No evidence of "Dancougar" actually being used internally rather than a fan romanization

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: The Input Code clearly spells it 'D A N C O U G A', and there's no lengthening of the sound in the title either, yet 'Dancougar' is still the most popular spelling.
** This is mostly down to the mech's head-hood being very evocative of a cougar-head (ala Anime/GoLion and its lion head), along with the rest of the animal theme. Also not helping is the fact that solo "ga" is often used to represent the soft R in a "gar" or "ger" sound, although Dancougar lacks the trailing hold that usually denotes this (e.g. ガー). Since many more casual English-speaking fans don't check kana closely, they assume it's supposed to be "ダンクーガー".
** None of this explains, of course, why "Dankuuga" isn't used at all.

** NewerThanTheyThink: Dancougar's [[CoolSword Dankuuken]] does not appear until the ''Requiem for Victims'' OVA. The Dankuukougaken goes one further, not being used until ''God Bless Dancougar''. Traditionally, SuperRobotWars titles adapting the plot will give the Dankuuken to the mech by default, and some even allow the Dankuukougaken to be unlocked as soon as you have enough money to fully upgrade the normal attack.
