That sound doesn't exist in English. You have people on here arguing over two incorrect pronunciations. Whether they say rye or ree it isn't correct. It's a like Kyu (q) in that the y sound is merged into the same sylable as the consonent. There is no vowel in between the onset and the u sound. Without practice English speakers cannot make that sound because it doesn't exist in their language. It's different than the tsu sound which does exist, but isn't present at the start of words in English. The Ryu sound is simply not present (neither is Ryo or Kyo).

But again it isn't really worth worrying about because you shouldn't be expected to pronounce foreign names correctly in your native language.

dude, please, stfu

i remember you posting nonsense in a topic i made about how "sekiro" is pronounced too

you're clearly hella language-incompetent

-

for one, native english speakers can make the sound, i.e. it is very phonetically pronounceable in english

second, nobody is expecting people to be able to pronounce it 100% authentically, but if you're a native english speaker, then just saying 'ryoo' (which, as i already mentioned, is totally within your means) is 95% of the way there
