> I dont think you should change it, even if it was some kind of translation error or something. everyone knows them as pierrot now so the page will be easier for people to find if you keep the title.

That's my biggest worry, too. And I fear /a/ will perpetuate this when an anon translates chapters of the sequel (for giggles). I'll at least leave redirects, but it doesn't change the fact that this is mainly a mistranslation.

Personally, I have to say that Imperial Scans' translation of the last chapter might turn out to be a disservice. The translation was mostly good, but they got the crucial lines wrong. Including the biggest tell that Kaneki is most likely alive. Because of that, I already see people screaming that Kaneki's reappearance is an asspull.

> plus, i think they were mostly referred to as "clowns" throughout the manga because every time they were spoken about, it was very vague. nobody even knew they were a thing until the end.

That's incorrect, CCG obviously knew they were a group. They even sent Arima to deal with them, what bigger hint is there that they considered them an extremely dangerous group? I suspect Kaneki knew that, too, from his reaction when he was in Itori's bar. Ogura called them the "Clown Mask Ghoul Gang" in his book. And I also always thought that they were a group, too.
