Agreed, you can't really swap out alphabets in Japanese like that anyway unless it's supposed to convey an odd/robotic manner of speech. It's very common to use katakana for character names regardless of the origin of the name, but for most of the terms it would rarely, if ever, be written that way.

mUndo revision 3776778 by Somethingone (talk) It doesn't need to be stated in policy, it is literally just the most common and standard way of writing these words. e.g. You generally don't write "kun" or everyday verbs like "suru" (to do) in katakana. I also don't understand the part about "NOJ thinking of one alphabet"; they can change alphabets if they want to, and enemy names are generally katakana anyway.

Okay, but where in our policy does it say we need to use the most common spelling of a word when making breakdowns in hiragana/katakana? If NOJ wrote the name in one alphabet, they had that alphabet in mind when making it and not the other. plus, it is way more helpful to the readers if the alphabet is the same as the name; most of our readers aren't editors with minimal Japanese fluency but english readers who don't know anything about Japanese.
This would normally be written in Hiragana

→Names in other languages: Can someone please tell me why these IPs keep changing hiragana to katakana when the name is in hiragana and vice versa when the name is katakana. I genuinely don't understand why.
