Talk:Tenken (Zanpakutō spirit)

Komamura refers to the materialized spirit as Tengen, a portion of the bankai name rather than shikai, should the name be changed to reflect that? Ancient Chaos 07:27, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't always go by what the subtitles say if you actually listen to what he says he clearly says Tenken not Tengen. WhiteStrike 08:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Bankai Name
I know there has been a massive cleanup in trivia(which I assisted in), but why was mine removed by Twocents. For those not aware this is what I typed.


 * All other Zanpakuto spirits are referred to by the Shikai name. He is the only one referred to by his Bankai name, Tengen.

Its short, simple, true & makes me question; why is he the only one to be called by his Bankai name? Minato88 23:02, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I removed it because it's not right. He's called Tenken, which uses the same kanji as Tengen which might be why some fan subs alternate between the two spellings. His Bankai's name is Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō. Thus, he's not called by his Bankai name. Twocents 23:11, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Well, again i have been unable to go through one day without learning something new. Thank u for correcting me Twocents. I just figured they were calling him Tengen in short for his entire Bankai name. U can mark this article as resolved. But now I have to ask another question. Should we mention this under Sajins Zanpakuto Tenken. To save u time I just checked & no it is not mentioned anywhere in there. Minato88 23:19, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

No problem - us non-bilingual folks are at the mercy of the video fansubbers sometimes. And what do you mean? What sort of thing are you picturing on his article? Twocents 23:23, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I meant should we include that Tenken uses the same Kanji as Tengen. I'm not 100% sure what a Kanji is, but i'm guessing it means letter. Minato88 23:26, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Well, the kanji is already displayed on the page. (Kanji are the Japanese letters.) But you could ask another admin what s/he thinks about it. Twocents 23:35, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Oh okay, I see it now. Thanks again. :) Minato88 23:40, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Glad to help. :) Twocents 23:43, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Profile Picture
Episode 265 has given us this daytime shot of Tenken. Anyone got any others that could be used as profile pictures? -- Yyp (Talk) 14:56, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
