Pretty much wondering why they called her Asada to begin with.

burrito-san

Uh. Because it's a name.

Uh. Because it's a name.

So is "richard."  My point is that it is odd that that name was chosen without knowledge about other culture's usage of that name.

No need to be a smartass.

i'm not even being a smartass lol

[SWAT One]

i'm not even being a smartass lol

Because I perfectly well know it's a name, else they wouldn't use it and you said...

Uh. Because it's a name.

...in a rather sarcastic and disdainful manner to a rather light-intended partially-rhetorical question.

rookie, huh

Care to explain?

"it is odd that the name was chosen without knowledge etc etc"
No, it's not. Asada is an actual Japanese family name. Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be odd for it to be chosen because half of the people coming up with weird names in anime don't give a stuff what they mean. e.g. suda51 explicitly stated he chose the name "Travis Touchdown" for the protagonist of No More Heroes because it goddamn sounded cool.

suda51 explicitly stated he chose the name "Travis Touchdown" for the protagonist of No More Heroes because it goddamn sounded cool.

And he wasn't even quiet about it.

You raised my expectations way too high. That was kind of mediocre.
