Massive thanks to everybody who are helping out here. 


What do you think about this?
@Damage3245 @Elizhaa @Starter_Pack @Sir_OvensI would like to request a renaming of the following two profiles:
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Sosuke_Aizen
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Ichibē_Hyōsube
Specifically, I'd like to change:
So in either case, I'd change the macron letters. This change would be in accordance with a similar name change recently adopted on the Bleach Wiki, since those romanizations with macron letters were erroneous.
- Sosuke -> Sousuke"
- Ichibē -> Ichibe'e"
To briefly explain, the name So-u-suke (惣右介) has clear morpheme boundaries between the different kanji, and morphemes (in this case So-u) are never contracted with a macron when separated by a clear word border like that. It's actually the same reason for why Orihime Inoue is written like that, instead of Inōe. For "Ichibe'e" it's the same deal. Since it's three kanji separated by clear word borders (一兵衛), contracting the long vowel with a macron (ē) would be wrong.
Thank you in advance for your help!
