I don’t know why it would be any more deserving of backlash when Takara Tomy is using Lord in a way that isn’t referencing religion. People use “lord” when saying “Lords and Ladies” in a movie kingdom setting as well as having people called landlords nowadays that have nothing to do with God.
They'd be better off with calling it "King", but maybe they have plans using that along with "Queen" and "Jack" lol
Though Lord Spriggan already sounds intimidating and cool, maybe they could've named it Supreme Spriggan and tied-in with the label for a limited-edition Bey, but that's besides the point.
It might still be "Load", because when you read katakana it will be pronounced as "ro-do" with the "ro" being a long vowel and "do" having short sound like "saw". That's the thing with Japanese pronunciation, cuz their "L"s and "R"s tend to mix up (and how they say it is something like "rlr", like saying "R" with a weak tongue) and they have to write down the word using English alphabet for it to make sense for non-Japanese.
It could also be "Road" since it is also sounds like "Load" in Japanese? We'll just have to wait for them to release the boxart and check the English equivalent as canon.
