I know that anglicizing Japanese names written in "Engrish" is never easy, but it occurs to me that the Dustflier's Japanese name could be read as Debris Throw rather than Debris Flow. For starters, the 's' in debris is usually silent and therefore wouldn't typically be included in the phonetic Japanese word; second, 'r' and 'l' sounds are interchangeable; and third, I have seen 'su' used in Japanese to represent the 'th' sound in certain words transliterated from English. Just a thought though. --[[User:JeruTz|JeruTz]] ([[User talk:JeruTz|talk]]) 12:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

:Throw is usually written as スロー/スロウ in katakana. But in this case, there's a フ in there as well. So I think flow is the more accurate translation. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 13:44, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
