About the title of issue#6
The original title of the issue #6 is "戦闘開始！地球・宇宙連合軍". The term "連合軍" is normally translated into "Union troops" (or "United troops" sometimes). While the kanji for "Federation" is "連邦". I think we should use the term "Union troop". :D
- By the way, I am really confused by the plural form of Jr. Is "NNNs Jr." formal or "NNN Jrs" is formal? I only know "Headmaster Jr." (sing) is correct. Thanks. :D --TX55 17:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
