I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana

[–] OuterRem@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.

I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?

Because it sounds like English words which is "cool"
