Princess Resurrection/Headscratchers

• While I understand that phoenixes obviously don't age the same way most of us do, at what age are Hime and her siblings and relatives considered adults? Hime is 17 years which means Emil and Severin had to at least be 18 and Sylvia and Gilliam have to at least be in their early 20's.
  • As is later revealed, immature royals need an adult Phoenix to become adults themselves. Otherwise they can grow up and even become old, as was seen with one surviving sibling from the previous indecisive round of royal fighting.

• The artist is apperently a foreign vehicle otaku. In the battle between Emile and his brother, the Afterlife Express is pulled by a General Motors Electro-Motive Division E8 passenger locomotive (never sold outside of North America) and is being pursued by a WWII German railway gun. In a recent two-part story, Hime and company find themselves in a little village with a Chevrolet pickup truck and an American-style patrol car (with an American-style sheriff in it) within driving distance of Hime's mansion.
