Yes. Maybe not under that form, though.

Based on a Basiscape member tweet, I changed "Otaku" to "Ota City", which looks as the official English name of the location (source: official).

It feels like that the overall translation also requires some refinement. For the boss names, I think we should leave them in Romaji (I can't find definitive sources, but according to wikipedia page, they were apparently kept in romaji in the localized version) and for 1-01 and 1-19, maybe we should use "Scarlet Lotus Team" instead.

Translating 紅蓮隊 (Gurentai) as "Scarlet Lotus Team", while technically correct (although, it can also be translated as "Crimson Squad"), loses the double meaning since the word is supposed to be a play on 愚連隊 (also pronounced Gurentai), which means hooligans. Personally I would just leave "Gurentai" in Japanese.
