Luders Friegen
I know you can't confirm the official English spelling for this dude, but I think I have found the Katakana for this dude "リューダス・フリーゲン" (Ryūdasu Furīgen) But the thing is I can't find the damn RAW for this chapter to confirm it. So I figured I'd bring this to your attention because I thought you might know the answer :) --Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 20:48, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I tried to check this on some of my usu. sources, but the BLEACH Japanese Wiki, a good source for katakana etc., is woefully behind on updates: they still barely have any data on the Fullbringers (!).


 * A Japanese tweet @tite_kubo seems to confirm, or at least strongly hint, that your rendering above, リューダス・フリーゲン (Ryūdasu Furīgen), is correct for the name's katakana. The tweeter amusedly says that the name reminds them of アンダース・フリーデン (Andāsu Furīden), i.e. Anders Fridén, lead singer of Swedish metal band In Flames.


 * The fact that the katakana uses  Ryū dasu instead of  Rū dasu would seem to suggest that the tentative romanization *could* be Lüders--since katakana generally adapts the German diaeresis u (= ü ) with yu--but, as you said, there's no way to know how Kubo would romanize it, officially, yet.

Tres Bestia
I think I have found the Kanji and Katakana for Tres Bestia "「3獣神 （トレス・ベスティア）」" (Toresu Besutia). What I found appears to be different to what is on Apacci's page so I don't know which one is the correct one. I found the RAW but the quality is rather low.--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 19:10, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

http://s3.mangahead.com/mangas/Manga-Raw-Scan/Bleach/Bleach-488-Raw-Scan/15.jpg


 * * Mangahead won't let me see the image, not even if I go directly to the site. In the meantime, the kanji that you put up means "Three Beast Gods" and fits well with their theme of chimera and whatnot. --Reikson (talk) 19:42, April 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * The link is borked? It works for me but here try this one.--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 20:42, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

http://mangahead.com/index.php/Manga-Raw-Scan/Bleach/Bleach-488-Raw-Scan/15.jpg?action=big&size=original&fromthumbnail=true


 * In Nel's first usage of term (which is largely in katakana), she translates it as sanbiki no kedamono "three beasts"; but near the end of the chapter, it does appear in word balloon as your 3獣神 （トレス・ベスティア） Toresu Besutia, with the meaning you gave "three beast spirits/gods". Of course, I think this should be Tres Bestia s , but you know Kubo :). Adam Restling (talk) 14:16, April 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Actually, the singular use here makes sense; remember, Apacci, Sung-Sun, and Mila-Rose have that Quimera Parca thing that they can do if they're really desperate. Three in one and all that.  Even if it's just a case of Kubo not knowing Spanish "quite" that well, the context here would appeal to him.  --Reikson (talk) 14:21, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Stern Ritter
This a little strange, I have found the katakana for Stern Ritter "シュテルンリッター" (Shuterunrittā) but I can't find the Kanji. Here is the RAW so that you can see what the Kanji is.--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 19:19, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

http://mangahead.com/index.php/Manga-Raw-Scan/Bleach/Bleach-489-Raw-Scan/13.jpg?action=big&size=original&fromthumbnail=true

(If that link doesn't work try this one http://s3.mangahead.com/mangas/Manga-Raw-Scan/Bleach/Bleach-489-Raw-Scan/13.jpg)


 * Site doesn't allow hotlinks for me. Maybe if you could post the relevant image... --Reikson (talk) 19:47, April 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Additionally, the first word on THIS particular page... apparently the kanji is 了解 (ryōkai, meaning "roger [that]" as per radio transmission). Can't make out the katakana, only that the apparent transliteration is supposed to be "eingeshworen" which is apparently a German word meaning "confirmed." Maybe Kubo's taking the gratuitous German a little far in this instance? --Reikson (talk) 19:47, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * The kanji used for Stern Ritter are "星十字騎士団", which Tangorin translates as "Star Cross Chivalric Order", but we're best waiting for confirmation from Adam before making any additions. Blackstar1 (talk) 19:53, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * I confirmed the kanji translation, and also found that Stern Ritter can be translated as "Star Knights" and fits in with the pentacles that these Quincies have been using. --Reikson (talk) 20:16, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Speaking of the German meaning, it can mean both "Star Knight" and "Star Knights" since the noun "Ritter" has the same form in both singular and plural. -- The Goblin   I'm feelin' the flow   21:48, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks like you guys got it: Sternritter/Stern Ritter (星十字騎士団 (シュテルンリッター) Shuterunrittā), from German for "star knight(s)" (sg. or pl. as Goblin said), with underlying Kanji for "star cross knight band/order"; while chivalry is related to knighthood, it's not a good choice for the translation, its current meaning referring to courteous knight-to-maiden conduct.


