FAQs
Q: Why did you turn the characters into humans?

Well, this is kind of a long story. It dates back to my Spongicus days. You see, when I was visuallizing the episodes, I was having trouble with the Hand-to-Hand scenes. So, with this series, I had them become Mermaid Man-Barnacle Boy like characters, so we could still have some awesome action scenes, but stay semi-true to the source material.

Q: Why have Spongebob Train in the afterlife?

This was actually an idea from the first few episodes of DBZ, believe it or not. If you look closely, the difference in the protaginist's strength from when he died, and when he returned, is astronomical. And since Syn has been established as an incredibly powerful villian, he needed some training. I also wanted to set some strings for future plotlines.

Q: Why are the Spirit Eaters' names have Y's in them?

As you know, Spirit Eaters are made from the negative aspects of existance. If you look at some ancient images (think Egyptian, Mayan)(not all have this trait), you'll see that a Y-shaped figure or symbol is sometimes associated with darkness and evil. This is a homage to that.
