Um, have you not been paying attention? The Nagi 8th dragon ability is the dragon's fist or also called the dragon punch. It's what allows Souchirou to steal Ishiyumi's dragon. You should check the UltraJump special if you don't remember.Dark_Harlequin wrote:Nagi doesn't posess the dragon fist.

And about the degraded-thingie - that just was a false translation. In German, the word is "degradieren", and I was just thinking that the English expression would be close to it as it is most often, but here I was fooled by a 'false friend' - the word I should have used is "to abase" or "to demote" - and she got abased by Bunshichy after the incident at the bowling alley. At least in the German translation... I just took a look into Fugu's translation, and there, Bunshichi tells her that she'll lose her position if she does keep up raising her head. Mhh... I don't know which translation is correct there. For further reference, it's on page 196 in volume three.
Hmm. Without eating that much, she would not have enough fat to mold to hide these weapons, would she?Her technique is called the Shadow blade(where a thrown blade is hidden from view behind another blade). And as for her fat she folds it inside her body along with whatever else she wants too. And that's not why she consumes all that food, she's just a glutton and that's why she is so fat, but even larger than her appetite is her vanity to the point where she can maintain her slim form even when badly wounded.
And the other thing... some people call it vanity, some people call it determination. I'll go with determination, as it is quite normal that a person who has abilities like her would not like to see the public how she really looks like. That's also the reason why so many girls wear makeup.
Plus... if I imagine myself in her position, I'd probably do the same to avoid insults for me being such a fatty. Schools are quite cruel places where people don't think about how other persons may feel when getting yelled at, so in my opinion, it's more an act of self-protection in some way.
Nickname: French-bread head( because of her unique hairstyle).
ANd her name isn't Emily it's Emi, that's not a nickname.
Hmmm hmm... I thought I'd read something about Emi being a short form of Emily somewhere else, but I can't name the source as it's quite a long time ago, so I guess you're right there.
Bomb me, please.

It's from the Ultra Jump Special, "She started as one of Takayanagi's body guard and became the lone flower of the enforcement group."

Hey guys,
this is really great. I think I'll try to add a field to the XML translations that have character information that is basically just a text area for HTML dump. Then I can integrate this into my character lists pretty easily. Also, improvements in the list are to just list the volumes that each character appears in (with a pop-up that shows page numbers) to remove those huge lists.
But, I'm super busy, so these changes might not show up for a month or three.

Re: Natsume Maya
When I typed up my description for Maya, I envisioned "special abilities" as something special/supernatural that ordinary people couldn't obtain, eg Ryuugan. The point was made in the manga that Maya has no special ability, whereas Shin and Aya have.kk1 wrote:I really should think of this all at once but anyway, under powers Maya can also do the "forged needle attack".
I had thought of adding stuff like the forged needle attack, but under a different category of waza. However, I couldn't be bothered at this point going through all the volumes of the manga to check all of the techniques used by Maya
I got my figures from an old issue of Ultrajump magazine, but I'll add those details as well. Thanks.Sota wrote:aya thee sizes in vol 9

Re: Natsume Maya
Ehh, I thought that was unique enough since so far only Mitsuomi, Shin, Nagi and Maya (and possibly Aya)have been able to pull it off, and besides them only Masataka and Dougen have shown the abilty to use ki attacks. And besides that as far as I know only one other attack of hers was named, Natsume Style Kongou Hatsu Shiki (Adamantine 8 strikes) Mt Taishan Avalanche, during her fight with Emi. And her ability to become chibi is called Natsume-style Form Refinement Technique.Natsume Maya wrote:When I typed up my description for Maya, I envisioned "special abilities" as something special/supernatural that ordinary people couldn't obtain, eg Ryuugan.

