The T isn't silent.

Yes it is

Wait. The "T" in Tsunami is silent?

Tsunami is a Japanese word (津波) which would be pronounced tsu(つ)-na(な)-mi(み). So in theory no, the t isn't silent - although tsu and su sound very similar so I suspect over time English has just evolved to drop the t in some places.

No, its the s which is silent. And it is spelled Toonami.

Yup.

Had the same thought.. I never heard someone say sunami

I feel like those are the same people that pronounce Yahtzee as yah-zee. And psh, I'll tell ya what, there's no character in Naruto named Lady Sunade.

I think older people and people who don't consume a lot of Japanese media do it. That's why it annoyed me when they changed a Fire Emblem character with the same sound in his name. Tsubaki to Subaki.

I've never heard a weeb say it with a T, because it's silent.
Every English speaker says sunami

Is the S silent or the C in "scent"?

So you say Q-e-ue or something like that?
3
Q is exactly the same as Queue
2
It's not though. Saying the letter q and using q as part of a word are different. When used in a word, the letter q makes a k or kw sound.

Not silent. Supposedly working on it.
