Talk:Twelve Guardian Ninja

Disbanded?
The manga says nothing about the 12 Guardian Ninja being disbanded. Is this something from the anime? --ShounenSuki 14:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a lot about the 12 guardian ninja inside the current anime filler (though I'm a bit out of date, I haven't been able to watch for weeks), so I would expect it may come from the anime. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Aug 26, 2008 @ 17:52 (UTC)
 * According to the anime episode 58, the first twelve members, including Chiriku & Asuma, are deceased, but the organization is still active. Jacce 18:41, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Can someone confirm the Japanese title of this group? I can't find what ShounenSuki or Gojita put up. But what I can say is I've seen Twelve Guard Ninja of Fire as opposed to Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja.--TheUltimate3 17:19, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe everyone so far has refered to them as the Twele Guardian/Guard Ninjas/Shinobi of Fire. Gojita 17:27, 29 August 2008 (UTC)Gojita
 * out of boredom I did a little checking, Juuni means twelve. Shugonin means Guardian Ninja. So Shugonin Juuni (note its not the complete) is logically Twelve Guardian Ninja, with no mention of Gentleman or Fire.--TheUltimate3 17:29, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * More Edits of Boredom. I did further checking., while I have yet to figure out just what 忍 means. While 士 can mean, a leaning man, a magnificent man, or Samurai. While 十 and 二 mean Ten and Two respectively which I assume was supposed to simply be Twelve. Which means excluding the one which I cant decipher me picking Samurai because it simply sounded better.--TheUltimate3 17:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Allow me to support my translation. Here is a frame from volume 36, chapter 320, page 8. Asuma mentions the name of the group here, which I marked in red:.
 * means "guard," or "protection". means "ninja," or "shinobi". So Shugonin would mean "Guardian Ninja".
 * means "twelve". And means "gentleman" (i.e. a young man (usually of noble blood) who has studied the sciences and morals. e.g. a samurai).
 * So combining it all, I can at the "Twelve Gentlemen Guardian Ninja". --ShounenSuki 17:49, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes but there is also the fact that we do not work with litteral translations Gojita 17:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)Gojita
