Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, episode 18

[cypsiman2]

Point the first; Dr. Nambu is a dick. "I wouldn't be surprised if the baby whale was more useful than you guys."

Point the second; So, Joe's parents are dead, so are Jun and Jinpei's, and Ken's dad is a total deadbeat who could have told his son what happened to him any time but didn't on account of him being a deadbeat. Makes me kind of worry about Ryu's parents, even if they do turn out to be alive.

Also...

Jinpei: Joe, hey Joe! What did your parents get you for Christmas?
Joe: *Smack!* MY PARENTS ARE DEEAAAAD!

On one hand, Nambu was a dick and that comment made me go "what the hell, mentor?!" when I saw the episode. On the other hand, the team DID screw off the mission to save the whale. They're lucky things worked out as well as they did. XD;

I could ease your worries about Ryu, but it'd involve a tiny spoiler.

True, true, it just seems random at times what will piss off Dr. Nambu, and what he'll let slide.

Nah, no need for spoilers; I'll be a good viewer and wait until I get to the episode where they get into his character and family situation.

Yeah, he's a rather unpredictable mentor.
