But as we keep trying to impress on you (and I don't think it's caught on yet), when you say "official"... what does that mean?Meshack wrote:I go more of the “official” route than anything else unless there isn’t one.
Because (again) there are constantly different spellings being used for various characters. Only the smallest amount are extremely consistent (Satan), versus a smaller handful that are MOSTLY consistent but even then still have outliers (Bulma vs. Bloomer and Buluma; Gokou vs Gokuh and Goku), versus the vast majority that have AT LEAST three different alphabet spellings in wide use over the last thirty years.
And that's JUST transliterations/adaptations in our alphabet from the Japanese rights-holders, nevermind the "official" sub-license holders in America alone, and EVEN THEN within the SAME COMPANY you'll have different style guides and approaches (see: "Tenkaichi Tournament" vs "Tenkaichi Budokai" in FUNimation subtitles versus "World Martial Arts Tournament in FUNimation's dub).
I already said this, but again-again, name a single character and I can likely give you two (if not three or four) examples of that name being spelled differently in our alphabet from the same Japanese company.
