Forum:Jack Atlas/Rua/Ruka

This is official linework that Takahashi made for 5D's, showing that the character's names are in fact "Jack Atlas", "Rua" and "Ruka" (and as a sidenode, "Aki Izayo"). Considering that the anime's animators have been proven time and again to be seriously English-impaired, I think the articles should be moved to those locations. Besides, "Jack Atlas" is his name in the dub anyway. Danny Lilithborne 02:37, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Hn. Interesting find. The problem is, then, that this is only one model sheet, whereas the show itself consistently uses "Atlus", "Lua", and "Luca", in more than one place each. And that's definitely Izayoi. Rodtheanimegod4ever 03:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
  • It also consistently uses "Fortun Cup". A consistent error is still an error, and I'm pretty sure the creator of the show trumps the animators. Danny Lilithborne 03:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
  • As a side note, it is "Izayoi", I just forgot to enlarge the image. Stupid resizing browser. Danny Lilithborne 03:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Is there any particular reason you're so adamant about this? And where is "Fortun" Cup used? Rodtheanimegod4ever 03:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
      • On the invitations. And I'm not really adamant about it. I just believe they're the right names and wanted to provide evidence of such. Danny Lilithborne 06:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• It does actually sound more like they call him Atlas in the dub. The lineart looks like proof enough to me. I'm in favour of moving the pages. -- Deltaneos (talk) 11:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Could this mean they messed up when they spelled "Jonouchi", "Jyonouchi" in the Japanese anime? -- Deltaneos (talk) 11:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Possibly, but Jyonouchi is a valid transliteration of his name. Danny Lilithborne 13:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Just to absolutly clarify the spelling of Atlas, UDE are using it -- Deltaneos (talk) 15:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

• Seeing as the twins English names are clearly based on Lua and Luca, are we to treat Rua and Ruka or Lua and Luca as their main Japanese names? -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:53, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
