Hi all
Okay, it's been a week since I posted the link to the episode, so I figure that's plenty of time to give people to watch it without feeling like I'd be spoiling anything. So, here are the Gatchaman characters that I spotted in the episode. The big names first:
Dr. Nambu
Joe
Red Impulse, along with Seiji and Ryu's Father
Seiji is Ryu's little brother and Ryu's Father is, well, Ryu's father. They both appeared in Gatchaman #'s 26 and 75, as well as Gatchaman II #30.
Dr. Raphael, along with Hawk Getz
Hawk Getz was to be Joe's replacement on the Science Ninja Team, but he was killed and replaced by a Gallactor spy. He appeared in Gatchaman II #'s 1, 2, and 28.
Berg Katse, along with two Gallactor Members
Egobossler and Gel Sadra, along with a trio of Gallactor Members
And then we have a few guest characters who appeared in only one episode:
Dr. Henjinman and Devil Star 2
Dr. Henjinman was the creator of the cyborg horses in Gatchaman #21. Devil Star 2 tried to assassinate Dr. Nambu, and was later killed by Joe in Gatchaman #31. She was later revealed to be Father Alan's fiancee.
Father Alan and a bunch of Gallactor Members
Speaking of Father Alan, here he is. He was Joe's childhood friend from Gatchaman #81. The Gallactor Members have been appearing since Gatchaman #1.
Dr. Ogawara and Nakamora
Dr. Ogawara and Nakamora appeared in Gatchaman #59. Dr. Ogawara was the Gallactor Mechanical Designer who crafted numerous Iron Beasts. Nakamora was his assistant.
Anyone spot any Gatchaman characters I missed? There were plenty of characters from other Tatsunoko shows, including Gold Lightan, Itadakiman, Casshan, Space Ace, Muteking, Zendaman, and more, but I've concentrated only on the Gatchaman characters here.
One other bit from the episode that I did enjoy was this one:
I'm sure many of you recognized the statue as being based on the "Partners" statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse that can be found at Disneyland, Disney World, and other Disney theme parks. The pair in this statue is Tatsuo Yoshida, Tatsunoko's first company president and the creator of Gatchaman, and Space Ace, the star or Tatsunoko's first TV series. I certainly wouldn't mind visiting a "Tatsunokoland" theme park with a statue like this in it!
