Magical Girl bullying a defenseless Mazoku - 2015, colorized
This artist really loves to draw dominant Momo. Not that I disagree. Luckily this isn't the watersports one.

I shipped Satsuki x Ryuko before I found out that they were sisters and was crushed when they revealed that.

That only make it better

Imagine you could fight these two like that, the same way you fight Red in Pokemon Gold.
Just these two standing on top of a mountain on a romantic date and the player feels like a third wheel lol

I found a bit hilarious that their japanese names are Touko and Mei

What are they gonna do if they don't? Mess with Kagura and Soyo-hime? Might as well try to find a cure for baldness or go to Laputa.

Marisa: Don't you dare say it...
Reimu: Ah... well... I can feel something. Definitely something. Just a little.

The Pokemon localization team's insistence on changing the names has always perplexed me. It seems like keeping them the same as the Japanese version would be a great way for kids in other countries to learn and normalize other cultures, but what do I know?

Touma is the worst part of Index and Railgun though. Boring generic protagonist.
Misaka is considerably better without him around. Honestly, all the spin-offs are better than Index.

If Pokemon had never been localized before the 2010s, we probably would see them keep the Japanese names. But back in the 1990s when they were first coming out in the West, there wasn't a track record of successful animes, mangas, and games that kept the Japanese cultural elements intact.

Oh, I am by no means denying that, I just love the lore details and the inner workings of the magical girl system almost as much as I love the yuri and I will rant about them at the drop of a hat.

Keep in mind that it was Americans doing the English localisation, not a Japanese team. "A great way for kids in other countries to learn about Japanese culture" isn't their job, or anywhere on their list of concerns. A translator's goal is more like "make something people in my country will enjoy so as many people as possible will buy it and I keep getting my paycheck", and part of that is usually making it more familiar to the target audience, suited for their tastes.
