:Done, done. Hopefully a few examples will make him realize just how little he knows. There are few better ways to make an ass out of yourself than to take what little knowledge you have on a subject and proclaim yourself an expert. (Believe me. I've been there. -_-;)

:BTW, I saw the discussion, and while you're right that リバイス can't be made into "Leviath", the context calls pretty strongly for ''something'' of that nature. The extraneous "a" reinforces the proper pronunciation of the "i"; it's not strictly accurate, but it's a necessary evil. (Me, I'm amazed in retrospect that Konami made the same fudge I did.) Context can be your best friend and your worst enemy: I wouldn't have given "Revise Dragon" a second thought if it hadn't ''clicked'' that the name was meant to be a play off "Leviathan".--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 10:44, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Still, I don't want him to make an ass on each article that possible to have same symbol of Japan's words/letters, but I just want to be sure that this site is keeping it flow smooth. "Revise Dragon" was from Shriek OCG News site, it's listed there and we used the Shriek OCG News site for each background information. So just let "Revise Dragon" being alternate name for now, when official name revealed in TCG/OCG, we can change it and kick out unofficial one out. And again, my talk page is not the discussion article, if you wanna continue discussion with Wasn't, just go to Forum article and discussion there instead. --<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style';">[[User:FredCat100|<span style="color:black;"><font size="3">F</font></span>]][[User talk:FredCat100|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">r</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/friends|<span style="color:black;"><font size"2">e</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/Ruling List|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">d</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/Disambiguation/Memoir_(disambiguation)|<span style="color:black;"><font size="3">C</font></span>]][[User:FredCat100/Theory_of_Evilness_of_Yusei_Fudo|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">a</font></span>]][[Special:Contributions/FredCat100|<span style="color:black;"><font size="2">t</font></span>]]</span> 19:23, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

== Recent Edits to Utopia and Chaos Utopia ==

Putting this down here to head off the inevitable backlash against my recent edits. If the point behind giving the Japanese names is having a literal translation to check any changes against, then the name "Aspiring Emperor/King/Whatever Hope" shouldn't be listed as factual.

希望, as any dictionary or online translator will tell you, means "hope." (The ''noun,'' not the ''verb.'') Yes, Google Translate gives "aspiration" as an alternate meaning, but let me ask: would you call Uria "the Lord on Searing Fire," or Raviel "the Lord besieged by Phantasms," or Hamon "the Lord Struck by Thunder"? For that matter, would you translate Yu-Gi-Oh! as "the King who is a Game"? (Yes, different "ou," but similar meaning.) The exact meaning of 皇 is ambiguous, but the sentiment of the name is not. Utopia does not "aspire"; he ''rules'' aspirations. He is the Lord of Hope, and considering that "Hope" on its own is kind of a wussy name in English (just ask Final Fantasy XIII), I'd say the name change was well justified.

Also, about his Chaos Number version, which I'm well aware I haven't named: as I said in the edit history, there's nothing indicating his name should be interpreted as two words. I'm well aware that guarantees nothing except that it ''might'' be hyphenated (such as per ブルーアイズ・ホワイト・ドラゴン/"Blue-Eyes White Dragon"), but I do strongly believe it's meant to be a portmanteau of "Hope" and "Pray". Even if it ''is'' meant to be a play on "a ray of hope" (which, ironically, would imply something ''weaker'' than Hope itself), I do think the name looks better spelled as a single word.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 10:08, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

Stop changing the name! We use Aspiration because if we don't, then it would be repetitive. It is Emperor, not King; check the Talk Page. ZW is the only card that is like that. We can't base the whole Wiki on that example. Also, maintain the order of the original title. It must be Aspiration Emperor - Hope, not Hope, Emperor of Aspiration or Hope, King of Hope.

== Re:Thanks ==

Not at all. There are plenty of archetype pages that don't list the Japanese names in the lead, they only list them in the infobox. So your mistake isn't exactly a hard one to make. Need to get around to adding that to the rest one of these days.

== A few archetype translation questions ==

I've been editing "[[Six Samurai]]" and "[[Legendary Six Samurai]]" cards recently to conform with the consensus as to what an archetype is that was set down in [[Forum:Archetype definition (again)|an exhaustive forum discussion]]. "Six Samurai" seems to be inconsistently referred to as "Six Warmasters" or "Six Warmen" in the ''OCG'', if the card pages even list a translated name at all. Which is the more proper translation? By extension, is it "True Six Warmen" or "True Six Warmasters" for "Legendary Six Samurai"?.

Secondly, most of the "[[Armor Ninja]]" and "[[Ninjitsu Art]]" pages list the translation as "Mechanical Armor Ninja". Per your edit to the "Armor Ninja" page, this is incorrect, yes? It's just "Armor Ninja" (possibly "Armored Ninja)"? Is there any credibility to "Mechanical Armor Ninja" at all? 

Also, do you have any idea what the answer is to the question posed in Dinoguy's first comment in [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#Archetype updates|this conversation]]? [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 20:24, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

: I'm honored you'd seek my opinion on this subject. :3

: My research suggests that 武衆 is an invented term: it doesn't show up at all in JWPce's built-in dictionary or on alc.co.jp, Google translate gives it as "Moo Shu," and the first thing that comes up in a Google search happens to be, you guessed it, the ''Japanese'' Wiki's entry on the Six Samurai.

: 武 connotes war and combat: 武器 is a weapon, 武士 is a warrior (and, of course, 武士道 is the way of the warrior), etc. 衆 is a bit harder to pin down: it denotes masses or crowds, and alc.co.jp's first three entries all suggest ''troops.'' So while I won't say this is the final word on the subject, I'm tempted to suggest 六武衆 should be translated as "The Six Armies," or perhaps more fancifully as "The Six Battle Clans": the Japanese name suggests they are not the sole members, but rather the leaders or perhaps representatives of six allied factions.

: 機甲 means "mechanical armor" in the sense of "armor for machines": "Panzer Ninja" would have about the same connotation. So no, there's nothing wrong with "Armor Ninja." All my translation sources give that meaning.

