Once everyone finds out that she is, indeed, a member of the Four Heavenly Kings, they start to refer to her as "Kikuno." "Kikkuhno" is just a pseudoynm, it seems.
In any case, Yohshichi is just introduced as "the son of a relative," so we don't really know how exactly he's related. Some families, depending on how people are related to each other, have no problems with kids calling adults by their first names. If Yohshichi isn't close to Kikuno at all, I don't think it's too out of the ordinary for him to refer to her by her first name.
Though I will say; when you're dealing with someone else's family (like, say, Ash and Brock talking to Dawn's mom), it's almost always rude to refer to an elder by their first name.
Oh, I don't disagree with the "don't torture yourself by watching what you don't like" (I know all about that first hand via my website!). But, what people do with their free time is their business. And if Kairyu or anyone else wants to watch something and then complain about it on the Internet, then they have every right to do so as long as they obey the rules and aren't trolls about it. Neither you nor anyone else have any right to tell them that they can't.Quote:

Likewise, V Faction shouldn't read message board posts that he doesn't like and then complain about them. If you find that a user is annoying but isn't breaking any rules (and therefore can't be reported under the "Report Post" feature), then just put that person on your Ignore List. Problem solved.
You know... I'm at wits end here. I don't usually open my yapper regarding the dub discussion unless I want to make a point. I said it doesn't make sense to complain about the dub in a dub thread while intentionally watching the dub as a means to point out why it shouldn't be watched and I stand by that. I mean, you wouldn't do that for another thread, would you? And now it's moved on to stuff about opinions and ignoring said comments, which is precisely the reason why I tend to not say anything in the first place, because it goes no where.Quote:
