Despite the correct romanization of "Rejendisuku", I think this should be translated to "Legend Disk". It's not unheard of for Japanese to drop double consonants when translating English phrases or words into Katakana, and "Legendisc" makes a lot less sense than "Legend Disk" (Or "Legend Disc" - doesn't really matter to me). --BraveMax 01:48, 3 July 2013 (EDT)
