Talk:Ichibē Hyōsube

Name
I reread chapter 517, and I couldn't spot the name "Bonze" even once. Is this really this character's name?
 * Shunsui says, "The members of the Zero Division really haven't changed, Bonze!"--
 * Alright, I see.
 * Bonze is not a name, it is the term used for the buddhist monks (bonze or bozu). Shunsui is just calling him a buddhist monk because, you see, he is a buddhist monk. It is the same as calling Mayuri "scientist". - Gorenja (talk) 14:01, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Or maybe Kubo named his character Bonze--
 * RAW is out: http://i.imgur.com/ty5Vy.png Mangastream was right, there is no 'bonze' anywhere. Shunsui calls him oshou (和尚) - but, again, oshou is not his name, Shunsui is just calling him this way because he is/looks like an oshou, a buddhist priest. - Gorenja (talk) 12:00, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Even if the scan is "Oshou", I think we should re-name the page to that since it's what other characters call him. And besides, Kubo has had some interesting naming ideas in the past. As for the Buddhist monk part, I highly doubt it. As a somewhat Buddhist myself, I know their behavior. This one shows a lot of emotion on a level a monk is trained to not (outwardly) show. He seems to talk loudly and use physical force, things that a normal monk would never do. And all the monks I know or have seen don't have facial hair.

We are waiting for confirmation from our translators.--

Are you sure it's not Hyosube Ichibei, meaning Hyosube be first name and Ichibei be last name? Will-O-Wisp (talk)

"Bonze"/Osho
This is most likely an error-- Right beside "Osho", where it shows the romaji for his name, it still says Bonze. Fatdude (talk) 21:09, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Bonze is the english translation of Osho. We use Japanese names here.--

I know you use Japanese names here. I just didn't know about Osho and Bonze meaning the same thing. I was just confused. Ok. Fatdude (talk) 21:46, December 5, 2012 (UTC)

Spiritual Power Level
Should we really list his, as well as all the Royal Guard, Reiatsus as great and not immense? Shunsui did state that the Royal Guard are stronger than the combined forces of the Gotei 13 captains. It doesn't make sense that 5 people with great spiritual pressure can out match 13 captains when several of the 13 captains have immense spiritual pressure.
 * I asked this weeks ago, until we can gauge their power more appropriately it hasn't really been shown. Great was agreed upon, not Immense. Its just a...foundation, for now. So I had to edit it as Great. Skitzo1 (talk) 14:27, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * You've really got some weird procedures on this wikia, guys. Xfing (talk) 08:14, January 16, 2014 (UTC)

In retrospect considering the classification and skill lvl of being a Royal guard immense is likely far better a designation.--

Ichibē
According to the raws, Ichibe's name should be spelled as such (or Ichibē); there's no "i" at the end. http://raw.senmanga.com/Bleach/545/11/ It's hard to tell, but it should be clear enough to see "いちべえ/ichibee".--Slmcknett (talk) 11:18, March 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * There are multiple ways to romanize the ～えい/～ええ sound, namely "ee", "ei", and "ē". Granted I agree we should be using ē given that we use ō and ū in alot of other places.
