I guess the "Jizabel/Jezebel" thing is like "Light/Raito" for Death Note (I can't stand when people say Raito by the way). Plus, this is the woman that named a character "Riffael". I figure since the manga says it's Jizabel, that's probably thway it's supposed to be pronounced. I just wanted other peoples' views. Thanks for the explanations!

While "Light" is the official name for the character and "Raito" is just the romanji for it, I dont think there was ever an official printing of Jezebel's name, they only call him Dr. Disraeli.
So I think Viz was just taking the safe route by translating literally what they saw in the manga instead of making assumptions, but I think Jezebel is a pretty logical and safe assumption to make.
The writer in me kinda giggles and thinks "JezABLE" ...thus completing the reference to the parable of Cain and Able that runs through the God Child. story

Wow XD That's something I would do...lol Now every time I see Jizable in the manga I'm gonna automatically think of that
(Geh. Now I'm all confused with names >.<)
