How is this "extreme Engrish"? It's Latin and Italian. I can't decide, if it's ranguage, because my Latin is rusted and my Italian not existent.

Well, they called Bruno Buccellati "Blono".

To be fair his name in katakana is spelled ブローノ, Burono.

It's the same with Wham/Wamuu.

Oh, for sure. But imo, that's exactly what makes it extreme engrish. They could have at least been consistent and spelt it Burono, but instead they split the different and went Blono.

Not really, I'd take someone spelling Polnareff's name as "Paulnareph" or even "BonerAF" any day over "Porunarefu".

It's not engrish merely because the artist simply didn't look up how the official romanization is spelled. It doesn't actually reflect anything on the artist's skills or lack thereof of the English language, which is what the engrish tag is supposed to represent.

If anything Burono would be more engrish because it just means the artist doesn't even recognize that an Italian character name needed to be romanized.

Oh, good point.

The Italian part is "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" (Le bizzarre avventure di GioGio), followed by "Golden Wind". The 'Latin' text in the background is just Lorem Ipsum gibberish.

But yeah, neither ranguage (don't think Lorem Ipsum counts) nor "extreme Engrish".

(Blono is an incorrect romanization resulting in a nonsensical-sounding name [especially if you're familiar with Romance language names], but it isn't egregious enough. Now, if it ended up as Ballno instead, then...)
