Was Vento Aureo ever an official translation in the first place?

I still find it utterly laughable that we can have a manga and anime and games that can have a Japanese man say "Killer Queen," and when that exact audio track is licensed and used in the west so that everyone can all also hear a Japanese man say "Killer Queen," we have to have a subtitle say "Deadly Queen."

It's the most chickenshit hypocritical silliness.

I don't....see how it's hypocritical.

I also don't see how after four parts, people are still not over this poo poo. It's obviously a concession we have to make, so just deal with it.

Yeah, and it's not like they're changing the names just to be assholes, they're doing it so they don't get sued into oblivion.

Dont judge me, I design your manhole
Only reason I'd bring it up again is because some of part 5's stand names were particularly bad. For some reason they didn't even bother trying and we got things like Lil' Bomber and Zipper Man.

Also they totally should've gone with Killer King, that sounds way better.

Hopefully they don’t use Zipperman and Lil Bomber. They tend to use the names from the English games but they’ve changed a few, like Pole Jam instead of Opal Jam.

It came up as the title for All Star Battle. They also used 'Diamond is Not Crash' so... I don't really know what's the deal either.

I assume it's just because it's part of the whole Italy aesthetic, like how Giorno's name isn't JoJo, it's GioGio

yeah, there's absolutely nothing that would prevent them from using either, it's just a conscious choice on their part and from a point of view it probably makes more sense to have all the titles in one language instead of one arbitrarily being in another

This really is a lot like arguing about whether or not it should have been diamond is not crash

And stand names are changed for copyright reasons, we go over this so much. Prince was very litigious and no doubt his estate will be too, for which I can't blame him because he was pushed around but even if it seems ridiculous there's a reason for it and you can not watch a dub and not care too much about the subs pretty easily

I just thought Vento Aureo sounded cooler tbh. Like how I preferred Ripple to Hamon/Sendo.

I'm sorry for causing this derail.

idk I just think knock-off names are really funny for some reason.

You know what, though, I really want a Snoop Dogg song for the ED because I want this to be the reason that Snoop finds out that JoJo exists, if he didn't already, and I can't stop thinking about that. I need this.

also anyone keeping up with the anime only knows by now that the names are supposed to be music refs and in a lot of cases can guess it even from the changed ones so what does it matter

Snoop not only knowing about Jojo but also being a fan would be incredibly unsurprising.

e: Heres a weird website I just found. The way I think its supposed to be said would be the "Italian Pronunciation" and the way I always said it before was the 8th English Pronunciation (USA)
