Knowing this, I'd translate his name to "Rool".

Ho ho? Story's going into a more interesting place than I thought

Edit: I wonder if naming characters with this kind of pun could work in English comic, since there's probably some language barrier for Japanese to keep it from being too... odd?

Then again, the manga is already in English, so that doesn't really matter. If this works, then it should work well enough for English comic, TV show, or even novel.

Thanks for the chapter!

So, Rule is previous Judge or something? It would make sense, since even Bojji couldn't beat him.

I guess the judges are undead/some kind of meat puppet hence why the infamous death spell had no effect on them.

JP gets a lot mileage because their writing system has basically 3 alphabets. So even in "normal" manga characters names usually use kanji that symbolize something, like Bakugou from MHA using the kanji for "explosion" in his name.

Characters names in Ousama use Katakana which is typically used for foreign words, though a lot of times the word only sounds vaguely similar to the English word like here Ruuru=Rule. This sometimes leads to some funny situations like (Non OR related) "ミイラ" (Miira) which sounds like Mirror but actually means Mummy.

So this is implied that Ruru (honestly, Rule is a cooler name, gonna call him that) was a former clown ousama ranking dude that got rired of all the BS..Also something weird is going with his body, probably that he has no pulse

 

[darkblade210]

He looked more like a god to me. Would be cool if he was a former ranker tho

 

[keatsta]

Poor Rule... He's gonna feel awful having killed all those poor sick people...
