| Would anyone know what "roritchi / ロリッチ" means? I'd guess something like "low ridge" but I'm not sure if that could be right without a prolonged "o"-sound. [[User:Geewunling|Geewunling]] 13:48, 12 December 2010 (EST)

| :On a related note, wouldn't it make more sense for his name to be rendered as "Roricchi" given that the small ッ has the effect of doubling the next normal-sized character's consonant sound? --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 00:25, 21 February 2020 (EST)

| ::{{w|Hepburn romanization#Long consonants}}. "ch" is not a k sound, but tsh, so the sound being repeated is t. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 01:21, 21 February 2020 (EST)

| :::I know it's not a K sound. In my university's Japanese classes, we were taught that the small ッ placed before チ would turn "chi" into "cchi" when written in Latin script, and that to speak it one would add a brief glottal stop to the beginning of the affected consonant sound. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] ([[User talk:Sabrblade|talk]]) 01:33, 21 February 2020 (EST)
| |
| ::::Then your class wasn't using standard Hepburn rules. {{w|Matcha}} [mat.tɕa], not maccha; the consonant sound is actually being repeated (think "catchain") and doesn't contain a glottal stop. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 02:04, 21 February 2020 (EST)

| :::::Saix is correct. For a famous example, the Hepburn scheme dictates the Romanized spelling "etchi" in contrast to the colloquially popular "ecchi" for「エッチ」. And to the main point at hand, I agree that if indeed derived from some English word, then「ロリッチ」should be rendered something like "Lorich", though I cannot discern the origin. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D.

| ::::::It's either entirely made-up or something like "Rollich", from what I can gather. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 09:28, 21 February 2020 (EST)

Black Roritchi character
Is there a logic to thinking Black Roritchi is the same character as Fasttrack despite the completely different name? Saix (talk) 21:52, 20 February 2020 (EST)