: Yes, by the way, there is a difference: 「X」と名のついた, "with 'X' in its name," which as far as I can tell is used consistently in effects that call for a family of cards sharing a particular identifier. Effects which call for a specific card use only the name. It's worth noting that the TCG is less consistent on this front: note that if taken literally, [[Number 12: Crimson Shadow Armor Ninja]]'s effect would only affect monsters ''called'' "Ninja."--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 21:36, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

::It's good to have users that know Japanese. [[User talk:III|One]] tends to get bogged down with a lot of requests to translate stuff, so I thought I'd go to you instead, knowing you've [[Ice Barrier|dealt]] with archetype name troubles before. I [[Forum:The new "Turtle/God" card's name is mistranslated.|recall]] Deltaneos saying he trusts your translations, and that's good enough for me. Thanks for the quick response.

::Interesting. Not sure what we'll do with this one. I may bring it up on the article's talk page with a link here. Oddly, if it wasn't for the other translations being here in the first place, I'd have just assumed they were always Samurai. 

::So in other words, whoever put "mechanical armor" was doing a translation that was a bit too literal, then. Alright.

::Good. We were very much hoping there was a difference, otherwise "[[Amplifier]]" could be equipped to "[[Jinzo - Returner]]" and so on and we'd have to restructure some of the archetype/series pages ''again''. So something that supports "[[Ancient Gear]]" would be clearly delineated from something that supports "[[Ancient Gear (archetype)|Ancient Gear]]". [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 01:06, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

:::Glad I could help.

:::The Jinzo issue is sort of a translation glitch - the original name is 人造人間－サイコ・ショッカー, while Jinzo - Returner is 人造人間－サイコ・リターナー. That is, in the Japanese version, Returner's name doesn't ''include'' Jinzo's entire name - it's rather a variant thereof. (And for what it's worth, 人造人間 means "Artificial Human" or "Android," but in practice it seems used just as much for cyborgs as well: JWPce's dictionary even gives "cyborg" and "robot" as its two translations.) In brief, yes, Amplifier's Japanese card text refers to Jinzo in a way that can't be taken to mean another card with Jinzo in its name.

:::As for Ancient Gear, the card's own text is an example: its effect works if there is another Ancient Gear already on the field, ''not'' another Ancient Gear ''monster.''--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 01:27, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

::::I see. That works then. Since it doesn't contain the whole name, "Jinzo" isn't an archetype then.

::::Oh no, I know that. Even if the ''TCG'' wording isn't the best, it does make it clear enough which is which. It was just another example I was giving. I was clarifying that that's what you actually meant. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 01:33, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

:::::Well. If I'm reading the discussion correctly, yes, "Jinzo" isn't an archetype - that would connote a keyword used by a family of cards and their support. Though they ''do'' have a common keyword, as noted on the "[[Jinzo (series)]]" page: in the Japanese version, they all share the root 人造人間－サイコ. Going by Returner and Lord's nomenclature, the "classic" Jinzo would be "Jinzo - Shocker," although this has a problem that there's nothing in the US version differentiating the three from the old Jinzo #7 card, unlike in Japanese (where he lacks the サイコ designation). At any rate, they have no support (apart from the Shocker-specific Amplifier), so the argument is moot - I'm just clarifying what I meant earlier.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 01:43, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

: No, what you saw was a sub that ''translated'' 冥界 as "underworld." Literally, it means "dark world"; in context, it means the realm of the dead. The Ancient Greeks would call it "Hades"; the Ancient Hebrews would call it "Sheol." In modern English, we would call it ''either'' "the underworld" or "the netherworld"; given that we have the notion of a "criminal underworld," the latter is more explicit as it can ''only'' mean "the realm of the dead." Justifications aside, the fact remains that both are legitimate translations of 冥界, but only one is official: "King of the Underworld" is not "the Japanese name," but rather the ''un''official (although functionally equivalent) translation.

== VWXYZ ==

Would you take a look at the Japanese lore for "[[Hyper Coat]]"? That card's page history has listed it as supporting separate "V", "W", "X", "Y" and "Z" archetypes, listed it as supporting each individual VWXYZ monster and several other things. It was equipped it to "[[VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon]]" in the anime, and I can't be sure it was a support card for it or for any VWXYZ derivative. What does it actually specify as valid targets for its effect?

:::On a random note, this is the first time I've noticed that the shoulders of VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon are formed by [[X-Head Cannon]] actually ''holding'' the arms formed from [[Z-Metal Tank]] in its hands.

::::Interesting. Alright, not so bad. 
::::Dinoguy, we don't need to worry anyway. If I'm understanding correctly, the Japanese names of those cards have the actual English letters in them, so it's not asking for a monster with "X" in any part of its name.

::::::Unless I've been operating under false assumptions, we haven't been screening archetype members according to any specific requirements featured on support cards (otherwise, most archetypes would just feature Monster Cards, since most archetype support cards specify '"''X''" monster(s)'). So the question instead comes down to, can the effect of "Hyper Coat" be applied to ''any'' Machine-Type monster with at least one of the letters "V", "W", "X", "Y", or "Z" in its Japanese name, or is it specific to the "VWXYZ" monsters, even beyond specifying Machine-Type targets? Based on what you've said, Ryusui, the answer seems to be "it can apply to any such Machine-Type monster", which is an argument for a new group of archetypes, which, because of my opening comment, would include ''all'' cards with one of these Latin letters in their Japanese name, regardless of whether they're a Machine-Type monster, much less a "VWXYZ" monster. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f;">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080;">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90;">千？！</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 06:18, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

::Always glad to help. ;)

::It does say "a monster with 'A (Attack)' in its name," without specifying "[[Wisel]]," "[[Skiel]]," or "[[Granel]]." However, like with the VWXYZ series, I'd simply lump this "archetype" in with Wisel, Skiel, and Granel, since the only monsters with "A (Attack)" in their names happen to be their respective Attack parts.

::On a random note, Attack Cannon and the various Attack parts use "A" with アタック as furigana, while the actual card lore for Attack Cannon ("printed" on the card itself) says "A (アタック)."

