Happened with enel as well, in the anime they pronounce it eneru, Japanese syllables always end in a vowel (except n) so in order to write the name enel in Japanese you have to add a vowel at the end. Also there is no r or l sound in Japanese, it’s a weird combination or both sounds as well as d. So Enel became Eneru

I remember not knowing that the whole “Zolo” thing was just a mistake when i started the manga. I knew that his name was “Zoro” thanks to a friend of mine. So I just taught that he will change it after some importent event, but no it was just a “mistake”😂😂😂

@aleanddragonITA 7 ай бұрын

The confusion is caused because Zo & Lo are the same Kanji So both Zoro & Zolo are pronounced Zolo I read the Raw/Untranslated version of the Chapter where the bounty of the Main Characters are shown And they are written with using our Western Alphabet And is Zoro not Zolo I guess that the best way to translated it would be to write Zolo when it is pronounced & Zoro where it isn't Zolo in Speek Bubbles & Zoro when it's a Descritive/Narrative Bubble As Speek Bubbles represents someone pronouncing it where the Descriptive/Narrative would need the Western Spelling which Oda himself showed being Zoro

I remember hearing they had issues calling him Zoro because of Zorro. Apparently the company that owns the rights to Zorro is really strict with the name's usage since they own the copyrights. It is sort of like how you cannot use Eternia because of He-Man in North America, or the word Edge because of copyright. By the way. The one about edge is really messed up and there are videos about it, as well as how you cannot use Eternia in North America.

Someone probably already said this but it's not that L's and R's sound similar in Japanese. it's just that Japanese doesn't have any characters that make an L sound so they use the R sound instead when writing 'foreign' names, so translations basically just have to use context clues to know which is more accurate

The intresting thing is that Zoro in one piece is almost definitely named after Zorro one the legendary swordsmen of western literary canon. An Mihawk looks a lot like some incarnations of Zorro. Zorro is a dashing Spanish nobleman who is also a vigilante at night. And while the storys dont necessarily match the archetype of the arrogant noble spaniard swordsman he depicts is Zorro.
