Monarking: I do not expect a reward when I save lives.
Thunderyu is the only one of them that has referred to the others by those names, which aren't actually names so much as descriptions: you'll notice they weren't capitalized when Thunderyu used them. The point is they don't know one another's names, but have mental images of the others. If the others were to label Thunderyu in a similar way, it might be "the yellow one" or "the golden one" or "the one with the gems", but likewise, there is nothing to say that Volcaryu and Polaryu just are the fiery one and the icy one; they could just as well be the red one and the blue one, or the dark one and the white one, or the one with the plates and the one with the crystals.
