C-ko, right?
Ok, here's another question: why was C-ko a monkey catching robot? what did that symbolise? :S

You broke my brain D:

Monkey-mouse!

Plus, when he is swapped into Saionji's body, he sits in a tree and eats bananas, behavior more typical of a monkey than a mouse.

My gut reaction towards Chuchu has always been that Chuchu seems like a mouse because it's a Cinderella reference. You know, a girl who is treated like a slave and only associates with mice. Then she meets a prince, gets married, lives in a castle, and goes to Disney Land during Cosplay Day.

But I think I prefer to think that he's a Poke'mon.

He's a moukey...or a monkouse. Seriously, Chu-Chu's a monkey. Mice don't have tails like that.

Its a Pokemon

You're absolutely right, Tamago! Chu Chu is actually a very rare breed of Pokemon called a Pikarill. Akio invented the species.

(ask Baka Kakumei Reanna about them. While you're at it, ask her about Chi Chi and Cha Cha. )

A Wild CHU-CHU appears!

Anthy sent out KEROPPON! Go, KEROPPON!

What will KEROPPON do?

KEROPPON used BITE!

It's super effective! CHU-CHU took damage!

Anthy used Luxury Ball! Anthy mashs A-Button.

Congratulations! CHU-CHU was caught!

CHU-CHU's information was added to the Monsterpedia!

for pure win.

TY TY *takes a bow* I'm glad yous found my Chu-Chu screencap amusing.

That aside, I always thought that Chu-Chu was a mouse until I saw him or is it her eat a banana.

Thats a good question, is Chu-Chu male or female? I thought it was male but in that episode where Wabaka's onion prince shows up and Chu-Chu goes all girly, I wonder if Chu-Chu is a girl or gay.

Ha ha, this isn't anything to do with Chuchu at all, but I'll field that one...because it's about my favourite character. It's referring directly to Nemuro, because he was a "computer-like man" who didn't think outside the boundaries of his work. He thought there was no use for emotion. The monkey-catching robot is the same, it does as it is programmed to do. It works. It never gets lonely. Yet when Tokiko looks at it, she remarks: "But when others look at you, they get lonely." It's the entire basis of their doomed relationship. Tokiko looked at Nemuro, and his isolated life made her feel badly for him. When he recognised that in her, he latched onto both her and Mamiya as not only the ones who showed him the problem, but also as being the solution. WHICH WAS BAD JUJU.

...as for the reason why the robot in question was designed to catch monkeys? Well. Why would you want to have a robot programmed to catch monkeys? Why would you want to have a computer-like man build a perpetual motion machine? Ask Akio. Unlike Ask Jeeves he won't give you a straight answer, but there may be a non-straight "happy ending" in it for you.
