Japanese Ranguage	comment	Serf-demonstlating velsion hele. Where a joke is made about pronouncing "Rs" and "Ls" incorrectly in Japanese, or other pronunciations. When this trope is used, the letters are often reversed where the sounds they are making are not ones that would cause that problem—e.g. "R" (when pronounced "are") being replaced with "L", when a long "ah" sound would be more likely. The above is a bit extreme, but there is some truth to this: Japanese has neither the English R nor the English L — it has a sound that might be best described as a combination between an R and L,note This sound does exist in several dialects of English: it's the alveolar tap used to make the quick "t" or "d" sounds in words like "better" or "rider" in North American or Australian accents; and certain Scottish accents may pronounce R with this sound. The way in which this sound is pronounced can best be described as a "flicked R", as it requires one to rapidly flick the tongue off the roof of the mouth while pronouncing an "R" sound—think of trying to say "Prince of Prussia" but actually saying "Pdince of Pdussia". leaning a bit more towards "l", if not for the incredible variation it sees in various dialects of Japanese. So, a native Japanese speaker who's not fluent in English can have difficulty telling when to use an R or an L, or will simply use their native R/L sound (which quite often sounds like the wrong letter to an English native) or an L in all cases. The biggest hurdle for Japanese natives is often making the tongue movements necessary for a sound that simply doesn't exist in their native language (equivalent foreign phonemes that English speakers struggle with are things like French "r",note A uvular trill made with the back of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, somewhat like a rasped "g" or Welsh "ll" note A lateral fricative made by pressing the tongue against the palate and hissing air past the sides of it). The same is true of Korean — it has Rs and Ls, but these are different allophones of the same phoneme, which is pronounced as an L when it's at the end of a syllable (which doesn't happen in Japanese). Exactly why the creators of Romanization decided to just use Rs for everything is a mystery for the ages. There are other "pairs" in Japanese like this, such as V and B, H and F, etc. Likewise, there's no sound for "th" in Japanese, so S sounds are used instead. Unsurprisingly, this is a big hurdle for Japanese natives learning English; e.g., "thunder" is often written and pronounced "sanda", "sander", "sunder", etc. However, this particular example rarely occurs (as a mistake). The Japanese L/R can also occasionally sound to English-speakers like a D (specifically, the "tap" that replaces unstressed /t/ and /d/ in North American and Australian English), but not much seems to be made of this in media.note Another thing that doesn't show up much in media is the Japanese tendency to add additional vowels to words. The Japanese language is made up of "mora", each of which consists of either a vowel on it's own ("a"), a consonant followed by a vowel ("wa"), or the letter "n" by itself. An english word like "bet" will come across as "beto" or the like, since "t" can't exist on its own in Japanese. (This incidentally makes the word "Godzilla" impossible, since the "d" sound can't be directly followed by the "z" sound. "Godzilla" also fails because Japanese doesn't have that particular "i" vowel (the romanization of "i" is pronounced like the "i" in "machine"), nor does it have the "uh" sound which is represented here by an "a". The orginal name of the creature is actually "Gojira".) Attempts at Japanese-style mispronunciations are often themselves a mispronunciation! Japanâ€™s unique set of pronouns (which vary not just on who they refer to, but in terms of the formality of a given situation) also often face issues in translation - while equivalents to â€˜Iâ€™, â€˜youâ€™ and â€˜they/themâ€™ exist, gendered pronouns are generally used very little, if at all, with referring to someone by their name in lieu of their pronoun being much more widespread. Furthermore, unlike in English, where pronouns are often a grammatical requirement, Japanâ€™s use of honorifics means that this is not the case, and a sentence can be written without pronouns whatsoever and still be completely understandable. The issue arises when machine translation attempts to translate a passage into English, with its rigid grammatical requirement and set of gendered pronouns, often resulting in the text switching wildly between the personal pronoun and a slew of gendered ones. In the malformed translation, a person or even an object may change gender several times! For example, a translator may come up with something like â€œI like [name] because he is very kind. She always gives me a gift on my birthday.â€� Also applied to other Asians — even if the accent doesn't fit,note Though Chinese from certain regions are prone to r/l mistakes as well; in fact, the situation is the opposite in Cantonese, which has the L sound but not the R sound. A Cantonese speaker may tend to pronounce English "sorry" as "sorly", or "reddit" as "weddit." or with exaggerated accents of their own. Closely related to Inconsistent Spelling. Often used as part of Asian Speekee Engrish or Intentional Engrish for Funny. And, of course, one must be careful talking about this or invoking it deliberately, as doing so can come across as intensely racist. (Which it is, fundamentally.) This sort of problem can occur in non-Asian languages as well. In Spanish, both "V" and "B" are pronounced like the English "B" (except between vowels, in which case there can be a sort of subtle cross between the two that doesn't exist in English — and that most Spaniards eschew anyway as soon as they leave kindergarten). It goes to the extent that many native Spanish speakers have a hard time differentiating between the two in their own language, and this can become a trouble when speaking English. Curiously, Japanese also has this exact issue in addition to the L/R thing. Also, Arabs struggle to pronounce "P" and "V", replacing them with "B" and "F" respectively — see more on Arab Beoble Talk. Central and Eastern European languages can have a similar problem with "V" and "W" — see Vampire Vords. Generally it's an honest mistake; the humor comes from onlookers. Words in katakana are spelled phonetically with a set of standard characters which ignore the original non-phonetic spelling. When the word in katakana is transliterated normally, it may be unrecognizable. The translator must have a good understanding of how the word is spelled in both katakana and the original spelling. This becomes especially difficult with completely made up words, leaving the translator to interpret the correct spelling of a word that may have no correct spelling (or be vaguely similar to an existing word). Alternatively, they can pray an official transliteration appears eventually. Usually it does, but not always! Sometimes not for years even for major works (Transformers has this problem), and basically never for many smaller works (such as obscure one-off OVAs). This can result in the interpretation ending up totally different from what was intended. When a Japanese character can speak English perfectly, but talks like this for the reason of Obfuscating Stupidity and/or for amusement, it is Elective Broken Language. Due to the way this trope uses stereotypes and accents for comedy, No Real Life Examples, Please!

