Talk:Germa 66

Nation
"The germa are a nation that has nowhere to call home" - from mangastream. I'm sure the translation is not correct, however we should check the raws when available to see the implications for us.

Well we know that they have no island to call home, so we can only assume that their ship is home. And that translation isn't bad per se, but we should double check when the chapter is released. Dragonquiz (talk) 16:07, May 19, 2016 (UTC)

My point is that if they are indeed a "nation" then we should add the Category:Kingdoms category too.

Symbol
Is the coloring correct? Other then the marking on the Den Den Ship and Reiju tattoos, the rest of the symbol appearances are white writing on black background (shirts, headphones, sails). Rhavkin (talk) 15:01, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

I don't think there's an established main colorscheme, as both seem to be prevalent. I used black-on-white because all instances of white-on-black are either too small or obscured. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 16:08, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

Coloring is impossible to tell in manga. A dark color like that could even be a deep red like what happened with Karin from Naruto. SeaTerror (talk) 16:30, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

KKotB, so isn't it better not to put anything before confirmation? We can change the image when we get a better one but we shouldn't use a wrong one.

ST, don't nitpick on the color. It's still should be light color on dark color and not the other way.

I agree, The theme of of white on black is even on their capes.87.69.142.211 16:59, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

I would consider the main symbol the one on the sail, however since there is no clear shot of it, there are not problems with the "secondary" symbol.

Fifth panel on page 11 isn't clear??87.69.142.211 19:57, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

I don't see it... link?

I'm guessing you forgot not to count the artworks? http://img.mangastream.com/cdn/manga/51/3411/11.png 87.69.142.211 05:28, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

If you are talking about the "headset", I don't know if that will fit the infobox... It's also a little bit cut and it has a white circle around it which is not part of the symbol, but if we use that image we will suggest it is instead. I'd personally just wait a better shot in a future chapter.

You misunderstood me. I said clear as in "This is is clearly their symbol colors" not as in "this is a clear image of their symbol".

As Rhavkin said: " We can change the image when we get a better one but we shouldn't use a wrong one. " and a secondary symbol is the wrong one. 87.69.142.211 06:22, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

Nobody knows the colors because manga is black and white. SeaTerror (talk) 08:55, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

There's no evidence that one color scheme is more correct than another-it's just purely out of necessity. Obviously you would use light letters on dark objects and dark letters on light objects. The only important thing is that the shape of the 66 is correct which it is Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 12:13, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

Are you kidding? they're not writing "66" on objects randomly, their uniform are dark with light writing, their sails are dark with light writing, that is their symbol. Luffy poor drawing of the Straw Hats jolly roger isn't the symbol so it isn't and shouldn't be in their Infobox. The same apply here.

Their symbol is light writing on dark background. If there isn't a proper image of it (full, not necessarily in good quality) we don't use anything until we got one. We can put this symbol, along with Yonji beltbuckel in a separate section or in a gallery like the Straw Hat Pirates Jolly Roger section. Rhavkin (talk) 12:52, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

I agree the light on dark symbol is the primary symbol, but if you say that the other is not their symbol as well I disagree and since it's another version of their symbol then we can use it for all intents and purposes until we find a clear shot of their primary symbol.

''Luffy poor drawing of the Straw Hats jolly roger isn't the symbol so it isn't and shouldn't be in their Infobox. The same apply here.'' - No, that's not the same case. Luffy's drawing was just one thing, is not used consistently on many places. What are you saying with the correct analogy would be that this is not another way to identify the Whitebeard Pirates.

First of all, regarding Luffy's drawing, you're right, i just forgot about Whitebeard's and didn't have another example.

As for Germa symbol, lets sums it up: A. is their symbol light on dark or dark on light? B. If the symbol is light on dark, should the dark on light be used for the Infobox?

I say that it is light on dark and the inverted version shouldn't be use. If in the future the background will be colored red (for example SeaTeror) this would be obvious that the inverted shouldn't be used so why and how this is different? Rhavkin (talk) 15:45, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

Unless we see a Jolly Roger or something more official there is no proof that light on dark is the main colorscheme. All we know is that the Germa 66 wear mostly dark clothes which also factors into their ship design. Thus by necessity they have to use light letters so they can be seen.

I don't care if we change it later once we get a better image of the other color scheme, but there is no reason for replacing this good image with a crappier one just because of that rather tenuous reasoning. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 17:32, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

It's better to have no picture then a wrong one. 87.69.142.211 17:36, May 22, 2016 (UTC)
