Maybe I might just be stupid but is Esdeath a nickname Shura uses? I personally prefer Esdese much more than Esdeath. Answers would be nice! Thanks

It's an "official" change in how the name's being translated/interpreted I suppose.

Psylocke Scans took over for Animum Mutare and I believe that was something that they decided on.

Thanks for clearing that up, but I still prefer Esdese.

Yeah, me too. I think more than anything I've just gotten used to the old name..........I'm kinda forcing myself to use/think the new one so I can get used to it.

Esdese actually makes much more sense than Esdeath because her name is supposed to be based on the phrase "S" Desu, which means "I am an S(Sadist)" from what I've been told.

Mmm.....well, I guess the author gets the final word in this case  (http://vatoto.com/read/_/253801/akame-ga-kill_v11_ch50_by_psylocke-scans) .....

All names are pronounced the same, the only difference is spelling, LOL these spellings make for very different pronouncations, not that I know how to pronounce most such asian names, but phonetically very very different. Especially the R turned L thing and A turned U. Well I hear R doesn't exist in asian languages, so I suppose they were always meant to be pronounced with a L? What different sounds though to change yet still say it's the same.