::As for Aura Armor, it ''does'' summon a "Player Token." It's not a Trap Monster. However, the wording is slightly different from what's given. Forgive me if it's not exactly PSCT, but it's more like this:

::''Activate only when your opponent declares a direct attack while your Life Points are 2000 or less; negate the attack and Special Summon 1 "Player Token" (Warrior-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK ?/DEF ?) to your side of the field.

:::Ok. I'm just going to go ahead and create the archetype page for it. I'd rather document the way the card says it should be. The VWXYZ thing was an exception for the sake of brevity. This isn't quite on the same level. 

:::A further look at the edit history reveals that a random IP changed the wording from "Player Token" to Trap Monster a while back. No one caught it. That said, I really did think Trap Monster was more likely. And old anime cards shouldn't use PSCT anyway, so don't worry about that.

== [[Magical Erudite Junon]] Translation Help ==
* Hi there. I was referred to you by [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] because he said that you were good at translating card lores. I have an issue with "[[Magical Erudite Junon]]" and was wondering if you could help. I'm trying to figure out whether or not this card is an [[Special Summon|Inherent Summon]] (like "[[Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World]]" or "[[Master Hyperion]]"), or if it's a Trigger Summon and starts a chain (like "[[Dark Simorgh]]"). The Wiki lists it as an Inherent Summon, but other sources list otherwise. I've already researched into this myself:
:*手札の「魔導書」と名のついた魔法カード３枚を相手に見せて発動できる。このカードを手札から特殊召喚する。
::This is "Junon"'s summoning requirement, but as you can see, the "revealing" part of the effect and the actual Special Summon are separated by a period. This seems to evidence that "Junon" starts a chain.
:*このカードは「暗黒界の龍神　グラファ」以外の自分フィールド上に表側表示で存在する「暗黒界」と名のついたモンスター１体を手札に戻し、墓地から特殊召喚する事ができる。
::This is "Grapha"'s summoning text, and the returning of the "Dark World" monster and his Special Summon is connected by a comma, indicating that this is an Inherent Summon. 
::On top of these two differences, "Grapha" uses the term "できる" and "Junon" uses the term "する" to reference their summoning. Most Inherent Summon monsters seem to use "できる" while "Dark Simorgh", the only other example of a Trigger Summon monster I can think of ATM also uses "する", like "Junon." I take these two terms to be the OCG equivalent of "by" and "to", respectively.
::So, basically, my question is - can you confirm or deny whether or not "Junon" is Inherent or not, or at least whether my theory on dekiru and suru are in/correct? I know this is a lot of information, so I apologize, but thanks in advance.--[[User:YamiWheeler|YamiWheeler]] ([[User talk:YamiWheeler|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/YamiWheeler|contribs]]) 23:06, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

: できる is "can (do)" and する is just "(do)". That is, 特殊召喚できる is "You can Special Summon (this card)..." (i.e. the Special Summon can optionally be performed this way) while 特殊召喚する is just "Special Summon this card" (i.e. the Special Summon is mandatory as the result of an effect).

: The key piece of language that differentiates Grapha and Simorgh is actually how the summoning condition itself is described. Grapha says このカードは[...]自分フィールド上に表側表示で存在する[...]モンスター１体を手札に'''戻し'''、墓地から特殊召喚する事ができる。 It's not just saying "you can Special Summon this card ''by'' (etc.)," but something more akin to "you can return 1 monster ''and'' Special Summon this card." That is, the entire lengthy summon condition is a single thing you can do (事ができる). Simorgh, on the other hand, says 自分の墓地の闇属性モンスター１体と風属性モンスター１体をゲームから除外する'''事で'''、このカードを手札から特殊召喚する。 That is, "Do (etc.) to Special Summon this card" - one part of the effect is the condition, the other is the Special Summon, unlike Grapha, where the condition is phrased as ''part'' of the Special Summon (if that makes any sense).

: On-topic, Junon's Special Summon effect translates literally as "You can activate this effect by revealing 3 "Book of Spell" Spell Cards in your hand. Special Summon this card from your hand." So the act of revealing 3 Books of Spell activates the Special Summon effect. I'm no rulings guru, but my interpretation agrees with your verdict: it's not an Inherent Summon.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 00:37, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Ryusui, could we get your input over at [[Talk:Kamakiri#"Kamakiri" vs. "Mantis"]]? Specifically, we need a better idea of what's going on in the Japanese lore of "[[Mantis Egg]]"; there's also a bit of background discussion at [[User talk:Deltaneos/Archive 48#Mantis and Kamakiri]]. Thanks in advance! <span style="white-space:nowrap;">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f;">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080;">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90;">千？！</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 01:01, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

== Masked Doll ==

Please take a look at the Japanese lore for "[[Masked Doll]]". It was originally created with the lore that one doesn't have to pay for "[[Mask of Brutality]]", then changed that no Maintenance Costs need to be payed at all. No idea which is true, even based on the what happens in the anime. Google translate spits out gibberish in this case. It usually gives me a least a ''vague'' idea of what was said. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 18:58, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

:Yeah, it's another "silly manga effect." (We have ''got'' to invent a proper term for those - the funky effects that don't make any sense as gameplay mechanics.) It's something like "A doll that takes ally-affecting mask curses upon itself" - that is, it acts as a lightning rod for mask effects, or something of that nature.

