>>714054917Didn't help that I never saw her name written consistently between the games, the anime, and the internet. Mayl, Maylu, Meiru, and Mail
Netto was obvious, I thought it was retardedly so until I actually knew Japanese and now I love it and the whole naming scheme going on with Saito (彩 sai meaning to color/dye, referring to his ability to take on abilities and change appearance, and also site) and Raito (来 rai meaning to come/coming, like how 未来 mirai is future in the sense of literally being "yet to come", but also write, like writing data, but also Light/Right, like the doctor).
Enzan is 炎山 flame mountain, sounds more extreme than 火山 kazan volcano which is fire mountain. But it's also a case of sound symbolism, because zan usually refers to cutting, so his name is like "flame cutting", which works with Netto because the 熱 netsu in Netto means feverish, hot, a name perfect for a hot-blooded shounen, and his rival being one who cuts flames feels perfect.
Dekao is huge guy and Chisao is little guy
Hikari Tadashi is just Light Right.
