Broadcasts by the "Japan-India Friendship Production"

After the End Title sequence for Episodes 1-12, there are some curious little live-action shorts that feature a Hindu Indian doling out bits of information about India and Indian culture in accented Japanese. His name is Dalgit, and he is identified as Chada's image consultant. The sound of a coo-coo bird underscores the scene, and the early ones are flanked by animation of the Indian flag. These are billed as �Dalgit�s Tidbit of India Information� in Episode One, with some of the following installments featuring a legend reading �Japan-India Friendship Production.� In the final episodes, the shorts are presented as coming live from the Shane Punjab Restaraunt in Tokyo. There are three Dalgit installments at the end of Episode 10, the usual one and then a �present� that consists of �a double-shot of never-before-aired footage.�

Some of these factoids offered by Dalgit are interesting, some are ludicrous, and they�re all presented in the �best� amateurish Public Access Television fashion. Each installment ends the sound of a flushing toilet and the title of the title of the next episode. Here are summaries of the shorts:

• Dalgit reveals that Indians love a drink called Lassi. After consuming this beverage, they have to say, �We must go pick up Joe!�
• Dalgit explains that in India bananas are considered food for poor people. �That banana is stupid,� he concludes.
• India won its war for independence on the same day that Japan surrendered in World War II. Dalgit wonders how fateful this is and says �Give me yen.� (This is actually a punny joke that doesn�t translate into English. Fate is pronounced �yen� in Japanese. �Yen� is also the name of the national currency, so when he delivers a pun that doesn�t translate into English, playing off the fact that �fate� is pronounced �yen� in Japanese.)
• There�s an Indian saying pronounced �dilidolha.� Dalgit says it both means that one�s goal is too far away and �don�t have your daughter-in-law eat the autumn egg-plant.� (He attributes the source for second meaning as Geronimo Hondo.)
• Dalgit explains the Gangees River is really named the Ganga. He says that according to scripture, flowing urine in the river is considered �healing sacred blood.� He then wonders that if the same applies to flowing feces.
• Japanese tourists apparently often feel ripped off in India. Dalgit suggests they should only pay what they want to by designating their desired refund upon giving merchants money. This is a curious way of suggesting tourists should haggle. He ends the bit with the even odder statement: �There�s white powder on Katsu�s pants.�
• Dalgit does an advertisment for Shane Punjab, a restaurant where one can enjoy authentic Indian food for 1,800 Yen or less.
• In Indian, the left hand is considered impure, so if you eat with your left hand, people will be shocked. Dalgit describes this as, �The Rule of My Boyfriend is a Lefthander.�
• Dalgit shows a portrait of NieA drawn by �Mr. Hongo of Tokyo.� He says it doesn�t look like NieA at all and that the Indians were disappointed as a result.
• India has three seasons: Summer, Winter, and Monsoon. Dalgit thinks that Japan is nice because it has four seasons, but that the weather still doesn�t beat that of India.
• India will soon be the most populace nation on Earth, according to Dalgit. Still, Indians are often confused with Amercian Indians, which he describes as small endangered population.
• Dalgit states that that the colors of the Indian flag symbolize bravery and purity, while the Japanese flag symbolizes a bento box. Dalgit isn�t sure if the last bit is true, but he can believe it--the Japanese like pickled plums and white rice (a red dot on a white background, like the Japanese flag).
• The Himalayan Mountains were made by the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates colliding. �Georama,� Dalgit exclaims. �Feel the power!�
• Indian recipes often feature beans�which they call �garbanzo.� (Apparently, �garbanzo� is a funny word in many language.) Dalgit signs off with a wave and �bye-onara.�
