Bleach Ask a Question Thread

The Hurara was an example I actually saw on another forum but there are plenty of butchered names on mangashare. It just pisses me off because it's really simple to correctly write a name. It's not like you have to pronounce it. All you have to do is check bleach wikia or watch an episode with subs.

I actually am :p, anyway, some new readers might not remember too well the names of some characters, especially if those names aren't used in the country they live in. The other thing is probably the early bad translations, if you check the first 100 scanlations of Naruto, you can see that there is Uchida, when it should be Uchiha, it could be the same with Bleach (especially the HM arc).

Believe me, japanese names are alien to me as well, however there is an interesting thing you can do when you're uncertain about a character's name: you can check it online. Basically, read before writing.[/QUOTE]

We're years past that time. I doubt there are any more translation errors.

Another thing worth noticing, is that there are different ways to write the names in English, mostly because of the(can't be bothered to look it up) the "o" with a "-" on top is spelled with "uu" or "ou" in English, at least that's how I have got to understand it and the "ou" version is allot more common. I don't really think this concern me to much, since I usually do like you say and look it up on bleach.wikia and I don't write a name when I don't think I know how to write it, but it's just to create a general reason why I think most people screw up.

In my opinion, the proper way to deal with long vowel sounds in English is not to type it out at all but type it normally e.g. shonen instead of shounen. The reason why I advocate for the former is because it looks better and we really don't need to know that it is a longer vowel because anyone who's just a bit interested in anime should have learnt the basics of vowel sounds in Japanese by listening to what people say in anime. To anyone who doesn't know, adding an additional letter to signify this does not matter since they will be clueless either way.

I do agree with that people should learn to use spell checks when they are typing. Saying they are typing in a foreign language is no excuse as most of us do and if you don't know the language well that's exactly what spell check programs are for. Also, learning how to punctuate and when to make new paragraphs will of course help reading, something I notice many don't know how to do as well.

It was much easier when Hakage the Ice Nomad used to frequent the forums more, he was/is the resident grammar Nazi here.

I do believe you've got the right idea Leat.

Q: How is ichigo able to use fullbring if his mother wasn't attacked by a hollow before giving birth to him? Many say that she was a hollow herself but I don't think so cuzaizen stated she was a human and he knew all of them pretty well...so my guess is his mother was a fullbringer instead. They're humans with hollow like power so that would even explain where he took hollow powers from. what do you think ?

A: I think that the even with Ginjou's explanation the origin of Fullbring has always been rather vague. To my knowledge Chad's parents have had no encounters with hollows and he wasn't able to even see spirits until he defended Ichigo's sister from a hollow and was wounded by said hollow, yet he was still able to manifest fullbring due to his encounter with the hollow. Ichigo himself has actually become a complete hollow twice which I think would give him a much greater connection towards hollow related powers than even the fullbringers.

Spoiler!

:Edit:
Actually looking back now I think that Ichigo had used fullbring way before he even encountered Xecution.

Ginjou using fullbring

Spoiler!

What I believe to be Ichigo's first use of fullbring

Spoiler!

Fullbringers are able to draw upon the souls of the matter around them so just how Ginjou summoned the alcohol to his mouth I believe that this is how hollow Ichigo summoned Zangetsu to his hand. Meaning that Ichigo has had the capability to use fullbring for some time he simply lacked the knowledge of this technique.