:It looks like it appeared in GX as well; it'd be helpful if someone could find its other appearance and see if the effect text is any different.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 19:12, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

::Interesting. Yeah, I'll have to figure out what to do with that later, have to go in a minute. I'll leave it be for now. 
::Its appearance in ''GX'' was in a flashback to ''DM'', so it's not likely the text was reworded at all. Still wouldn't hurt to check though. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 19:15, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

== Heavenly Demon Chant ==

Hey Ryusui, could Cheesedude and I get a transcription and translation of the Japanese lore on [[Heavenly Demon Chant]]? We stumbled across this card a while back as a potential "Angel" support card, and need to know what's going on in the Japanese lore to see if it's true. Thanks! <span style="white-space:nowrap;">「[[User:Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#00f;">ディノ</span><span style="color:#080;">奴</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Dinoguy1000|<span style="color:#F90;">千？！</span>]]」<sup>[[wikipedia:Help:IJP|?]] · [[User talk:Dinoguy1000#top|☎ Dinoguy1000]]</sup></span> 13:37, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

:It says "Fuse Angels in your Graveyard and Hand." Really, that's all it says. Technically, it doesn't even specify whether it means "monsters with 'Angel' in their names" or "Angel (Fairy)-type monsters"; we can assume it means the former from context (since the "Angels" in question aren't Fairy-types), but there's nothing in the text itself to rule out either interpretation.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 20:14, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

== List ==

Would you take a look at the anime cards listed [[Forum:Anime card counterparts|here]] and give us some correct lores for them. Some of them can in no way be correct, simply based on the amount of Japanese text on the card. While you're there, feel free to comment on the discussion, since it's died and any more opinions on either side of the argument would be great. Thanks [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 16:39, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

:[[Cursebreaker]]: "Negate all Spell effects received from (i.e. inflicted by) your opponent."

:[[Defense Paralysis]]: "Activate when an opponent's monster declares defense (i.e. is switched to Defense Position). All monsters on your opponent's side of the field are changed to Attack Position."

:[[Insecticide]]: "Destroy target Insect-type monster."

:[[Cross Sacrifice]]: "Both players can simultaneously tribute each other's Monsters."

:[[Scratch Wheel]]: "An opponent's monster is bound to the Scratch Wheel. Each turn, inflict 500 damage to your opponent."  (The other version of the effect is accurate, apart from switching the wording for clarity: "As long as this card remains face-up on the field, the selected opponent's monster cannot attack or change its battle position.")

:[[Heavy Storm Blade]]: The text is too blurry and half-covered by the guy's thumb. Though on the upside, it's fun to see them using the TCG translation for 大嵐 in a card name. XD

:[[Monster Replace]]: "Through this card's effect, your minion with the highest ATK blocks the frontline. Your opponent cannot attack any monster other than your frontline minion. Can also be played as a Trap."　[http://protan.michikusa.jp/anime_king.html This site] provides an alternate, somewhat clearer effect: "Activate when your opponent declares an attack. Your opponent must target the face-up Attack Position monster on your side of the field with the highest ATK."

:[[Zeus Breath]]: "When an opponent's monster declares an attack: negate the attacking monster's attack. If you control a face-up WATER-Attribute monster, inflict 800 damage to your opponent."

:Glad I could help.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 17:43, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

::Thanks a lot. All of those are fairly consistent with what happens in the anime, except for "[[Defense Paralysis]]", since it also apparently prevented the opponent from every Summoning a monster in Defense Position again for the rest of the Duel. Also, "frontline minion". Yeah, that's awesome.

::Doh, I had forgotten that I had "Heavy Storm Blade" and "Zeus Breath" on there. Those I know we had correct lores for. But yeah, they do seem to pay attention to what the ''TCG'' does. I mean, "[[Monster Reincarnation]]" was based on the English art of "[[Monster Reborn]]". I recall they also decided that the ''TCG'' changing the crosses on "[[Injection Fairy Lily]]" to hearts was cute, so [[Card Artworks:Injection Fairy Lily|they changed it in Japan too]]. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 23:26, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

:::Well, Zeus Breath isn't quite exact - unlike its IRL counterpart, it only hits ''once'' for 800 damage, not 800 for each monster meeting the criteria. And yes, Monster Replace's wording is ''weird as hell.'' I've never seen 最前 (literally "frontmost") or しもべ ("servant") in card text before.

:::As for Japan following the TCG, the ''big one'' would, of course, be the Series 3 "World Standard" design, which has been the basis of ''all'' subsequent format redesigns. ;) I just wish they'd figure out some way to fit flavor text ''and'' effect text onto cards...--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 01:36, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

* Hi there, Ryusui. I noticed you reverted one of Chaos Maker's translations earlier (on the Spellbinding Circle page).

Thanks.--[[User:YamiWheeler|YamiWheeler]] ([[User talk:YamiWheeler|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/YamiWheeler|contribs]]) 23:49, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

:Rather than derail the forum discussion, I wanted to ask about your "Devil" translation comment here. My understanding is this: "Archfiends" have a romaji reading of ''Dēmon''. There are also cards with a reading of ''Debiru'', which are '''not''' "Archfiends". Then there's cards with a ''romaji'' of neither and could therefore be accurately translated as both "Demon" and "Devil". Do I have that right? And you are suggesting we just standardize the use of "Devil" for those last cases to avoid any and all confusion with "Archfiend"?

:Also, since III has yet to response (very odd in and of itself), could you take a look at [[User talk:Deltaneos#Kana|this conversation]]. We may have another Chaos Maker-esque character running around (that said, he IS accurate sometimes). 

:And this is why I'm eager for the Organization affiliation to really come through. There are far too many cards for a few people to "sanity-check".

I really do think that it would be wise to translate "akuma" as something other than "demon" as a matter of consistency, but considering デビル (which I honestly hadn't been thinking about), I'm not sure "devil" would be ''optimal.''

== Magicians ==

The current animelore we have for "[[Thousand Knives]]" states it needs a "[[Magician]]" monster to activate. This seems likely, as I've long wondered why someone felt the "Magician" page was needed to begin with. Does [[:File:ThousandKnives-JP-Anime-DM-2.png|this image]] support that? Even if it does not, its marked as "2", which means its a card that appeared both before and after the card layout change in ''DM''. An image from the card's first appearance might have a different lore that does support the "Magician" theory. I'm going to try to locate one of those either way.

::Interesting. I checked the first episode it appears in and the card lore isn't shown. Its cut off. The only other explanation for the effect (besides blatant BS) that I could think of is Pandora's dialogue when he activates it. And that isn't it either, since he doesn't even explain the card effect, he just launches the knives at "[[Magical Hats]]" and says something along the lines of "found you!".

