>>>"Why not"?

I do localization work. Consistency is important, especially since not everyone on this wiki uses English as a first languge.

Deciding what slang and translations to support on the 'official' pages is an important decision, to be sure, and it's doubly hard for a wiki where no one person can enforce every single page. If, like with Kaibokan == DE, it were a community decision, "We are CHOOSING to have any boss character named XYZ姫 be officially titled XYZ Hime," (even a moderator decision), stated publicly and consistently applied throughout the 'official' pages of the wiki, that would be one thing.

Yeah, a lot of us (myself included) use hime and oni instead of princess and demon: less keystrokes. But the slang that players use in their blogs and comments should not necessarily be the language of the official pages of the wiki.

Certainly, some new players will see XYZ Hime or Oni mentioned in comments and will wonder wtf we're talking about (assuming they've gotten this deep into the Anime/JGame/Otaku world without knowing either of those fairly common words). But they'll also see "Dysons" and "Ducks" and "Takoyaki" and "Hoppo" and "Wanko" and dozens of other slang words that are used by the community, and so they'll do a wiki search or look at the glossary and fairly quickly figure it out, probably from trivia sections or other comments. There's no reason to have it on a main list page, in parens, next to every single boss' name.
