You really do not know what Tornado Heracleo is about.
Firstly, both "Heracleo" and "Herculeo" are correct : on the box itself, TAKARA-TOMY wrote "Herculeo", but the way it is written in Katakana has always been "Herakureo", which is really different from the way "Herculeo" is pronounced.
Furthermore, the "leo" is indeed supposed to be there because it is a play on word on how apparently, in the legend, Hercules wore a lion head and back on his head, and both the Face mark and the Clear Wheel of Heracleo illustrate that.
"Heracles" exists too, if you did not know.
O.k., you´re right, but i don´t wanna became this post and the forum in a "discussion" about what many marketing and toys wants to give a name with a deplorable acknowlegdments about what/was/where/why and when this "characters" are named reading a Wikipedia or any other "that´s said" artifacts wich many manufacturers based on to recreated a huge wrong history line or animes.
Anyway, this discussion is out of beyblade issues, are in a field more complex about history that suposse some years of study, you know...
So maybe i´m not have any idea about how figures T.T., Hasbro or whatever...their marketing pourposses, but for a bachelor this kinda names and manipulated names/history result ridiculous; so i have a very strong idea and acknowledments whar Hércules meaning in our history. With all the respect about oriental tradition i preffer to forget this marketing mistakes because i understand that is part of the business, that´s all.
I admire that they try to give the product/game an educational way but this is very difficult and weird, so one point for T.T. to try, all my respect, but is awful... hahha!!
I registered here to learn more about beyblade taking part instead of only read, is a game, a passion, whatever, but not precisely a real way to study history, but a good way to make childs take some interest in that.
Sorry this long post, and again sorry my poor english. Is difficult for me explain this writing it to understand that my actitude is just funny and fine, i don´t want to discuss or compete in anyway. I hope this would be undestand for anybody as a simple positive tread.
Best regards and salute!!!
