Talk:Blackbeard Pirates

Blackbeard Pirates
Why does this encyclopedia use  黒ひげ海賊団 to say Blackbeard Pirates because  I hope you understand that this doesn't mean Blackbeard Pirates it means Blackbeard Pirates, romanization Kurohige Kaizoku-dan, when the way to say BLACKBEARD PIRATES is  黒ひげ海賊 which directly romanizes to kuro hi ge kaizoku.--Artist of Flash 13:25, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I am aware that in the One Piece series they always say Kaizoku-dan in the Kaizoku portion of a pirate teams name but this is a messed up translation also your 黒ひげ海賊団 directly translates to Blackbeard Pirate team which would romanize as kuro hi ge chīmu. So all I wanted to ask is does Oda use the term 黒ひげ海賊団 to describe the crew. --Artist of Flash 13:25, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh wells... I'm about to sign off for X-mas so I might as well reply to this before I go. Why else do we also use "whitebeard" when the translation doesn't directly mean "Whitebeard"?  We have to use some form of standardized English, and even on forums you'll see this translation for the English side.  I can't say much more then this.  I don't know the Japanese text enough to say the opposite direction on the Japanese side.  It seems to be whoever edits the text finds the one most appropriate to use and the rest of us can't take their word against it since we know no better.  I hope that much clears things up.  If you think it is wrong, check up on it  and reread the raws to see what was written.  If you're right then it can be altered.  I have no raws on my new computer and my old one is down to check this out myself.


 * Heck, my computer hasn't even got the Japanese text on it installed so I see is boxes right now until I find the DVD for windows... I can still post the phrase on google to see results, because the text may not show but the letters still register.  One-Winged Hawk 14:27, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it's more or less the same thing. Kaizoku-dan from what I gather means Pirate team indeed. However in terms of common English structure that doesn't exactly sound right. The closest equivalent would be Pirate crew. Going by that, it would be the Blackbeard Pirate crew. When put in perspective, saying Blackbeard Pirates would more or less be the same.Mugiwara Franky 16:31, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
