it just dawned on me that they're calling him Fujimula, is that supposed to be intentional? like they aren't able to fully pronounce his name, or is that just a translation mistake

Yeah, it's intentional. It's a common shorthand in translated Japanese media that take place in foreign lands/worlds, to show the out-of-placeness that any foreign concepts tend to bring.

In this specific case, remember that Japanese doesn't have an "el" (L) sound, and so the hoops they have to jump through to phonetically transliterate that sound are stupidly many.

I really like this manga, but im kinda getting boring of so so many "better watch out, this guy is a pretty big deal..." to then cut out to instant loss the evil dude and then moving on.
maybe im wrong and the evil guy here will be a match for fujimura, but lets see.

I think that some company that name starts with "M" and ends with "kita" should invest in this manga (if they don't do it right now)

It's intentional haha. His name is rendered in katakana when spoken by the characters from the isekai world (as opposed to when he himself references it, or when it's on signs or the side of his van, in which case it's in kanji). I thought, since the isekai-dwelling characters can't read kanji, it would be amusing to present this difference by having them not be able to pronounce Fujimura properly, hence Fujimula.
