I just listened to, and enjoyed, the latest Team Shikaragaki story. Those kids *do* seem to spend a lot of time at traveling fairs, don't they? Anyway, I thought that the story was one of the stronger TS stories. TK is just a great character. She's a real outsider, torn between the adolescent and adult worlds, and with a much more solid connection with the normal world than most of her superheroic counterparts. Maybe it's because she's a psychic, but she seems lot more reflective than most of her peers (including the older Union members we've seen).
I've also really enjoyed watching the story arc develop- I'm dying to know what happened to Tam at the Supreme Court. Seems like one of these days the shit is really going to hit the fan for the Union.
Anyway, a couple of ignorant questions: the TS members all seem to have normal names (or nicknames, I guess) rather than proper superhero names: Tam Suji, Kitty, TK, etc. rather than Megaton or Spoonbender. I assume that these are Union-given pseudonyms and not the kids' real names, right? And does giving characters "real" names represent a manga/anime superhero naming convention?
