    It's definitely ten billion percent more likely that a Japanese company fucked up writing English than it is that a Japanese author fucked up writing Japanese, yeah
    Pretty bad point you're trying to make there bud

    I get the point you're trying to make, but people do make spelling mistakes/typos in their native language all the time. It's not some monumentally unlikely thing that never hapens.

    While thats true. a single mistake would make sense, it being repeated on multiple times on different things tho, then it becomes more and more unlikely

    Thats not a question.

    the only question related to such is the one where you ask whether anyone was involved was a total blooming idjit

    Or just possessed of such weak character and force of will that they couldn’t stop blooming idjits from doing blooming idjit things

    The real issue is how many times it was repeated. A Japanese person writing English wrong is more likely than them writing Japanese wrong, but not monumentally so. On the other hand, the odds of them writing the same Japanese word wrong over and over on multiple unrelated occasions really is approaching monumentally unlikely. I actually agree with you, but you could've clarified your point better.

    This has probably been asked a million times in regards to LB3 already, but

    Spoiler:
    is Hinako actually unironically a True Ancestor, or is the entire rest of the internet wrong? Because that's incredibly stupid if true.

    From everyone I talked about how it was written Owner is correct in all the written material.
    Instead, I think ufotable wrote it right, while Urobuchi wrote オーナー instead of オナー, but meaning "Honor" and not "Owner". In FGO materials the name of the NPs are written in katakana, not in romaji, so if they wrote it wrong in katakana, they could still allude to "Honor" and not "Owner". It will be really strange if ufotable wrote "Honor" by mistake.
    And for those of you who are english, does "Knight of Owner" have sense? I think that "Knight of Honor" does.

    It's different though for "Blut die Schwester", because Nasu really wrote it wrong. In german "blood sisters" is "Blutsschwestern", and not "Blut die Schwester", because the latter means nothing. But it's a different story.

    That's what I hoped to hear. Far too many jingkebells attached to being literally exactly that.

    Owner doesn't make sense, but this isnt the only time TM sucked at spelling.

    And this isnt just the FGO mats, its literally every single time the NP has been written down from what I am aware. If it was a mistake that wouldn't make sense.

    I think owner makes sense because it's a NP that makes the user the owner of other people's NPs by stealing them which isn't very honourable.

    I get that Honor makes sense in that Lancelot is famous for his initial honor and tragic love story, but Owner, like koto points out, makes more sense in the context

    but believe whatever you like