This is related to the conspiracy having edited information to the point of stripping away whole letters in the alphabet so people can't think about it. Of course, the characters are all in-universe speaking American English... In a strange aversion for Distanced from Current Events reasons, Kojima confirmed that the spelling/writing of Raiden's name was changed at the last minute from kana to kanji so that this would not transliterate his name into (bin) Laden, as the game was released shortly after September 11, 2001. Hideo Kojima was very nervous about this as the story (coincidentally) involved terrorists attacking New York. There is a credit for "Viblation effects" in the opening credits. Of the English version. Of both the Tanker and Plant chapters. And this wasn't fixed in the Updated Re-release either. Fortune's voice actress's name is misspelled in both the credits and Boss Subtitles as "Maula Gale" rather than "Maura Gale". Olga and Sergei Gurlukovich were probably supposed to be Gorkavich, a real Russian name. Agness Kaku's unedited translation used "Gorkavich", but it was changed afterwards to fit with the reference in the previous entry.

My Goddess: This trope, combined with the Japanese confusion between "B" and "V", led to Verdandi/Verthandi becoming Belldandy from the original Japanese to English. Belldandy, or more appropriately, Berudandi, is the closest Japanese can get in regards to a phonetic spelling of the Norn's name in Japanese kana.*VerÃ°andi can be anglicized as either Verdandi or Verthandi. Throw in the aforementioned lack of distinction for R/L and B/V sounds among Japanese speakers, and it's easy to see how with the former spelling morphed into Belldandy. Considering when the series first started, both Fujishima and various translators let the error stand, since that's how fans knew the name. The Scandinavian translations get the various names of the deities correct. It should also be noted that the translators started getting the names correct for new deities and such over the course of the series.

Her nickname was originally Larry - the author wanted a name that sounded exotic and foreign, so he picked the name "Larry", not realising it was a male name. When the series was translated into English, the Ls and Rs were flipped to make it Rally, which fits as she's into cars. However, Kenichi Sonoda still insists that it's Larry (he corrected a fan at a convention once, saying "It's Larry, not Rally"). Larry is also the name of her father, so it's possible she took the name from him and the author knew what he was doing all along.

