It's a cute name, and I thought they looked similar even before that particular translation was used

We didn't know that yet when the Jyamato murdered the restaurant owner, that scene was very well done and rather terrifying, especially for the young ones.

The show is are very particular about these acrylic stands wrapped in red goo strings, assuming they are not permanently destroyed, but rather drained over a long period of time when used to make the "Dark Treats" I would think you can always free the people trapped inside still. Of course at some point during the process they might vanish forever, no resource is endless.

But I wonder if freeing Shoma's mother, once he realizes the possibility of bringing her back, will be an important motivation for him later on.

What I find interesting about this is that the core behind that idea is a loss of humanity, something Shoma does not experience. I assume he did however inherit his mothers ideals which he wants to uphold, even if it means being seen as a monster by others.
