Sabão Spray (Freezing)?

[Ellethwen]

I've been wondering, for a while, why some people call Mercury's "Bubble Spray (Freezing)" attack "Sabão Spray (Freezing)". I've always clearly heard her say "Bubble" (Not "Sabão") and it seems weird to have a tilde over an a, as well.

I've also seen it spelled as "Shabon", so maybe it's jut a pronounciation thing?

So, any reason? And, if sabão is a word, what language is it and what does it mean?

"Sabão" means "soap" in Portuguese, but the romanization in Japanese is like "Shabon." It's sort of like how "Sailor" is romanized "Sera," but we still go with the English spelling instead of the Japanese version of it, because that is what was intended.

Great question!

it is at least in the ep mercury first appears on my subs translated as bubble, but i do know others are not neccessary so
i thought i heard her say bubble too and though i knew the words were meant to be the same more or less, i thought it weird to translate it like that when the rest is't
