Maribel & Renko's Location
The story in Retrospective 53 minutes leads me to think that Maribel and Renko live in Kyoto, with all the comparisons of Tokyo and Kyoto. --Wererat42 13:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Romanization
Who came up with "Maribel" as the spelling of マエリベリー "MAERIBERII"? There's no silent "i" in "ri" (it would be "ru"), and the "i" sound is even extended. There's no way to get "bel" from "BERII", it makes no sense. "Maryberry" would fit with the official katakana. I'm not the first to think of it, either. [1] [2]
I also don't see how you get "Han" from ハーン "HAAN". Wouldn't that be written ハン "HAN"? I'd go with "Hearn", it fits better (extended "a" is often used for the "er" sound) and the Hearn/Yakumo connection is too good to be a coincidence. Kapow0 05:24, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed with Hearn. No idea what to think about マエリベリー yet, other than "Maribel" doesn't really fit (though I do like the name). Nobody seems to have good concrete ideas - even the motoneta wiki won't say anything definitive. Maryberry would be more convincing if it were マエリベリー - one of the pages you linked points that out. --T. Solamarle 12:15, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
