Could someone comment on the meanings of Nobi vs Noubi? Is it a reference to something?
His line of thinking is something like this:
"His name should be Black...no, B." Then the dragon dad misheard Takeru's 2nd guessing himself, together with his muttering the initial of "Black", as "Black Noubi/Black Nobi" ...at least that's how I understood it.
Edit:
Took a look at the raws. It said "Black no B" in transliterated english.
The
"の/no" being a denoting word to point to a clause or phrase in Japanese similar to
"the". So in conclusion, he suggested his name to be: "Black
B." with "B" being his nickname. Although if I were the one translating it to be more understandable to English-speaking readers, I'd use my first guess to substitute the meaning that would have been lost in translation.
