JC, aka GymLeaderLance99 or GLL99 or Lance99. 32|He/Him|NYC. I fansub GX, work on dub/sub comparisons for 5D's (and GX eventually), and have various other projects going. Expect a mix of YGO stuff (and a little ZeXal and SEVENS [which I'm slowly watching]), with some occasional randomness.Duel Links ID: 537-542-930 | Master Duel ID: 999-767-712

    Probably already brought up, but in case you didn’t knew: 

    Behold Roger official romanized name.

    #i’m not sure but is the pronounciation of R really similar to the T in Japan?

    Actually, no–if it was meant to be Roger, it’d be spelled as rojaa/ロジャー, with the extended “aa” sound being their approximation of an “er” ending in loan words (see changer/チェンジャー and plunger/プランジャ).  I’ve actually thought it’d be “rojet” since he was first announced–it being roje (ロジェ), combined with his name being the French-sounding Jean Michel/ジャン・ミシェル, led me to thinking it was meant to be a silent “t”, and so we get “Roget.” Them using rojetto/ロジェット would also not work, since while it’d still spell “Roget,” the “t” would end up pronounced here.

    I’d say this is a case of actually accurate romanization, unlike JOERI und UTE e HYUGO, really.