== Dark Blade, Kozaky and other flavor text ==

I'm curious as what the translated Japanese flavor text actually says for certain cards. "[[Kozaky]]" implies a relationship with the "[[Dark World]]" monsters despite his being released many sets before them (though his [[Kozaky (character)|appearance]] in ''GX'' does play with the concept). "[[Dark Blade]]" does the same, but his translated name reads "Soldier of the Dark Demon World" or something cumbersome, so I wonder if the "Dark World" thing wasn't added for the ''TCG''. While you're there, some checks on what all the members of [[Dark Blade (series)]] translate too would be nice. As I said, the names are ''very cumbersome''. Thanks in advance, [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 23:03, July 5, 2012 (UTC)
::Three different things here, unsurprisingly. Kozaky's flavor text refers to 魔界, lit. "Demon World." The various Dark Blades refer to 闇魔界, lit.

== Wow ==

What the hell does the lore of the "[[Motor Shell]]" say? Google translate spits out complete gibberish, which seems to indicate that a "[[Motor Parts Token]]" may not actually be a thing that even exists.

== Japanese Name Issue ==

Hi there, Ryusui. I was wondering if you could help me out with [[User_talk:YamiWheeler#Apposition_of_Cards|this issue]] I'm having with [[User:Master_D|Master D]]. We're arguing over "[[Urubonus, the Avatar of Malice]]". He is claiming that the order of the translated name makes a significant difference, translation wise, to warrant listing on the card page. The English name is "Urubonus, the Avatar of Malice", the name he wants to list under the "Translated" column on the page is "Avatar of Malice, Urubonus." Generally, on the Wiki, we don't list the translated name if it is basically the same as the English name, which is my stance, as I believe they are pretty much the same. My question to you is - does the order make enough of a difference to warrant being treated as another name, and therefore be listed?--[[User:YamiWheeler|YamiWheeler]] ([[User talk:YamiWheeler|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/YamiWheeler|contribs]]) 18:32, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

== Half Unbreak ==

Can you check the anime lore of "[[Half Unbreak]]"? Does it specify that you must target your own monster or could it theoretically be used on your opponent's? [[Talk:Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 070#Half Unbreak|It seems]] Yuma used it on an opponent's monster recently. I'll try to get a screencap later today of the card being used that specific episode to make sure the actual lore didn't change too. Thanks, [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]])

:It says "target 1 monster on your side of the field." Also, I just checked the ep:

:*1. The lore isn't actually visible on the card when it's used.
:*2. Yuma actually ''does'' say "I use it on Heart-eartH Dragon!"

:...Well. Impossible move or no, the effect is the same: it halves battle damage to ''both'' players, so in context, it doesn't matter whether he targeted [[Number 39: Utopia]] or Heart-eartH Dragon. I'd chalk it up to a scriptwriting flub.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 18:06, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

::: Yeah, it's your typical "silly manga/anime effect."

==Archfiend of Gilfer==
What would you translate this as? I've seen multiple translations, several of which seem to try to connect it to "Dark Magician" somehow. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] ([[User talk:Cheesedude|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cheesedude|contribs]]) 15:54, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

: Oh god. 魔族 is always such a pain in the ass. It means something akin to "demon race" or "demon clan" or something like that - i.e., all the possible literal translations are awkward as hell (''especially'' when it's used to describe a ''single'' creature). I've seen cases where the translators just threw up their hands, said "screw it," and left it as Mazoku - which, in a Japanese cultural context (e.g. Yu Yu Hakusho), is probably the best option. Frankly, "demon" is how I'd ''personally'' render it, void of any other context, although that yields the abomination "Dark Demon Gilfer Demon" in this case.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 17:19, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

== Dotedotengu ==

Does "[[Dotedotengu]]" say "your side of the field" or "your opponent's side of the field".

== Duelist Kingdom ==

So I've been reading the ''Duelist'' manga and have come across some cards who could use their animelores examined as a result. I don't know that they've worded the effects the same way as in the manga, but I know for sure that "[[Mesmeric Control]]" says nothing about negating attacks. Some of the images have the classic "thumb over text", but if you could just make out whatever you can, it would still help, since we now have {{t|reconstructed effect}}

:Most of these are too blurry to make out. I mean, Toon World? You gotta be kidding me there. And I can't make out much more than you can on Mesmeric Control - "Opponent's monster ??? 500 points ???." That said.

:Shadow Spell: "Shadow chains rob the enemy of movement, decreasing its ATK by 700 points."
:Mirror Wall: "When the opponent declares an attack, "Mirror Wall" halves the enemy monster's ATK." (slightly blurry - can't make out the last kanji, but should be right)
:Blast Sphere: "Adheres to an enemy monster's body and explodes after 1 turn." (Check out that ATK for a Level 4 - who needs the ''effect'' when it can hit like ''that?'' XD)

::Toon World: "Pay 1000 Life Points when this card is played. Also, on each of your Standby Phases, if you do not pay 500 Life Points, destroy this card. When this card is sent from the Field to the Graveyard, you gain Life Points equal to the amount of Life Points you paid until that point."

'''Toon World'''<br>So, what is to be done with the anime effects of "[[Toon World]]"? How do we reconcile the Duelist Kingdom anime card text with the effect the Duelist Kingdom anime actually said? It will be confusing for people looking at the anime lore, who see that the effect listed had NOTHING to with the Duelist Kingdom arc.

:Because the written anime lore of "Toon World" is wrong, I'm chalking it up as an error. I retained a shorter version of the "TCGished" version instead, while taking into account that Toon monsters were ''not'' cards in Duelist Kingdom. When a card lore blatantly contradicts the show like that, we can make exceptions to the "use the written lore" rule. There isn't a good way to explain all that on the card pages itself though (there may be when the revamp [[Forum:Card article redesign|is done]]). I think that will work, but if you have any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.

:Snowfall Sword: "You can activate this card when you have a Warrior-Type monster equipped with an Equip Spell Card. The effect of a Trap activated in response to that monster's attack is negated and the card is destroyed."
:(Worth noting that the wording is ''very'' peculiar. It says "Trap" but goes on to refer specifically to 魔法効果 - that is, "magic/Spell effect." If I didn't have the episode summary to provide further context, I would've been tempted to say that the ''Equip Spell Card'' is negated in exchange for destroying the Trap Card.)