 * Reikson talks about eingeschworen "confirmed", and yeah: Kubo is really enjoyin' his Deutschin' in this arc XD. Adam Restling (talk) 13:39, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Special Weapon
Can someone please translate the term the Vandenreich use to refer to Ichigo - "特記戦力". Blackstar1 (talk) 20:51, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * The kanji translates as "special mention (特記, tokki)" and "war potential (戦力, senryoku)" so, if you think about it, the context DOES mean "special (war) weapon" and stuff... --Reikson (talk) 21:50, April 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Reikson is correct: tokki combines 特 "special" and 記 "account, notation", and could be rendered "notable/noteworthy" i.e. "special"; senryoku is more lit. "war/fighting power", combining 戦 "battle, war, fight", and 力 "power, strength, (cap)ability". The best way to translate this, keeping its apparent dehumanizing aspect, eludes me at present; if I think of anything good, I'll let you know. Adam Restling (talk) 13:55, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Quincy Terminology
I found the kanji for the, which Tangorin translates as something like "Destruction Monk Perfect Host/Subject", although "聖体" can mean "the emperor's person/the body of Christ", somewhat explaining the angelic form Kirge adopts (i.e. having both wings and a halo). Blackstar1 (talk) 14:49, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * My translation for the kanji was "Destruction Practitioner: The Final Eucharist" or something like that... --Reikson (talk) 15:16, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I ran it by a friend who is japanese, he translated it as Holy Master Total Destruction. Take that for what you will.--


 * Perhaps it's best to break down the kanji, piece by piece: 滅却師 is Monk of Destruction (from our own article on the Quincy); 完聖体 literally translates to "perfect holy body". The full translation would then become "Monk of Destruction's Perfect Holy Body". MarqFJA (talk) 17:35, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * The term itself means "Complete Quincy" (German vollständig = "complete", from voll "fully[y]" + ständig "permanent, constant", prob. < "standing/keeping in position: < Stand "position"); the Kanji combine those which, as you've pointed out, are the usual for Quincy, mekkyakushi--which is < mekkyaku "extinction, destruction" + the suffix -shi, "master, doctor", basically used to refer to a respected practitioner of the root meaning--and Kanji for "full(y)/whole(/ly) sacred form/body"--a bit of that extra nuance we all lurv Kubo for. The use of seitai (聖体) in additional meanings of "the form of the emperor" and "corpus Christi" are mere extensions of its original, basic meaning of "sacred form/body".


 * I dunno why the "Japanese friend" rearranged the order of the Kanji to give his translation. Adam Restling (talk) 12:34, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

I have found the complete Kanji and Katakana for Quincy Vollständig "滅却師完聖体 (クインシー・フォルシュテンディッヒ)" (Kuinshī Forushutendihhi). Also I've heard the Kanji translated as "Monk of Destruction Complete Holy Form" Is that translation also correct?--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 19:16, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * See above. Adam Restling (talk) 09:27, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Heirich Pfeil - Chapter 490
On pgs. 9 and 10, Kirge talks about something called a "Heirich Pfeil"... while I can't be arsed to find the kanji (that, and the relevant page on Mangahead is entirely in Chinese), I looked around and "Pfeil" is German for arrow but couldn't find anything for "Heirich" so this part's probably a transliteration bork. --Reikson (talk) 15:31, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * The word used is Heilig, which means Holy/Sacred/Divine. --

I think have found the Kanji and Katakana for this as well.--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 19:16, April 30, 2012 (UTC) "神聖滅矢(ハイリッヒ・ブファイル)" (Hairihhi Bufairu)


 * Kanj for "Heilig Pfeil" means "Holy Destructive Arrow" or something like that... --Reikson (talk) 23:23, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * If the data, Kanji and kana you guys provided above are correct--and they seem to be--then we have Heilig Pfeil (神聖滅矢 (ハイリッヒ・ブファイル) Hairihhi Bufairu), Japanese (in Kanji) for "destroying arrow of sanctity", German for "holy arrow".


