Bugnaraku? Not Bugnarok

Post by takenoko »

I think at this point it's clear that Underground Kingdom Bugnarok should be Bugnaraku.

Naraku/Naraka is the Buddhist idea of the underworld, and with Dezanaraku being abyss themed, it would make more sense for them to be Naraku themed than Ragnarok themed

So it should be Bugnaraku and Deznaraku

Is it too late to change it now?

Because there's a strong theming of underworld/abyss/darkness but no Norse mythology references afaik

Ragnarok ラグナロク (Ra-gu-na-ro-ku)
Underground Empire Bugnarok 地帝国バグナラク (Ba-gu-na-ra-ku)
Naraku 奈落 (Na-ra-ku)

Ragnarok also appears to usually use na-ro-ku instead of na-ra-ku. I mean you do get results for ra-ga-na-ra-ku too, but still, the wiki's got it as ro-ku

Split the differernce. Bugnarak.
idk I think the u at the end feels weird, especially after half a year of it not being there.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I'll keep it as is and just use the corrected version on the forums. If this were a better show, I'd probably give it the Blu-ray treatment and adjust a bunch of other stuff too

Does the wiki require to change the name if this is your suggestion?

Dunno. I definitely need to update the trivia about the actual etymology of the name though

i like Bugnaraku better since it's more relevant and consistent with the theme so far. abyss and what not.

i think the second arc is a good chance to pop in the rename.
hopefully Anon would consider it
