Talk:Hyouzou

Scylla?
I don't think Hyouzou should be referred to as a scylla. (I found no raw to confirm it yet, but I suppose it has been introduced as a 人魚; of course if it is not the case all my remarks are pointless!) Considering all this, I don't understand why User:Animeman7890 is changing all "merman" into "scyllas". sff9 (talk) 21:56, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a symmetry between fishmen and merfolk. Introducing a subcategory of merfolk (the so-called scyllas) would break this symmetry (there is no similar subcategory for the fishmen, see Hacchan)
 * If the original names for merman and scylla are the same, there's no reason not to follow the author's will. If Oda wanted to introduce Hyouzou as a proper scylla, he would have done it.
 * According to the Wikipedia article linked to "scylla", not only this word corresponds to one monster, not a species, but the description does not fit Hyouzou at all: "Scylla was a horrible sea monster with four eyes, six long necks equipped with grisly heads, each of which contained three rows of sharp teeth. Her body consisted of twelve tentacle-like legs and a cat's tail and with four to six dog-heads ringing her waist."


 * OK, so this diff has cleared up things for me concerning my last item. It seems that "octopus merfolk" are referred to as cecaelias recently, if you believe the Wikipedia talk page. There might have been a confusion between the so-called cecaelias and Scylla. sff9 (talk) 00:15, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Hyōzō, Hyouzou, or Hyozo
Since ō=ou, how should we do this? And I think if we are keeping Hyozo and not Hyouzou, we should put the lines over the Os, and if we do this, we have to do this everywhere on the site. We should keep things consistant. (68.36.166.78 12:42, January 15, 2011 (UTC))


 * Actually, this is an on-going discussion: Forum:Inconsistencies_Major_Cleanup. The Hyouzou/Hyozo case is mentioned. sff9 (talk) 12:51, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Trivia
Why do you keep removing the trivia stating that he was the first merman to debut in One Piece, One-Winged Hawk? This kind of information is typically what I like to read in a trivia section! As far as I know, it follows the trivia guidelines... Is it that you think it's more of a "chapter page" trivia? sff9 (talk) 17:30, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Something wrong?
What's a merman doing in the New Fishman Pirates? Also, is it worth putting in the Trivia? GMTails 00:59, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
