Talk:Hitsugisukan

We should write his name as “Hitsughis Khan”
A portmanteau of “hitsugi” and “Genghis Khan” while being faithful to the katakata spelling.

His name is a portmanteau of "hitsugi" and "Jingisukan" which is a Japanese mutton dish. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 23:31, January 6, 2020 (UTC)

Excuse me, what is the source on this? He clearly resembles Genghis Khan (which in katakana is "Chingisu Kan").Kamozerozero (talk) 18:46, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

No source, but the mutton dish is named after Genghis Khan, so that goes for a double reference. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 18:56, January 7, 2020 (UTC)

What you are saying doesn't make sense. A reference is only that if it's intended by the author. We shouldn't assume Oda was specifically referencing the historical figure and the dish named after him. Unless, of course, there is some evidence in the manga or some interview that clarifies it.Kamozerozero (talk) 00:00, January 8, 2020 (UTC)

There's no reason to believe the name is referencing the dish other than it being a mutton dish. However I think the fact that it's impossible to tell what he's referencing specifically means we shouldn't romanize his name as something like Hitsughis Khan and should just keep it as simple as possible until there's more evidence.
