First Person Pronoun Usage

The First Person Pronoun (一人称) usage means on how every character refers to themselves. The existence of such usage comes from the fact the series' original language is Japanese and it possesses an enormous amount of pronouns if compared to other languages, not only for the First Person, but also for the Second and Third Persons. Thus, how characters use the pronouns of the Japanese language displays an additional layer to the complexity of their personalities. As mentioned before, being this an almost exclusive feature of the Japanese language, this is completely lost when translated into other languages.
