Memento

Mementoal Tecuhtlica – Combined Creation
Mementotlan-Horned Dragon
Mementotlan Tatsunootoshigo
Mementotlan Dark Blade
Mementotlan Angwitch
Mementotlan Mace
Mementotlan Goblin
Mementomictlan
Mementotlan Bone Party
Mementotlan Bone Back
Mementotlan Fracture Dance
Mementotlan Cranium Burst

Note: The localized key word still appears to be Memento, but the monsters and S/T seem to be combining Mictlan more directly to Memento.

Centur-Ion

Centur-Ion Primera
Centur-Ion Trudea
Centur-Ion Emeth VI
Centur-Ion Legatia
Stand Up Centur-Ion!
Emblema Oath
Centur-Ion Bonds
Centur-Ion Phalanx
Centur-Ion True Awakening

Note: The theme’s name was likely localized this way to make it more ‘brandable’, but also to future proof it against Armatos Legio Centurion which is written with different Katakana.

Vaalmonica

Angello Vaalmonica
Dimonno Vaalmonica
Duralume, Vaalmonican Heathen Hallow
Zebufera, Vaalmonican Hallow Heathen
Vaalmonica, the Agathokakological Voice
Vaalmonica Scelta
Vaalmonica Versare
Vaalmonica Intonare
Vaalmonica Followed Rhythm
Vaalmonica Chosen Melody

Note: The theme’s name is emphasizing a reference to Baal, the hallowed god of the Canaanites who became a heathen force as the worshippers of El (later JHVH) became more prominent in the region. The localization does drown out the “Armonica” reference, a glass harp invented by Benjamin Franklin that was commented as sounding like an angel, but its music was also profaned as corrupting one’s mind like a demon.
