I've heard that a lot, but I don't quite get it. I wonder if it's true or a myth.
If Ryukishi planned since the beginning to name the witch after Dante's Beatrice, then there's no way this is true. Just go to the wiki, look for the divine comedy and switch to japanese. Ryukishi just made a copy and paste of the official transliteration of the name.
Else you need to imagine he started from the idea to call her Beatrix from the common english name, and then after a few researches he found out the Italian version and that that name was an important character of the Divine Comedy. But that sounds unlikely to me. If that's true then the association with the Divine Comedy happened by a mere chance.
Anyway does anyone know where this rumor come from? I've heard it was said in an interview, can someone link it?
