電/稲妻 is written as いなづま. The 'zu' in her more commonly written English transliteration is actually pronounced with a 'd' sound (not sure if 'dzu' makes much sense to people), so 'Inaduma' is correct here. 'Inazuma' isn't wrong here either, since we usually write づ as 'zu' for romanization purposes.

The 'z' just helps non-native speakers to pronounce it more easily since I'd expect them to pronounce it as 'ee-nah-doo-mah' if written as 'Inaduma'. But yeah, I can't help but think it looks funny as 'Inaduma'.

And it seems due to the Romanization scheme they've chosen.Nihon-shiki (ISO-3602 strict) gives a 1-1 translation between English and Japanese
