They transliterated it as English: “Great” being written like “Go Ra To” or something similar instead of using the Kanji 大 pronounced as “Dai”. Same with Sword, they wrote it like “Sa Do” or something, instead of 剣 pronounced as “Ken”.
When I took a geometry test in eighth grade, I got a point deducted because I wrote ASS instead of SSA (side-side-angle) when calculating angles and side lengths of a triangle. Still got the right answer though
Fantastic sub format for anime.
I wonder why “great” and “sword” need to be Katakana
Loanwords
I know, but why? Not trying to be a hater but why not just use the native words?
Same reason some English people will use Japanese words? I don’t know.
Then why respond?
I didnt know if you knew the loan word thing.
Why ask?

Because it sounds like English words which is “cool”
Eyy I just watched Red Ranger, extremely enjoyable for how stupid it is. I bet I’d have loved power rangers if I watched it as a kid
I watched too much of power rangers on TV as a child.
As a result, I don’t find the anime enjoyable.
Even though the premise was fun, I just couldn’t tolerate it enough to feel the fun.
Why is that not ASA? Or even ASSA.
Because they knew exactly what they were doing, obviously.
Because ASS.
Because substation alpha is SSA so they just reversed it.
Because it’s funny.

Oh, wonderful, teachers who punish kids for being kids and/or making mistakes.
In a “show your workings” questions it makes sense.
There’s no difference between SSA and ASS in that context so it’s pointless to punish a student for that
Right in the nostalgia! Happiness is a warm genlock…
