It roughly translates to the Propagator of Confusion and Disciple of Bunnies. I felt it was fitting.

(Granted not one of those kanji are in 人名 (jinmei) kanji list, so they aren't really supposed to be used for names, but what the heck.)

And we're nominating this guy for what again?
I don't know about the "Uto" bit, but shouldn't Gohan be 悟飯 (named after the Gohan from Dragonball Z)?

Of course, since sensei is an honorific/title rather than a name (I think), I'm sure 先生 should be fine for that. (Ignoring the weirdness of this guy having two titles)

Sensei is a title, as well as a host of other things. That's the problem with Asian languages; when they're written in roman characters, they lose their meaning. I just assumed based on context (English board with general anime exposure), that this "sensei" was the one for teacher (先生) and not despotism (専制, せんせい, sensei- although, I was thinking about that one too. . . :3).

Funny thing about Japanese, it has so many homonyms that one word out of context is almost incomprehensible without kanji. 悟飯 is Gohan (Awakened/Realized Rice, no joke), but so is 御飯 (meal, honored rice) 誤判 (mistaken judgment), and 五版 (fifth edition) as well as many others.

All I did was take a few kanji I like that fit the pronunciation I was looking for and put them together. Of course, you can't really do that in Japanese because more than half the time the reading will change dependent on what the kanji is connected to. You can do that with Chinese though; that's essentially all Chinese grammar is: plugging in the characters that express your point.

^^ I showed the name I made for the inquisitor to my host dad and he just kinda laughed and patted me on the head. It reads correctly, it's just strange Japanese.

And now we're terribly off topic.

;_; I've yet to see any nominations for our dear puppet yet. . . or is this just a joke that my gullibility has sucked me into taking too seriously?

Re: The OoC Thread: KABOOOOOOM

If he can't be nominated for the parts that he needs posts for, then the answer is simple - he can log in, and start a battle. For maximum comedic effect, it should probably be with the weakest character ever created for the Battle Arena.

It's actually a fair match, because it's a case of the Unstoppable Force (Gohan), clashing with the Immovable Object (the Power of Friendship).

Re: The OoC Thread: KABOOOOOOM

Well, I was assuming Scott since it's an account that he made, but the sort of over-the-top ridiculousness that you'd expect from a character like that might be better suited for Power Shot. :3

It's probably scheduled for in about a week, so most likely about a week and a half. :3

Err. Saying your character is stronger than Gohan is the equivalent of saying you're have a god modded, overpowered character, which is not a good thing... Duh.

Regarding "gohan", we need to take into account that the BA character was named to be as cliche as possible, and so the maker would've used the most well known Gohan to western audiences.

So essentially, the same reason as why 先生 is the correct form of sensei to use.


Nominating will come soon. We need to worry about any inconsistencies first.

...Which brings me to a point: Can we still nominate and vote for his sig & avy as the best Zelda-based sig & avy, even though they aren't Zelda-based at all?

Re: The OoC Thread: KABOOOOOOM

Sasharala, we're off!

A Purple shota character? I see...

Well, just saying I won't be able to write as much as I've hoped. I have work to do, regarding a 3d animation, during my vacation. So, I'll be back to write in a week or two.
(Not that I won't be jumping in here from time to time, but..)

This is scary. I mean, when Gohan's only weakness is that he can sometimes stub his toe, having someone stronger than him is scary.

And a feat of literary engineering.

All the more reason for them to be nominated, right?

And no, I'm still keeping to my purple color!
