What is this thing and why does Bomberman have it?
>>2766656
antenna, to communicate with his fellow bombermen
According to the Bomberman 64 manual it's hisBENIS :D:D::D:DD
No mut seriously no idea. Probably an antenna
>>2766656
An antenna since he's meant to be a robot
>>2766703
A cold, soulless machine whose existence will cease to be when he finally breaks down for good.

>whose existence will cease to be when he finally breaks down for good.
Like all living things?
Didn't bombermen originate in Lode Runner? They were robots in that, so yeah it's probably an antenna. I don't know if Bomberman series bombermen are still robots or just humans wearing helmets.

Video games treat living things as having souls.
>>2766656
the antenna is hooked up to your controller.

NES bomberman and NES lode runner port are connected

japanese version plays it straight

the design of lode runner enemy sticked, the rest of this "canon" was trashed
i don't think bomberman was a human at any point of the series

Not only video games, but the japanese shinto religion is like that. Everything has a spirit.
>>2766682
Maybe in the Xbox xtreme Bomberman.

It's ok, Wario put him out of his misery.
it makes him look like a seedling, perhaps their race reproduces like plants do, not sure why they're good with bombs maybe they needed ground to spread so they developed bombs to open up new areas and clear rocks and things
>>2766656
It's a fuse,
>>2766715
We all know Bombermen become real people and go searching for gold
>>2766656
it's to show you he isn't fucking around.
It might be an antenna used in conjunction with remote bombs.
>>2767773
Makes sense.
>>2766656
It's obviously a third arm. Aka his bomber dick. Don't ask me why the pink pretty bomber has one.
always thought it was a samurai type thing
>>2767816
I figured Bomberman to be a kind of alien ninja who's primary weapon of choice is bombs.
I also thought it was meant to look like a lit wick.

he's more real than Megaman.
>>2767828
This, pretty sure it's a combination of an antenna, samurai hair and a wick.
>>2766715
Silicon heaven?
>>2766656
its abomb
>>2766668
>you will never know what Bomberman's communication is like
Bomberchan must've been nuts.
>>2767886
is this site wide or just for this board?
>>2768384
Just the board, don't get cocky now
>>2768257Someone just made that up to prevent you from all going nuts
>>2766656
He has no mouth so he must beam.

It'sR/C antenna that let's you control him in-game

It's an arcade stick. His face is a white arcade cabinet.
Anyone have that one inage of bomberman trapped behind a bomb with the detailed fave overlayed? I enjoy that one.
>>2766715
the lifespan of a bomberman is far too short for that kind of philosophizing
>>2770509
that's a cute way to look at it
