An early pitch for the show featured two children onboard the ship, a boy and a girl. In the end, the two designs merged. The original male design makes a cameo appearance in Session #5.

A picture in Annie's shop in Session #5 shows Annie with the two most important men in her life. One of them is Mao Yenrai but who is the other man in the picture? In a recent interview with director Shinichiro Watanabe, the man was revealed to be Annie's late husband.

In Session #22, Andy traded his old fashioned six-shooter for a samurai sword and changed his name to Musashi before he rode off into the sunset. In The Movie, he makes a cameo appearance.


MOCACHU

This elusive creature is Mocachu. The little critter appears in Session #20 and Session #22 and may have possibly appeared in other sessions. The little monster even makes an appearance in The Movie. Thanks to Big Big Truck for pointing this one out.
