Thank you very much for your thoughts on my Devil Fruit; it's much appreciated. I'm rather proud of the effort and work I put into it myself, and for realizing the myriad of options I could take advantage of in my writing.

The idea of it correlating to the Numa Numa no Mi in the same manner the Yuki Yuki no Mi does to the Hie Hie no Mi is something I never considered before, but it's a thought I'm glad you brought up. I have absolutely no problems with that sort of thing since it could further flesh out the fruit in an interesting way. You have my thanks again for bringing that up. :)

As for the name, I take full credit for the problem there. While I do fine at pronouncing Japanese words, I still fail horribly at understanding the language. Back in the day, I used some shoddy online translators to get this page's name, and it was only shortly afterward did I realize Bon Clay's name was spelled "Bon Kurei." I bring this up because I still at times feel I should have named this fruit the Kurei Kurei no Mi instead. As for why the name hasn't changed despite the better alternatives, it's because I was advised years ago to leave the name be since no one else here was aware of the syllable issue at the time. Now that the name's stuck for so many years, I worry there may be some backlash to changing the name of a popular and historic fruit on the site.

However, if no backlash happens as I fear, I'll definitely consider changing the name to better fit the naming conventions of Devil Fruits in One Piece. Though I will admit I'll terribly miss calling this fruit the Nendo Nendo no Mi, considering I'm the sentimental type and have had many wonderful memories tied to the fruit and its name.
