Talk:Vinsmoke Judge

Name
Everyone prefers Jajji to Judge? Jajji is not a word; it is Japanese pronunciation. --Klobis (talk) 05:29, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

Then move it to Judge. 05:56, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

We should keep Jajji. It stays consistant with San+ji and Yon+ji (and probably Ichi+ji and Ni+ji too). We should simply keep the spelling sounding like "Judge" in the Trivia.

Yeah, I think Jajji is a safer bet. 10:26, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

ジャッジ does translate to "Judge" so I think his name should be Judge. I don't see a trend with the "-ji" in the Vinsmoke Family Meshack (talk) 10:51, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

@Meshack: Because the ones who have the "-ji" name are guys (like AWC said).

Everybody else: We have this same romanization issue with choosing between Purin and Pudding but with the awkward spelling in English, this one just favors "Judge".

We could also go with "Judji" if we want to keep both the judge pun and consistency with the obvious Vinsmoke name pattern. 12:19, July 14, 2016 (UTC)

I won't go into the culinary semantics of why we kept it Purin, but it wasn't a romanization issue completely. I would be tempted to keep it Jajji if his name were a number pun like Sanji and Yonji, but that does not seem to be the case. As Klobis said, Jajji isn't a word, it's a pronunciation of Judge; just like how Basukabiru isn't a word, but a pronunciation of the character Baskerville, whose name is also a real word. We shouldn't assume that the father's name follows the same pattern as his sons'. It should be Judge. 01:19, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

What DancePowderer said Meshack (talk) 01:32, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Judge works for me. And as ever if it gets romanised we can change it back.

I prefer Jajji or Judji. It keeps in the j pattern. 15:34, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Judge sounds phonetically awkward. We have no proof that the father's name is or isn't supposed to follow the naming theme of the male Vinsmokes. We should keep it as Jajji until the Viz translation on Monday or until an official romanization shows up. 73.46.0.4 17:20, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

It is possible that the father's name is supposed to be "judge" and is supposed to follow the naming theme of the male Vinsmokes (he is the father, so one can let it slide that he is not a numbered offspring), though the pun would only work in Japanese ("Judji" being a halfway point).--Sandwichman2449 (talk) 20:01, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

If you read the section, more prefer Judge over Jajji because Jajji isn't a word and Jajji is Judge. The others want Jajji because Sanji and Yonji have "-ji" Meshack (talk) 20:07, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

I did read the section.--Sandwichman2449 (talk) 20:24, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

I lean more towards "Judge" over "Jajji", as it conveys his position of authority. The "#-ji/ju" theme could be specific to Sanji's generation, like how the Neptune family's theme of "-boshi/hoshi" is specific to Shirahoshi's.

We could put in the trivia section how the literal romanization of his name somewhat follows the his kids' theme.

I didn't really have an opinion on this earlier but I think Judge is better. It's not like we use Rufi or Kyarotto, "-ji" suffix aside. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 21:19, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Just to clarify, in Japanese, his name perfectly follows the "ジ" pattern. Sanji サンジ, Yonji ヨンジ, Jajji/Judji/Judge ジャッジ. 21:40, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Jajji is better than Judge especially as shown by JOP. SeaTerror (talk) 21:42, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

How will this be settled? Do we wait for Viz or what? Meshack (talk) 23:14, July 18, 2016 (UTC)
