Forum:Mihawk's name

Should the "Translation and Dub Issues" section be removed? I don't think it should. But that's what 125.164.119.216‎ keeps doing...among other things.

 * Nope since it mostly addresses the romanization problems with Mihawk's name and other things that can be misinterpreted and lost in translation.Mugiwara Franky 05:02, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Then can you please do something about the anon? There's a bit of an edit war between us.

 * The section is composed of completely false information though. I made some posts in June regarding this--the theory posted is nonsensical. The whole argument that Mihawk's surname is composed from "Jules" and "Joule" makes no sense due to the omission of "rakyu" from "Jurakyuuru." You can't do that in Japanese; essentially what was done was a rearrangement of letters to suit the theorist's needs. The romanization for "Juraquille" into Japanese is wrong too. Whomever wrote that had absolutely no knowledge of how to speak or write Japanese. If nothing else, it needs a complete rewrite. It's mostly poor speculation. -Mr. Toto 19:06, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * About ALL thats confirmible, which I won't deny is the dracula bit. If you take that away your left with another name.  Thats about it.  I'd prefer this article be just "mihawk" but everyone wants a full name.  As for the "Juraquile" bit, wrong, it was confirmed by a knowledgeable speaker of Japanese at A.Park.  There you go.  In fact at the time the person pointed out that was a poor translation of Mihawk's name.  It comes purely from K-F's who I know at least once have admitted their own error in the name.  This was an earlier day translation, same as "merman" appears in their sub and THEY have admitted their mistake there.  I'm expecting the full 360 degrees back to "Dracule" when the proper english name comes out... Since that is close to the name "dracula".  You must understand there was a discussion over this (and I was corrected with one mistake I initally made) and it was written done as "possible".  BUT we need that vital Oda spelling and we've never recieved that.  This is like the discussion over "Odz" which turned out to be "Oars", no one even thought of that one.


 * And please, I'm not a native speaker but I do have a fair amount of knowledge on the Japanese language. Enough to lecture someone on the confusions the language causes, since being a long time anime fan (from a pre-"rabid" Naruto anime fan era) I have read a lot about this kind of thing.

 * I also write "Mihawk" in other articles, but someone always goes and lengthens the name. My reason for doing this is to avoid name changing and a heap of edits following the final romanization once it appears (its over due).  I'm often disappointed when it happens.

You know I really didn't think about this before but why is everybody ignoring anything Mr. Toto is saying? Is it because they know his name is really Dracule? Drunk Samurai 02:04, September 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I didn't know there was a conversation here. I'm not ignoring anyone... But thanks for pointing it out elsewhere.  I'm adressing his reply now. One-Winged Hawk 10:52, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
