Talk:Dis Astranagant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Astranagant?
I disagree that this is the correct spelling. There have been other romanjii spellings of the name before previously, and in whatever form its always ended with n instead of t.
If it were Astranagant, it would be spelt アストラナガント I believe. Having the ト missing is a pretty important sound to forget in the katakana spelling.
In what work exactly is it spelt like this? It was never said. I've seen it spelt Astranagan in the ultimana for SRWA and many other smaller guides centering around the series. I ask because if this is a mispelling it should be corrected. I'm still not convinced there's a T in the end. Every time the robot itself is said its said without a T sound, and in every case where there is a distinct t sound ト would be substituted. I don't buy it.(posted this in the Astranagan(t) article too.)--Kiyosuki 16:13, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
The reason why is that it is a gun reference that Banpresto clearly intends now. Astrana and Nagant put together is Astranagant. Also, the part about Dis Lev being 'entrophy' is clearly wrong, as Alpha 3 itself specifically states that... well, the text directly from the game is more explaination. This is from the Special Stage of @3.
Selena: Hey, is that mech able to convert those spirits into a power source!? Kusuha: But channeling the spirits of the dead into power, that means there have been that many deaths too many in this world, right...? Cobray: Death is but one part of the circle of life, death, and rebirth. Life is what determines what happens to a soul after death... Cobray: Dis Lev merely uses the power that exists within the gap between them. That's all...
