English to Japanese alias creation. From "The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-" to "HUNDRED LINE -Saishuu Bouei Gakuen-"(HUNDRED LINE -最終防衛学園-), both official names.

I don't see much point in pedantically sticking to the Japanese title when the game had an international release. No one's going to remember the Japanese title instead of the English one. It means the same thing anyway.

Not that it matters, but it also matches what we do with Danganronpa (series) and Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, games made by the same creator.

Actually, the BUR is there to be consistent with the topic, @hasu_no_tokimeki. Doesn't matter if it's international either. Also, Danganronpa were the same in both Japanese and international though... as far as the franchise itself goes.

Any other questions?

I beg to differ. What part of "no English speaker will bother remembering the Japanese title" do you not understand? An international release means the only people who will use the Japanese title are Japanese people. This is just being a pedantic weeb for no real reason.

No, actually. Did you even check? Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair's Japanese title is actually Super Danganronpa 2. There was an entire topic dedicated to moving the titles to their English counterparts (topic #17762).

Also really convenient skipping over Rain Code like that. Will you alias that one too? To the Japanese title no one remembers?
