***Well, either that or Albert was adopted from a relative and there's nothing in the series concretely pointing to either of those being the case. On another note, it's possible they're fully related, with Albert just being lighter toned, after all, there are real life examples of this happening.

** First: What ''exactly'' are Gankutsuou's powers? We know it gives Edmond a blue-skinned vampiric appearance, but otherwise [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands his powers]] [[AsStrongAsTheyNeedToBe are rather vague.]] Is he supposed to be [[OurVampiresAreDifferent an actual Vampire with all classic powers sans blood-drinking]] [[DaywalkingVampire or sunlight vulnerability?]]

** .....First of all...who's black? They're all French. And Albert looks pretty clearly related to them....even if they weren't French, he didn't suddenly switch race on them.

** Alternatively... maybe [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe Albert isn't Fernand's son]] [[LukeIMightBeYourFather but rather Dantes',]] [[Film/TheCountOfMonteCristo2002 just like in the 2002 movie?]] Not sure if the timeline would allow for it, since I ''think'' Albert was born around 5 years AFTER Dantes was arrested. Then again, Dantes was also dark-skinned. Who knows? Both Villefort' AND Danglars' wives cheated on them, so who's to say this version of Mercedes didn't also?

** In the original book both Mersedes and Fernand are Catalans, who usually have black hairs and darker skin tone.

** Probably Albert just remembering the childhood event and then imagining how his parents and Dantes were probably like that in their youth. Likely another way for Albert to try and distance his image of the people he loved from all the horrible things they did and became so he can move forward with his life.

* There are two major things that go unexplained in-story regarding the Count and Gankutsuou.

** Second: Where ''did'' the Count acquire his [[Fiction500 infinite wealth]] in this version? In the novel and movie, [[SecretKeeper Abbe Faria]] gave him the treasure of Spada's location. What is the origin of his wealth in the anime? Was it Gankutsuou's wealth as a space crime lord before he was imprisoned?
