Re: Who Do You Wish We'd Seen Again?
[quote][i]Originally posted by ElectricWhite[/i] I'd like to know how (or if?) Kena adjusted after Ken left. (Also, my nit-picky side demands to know how she and Ken could ride that one llama without snapping its back!)[/quote] Yeah, that would be interesting. She fell for him so fast (but then again, I can't say I blame her). I can't help but to wonder why Ken didn't completely freak out over what he had done when he lost his memory after he came to. I also wonder if he still felt feelings for her after he came to or if he just felt sorry for her (that he led her on). I'd also like to see Jun's reaction to all of that! It's a good thing Joe went after Ken to wake him up and not Jun!

Re: Totally random thoughts...
Hi all! There are actually a number of characters across the three series that know the identities of the Science Ninja Team, at least in some manner. You see, many of the people who "know" who they are have seen their faces or seen them in civilian clothes, but they don't necessarily know a lot of personal information about them, like their full names or where they live. So, I'll leave up to you to decide for yourself how well some of these qualify. One that applies to all three series are the numerous unnamed I.S.O. scientists, technicians, and engineers who would have worked with, or at least seen, the Science Ninja Team in their civilian clothes in Crescent Coral Reef, G-Town, and Gatchaman Base. There are enough of these guys that I'm not going to try to list them individually. Surprisingly, Director Anderson doesn't know their identities, and has no way to contact them without Dr. Nambu. Ryu's father and Seiji do not know his identity. There's some confusion over this because of some rewriting of the Japanese disalogue in the Italian version of the Gatchaman II episode in which they appear that has them discover the truth. However, the original Japanese dialogue for that scene makes it clear that they don't know Ryu's secret. Gatchaman: Dr. Takahara (Episode #3) Knows at least what Ken looks like. Ken introduced himself as "Ken, the Eagle" while in his civilian clothes, and Dr. Takahara knows that Ken, as Gatchaman, was responsible for "killing" the fake Captain Takahara -- at least from Makoto's point of view. Naomi Nakahara (Episode #4) As pointed out, Naomi knows their true identities, as well as where Jun and Jinpei live. Prince Luka (Episode #19) He knows what all of the Ninja Team look like, as he saw them in their civilian identities before the start of the race. Chinchiro (Episode #64) The youngest member of the Swims Gang is the only one to realize that the kid they saw might be Jinpei, the Swallow, though he wasn't fully certain about it. Toda (Episode #72) The entomologist might have figured out who Jinpei is, since the Ninja Team came to pick him up. It's hardly definite, though. Girls from the Beauty Center contest (Episode #74) The girls captured along with Jun during the contest would have seen her face, but likely know nothing else about her identity. Rumi (Episode #79) It is implied that Rumi recognizes Ken in his civilian clothes at the end of the episode, but it is never made clear if she might know anything more than what he looks like. Gatchaman II: Dr. Raphael He knows Joe's identity, and has seen Ken without his helmet. He does die at the end of the series, though, so does he count as "still living?" How many episodes does a character have to survive with the knowledge for them to count? Dr. Pandora She knows their identities, but like Dr. Raphael, she also dies at the end of the series, so she may not count. Milly (Episode #17) A friend of Jun's. She knows that Jun is part of the Ninja Team, though it is possible that she has never seen Jun outside of her Bird Style. Workers on the plane (Episode #26) When the Ninja Team first meet Dr. Pandora on her airplane, there are technicians on board the plane as well. Joe, who is dressed as a truck driver, introduces himself as "Joe, the Condor," despite these strangers being around him. As it turns out, one of them is even a Gallactor spy! Mako (Episode #28) She knows Joe's identity from the time he spent with Hawk Getz. Pete and Michi (Episode #31) They rescue Ken when the Eagle Sharp crashes and they work with to hide him from Gallactor. Kena (Episode #32) She nurses the amnesiac Ken back to health, only to discover his real identity after he regains his memory. Kids in the Amazon (Episode #34) Jinpei, in civilian clothes, tells a bunch of kids who he really is, and then almost compounds the problem by telling them who the rest of the Ninja Team is. Dr. Holling, Mark, and, well, pretty much every guest character in the story (Episode #36) Ken wears a unique uniform in this episode that does nothing to disguise his face, and there are times when he is with people while not wearing that helmet, and everyone they encounter recognizes him as Gatchaman. Sam (Episode #46) Director Anderson's grandson sees Ken as he reveals his true self to Gel Sadra to convince her that Sam is not Gatchaman. Sosai X (Epiode #49) X provides Gel Sadra with a photo of Ken and Joe in their civilian clothes, so he knows what they look like. Why was he keeping this a secret from Gel Sadra and the rest of Gallactor? Gatchaman Fighter: Anna (Episode #21) Joe's childhood friend didn't know his secret identity until he radioed the rest of the Ninja Team with her standing next to him. Riska and her fellow resistance fighters (Episode #28) Riska and her band of resistance fighters see Ken, Joe, Jinpei, and Ryu in their civilian identities as they help rescue them. This group then see the heroes transform into Bird Style. Kidnapped Scientists (Episode #31) Ken and Joe reveal their true faces to the scientists, as well as their Ninja Team identities, while rescuing them. Dr. Beari and Lucy (Episode #33) Ryu, in cold weather civilian clothes, reveals his Ninja Team identity to this father and daughter as he rescues them from Gallactor. Why he'll tell them and not his own family is a mystery. Carmilla (Episode #38) This young girl removes Jinpei's bracelet, causing his Bird Style to revert to his civilian clothes. Spy SP-2 (Episode #41) This Gallactor spy knows who Ken is in his civilian clothes. I guess she got a copy of X's photo... I hope this helps! James

Re: Gatchaman Safety Gear??
Thanks!!! I saw this on Kena's FB page a couple of days ago but they hadn't given an explanation in English. :)

Re: More Springie Pics...
That's what Kena said! And then I drew the third pic of Joe challenging someone in a fight...so that fits in, too...hmmm there may be a subliminal story here thanks to you!