Japanese Ranguage / int_33acebd8	comment	An interesting example exists in Guilty Gear, where the special blocking technique that avoids chip damage but uses up the super bar can be transliterated as Faultless Defense or Fortress Defense, both of which describe the technique accurately. Also, a variant of a Lag Cancel move that requires super bar energy can be either False Roman Cancel (False because it resembles the real one but uses half as much energy) or Force Roman Cancel (an FRC can always be used, even if your attack misses, while a regular RC can only be used if you make contact). Arc System Works apparently likes puns based on this trope, considering that BlazBlue can be read as "Blaze Blue" or "Brave Blue" from the kana.

Japanese Ranguage / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: The character Krillin is named Kuririnnote It's a portmanteau between kuri - chestnuts - and Shaolin in the original Japanese version and even the official English manga. The official transliteration from Japan is "Klilyn"; for a time in the anime, he wore a baseball cap with "Kulilyn" printed on it. Similarly, Buruma; ("Bloomer", to go with the underwear Theme Naming present in the Briefs family) is romanized as "Bulma", though this might have been done for the obvious reason. Her first appearance has her wear a shirt with "BULMA" in big letters across the chest, cementing that translation more or less for all time. Vegeta's daughter Bura (Bra) became Bulla, likely for the same obvious reason. Also, Vegeta's Garlic Gun became "Gallick Gun" in the English dub. In the anime, Piccolo's name appears as "Piccoro" on Dr. Gero's interface. And, of course, there's Shenron, the dragon of the titular Dragon Balls. Or as his name is pronounced in Chinese, Shenlong.

Japanese Ranguage / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: This is the cause of the eternal Aeris/Aerith argument - "th" is not a sound in Japanese, so it gets rendered as "su" in katakana, which was mistranslated as an "s". Square Enix have repeatedly said that it was always meant to be Aerith, since it's supposed to sound like "Earth" (and early promotional artwork of the character was labelled "Erith"). Regardless, there are still people who will vehemently insist that it's Aeris. Nibelheim is a pun on Niflheim, one of many references in the game to Norse mythology (the "f" in the word is pronounced like a "v", and "b" and "v" are often confused in Japanese). However, 'nibel' is also similar to 'nebula', the Latin word for 'Cloud', so it also loosely translates as "Cloud('s) home". Helletic Hojo is pretty clearly meant to be Heretic Hojo. A few enemy names were mangled in this way too, Cokatolis (Cockatrice) and Allemagne (Ahriman) being just some examples.

