Talk:Krieg

Okay-we say that hes called "pirate admiral". However, in episode 45 of the original, he is called "Kizoku Kantai TEITOKU" by Brandnew. And according to the info on the Nelson Royale article, "teitoku" is equivalent to "Commodore".

What gives?

 * From what I understand of the matter is that "Teitoku" can be translated as different ranks depending on how it is arranged or used in the medium it is used. It also depends on who's translating. This also applies to the other ranks. In fact in some other translations like in the Filipino version, Aokiji's rank is translated to General.


 * In the case of Don Krieg, I believe "Teitoku" was translated to Pirate Admiral because of the way his title was used, the way he was described, and other such notes.


 * For Nelson, I believe it was translated to Commodore because of the way he commanded his troops and because calling him an Admiral would make some confusion. In any case, it's best not to dwell too much on it since the rank of "Teitoku" doesn't exactly exist on Oda's Marine heirachy.Mugiwara Franky 13:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Page name
Don is a prefix. I think the name of this page should be just Krieg. --Klobis (talk) 09:04, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

I so agree. 09:17, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Same for Don Accino. 09:17, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yup.

I'm just curious, but what does the "Don" mean? And we'll have to make sure we mention what it means on the page after they're renamed. 16:17, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Would be "Mr" in Spanish, I guess.

Uhhh no. Don is part of his name, same with Accino. 00:54, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

I dunno. Not many people during the arc really refered to him as "DON Krieg", and it can just as well be an alias. "DON" means something like big and powerful. As Tom always said, "Something-something, with a DON!" 00:59, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

It's how he was referred to during most of it. Gin always said Don Krieg this, Don krieg that. It's obviously the name he goes by and not just a title. 01:23, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

No, Don isn't part of the name. It's the same as "Captain" Kuro, "Captain" John etc. His Wanted Poster in the manga and the databooks both have his name as just "Krieg". Also, if Don was part of his name it would have been written in Katakana, not Kanji. 01:26, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Nobody calls Kuro Captain Kuro as a name. Gin is referring to him as Gin throughout the whole arc like it is his NAME. Luffy does it too if I recall. 01:43, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Don=首領 in kanji, which means head or leader. It is not his family name or something. --Klobis (talk) 01:53, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

Well yeah, that's not his family name or anything, but it is what his crew calls him and the chefs at the Baratie. 02:25, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

If it's not a family name, then it's not his name. I say change them. 02:29, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
