| And so he's finally arrived. The Norimaki son Turbo is born! And leave it to Toriyama-sensei to promptly kill him off. Seriously, is Senbei neglecting his newborn to be a peeping Tom the most heinous thing he's done in the series so far? I think there's an argument to be made. I know it's played for laughs but...yeesh. Well, at least those aliens had the common courtesy to resurrect little Turbo after killing him, but if that E.T. ending(I won't even call it a reference since the movie was mentioned by name in the episode) is any indication Turbo may have been brought back as much more than he was. But speaking of that ending, was this the very first anime or manga series to feature the dreaded Truck-kun? It has to be an early example in either event. Right? Well I did some half-assed research and according to Wikipedia it was actually used waaay back in Astro Boy, so maybe not. But regardless, poor Turbo, neither of his parents seem all the careful while watching him. Next time: Is Senbei an alien, or is more going on with another member of the Norimaki clan? |
