			::::::So... Not to bring this back up... But since we'll most likely be seeing a lot more of these... Until we have an official romanization (which will, in all likelihood, be wildly incorrect anyways), shouldn't we err on the side of academically-accepted romanization of Japanese kana or at least a spelling that would be pronounced correctly by this wiki's primary audience? A native Japanese speaker would never pronounce this name "Gob" or "Baro" as "Bulo". Therefore, those two (as an example) should be spelled "Gobu" or "Gohb" and "Baro" or "Bahro"... --[[User:BraveMax\|BraveMax]] 02:43, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
