History Trivia / Blame

* OldShame: Recent translations of ''Blame!'' try to move away from calling the protagonist "Killy". Although the subtitles of the 2017 Netflix movie call him Killy, the English dub is very insistent on pronouncing his name as "Kiri", and the translation of the manga's Master Edition spells it "Kyrii".
