They'd looked it up enough to think it meant "Strawberry".

Also, just because I finally watched his debut episode of Blade today - Leangle has a spider design on his face. The gold lines make up the legs.

To add to the ichigo/ichigou talk, the reason that extra u is added when we write Kamen Rider Ichigou is that 'ichigo' the Japanese word for strawberry is written as "いちご" while Ichigou which means no. 1 is written as "いちごう". And as much as I can be guilty of it too sometimes out of laziness, if we consider how the word is originally written in Japanese, ignoring the 'u' would be like writing the word snooze as "snooz".
Again, I tend to drop the u sometimes too out of laziness in my case but yep, just wanted to share that tidbit.

Yeah, I generally avoid truncating my u's when writing Japanese names specifically to avoid this kind of confusion. It's a fairly minor phonetic difference, but it's the difference between Kaitou, the morally ambiguous secondary Rider from Decade, and Kaito, the morally ambiguous secondary Rider from Gaim.
It's worth noting that Japan themselves generally don't romanize things like that, but of course, they also have little reason to transliterate things in a way that prioritizes reflecting their own language with maximum technical accuracy.

I feel so stupid for just realising this now, but the Titan Megazord/Magi King has an 'M' on the wizard hat. You know, 'M' for 'Magiranger'.
And yes, I was already aware of the blatant 'M's that were littered over the chest and body. |

I just realised that Kamen Rider Sorceror has a mustache.
And it it just me, or is there a face on his hat? O_O Last edited by gashatfreak; 09-11-2019 at 12:20 AM.. |
