[Androzani84]

Well here we are, at part two. I’ll start with more etymology.

Kaito Goshikida: five-colour world person.

Juran: derived from “Jurassic”

Gaon: onomatopoeia for a lion’s roar

Magine: Derived from “Majin” (Mage), but with the last syllable sounding like the onomatopoeia for nervousness.

Vroon: Onomatopoeia for a car starting.

Yatsude: From Saburo Yatsude, Toei’s equivalent to Alan Smithee

Bokkowaus: Derived from bukkowausu (to destroy)

Barashitara: onomatopoeia for disassembling.

Ijirude: From Izil (tinker)

And I totally called Fish would go into details about Magine. To explain my initial response, Yumi Yamamoto is Angela Mei’s real name. I’ll also mention that the embrace between the two at the end was not in the script. And this fangirling was notable enough that it was being referenced during Donbrothers.(In the midst of jokes about Sononi and Mezool becoming fast friends due to their shared goal of experiencing love, and then fast enemies due to the former’s mission to destroy overwhelming desire clashing with the latter being… well, you know)



And I mentioned last time that Orihime Wald was voiced by a man, and I’ll reveal why here. The same VA - Soichiro Hoshi (who Toku fans may recognise as Birca from Go-Onger, and for dubbing over C K Lee in Power Rangers, while Cartoon Network fans may recognise him as the Japanese VA for Ben 10 and several characters in Bakugan) also voices Hikkoboshi Wald (it was the idea of one of the associate producers, to tie into the Tanabata theme)

And we end this two parter with a demon escaping his seal. I’ll use this chance to mention that one early plan for the series was for the giant sword in the background of Wonder World to turn out to be a prison for a demon king that would become the final boss.
