<p>In what sense is Oubu "a part"? Oubu at this time does look slightly different than it did during the incident in Ueno (probably just because Oubu changes shape a bit depending on how powered-up/powered-down it is). Now:</p>

I believe that the japanese original does not convey the meaning of "thing" as a single object.
