Saber Marionette Random J to X Ep. 3 stuff

The things you notice when you watch this episode like five times a night for five days:

@ Hanagata uses Engrish words "slender" and "beautiful" to describe his legs when he leaps out of the trap door early in the sequence.

@ Hanagata's night gown is mustard yellow instead of lavender (as it was in J Again) and it also has puff balls on its ties ;;;

@ Kamatarou's palanquin/sedan chair has a brown seat inside it.

@ Yumeji gets out of the palanquin with Kamatarou, but we never see him get back inside it. Yet, we do not see him with Hanagata, Otaru and the girls as Kamatarou's palanquin is carried off, either. And yet, Yumeji is at the river with everyone in the next scene. What happened?!

@ Look closely at Kamatarou's manga in the photo album. Apparently, he draws shoujo LOL.

@ There is also a picture of Kamatarou and son playing tetris (or a tetris-like game) in the album.

@ The train Kamatarou and Hanagata take to Xi'an is # 201, and they sit in the second car behind the engine.

Ooooo... More Hana goodies ^_^ I've noticed points 4, 5, and 6, but I didn't realize the rest. Great stuff!

 

and more...

After seeing it again:

@) Kamatarou and Mitsurugi actually look more alike than you'd think. They both have narrow, blue eyes (Hana's are shaped differently than everyone else's and the irises are also smaller, perhaps implying that he is older?). Also, they both have the same protruding chin, Roman nose, and two curly locks of hair as well as the same scowl.

@) Also, you have to watch carefully for this but: Mitsurugi right eye has a tendancy to twitch when he's upset/startled. Kamatarou's right eye also twitches at these times (but far more subtly). Check Kamatarou's face immediately after Hanagata says "Daddy, I don't wanna go!"

@) And speaking of that scene, in the original Japanese, Hanagata addresses his father as 'father' instead of Daddy when he tells him he doesn't want to go to Xi'an.

@) During Kamatarou and Mitsurugi's sumo match, Kamatarou knocks out one of Mitsurugi's front teeth. In the next scene, (when Mitsurugi staggers back to his feet), he has a full mouth of teeth. But when he charges Kamatarou for the last time (when his face is bruised, his nose broken and bleeding), his tooth is missing again.

@) Our dear Mitsurugi is left handed!! When he's playing the guitar, he strums it with his right hand and chords with his left.

 

W-Wow...sugoi...I never noticed all that....Good Job!!

 

I always thought if you were right handed, you strummed with your right. If Iwere to pick up a guitar, I would want to strum with my right..

But, I obviously never have, so what do i know? Interesting infos. So can we assume that Hanako may not be adopted after all?

 

*.* Whoa..I never noticed...ANY OF THOSE!!! Maybe I haven't watched Ep. 3 that much o.o;;..^.^ But Hana is a cutie..so I think...>> Im going to go watch it right now..

 

LOL

Naw, Lime, it's just because I have no life ^^.

~ Lady Aoi: actually, I do. I just like Ep. 3 way too much.
