Talk:Monster

Name
His name should be translated as Monster, not Monstar. モンスター means monster, translating it as Monstar seems completely random. スター does mean star but there's no reason to assume it should be translated that way in this context. Blue and Vivre Card don't give any indication that his name should be spelled Monstar, so unless there's some other source I'm unaware of I think the article should be renamed.

I agree. I always found it weird how it was translated to Monstar instead of Monster, I just assumed it was the official romanisation, but if it isn't, we should change it to Monster. ( Dot  Talk  ) 07:04, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

It may not count for much but the official Japanese site uses 'Monster' in the url: https://one-piece.com/log/character/detail/Monster.html Dragonus Nesha (talk) 02:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Yeah cuz that's how its supposed to be read, and if we have an official source can we just get the page renamed? ( Dot  Talk  ) 03:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Officer or Pet?
I believe we are about to enter an edit war over the discussion of whether Monster is an officer or a pet. Can we please have an administrator to settle things once and for all? Mugiwara1994 (talk) 14:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Nowhere is he stated to be a pet. Oda lists him with the officers and only excludes Rockstar from the rank. I looked around and the intepretation among the Japanese community seems to be that Monster is an officer, and this is acknowledged on the Japanese Wikipedia as well. 14:44, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
