2.) I'm not quite sure which part of it you're asking about — either way, it's just an observation. アラム(の門) is written the same way as アラム語, the Japanese way of writing Aramaic, the language of Aram, and I don't think that's a coincidence, especially given that Zilkhistan is vaguely middle-eastern. (If it's supposed to be "near" Pakistan and India, it's actually just to the east of what we consider "the middle east" in our world, but CG's alternate history also means that lines of distinction like that might not fall in the same place anyway, and that's even before we get into "Sunrise might've just made a mistake".)
Really, I'm just trying to explain why I eschewed the spelling the wikia used ("Aramu Gate"), even though I imagine it comes from official subtitles. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong to do so, even if I'm right about the intent behind the name (D.Gray-man's author once explained that yes, her character was 'inspired by' Aleister Crowley, but he isn't the same person, so his name is spelled Arystar Krory) (or, hey, Ledo/Redo from Lancelot & Guren has had his name spelled two different official ways now), but barring an official explanation of the spelling from Sunrise I'm fairly confident about this connection, and sticking with this spelling for now. 😃
3.) Well, I'm not arguing with you, because I believe you that that's what the character says in the movie, but that is truly ridiculous. 😂 Good job, Sunrise. (I've now edited the TN to be more what I meant the first time — that is, 'he' is the stronger bet for a genderless pronoun in this scene — but I hope folks will scroll down and see your comment. 😃)
