Rule #1 (of life *or* anime):  Never say Never   ^_^

	Well he didn't.  When he got free he headed straight for Earth.
So he didn't bother the galaxy.

	Okay, he kinda blew up the Galaxy Police Headquarters in getting
free, but ...

IIRC, Sexaroids are not common on Earth - weren't they legally banned
because of their ability to synchronize with certain types of weaponry?

	I suspect that, while that's the *real* reason they were banned,
that's not the *official* reason.  But you're right, escaped sexaroids
aren't common enough that they would be a "been there, done that" item on
TV.  On the other hand, I think a figure of magical powers would
overshadow them.

<    There had been an earthquake a little while earlier.  Priscilla
Samantha Asagiri had never experienced one before.  She hoped no one had
gotten hurt.  She tried calling some people, but the phone lines were
dead, so she turned on the CD player to listen to some music and wait for
her parents to get home. 

Does Priss live outside Tokyo? (because the 2nd Kanto was only be an
'earthquake' (as opposed to a disaster) and her home still has utility
services (electricity, definitely)?)

	It could be a portable, battery powered CD player.

If so, why would she be sent to an
orphanage *in* Tokyo - wouldn't they (if they still stand) be overflowing
and unable to take outsiders?

	One point -- it hasn't ever been completely demonstrated that the
orphanage to which she takes Sho was the *same* orphanage where she spent
her formative years.

	But what I think John is suggesting is that Priss lived in one of
Tokyo's suburbs that wasn't as hardhit by the quake.
