If not, I recommend you read it, and be prepared to sniffle (in a good way).I just did... Wow... yes. Very much so. And thanks!

Amusingly, though in the 2199 version Okita has gone bare-headed a couple of times - in the original 1974 series, there was only ONE time we ever saw Captain Avatar without his captains chapeau firmly atop his head. A brief scene of him in his personal quarters on earth before the launch when he's in bed. (And torso partially wrapped in bandages from his wounds in the Pluto battle.)
Other than that 5 second clip, the hat NEVER leaves his head. NOT ONCE. Even when he's in his SPACE SUIT you can see he has the hat on through the visor! Even when he's being OPERATED ON by Dr. Sane, he has the anesthetic breather on OVER THE HAT!!
Phil Foglio is well-known for being an old-school Yamato fan. In fact he helped pen one of the Comico Star Blazers comics back in the late 80s. Y'think the Jagers might've had the bit with the hats perhaps inspired just a bit by Captain Avatar? ^_^
