Talk:Horo Horo no Mi

Horo=Ghost
I think its been pointed out on wikipedia but when you type in "ghost" in a translator you get:

konpaku, rei, bourei, yuurei, youma, go-suto

Come up for all meaning ghost... Where is Horo? Horo brings up nothing when you reverse translation, the average Japanese to english dictionary can't find it. It can't find "ホロ" on most translation either but Babel says "hollow". I believe we need to remove that "ghost" thing, its incorrect. One-Winged Hawk 18:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Not exactly sure, since I'm not a translator, but I think it somehow has to do with the fact that Horo can mean ghost in a different dialect of Japanese or something like that. In any case, maybe it would be best to try the word out on several more translation sites or ask a translator directly on the matter. Also from experience, Babelfish isn't necessarily a good translating site in some areas.Mugiwara Franky 09:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't use babel translation. There is a ghost called a "hallow" (rarely can find info on it), but not its not Japanese folklore. One-Winged Hawk 14:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)


 * "It is possible that this fruit's name is a reference to the Bleach manga. In Bleach, there are bad souls who couldn't "pass on" and became evil called Hollows, similiar to the hollows produced by this fruit." I always thought that Hollow was just a Japan specific name for the Buddhist concept of Preta, or Hungry Ghosts. OTOH I don't know my Buddhism and could be completely off. 172.219.21.228 09:47, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

Hollow or Horror
I always thought horo is from horror, that would make more sense, both in pronunciation and meaning

Regardless of how much sense it makes, it's wrong. Sign your posts. 21:23, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Ghost Network?
Hey, does anyone know what chapter/episode the term "Ghost Network" comes from? I've been driving myself crazy looking for it in the chapters, so it might be an anime-only thing, but I can't find a reference for it anywhere on the wiki.--Xilinoc (talk) 17:32, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

Took a while to find the source, but seems it's from Chapter 453. Mentioned by the spider monkey zombie. 18:58, February 21, 2016 (UTC)

Yep, just confirmed it. Thanks a million, Kage.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:02, February 21, 2016 (UTC)
