Who said "Venomania Event" exactly? <.< Doesn't that slightly contradict the idea that his crimes were forgotten by then? Bogaerts mentions it. Actually, googling the Japanese names brought up two baseball players so... *shrugs*

Yeah but it's not a big contradiction (and it was his "name was no longer spoken"). Venomania was surely in the history books, but leaving out the notion he was a demon and the like. He's probably just not as impactful or commonplace in conversation since the "fairy tale" and historical fact has been separated for him. If Clarith's aftermath was any indication, fear or hatred of him and his descendants might have diminished.

To be fair, this isn't mothy writing the short story so it may have been an oversight by the author.
