O-kay, don't hit me because this may or may not be a trivial reason to you. I'm curious about what does Waluigi and Daisy's "イージーズ" and "ふらわるズ" tag team line means in the Mario Party games. Google translates it as Ijizu and Furawaruzu but it doesn't make much sense. I try to search it up on google.co.jp images but I don't get much. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Any fluent or native Japanese speakers here? I have a hard time understanding a phrase.

I'm not Japanese, but I can tell you what they are anyway.
"イージーズ" or "Ijizu" stands for "Easys", must mean something, but I'm not sure. (Maybe Waluigi takes it easy).
"ふらわるズ" or "Furawaruzu" means "Flowers", suiting Daisy perfectly.
Note that some words like "new" and "easy" just sound good in Japanese. They use those words like in "New Super Mario Bros." just because it sounds fresh.

Furawaruzu sounds like some weird pun combining Flowers and Waluigi and perhaps something else that doesn't really work in English. Ijizu I think might come from Ijiwaru and something else.
Edit: Furawaruzu is a pun on the word flowers and trying to incorporate part of Waluigi's name. Weird Japanese pun using an english word Not really sure about the other one at all now though.

Interesting. I wonder what the "zu" part would mean for Ijizu?
I was thinking Furawaruzu might mean Wicked/Evil Flower but that doesn't really make sense.
I'm guessing it means a sort of new bonding or something not usually done?
Interesting. I thought the waru meant bad
my otp confirmed
The only Japanese I've ever known was kounichiwa (is that how you spell it? I think it means "Hello") and baka (I think that either means fool or idiot. Or even both).
Beyond that, I'm a real baka when it comes to that language. Which is why when I play an untranslated game, like Puyo Puyo or the first Project Diva on PSP, I just try to let the visuals do the talkin'.
