Not to mention the explanation for why SKULL was so much more powerful than Joe was explained - he was a cyborg with the Kagura Village skeletal mask that enhanced combat abilities.

Not to mention Kiriko's child had Joe's hair, which was the WORST PLOT TWIST EVER in my view. "I am your father!" was a half-arsed effort to shock the Star Wars viewers, but it was so inane people wouldn't have expected it a big-name professional film, and thus wasn't interpreted as such.
Oh god, I didn't notice the detail of the child's hairstyle.

I *am* kinda shocked now


Anyway, the 1980 series was one of my favorite anime when I was a child and I still really like the characters. Would like to watch the 2001 one somewhen but never have time for it D:
