Its up to you, you can create a new thread, or just ask here. Either is fine. Just try not to make one thread for every query.
God!!
You need not forgive me.
For those I love,
The violence brought about by sinful men
Shall now be used once more.
If you were created to save this world,
If there is a single shred of hope left for the future of mankind,
I am very sorry, but, please begone!

Actually it is Satan Jacob, but I like Maou better so whenever I have the chance I use 'Maou' instead of Jacob. (Jacob----->his official name)

I once saw it somewhere, can't remember where though (the katakana indicate that it is Jacob and I went huh?) so I am asking which one should I use since Jacob sounds very awkward.

I prefer Maou Satan. In the anime, they also use Maou Satan or, in Earth, Sadou Maou.

You should use what they use.

If Maou is called Jacob on that line then use that. If he's called Sadao in that scene then use Sadao.

Considering that Jacob is his real name while Sadao is his Earth name.

Satan Jacob is Maou's full name I believe.
However extremely few people he knows knew about the Jacob part.
They only know him by the name Satan.

Okay, one more question. Should I retained the original noun used or do I replace it with a pronoun as I seem fit. Plus, sry for my crappy english since I tend to put everything in past tense ( a habit of mine ).

Er, I got stuck with the naming of this word (from CH source) 'yuansu' which is supposed to be the place Maou and Alsiel were founded by the polices. Any ideas guys?
P.S. I have searched the word in google already, but to no avail I can't find anything worthy of note.

(need advice on which part required what tense Ex.the character's monologue or what, etc.)

I mean the text in common, and for the name part it does exist as a shopping district in Taiwan but why the heck it is Taiwan since this is based in Japan (the CH source also didn't mention where it is too).

The text mentions that they were found on the planet "Earth" in the country "Japan" in the city "Tokyo" near the "train" station of "Harajuku", if that helps you.
