Talk:Wandenreich

Transcription
A short mention, since I just saw this on the current chapters and there is no seperate page for the topic as of yet. The correct transcription for what is currently called "Iacto Arme" is the german word >>Jagdarmee<<. The meaning is of course 'hunting party' as stated somewhere... This is a literal translation of hunting army, but again since Kubo does not speak german, as is clear from some previous cases, I found it worth mentioning. The pronunciation is basically what the prior transcription reads but without the 'o' (like basic japanese wordendings on 'o' and 'u') and a longer 'e', this being the 'e' like it is pronounced in "yes" for example.

Shouldn't Jagdarmee be separated into 2 words? I looked up Jagdarmee with a translator and nothing came up. Then it gave the option of Jagd Armee which I clicked on and the translation was Hunting Army.Andrew2383 (talk) 06:27, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Our translator confirmed Kitsune's comment above (thanks for that btw Kitsune!) and stated it was Jagdarmee, one rather than two words. Looking things up on translator sites is not really the best way to go about these things as they are frequently full of errors. 11:57, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

I understand. Thanks for clearing that up.Andrew2383 (talk) 13:06, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

That's it. You can of course type words like these into an translation page, but this won't do any good. The reason is that the composed word itself does not exist. In german the sense of a composed noun will (most of the time) remain even if the composition does not exist. The rule remains for composite nouns to be written together as one word and capitalized in the beginning (like every noun or name in each sentence). The same thing would be correct for Uryū's weapon, "Seelenschneider" rather then "Seele Schneider" or "Lichtregen" but i digress. Thank you very much for fixing this!

Remind You of Anything?
I don't know about anyone else, but the use of German terms, their uniforms, their methods, and their treatment of the Arrancar reminds me an awful lot of Nazis. Should we put that in a trivia section, or wait until we get confirmation or something? Daisuke Hikari (talk) 20:39, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * No, German does not mean Nazi, this would be a highly insensitive thing to enter into articles, people forget that the first country the Nazis took over was Germany so automatically aligning German terminology with Nazis is not something that should be written here!! Besides, Quincy already used German terminology in the same way that Hollows/Arrancar use spanish!!

I'm not saying it's just the German thing, but their uniforms seem to resemble S.S. uniforms, they take the Arrancar and, from what I've heard of the newest chapter, put them in camps where they force them into labor or kill them, and the Vandenreich aims to start a second war after getting massive disproportionate retribution in a previous war. I think there is evidence for it, but seeing the reaction I got, I'm glad I went and asked first. Daisuke Hikari (talk) 01:38, April 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Stuff like this does not go into articles unless stated by Kubo.--


 * There have been many other armies or SS-like associations all over the world in history that have arrested people or taken them away, the Nazis only happened to be German!! As said, comparisons don't belong in articles unless Kubo has stated as such and besides this would be incredibly insensitive anyway!! Discussion closed!!
