Hmmm.... nice. I like the interplay between them, especially the way Daken gracefully steps out of a situation he doesn't think Johnny is ready for.
Which brings up a question:
If his name is Daken Akihiro, is it Day-Ken (as I've been pronouncing it) or Dah-Ken? I parse the latter as a Japanese pronunciation, the former as English. So which is it?
It'a Dah-ken. I was calling him Day-ken till I heard the Marvel editors speak at FanExpo 2010, and they all called him Dah-ken. Who'd have guessed? It took a little getting used to, but yes, it does sound more Japanese that way. Means "Mongrel".
Mongrel, huh?gryphons_lairJanuary 13 2011, 21:15:41 UTC
I'd say I was surprised he used that name for himself, except it makes perfect sense. He seems to positively revel in his mixed-blood status, or at least flaunt it at every opportunity.
