Talk:Tsurujo

Prefix
This character is named Tsuru, not O-Tsuru. The O- prefix is a period (15th century) accurate addition to female names to make them “flow” better, as at the time women traditionally had very short two-syllable names (E.g. Tama, Toko, Kiku, contrast Shinobu). For clarity I recommend removing the O- prefix from her official names, as while it is customarily added, it does not follow the pattern of other female characters (most clearly, Toko has explicitly noted this trend in the manga). 73.223.92.63 12:23, December 14, 2018 (UTC) Tarnish

WTF, man? Everyone here knows that. That's why the articles don't have the "O-" prefix on them.

Characters are typically introduced with honorifics on their articles if they are introduced like that in the manga. Also, Viz has included the prefix for most of their names, so the official English name section is correct. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 16:17, December 14, 2018 (UTC)

The article content and its title should still be the same. Either it needs to be moved, or the "o-" needs to be removed from the text. • Seelentau 愛 議 16:29, December 14, 2018 (UTC)

Rename?
Should we rename her as Tsurujo? Since she was named as such when she was younger and Tsuru might be her shorter name? 07:48, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

I agree. She should be renamed. Cracker-Kun (talk) 08:08, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

I agree too. Cdwp22 (talk) 14:57, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

If the english english translation still uses tsurujo shall we change it? 05:01, October 27, 2019 (UTC)

Official translation: "Miss Tsuru". I think -jo is just an honorific suffix. 22:44, October 27, 2019 (UTC)

The -jo part of her name meant she was unmarried at the time (same as "Miss"). It shouldn't be apart of her name unless they say so. Both -jo and -josan mean this, and might come up in other parts of the Wano arc Doctursea (talk) 01:35, October 28, 2019 (UTC)

Isn't that 嬢? It is 女. Like Imai Tsurujo, jo is a part of the name. --Klobis (talk) 05:29, October 28, 2019 (UTC)

I will say it's possible that it's suppose to be apart of her name, but I think it's more likely an honorific. That is the symbo for woman and is the first part of 嬢 for that reason. I'm pretty sure that was just Oda's way of writing the same honorific. I'm sure the official translators were thinking the same thing, but I haven't seen the RAWs myself so I was just stating based on the romanization put here.
