Archetype name

According to the Japanese Kana(ナンバーズ), it should be 'Numbers'. However, 'No.' is the acronym of 'Number'. So, which one?Furuzuki (talkcontribs) 15:42, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

The archetype itself are Numbers, while each individual monster is a number, which explains why nobody uses "No." to describe them as a whole, and instead uses the full word...Or I could just be blowing smoke rings, but that's what it seems like to me. In the show, they refecence "Numbers" like it's some type of entity. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.A Wikia contirutor (talkcontribs) 15:59, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Try thinking "Tech Genus" in Japan, they changed into T.G. in America. Do same with this archetype. As well as poor Red-Eyes B. Dragon, the only 1 of trio had his name reduced to B. instead of full Black. (Other being Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes WHITE Dragon) Same thing with comic, they put "No. craps" at corner of the pretty picture. --FredCat 16:01, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

So, if we want to address a single monster from this archetype, should we call them 'Number' or 'Numbers' or 'No.'?Furuzuki (talkcontribs) 16:23, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Various would suit you well. I called "T.G." Tech Genus sometimes, ever through they were abbr. --FredCat 16:29, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
Well, do the Jp say "Elemental Hero" or "E-Hero" as it's E-Hero on the cards, no?, so "It's a Number" or "It's one of the Numbers" looks to work,-Resk™ (Talk) 13:26, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

It's either way, really.--Jaden96 (talkcontribs) 15:09, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

That's a very good point. The cards say "E-Hero" and "No.", but characters in the anime clearly pronounce the names as "Elemental Hero" and "Numbers". Cheesedude (talkcontribs) 19:03, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Number appearance

As I was watching 7 and 8, I had a thought about the Numbers; what if they change appearance based on their first user? For instance, Hope can represent Yuma's aspirations and hope of becoming a great duelist one day, giving him the form of a great hero. Revise Dragon can represent Shark's evil nature (his vice of stealing peoples' decks). Tera Byte can represent Ukyo's technological aspects in his plan and how it looks sort of like a bug, working with his Bugman deck (and being the perfect compliment to Super Bugman). Galaxy Queen took on the form of Fuya's mother, its possession of him similar to how his mother controls his life. Just my thoughts, what do you guys think? --DARK 02:31, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

  • Possible, but let's not call anything yet, since Zexal's just started and we dunno if every-single-Number will involve its user's backstory. (If it's right, it says that Kaito has two Numbers, but believes the archetype as pure evil and hunts them down) MarxMayhem (talkcontribs) 03:40, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
    • Didn't mean just add it in, but if the pattern continues, maybe we should. But either way, Tenjou wouldn't be a good example, since he probably takes the Numbers from people who have them (can't assume though, haven't been able to read the manga, which is where he's appeared so far). --DARK 03:55, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
