This should be obvious to anyone looking into the name. メガカンテラ means "Mega Lantern" and Kantera means Lantern, the regular lantern ghosts are called "Kantera-kun" in Japanese and their official translated name is "Lantern Ghost". Calling Mega Kantera, "Mega Lantern Ghost" makes logical sense. I ask this to be changed because this is going to confuse people that look at these pages, see what is clearly a variant of the Ghost Lantern but it's named like it's Japanese translation.--[[User:Sgt.

Name Change to Mega Lantern Ghost?
This should be obvious to anyone looking into the name. メガカンテラ means "Mega Lantern" and Kantera means Lantern, the regular lantern ghosts are called "Kantera-kun" in Japanese and their official translated name is "Lantern Ghost". Calling Mega Kantera, "Mega Lantern Ghost" makes logical sense. I ask this to be changed because this is going to confuse people that look at these pages, see what is clearly a variant of the Ghost Lantern but it's named like it's Japanese translation.--Sgt.
