Hino Q&A continued (from last month):


 * We gradually found out about Orion, but why didn't Zhou or Shinjou explain it properly in the beginning to the members of IJ?
 * Due to their positions they needed to be careful about attracting attention
 * Where did Vladimir's picture of Yuriko and Asuto come from?
 * I think the Orion Foundation had someone hurry over to Inakunijima to copy the picture. The plan to make Asuto a disciple was to send a warning to Shinjou and wasn't something that was planned from the beginning
 * When did Shinjou begin calling himself "Shinjou Takuma"?
 * I think he began using the name after his spirit was broken as a player and decided to associate himself with soccer as a different person
 * Irina didn't seem to like Froy that much, but is she really his mother?
 * Yes, Bernard and Froy are both her children. However, Valentin and Irina's relationship began to worsen, Irina began to not be around at home that much, and Valentin eventually died. Bernard had both his parents as a child, and had a strong relationship with both of them as the older brother, but was imprinted by Irina that he wasn't able to disobey her
 * What was the idea behind having the first female last boss?
 * "Making the last boss a scary queen" was an idea I had from the beginning. The last bosses so far have all been old guys so I thought it'd be nice to have a beautiful enemy. Irina slapping Shinjou was part of the scenario, but the wall breaking was something the art staff did and I was surprised when I first saw it
 * What will happen to Irina?
 * Her crimes are big so I doubt she'd be able to make up for them easily
 * Why wasn't Shadow of Orion part of the FFI?
 * They are Orion's secret weapon so they were saved for an emergency. In addition to that, they were in the middle of development, so maybe Orion planned to show them off to the world in a big demonstration after the FFI
 * Why was "Artemis' Arrow" not a hissatsu but the revolutionary army's sentiment?
 * I originally planned to have the protagonist team be called "Artemis' Arrow", but I thought that was too serious and boring so I ended up calling them the "Zhao Jinyuns"
