Full name

It has come to my understanding that Bla-Bla is a shortening for Black Blood (as the japanese language always spells words taken from the english language homophonically, having the word "blood" shortened to "bla" makes sense). I've got this badly edited pic (sorry for the inconvenient size; and the lines with the same color correspond to each other) to (hopefully) prove it. During the two times when ブラックブラッドだん (Burakku Buraddo Dan, Black Blood Gang) gets mentioned, the texts were way too close to the gutter (a more convenient scanning method would be much appreciated :/), but fortunately, one manages to compensate for the other. Anyhow, this isn't something which I've crazily and suddenly come up with at the spot. If you Google it, there are a couple of instances where it gets mentioned (for example, Lost Levels and Wikipedia). I don't know if this should replace the current article name, as it in-game only gets referred to as Bla-Bla Gang (japanese version should be checked though), and game quotes are usually considered to be more canon. I'd just like to have this noted, anyhow. ~ Sun Braid 07:43, 15 May 2011 (MDT)

Certainly note and explain it, though I agree that the page name should remain as it is. Miles (talk) 08:55, 15 May 2011 (MDT)
