Is her home really called "Flask", or is it "Frasco"? I seem to recall the second being the name of the stage in Isuka ... --Yar Kramer 21:45, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

It's Flask. "Flask" would be written out as フラスコ (fu-ra-su-ko) in Japanese. I think how it gets translated back into English depends on how well the translator can identify an English word from just the way it's spelled in katakana. I guess in this case, whoever translated it didn't quite see the connection and translated it as "Frasco".

By the way, I've changed the little bit about how long Moroha mode lasts, because it's different in Slash than it is in Isuka.RTL 18:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually in GGXX Slash it's named "Fresco" which makes more sense as it's a reference to herself as a homonculus as Frescoes are 'The art of painting on fresh, moist plaster with pigments dissolved in water.'

The official English release uses Frasco. That should be authoritative. (Personally I favored Flask, but what're you gonna do?) ShaleZero 23:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC) --Mimeblade 19:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Erasure

Checked A.B.A's movelist for both Slash and Isuka and found no move named "Erasure" (it is mentioned in the article as a reference to the band Erasure). Will someone please tell me where this info is taken from? ru:Ari

[edit] Possible references to Fullmetal Alchemist

I've been wondering this ever since I saw her sprites, she's even refered to as a Homonculus by Sol and also by Slayer in the Drama CD Night of Knives, one of her Overdrives has a Transmutation Circle, and her Destroy Attack features the famous "Dark Gate" that is shown in FMA. Just throwing that out there. Mimeblade 17:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Toshimichi Mori (the seiyuu for Paracelsus) is also the producer of the more recent Guilty Gear titles--68.100.218.63 09:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
