How did Takeda Kouhei become Kahei? It's not even the right vowel...

Haha, they changed Karasu to Glasses. I'm not even sure how these errors are possible.

Today I learned SIC means Superior something Colosseum

They're using a machine translation service that sucks monkey balls. Bing is more accurate and that's saying something. I mean, it's probably accurate for business stuff but for entertainment it's just horrible.

And it's really clear that no one is even double checking to see if the English is remotely accurate cause even the Japanese names are totally wrong.

SIC is supposed to mean Super Imaginative Chogokin. I don't know why they've changed it for this.

Also, thanks Luna. Just need to add in the Figuarts Cross-Z Magma image and we're good.

But it doesn't seem like computers would make these kind of mistakes. Are you sure that it's not just a bunch of Chinese guys translating it through a site?
