Talk:Shūhei Hisagi/Expanded Universe

Bankai Mistranslation
Figure this is the best place to bring this up since the translation corner's dead atm. According to Sccq98, we've got two aspects of Hisagi's Bankai name translated/portrayed incorrectly:
 * 1) The first two kanji, 風死, are homophonous with, but is literally the same kanji as , so it may be a pun or something worth mentioning in trivia, but the direct translation would be Wind of Death Hangman's Noose.
 * 2) 絞縄 should be read as Kōjō, not Kōjyō: this one is backed up by this kanji search site that I frequently use.

So in summation, Hisagi's Bankai should be listed as. Wanted to bring this up for all the novel peeps to see/discuss before I go about implementing changes in case something's wrong, but they both seem pretty fair to me.--Xilinoc (talk) 18:40, April 9, 2020 (UTC)

 * Sorry for not responding earlier. Quite frankly both sound equally plausible names, but it's not like I can guarantee it's supposed to be "Undying". I'll trust Sccq98's judgement on this until the volume comes out in english. Timjer (talk) 18:05, May 21, 2020 (UTC)


 * Not my field by any stretch, but I agree with Timjer. This is one case when waiting on the official English release might be best, if it sheds any light at all. Kenji-Taichō (Talk)  21:14, May 21, 2020 (UTC)
 * As someone who specialises on names of manga techniques in Japanese to avoid misinformation, I can confirm Sccq98's points(and also add that pun with 不死(fushi) is most certainly on purpose, since normally on-yomi of 風 is fū with long u, not fu with short u), though my literal translation for 風死絞縄(Fushi no Kōjō) would be "Wind of Death Strangling Rope". --JouXIII (talk) 22:52, August 6, 2020 (UTC)