Japanese Ranguage / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: Multiple characters in the game have names that are much better puns in English. Bloody Brad in Metal Gear is a much funnier sounding name in Japanese phonation - Buraadi Buraado. A point in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is that Big Boss is going by "Vic Boss". In Japanese, biggu to bikku is much closer-sounding, and "vic" as a shorthand for "victory" is commonly understood. In English it's contrived and also nonsensical. Made even more strange by the fact that one of the phrases the player can have Snake say in battle is "VIC VOSS" (which in Japan is just a slightly different pronunciation of the same sound). The main heroine in the MSX version of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is named "Horry". Later releases of the game spells it "Holly", but not before the "Horry" spelling showed up in the Previous Operations text-only recap of MG2 in Metal Gear Solid. Speaking of which... Metal Gear Solid: Otacon notes that REX was a joint venture with Rivermore National Labs, while this might be a Bland-Name Product, it is more likely a mistranslation of Livermore National Laboratory. This is backed up by fact that Otacon mentions the use of NOVA and NIF lasers, both projects done by Livermore National Labs. During development, the character Deepthroat was known in the script as 'Deep Slaught' due to mistransliteration of the kana. This did eventually get fixed before the game came out. The Kaiju parody giant Genome Soldier from the Integral/VR Missions expansion pack and Updated Re-release is called "Genola". This was probably supposed to be 'Genora', as '-ra' or '-rah' is used as a slightly cheesy suffix for giant monster names in Tokusatsu. The Japanese version of the game, Revolver Ocelot's name is spelled "OCEROT" on his lifebar. Ocelot's nickname of "Shalashaska" was a mistransliteration of sharashka from Russian to Japanese to English, a kind of pre-1950s Soviet labour camp for scientists. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain attempts to salvage this by explaining that the word sharashka was linked to the word shaska meaning saber. It still doesn't explain how the 'l' got in there. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: An interesting In-Universe plot point/Genius Bonus use of this - the name of the Government Conspiracy, "La Li Lu Le Lo", is based around the Japanese syllabary - Japanese phonemes are listed in 'a i u e o' order and the Japanese have no letter 'l', meaning that the organisation is named after letters that could but don't exist. This is related to the conspiracy having edited information to the point of stripping away whole letters in the alphabet so people can't think about it. Of course, the characters are all in-universe speaking American English... In a strange aversion for Distanced from Current Events reasons, Kojima confirmed that the spelling/writing of Raiden's name was changed at the last minute from kana to kanji so that this would not transliterate his name into (bin) Laden, as the game was released shortly after September 11, 2001. Hideo Kojima was very nervous about this as the story (coincidentally) involved terrorists attacking New York. There is a credit for "Viblation effects" in the opening credits. Of the English version. Of both the Tanker and Plant chapters. And this wasn't fixed in the Updated Re-release either. Fortune's voice actress's name is misspelled in both the credits and Boss Subtitles as "Maula Gale" rather than "Maura Gale". Olga and Sergei Gurlukovich were probably supposed to be Gorkavich, a real Russian name. Agness Kaku's unedited translation used "Gorkavich", but it was changed afterwards to fit with the reference in the previous entry. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, one of The Boss's credits as "the Mother of Special Forces" is that she was one of the reasons for the formation of "Rayforce". The real-world organisation is called Layforce. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots did a cross promotion with Assassin's Creed in which Altair's costume could be unlocked for Snake. The trailer announcing this ended with Hideo Kojima saying "Did you rike it?" in a hilariously thick phonetic accent, which the Internet leapt on for YouTube Poops and other such injokes. Noticeably averted in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, in which Kojima's Author Avatar says "Snake, what took you so long?" with an accented but still clear 'l'. Teliko's unusual name in Metal Gear Ac!d seems to be an attempt at an in-universe version of this - her birth name is actually the ordinary (if old-fashioned) Japanese woman's name "Teruko", which she supposedly disliked. However, when joining SWAT her name was misspelled 'Teliko' on her application form, which she decided to keep. Never mind that the mixup isn't between '-ru' and '-li' and that Teliko would have been writing her name in English characters anyway...

He gets almost found out at one point, being asked, "Are you sure you're Japanese?" To which he replied, "Of course. Didn't you notice I'm reversing my Rs and Ls?" As a matter of fact, the real Pappy Boyington did speak passable Japanese. He used this for entertainment during his time as a POW, taking advantage of the fact that few of the camp guards spoke any English. Boyington would approach a guard, smile, and compliment him profusely in Japanese. The guard would smile and thank him. Boyington would then switch to English, maintaining his smile and ass-kissing tone while insulting the living shit out of the oblivious guard (subjects included, but were not limited to, homosexuality, bestiality, questionable parentage, and who may or may not have fucked the guard's mother), who would continue to smile, nod, and thank him, to the endless amusement of the American and Australian prisoners.

"Reby" would be a more natural shortening of "Rebecca," but "Revy" is the official transliteration for some reason. "Levy" also crops up in some transliterations. That aside, since it's originally a Hebrew name anyway, it can be safely spelled Revecca too; the Hebrew letter for the 'b' sound is also one of the Hebrew letters for 'v', and the original Hebrew name was Rivkah.

Moblin has been spelled Molblin and Mobrin in some media. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Malon could be either Malon or Maron, but the localization goes with Malon (probably to keep players from confusing her for Marin from Link's Awakening). The fire-breathing dragon boss's name was translated as Barba in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Volvagia in Ocarina of Time. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild makes the V/B distinction a canonical issue native Hylian speakers have with pronouncing various Gerudo words. Considering the traditional Gerudo greetings all have v's in them, it quickly becomes a running gag, complete with native Gerudo speakers coaching people having trouble with it to bite their lower lip as they pronounce the words.

