Forum:Misnomers

I've been poking around the pages, and it's occured to me - there are quite a few misnomers throughout the series.

Ones that immediately come to mind:
 * Harribel's attack Proyectil Azul that's colored yellow
 * Nel's attack Lanzador Verde that's colored violet
 * Luppi's Resurrecion translates as Ivy Girl, but he's male
 * Apache's Resurrecion, in Japanese, means Blue Deer Battle Girl, but nothing on her is colored blue
 * Ikkaku's Hozukimaru - shikai form. Means demon light, but looks neither demonic nor is it a light-type Zanpakuto (although the bankai name is fitting given its appearance, as that has the light element, looks a bit demonic, and has the dragon crest)
 * Kaien's Nejibana - name for a flower, but shikai form is water-type rather than earth-type
 * Momo's Tobiume - means flying plum tree, but shoots fireballs, which would destroy a plum tree

There were a couple others that occured to me, but they seemed more debateable. I can understand that the color ones may just be the anime taking its liberties, but the name ones surprise me, since Tite selected them himself, and selected their abilities (presumably). I wonder why he made them differ from their names? Twocents 19:51, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
