Curious: I know that "Kurenai" has something to do with "China" but what does "Misuzu" mean?

i did a quick google search and this came up. pretty interesting.

Her name (紅 美鈴) in Chinese is read as “Hong Meiling”, while in Japanese kanji is read as “Kurenai Misuzu”.

I assume the joke here is that Terminator Sakuya is reading or translating the name from japanese into english and not from chinese.

B:114?!

No wonder Terminator Sakuya got mad.

Ah another Sakuya boob joke. So funny.

Wasn't the Kurenai Misuzu joke from the "Sakuya Cleaning Stop" video?

No, that's just one use of the meme. It started up when Embodiment of Scarlet Devil came out; the game includes no pronunciation guide for Meiling's name, so fans on 2ch debated how to say it.

Indeed. And then someone suggested that they just call her "china" and that continued even after the proper pronunciation was released.
