Man.  This is such great stuff for the FAQ.  Thanks TS!

If Tokimi sent Z back in time to re-live life on his home planet, one would tend to
think that Z would now be a normal person (as you stated).  Considering how things
go in K-sensei's universe, could he be someone known to us but by a different name

(if there are any clues in the doujinshi or novels)?

Again, more great stuff for me to get into the FAQ!  Thanks again TS!

If there are three Choushin, could there be three Counteractors as well?
