Considering that he has a proper name beyond just being Drum's father, Fang Slade Terrestrial XIII, shouldn't that be his name instead...?

I don't know much about Future Card Buddyfight. How well known is his real name? I'm wondering if the canonical name might be part of a throwaway joke like how meow_(space_dandy) is actually named "Me#$%*" (pronounced Merowmreowreow) [EDIT: actually I guess the name is reals name is Mymyamo? I'm seeing some conflicting info] and how Mao Mao has the full name Mao Mao Mao. To be fair, for the latter, we actually DO tag it as sheriff_mao_mao_mao, so maybe canonical names that are basically jokes are allowed?

If the name is in no way a joke and is well-known among fans, disregard this comment.

At the very least, it's not just an arbitrary name drop. Drum first introduces himself as the son of Drum Bunker Dragon, Fang Slade Terrestrial XIII, and later, when his father comes to Earth, Drum brings up again that his father is Fang Slade Terrestrial XIII.
It's common for the dragons in FCB to have a title, and then their name. In the case of Drum's family, Drum Bunker Dragon is a title and Fang Slade Terrestrial is a name.

With that being said, I'm not saying Drum's name should be changed, because he is definitely known better as Drum Bunker Dragon, or Drum because most characters don't want to say his whole name. But his dad? He's generally either called "Drum's dad/father" or "Fang Slade Terrestrial XIII". I think the only place that calls him Drum Bunker Dragon Father is his card. Even the wiki page used for the alias request opts for using his full name on the majority of it, for what that's worth.

Alright, thanks for the info! I changed my vote to "meh" because this sounds complicated.

That actually was my idea for it, but first I wanted to put the long "nickname" then request the real name alias. Just to cover the whole possible aliases.
