Isn’t the official name Puck? This is like the crappy Berserk scanlations all over again!


No.


in my local dub,they say "Puck".They just can't decide...


His name is written as pack in Japanese. It is pronounced pa as in part or papa.
So pack is correct spelling and Puck is correct pronunciation.

Here's an article you might find enlightening: https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-problem-with-l-r-and-other-letters-in-japanese-translation/
Either one is potentially correct, depending upon the intent of the original author, but even he might not know for sure if he's not particularly skilled in English and not familiar with the English version of the source material he's referencing.