The mistranslation seems to have stuck, since it does sound appropriately exotic for the not-at-all-mundane character in question. A similar L/R and B/V mishap happened with one of the four Archfiends: the female wind-based member is supposed to be named Barbariccia, but as with the other three, the reference to The Divine Comedy was initially Lost in Translation, so she ended up being named "Valvalis" in the SNES version (due to the strict 8-character limit for enemy names) and "Valvalicia" in the PS1 version. It wasn't until the GBA version that this was finally corrected from there on out.

Japanese Ranguage / int_86814cd2	comment	Believe it or not, Zidane of Final Fantasy IX was a result of this. His name is written Jitan in katakana, and was meant to be Gitan (pronounced roughly "ZHEE-tahn" with a nasal sound), a French word meaning "gypsy", which matches up with his last name being Tribal - a tribal gypsy, get it? However, since "zi" is often written and pronounced "ji" in katakana, the translators mistook his name for the name of a French football (soccer) player. A few references to older Final Fantasy games are mangled in this way. Marilith (the fiend from the original Final Fantasy is mistranslated as Maliris. Gurgu Volcano became Mount Gulug (spelled "Mount Gulg" in initial translations of the first game). There are two names that are actually not examples of this trope, despite everyone thinking they are - Limit Glove (Quina's Blu Mag spell) and Valia Pira (a boss). People assume these names were supposed to be Limit Globe and Barrier Pillar respectively, which make sense - the attack looks like a globe, and the boss is a pillar that uses barriers. However, the katakana for these names deliberately uses the "vu" katakana (a special katakana used only for foreign words) - they write them as ãƒªãƒŸãƒƒãƒˆã‚°ãƒãƒ¼ãƒ´ (Rimitto GurÅ�vu) and ãƒ´ã‚¡ãƒªã‚¢ï½¥ãƒ”ãƒ© (Variaï½¥Pira) respectively, whereas Limit Globe would be ãƒªãƒŸãƒƒãƒˆã‚°ãƒãƒ¼ãƒ– (Rimitto GurÅ�bu) and Barrier Pillar would be ãƒ�ãƒªã‚¢ï½¥ãƒ”ãƒ©ãƒ¼ (Baria PirÄ� - also note the long "a" sound in "PirÄ�"). In the first case at least, the globe-like attack animation was most likely intended as a pun on the attack name, not as an indication of how to spell it. Freya's long-lost love, Sir Fratley, is supposed to be named Flatley, a reference to Michael Flatley, the famous step-dancer known for the Riverdance. This is backed up by the sandstorm-strengthening ritual in Cleyra being very Riverdance-esque. Of course, since the Burmecians/Cleyrans are anthropomorphic rats/mice, one could see him being named Fratley as a case of A Lizard Named "Liz" instead. Some foreign translations, like the French one, spell Vivi's name as Bibi.

Japanese Ranguage / int_8dd8ec81	comment	Sailor Moon occasionally had this problem, usually due to translation errors. Queen Metaria is the most famous example - Word of God is it's "Metaria", which is a Latin word meaning roughly "sealed", and it's spelled that way in the title card of one of the episodes of Sailor Moon Crystal. However, all official translations and most fan translations mistake it as a reference to metal (mainly because many other villains in the series have names referencing metal), and spell it Metalia or Metallia. (Later reprints of the manga used the spelling "Metaria", on Naoko's insistence.) There's also an alarming number of people who spell Queen Serenity's name as Queen Selenity - she does at one point say that she is an incarnation of the Greek goddess Selene, but "Serenity" is actually a word, as well as a reference to a lunar landmark, the Sea of Serenity. Kaolinite has been translated as Kaorinite, Kaori Night and Kaori Knight. Ptilol tends to get this a lot, her name being mangled as Puchirol or even Petite Roll in one case. The Amazoness Quartet (except for JunJun, who escaped unscathed) also got this - CereCere became CeleCele, PallaPalla became ParaPara and VesVes became BesuBesu in the dub and BethBeth in the subtitles. They're named after asteroids which were named after Roman goddesses - Ceres, Pallas and Vesta, respectively. Geneon's subtitles gave the name Byruit to Viluy. Calaveras was occasionally spelled Caraveras or Karaberas.

