At the times when this 5-points star was considered to belong to satanism, blacks cats were considered to be incarnations of evil. Should we consider black cats as evil and burn them as it was done at these times? ;) Many symbols are considered as evil/satanist, and one can accidentally appear in images such as this one. Just think about that: is this symbol considered negative in Japan?
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

It think it's just a star to give the ball a bit of shape.

no,i dont think it was...hell,if you can get away with letting your 5 year old by silent hill,i dont think a pentogram/occult star in astro boy is gonna do much.
although it is true what fafner said...the pentogram thing by today is rather bland and dose'nt really mean much...however,back in the days of "devil crash'"...
yeah,i too have a deviant art acount ^.^ pop in some time to enjoy the fine art of rubishness!

hand gestures also have different meanings to different cultures, as does nearly everything else. :d evil:

In Australia, if you point your finger to your ear and move it in a circle around your ear, it means crazy. I think other countries have this too. In Japan, it means crazy if the circle is drawn backwards. But forwards it means smart, like the working gears of a machine.

Same here, in the U.S.
