Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog For 3D models, it is standard to make its default pose, or "T-pose", stand up straight. In the case of the Noshi dinosaur from Mario Kart: Double Dash, who always bends down, its T-pose forcefully mutilates its neck just to get it to stand up straight. Noshis are dinosaurs found in the Dino Dino Jungle track of Mario Kart: Double Dash. In-game, their necks are always bent. To create the Noshi's T-pose, it was made to stand up straight, as is standard. It looks normal from the front... ...but seeing it from the side reveals that its neck, made to be bent down, was forcefully pushed into the upright position, flattening it. Below is a diagram of how the T-pose is modified in-game (by moving five control points, or "bones") to create the actual pose used in gameplay. ource: @Peardian, models-resource.com/gamecube/mariokartdoubledash/model/74344/

It makes more sense when one thinks about the names being written in Japanese. The syllable "zi" is pronounced as "ji," which is why it is written as "ji" in the Hepburn system of romanization. In fact, "ji" can be represented as ジ or ヂ ("zi" and "di" respectively, but are both pronounced as "ji").

The problem with the Hepburn system is that it makes Japanese seem like it has more consonants than it really does. I could go into the concepts of allophony and complementary distribution, but that would take too long. What I will say is that systems like Nihon Shiki do a better job at representing the Japanese language in the Latin alphabet.
