Heya Hibiki ^_^

I have a request. Would it be possible to correct the mistranslations of ジャアクキング and ドツクゾーン from the first two seasons?

Translating ジャアク as "dark" instead of "evil" is from Arienai's fansubs. It would be an understandable mishearing, if it weren't for Mepple's warnings about じゃあく things every episode being translated correctly.

Translating ドツク as "dusk" instead of "punch" is also from Arienai. It also seems to be a mishearing.

In any case, I'd expect the Pretty Cure wiki not to perpetuate these mistakes. The Spanish edition of the wiki at least keeps both names as romaji.

Changing the character's name to "Evil King" wouldn't be too confusing I think. A name like "Punching Zone" doesn't really make much sense though. "Strike Zone" is a baseball term, but also doesn't make much sense in this context. Keeping it as "Dotsuku Zone" would probably be better.

I'd like to hear your (or other admins') thoughts on this ^_^
