Talk:McGuy

Hey im pretty sure his name is MacGuy or McGuy

McGuy or Makugai
Is he "McGuy" or "Makugai"? Similar to Squardo and Squad. The "English"-sounding name could be the real one, while the other one could be a romanization or translation error or something. Yatanogarasu 20:19, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Makugai. It would have to be romanized as McGuy for it to be correct. Drunk Samurai 17:08, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

It WAS Romanized as McGuy. I just checked an issue of SHONEN JUMP over at Barnes and Noble, and this guys' Romanized as McGuy. --Reikson 21:22, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

So...
How do we change the title of this page? --Reikson 16:24, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Actually the fact his name was written like that in shonen jump dont prove that his name isn't makugai, remember we DONT want to repeat the bad translation of Oars. i highly doubt Oda would call this guy McGuy... seriously, he's japanese. What japanese man would call a guy McGuy as opposed to makugai?Biropg 23:46, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Same Japanese guy who called another character "Franky", another character "Tom", Another character "Rob Lucci", and another character "Monkey D. Luffy". Kouta Hirano (Author of Hellsing) and Hiromu Arakawa (Author of Fullmetal Alchemist) are Japanese too, and they call their characters "Integral Wingates Hellsing", "Alexander Anderson", "Edward Elric", and "Winry Rockbell". I don't know what this guy's name should really be romanized as, but using the "He's Japanese, why would a Japanese guy give a character a name that isn't Japanese in a manga" is probably the flimsiest argument I have ever heard.DemonRin 02:59, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

We don't. Only the manga, Databooks, and Oda himself can be used as sources. You don't want a Bleach Wikia fiasco where they used trading cards as a source. SeaTerror 17:32, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Point taken demonrin, but seaterror is right. Oda has yet to name him in letters so lets just leave it at this until more facts surfaceBiropg 18:57, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, Demon Rin is actually not for renaming the page to McGuy. She's just arguing against Biropg's conclusion that if an author is of one nationality then he wouldn't use names of another nationality that's all. Nowhere in her statement, does it seem like she's "for" changing the page. At the very least, it seems her statement's more on a neutral stance.Mugiwara Franky 07:47, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

Reason for "McGuy"
"Makugai" is not a Japanese name. And in Japanese, McGuire is pronounced Makugaia. So it is likely that Makugai is McGuy. --Klobis 06:40, February 21, 2011 (UTC)
