A/N: For those of you who can't read, this is in the HUMOR category for a reason. It is not to be taken seriously.
Don't get me wrong, I love Ronin Warriors to pieces but I was watching the first episode recently and I have to wonder...
What kind of virtue is grace/courtesy? "By the power of grace..." That's really intimidating!
Why did they change the names of all the characters in the English version? And where did they get the names that they used? (Shu - Kento... What the...?)
Why did they only change the first names but not the family names?
Why on earth would they make one person named Anubis in the Japanese version and a DIFFERENT person named Anubis in the English version?
Why did they have one person have the virtue of wisdom in the Japanese version and a DIFFERENT person have wisdom in the English version?
Why do Cye and Rowen have accents? Aren't they supposed to be Japanese?
Why is pretty much the only one who really betrays anyone (Shuten), have the virtue of 'loyalty'?
Why, when they were giving the Japanese version subtitles, did they randomly decide not to translate things all over the place?
Why, when they did the English version did they make up completely different conversations instead of translating them? ((Japanese subtitles) "You're up against me next." (English version) "You've gotta know where to hit them." Yeah. One of millions.)
How on Earth was Touma able to propel himself in a completely horizontal attack?
Why is Seiji always upside down?
And how does "scared of girls" translate to "Flirt-king"?
Why does Mia's computer make noises that no computer should ever make?
Why is Seiji's power translated as "Nimbus" in the Japanese version? What in tarnation is that? Merriam-Webster says:
1 a a luminous vapor, cloud, or atmosphere
about a god or goddess when on earth b a cloud or atmosphere
(as of romance) about a person or thing
2 an indication (as a circle) of radiant light or glory about
the head of a drawn or sculptured divinity, saint, or sovereign
3 a a rain cloud b : THUNDERHEAD;
also : CUMULUS 2

I'm assuming it's not number two, and number one makes no sense in context and since his power is supposed to be light, I'm gonna go ahead and get rid of number three too. So wait... what in tarnation IS that?
How does Mia know that this random kid she saw on TV was a Ronin Warrior? Because he had a tiger? Wait... what?
And if Mia supposedly knew that it was the end of the world, why was she just sitting watching TV?
Why were they so afraid of attacking the monster because it would hurt Nasty and Jun but it was perfectly okay to kill it? Shouldn't that have killed them?
How exactly does one hold a conversation in normal speaking tones with someone who is on top of a building?
I'm not even going to begin with the OVA...

P.S. Look up Sage's mental notes for Ronin Warriors on Youtube. HILARIOUS!
