Leona: Whoa! It’s a kid?
Ben: How did you get down here?
Tai: I’m not a kid! *growls and walks closer to Ben* …and neither are you… anymore. Benjamin? Is that you?
Ben: Yeah but…
Leona: You know this kid?
Ben: No… I don’t!
Leona: How much interdimensional traveling have you been doing?! Cecil’s gonna be maaaad!
Tai: What do you mean you don’t… oh. Wait. I look different. *messes with his hair* It’s me. It’s TsuMe!
Ben: Sue who?
Tai: TsuMeTai!
Ben: Why would I want to sue a tie?
And I’ll say it again… happy birthday to Ben (was March 2).

Heh.
Tsu: I’m not a kid! …and neither are you… anymore.
Leona: Coulda fooled me!
Come on. She’s totally thinking that. XD
Happy Birthday, Ben! Hope it’s a good one despite the current comic events!

Either I have a gaping hole in my memory, or Ben does. Why doesnt he recognize the name once TsuMe says who he is?
Give Luv:

‘cuz Ben, at this point in time, doesn’t remember what happened in Zot. I hope I’m remembering that correctly. ^^;
Give Luv:

You are correct. Ben’s memory of Zot is pretty borked so he wouldn’t remember Tai or Kip as they were. At least, not yet.

Happy birthday, Ben!
And isn’t horrible when someone you met in the past says “hi!” and you don’t even remember him/her?
Give Luv:

Wait, I thought his name was pronounced Sue-Mey, but is it Sue-Mee, or is Ben just being both deaf and naive? (Not that I don’t love him anyways. ^^)
Remember Kip? He was the nice one. Remember me? I was that guy who was no fun at all!
(Unless things develop differently in Shimmer towards the end…)

You’re technically right if you base it off of a true Japanese pronunciation. But seeing that it’s not true Japanese and the author messes up pronunciation… not to mention Tai probably has some sort of accent… I tend to say “Sue-Mee”.
So sue me. Xp

Sue me…
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Well, that answers my question about how to pronounce Tai’s name. Gotta love pronunciation.

Love Tai’s “I’m not a kid” face. XD He looks very… um… grr-ish.
This should get interesting soon. I wonder if Ben will ever remember Zot… or at least the people there.

Some ties should be sued…

I totally agree with that.

Heh, I love Tsu’s puzzled face- especially the eyebrows. Poor Tsu doesn’t realize yet that Ben doesn’t remember him at all, instead of just not recognizing him. Also, I find the last panel funny since Ben would usually tower over Tsu.
I agree with Brr- some ties should definitely be sued…

wait…how old does Tsu look for leona to call him ‘kid’?
does Ben even know Tsu’s real name when we all still thought his name was TsuYa? even Kip didn’t know.
Give Luv:

You’re right. Ben doesn’t know “TsuYa” as one of Tai’s names.

And here I thought it was pronounced T’Sue Me Tay.

Gawahahahahaha! I was laughing for like five minutes. XD
I pronounce it Tsu mey tie… Tsume means claw or talon. That’s where I thought it came from.
I also love Tsu’s confused face. XD
HAAAA! Sue a tie. Poor Ben. Tsu isn’t going to like that…
Let the confusion begin!
Give Luv:

TsuMe does mean claw or talon, but his actual name came from the full “TsuMeTai” which means cold or cold-hearted.

Ah, thanks for the info!

My pleasure! I searched many dictionaries to find the right name that would start with “Tsu” for him when I developed him in Shimmer.
I was not aware of other anime characters named “Tsume” at the time.

I didn’t know it was used in anime a lot?

Leona calling anyone, let alone Tai, a kid is just ironic.

okay one: theres a Tsume in Wolfs Rain, two: i always pronounced it Sue-may-tie…but it sounds different in my head so…and poor Tai! “im here to ave you!” “you’re a kid” “i dont know you”…just take the help and run with it ask questions later…
