The katakana reads "Doreddorokku" So Nevermore was accurate in his translation.

You don't need to "translate" that. You just need to look up the Katakana characters, replace them with the respective Romaji equivalents and then try to find a more "western" spelling for the pronunciation.

Feel free to quit trolling in News at any time. If you'd bother even perusing the site here, you might notice DrSpengler's contributed Japanese character profiles (that he translated) as well as translating several mangas.
Bottomline - You're a dumbass and you couldn't be more wrong. Deal with it or shut it. Well, someone's gotta fill in for Matt... |

Okay, that was a little harsh from Auros, but seriously. I speak some Japanese (specifically, I know Katakana, the alphabet in which names [including these] are written), and I can confirm that "Jet Rock" is actually Dreadlock/Dreadrock. Japanese translations are often prone to some subjectivity, simply due to the nature of the language. An example of acceptable subjectivity is arbitrarily choosing -lock or -rock, since there is only one character corresponding to both the "la" and "ra" sounds. However, it is unacceptable to change "do-re-do" to "je-to" (noting that, after a T or D, O's in Japanese are silent unless otherwise noted), and so it must be a mistranslation. Refer to that link Nevermore gave if you still don't believe me.
(As an aside, I think it's really interesting that you have such odd standards on truth.) Quote:

Wing Omega Convoy needs to shut up - I learnt a bit of japanese back in the day and Doreddorokku pretty much screams Dreadlock to me...
Would he/she also say that "Supa modo" or however it's spelt said something different to super mode??? Wake up jackass. |

Seriously whats in a name. It'll be sorted out soon enough instead of yourslef, Wing Omega Convoy, going about causing arguments.
If you think you and only your word counts in this world... get a life.