 * Japanese shinsei (神聖) means "sanctity/sacredness, divinity; dignity", combining what is lit. "god/(high) spirit" + "holy, sacred". Adam Restling (talk) 09:36, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Biskiel
I have found the kanji used for Kirge's. Blackstar1 (talk) 15:30, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Kanji means "God of Justice" and all that sort of stuff... I think that Biskiel's a transliteration bork. Can you find the katakana? --Reikson (talk) 15:41, May 9, 2012 (UTC)

I think I have found the katakana ビスキエル (Bisukieru).--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 17:33, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * What it means in German? http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/0/03/Ponurak.pngPonurak http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/5/5a/Ponurak2.png 18:20, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Biskiel is not a german word.--

Could whoever answers this request, also please translate the surrounding sentence as well, as I want to establish whether Kirge was referring to the name of his attack or his Vollständig in general - "我が完聖体「神の正義」の力を!!!" Blackstar1 (talk) 13:07, May 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * It says something to the effect of "My Vollständig (Kanji: wholly sacred form) 'Biskieru' (Kanji: justice of god) 's power" + the object particle wo (を), making this power the subject of whatever verb he was to use, e.g. maybe "show the power (chikara wo)".


 * Dunno what "Biskieru" is, how to actually spell it, or what it means; if I can find out, I'll let you guys know. :) Adam Restling (talk) 13:16, May 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * One translator thinks it may be intended as some kind of "angel name" (what with the form having angelic motifs) that "Opie" has given to his Vollständig, perhaps to be rendered either *Biskiel or *Viskiel after all (compare Gabri-el, Dobi-el etc.). It's as good a guess as any, but I can't seem to find any evidence in angelology for such an angel, or where the Kanji "justice of god" might come in; the traditional angel of justice is Zadkiel. Adam Restling (talk) 09:09, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Nanao's Book (Turn back the Pendulum)
Hello, could you translate the cover of the book that Nanao and Lisa were going to read in Chapter 9? Here is a link to the page showing the cover, on manga-access.com. --3Chris (talk) 07:42, May 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Apparently, it's 鈴生姫, which I've read is rendered Suzuo Hime, meaning, roughly, "bell-like princess"; the element 生 has a wide range of meanings, beginning with its basic one of "live, be alive", through to many extended meanings, such as "be like, be of the nature of" (< "live as"), "birth/be born" (< "[be] give[n] life"), etc. etc.


 * I tried to find out if this was a real historical book, but was unsuccessful. Adam Restling (talk) 09:49, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Blut
Here's the kanji and katakana used for. Blackstar1 (talk) 19:02, May 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Blut is German for "blood"; the Kanji mean "blood guise/array". Adam Restling (talk) 11:57, May 22, 2012 (UTC)

General/Other translation issues (e.g. conjugation/miscellanea)
On Gin's page, the info for his game-only abilities seems to have an error. For his Yarisazame, there's only the kanji for yari (Spear) and sa (gauze). I tried to fix that ages ago by adding in the missing kanji for same/ame (rain), but it got undone. Is that supposed to be the official way to write Yarisazame in kanji? Should the rain kanji be there, it would have to translate to "Spearing Gauze Rain." --Belial Edge (talk) 23:59, May 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * According to the Japanese Wiki, you're right: 槍紗雨 Yarisazame, meaning "gossamer rain of spear(s)" (紗 can mean "gauze" or "gossamer", and I just chose the one I thought sounded *kewler* :) ). Didn't mention the command for it, tho. Adam Restling (talk) 09:53, May 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I think Spear Gossamer Rain sounds more accurate and short enough, forgive me for that opinion, if that will get me out again like with the Zanpakutou translations that is. :P
 * The command however is fine I suppose. I never heard Yarisazame's executions in Japanese dialogue though so I can understand that it's hard to pin that down. --Belial Edge (talk) 03:12, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

