Demigra's name.

Post by Red-Eye » Tue Oct 18, 2016 4:08 pm

Since Dōmigura comes from Dōmigurasuso, wich means “Demi Glace”, shouldn't Dōmigura be “Demi Gla”?
If so; why did FUNimation choose to go with “Demigra”?

Because Demigra sounds cooler?
When Super apparently shoves Goku down our throats:

If "Demigla" is the final romanization, than it looks like a Japanese interchangeable r's and l's thing. So is he named after ice cream? I hear "glace" and I think the french word.

It obviously sounds cooler to FUNimation since they chose to go with this.
