However, it is worth noting that in several cultures the lily is a symbol of purity, a common theme in 'Magical Girl' anime is the concept of the purity and innocence of its lead heroes. The use of Hollyhock, Lily and Seed in the show is probably just a thematic matter emphasizing the parody elements by using stereoytpical "cute" or "girly" things like flowers.

But as Aoi's theme song, it does come off as someone just mixing up the flowers and screwing up the cross language translation.

にじよめ学園 ズキューーン葵 Name means "Rainbow Bride Academy Z-Cune Aoi". Z-Cune is a fancy way of writing Zukyuun, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a gunshot. Considering this is an anime that otaku like, Nijiyome might be a contraction for Nijigen Yome or "Two-dimensional Bride".

An anime that exists in the show Hikounin Sentai AkibaRanger.

Plot

Questionable English

Zukyuun as Z-Cune. Probably just a stylistic choice.

The use of "lily" in the song name. Aoi's name means "hollyhock". If it were "lily" it would be "yuri" in Japanese. These two flower species aren't related, so it is unusual that they would be confused together.

However, it is worth noting that in several cultures the lily is a symbol of purity, a common theme in 'Magical Girl' anime is the concept of the purity and innocence of its lead heroes. Aoi is the "heroic lily", in other words a pure heroine. The use of Hollyhock, Lily and Seed in the show is probably just a thematic matter emphasizing the parody elements by using stereoytpical "cute" or "girly" things like flowers.