"Tenchi Kaijin" misspelled
Sorry to pollute the recently-archived corner already (XD), but I chanced to notice that in Zanka no Tachi's "North" ability, correct Tenchi ~ is misspelled Tenchi n ~ on Yamamoto's page. I tried to fix it (since it was minor), but am forbidden from editing the page; and for expedience, I'm bring this up here. Adam Restling (talk) 00:42, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

"I permit you."
I just realized that we're missing them, but what are the kanji and literal translation for the command Riruka that uses for her Dollhouse ability? Mohrpheus  (Talk)  15:29, September 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * According to the Japanese Wiki, the word for "permission" is, *apparently*, 許可 kyoka. But to confirm this, and get an accurate rendering of the phrase she uses it in, I implore someone who has it to post a pic from the raw--according to our refs on her page, it's mentioned in ch. 434 pgs. 13-17, and ch. 441 pg. 17. Raws from that "far" back in the series are hard to come by (at least for me) these days... Adam Restling (talk) 21:39, September 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * "あんたを許可する"わ("anta wo kyokasuru" wa) — ЖенёqSig.png 22:25, September 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you much, Zhyenyoq :). Looks like Riruka, at least in addressing Ichigo, uses the above, putting it in quotes, even. Anta is a coarse informal form of anata "you"--almost exclusively used by women--made the object of the following verb by the accusative particle wo; and kyokasuru is simply the verb "permit" formed from the noun kyoka permission; wa is the feminine verb-subsequent particle. Adam Restling (talk) 05:18, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect name kanjis
On Heizō Kasaki's article the kanjis for his name are incorrect, those are the kanjis for "Seinosuke Yamada"; it should be these kanjis 笠城 平蔵. Evidence is provided with this image: --EvilDragonLord(talk) 19:01, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hurtless Area
Sorry to bother you with more Fullbringer arc shenanigans. I thought we had it somewhere, but could you translate the literal Japanese term for Byakuya's Hurtless Area? Luckily we already have the raw this time around: Mohrpheus  (Talk)  04:15, October 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nothing to be sorry for; Fullbring Arc stuff is as important as aught else :).


 * Looks like it's 無傷圏 mushōken "woundless zone". Adam Restling (talk) 05:02, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

Ebern's Incantation
Not sure if you have any way of getting the raw on hand, but if you can find it, can you translate the incantation Ebern used when he tried to steal Ichigo's Bankai? Mohrpheus  (Talk)  13:38, October 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Raws
 * I'm not very sure of these kanji :)

「溶けよ」 （アウフリーデ） 海よ雲へ （メーア･エ･ヴォルケン） 雲よ雨へ （ヴォルケン･エ･レーゲン） 雨よ霧へ （レーゲン･エ･ネーベル）

?[冫夂女]成すものよ （ジヒトバーレ･エ･） 見えざるものへ （ウンジヒトバーレン）

我等歓喜の末に （ヴィーア･グート･フロイデ･） 杯を地に伏せる （ターナ･ヴラント・デイル・ベッヒャー）

さあ!!! （ロス）
 * — ЖенёqSig.png 17:04, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

If I'm not wrong, the line ?[冫夂女]成すものよ is like this 姿成すものよ--EvilDragonLord (talk) 23:02, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

The chant appears to be in German. Here is what it says in my Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha.--Kisukeiscool100396 (talk) 23:50, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Aufreide. (Melt) '''Meer eh wolken, wolken eh regen, regen eh nebel. sieht balle eh um sieht ballen.' (Sea to cloud, cloud to rain, rain to fog. that with shape to that which is unseen.)''

Wir gut freude, Danach Vrund Dill Becher! (After our jubilation, the chalice will be turned face down!)


 * I don't speak German, but for what it's worth, the translation above matches pretty much exactly with the Japanese characters in the raw. 姿成すものよ is the right kanji for that line (shisei su mono yo). Vraieesprit (talk) 20:57, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

This one broke my brain, but, then, I don't have a great grasp of German grammar and idiom.

I don't think anyone's done this yet (at least above), but the katakana spelling seems to be:


 * Aufurīde
 * ''Mēa e Voruken Voruken e Rēgen Rēgen e Nēberu Jihitobāre e Unjihitobāren
 * Vīa gūto Furoide dāna Vuranto diru Behhyā
 * Rosu!!!