Re: ChrisW's Art
Undo is the most wonderful thing in the world. :) Here's my first time playing with Sketchbook Pro! I've done layered digital stuff before but this is the first time I've used my stylus and opened up this particular app. No subtlety here, just 1 round of colouring, I'm not so sure of my ability to shade as yet.

Re: The Andes girl
Good points...I don't think Kena would be strong enough to hang in there...although...she might surprise me. Tengu...who is the fat old man with the money? Were you thinking of someone specific or just a random "sugar daddy"?

Re: The Andes girl
[quote][i]Originally posted by ChrisW[/i] *shrug* On some level I can appreciate someone who understands that the fate of the world comes before their own needs. That and the fact that keeping Kena in his life would put her in massive danger.[/quote] And also it takes a strong person to stand by someone like that. If Ken regained his memories, went back to the team and "allowed" himself to have a relationship (and I'm not sure it would be much of one due to the duty thing, or if it would last long), would [I]Kena[/I] be able to do it? Just a couple of thoughts....

Re: The Andes girl
Haha...I just had to add in the picture of Kena sucking the poison out of Ken's leg...even though it wasn't intended that way...it would upset Jun to walk up and see that! *grin*

Re: The Andes girl
Here we go...Jun's reaction when she finds out that Kena got more action from Ken in a few days than she did in a few years!

Re: The Andes girl
All of you made me almost fall down from the chair. EW- Yeah. his strands of hairs stuck out of his helmet were the strongest evidence. LOL CW- Judging by the visual scenes, you're definitely right. The only reason I think Ken was so into Kena was the ending narrations. I don't know what was said in English version, but original Japanese narrator says- "If Ken were not the Gatchaman, he would stay in the Andes." KT/Springie- It's so cruel for Jun! CW's imagination quietly makes sense. Springie, thank you for bring me a pic to read. :D

Re: The Andes girl
CW -- I think Ken [I]had[/I] fallen for Kena. The thing that convinced me of that was the fact that Ken let a copule of pieces of hair hang in his face as he left. I know that might not seem like a big deal, but after all the episodes where he'd been through all sorts of hell -- both emotional and physical -- and his hair stayed tucked under his helmet, that small "imperfection" made him look like a refugee who'd just seen his home get bombed.

Re: The Andes girl
I didn't get the impression that Ken was in love with Kena. He seemed to just be letting her lead him around since he didn't know who he was or where to go. (Let's face it, she was using him to get away from a marriage she didn't want, she had to know that he would remember who he was and want to leave.) He did seem a little conflicted when it was time to leave, but that could have been out of feeling bad for her more than anything. I can see Jun finding them and Ken waking up with this crazy, costumed woman shaking him and yelling at him and wondering who the hell she is. :)

Re: The Andes girl
[quote][i]Originally posted by Springie[/i] I always wondered how different it would have been if Jun had rescued Ken in the desert instead of Joe. She would have seen the two of them all snuggled up together like that, and she would be freaked out!! (Kind of like she was when she saw that island girl -can't recall her name- kiss Ken on the beach!) It's kind of obvious that Ken and Kena had an intimate relationship.[/quote] That thought has crossed my mind too, I recon Jun would have gone off in a huff, prepared to let Ken die, so Joe or the others would have had to go save him anyhow! Still Jun being Jun, she would have forgiven him eventually, when she knew the full story.

Re: The Andes girl
Interesting thoughts! I always had lots of questions about that episode, too! I wrote a story about it before I ever saw the episode. I just wrote about what might have happened after I looked at screenshots. It's called "One Last Kiss", and I felt like I had just written one of those silly talk show dramas after I was finished ("Who's Your Baby Daddy?" LOL). Here's a link: [URL=http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=65]One Last Kiss[/URL] rachel, those are some great ideas...that would make a nice fic! I agree with Chris, Ken's sense of duty would win out and he would try to rescue Kena...and Jun would probably think she had lost Ken...which would create tons of angst. Of course, if I was writing the story...Ken would *have* to reveal that his true feelings were for Jun. *grin* (Really, though, he only knew Kena for a matter of days...) Jun's selfish motivations for holding back the letter would be understandable, but I would hope that her conscience would get to her in the end, and she'd do the right thing (maybe with some helpful prodding from Joe). I always wondered how different it would have been if Jun had rescued Ken in the desert instead of Joe. She would have seen the two of them all snuggled up together like that, and she would be freaked out!! (Kind of like she was when she saw that island girl -can't recall her name- kiss Ken on the beach!) It's kind of obvious that Ken and Kena had an intimate relationship.
