Talk:Team Ikari Warriors

Ralf Jones was the team leader from '97, 03, XI, XIII, XIV, and XV of the team, and is the 2nd highest ranking military member behind Heidern, being a colonel(though Heidern typically does give the team the orders to enter, of course, making him the big cheese in most instances, barring '97.) Leona was never a full, official leader that any source material showed-the only thing that could even remotely come close was that in '96, Heidern led the team from the background, giving all the orders himself, and simply said "If you hear from her, it's from me," passing down orders rather than giving her actual leadership-she barely even spoke in those days. Heidern was basically the leader for '94-'96, the latter behind the scenes, and for NESTS saga(leading the team from the ground in '01.) Ralf, in the '97 team story, worked with the team to get suspended so they could enter the tournament of their own volition(Heidern knew what they were up to.) The leadership for this team gets extremely muddy among fans for some reason despite Ralf's rank-it could be the less-than-perfect translations of the 90s source material that caused this, but further collecting of the book source materials and getting them translated clear things up. (Ikari '99's ending is a notorious victim of the bad translations of the yesteryear.)
