Capitalization and punctuation

  • Fusion is always capitalized. But the verb "fuse" doesn't have to be.
  • Use just as many exclamation marks and question marks as the original. (So ?? if the source contains ??, et cetera)
  • Denjuu World has capitalization on both words.

Names

See Text Dump/Short lists.

Gender

If it's obvious from the text whether a Denjuu is a male or a female, stick to that. Otherwise, use they/them.

Notes

  1. These words mean "attach" or "install" since "fusion" was originally "remodeling", but with the change to "fusion" it's better to use "fuse". They clearly fuse in the animations anyway.
