If Japan is supposed to be all about Germanic references, why can't they get it right?

Valpurgis instead of Walpurgis? :/

Also, not sure about this new manga... another "hero and dad issues" installment.

No, the official logo (see logo from game site) of the fucking series says VALPURGIS. It's not a result of the fan translation, ass clown. You think a fan translation would spell mobile as MOBIL? :/

Because romanization for katakana ヴァ would be "va", not "wa". In katakana "wa" is ワ. So, romanization for ヴァルプルギス is "Valpurgis". And no, I don't know why they don't write it as ワールプルギス so it can be romanized as "Walpurgis". Japanese can be pretty retarded with foreign words.

The German pronunciation, despite having the W spelling is pronounced as Va. They ended up transcribing how it sounded for the English title instead of how it's spelled...

Isekai literally means different world so he is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

Most native speakers won't even be able to differentiate the slight subtlety between Walpurgis and Valpurgis.
I mean, I've only taken a year of German and can make the individual sounds of 'v' and 'w', but the difference is literally just where one's teeth land on the bottom lip. 'v' lands about a millimeter away from where 'w' lands.
