It looks like ニフテリザ is an approximation thereof, since Japanese doesn't have the guttural χ/kh phoneme. (Not sure why "da" got shifted to "za", besides good old-fashioned "just because".) Maybe Nychteriza? There's no "sh" phoneme in Greek that I'm aware of, so I couldn't even suggest how to Hellenize(?) the spelling of "Shaaru".</p> Moonspeaker /users/124541 tag:danbooru.me,2005:Comment/1789778 2018-02-07T10:08:29-05:00 2018-02-07T10:08:29-05:00 <img src="/cdn_image/preview/c7/2e/c72e44a94c6383160eb5ddbe65c05a1a.jpg"/> <p>The bat girl’s name is ニフテリザ・シャール (Nifuterize Shaaru).
