精霊超獣 (ダィアバウンド)
So I was flicking through my fanart folder(s) and found a Japanese page of the manga and noticed that Diabound actually has four kanji to it's name rather than just 'Diabound'. Considering how long it took me to find the bastard kanji (+1 DS game/dictionary thing I wish I was kidding) I think they're all accurate.
精 - Spirit, soul etc.
霊 - the ghost, the departed soul
超 - This generally seems to be a prefix along the lines of super- or hyper-
獣 - a beast, a brute
So when put together with it's name, you get something along the lines of 'Diabound, the super beast of the departed spirits.'
Spoilers: Diabound is much easier off the tongue than 'seiryouchoujyuu' is.
Also that first kanji?
精子(せいし) / a spermatozoon, a sperm
Slap child on the end and you get sperm. Stick something else on it and you get ejaculate. /5 years old
I'm not sure if Bakura calls it anything other than Diabound, but the name is pretty fitting.
