Ooh, I also like that Hazel character. There have been plenty of Sues so far this month, but few so traditional. Most people you've mentioned seem to try to avoid the exact litmus test questions while not fixing any problems and creating new ones, but there's a Sue I remember from my childhood. Listed off appearance and clothes, magic necklace, psychic empathy powers.
The Japanese seems to be nonsense. Oddly enough, 'shoukyaku' can mean "guest of honor" or "repayment" according to my dictionary, but I definitely can't find any readings of 'fire' or 'destruction' anywhere close. Not that being correct in their Japanese would improve their writing in any way.
