So after decades of people saying "daughtress" or "dauntless" it turns out that the name is Dotrace taken from the Japanese anime industry term "dou-trace" meaning taken from the same traced lineart
>>
We're still gonna be using Daughtress.
>>
>>23807667
neat!
>>
>>23807667
Daughtress is the official spelling, it's on the Gunpla boxes.
>>
"Dauntless" doesn't fit, even though it's a far cooler title. It's still Daughtress.

>it turns out that the name is Dotrace
No it isn't.
>>
>>23807667
yes that's where the name came from, but that doesn't change that it's name is Daughtress
>>
this is like being autistic enough to complain that we immediately need to stop saying zaku and start saying zako instead because that's the word that the name zaku was based on

or that we need to stop saying aznable and say azanour instead
>>
>>23807667
doutrace sounds cool...
>>
>>23812579
Said literally no one, ever.
>>
>>23813039
he said it though

I guess that mean's (you)'re no one.

I'm not >>23812579 you mental patient

But how do you pronounce Char?

So where'd they get Jenice from?

Couldn't fit the images in their entirety?
>>
>>23822052
All the SRA MS are named after months
>>
>>23808701
No, this is saying the name is supposed to be Zaku because it's derived from zako and you're a drooling retard for calling it ZuCue

... I'm not disagreeing that this is stupid.

>>23829560
are you really using a dynasty warriors game as the authority on what names should be in enligh
>>
>>23829606
Sure.
>>
>>23829606
I mean the first one was, and still is one of the most significant original stories post ZZ that Puru plays a larger role in.

Are you okay?

it's impressive really

>>23835874
Romanization' doesn't quite match pronunciation.
>>
>>23835848
I don't recall Char having yellow trim in his color scheme.

>>23807667
Did pic have anything to do with this alleged epiphany?

He's commenting on a picture posted alongside that one, not that one for some reason.
>>
>>23848272
Why didn't he post the picture in question then?
>>
>>23849612
Maybe he didn't have it.
>>
>>23849612
https://x.com/Char_Tweet/status/2040751837461041277

I think this is his source. The twitter user only posted text for that part, alongside the picture in the op.
>>
>>23851001
That raises the question of how the OP knows what the accompanying picture was.
>>
>>23852352
He has the image in question, he just decided to hold out on us.
>>
>>23841764
He does in his uniform
>>
>>23807769
Why? You know you are wrong.
>>
>>23853743
Not his mobile suits, though.
>>
>>23807667
Paula is actually Perla
See https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/シンデレラ_(1950年の映画)#キャラクター
>>
>>23856540
What about Pala? Who's Paula, anyway?
>>
>>23856593
>What about Pala?
It's パーラ not パラ
>>
>>23856603
It's also ウッソ not ユソ; doesn't stop everyone from romanizing it as Üso.
>>
>>23856540
I begin to suspect all the etymologies you've pushed in this thread are nothing more than spurious associations.
>>
>>23860389
I've only made two posts >>23856540
>>23856603
So basically you're an idiot.
>>
>>23860461
Rather unreasonable for you to call me an idiot when all other etymological claims were also made under the name Anonymous.
>>
>>23807774
Reminds me of that old illustration of Claire Redfield.

>>23854292
Yeah, but if some suit at Bamco says it's>>23808563 on the model box, it is so.

>>
>>23851001
And what authority has that poster on the issue?
>>
>>23829463
January? June? Which month?
>>
>>23858414
Not sure what's more egregious, that or Puru.
>>
>>23870117
June.

Jenice -> June
Jurag -> July
Septem -> September
Octape -> October

Febral -> February
>>
>>23871277
Nothing wrong with Puru. Trying to force Ple is caused by a complete lack of understanding of phonetics in both English and Japanese. It's low IQ shit.
>>
>>23871283
>Febral -> February

how the fuck did this never click
>>
>>23871283
>Jurag
That anything like Juracq?

>>23873825
>implying
Hello retard. People is pronounced /ˈpēp(ə)l/. Kys.
>>
>>23873856
Hello yourself double-retard. Take notice that "puru" doesn't apply to that phonetically. Follow your own advice.
>>
>>23807667
the image you posted has nothing to do with your post
>>
>>23872619
what?
>>
>>23873825
His post literally implies he's aware of the etymology of the name.
>>
>>23875675
Then he has no excuse for insisting on misspelling her surname.
>>
>>
>>23881364
That's not the usual pair.
>>
>>23871283
I didn't know the Febral preceded the others.
>>
>>23883386
It has the same designation number as the Zeong
>>
>>23856540
That makes a lot of sense because Paula would be ポーラ or パウラ while the character is actually パーラ
>>
>>23883712
So how do they explain the Octape?
>>
>>23883966
The phonetics fit but that doesn't make it anything other than a spurious association unless anon can provide a definitive statement by the writers that it is in fact the source of the name.
>>
>>23869201
He was posting tons of X scans at the time, alongside some text descriptions of stuff supposedly from the same books but that he didn't bother scanning.
>>
>>23871283
What about Crouda, Bertigo and Patulia.
>>
>>23887568
I don't think any of those go alongside the month reference naming scheme. The manga sequel/side-story Under the Moonlight added the Descem though, for "December".

They literally say Ple phonetically in the Unicorn dub lol

Something tells me she won't be at all appreciative.
>>
>>23895892
What's she gonna do about it, huh?
>>
>>23887581
>sequel/side-story
So does it take place during or after the events of the series?
>>
>>23898950
9 years later. But it doesn't involve any of X's characters at all aside from brief mentions of the final battle.

The Gundam X, G-Falcon and later other Gundams here are all separate units from the ones in the original X tv series too.
>>
>>23898963
>>
>>23818692
Like in Charismatic.
>>
>>23829478
the name is Daughtress just like Qubeley isn't Cybele
>>
>>23875045
yeah because her name is Pull when you can pronounce an L
>>
>>23899019
Still sounds less retarded than puru.
>>
If you could go back in time and change it at the source, would you hit the translation team with some books and change Tallgeese to Theurgist?
>>
>>23901386
Ever played or at least seen Endless Duel? Tallgeese has been the canon translation since well before it was ever even considered for release in the Anglosphere.
>>
>>23901386
I initially thought it was spelled Tolgeis when I first heard the name.
>>
>>23901386
Not nearly as egregious as Schuzrum Dias.
>>
>>23901386
It's tall and looks like a geese, what's wrong with the name?
>>
>>
>>23903512
Looks more like a legionary with a clipeus to me.
>>
>>23904725
What happened to the X's feet?
>>
>>23906632
You know what they say...
>>
>>23907564
High ground pressure?
>>
>>23891037
Why was that even spoilered?
>>
>>23891037
Uh oh stinky.
>>
>>23903176
I'm still trying to figure out what possessed them to start transliterating Usso as Üso.
>>
>>23913290
While you're at it, try to figure out why they transliterated Shuraku as Shrike.
