Talk:Six Red Yang Formation

Yang vs. Sun
Why is it "Six Red Yang Encampment", not "Six Red Sun Encampment"? Based on Four Red Suns Battle Encampment, shouldn't we rename this page, or that one, so they are both consistent with each other? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 06:53, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

 * Because Seenlauntau, our local Japanese translator, got his hands on the RAW and translated it. Never, ever, ever, ever, trust scanalations for proper translations. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 07:00, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I noticed how most of the time the scanlations are wrong with translating. 07:09, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, I mean, both are Yōjin, so why not Sun or Yang for both? Scanlation not counting, why differ in our own translation for these two techniques? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 07:24, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Because kanji have multiple meanings, and this is how this kanji translates. Just because romanji sound the same, do not make them the same meaning. Homophones are rampant in Japanese. Simple as that. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 07:27, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well I know Yō represents both, but how did it occur to us that this kanji means Yang, and not sun, or the other way around for that? Not really arguing, just curious. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 07:39, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * 四赤陽陣 六赤陽陣
 * Then I'll argue. Did Seenlauntau actually translate these? Because unless I am more blind than I usually am, they are spelled exactly the same except for the instance of Four and Six. Either one is wrong or both are.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 07:45, August 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Seenlantau did translate them. Talk:Narutopedia. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 07:58, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

The thing is, 陽 is the Japanese word for Yang, but as we all know, Yang comprises many things, one of them is sun. If you search for 陽 in the Japanese wikipedia, it redirects you to the Yin-Yang article. That's why I chose Yang over sun as a translation. Furthermore, we have translated 陽 always that way, otherwise we wouldn't have Yang Release, but Light Release. Seelentau 愛議 13:04, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * And my name is Seelentau, dammit :D If you can't spell it, just call me Tau, like the Greek letter :) Seelentau 愛議 13:10, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sees "Seenlantau" spits out coffee. Hahaha xD--Elveonora (talk) 13:26, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Well, lord, its hard to spell >_< From now on, I'll just call him Seel. That's more amusing anyways. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 13:39, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * But "Seel" does not make sense, if it would be "Seele", it could be translated into "soul" but without the e, it would be like "sou". At least "Tau" can be translated into "dew". :DNorleon (talk) 13:58, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
