So Japanese game makers sometimes misspell things. It happens, right? Sometimes it's even funnier when their misspellings sound like inappropriate words.
On the Web page for the strategy RPG Chumon Shiyouze! Oretachi no Sekai, the katakana for one of the links reads batoru. That's "battle" to you and I. Unfortunately, their incorrect English reads BUTTOLE. Hitting the link reveals even more buttole.
Here's some clever usage of the mispelling:
- The buttole system looks deep.
- No one likes a tough buttole.
- You should equip yourself before buttole.
- You have been slain in buttole.
Source insertcredit makes a good point: "battle" is very commonly used in Japanese games. What happened here?
Is this the webmaster's Fruedian slip, a reflection on how he feels about the game's battle system?

I wish I could speed through this butthole.
I wish I could skip the buttholes and see the story D:
All this intense buttholling has made me tired!
I am far from highbrow but this is something 5 year old boys giggle about in the school yard. If you do not have anything to post... DONT POST. I heard Dale is upping the ante with his next post. We can look forward to mario birthday cakes.
Now if you excuse me I'm on my way to a serious buttole
Also, Engrish is becoming a very distinct hysterical language, important for amusement on the intrawebs right before one goes off to work.
Player 2 has equipped buttole axe.
You have died in buttole.
I love the smell of buttole in the morning.
(Alright that's enough from me)
Oh man! I shouldn't be reading this in class! I just about peed my pants laughing!
