Continuing thoughts on the politics of Kurogane's world...

In the official english translation of Volume 6, when Kurogane first sees the Oto version of Souma he demands 'You're not running with Amateresu, are you?!' Hyu has it as 'Don't tell me you're here with that Sun Goddess?!' which while suggesting that Kurogane doesn't much like his Empress, doesn't carry the political implications of Del Reys. (Be With You translates it as 'Don't tell me 'tente' is here as well' which doesn't really help...) Anyway, Del Rey's version is interesting as it suggests that there are factions within the government of Japan - that Tomoyo and her sister are at least slightly opposed, enough that if Souma was to accompany Amateresu that would be seen as a declaration of loyalty...

Could this be any more random?

You know, I still do a double take every time I see Ten-oh in colour. I went through the manga imagining his hair as kind of a soft blue/grey/purplish colour. And then I saw some of the artbook pictures and... He just doesn't seem the type of character for bright red hair.
