English title[]

It seems that Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway is what Sunrise are calling the movie.

Was there any official instance of the novel having the English title "Hathaway's Flash" or is this just a fan translation that's become popular? I've seen it translated as "Bright Hassaway" sometimes.--FortressMaximus #WeLoveLegends (Talk) Sign 21:52, March 24, 2020 (UTC)


Hathaway's Flash has been the longstanding translation for it, fan translation or not. Engrish versions included Bright Hassaway (Mobile Suit Illustrated 2006) and Hassaway in the Brilliant (Mobile Suit Illustrated 2015). For what it's worth, the first teaser which was released on the Gundam Narrative Blu-ray does say "Hathaway's Flash" as a translation (this is also present in the menu option as well).
Speaking of English, I'd hold off on the page changing the spelling of Mufti to Mafty. The trailer subtitles seemed to have been presented in haste, much like the ones for Narrative were, so it's likely they'll change. I'm sure Mark Simmons is already arguing over the spelling. Mafty doesn't make sense for spelling since it's supposed to be a blend of Sudanese and what not according to the novel. Deackychu (talk) 01:31, March 26, 2020 (UTC)

Regardless, this should have used the page move, not manually cutting the novel content and pasting it to a newly created Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash (Novel) page.

I propose, "Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash" be the novel article again and "Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway" be the movie article. While we historically given anime articles the plain name even if they were adapted from existing material and moved their original pages (e.g. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin (Manga)), the novel and the movie conveniently have different English names, so I think we should use it, that and many existing articles that link to this page are probably referring to the novel, which is in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children's continuity. --FortressMaximus #WeLoveLegends (Talk) Sign 02:31, April 4, 2020 (UTC)
