Talk:Brontosaurus

Name
The spelling of ブロントザウルス Burontozaurusu is used for brontosaurus in Japanese. Such as dictionary, wikipedia, toy,. The administrator of OP.com is not the one who can decide the manga's contents. --Klobis (talk) 03:24, October 1, 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing those sources, Klobis. According to the wikipedia link you provided, ブロントザウルス is a older way of spelling the word. Why would Oda use an outdated spelling? I'm also not sure it is fair to assume it is the site admin who dictates the name romanizations. I have not looked at every single page, but of the page names I've checked, they either match our other romanized sources or are names we have yet to get an official romanization for. "Bronte Zaurus" is a unique spelling.

I'd also point out that we have a precedent for names that are the katakana for kanji words. カラス vs. 烏 comes to mind, and because it is written in katakana, we have pages for Karasu and Karasu (Non-Canon).

Today, I will research this more, as I want to find the Vivre Card raw of the EX pack this character was included in and see of Oda uses ブロントザウルス there. I'll follow back up later. 13:28, October 1, 2020 (UTC)

The katakana name is the same in Vivre Card, as shown here. The question still remains of why Lda would use an older spelling of the words, which is supported by the onepiece.com spelling as a name rather than a species. 13:42, October 1, 2020 (UTC)
