All There in the Manual: The official website revealed background information on the two main characters. Port and Umi are childhood friends. Port wants to grow up to be like his father, a famous sailor. Jolly Roger (Port pet crab) was his first catch and became his lifelong friend. Umi never knew her parents would like to learn about them someday. Ankle will be a very important character who appears in unexpected places and, for some reason, doesn’t seem fond of the ocean. |

Bait-and-Switch: The inventor hasn't been able to do much of anything ever since he lost Bonnie during "the shatter", and a picture shows him with his wife and a goldfish. It's eventually revealed that Bonnie was the goldfish, which was mutated into the sea monster Port and Umi were hunting in the beginning of the pilot; the wife was upstairs the whole time. |
