@ssb Not from the provided clip, no, I don't think. I downloaded an episode of the anime to figure out which one it was. I'm not sure how Chocolate figured it out from the clip.

I should really be careful what I say, too many questions are starting with "Darius Jahandarie says/said"! :D I think this is a good question though, it certainly made me think more about it.

As mentioned in chat, it's pretty interesting to me that the suffixes are all different morphemes, yet they all share the odd -aimasu inflection. But these do seem to be the legitimate origins, which does answer my question. Thanks!
