	オリヴァー - Orivā: When John speaks here, he says Noll and Oliver in English, then he pronounces Oliver in Japanese as Orivaa. The Japanese 'R' is ~~very~~ different from the English 'R'. ‘L’ as well as ‘R’ in English is usually transcribed as a Japanese ‘R’. To pronounce the 'R', the tip of your tongue lightly touches the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth.		オリヴァー - Orivā: When John speaks here, he says Noll and Oliver in English, then he pronounces Oliver in Japanese as Orivaa.

	オリヴァー・デイヴィス / オリバー・デイビス - Orivā Deivisu / Oribā Deibisu: Here, Bou-san is discussing how you would pronounce Oliver Davis in Japanese. It seems like using the バ(BA) and ビ(BI) syllables is more natural than using the ヴァ(VA) and ヴィ(VI) syllables, which involves changing the ウ(U) syllable to a ヴ(VU) using dakuten (the two dashes on the upper right of the character) and then using the small characters to specify the vowel part. Additionally, the 'U' in 'SU' is often times silent, so you end up with an 'S'.		オリヴァー・デイヴィス / オリバー・デイビス - Orivā Deivisu / Oribā Deibisu: Here, Bou-san is discussing how you would pronounce Oliver Davis in Japanese.

	アヘン戦争 - Ahen Sensou: The Opium Wars were two wars in the mid-19th century involving Anglo-Chinese disputes over British trade in China and China's sovereignty. The disputes included the First Opium War (1839–1842) and the Second Opium War (1856–1860). The wars and events between them weakened the Qing dynasty and forced China to trade with the rest of the world.		アヘン戦争 - Ahen Sensou: The Opium Wars were two wars in the mid-19th century involving Anglo-Chinese disputes over British trade in China and China's sovereignty.

Perhaps he means that Noll as it sounds in Japanese is an American pronunciation of that nickname. For this reason, I'm leaving it spelled as Naru. Again, a Japanese 'R' is not like an English 'R' and can even have an 'L' sound. So, it's not a hard 'R' sound like NAR-U, but broken into its syllables NA-RU with the 'R' being pronounced by touching the tip of your tongue lightly to roof of your mouth behind your front teeth.		ナル - Naru: Here, Bou-san says that he heard (probably from John) that ナル is an American pronunciation.
