yeah, i was thinking he had to live elsewhere too since sugane said that he rarely ever comes home in an earlier episode, and then confirmed that joe only comes home if he needs equipment in this one. maybe he stays in the g-crew headquarters? that would be my most likely bet! it would let him live on his own since paiman, hajime, and sugane share an apartment and utsutsu + o.d. live in an apartment together. i'm not sure if the headquarters has everyday necessities like a shower and kitchen to cook, but with how much money he probably makes as a civil servant, he can probably afford to eat out everyday depending on what he buys.
i would love a flashback episode with joe, though! i'm mostly curious about when he and sugane were having a conversation and sugane said, "i only became a gatchaman because of you," and joe replied with "how many times have i heard that?" i'm aware it can be taken two ways: one being sugane constantly reminding him that he became a gatchaman because of joe, or that other gatchaman have said the same thing as sugane. i always thought it was the latter, so it makes me wonder if it's true, what happened to the others? and does it have something to do with why joe seems to like working on his own? i want to know more about him so badly. ;o;
that's a good theory on berg, though! once the g-crew decided they were going to keep a low profile for now, i started getting a bad feeling in my gut. ;; people are going to wonder where they are and why they aren't helping anyone, but i didn't know what it would end up causing. your theory on ordinary heroes vs. the gatchaman fits right into it, and i think you're right! it's already been stated that berg destroys worlds without ever getting his own hands dirty, so i definitely think you're onto something with the big red blaze.
at the very least, i'm going to assume that paiman and o.d. don't have any family to speak of. paiman's already said that he's traveled to and saved many worlds, so even if he does have family, they're probably in a different world entirely. ;; o.d.'s already hinted that he's not from this world (and maybe even accidentally destroyed one himself since he knows he'll destroy the world if he uses his gatchaman powers), so i don't think he has anyone. i definitely want backstory on utsutsu, sugane, and joe, though! i agree that sugane must have been raised by an older relative or his grandparents, so i'd definitely like to see what he was like as a child to have adopted acting like a samurai!
