Newmans or Numans?

I guess it's like Dark Falz/Dark Force, where the Japanese name just sounds awkward to English speakers and loses some of the cool factor. Numan sounds more sci-fi to me but Newman fits better with the Japanese spelling (since it uses the same kana for new) and is more consistent with the rest of the series so I don't care either way.

On another note:

Well said, pitohui. It's nice to see someone recognize that language is a flexible, evolving thing. I wish that happened more often.

Pretty much every major language has loanwords, shifts in pronunciation, and exceptions. English has a weirder history compared to other languages (thanks France ) but it's not that different in that regard.

Yes, it's pronounced/spelled the same in japanese so...so for me too I love both ways !
