Talk:Ideo

Cyborg
Isn't he a cyborg ? His shoulder growing is like Franky's shoulder cannon and after the punch, he released a blast from his shoulder.Salamancc (talk) 10:05, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

His palms look sort of mechanical too, but i'm sure nobody will accept this unless there is a solid confirmation.Vazelos3 (talk) 10:22, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

What Vazelos said. It's speculation until it's utterly confirmed. WU out -  July 17, 2013 10:36 (UTC)

You can't add it in the article. It's pure speculation. 10:42, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but information that are not found in official materials are considered speculation. And speculation is against the site policies. If you wish, you may take this up in a blog or forum. 11:25, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Ideon
Why remove the Ideon reference? Because it's not confirmed?

Issho looking like Zatoichi isn't confirmed either, so that would have to be deleted as well then.

His appearance seems to resemble Shintaro Katsu, more specifically his role as Zatoichi , the blind swordsman.

This is as much conjecture as that line!

The reference is fine, in my opinion. I reworded it a little bit so it fits with other such trivia that we've allowed. The wiki has a general rule against stating that a certain character is (or may be) based on someone or something else unless its stated expressly in an SBS or something similar, since there are a number of instances where people have put down really tenuous links, and the word 'may' sounds too speculative. Given that there's a name AND they share a unique physical feature, it's highly unlikely that it's a mere coincidence, but we still have to wait for the SBS question. 14:50, July 18, 2013 (UTC)