Not quite what I had in mind It'll be up to Fugu in the end. I just thought that if the character descriptions are to be used as a reference, then it should be made clear if any details have been made up (to avoid any confusion as to what is "official" information and what isn't).Dark_Harlequin wrote:Ok

Well yea, you're right. But it looks a birt stupid if for some Persons te heigt and weight are given and for others not. Perhaps we just leave it the way it is and you tell me when you think I am wrong ok?

I was just kidding.

If you're asking "what is the significance of having a middle name?" I don't know. As kk1 suggests, perhaps Danjou is a hereditary name similar to Kengo. IIRC, in the past nobles etc sometimes had middle names/titles, though I don't think those names were passed on to children.Shekhinah wrote:Just wondering, What does the Danjou in Natsume Danjou Maya mean?
(Edit: kk1, I didn't think Kengo signified that Souichirou was heir to the family. I thought it was merely a name passed down in the family; that it signified that he was a legitimate child of the family.)
If you're asking "what does the word Danjou mean?" I did a bit more looking around. I assume it's only ever used as a name, so finding the meaning is tough. "Dan" can mean "to shoot, to launch", so perhaps one way of reading the name may be "to send out/to spread justice/righteousness".
I don't think it would look stupid that way. It would simply show what information is known and what isn't.Dark_Harlequin wrote:@ Natsume Maya
Well yea, you're right. But it looks a birt stupid if for some Persons te heigt and weight are given and for others not.
But if Fugu doesn't agree, he can always just leave out those stats out in the final version.
I don't think it's a matter of what you think or I think. To me, it's a matter of what a third person reading the description would think - if nothing else is stated, would they believe that such statistics are "official" information.Perhaps we just leave it the way it is and you tell me when you think I am wrong ok?
Also, sorry, but I'm not going to check all the descriptions in detail. I'll just take care of the Natsume sisters

I would prefer that the descriptions only have official information. Actually, if you know what volume the info came from, that would be nice to know as well. The way I'm coding up the system is that each volume will have a description (so I can make separate descriptions of Mitsuomi in the past and current arc) that is specific to each volume. The final description using all the translation files will just collect the information on a per-volume basis, with a little note saying what comes from where.

Thanks for all the great help. I've updated the Volume 1 Characters page, and will slowly get around to updating the other volumes (up next: Volume 2.)
Please check out http://tjtg.mangatranslation.com/charac ... cters.html and see if the information is correct.
I really would like to thank Natsume Maya and MrProphet for the great information.
Dark_Harlequin, thanks for your effort, but I have to admit that it was very hard for me to figure out what is official and what isn't. Also, there were some spelling errors in your descriptions. I still appreciate it though!
Actually, since I've got the code in GMAO, now it is just a matter of putting the information in. So I've also been re-generating the main characters page. Comments on the content and style are appreciated.

I thought Ishiyumi was a red feather - he's the son of Ishiyumi (old dude with the mohawk, I think) who was the representative of that branch of Red feathers. Then again, it is easy for me to get confused between Red and White (Access to the special 8th Dragon vs. martial artists) and it is hard to keep track of all the info that Oh! Great throws at us. That's why it would be nice to get this stuff nailed down in the character lists...kk1 wrote:In Nagi's powers, he can absorb anyone's dragon not just red feathers as Ishiyumi is from a white feather not a red feather family. He also aborbed Shizuru's power as she confirmed in chap 80 when she said she can't use it any more.
I don't know that Shidzuru had any power other than just running fast, leaping, and kicking. That didn't sound like a dragon-based ability to me, and when Kago said "Nice dragon" I think he was being sarcastic, or at least not speaking literally.

And about Shizuru from page 126 of your own translation
Bubble 5 Character: Kamura Shidzuru
(English by fugu) I can't open my Dragon's Gate ... !!!

I'll use the Ultra Jump special - that's a good idea. They don't have those capsules for all the characters, and I think the people here know a lot about Tenjo Tenge and can do a better job. Just fooling around, I think I did a good job with Reiki, that gathers a lot of information in one convenient place. And Fu Chi'en.kk1 wrote: Yeah right guy but he is a white feather.