:Cinderella: "When this card is Summoned, Special Summon a "Pumpkin Carriage" from your Deck, hand, or Graveyard. You can then equip a "Glass Slippers" from your Deck, hand, or Graveyard. When a "Glass Slippers" that was detached from "Cinderella" is re-equipped to Cinderella, the ATK of "Cinderella" increases by 1000."

:Rainbow Blessing is a lost cause. There's literally only the leftmost third of the card text visible; there's not nearly enough to even begin reconstructing the text. As for the other two:

:Mask of Impregnability: "For one turn only, a player can be protected from enemy attacks."
:Class System: "You should activate this card when an opponent's monster attacks one of your monsters or activates its special effect. If the Level of that monster is not higher than the Level of your monster, negate that attack/effect."

:I say "You should" here because よい is yet another case of "silly manga language" - rather than the usual ことが出来る ("You can [...]"), it connotes something like "It is good to [...]" or "It is okay to [...]".--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 03:22, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

: A small favour I would like to ask. Is [[Photon Thrasher]] a valid translation of the japanese name? My dictionary says it is, and from what I've gathered from various websites, including google translate (don't hate me), they all seem to acknowledge Photon Thrasher as a valid translation of its japanese name. I ask this because I remember that if the TCG uses an acknowledged translation of the card, then there's no need for the translation parameter, as I remember someone saying that the translation parameter is only for cards that have actual different names from its TCG counterpart (Currently it says Photon Slasher as its translated name). Plus, seeing as you are acknowledged as a professional translator, I would like your word on this. [[User:Neos01|Neos01]] ([[User talk:Neos01|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Neos01|contribs]]) 18:05, November 25, 2012 (UTC)

::Not really a "professional" yet; just a decently experienced fan translator. ;)

::Anyways, "Slasher" vs. "Thrasher" is really basic stuff. First: yes, it's true that Japanese does have some confusion between the "r" and "l" consonants. Strictly speaking, the language doesn't have ''either''; what it has instead is a liquid consonant between the two that is, for the sake of convenience, typically romanized as "r" by default. Second: Japanese doesn't have a "th" sound, either. It's instead approximated using "s-" syllables; hence the great Final Fantasy VII "Aeris" vs. "Aerith" debate. In short, スラッシャー could be "Slasher" ''or'' "Thrasher" (without context, I'd lean towards the former, but both are legitimate).

::While we're on the subject, let's also talk about "v" in Japanese. Again, they don't have it over there; instead, they approximate it with "b" syllables. That said, when they unambiguously want to ''denote'' a "v" in text, they do have a katakana for it: ヴ (a "u" katakana with a dakuten over it). You've seen it in エヴァンゲリオン (or, if you've been following the Rebuild movies, ヱヴァンゲリヲン - which replaces the "e" and "o" with the obsolete "we" and the rarely used "wo" katakana to strange stylistic effect).

::Of course, even this knowledge doesn't always guide the translator straight and true. ^_^; There's often a lot of room for interpretation, especially where fantasy settings and made-up words are commonplace, and things get exponentially more complicated when names and terms of non-English origin get involved. It's why the community didn't realize at first that バイス was supposed to be the German "Weiss" (pronounced with a "v" sound).

Can you see if the English anime translation of the text of "[[Sabatiel the Philosopher's Stone]]" matches up with the Japanese text that is given? (You might want to compare the listed Japanese text to the text shown in the card gallery as well). <br>Also, could you translate the given text of "[[Xyz Plant]]"?

:Sabatiel is fudgy. Strictly speaking, it describes the net effect of what it does, but there's a catch: it says it's ''switched'' with the target card, ''then'' returned to the hand, and after the third time it's switched (not just activated), it gains the extra effect. (The Japanese text does match up with the anime, BTW.) Want me to edit the translation to match the exact wording?

==Translation Favors 3==
When will you get around to translating a minute's worth of that episode I mentioned... =( For procrastination, could you translate and '''transcribe''' the anime text of "One for One", as seen [[Card Gallery:One for One|here]] (but only if the text is worded differently; it doesn't matter if they mean the same), and the texts of "[[Immortal Class]]" and "[[Card Gallery:White Veil|White Veil]]" (just fill in the missing spaces with (...) and update the English lore if necessary).? I understand that "White Veil" looks a lil blurry, but try anyways? Last thing: translate "[[Relay Soul]]"? I'm not sure on how to interpret デュエルの敗北条件を特殊召喚したモンスターが破壊された時とする。--[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 02:00, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Another thing to add on to your workload: この効果によって特殊召喚されたモンスターと、相手フィールド上のモンスターはお互いのターンで戦闘を行わなければならない。Does this mean the monsters Special Summoned by this card's effect must attack (do battle with) the opponent's monsters, and vice-versa? Or do both monsters just attack whenever possible, and don't care what they attack? --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 07:51, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

:It's...ambiguous. To my eyes, anyway. Basically, it says "monsters Special Summoned by this effect and your opponent's monsters must battle during their respective turns." "And" (と) in this case has more or less the same connotations it does in English: it's genuinely not clear if it's saying "both must declare an attack during their respective turns" or "they must battle with each other during their respective turns."

:I'll get to the others when I can. (And again, sorry about the clip - my Japanese listening skills aren't that great, though what I could make out ''sounds'' like it matches what we've got down already. I'll give it another listen when I get a chance.)--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 07:58, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

I can ask another user to listen to the episode; no need to worry yourself about it. In the meantime, could you '''transcribe''' and translate the following cards: "[[Prophecy (card)|Prophecy]]", "[[White Night Fort]]", and "[[Revolving Stage]]"? I ask this of "White Night Fort" because the Japanese text looks far too short. --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 18:20, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
<br>And maybe this text? 自分のメインフェイズ１にデッキよりランダムにＬＶ４以下のモンスター１体を表側攻撃表示で特殊召喚する。 From what you can tell, is it a 1-time effect, and is it only a Level 4 monster (and not lower Levels)? Or is the effect optional ("You can")? --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 20:05, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

:"During your Main Phase 1, Special Summon a random Level 4 or lower monster from your Deck in face-up Attack Position."

