About Narcy, I'd also like to point out that his name gives a nod to the Narcissus myth. Y'know, the one where that gay guy looked into a pond, fell in love with his reflection, and ended up drowning himself trying to kiss it.

Edit:

Yeah, that too, but I mostly see his first name (which comes after his last name in the japanese version) that reflects his NAVI.

There is no prof that EXE and Dash Barrel are related, they just have the same name.

Are you just associating things with characters Zetto? Because I think a bunch of those are just completly random.

Indeed. Jasmine is not much else other than a plant. Perhaps you were thinking of olivine, or some other mineral.

A lot of them do seem random or incorrect. ^^; There's a pretty recent topic about this, though, isn't there?

I thought that Jasmine was also a type of jewel? Also just because I said the names of Shuko and Barrel are derived from MML characters didn't mean that they WERE those characters. What about the others were RANDOM?

I doubt I drink crystal shards instead of leaves.

Netto's kanji literally means Heat Spot, so if you find that Babel fish is off, it's only a pun.

Midorikawa means green river, translate it to the fullest.

That's "Jasper", Zetto. :P And the other name translations don't seem all that likely, considering. I'm not sure how you derived "salad" from "Saloma". >_>

Jasmine is only a flower I'm afraid, you might be thinking of a mineral with similar pronounciation perhaps, but a jasmine is just a white flower known to have important curative uses, most of which are usually directly applied on the skin.

That's "know", BTW. :P

We can feel free to add more, but we can't feel free to correct you on your mistakes? <<

Like I said, the list was asking for trouble. More possible mistakes means more nitpicking in return. And Josuke hasn't even commented on it yet.

The Sal-ad thing is way too shakey only the first three letters actually match up, and since we're dealing with another language here, that could mean a world of difference.
