So, one of the most important things about Hunter x Hunter is the names. The fic is one thing, the canon another, but god, the names.

Illustrates the issue best.

The comments go on to show the "official" romanizations as given by Togashi, himself. In his defense, he did admit to getting 70/200 on his English score in one page of the manga.

ANOTHER ONE (BECAUSE I'M A MASOCHIST): Pakunoda = Phalcnothdk.

WHAAAAAAAAT. TOGASHI, THAT IS NOT HOW ENGLISH WORKS.

that's *~GLORIOUS~*

i want him to try to spell my name. 8|

i would make it my screenname.

[prettypriestess]

that's not glorious, wistymon. that's horrible.

okay, and yes, a little bit ~*GLORIOUS*~, tildes and asterisks entirely mandatory

I WONDER IF HE COULD MANAGE TO PUT A Q IN MY NAME. There's nothing resembling qs or q-like sounds in my name, so I'm guessing fuck yes my name would get a q. 8D

... maybe he's trying to imitate Welsh ? 8D Welsh is pretty bizarre in the same amazing way.
It is pretty *~glorious~*.

[prettypriestess]

XD That was my first thought, too. Welsh is fucking hard. (I only know what I learned from The Dark Is Rising sequence, but damn.)