:Others are done. White Night Fort's translation was good but the transcription was missing literally half the text. Prophecy's text literally says "play 'Big or Small' against 2000 ATK"; wasn't sure whether to put that down or spell out the mechanic, but I've gone with the latter for the time being. And Revolving Stage, as you've seen, is just a matter of semantics - the original card effect doesn't specify "Tag Duel," and it says "to another opponent," not "to your opponent's partner" (so, technically, if there was ever a 3-on-3 Tag Duel...)

:I'll finish up the first three later.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 22:35, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

:Okay. Here's the situation.

:Immortal Class: Text is 90% obscured (all I can make out is "Tribute 2 monsters from your side of the field.")
:White Veil: Too blurry; partly obscured.
:Relay Soul: Transcribed. Translation's already good.
:Take Over 5: The last part of the effect is obscured. I ''can,'' however, tell you it does say "select 1 card with the same name as this card in your hand, Deck, or Graveyard"; I have no idea what comes next, but what's there doesn't match the translation we have.
:Level Bond: Okay, this is interesting. The "opponent draws 2 cards" part of the effect comes first; furthermore, there is an additional condition, which appears to be "Banish 2 'LV' monsters with the same name from your Graveyard; Special Summon 1 monster with the same name from your Deck" (part of it's blurry, though, so I can't be 100% sure). The last of it, as with Take Over 5, is obscured.
:Direct Border: I really can't do much if the final line of the effect is cut off like this and the last two. The translation ''looks'' good from what I can make out, though.

== Beef Buster's Japanese name ==

[[:File:Beef Buster exterior.jpg|This restaurant]] is called [[Beef Buster]] in the English manga. As far as I can tell, the kanji in the Japanese name are "牛丼野郎". "牛丼" seems to mean Beef Bowl, which is fair enough. It might even be the same restaurant from the Toei anime, [[Beef Bowl]]. But then "野郎" means something along the lines of "asshole" or "jerk"? Is that right? It seems like a very odd name for a restaurant. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 14:12, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

:"Beef Bastard" immediately springs to mind. ^_^; [http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E9%87%8E%E9%83%8E&pg=2 This site] lists many J-E samples showing it in a wide variety of contexts - not all of them ''negative,'' interestingly (though certainly ''most''). Perhaps it's best to think of the translation in the sense of "not so fast, Buster!" (which might very well use 野郎 if translated back into Japanese)...--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 14:24, December 14, 2012 (UTC)

:Number 92 and Ultimate Shield have already been translated - in fact, I previously cleared up an issue where the translation mistakenly claimed that only cards banished by its effect counted towards its ATK boost. Ultimate Shield had a mistake in it, though, so I'm glad you pointed me to it: if the transcription is accurate, there's nothing in it about negating effects.

== Japanese DM stuff ==

Hey Ryusui (and any other Japanese translators that happen to watch his page ;) ), I don't suppose I could impose on you to start transcribing and translating the Japanese lores on [[User:Dinoguy1000/DM cards]], could I? I've already tried my hand at BEWD, but it's a tremendous pain if you have to look up what each kana is (so on that note, you should probably double-check my work ;P ), and (as if that didn't already tell you) translation is right-out; Google Translate just returns gibberish that I'm not even going to ''try'' to make sense of. While you're at it, if you could also give the JA names a quick spot-check to make sure I haven't missed anything with them, and tell me if I'm making any major cock-ups with the Types and Alignments, I'd also appreciate it. Also feel free to add more cards if you'd like; there should be more than enough examples of what to do from the cards I've already added, and if you can't tell how to do something from them, feel free to ask me anyways. Lastly, if you have any comment on the layout or presentation of information, etc., I'm all ears.

:Sealer Formation: 封 (seal)
:Brigadier of Landstar: "Though inexperienced with a gun, this fairy rifleman possesses a strange power." (The Japanese lore appears to be accurate.)
:Line Promotion: Clockwise from top-right, と (promoted pawn), 金 (promoted lance), 竜王 (promoted rook/"dragon"), 金 (promoted silver). (I'm aware two kanji are technically the same - the promoted versions of less powerful pieces are written using more cursive versions of the 金 kanji, meaning "gold."

Yes, BTW, those kanji on Chariot Hisha ''are'' read "hisha" in Japanese. "K Horse" is a pun, since that first kanji is pronounced "kei" and the second one ("ma") means "horse." As for Drain Time...way too blurry and mostly obscured. But I can tell you that the "1000" that has you so excited is something about paying 1000 Life Points, which isn't in our translation.

Reckless Parasite's done. I couldn't quite make out the kanji on Inashichi's little notepad apart from the ''daimonji'' (大); sorry.

:FINALLY got back to this. This should be my entire backlog, finally done. Couple things of note:

:1. Shine Palace's anime lore is identical to the IRL card. (Oddly, the IRL Japanese card is "Shine Castle," but the anime version is "Shine Palace" - which is what "Shine Castle" was released in English as.)

:2. Patched up the holes and fixed a few glitches in V Salamander's lore - you missed a 特殊召喚 in there.

:3. Not much I can do with Grandmaster's letter on Cunning of the Six Samurai - his hand's covering up too much of it and what we ''can'' see is meaningless without context. Everything but the 六 (six) kanji at the start, anyway.

