Talk:Uryū Ishida

Portrait
Shouldn't we find a picture of ishida with his current bow and/or the seele shneider weapons?Arieus 09:47, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Yes we should. The pic we have is from Wikipedia I believe, or at least the former picture on Wikipedia. Renji Abarai 22:14, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Licht Regen?
how do you say Licht Regen? i have no idea how to speak german--Kisukeiscool100396 21:14, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * German is more or less how it's written, it is much more straightforward a language than English. Just one thing: ch in German is pronounced more like J in Spanish. This consonant doesn't exist in English and is usually replaced by a K. Weedefinition 21:40, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * No. I consider that Junk Trivia. Minato  22:12, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Picture
Shouldn't have Uryu's picture more current than that old one that people keep on changing it back to whenever someone changes it to something new? Shouldn't our dear Quincy have an updated picture himself? IchigoKitty 05:54, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

There should definatly be a better and newer pic of uryu since he has gotten new powers.

Cleanup
I was browsing his article, and his powers/abilities section is rather confusing and scattered. I purposed we work to clean it up.--Kylecharmed 23:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Multilingual
Should multilingual be listed in his powers and abilities? I think this should be put somewhere else.--Shinitenshi 15:40, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

I would agree that it's not a power or ability. I also wonder how much of a stance we can put on it, since being capable of counting in another language and knowing a phrase or two hardly seems enough to say he's multilingual. I can count and say some words and phrases in a variety of languages, but I wouldn't say that I am multilingual. Even if we do decide that he knows enough to say he can speak more than one language, from what I've seen, he'd only be bilingual, since he speaks Japanese and a bit of Spanish, (or English and a bit of Spanish in the dub), but not more than that.

Ametatsu Ishida
In episode 11, when the list of the top 50 students is hung in the hallway, the name of the #1 student isn't Uryū Ishida but Ametatsu Ishida. Does anybody know why that is or what it means? I don't know what's it like in the manga because the scanlated version I've seen has Uryū Ishida. Also, shouldn't there be a mention of that on his page, in the trivia section maybe?

 * Well I can't read Japanese so this is news to me. It is without a doubt an error. Both Ichigo and Orihime while reading it read Uryu Ishida. Trivia, if u want to add it I am not against it, but please make it short. Minato 20:36, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * HOLY CRAP!!!!! Is Uryu his middle name?????? I... don't know what to say right now. I guess I am going to talk to Yyp about this. Weede does Ichigo say that in Japanese too. Minato 21:01, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, he most certainly does :) Weedefinition 21:06, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Ichigo can't read Japanese that well and mis read it as Ametatsu, Tatsuki corrected him, and Ishida is the family name, Uryuu is his first name.--SalmanH 21:18, December 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * SalmanH, i'm not entirely sure that is correct. Ichigo only read Chads name wrong and when u listen to him pronounce it the first time in japanese he says Chado mistaken for Sado. Plus he was like unconcious and dizzy. Also he is japanese and has GOOD GRADES. How could he be ranked Twenty Third if he can't read???! Also Orihime said thats Uryu andTatsuki confirmed this. The way it is said states that they KNOW Uryu. Also they berated him for forgeting that Uryu is in their class. Minato 21:24, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

I think it was in the Bount arc even though it's non canon he and Renji had an argument about spelling or something similar and having good grades doesn't you're good at most things educational, just because a person speaks perfect English an let's say comes from the states or UK even doesn't mean they'd be perfect readers or great with grammar and I think that those scores weren't based on school topics but rather a variation of an IQ test, it's Japan plenty of students there are quite intelligent and they are pretty tough when it comes to education.--SalmanH 21:38, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

That scene is different in the anime to the manga. In the manga (chapter 35), Ichigo was trying to remember Ishida's name and Inoue told him it was Uryu and pointed at the exam table, where his name was given as Uryu, not Ametatsu. Also, comparing the Kanji shown in the anime are the exact same as the kanji currently on Uryu's page. So it looks like Ichigo mis-pronouncing Uryu's name. -- Yyp  (Talk)  21:44, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Probably yeah but it's late here and I wasn't wiling to check the manga, so you two can talk to Yyp now good night.--SalmanH 21:48, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Just checked the raw of chapter 35 and it is indeed the same kanji as Uryu. So it was a mistake on Ichigo's part, imo. -- Yyp  (Talk)  21:49, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Well I guess we have our answer. Huh, that one really had me confused, but seriously. I.Q test or whatever, standard reading of letters Kanji or English or Spanish or French is basic elementary school. How is Ichigo not able to get that right? &#91;&#91;w:c:Bleach:User talk:Minato88&#124;&lt;span style=&quot;font size 95.25; font family: courier new; color: FFFF00&quot; &#39;&#39;&#39;Minato&#39;&#39;&#39;&lt;/span&gt;&#93;&#93; 22:07, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Thats my new Sig LOL. No I am having problems right now hope to fix it.

Not knowing Japanese all that well, it's kind of confusing, but I think there was an omake about Ichigo not being able to read the kanji of a shop name in the anime (maybe in the manga too) because he didn't recognize it, but knew it belonged to a certain group of kanji and was thus able to make guesses at a possible pronunciation. Maybe something similar was going on here. -- Yyp  (Talk)  22:36, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Ichigo might be dyslexic. They have a hard time reading and concentrating, but if they are intelligent and they put their minds to it, they can do very well. I have a friend who recently finished his BA in marine biology, and he used to be in a special education class until the 7nth grade. Weedefinition 23:32, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

He's not dyslexic. Kanji is a complex language that I myself don't know how to read but I can tell you this: Kanji can be read in many different ways. The kanji in Uryu's firstname are quite complicated if you compare them to those of his last name. The first Kanji (雨) means Rain and can be read "u" according to the On reading, and "ame", "ama" or "same" according to the Kun reading. The second kanji (竜) means Dragon. The On reading can be "ryu" "ryo" or "ro", while the Kun reading is "tatsu". Ichigo isn't dislexic, he just read the kanji in Kun instead of On. This doesn't mean that Uryu can be called either Uryu or Ametatsu, it was just a misreading from Ichigo. I hope it's clear now. Lia Schiffer 02:56, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Proper names for bows
I just noticed that we do not have the proper names for Ishida's bow. They should be something like Ginrei Kojaku, Kojaku etc. However, right now it is just the translation "Lone Sparrow" etc. I just wanted to flag this as I can't get to them right at this moment. If anyone else would like to rectify this oversight, it would be much appreciated. Unless of course people are happy with how things are now and don't think having the proper names will help matters. I mean, if I am the only one bothered with this then that's fine. We don't have to change it. Tinni  (Talk)  07:50, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
