| style="font-size:140%" valign="top" | Best Wishes has brought about many changes to the anime. One of the big ones that has caused much discussion is Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyasu's new attitude. They are no longer the goofy, comedic, blasting off bad guys they once were. They are now serious, competent, and know when to cut their losses and escape, villains. There has been much debate as to the cause of this change, as well as whether or not they're even "in character" anymore. [[Bulbagraphic:Best Wishes Rocket-Dan|Continued...]]
