Talk:Curiel

"He has authority over low ranking subordinates". This is not proven and is just speculation on how the divisions work. I'm going to remove this.

I'm pretty sure by "low ranking subordinates" they mean the other pirates in his division. If you're going to change that, then it should be changed on Vista's page, because the same thing is there.

Also, try to remember to leave your signature from now on. Subrosian 23:58, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Kliel vs. Curiel
Aren't you the one who originally argued that Franky House should be taken as the correct translation? The Pope 23:11, October 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * No, actually I didn't. In fact, I believe I went the other way in some cases. For the case of this guy's name, Kliel seems farther than Curiel in pronunciation accuracy.Mugiwara Franky 23:16, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Wait what? Since when does pronunciation count? That's like saying that Luffy's name would be Rufi just because most Japanese people would say it that way. Drunk Samurai 05:45, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * For characters with official romanization like Luffy, it kinda doesn't matter due to the fact the author has shown how he wants the name to be spelled in English.


 * For characters without any official romanization yet like this guy, having names that are nearer to the pronunciation have a higher chance of it being closer to what the author may want it to be spelled than a fancy interpretation. If Oda reveals the romanization and its wrong, then okay since no one knows beforehand what he intended before the reveal. Kinda like Oz before Oda revealed it be Oars.Mugiwara Franky 09:17, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Curiel's first appearance
I don't think this is too big of a deal, but I noticed that Curiel's first appearance was actually on page 16 of Chapter 552 rather than 553. You can see him with the rest of Whitebeard's crew when Ace is asking why the crew didn't just leave him behind. For future reference (in case this character is named and gets his own article), the unnamed fishman commander also first appeared in Chapter 552.
