Re: Kanji + Translations
Well, we used that page before and I can see where they're coming from: I'd trust them. Or at least, I think they have more credibility than me, even though we all went by what we heard. That is if they don't have an episode script.
 * 砂陣 止威砂 with the latter reading シーサー would be like Kumo's techniques, a foreign word with matching Kanji.
 * 医療水遁 ミズカマキリ is basically what we have, but the mizukamakiri is an actual animal. I didn't know that.
 * 砂巌拳 changed the second Kanji, no idea why.
 * 偏光砂陣 熱砂迷彩 matches what we have.
 * 医療水遁 ミズクラゲ was written in Katakana again, even though there's no mizukerage animal. Turns out there is.
 * 盲漠砂陣 濃偉砂 has Kanji, as I thought. They also changed the second Kanji from 爆 to 漠. 盲漠 mōbaku isn't an actual word, but 漠 means "vague;  obscure;  desert;  wide", so I guess it makes more sense than 爆.

So yes, I'd rather rely on them than on my foreign ear. As I said somewhere else, the Iryo Suiton from that medical girl sounds like Iryo Suito to me, so I'm not 100% trustable in that regard. • Seelentau 愛 議 20:19, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

I went ahead and moved the articles. The only problem I stumbled upon is 迷彩 meisai. The same word is used in Mu's Dustless Bewildering Cover, however, the Kanji are different (迷塞). I'm wondering if that's a mistake on the databook author's side. • Seelentau 愛 議 22:42, April 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's like Elbow, but there's no real translation for シーサー. It's a loanword from the Okinawan language, which in turn based it on the sanskrit word siṃha, which simply means lion. • Seelentau 愛 議 18:49, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm, do we have a similar case? We could either transcribe the Katakana (Shīsā), translate the Kanji (Stopping Authority Sand) or translate the original meaning (Lion). We could keep using the common English name (Shisa). • Seelentau 愛 議 19:01, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, we do have the Rinnegan, but the dojutsu follow other naming rules, right? If it was an English name, it would be easier... • Seelentau 愛 議 19:19, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
