Talk:Kiro Kiro no Mi

I've never seen Miss Valentine using the 5000 Kg press... When is it used? Maybe it's an anime only technique?Takanokami 15:28, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

I think that was the one she used on Usopp during the little Garden arc. SeaTerror 20:23, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be renamed as "Kiro Kiro no Mi", like any other Devil fruit written in katakana? SummerinGanymede (talk) 05:20, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

"'Kilo' is the short version of Kilogram that multiplies a unit by a thousand..." No, I'd say not. 05:23, November 19, 2012 (UTC)

Name
"Kilo" is English spelling. In Japanese (romaji spelling) "Kiro Kiro no Mi" is correct. --Klobis (talk) 04:48, December 13, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Klobis. If the names are to be written in English and not Romaji, then the fruits should be named Gom Gom no Mi, Bala Bala no Mi, Kilo Kilo no Mi and so forth. Since they are Gomu Gomu no Mi, Bara Bara no Mi, and so forth, it should be Kiro Kiro no Mi.Magnus Zeta (talk) 07:58, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Change it then. 08:47, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, please do. WU out -  09:07, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

This is an exception, since it is the only one to take its name directly from an english word. 16:50, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

I agree with DP on this one. And should we move the talk too? 16:53, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not sure if that's consistant, because then the Bomu Bomu no Mi should be called Bomb Bomb no Mi, the Supa Supa no Mi the Super Super no Mi, the Doa Doa no Mi the Door Door no Mi, and the Gasu Gasu no Mi the Gas Gas no Mi. Bomu, Supa, Doa, and Gasu may be English loanwords, but then again so is Kiro. Magnus Zeta (talk) 23:56, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

That argument was so bad I think it gave me cancer. SeaTerror (talk) 00:26, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. That's what happens on Sundays at 9AM. But seriously. Magnus Zeta (talk) 00:31, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

He meant if we usually put on the fruits name in the romaji and not english, why we keep Kilo Kilo instead to change it in Kiro Kiro? If we want to let it as it is, we should change Bomu Bomu in Bomb Bomb, Doa Doa in Door Door, Gasu Gasu in Gas Gas, Doru Doru in (can)dle (can)dle, Horo Horo in Hollow Hollow, Woshu Woshu in Wash Wash, Horu Horu in Hor(mon) Hor(mon), Magu Magu in Mag(ma) Mag(ma), which not make sense at all... I agree with him. 00:34, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Yep, exactly. 100,000,000 Magnus Zeta (Talk) 07:47, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

No the fruit's name is Kilo Kilo no Mi.It's the only fruit whose name is an english word.It's an exception.Deal with it. 07:58, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Gasu = Gas... --Klobis (talk) 09:30, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

I lol'd Staw. Stop trying to argue with people that KNOW THE LANGUAGE. 09:38, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

DP already said what needed to be said anyway. SeaTerror (talk) 21:51, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Nah, if we keep this as kilo, then we'd have to change it to gas instead of gasu, mag or magma instead of magu, door instead of doa, berry instead of beri, etc...

We don't "have" to do anything because of what we decide here. We can make exceptions, not just rules that apply to every single fruit ever. Not everything is a slippery slope. We should all stop exaggerating here.

As far as this case is concerned, I think if we went with "kiro", it would become significantly harder to realize the connection with the unit of mass. For people with no experience with the Japanese language, it's really easy to see the connection between "gas" and "gasu", but it's much, much harder to see it between "kilo" and "kiro" because phonetically, they're entirely different. 01:00, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

I agree. I don't see why all rules have to be blanket statements absolutely and without question. That's just asking for trouble when special cases like this one come along. Not every word is the same, so why act like they are? 06:20, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Will it just retain or will it be changed? I agree on DP. 7:37, 4/10/2013

Keep it as Kilo. The arguments saying the others have to be changed is bad. SeaTerror (talk) 17:03, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

I guess it was never written in latin characters, wasn't it? Maybe in Blue Deep on in one of the databook? I'm fine with making exceptions, but if this is an exceptions, as other said, I don't understand why Gasu Gasu no Mi shouldn't also be renamed Gas Gas no Mi since it's clearly named after the English/other languages word "gas". If you don't explain why this is an exception while other fruit's name aren't, it's just inconsistent. Hence if we make an exception, it shouldn't be "This one is fine", but rather "The one named after English words are fine". Personally I think we should rename it for consistency and avoid other discussions on other fruits.

Translate everything to English then if we were going to pull something like that. SeaTerror (talk) 17:20, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

It's just as you say, Levi. "Gasu" is obviously supposed to be "Gas" however, since we don't translate fruit names it remains as "Gasu". But since it's obvious to the english reader where the name comes from, it's not really a problem that it's untranslated. "Kiro" isn't obvious that it's "Kilo", so it is a problem if it's untranslated. That's why we should have an exception here. 17:31, April 10, 2013 (UTC)
