the reason is translation,
when translating manga or comic from a foreign language you come in contact with names like that. its difficult mainly becuase the name means something in japanese may not be the same in english which is why we go tongue twisted :lol: but also it could be preference becuase the manga translater will use the original name or will use the common name for the character this is quiet common as well.

Audience: EPUSHIRON! HAHA! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Dr. O'Shay: Stop making fun of other robots!
Dr. Temna: Kill them, Epsilon! Or they will kill you.
Epsilon: A sense a strange person is among us.
Astro: No, thats Temna, and I must stop him!
Dr. O'Shay: Now STOp or I'll personally wipe you all out with my NOSE!!!
Atlas: Nice try, O'Shay.

Sales Person: Red Bull gives you wings!
Epsilon: Sorry, I already have wings!
From that day on the salesperson hated robots.

Salesperson: Red bull gives you wings! You could take to the skies and fly to the MOON!
Child: Wow!
*Child drinks Red Bull and jumps out window and falls and gets injured*
Epsilon: I already have wings!
News reporter: Today Red Bull has been sued for false advertising, that "Red Bull gives people wings"

If you don't know what I'm talking about, theres a advertising campaign here in Australia called "Red Bull gives you wings" One of the ads can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8O3JOk7ZtM&feature=related

Anyone notice how Epsilon's wings don't move? But you can't expect them to move, or the Illustrators will have a rough night...
