Talk:Karakuri Island

"The only resident known by name as of now is Taroimo."

It's not true. This people is from Karakuri Island too: http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/448/01/

Karakuri, Franky and the old moonwatcher of the Enel mini-arc.
Seems that actually both islands are the same. Both are called in japanese "Karakuri-jima". The only difference is that one shows the name written in katakana and the other in hiragana. But I don't mind Oda would made two islands with the same name.

So I think Machine Island article should be fused with this one.

 * Problem is that both islands appear to have different climates and environments.


 * What is shown of the outside of Machine Island is a regular sakura filled Japanese themed island. ,,


 * The one Franky landed on was a freezing winter island with futuristic buildings.


 * Unless its stated in an SBS, both islands are two different islands.Mugiwara Franky 01:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think "Karakuri Jima" is just a nickname of the island and the real name is Barujimoa. Since Karakuri is written in hiragana and is between "", and Barujimoa is between 「」.--PhantomT1412 07:16, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Kitton
His name was revealed in the anime, and this has to be mentioned in this article, otherwise we would deprive information from the reader. El Chupacabra 13:47, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if his name was revealed in the anime. It is non-canon and does not belong. Drunk Samurai 17:27, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

His name is non canon, but HE appears in manga.--Klobis 12:32, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ditto agreements there, just note (not named in the manga) next to it. One-Winged Hawk 12:41, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * The names of the characters from the Merlin dude to the kid in Karakuri are mentioned in the anime I believe. Though they haven't been mentioned in the manga, this doesn't mean that they're instantly non-canon. I doubt the animators would just give random names to canon characters without consulting Oda first. For Kitton, mention his name in the article as he is a canon part of the island but like Angel said, leave a note stating that it's not stated in the manga yet.Mugiwara Franky 13:22, December 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added it, is it OK now? El Chupacabra 15:38, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Barujimoa source
Do we have any official sources for the romanization Barujimoa? Both Funimation and Viz go with Baldimore, which is a possible romanization (baru=bal ji=di moa=more) and sounds a lot better than Barujimoa. I know official translations have been wrong before, but this one sounds a lot better if we don't have any sources contradicting it. 05:46, December 5, 2016 (UTC)

Basically, we just go with romanizing everything character by character unless an official romanized spelling is written by Oda himself.