One of them has a name which is a play on Kamen Rider BLACK RX, shortening "Burakku Ä€ru Ekkusu" to "BÄ�rukusu". This caused no end of headaches for the fansubbers, trying to render this name in English letters. Various spellings such as Barx, Burks, BRX and Barlux were used, and some even tried to preserve the reference by naming him Barlckx. The official spelling was later revealed in a magazine as Barlckxs, adding an s to the end for some reason.

Japanese Ranguage / int_942349dc	comment	Fans of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders can't agree on whether one character's name is Avdol or Abdul. (They're both right - in Arabic, the letters "b" and "v" and the letters "u" and "o" are interchangeable, so the name can be correctly spelled Avdol, Abdol, Avdul or Abdul.) Subs tend to spell N'Dour's name as N'Doul, despite him being named after Youssou N'Dour, although this case might be an intentional copyright dodge as even official translations tend to do, because the series is crammed full of musical references, so adaptations have to tread lightly to avoid copyright violation lawsuits (which could also factor in Mohammed being called Avdol, since Hirohiko Araki took his surname from Paula Abdul, even though Abdul is a common Arabic name). Some of the Stands in the series exploit this deliberately to make a pun, such as Kobayashi Tamami's Stand The Lock in Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Diamond Is Unbreakable (named after the song "The Rock" by The Who) and Miuccia Miuller's Stand Jail House Lock in Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean (named after the song "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley).

Japanese Ranguage / int_9e2f90f4	comment	The German translation of One Piece spells Luffy's name (for the unfamiliar, that's pronounced "Loo-fee", not "Luff-ee") as Ruffy, pronouncing it like "Ruff-ee" rather than "Roof-ee". According to a translator Q&A in the manga, this was intentional, since "Ruffy" (as in "rough") sounds more like a pirate name than Luffy. Other translations also did that before reverting to the official Romanization. The 4Kids English dub of One Piece changed Zoro's name to Zolo, since Zoro sounds too similar to Zorro (whom the character was named after anyway). Zoro's family name, Roronoa, is also an example of this, being a mangling of the real-life French pirate's name l'Olonnais. There's a town the Straw Hats visit rather early on that is officially named Loguetown. The author spelled it this way deliberately, intending it to be a pun on prologue and epilogue, since the town itself is nicknamed "The Town of Beginnings and Ends". Many fansubbers and the 4Kids Entertainment dub missed the joke, and called it Rogue Town. There are also arguments as to whether the desert town is spelled Alabasta or Arabasta, though Alabasta is the official spelling. Almost no one gets poor Mr. 2 Bon Kurei's name right - 99% of translators both unofficial and official call him Bon Clay. (Word of God is Bon Kurei is the correct spelling, as he's named after a Japanese holiday, like the other female members of Baroque Works, since Mr. 2 is considered both a male and female agent). And then there's the story of the final island and likely location of One Piece. In Japanese it's spelled out as "Rafuteru" in katakana. Fan translations AND official translations referred to it as "Raftel" for several years. However with a double hit of One Piece Stampede and Chapter 967, it's revealed that it's meant to be called "Laugh Tale". The chapter revealing that whatever Roger found on the island, it made him and his crew laugh until tears came out of their eyes.

There was one PokÃ©mon in particular in the 3rd gen that caused a headache for people - Manectric. The Japanese name is Raiboruto, which could be transliterated as Raibolt (which makes sense, given "rai" means thunder). Except the official transliteration is Livolt, completely opposite of what most people were expecting regarding the R/L and B/V issue. At least it still passes as a portmanteau of "Live Volt", maintaining the "electric creature" theme.note Granted, the Volt is a measurement of electric potential, as opposed to actual electricity (i.e. a Bolt).

