Not pronouncing the J? Well, why would they inlude a J if it was meant to be silent? Remember, this is a Japanese game and this is the exact same subtitle as the Japanese game.

I say it like the second one you have there. "Mah-jor-ah". Yes, I do put the emphesise on the second syllable. It doesn't sound like a normal word, but I'd say it's about as natural as the name of the mask of insane calamity is going to get. *randomly dances like a Russian while screeching* Sounds good to me that way. That other way, with the u's... Sounds... well... hic-like.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
