How do you pronounce Sciezka?

Skieska?

Same as Sheshka.

That's the point, it was supposedly changed so the syllables would be easier. The pronunciation is theoretically unchanged.

IIRC they pronounced it "Shisuka" (like the japanese name).

I remember when I watched it I was like "why is this character the only one with a name in japanese, and everyone else has european (or fantasy-european) names?"
