Darkshine is probably the one I feel strongest about behind Sweet Mask. Blackluster may be slightly more accurate but Blackshine is a perfectly acceptable translation too. "Shine" is a synonym for "luster". And "Dark" isn't much of difference from "Black". But "Blackshine" would work perfectly. The shine part is the most important part because of his catchphrase. If VIZ had used Blackshine I would have no problem it at all.

For the Cities and Classes, I like the fan version much more. S-Class and Z-City is how it would be commonly be said in English. S Class, A Class, etc... is what is always used in english anime/manga. And cities in real life are pretty much always 'X' City, like Mexico City, Atlantic City, Salt Lake City, etc... City Z and Class S just sound awkward. I don't know why VIZ decided to go against what every other anime/manga does and how people say it in english in general.

I'm fine with using Spring Mustachio.

For minor characters it's whichever is better. I like "Sitch" because it's a good localization. But I like "Chinner" over "Agoni" and "Muffintop" over "Zeimeet" because it's decent localization and no one will get the joke unless they use google translate. This is just more of VIZ's inconsistency with what they localize and how much of a name they translate.

And I'm not sure about these two because google translate isn't helping me, but if Beecake and Oldface are accurate localizations of Marugori and Fukegao then I definitely prefer the localizations. If a name is suppose to mean something and not just be a name, then it should be translated and localized. I also like Dr. Stench and Monier [Zeniru] (although Monier could use better localization).