Anyway, I thought it might be a bit fun for people, especially those that have a favorite character or two.
And, I think by now that everyone should know that while I do translate Tenjo Tenge, I don't have a great memory for the intricacies of the story.
As for Shidzuru, I think that she's talking about one of the 7 normal Dragon's Gates (Chakra) that everyone has access to. If I had to guess, I would say it is the Wind gate, I don't know if that was said, or just the impression I got from the fleet of foot / deer motif. Anyway.

As for Shidzuru, I think that she's talking about one of the 7 normal Dragon's Gates (Chakra) that everyone has access to. If I had to guess, I would say it is the Wind gate, I don't know if that was said, or just the impression I got from the fleet of foot / deer motif. Anyway.

I have already described Kurai.
I'll also take care of Mataza soon.
Sorry for some gramar or spelling mistakes but I am from Germany and english therefore is not my maternal language. In addition a lot of things in TT are spelled and written very different from the english or the Japaneese version. so sorry for that

^^ wait wait. I'm personally still having problems seeing Nagi being able to steal *only* white feather dragon gates.
kk1, if you can, can you point out where in the manga it specifically mentioned that Nagi's can only "eat" white feather (7 standard gates) dragons? Otherwise I see no reason Nagi can't take an red feather's dragon ability.

I think he can take them all. It is a bit strange though - I assume that everyone has a water gate. Do they all have water dragons? Does everyone with access to their water gate get the same ability that Ishiyumi has (I doubt it) - so it sounds like Nagi steals abilities. Or maybe the Dragons get used to working in a certain manner, and he takes the Dragon, which manifests itself as the ability.moyism wrote:^^ wait wait.

What happens if he steals two water dragons? Anyway, I'm sure Oh! Great is playing a bit fast and loose with the rules, but that's cool. He has been remarkably self-consistent from what I've seen and read, particularly in the TT UJ Special.

Just because we haven't seen Souichirou use Mataza's gate doesn't mean he didn't eat it. He could put together some awesome combos with just the abilities he has. If he eats a dragon he already has I think it just pumps that dragon up more along with taking the ability that the person he stole it from knows. Plus, he closes his victims gate. As long as he remains in control his life won't be in danger. It's when he loses control and the dragon takes over that the dragon tries to consume him and free itself.
The regular gates are not limited to White Feathers, everyone can achieve them depending on training.moyism wrote:^^ wait wait. I'm personally still having problems seeing Nagi being able to steal *only* white feather dragon gates.
I would also assume that each person's training would be centered on one specific gate, since it's impossible to train in ALL styles and techniques at the same time, rather people usually focus on one fighting style.
Didn't say he could, I was saying he can take any gate not just red feather gates, like Fugu had in his description.moyism wrote:^^ wait wait. I'm personally still having problems seeing Nagi being able to steal *only* white feather dragon gates.

edit:and going by my new theory (see one post down) that's wrong too

It seems all eating other dragons does is make Nagi's black dragon more powerful and takes away their power to open their gate(notice it always says he can absorb their "power" not their gate). So maybe Isshiyumi, Mataza, and Shizuru all still have their gates but they lost the power it takes to open them, whereas Nagi now has the power to open more of his own gates, which is why we've only seen Nagi use the water dragon (everyone has that gate) notice how he uses it is different than how Isshiyumi did, and why we haven't seen him use Mataza's because Nagi still only has his original 8 gates. If he took Mataza's gate wouldn't that give him 9? Since Mataza's is a unique 8th gate, and its never been said anyone has or can have more than 8. I used to think it was implied Tetsuhito had more than one 8th gate but now that I think about it we haven't seen Hotaru's kid and Tetsuhito just must be his son and able to also open another of the regular 7 gates. Now that I reread it they said they think he has the power of Nagi, the power of demon exorcists, which isn't the 8th gate dragon fist but the ability to channel the energy of the black dragon and use that ki to open multiple gates.FuguTabetai wrote:I think he can take them all.