:4. Your transcription of Acid Golem's lore was spot-on, but there was a problem with your translation: if it's attacked when it has no Xyz Material, it's insta-killed ''and'' its controller takes 2000 damage. The 2000 damage on destruction is only explicitly said to happen in that particular case.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 05:59, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

== ENs as acceptable translations ==

Would you consider the official English names for "[[The Flute of Summoning Dragon]]", "[[The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh]]" and/or "[[Rapid-Fire Magician]]" to be acceptable translations of their Japanese names? i.e. Is it okay to drop the trans parameter from any of their pages? Thanks. -- [[User:Deltaneos|Deltaneos]] ([[User talk:Deltaneos|talk]]) 00:43, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

:"Rapid-Fire" may be a valid translation of "rendan", but the flutes are not the same. First of all, "yobu" simply means "to call"; also, the key here is that they use "of" in the TCG; this heavily implies that "Summoning" is an adjective ("for" would be more accurate, and "Dragon" should be in plural; otherwise it implies that the dragon is doing the summoning). For example, "[[Tokkosho of Ghost Destroying]]" and "[[Ninjitsu Art of Shadow Sealing]]" wouldn't have the same meaning as "Tokkosho of Destroying Ghost" and "Ninjitsu Art of Sealing Shadow". That's probably because their grammar sucked in early cards like these.

::Somehow I didn't notice until ''just now'' that someone else put his two cents in on this one and I had yet to do so. >_>

::I'll admit we're agreed on Rapid-Fire Magician, but the flutes? I'd argue it's splitting hairs to say 呼ぶ can't possibly mean "to summon." Not in the typical Yu-Gi-Oh! sense (that's 召喚), but certainly in the "call someone to attendance" sense. The grammar's sketchy at best, but the translations are more or less legit regardless.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 08:13, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

==Small thing==
Yo, thanks for the help translating Binary Star Rampage's lore. ^^ Besides it, there was another card's lore which I couldn't fully read: [http://blog.yimg.com/2/hYgGqad7s5929er2szDGqsB.AJn4jJx5uhO35W6tJlrcgJy2mIcfCA--/18/l/C6DTJcPJnsKnfeSpHwXU1Q.jpg this one]. "Monsters other than Synchro Monsters cannot attack. [[????]] this card's ATK doubles." I can't read the part between "monsutaa wa kougeki dekinai" and "kougeki-ryoku o ni-bai ni suru." Are you able to read it perhaps? [[User:LegendaryAsariUgetsu|LegendaryAsariUgetsu]] ([[User talk:LegendaryAsariUgetsu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/LegendaryAsariUgetsu|contribs]]) 20:16, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

:Pretty sure it's 戦闘時.

:シンクロモンスター以外のモンスターは攻撃できない　戦闘時攻撃力を２倍にする
:Monsters other than Synchro Monsters cannot attack. When this card battles another monster, double its ATK.

:It's kind of worded in "silly manga style," but that's what I'm getting from it. Also, I look at 天輪 and I want to say "Celestial Spheres" (according to Dante, heaven has spheres like hell has circles). Well aware of the literal translation; just putting it out there.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 20:25, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

::Thanks for the help.
::Regarding the 天輪 thing, I think it was meant to refer to the cycle of life, y'know, "birth-life-death", like in [[Underworld Circle]]. Another editor also suggested "heavenly wheel", which's a good translation too in my opinion, but I was afraid people could interpret it by its literal meaning instead of "loop". What do you think?

== Number 69 rename ==

It does not hurt at all to leave the rename template up on the page for Number 69. As I put in the note for why I undid the edit, that link provides an actual source for the name. Shriek is not a source. They only have the name edited, and they more than likely took it from the wikia. They have nothing but the name listed. No image. No effect. The renames that have been put in place since I moved the pages to Heraldic Emblem have been without legitimate sources. For now, I am leaving it up to the staff to decide what to do in renaming the page yet again because of the dispute going on and to avoid an edit/undo war. I suggest that you do the same. - [[User:Axel Shiokawa|Axel Shiokawa]] ([[User talk:Axel Shiokawa|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Axel Shiokawa|contribs]]) 02:13, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

::I've been avoiding trying to provoke anything on that page because of the unsourced renames. I've already brought the page to cheesedude's attention for something to take care of when more information on the card becomes available. All we as standard editors can do is just wait for the sneak peek this weekend, as you have already said. - [[User:Axel Shiokawa|Axel Shiokawa]] ([[User talk:Axel Shiokawa|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Axel Shiokawa|contribs]]) 02:24, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

:"On the turn this card is successfully Summoned, you can change 1 of your opponent's monsters to face-up Defense Position and take control of that monster."

==Number 8==
Would mind checking on my transcript of the Japanese [[:File:Number8HeraldicKingGenomHeritage-JP-Anime-ZX.png|anime lore]], as well the translation of "[[Number 8: Heraldic King Genom-Heritage]]". I having doubt of how accurate it is.

==Barian's Force==
For "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force|Barian's Force]]", how you would this anime card text 「戦闘では破壊されない効果」 be translated. I translate the text as either "Cannot be destroyed by battle effect" or "effect Cannot be destroyed by battle", since 効果 (effect) is inside the quote and not outside the quote. Peoples been changing the anime card text to "Cannot be destroyed by battle" effects, the effect is outside the quote and not inside the quote. So which one is correct and can it be both way? [[User:WinterNightmare|WinterNightmare]] ([[User talk:WinterNightmare|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WinterNightmare|contribs]]) 21:58, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

:The phrase "silly anime effect" comes to mind in this case. (I honestly thought we'd escaped those.) "'Cannot be destroyed by battle' effect" would make the most sense, even if it doesn't follow the precise formatting of the original Japanese.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 22:36, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

:Well, the Viz lore actually sounds like IRL card text, and it ''does'' seem to describe what the card does, but if you want strict accuracy, no, it's not what the card says: "The monster which attacked Reflect Bounder has its ATK reflected at itself. Afterwards, this card is destroyed."--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] ([[User talk:Ryusui|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ryusui|contribs]]) 18:55, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

For example, "[[Trap Sluzer]]"... Someone said that the English word ""through"/"suruu" is slang for "ignore"? Do you agree with that reasoning for its name? For "Partnaga", since "paa" is "paper", it's a pun reinforced by Partnaga having an open palm in its artwork? For "[[Performapal Hammer Mammoth]]", idk, a portmanteau? And for "[[Performapal Bowhopper]]", I guess a pun based on "ganbate"?

-:As for "'Paa'rtnaga", considering "Ganbatta" is a triple-decker portmanteau - "gun" + "batta" ("grasshopper") + "ganbatta" ("did your best") - yeah, I'd call it deliberate.