Japanese Ranguage / int_a4a6b86a	comment	There's a fair chance that Japanese Ranguage may have been involved in the naming of "Kallen" from Code Geass. When pronounced it sounds more like "Karen" and was in fact used by some fansubbers. However, the official transliteration is Kallen, which could possibly be due to someone aware of the problems with Japanese Ranguage and overcompensating. Granted there's no actual evidence for this, but it is at any rate a theory held by a decent enough portion of the fanbase, and there are fans that reject the "Kallen" transliteration outright. It was explicitly used in some fansubs, where she called herself Kallen when referring to her English bloodline, and Karen to Japanese. It should be noted however, that Karen is a common name in both the English and Japanese languages (though in Japanese the E sounds even more like a short I), in English it was derived from Katherine (from a Scandinavian diminutive), and its Kanji [ å�¯æ†� ] means lovely when referring to a girl or flower.

Japanese Ranguage / int_a796bde8	comment	Metal Gear Solid: Otacon notes that REX was a joint venture with Rivermore National Labs, while this might be a Bland-Name Product, it is more likely a mistranslation of Livermore National Laboratory. This is backed up by fact that Otacon mentions the use of NOVA and NIF lasers, both projects done by Livermore National Labs. During development, the character Deepthroat was known in the script as 'Deep Slaught' due to mistransliteration of the kana. This did eventually get fixed before the game came out. The Kaiju parody giant Genome Soldier from the Integral/VR Missions expansion pack and Updated Re-release is called "Genola". This was probably supposed to be 'Genora', as '-ra' or '-rah' is used as a slightly cheesy suffix for giant monster names in Tokusatsu. The Japanese version of the game, Revolver Ocelot's name is spelled "OCEROT" on his lifebar. Ocelot's nickname of "Shalashaska" was a mistransliteration of sharashka from Russian to Japanese to English, a kind of pre-1950s Soviet labour camp for scientists. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain attempts to salvage this by explaining that the word sharashka was linked to the word shaska meaning saber. It still doesn't explain how the 'l' got in there.

Adding to the hilarity, when the game was localized to English, these errors somehow slipped through the cracks on the original run and were only patched once people played up to the chapter and started pointing this out... after it was re-released in HD. Likewise, Falcom's own website accidentally named the files related to a character called Arianrhod, Arianload. Even the Japanese fans caught this one and the files was quickly renamed.

Japanese Ranguage / int_b1e6eef4	comment	Similar to Anime, if a Japanese Live-Action Show theme uses English (mostly seen in Toku), then there tends to be some of this. For example, in the main theme of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, there's a moment where the singer is supposed to say "Let's go! Let's go!", but instead says "Ret's go! Ret's go!" (even the subtitles say "Ret's"). Similarly, Tokumei Sentai Go Busters has the Monster of the Week called "Metaloids" and the heroes' partner robots as "Buddyloids" but the fansub groups prefer using "-roid" instead because of "android". Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. The villainous organization is called "Deboth". While it sounds awkward, Toei insisted on using that spelling despite it having been called Devoss/Deboss before and one of the rangers made a pun which the latter spelling is more appropriate. One episode of Choujuu Sentai Liveman had a pizza parlor whose front sign announced their "deliverly" service. In Choujin Sentai Jetman, the Black Condor's Jet machine is called Jet Condor, but can be seen with the writing "JET CONDOL" on the side. Kamen Rider OOO has the Tajadol Combo. It's obviously supposed to be Tajador, being a combination of Taka (Eagle), Kujaku (Peacock) and Condor, but the official spelling used by Toei is Tajadol. Note that they also refer to the Condor Medal as the Condol Medal, and OOO's sword weapon is the Medajaribur. Kamen Rider Double also suffers from this, with Kamen Rider Accel's weapon being officially named "Engine Brade" by Toei. (Though it could be a pun on "brake", since it kind of resembles the brake handle on a motorbike.) In Kamen Rider Kiva, the official spelling is Garulu, though subs tend to use Garuru. The real spelling wasn't made clear until the next series, Kamen Rider Decade, which had the name written on the Form Ride card in English letters. In Kamen Rider Drive, the main villain's final form is a golden copy of the main character's primary form; naturally, virtually all of his merchandise refers to it as "Gord Drive." The fourth Kamen Rider to be introduced in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is themed after a racing game, so fans commonly translated his name as Kamen Rider Racer. Then the series came out and revealed that the official spelling is Kamen Rider Lazer. The Kamen Rider Zi-O movie features villains who have names based on the non-main Heisei Kamen Rider series' names. One of them has a name which is a play on Kamen Rider BLACK RX, shortening "Burakku Ä€ru Ekkusu" to "BÄ�rukusu". This caused no end of headaches for the fansubbers, trying to render this name in English letters. Various spellings such as Barx, Burks, BRX and Barlux were used, and some even tried to preserve the reference by naming him Barlckx. The official spelling was later revealed in a magazine as Barlckxs, adding an s to the end for some reason.

