hey so why does everyone act concerned about ryo(u) bakura not being called ryo and not even???? remember that jounouchi is literally never called by his first name by anyone except for his mom to the point that 4kids made his new first name based off of his last name like??? 

jounouchi is his family name from his dad’s side 

his personal name is katsuya. not even honda/tristan (that could be another rant tbh) and yugi call him katsuya. hes just jounouchi. 

i might be missing something but?? i guess his names cool and all but youd think he’d be familiar enough with at least someone except for his mom (who is the only person as far as ive noticed to call him katsuya) to be able to be on a first name basis. 

then again im probably just looking way too far into things and its just because his name as jounouchi is whats iconic for him idk. 

Actually, about 4Kids:

The story I once hear, a long time ago, is that they named him Joey to keep with the friendship theme that his and Yuugi’s name represent (ie YuuJou)

4 Kids dubbers are Wishshippers 😆
