??? what?
youre gonna have to explain this to me

if you translate the japanese characters directly into english letters, it becomes "gyarados"

if you then try to translate english "gyarados" back into japanese, but keep english letters, it becomes "gyaradosu" or whatever because japanese can't handle english letters the same way. but the actual japanese characters translated/romanized directly into english letters are just "gyarados." it only changes when you try to go backwards into still english letters but under japanese rules
