Talk:Kozuki Family

Name
So once again Oda seems to have changed names midway through. Are we going with Kozuki or Kogetsu?

The current one, obviously.

It's been confirmed that the name changed in the raw by sandman, from AP. No one knows why, though, but it appears Kozuki and Kogetsu mean the same thing (shining moon). KingCannon (talk) 15:15, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

Just keep to the current one, we'll see next chapter how it will go 16:21, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

So why'd you get rid of the kanji? It's still the same. 18:06, February 25, 2016 (UTC)

Name Placement
I'm not trying to start any arguments here, there's just something that's been bugging me. When Momonosuke was introduced with his full name, do we know if the order in the raw was the same for Momo's full name as it was for Sanji's or anyone with a last name? If you notice, Sanji was referred to as Vinsmoke Sanji, following the traditional family name preceding the first name. Yet, in chapter 817, Momo was called Momonosuke Kozuki in his infobox. I feel like Oda intentionally pulled a cultural inversion with Momo's name and the other characters' names by putting his family name second, which is opposite the norm. I just want to make sure of this before saying anything about it. 05:21, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

Mangastream being mangastream. Kozuki's first. And Sanji was never called Vinsmoke Sanji, just "Sanji of the Vinsmoke family" or words to that effect. 104.238.32.42 08:48, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for appeasing my paranoia and curiosity. 09:30, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

Retainers Question
Is there any particular reason why Kiku is being included under "Allies and Affiliation" rather than "Retainers?"

Not to mention Jibu’emon, who worked for Momonosuke’s grandfather. I get that sometimes everyone wants to hear something with a tone of confirmation, but if it’s explicitly shown, then what’s the point for waiting?Observer Supreme 13:51, October 6, 2018 (UTC)

Kiku was never confirmed to be a retainer, and Jibuemon didn't say which shogun. Rhavkin (talk) 17:02, October 6, 2018 (UTC)

Except you know she is a samurai who has been both textually and visually grouped with the other Retainers. It would be logical inference to include her as a retainer as well. Hell, I'd say there's more evidence to include her as a retainer than to include Jinbe as a member of the SHs, yet he is still included all the same. --Ddog892 (talk) 18:28, October 6, 2018 (UTC)

Still speculation. Rhavkin (talk) 18:35, October 6, 2018 (UTC)

Jibuemon is definitely a servant for the Kozuki Family, considering that he refers to the family members with honorifics. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 23:03, October 6, 2018 (UTC)

Based on context, there is, as Ddog892 said, just as much "evidence" to include Kiku as a retainer as there is to include Jinbe as a member of the Strawhats. She is consistently shown in the flashbacks to be with the other retainers and to react to events the same way a retainer would, crying alongside Kinemon and Momonosuke when remembering the attack on the castle. Barring confirmation to the contrary, I believe that she should be included among the retainers. 58.89.146.212 01:48, October 7, 2018 (UTC)