デイル seems to actually be ディル diru (note small i [ィ]); rosu, the furigana reading above saa (さあ), is, I guess, supposed to be *los, command (singular) form "draw! toss up" of German losen (saa in Japanese is usu. "come/go [on]"): the impression seems to be him evoking the elements in his "spell" to "do it, now!"

(note German nouns are, properly, all capitalized, so I tried to follow this above [where it seemed more certain])

The Weekly JUMP version seems to contain words (like aufreide, Vrund, and Dill) which seem not to occur in German (at least for the meanings they're ascribed above), whether I check a) my dictionary, b) Wiktionary (both English and German vers.), or c) Google searching phrases like "German ".

Plus, the katakana spellings seem odd if the words are accurate; for example: the -ei- in *aufr ei de would, in German, rhyme with English eye (like katakana ai), not have an "ee" sound, as here (katakana ī ); jihito- for sieht seems odd, since ieh is usu. a longer "ee" sound, and we should expect *jīhito; why is danach spelled as though *dahna instead of a more apt katakana *danāhha?; a word *Vrund should be Vurunto, NOT Vuranto, etc. Kubo mistakes, or... ???

I would've thought that the whole (Un)jihitobāre(n) things were forms derived from (un)sichtbar "(in)visible" (even if shiseisumono seems more properly "formative thing[s]", it's paired with miezarumono [見えざるもの] "unseen thing[s]"), perhaps elaborated as adjectival nouns *"things seen and unseen" (?), but I dunno.

I implore anyone with super German powers (XD) to help us out here. Adam Restling (talk) 10:08, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Loyd/Royd Lloyd
Here's another: with the raws for 510, I noticed that Royd and Loyd's names are depicted a little weird (to distinguish them since the kana are identical?), so I was hoping to get some confirmation from you guys. In addition, some clarification on their separate abilities would be pretty handy. Thanks! Mohrpheus  (Talk)  11:54, October 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would guess they've been put in roman characters because of what you said - the R/L character in Japanese is the same. At least, if that was what you were asking..?Vraieesprit (talk) 20:45, October 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I should have been more clear. Would "Rの" and "Lの" just be placed in front of ロイド・ロイド (Roido Roido) for the matching brother? Mohrpheus   (Talk)  21:18, October 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ah, gomen. I was gonna suggest orientation (Left/Right) since they use those abbreviations sometimes for hidari and migi in Japanese, but unless I'm mistaken they're on the opposite sides for that to work. So I think you're probably right and that it relates to the fact a Quincy name ought to be written in roman script, where there'd be a difference.Vraieesprit (talk) 21:31, October 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just in case this wasn't answered in the above, the use of "Lの" (Eru no) and "Rの" (Āru no) are apparently just the "narrator" (Kubo) giving us explicit notes (along with spelling their names in those roman "labels") of which Roido is meant to be spelled with initial L-, and which with initial R-; they aren't meant to be nor needed as official "prefixes" of their names, from what I can see. Adam Restling (talk) 09:15, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Aizen War Power?
And yet another, this time by someone else's request. What is Juhabach saying about Aizen in relation to the special war powers? Mohrpheus  (Talk)  05:59, October 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * 特記戦力の一つとして我が麾下に入るよう言ったが案の定断りおった.
 * tokki-senryoku no hitotsu to shite wa ga kika ni hairu you itta ga an no tei kotowari-otta.


 * "As one of those with special war potential/power, I spoke to him about him coming under my command, but as I anticipated, he refused."


 * I don't know if Bwiki has an official translation for 特記戦力, but it literally means "particularly notable battle power". Vraieesprit (talk) 01:09, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

It was discussed previously here and though I don't believe a completely firm decision was ever reached, "Special War Power" is being used presently. Blackstar1 (talk) 01:19, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Soldat
Here's the kanji and katakana for the Soldat mentioned in chapter 511, as well as the raw. Blackstar1 (talk) 21:32, October 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * The Japanese characters mean "holy soldier", if that's relevant.Vraieesprit (talk) 22:02, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Kana is ゾルダート, isn't it? — ЖенёqSig.png 22:24, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Blackstar is right. It looks like a 'so' to me, but the edge of the character is a little indistinct so at first glance it appears to be a dakuten ;)Vraieesprit (talk) 22:33, October 11, 2012 (UTC)'
 * I think I'm sure there is a dakuten. German 'Soldat' starts with 'z' sound. [zɔlˈdaːt] — ЖенёqSig.png 04:56, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

