I didn't wanna post this in the main forum because it's too stupid, so I put it here. I know Stan originally used the name as a reference to Jason Voorhees (Jei-san), but after reading #104 (YES, I FOUND IT!) I think he used the name because his nickname was Ji (short for Jizonobu) and added an e in the middle because e stands for emissary (or evil). Any thoughts on this?

Unlikely, since this is feudal Japan. You wouldn't meet many people who were familiar with the letter "e"!

NOOO! A flaw in my brilliant theory! ARGH!!!!! Oh well.
