Talk:Kidō Barriers & Seals

Jōmon Spells
I want confirmation on the romanizations of Ryubi no Jōmon, Koko no Jōmon, Hoyoku no Jōmon, Kikai no Jōmon and Shiji no Saimon. They're supposed to be Ryūbi no Jōmon, Kokō no Jōmon, Hōyoku no Jōmon, Kigai no Jōmon and Shijū Saimon, respectively.

They're the same by two different translators, except for Shijū Saimon, but they say Shijū Saimon in the anime as well. Mad Rest 14:04, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Well first off we dont use the anime for translation unless absolutely necessary as they constantly change and are not that reliable for numerous reasons (they often contradict the manga). Secondly the change your talking about is a matter of accent marks, thats not a translation issue so much as a proper grammar one. Though im not really understanding whats the justification for the change. Where is the proof of it needing to be change because its inaccurate.--Salubri (Talk)  14:32, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

There is and this isn't just accents. This is more akin to a whole letter missing. The word ryu in this case does not mean dragon. The word ryuu does. Therefore this romanization makes the translation incorrect. Are you saying that it won't matter if all the pages that contain an ō or ū are moved to a page where they are replaced by an o or u? If you don't believe me search the kanji in Tangorin.com. This is why I wanted to post this on the Translation Corner. Besides, with Shiji no Saimon the whole name is wrong and I used the anime because it corresponds with the translations given in the manga. Mad Rest 18:01, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
