You know, this got me thinking: how many of Fujimoto's ideas are linked to Japanese language? Because falling is just a verb, but falling into despair is an expression which might not even exist in many languages.

Well, we know Denji's name is a pun on the Japanese word for Angel, Aki's name was chosen because it could be spelled with the kanji for empty, and Makima's name is "Mama" with "tree" in the middle because chainsaws chop down trees, so...

...there's probably puns in Yoshida and Asa's names that are going to be very relevant.

Asa means day and Yoru means night, so there's that since they're opposites but also two halves of a whole. There's probably going to be some sort of extra meaning to it as well.

I have no idea what Hirofumi Yoshida could mean significance wise, but I'm excited to find out.

I know it's not intentional, but Makima's name rung as "machina" from the first time I heard it. Turned out to be a happy coincidence.

I heard Makima was also chosen because it sounds like Makita, a brand of chainsaws.
