Asamiya probably drew some concepts from Gadget for SD and gave it a twist. I mean, the dude did a typical science fiction manga in which binary code materializes in the real world as people (referring to it as a "game") in order to delete and reform it, plus the magical girl show where the Internet is more or less a parallel universe where people can get caught by viruses and only anthropomorfic representations of Norton, Chkdsk and Defrag can save them.G.Silver wrote:The big rumor I heard regarding Inspector Gadget was that the guy who does Steam Detectives had a hand in the character designs, but maybe that's completely wrong and he just drew some inspiration from it. The main thing is, there's a character in it who looks just like him.