So to recap my theory, Nagi absorbs energy with the dragon fist and because he can channel the unlimited energy of the black dragon (which is the power of demon exorcists) he can open multiple gates (so far we've seen him open 3, his 8th gate, the earth gate and the water gate). So I would assume the reason other people can't open more than one gate is because they don't have enough energy. (they open the one they're most attuned to and requires the least energy) and why people whose energy Nagi has absorbed can no longer open their gate, they no longer have enough energy. So for instance Isshyumi still has his gate just not the energy to open it, and Nagi still only has 8 gates, he doesn't absorb the person's gate just the power required to open it. (which is why we won't see him using Mataza's power, Mataza still has his gate but lost his energy). Nagi is like a battery that can store unlimted energy which can open more than 1 gate but everyone else is limited to a finite amount that's only enough to open 1 gate. If you look at in the gates and dragon terms,each gate has a dragon, you feed the dragon energy and it opens the gate, Nagi's dragon eats their dragon so they still have the gate but not the dragon to open it.
And I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict Tetsuhito(look for him to attack the Jukenbou next) is Hotaru's kid(she's the right age) and somehow has the power of demon exorcists (the ability to tap the unlimited ki of the black dragon) so he too can open multiple gates, his 8th (the dragon's palm) and the other 7. How's that?
We've discussed this quite extensively in another thread before and if you go back and read the manga's description of Tetsuhito it says that he's similar to Souichirou in that he can open multiple gates. It does not imply that he has the same dragon as Souichirou. With intermarrying of families it is very possible that he can inherit two different types of gates. The demon exorcists dragon is unique in that it can close an opponents gate while stealing that dragon's abilities, therefore making itself stronger and allowing its user to gain the abilities of their opponent. If you look at it this way, then it is very possible for Souichirou to have eaten Mataza's dragon. His black dragon would just assimilate that dragon into itself.
Well, I'm not sure about having two Water Dragons, but I'm pretty sure that each person has access to all main 7 Gates, except that each also has one that they're most associated with--which is why among the 7th Gate users so far, only one Gate is ever used, (Ryuuzaki - fire, Fu Chien - earth, Ishiyumi - water) and which also makes opening multiple Gates such a big deal. I mean, why is it that Kagiroi and Nagi are treated as a special case--if anyone willing to put up with the time can train to one day open all 7?
I agree with Elite here--in the sense that opening multiple gates is perhaps not the main point, but is probably just indicative of something else entirely. Like for Nagi, it's due to his Dragon's Fist--so that's self-explanatory--whereas Kagiroi still has a huge question mark on top of his head.
So, there's a possibility that whereas all 7 Gates are available to all, only one Gate out of the 7 can be opened by an individual. That's how I pretty much understood it so far, considering Makiko's explanation of the process behind it--not to mention Ishiyumi's pissed off attitude in the recent chapters.
I don't know. I'm probably just trying to clear all of this up for myself. As usual.

I did reread it and they say he has the "power of demon exorcists, the same power as Nagi Souichiro", obviously they didn't mean the dragon fist but Nagi's ability to use unlimited ki as their whole discussion was how powerful he was.EliteF22 wrote:We've discussed this quite extensively in another thread before and if you go back and read the manga's description of Tetsuhito it says that he's similar to Souichirou in that he can open multiple gates.

As for Nagi he did eat Mataza's dragon but you open gates with dragons and if you don't have that gate to begin with you'll never open it. So since Nagi has the 8th gate of the dragon fist he will never be able to open the dragon 's claw, a gate which he doesn't have. Notice even Shizuru said "I can't open my gate" not 'I lost my gate' she still has it she just can't open it. This also explains how Nagi's mom absorbed Nagi's "power" with her Dragon fist but didn't take his gates.
