On the Subject of Alternate Translations
Hello. While I appreciate much of the information you have been adding, along with correcting a few things, I do think that it's best to stick to the terms such as "Shizume City" and "Mihashira Tower"/"Usagi", rather than the alternate translations. I admit I am no expert when it comes to kanji, but, for the sake of simplicity, avoiding the sudden translation alternating may be for the best.AllAlongInGlass (talk) 23:41, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Hi~ It's not alternate translation. It's correcting a mistake. ;) For the sake of simplicity, I already avoided changing "Shizume City" to the more accurate "Shizume Ward ". Shizume is not the stage the story. It's just "part of" the stage, Tokyo. I don't understand how this misunderstanding started ('cause this isn't a problem in Japanese or Chinese fanbase), but I'll try to explain. *sweatdrop*

1. On page 3 of Official Glossary, Shizume is defined "the neighborhood which is Homra's base". This tells us 1) it's not a city, and 2) Shizume is Homra's and Homra's alone, not sharing with Blue or Gold Clans.

2. Ashinaka High School is 100% not in Shizume. On page 3 of Official Glossary it's clear stated that "Shizume isn't that far from school island". Hence Shizume and the school are 2 separate locations.

3. Here is  . Shizume is at the lower left. Nanakamado at left. Tsubaki-mon in center. Gate to Ashinaka at the lower right. All separate.

4. Although "Tokyo" isn't directly mentioned in anime, Scepter 4's lengthy official title starts with "Tokyo". The police department mentioned in anime is "Keishichō ", which is Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. (In anime they always say "this city", not Shizume City. The word "Shizume" is barely mentioned in anime.)

5. Unlike the vague "this city" in anime, they openly stated "Tokyo" in the manga K The First in almost every episode. Like "the blimp has been hovering over Tokyo for 50 years", and "civilian of the whole Tokyo will be killed in your Damocles Down", etc.

I know this may sound like ground-breaking news. But you can't hide this mistake forever. In the next project to be released, when the Red Clan isn't the spotlight, people will find out that Shizume isn't the world and question this wikia.Messier45 (talk) 02:13, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

I was not aware of this. Carry on.AllAlongInGlass (talk) 02:23, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for being so understanding~♪ *hugs* I'll go change the non-Shizume places to Tokyo then~♪ Messier45 (talk) 02:45, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