In Japanese, the original game and its NES conversion were called Argos no Senshi, or "Warrior of Argos", and they were about a nameless "Legendary Warrior" questing to defeat a villain named Raiga. Somehow, that one name managed to get localized two different ways abroad, "Rygar" and "Ligar". The former was used as the title, which would normally make it an Antagonist Title, but it was also applied to the hero; the villain was "Ligar". The later PS2 game completely dropped said villain in favor of an entirely new story, so "Rygar" was unambiguously the protagonist.

One episode had a Villain of the Week named... either Lotten or Rotten. Even the series itself couldn't decide, since it was spelled both ways on-screen at various points.

In every Dragon Quest game prior to VIII, Bubble Slimes were referred to as Babbles. In Mega Man 2, one Robot Master is variably called either Clash Man or Crash Man, and many believe the actual name was intended to be Crush Man.

Japanese Ranguage / int_e485375e	comment	K-On!: In the trailer for the K-On! movie, Ritsu shouts "Lock 'n' LOLL!!" K-On! creator Kakifly took his pen name from the name of fried oysters, "kaki fry", yet spells it with an L when using Roman letters. He has also written out Ritsu's name as "Ritu" on at least one drawing. Note that this isn't actually a mistake, but the correct way this kana should be romanized according to the official Japanese "Kunrei-shiki" romanization system, while the more familiar "Ritsu" is romanized through the system devised by James Curtis Hepburn, an American physician and missionary active in Japan during the Gilded Age.Hepburn system is much better known in the West, but in Japan both romanizations are actively in usenote Supplemented by the older Nihon-shiki system on which Kunrei-shiki is based and often freely interchanged even within the single word, aided by the fact that since it is faster to type "tu" than "tsu", for example, a simplified form of Kunrei system called "Wapuro Romaji"note Wapuro being a "wasei eigo" (that is, a Japan-created "English" word) for word processor, from the Japanese phonetical spelling "WArudo PUrosessa-" is used to enter Japanese text on the keyboard.

Strangely, the manual for Metroid II: Return of Samus even refers to the suit itself as the "Barrier Suit", and refers to the in-game "Varia" item as an upgrade to create it. Of course, the Varia Suit would eventually become a default to which other upgrades are applied. The original Metroid calls the planet later known as Zebes "Zebeth".

Japanese Ranguage / int_f367511c	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! has a few examples: Invoked with the Jerry Beans Man card - since he's an anthropomorphic jelly bean, his name is a pun on "jelly beans" and the English name Jerry. Buster Rancher is clearly supposed to be Buster Launcher. Is it Northwemko or Norsewemko? The official card's name is Divine Grace - Northwemko, but people can't agree on what it "should" be. Then there's the Koa'ki Meiru archetype. It's actually supposed to be Core Chimail, being a portmanteau of "core", "chimera" and "mail", but for some reason the literal katakana spelling is the official one. Blackbird Close ("Burakkubado Kurosu" in the Japanese card), based on the artwork, is clearly supposed to be Blackbird Cross instead, as in, "crossing into the sunset". The artwork is also meant to resemble one scene in the anime when Crow rides on his Blackbird to cross from Satellite side into Top side. Whoever translating the name must have been translating without checking the artwork, let alone the origin of the artwork.

All three of these names (which Team Urameshi encounter as their first opponents in the Dark Tournament) are pronounced in the dub with L's in place of R's (although Word of God points out that Rinku's name came from Link, the dub still keeps the U at the end of the name).