I think Zhenyoq is right (as Vraiee also intimated): there does seem to be extremely faint dakuten on the kana for so (making it zo), even fainter (by a smidge) than that of the one for da, so Zorudāto (ゾルダート) is prob. correct; although we might note that the plural should've been Soldaten, I believe ;). Adam Restling (talk) 09:29, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Underground Prison
Can someone please translate how Yamamoto refers to the underground prison on page 9 of chapter 510? Heres the kanji, 真央地下大監獄, and the raw. Blackstar1 (talk) 00:33, October 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think Yama's referring to it, I think it's a narration comment. 真央 means dead centre, but Central seems to suffice. Kanji order would make it Central Underground Great Prison. I would tweak it to Central Great Underground Prison, but that does shift the nuance slightly. Vraieesprit (talk) 00:56, October 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks again, Vraieesprit. Given the context, I'm more inclined to believe that its Yama's thoughts in response to Juhabach's question, though as there is some doubt, I think I'll wait to see if the term crops up again before making any changes. Blackstar1 (talk) 01:03, October 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * The word would have the same meaning irrespective of whether its a narrator or Yama. The translation would remain the same.Vraieesprit (talk) 01:12, October 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * What is the romanization for the kanji? Mohrpheus   (Talk)  15:40, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * shin'ōchikadaikangoku — ЖенёqSig.png 17:18, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Vraie's suggestion seems most apt: either "great central" or "central great underground prison"; like J.R.R. Tolkien said, in English, you should say "the great green dragon", not "the green great dragon" ;).

Thanks to everyone. Adam Restling (talk) 10:26, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Sabitsura & Fugai
I noticed that two districts of Rukongai are missing kanji and translation.
 * — ЖенёqSig.png 22:42, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * — ЖенёqSig.png 22:42, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * — ЖенёqSig.png 22:42, October 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems like Fugai, based on those Kanji, means something like "outside the walls/district", or "outer district"; 郛 doesn't seem to appear in my dictionary--a rarer Kanji? Adam Restling (talk) 07:45, October 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * My dictionary says that 郛 means "earthwork around a castle" (but it's a draft record). And is Sabitsura translation right? — ЖенёqSig.png 08:34, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

So it seems that 郛 is some (earthen) ward around something, like a bourg; and 外 does mean "outside".

Yes, if those Kanji are correct, "rust(ed) face" would appear to be correct. Adam Restling (talk) 16:26, October 29, 2012 (UTC)

Shatten Bereich
Can we get the kanji and confirmation of the translation of Shatten Bereich (page 12 of chapter 514) please. Mangapanda translation is "Shadow Territory". 12:10, October 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's correct, though they mispelled the first word; it's "Schatten". The literal meaning of the two words is "shadow/shade" and "field/region". MarqFJA (talk) 17:05, October 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Kanji is like "shadow territory" or "territory of shadow(s)". — ЖенёqSig.png 13:54, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Tenchūren
Can someone please confirm the translation of ? Here's the raw. Blackstar1 (talk) 15:50, November 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the raw link. It looks like badkarma had the correct: "heaven-pillar palanquin". Adam Restling (talk) 03:17, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Royal Guard
Can I get as much of this page translated as possible. All the translations so far differ widely, some saying that the Royal Palace is in Soul Society, some saying it is not, others attribute some dialogue to Shunsui while other attribute that same dialogue to Ichigo.--


 * Badkarma has done what looks like a pretty good translation of the raw chapter here. It does seem like most of the dialogue of that pg. 13 is Kyouraku responding to Ichigo's initial questions, and that Ichigo merely asks something like


 * "The 'Reiou Palace'...? Is that not inside the Seireitei...?"


 * and then Kyouraku seems to intimate that the wall that's been protecting the "constantly-in-crisis" Seireitei usually protects the Reiou Palace... but without confirming it. There doesn't seem, however, to be any answer of where the Reiou Palace (which we know resides in its own space, accessible only by the Ouken) might actually lie.
