Well I was more referring to how the Japanese emperor is referred to in Japan as "Reigning Emperor" or "Majesty" and not by their personal names (and not their posthumous names either.)

You know more of Japanese emperors than I... this stuff is not easy if you don't know where to look. That said, Silestro isn't japanese, and he wasn't selected for his knowledge of Japan. He's here because he has a very useful skillset for defending a submarine against teleporting demons. This is a fairly divergent japan.

"Yeah, it's all over the walls now. Or hopefully in a bucket. If you're not sure, I guess it's possible that we have a second shapeshifter; we'll need to keep our eyes peeled."

"Please do keep your eyes open. And I've heard you need to be thorough on these things, but that's something else. A bucket."

"Well, as long as they don't take the rest of the submarine and pound us with reinforcements until they get in."

"That could happen... but it could happen anywhere, and they're very good at surrounding people"

"I guess that isn't an option for us?"

"It is, if we want to signal where we are to the demon leadership and then hope Corco has someone to move us. I personally can't do it."
