Talk:Fencing Style

It's name?
I'm not 100% exactly sure on this but is the name of this fighting style, Hanatou Sanchou or something? I'm not totally sure since only two techniques have been shown and no full explaination and past has of yet been revealed.Mugiwara Franky 05:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sure it hasn't been named yet... The techniques have. One-Winged Hawk 21:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay the style of attacks are iaidō, yet thats not mentioned. Also, we should have considered renaming this article to this quite some while ago. One-Winged Hawk 08:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Moving the Music or Renaming the Page
While he does use his sword to strum his violin and the music complements his sword use nicely, Brooke's musical attacks aren't part of his fencing style. Thus this page should either be renamed so that it is about a broader topic or the music (currently called Hypnosis) section should be moved to its own article.

Anyone have an opinion on this?Bastian964 21:37, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

I agree, it would be better to give that its own page, but the problem is we would be just as clueless on what to call the hypnosis aspect of Brook's fighting style as we would be with his sword style. It would just be another conjectural article which we try to minimize. Wait until there's a name for his fighting style(s) and then we can move things accordingly. 14:55, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Having the name for an article that isn't just speculative, it is clearly false would seem to be just about the worst thing to have for the name of an article. Having two articles with speculative titles but ones that aren't totally false or having a more general name for this article (such as Brook's Fighting Style) would seem to be better.

Your title is actually worst than this one. It makes no sense to call it moving the music and is also a pretty bad name. SeaTerror 22:33, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Did you read anything I wrote besides the title before you commented? Moving the Music was not a name I was suggesting, I was suggesting that we should move the music from the page or that we rename the page. *facepalm* Bastian964 16:34, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hypnosis attacks a devil fruit ability?
I propose that we move all of the Hypnosis-type techniques into the Yomi Yomi no Mi page, as Brook clearly stated that it was because of his Devil Fruit abilities that he was able to use his music in such a hypnotic way. InsertBadassNameHere 10:44, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

And where exactly did he say his Devil Fruit was behind his hypnosis attacks? 14:25, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Quote from the mangastream translation of the chapter: "The powerful souls of people fired up and and moved from the music that I play..." Mind you, this was when he was speaking about his newly discovered powers. I don't know, I might be reading into it a bit too much but it seems to me that this soul energy of his is influencing other peoples souls through his music. InsertBadassNameHere 10:57, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

You're reading into it too much. Musicians are supposed to affect the atmosphere by the music they play. That was before we even knew anything about his soul capabilities. That line is from the scene in Harahetternia when he was trying to get those villagers fired up, right? His musical talent seems to be behind his hypnosis. 14:49, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
