Shouldn't someone add a picture?--Endomarru (talk) 06:14, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


I was wondering if 昼 in this case would be best translated as 'noon' rather than daytime? Given Gai has previously used the 'Morning' Peacock, I assume this may fit a little better? Thoughts welcome. Kazama Arashi (talk) 12:52, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Both could be proper translations in my opinion. 朝 (asa, morning) refers to the period of time between daybreak and about 9:00. 昼 (hiru, noon, daytime) refers to the period of time between about 9:00 and 15:00.
Noon refers specifically to 12:00, but can also be used generally for the period between about 11:00 and 13:00. The same goes for midday, although that is more general than noon. Daytime generally refers either to the entire period of the day that the sun shines, or to the period between morning and afternoon, from about 9:00 to about 12:00.
Going over the options, perhaps Midday Tiger would be best option. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 14:13, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps Noon Tiger could also be good option compared to the other technique, Morning Peacock's name, making them fit together, which i believ is an intend. --Gojita (talk) 00:12, August 20, 2010 (UTC)Gojitta
Best translation probably won't be obvious until Guy opens the eighth gate. "Night Gecko" or something. ~SnapperTo 00:22, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
I think the kanji refers to "Midday Tiger", which still fits with Guy's time of the day-themed attacks, and implies that there is an "evening" version as well. --Ech0six (talk) 00:24, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
The translation I read was Afternoon Peacock. Wouldn't that make more sense?
