So how do you get “Minori” from 秋? Is the logic “autumn is when trees bear fruit”? EDIT: Apparently this is a real reading, but used more historically than nowadays. So it’s not quite like naming your kid 夏 with the reading サマー.

Asmodeus: “Is that a threat? You gonna impale me on that pompadour or something?”
