Good American to Japanese name listing X-BoB58. I'm assuming that you put Metroplex in reverse order. I have to agree some of the Japanese names are a bit odd. :thumb

well, as far as the Sprang/Sprung debate goes, I'd like to put it to rest.

 

The Japanese name for Bulkhead is スプラング, which is pronounced close to supurangu, but the "u" sounds are usually cut off. The pronounciation of the vowel in Sprang/Sprung is "ah" as in the word "on". Besides that, the katakana is sounded as an "a" as opposed to an "u" which is more like "ooh". The conclusion is that because of the nature of the Japanese language, Bulkhead's Superlink name is defined by pronounciation and the only way to truly write it correctly is スプラング. But, if an English name must be written, Sprang is the more correct of the two, even though it is pronounced like the English word "sprung". That said, it's a name not a word so it can be written differently than it would be pronounced.

 

Confused yet?
