Talk:Hachigen Ushōda

Hachigen's mask has been confirmed to not be a plain mask with goggle eyes. Should we change it to unknown until the recent chapter comes out? Ninken 18:15, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Which is it?
In the synopsis section it says that he cut off the heads of the gillians using his levitating sword but in his abilities section it says that he used his barrier. I don't remember seeing his sword at all after the second page of chapter 366.


 * He only used the barriers. Most of the Vizards didn't use their swords after that one page where they drew them. LapisScarab 04:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

It has been taken out as its obviously wrong.Salubri 04:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Swordsmanship Specialist
How is he a "Swordsmanship Specialist"? That implies he has concentrated in development in swordsmanship. He clearly is a kidou specialist with knowledge of swordsmanship. Not a "swordsmanship specialist". Tinni 11:20, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

He is considered a swordsmanship specialist on parameters of having trained in a formalized military the fact that he is not listed as any particular skill in it (expert/master) signify's his lack of use, but he still possesses a zanpakuto like any shinigami, so therefore has some knowledge of its use. All Shinigami have some level of Swordsmanship and if you had read the zanjutsu article you would know that the term the way it is listed means that he has no real skill in it.Salubri 15:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

'Bakuda'
Hey guys, I was reading the article and I noticed that somebody had written 'bakuda,' as opposed to 'bakudou' or 'bakudō'

I was wondering if this was done for any particular reason, or if it was just a mistake. If it was the latter, we should probably look for it in any other articles. :/

The correct was bakudō and not Bakuda or bakudou as we are western based we dont elongate the word by using the japanese form. Having said that there are times when in the course of writing and updating the articles that people dont have the time or remember to put the accent mark above the o.Salubri 16:02, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, 'bakudou' would be a correct romanized version of the word as it produces the same effect as 'o' with a macron over i. Both are used frequently, which is why I mentioned both. Although using 'ō' is standard in the Hepburn system of romanization, one of the many. Swoosherz 21:53, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

The point being we dont use the u as you said it can be done either way but we just use the o without the u.Salubri 04:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
