I like how Japanese people call Assassin's Creed Asa Kuri. We're stuck with Ass Creed here

I don't think the Japanese abbreviation sounds so cool when you know that "asa-kuri" could also be interpreted as "morning chestnut".

Well, "kuri" is also the common way of saying "clitoris", so that may change things as well.

Sure, but that interpretation would make the game woke and political.

Yeah but the thing about Japanese is that many words sound the same so it can be a lot of things. Even the combination of syllables can sound the same than other words so know the kanjis is very important. The reason why it so important to learn to write it and why I struggle with it 😭
