Talk:Sword of Totsuka

Kusanagi and Totsuka
Okay, once and for all, is the Totsuka a version of the Kusanagi or the opposite? Yatanogarasu 23:36, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a Kusanagi sword not the opposite. Apparently it was a bad translation that said it was the opposite --Cerez365 (talk) 23:39, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

Name
Shouldn't we call this "Sword of Ten Hands Long" or "Totsuka no Tsurugi" instead? Like Decapitating Carving Knife or Samehada. Instead of a half translation, make it a full. Yatanogarasu 23:39, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I strongly disagree. Not only is the name of the Totsuka no Tsurugi completely meaningless here, but translating it fully would also obscure the links it has with Japanese mythology. We might as well translate Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. For that matter, we might as well translate Kusanagi. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:47, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * As for the 'no tsurugi' part, I'd rather not keep that Japanese. It only adds confusion, making the name unnecessarily long, and translating it actually adds to the name. It has meaning and is relevant, making it logical to translate. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:49, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
