Talk:Strange Transmission Distant Shadow

Shouldn't it be written Den'ien'ei or something like that?--LeafShinobi (talk) 22:48, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

Doesn't this use Attack of the Twin Demons and Sakon and Ukon's Kekkei Genkai, which Kabuto gained, to work?  The Spiral Master (--Delve Into the Spiral--) 21:26, November 5, 2014 (UTC)

Lemme guess, is it a pun on "DNA"? Otherwise, we should translate it directly to the literal English, because this does not sound like any religious references like Amaterasu or Kamui. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 06:43, November 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, if I were localizing this for Viz, I'd translate it as something like "Disturbing Necro-Augmentation (DNA)". It's not even that liberal a translation, really. FF-Suzaku (talk) 04:46, December 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I like it 0__o--Elve Talk Page 13:40, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

Do we want to change the name of this article to match the English it's based on, as we do with Elbow, Laser Circus, etc.? ~SnapperTo 02:15, January 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * There is difference, though: Kana of Elbow and Laser Circus are written with Kanakana(エルボ— and レイサ— サ—カス) while kana of Strange Transmission Distant Shadow is written with hiragana(でんいえんえい). --JouXIII (talk) 10:53, February 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Bump. --JouXIII (talk) 10:52, February 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * We are supposed to use the literal English, correct? Then why DNA? Munchvtec (talk) 11:53, February 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * In that case, the name should be changed back. --Shrek4chan (talk) 12:31, February 26, 2016 (UTC)

Name p3
I have perceived that the name for this jutsu has made so much trouble for you guys, and it also becomes a pet peeve in my mind once I see this name. Man, Kabuto Yakushi sucks at naming his own jutsu, particularly this one.

I'm coming with a name for this one to maintain its literal translation and its DNA initial, word-for-word. First off, the D corresponds to two Chinese characters 傳(lit. Transmission) 異(lit. Strangeness). We will give it a word starting with D to cover this two ideas: Divergent. Then, the N corresponds to one character 遠(lit. Distant), and it calls for a word starting with N. We have a candidate for that, albeit somewhat awkward: Non-relative. Finally, the A corresponds to the last character 影(lit. Shadow), and the word starting A for it would be: Apparition.

There we have it: Divergent Non-relative Apparition. Hope that it works. --Edward Knave (talk) 16:07, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
