Other than my say-so, do we have a source for the claim that someone born in Detroit, Michigan was born in the United States?
Hiragana is unambiguous. You can look up exactly what it is. When you look it up you get "Tessaiga", not "Tetsusaiga". It doesn't take any interpretation to do so. There are no serious claims that the Japanese version doesn't say "Tessaiga".
