No, that doesn't work at all. the closest you could get is 悪いじ waruiji, but that's just bad ji, which can't mean person, and it still doesn't elongate the i as it is in ワルイージ warui-ji. a bad person would be 悪い人 waruijin. Even then, you'd say hito instead of jin at the end
Waluigi is just a stupid character. And really, the Japanese explanation is interesting but I don't buy it because Mario and Luigi are simply not Japanese names.
Yes, but they are being transliterated into Japanese modified, based on Japanese, then transliterated into English.
At first Mario did not have a name. He was known as simply Jumpman, a man whose pet Donkey Kong escaped, stole his girlfriend, and just went around being a dick.
Come the 2D plumber game Mario Bros (the arcade version), they gave him a name, Mario. It was the name of the landlord of the Nintendo of America building, and apparently the landlord somewhat resembled the video game character.
As for Luigi, Nintendo of America also developed him. Some of the Nintendo people liked a pizza parlor near their offices called "Mario and Luigi's". And history is born.
And, Nintendo of Japan accepted the American suggestions, because the American teams knew the power of Gaijin Smash.
That's kinda what I tried to say when I said that quite simply, Mario and Luigi are not Japanese names and consequently it's kinda stupid to apply Japanese explanations to non-Japanese names.
And really, it's kinda obvious that the 'Wa' in Wario is just Mario upside down. At least that's how I see it.

Considering the new names were NOT created in America but in Japan, I think the explanation is quite relevant. That's like saying that any English pun that uses a loan word has nothing to do with English.
Is there some super-special-awesome admin power that allows admins to change someone signature? If so I vote that we remove the picture signature by any means necessary! FOR THE GOOD OF THE BELT!
I dont think kioso posts frequently enough to notice that we dont like it. I remember people have responded to his posts with "pic sigs suck" before, but it seems like he hasnt noticed.
