Quote:I prefer nihongonized..though I'm not sure that's a word either.
Ken Arromdee's Strategy and Tactics suggests -- tho' I don't know how accurately -- that Minako's name tracks correctly if it's a Nihongized (is that a word?) Korean name.

As for Hotaru, I'd certainly like to have Doug stumble across her before the lab accident. I don't know how much divergence from the first season plot I can let myself have yet, though.
Be one hell of a divergence..for one, the entire rationale of season 4 just went out the window. Either the Witches 5 becomes a Senshi support team or magical girls (minor senshi?) in their own right.
OTOH, the look on Beryl's face when Doug and the Senshi port into her Dimension and instead of assaulting, set up a firebase and have Saturn do prep bombardment first would be priceless.
Last but not least...anything that saves Hotaru from years of pain and sorrow is a noble act in it's own right and it's one I whole heartedly support.
