Rename

I feel this article should be renamed: Red Dragon Archfiend Scarlight. When translated that way, it makes more sense. Does anyone else agree/disagree?--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 04:57, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

Seriously, anyone at all?--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 03:13, July 25, 2015 (UTC)

The card has nothing to do with light. And its right arm is scarred. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 03:30, July 25, 2015 (UTC)

I feel the scars are much more bright than regular scars. And the right arm is glowing between the gauntlet-like structure. Also Scar-Light makes a lot more sense than Scar-Right.--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 12:56, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

Also, there's this:

there is a scar on its right arm, just because it has glowy bits doesn't really sell me on that.

the name will probably get changed in the TCG anyway

Also I am Fairly certain that you are not allowed to upload images for the forums or talk pages, for future reference.

Seconding Dread. The scars on this RDA's right arm are the main focus, not the glowing bits. ChaosGallade (talk • contribs) 13:58, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

But the scars themselves glow.--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 18:12, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

And doesn't the very fact that it's scars glow in the show as well as appear to on the card support my side? (That is what I posted an image for, anyhow...)--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 18:15, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

We can see quite clearly that the scar is glowing, but the fact that he scar is on the right arm makes more sense. It seems quite clear that everyone except you agrees that Scar-Right is the best name. NMBRHNTR64 (talk • contribs) 18:32, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

Computer Bug, one of your argument is "Scarlight" makes more sense. That's not an argument. You can't just say that, you have to back it up. And as we've seen "the scars glow a bit" isn't enough to convince everyone. Cheesedude (talk • contribs) 20:48, July 29, 2015 (UTC)

I believe it would make more sense for a few reasons: it can be translated as either (so in Japan, both could work), the scars glow, it sounds like "scarlet" (which as we know, is another shade of red similar to crimson as well as a portion of the name of "Scarlet Nova"), and the name would also sound similar to Starlight (which could reference Yusei and perhaps even his absence in the series). I simply feel it makes more sense than being named just for it's arm.--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 00:55, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

It was never "Scarlet" it was "Scar-Red". Check the katakana. Sanokal K-T (talk • contribs) 02:03, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

Even so, scarlet is a shade of red, similar to crimson.--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 02:31, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

So does anybody think that it seems more likely to be called something like, "Scarlight"? I'm just saying that I see more reason for that name than just, it's right arm having scars...--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 03:03, August 2, 2015 (UTC)

It ain't just the arm, mate, it's missing part of its right horn too. Sanokal K-T (talk • contribs) 03:05, August 2, 2015 (UTC)

Even so, it just seems like a weak reference. But as I pointed out, the name references both things in Japan. I just feel that the reference to it glowing is stronger than a direction on it's body.--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 17:08, August 2, 2015 (UTC)

The orientation of the scars on this RDA's body makes "right" more sense than "light", and that orientation is this monster's main focus, IMO. The others have already come to a consensus that its name should be kept as is. ChaosGallade (talk • contribs) 07:56, August 3, 2015 (UTC)

I don't see why Konami would name it based entirely on a direction. I've already tried to point out the several reason Scar-Light would make more sense, whereas I've only been shown one reason Scar-Right makes sense.--Computer Bug (talk • contribs) 15:55, August 3, 2015 (UTC)

And I don't see why you are so insistent about this when no one else here is agreeing with you. I suggest you just let it go. The name is Scar-Right. It is staying that way. Deal with it. NMBRHNTR64 (talk • contribs) 19:41, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
