This brings up a question I've had for a while:  What the hell does
bubblegum have to do with Bubblegum Crisis?!  It makes it sound like a
comedy about idiots who chew bubblegum!

Bubblegum, as in something that blows up bigger and bigger until it explodes
in your face.


According to the creator of the series, Toshimichi Suzuki:

"we... named the series "bubblegum" to reflect a world in crisis, like a
chewing-gum bubble that's about to burst."
