We use Ripple to stay consistant with every other word we translate from Japanese here, such as Spin (Kaiten). Keeping it as Hamon doesn't make sense when its a Tibetan martial art used by British people. Generally, If Araki wants something to be spelt a certain way, he writes it out in Katakana or furigana. The official subs leave it as Hamon because they want to treat it like a stereotype.
