Talk:Gobu

Uh, neither "Cobra" or "Gobu" has a long o. Even if it did, it's not a name based on English linguistics to begin with, so trying to apply English orthography to it is silly. —Interrobang 13:15, 2 February 2012 (EST)

...how on earth do you pronounce "Cobra"? Also, we don't HAVE an official Romanization, so the names should be written in a way that someone might plausibly be able to look at them and know what they are. And every English-speaker on Earth will look at "Gob" and rhyme it with "slob". -LV 14:02, 2 February 2012 (EST)

Interrobang lived in New York, LV, he knows what a "cahbra" is. --ItsWalky 15:06, 2 February 2012 (EST)

If you want to get technical, fans are the people using this wiki. Fans know that this toy is Japanese, and many of them have a rudimentary idea of how Japanese pronunciation works. By calling it "Gobe", you're suggesting that it might be pronounced "Goh-Bay" ;)--BraveMax 04:35, 3 February 2012 (EST)
