Talk:Evening Elephant

Night Elephant
For the name, Might Guy had said Night Elephant, not Evening Elephant. Could it be possible that I'm just missing something?

This name was mentioned only in the manga sites.—Entondark (talk) 22:26, March 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * The first kanji is translated as Evening not Night. — Shakhmoot Nadeshiko Village Symbol.svg (Talk) 22:28, March 17, 2014 (UTC)

If you'll excuse my asking, what's the difference? I know we have those words, but the Japanese of what I've seen so far don't share the same distinctions, Dawn/Morning, Midday/Afternoon, Evening/Night? I'm not trying to argue the point, I'm just really interested to know. :D --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 01:18, March 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * As with Morning Peacock, the Japanese is quite clear here. 夕 is "evening". If it were to be "night", it would be 夜. ~SnapperTo 02:08, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * What Snapper said. Day<->night, morning<->midday<->evening. Seelentau 愛議 09:14, March 18, 2014 (UTC)


 * Except, no English speaking person uses "midday." It would not be Morning<->Daytime<->Evening, it would be Morning<->Afternoon<->Evening. This is how most English speaking people refer to the times of the day. If we are using Daytime Tiger and not Afternoon Tiger, then the Japanese text is clearly being translated fluidly. By the same principle, Evening Elephant and Night Elephant could be used interchangeably depending on the context when translating it to English. I honestly think that for continuity, the techniques should be named: Morning Peacock, Afternoon Tiger, and Evening Elephant. Not only are these terms Western by nature, so is Might Guy's name and character. —Genius1442 (talk) 03:46, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * ah well, I don't know about all quirks of the English language. ^^ Seelentau 愛議 11:10, March 20, 2014 (UTC)

Image
Could have a problem if a second image was added to the infobox to show the effect of a punch?—Entondark (talk) 18:24, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. You can add a second image. :) ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 18:41, March 19, 2014 (UTC)

Alright. :) ~Entondark (talk) 18:45, March 19, 2014 (UTC)

Issoku, Nisoku, Sansoku, Yonsoku & Gosoku
Should something be added about each step being named as Issoku, Nisoku, Sansoku, Yonsoku and Gosoku?--Jusmick99 (talk) 03:55, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * It will be once the raws confirm how it should be written/translated.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 06:39, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's most likely 速 soku, meaning speed or gear. Seelentau 愛議 11:10, March 20, 2014 (UTC)
