>>2060998You really didn't notice the pun and FF reference until now?
The kanji for Ninomae is 一 which can also be read as ichi(1), but in this case is read as ni-no-mae.
For the term ni-no-mae, ni is the number of 2, no is a postpositional/joining particle, and mae means before.
In other words her name Ninomae means before 2, or 1.
On the other hand, Ina'nis means void or 0 in latin.
It's also worth noting that it's used in Sephiroth's theme and Ina is a big Final Fantasy fan so it's probably a reference to that too.
Ina'nis Ninomae is therefore equivalent to "0 before 2" or 0 1. Converted to an ordinary number it's just 1 which is the kanji for Ninomae.
Alternatively, Ninomae Ina'nis is the equivalent of "before 2 0", or 1 0.
In binary/base 2, 10 represents the number 2, read as ni.
She could therefore be called Ni-chan as a pun nickname, which would also work due to Ninomae being her last name and and Ni-chan being a shortened version of that.
Sadly many Takodachi just aren't smart enough to make this connection and refer to her simply as Ina-chan instead of the superior Ni-chan moniker she truly desires.
