This is a japanese page that lists the characters and what roles they play. However, something's confusing me. They show Skunk with an arrow pointing to Denkou, which I understand, but they also show him with an arrow pointing to Epsilon. Is Skunk connected to Epsilon somehow? I've got the japanese set, but it doesn't have anything about Skunk and Epsilon. The characters who have arrows pointing to other characters, they all have something to do with each other. I just don't see what Epsilon has to do with Skunk.

Weird. I don't know, maybe it's got something to do with green hair.

i know... where both astro's friends but that's only half of it... umm i've never seen skunk with Epsilon... or maybe denkou was made by the same person who made Epsilon... maybe if some one finds out what those japaness letters say in the blue arrow we could get some clue

The meaning is: The Skunk evil intention use robot, does not have the relation with Epsilon. It only indicated that, Skunk to the robot the manner, the Skunk use robot, only makes the misdemeanor, does not do the good deed.

Thanks StellDream!

So Epsilon and Denkou's only connection is that they're robots?

Denkou was made by Dr Emile. I don't think Epsilon's creator is mentioned.

Atom's schoolmates and sensei are all in one circle, it seems reasonable that the circle indicates their association or relationship to each other, while the arrow indicates a relationship to Atom. Although Skunk had used Denko, he had not used Epsilon, and Denko never even met her. I would think his attitude towards robots would be insufficient for any such relationship on this chart. Although Skunk did use Jumbo, Gademu, & that soul-sucking robot for evil, that still does not explain either the circle or the arrow that also points to E. I am not satisfied with this explanation. :d evil:

BTW, except for their positions, Epsilon & Kato are almost indistinguishable on this chart. irate:

thanks alot

Thank you StellDream. But I agree with Jeffbert, the circle makes no sense. A circle of caracters together indicates their connection, as Astro's friends are all connected to each other, and thus connected with Astro. It bugs me because I know Denkou and Epsilon have nothing in common. Why would they be in the same circle? I'm not sure the arrow only means that Skunk uses robots, because if that were the case, wouldn't there be an arrow pointing to every robot on that chart? It's confusing, I wonder if I could get in touch with the people who run that page. The only problem is they may not speak english...

Maybe it was first used as an early characters planning or something like that, while something in the scenario was planned between Skunk and Epsilon, but they changed their minds somewhere later during the production.

That would certainly make sense.



If I could translate THIS part right here, that might be of some help. I've translated Skunk, Epsilon, and Denkou's profiles, but it doesn't explain anything about a connection. If somebody could translate that blue arrow right there, it might tell us something.
