Talk:Jabra

"Jyabura" or "Jabra"?
Shouldn't the name of the article be "Jabra" since that's how Oda wrote his name?--KnightoftheSea 00:07, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe there was another source from Oda wherein his name was spelled as Jabura or something different. Also, I believe the source where Jabra comes from also has Iceburg spelled as Iceberg.Mugiwara Franky 01:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Jyabura's name has many spelling variations. Some English-speaking fans spell it "Jabura", although the spelling of "Jyabura" is far more common. Japanese fans, on the other hand, seem to prefer spell it "Jabra". Eiichiro Oda himself has spelled it "Jabra", although as other spellings given at the same time were inaccurate it is unknown if this should be considered the correct spelling. '''

Okay, bringing this up because its an issue. This NEEDS rewriting, we claim we try to use the most legit spelling right? Well... ~Here we're saying Oda wrote the other name right? Isn't Oda's spelling final? I don't know the source the name came from to write this myself, so can someone with the knowledge do so please? This can be considered a contridiction of our policy if it isn't sorted. One-Winged Hawk 08:26, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

It was said that it was only spelled like that in a Shounen Jump poll. That isn't done by Oda so Oda never spelled it either way. Drunk Samurai 18:09, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

The english Viz manga volumes say Jabra Kingluffy1 16:20, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Oda is the official source so it doesn't matter what the volumes say. That would be like changing Bon Kurei to Bon Clay because that's what Funimation uses. SeaTerror 03:43, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
