Farewell, Japanese Monster Hunter names... · 1:12am Mar 4th, 2016
Meet the new monsters and their English names.
Yay.
Mizusune
Gammoth
Astalos
Glavenus
To the names' credit, I'm not overly saddened by three of them. Mizusune is a worthy replacement name to Tamamitsune as it doesn't alter the name too much, Gammoth sounds way cooler than Gamuto in my opinion, and while I'm slightly disappointed Raizekusu's name doesn't quite have the same incredible electrical sting to it, Astalos isn't a half-bad name.
But did they REALLY have to change DINOVALDO! What the fuck was wrong with Dinovaldo, huh?! That was a badass name! What do we get instead? Glavenus. FUCKING GLAVENUS!! I know that names shouldn't be important and that I'm complaining over really nothing, when you put in the fact that Glavenus sounds like anus, I will never be able to look at this monster in quite the same way ever again.
The first time I read Glavenus's name I misread it as
GLAVE ANUS.
I'm dead serious btw.
That name is so bad, it screams pain.

Maybe the translator sat on a pole-arm?
3790295 With a name that bad most likely.
3790208
Yeah, I even made a joke about that!
3790295
Probably in agony right now.
I'm still calling him Dinovaldo
