I'd rather think that the name is based on her last name. I mean, they did say that she morned over "King Zeal's" death.

As for Magus, it's not a title. Atleast not to him. To him, it is his new alias name. It's Magus to us if we consider it as "Wise man" etc.

I agree with you.

"Demon King" sure sounds like a title though...I mean, even if it's used as a name, I don't think that takes away from the fact that it's also a title...

In Japanese, they do like to use puns. Like Janus was simply "Dark Energy" and then he turns into "Demon King". Even Lynx was "Demon Cat".

Hey, I'm not the one who proposed Crono was immaculately conceived by the Entity. Someone else did that.


Xathael. He proposed many things, that made sense in the proper frame of reference.

I remembered Yama being demon Oo.

Anyway, It wasn't Janus but it was Jaki.

Queen Zeal is definately shorter for "The Queen of Zeal" just like "The Queen of England" whom we could call Queen England (although we know her name) or King Spain.

I stand corrected. Oh yeah, and Tsukuyomi means "moon" (thats Harle).

no, Tsuki means moon. Tsukuyomi is another word entirely, talking about the Moon's Phases. But I think you may have meant Tsukuyami, which means Dark Moon, which is Harle.

Actually, the Missing Piece book calls Harle "Tukuyomi". Weird.

I guess Tsukuyami makes better sence. Japanese is such a complicated language. But I LOVE IT! Like is it getsu or nichi yobi which is moon day? XD And the Kanji for it looks funny XD

Hey Aura, what does the ki and ku and Tsuki and Tsuku make such a difference? Or is it the Yami/Yomi part?

Ki and Ku are female and male terms in Japanese, just like La and Lo (I think?) in Spanish or French. The same goes for Yami and Yomi. Although, if we're talking about Harle herself, it'd be Yomi, since Yomi is female, but the moon is sometimes referred to as male because of he Man in the Moon myth, hence the Yami. (Although tradition has referred to the Moon as female because it's associated with a goddess, but what with foreigners sharing their ideas and crap >_> bugger off.)
