Talk:Katen Kyōkotsu (Zanpakutō spirit)

Why Calling Both Violet?
Why are the spirits now referred to as "violet-haired woman" and "violet-haired girl"? They both have the same hair colour, so it is not a very helpful way of distinguishing between them. I'm sure something better could be thought of than the previous tall half and masked half monikers, but using the "masked girl" or whatever variation on it made it much easier to distinguish between them. 13:41, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Older or younger could also be a good option.
 * Problem with that, Kami, is they're both the same age, since they're both Shunsui's Zanpakutō spirit. I chose those monikers based on the comments made about them in the English dub of the anime, which almost gave us distinguishable names for them like Saru and Hebi, only to cruelly pull it away. Anyhow, if it's determined that they need different monikers and there's enough consensus on one, I'm willing to make the change here and later across the episode pages when I go through them again.--Xilinoc (talk) 15:55, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Now we know from the manga now that older one is Ohana, younger is Okyo, wouldn;t it make sense to chance the way the page is written using those names. I think it would be less awkward than it currently is. Not awkward at all in fact. Ill do the changes myself if thats okay with everyone, I dont mean to create work for anyone else, just want to check first. Also I wont object if a less experienced editor wants to give it a go to get some experience at editing. --SternRitterÄs (talk) 22:22, November 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Saw that the change had been made yesterday, but never thought to thanks whoever made the change. So, thank you. --SternRitterÄs (talk) 14:54, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

shortest half name
in the last chapter they say the second half is nanao zampakuto... and her name is kyoukotsu we will have to separate the two spirit? or at least say that somewere? --Nitram86 (talk) 15:11, November 9, 2015 (UTC)

we'll wait until it's further explained Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 15:24, November 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * It was determined that the zanpakuto spirits were just hiding Nanao's Zanpakuto (of a completely different name) and that they are still very much Shunsui's zanpakuto.--

Didn't Shunsui call the taller one Ohana, and the shorter one Okyō? Yatanogarasu (talk) 15:55, November 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * From what I understand, Katen (花天), who Shunsui refers to by the nickname "Ohana" (お花), created Kyōkotsu (狂骨), nicknamed "Okyō" (お狂), for the purpose of hiding Shinken Hakkyōken at the request of Nanao's mother. The nicknames each share a Kanji with their respective "half" of the name. Whether or not this means that Shunsui's Zanpakutō was originally just "Katen" long before his brother married an Ise, we can't say at the moment.
 * I think you misunderstood what Yatanogarasu meant. He was asking about why Katen and Kykotsu were used instead of Ohana and Okyo. At least I think he what they meant. --SternRitterÄs (talk) 14:54, November 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right. Perhaps maybe we can have "Ohana" and "Okyo" as their respective nicknames. Also, doesn't Ohana mean "family" in Hawaiian terms? Poweltav (talk) 00:38, November 17, 2015 (UTC)


 * @SternRitterÄs - Because their real names are Katen and Kyōkotsu, Ohana and Okyō are nicknames.
 * @Poweltav -The Hawaiian thing is complete coincidence. hana means "flower" in Japanese. Kubo's not getting anything from Lilo and Stitch.
