Petit Tornado variant?
On episode 11, Ruli calls "Petit Tornado", followed by "最大出力". Do we consider this its own attack? Crunchyroll subtitled as "Petit Tornado, maximum output" as it's not part of the attack name. The audio has an attack name echo for Petit Tornado, but not for the "maximum output" part. The dialogue goes as this.
 * Crunchyroll subtitles
 * "Pyon Dump!"
 * "Into a Petit Tornado,"
 * "maximum output!"


 * Closed captions
 * "ピョンダンプ！"
 * "からの…"
 * "プチトルネード 最大出力！"

 * probably not. she could say to do the attack but holding back cuz the person theyre fighting is their friend something and it'd be similar. i think its a bit of a stretch to say its a new attack. she just wanted angraomon to put full effort into it.Marcusbwfc (talk) 02:24, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. It would be like if Tai said "Baby Flame, aim for the head!" If the art caption included the kanji in the little cutscene, that would be different though. 15:22, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

cr translations
i feel like any translation of a japanese attack name should be considered the official translation for the japanese attack name over whatever fanslation the fan base comes up with. quite a few of them seem to differ on this list, and we should be going with official any time we can.Marcusbwfc (talk) 03:15, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The point of the "lit" field is to communicate the literal meaning of the text, in order to inform the reader. For example, the meaning behind Diarbbitmon and Amphimon's attacks cannot be communicated just relying on the English DRB or the GG subtitles. We should bend towards the official subs when they communicate the full intent, like with "Jet-black Conqueror", but we need to make sure we're still communicating the full intent.
 * If y'all would like to go whole hog with tables that include a "lit" column similar to what wikimon does, I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but with the current system I strongly advocate treating subtitles provided to an american audience as a form of localized name, not a lit name. 15:22, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * you could make that same argument for some of the terrible ass translations of monster and human names weve got from bandai the last few years. theyre not very good at english. plus when the 2020 subs used the name yammamon people decided that was just americans being dumb...then a few weeks later the name was yammamon as its japanese name in the reference book, with yanmamon listed as its localised english name. theyre using what is intended as the japanese names, if they were intended as english they would be matching what the english reference book uses and in the case of yammamon would've said yanmamon instead. e.g., gran tres which is used in the english localised drb.Marcusbwfc (talk) 18:47, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * We have a whole subsection dedicated to untangling the meaning behind those kind of names. We don't have that kind of real estate for attack names -- even if we did a table like wikimon, it would fall short. 23:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
