Talk:Suì-Fēng

Omission of romaji
Yes, we all get it. "Suì-Fēng" is Chinese Mandarin. But that does not excuse the fact that this is a fictional character in Japanese media and that there's still a Japanese pronunciation of her Chinese language name, which is "Soifon" despite everyone's outright refusal to include that here because we want to be "correct" about this character's name. It's read both Suì-Fēng and Soifon depending on the language, and both should be included regardless of whatever some art book says is the translated version of this name. It's a Japanese manga FFS.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 21:28, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

I honestly cannot tell why everyone is insisting that I'm saying this character's name is "Soifon". I have said on many occasions here that "Soifon" is the Japanese romaji spelling of "Suì-Fēng" because pinyin is not used by the Japanese. Pinyin is an approximation used in English-speaking countries for Chinese text. The Japanese use a different thing all together which is why this character's name has a furigana reading for it just like Espada and Wandenreich and Arrancar and Fullbringer. All of those have kanji names for non-Japanese words and those pages have the furigana on them. Why is this one so different? Is it because there's some "sins of the past" to avoid referring to this character as "Soifon" because now we know the data book stuff? I'm sure in that same databook next to "Suì-Fēng" in English lettering there's "砕蜂（ソイフォン）", or maybe it's written as 砕蜂ソイフォン. "ソイフォン" is the Japanese approximation of the Chinese characters "砕蜂" just like "Suì-Fēng" is for English speakers. I don't know how to explain myself any clearer on this matter because it's ridiculous how obstinant this one Wiki is to having both "Suì-Fēng" and "Soifon" on one page.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 07:18, May 26, 2015 (UTC)
