Looks like Masna.  Those silly guys!

Also, WTF does it say in the moon language that's above the N and A?

Masnya or Masaya. Everyone says Masaya,but the y looks like its part of a "n" like they tried to be stylish,but the n could be a "a" too. .

The katakana is "me-sa-i-ya."

It never even crossed my mind that slanted line was supposed to be an "i". I always read it as "a" since it looks identical to the two other "a"s in the word.

I wonder why they forgot the first a... from the katakana "sa"

I always thought that it was Masiya, but pcecp.com says that it's Masaya.

On a side note: I checked my Japanese Double Dungeons manual for a correct spelling, but no dice (no English); when I checked my US version, I found that the manual is in French.  I bought it a couple of years back from TZD, but apparently never opened the manual; now I wonder if I have any more Canuck versions.

Hah, I never noticed the N resemblence before! I've always been pronouncing it the correct way "Masaiya" ever since I heard someone pronounce it that way.

I used to call it Masna for years upon years, but some time ago, I somehow figured out it was Masaya. #-o

Well, they didn't use romaji to transliterate the English word (as mentioned above, then it would've been メサイヤ - MESAIYA. 

All the Japanese websites spell it as "MASIYA".

Kinda looks like they wanted to be "Messiah" but screwed it up  :)

That's kana for " (it) scales and rotates on Target Earth". 馬鹿外人...

That pic is actually from Target Earth, but I removed the stars with a space-age program called something like "Adobe Photoshop".  I didn't want people to know that I got that logo from a freakin' Genesis game.  I am so ashamed now.  :(

I agree, those Japanese foreigners are foolish!

We all know Redifer loves the genesis, haha. I found out he was the mod at some sega forum. I bet he is sharpening his genesis mod golden axe for your battle  :wink:

That would be awesome if Keranu and I got into some epic battle, continuously banning each other in their respective forums.

With that pegasus star thing, maybe they wanted people to associate them with Saint Seiya.
