[edit] wiki newb question: more pictures

i wish we (or the main writer) could post thumbnails next to the character descriptions...that would really help in identifying who is who, making it more of a character guide.

I agree there is a good head to toe pic of each character dispersed throughout the trades displaying them would help people know who’s who and give good examples of the artistic quality present in the book.

[edit] about maki being a lover

In makis description is written, that she is Anitsus lover. I do not agree on that point. She is is love with Anotsu, but he does not love her. he only admires her for being so skilled with the sword. I'd like to change that in her description. --Franczeska 19:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I disagree entirely

Anotsu's actions and words as of the "Dreamsong" arc, as well as his actions after Makie's intervention near the end of the "Last Blood" arc seem to indicate more than admiration of her skill on his part. While I agree that "lovers" is too broad and general a term, it's also unfair to dismiss the relationship as having no romantic undertones whatsoever. Digital Watches 08:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


I think he’s right while he dose not overtly love her his interest in her dose seem to go beyond just admiration of her skills. But my opinion comes from speculation based off their depicted actions its not really enough that it should be put in the article, like I said before the article should mention that they have a complex relationship.

Leon Evelake 01:23, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


I made some major updating, not a definite entry nonetheless and it will be expanded further in the near future. --Ganso 11:28, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I think what they mean about them being lovers was that they had been intimae. Either way their relationship is more complex then the article leads the reader to believe.

[edit] Individual Character Articles

I think we should move towards giving major, and possibly later supporting and minor characters their own articles, and then a category. This would, in my opinion, help the article to be much more complete and informative. I was part of the project to do the same for Guilty Gear characters, and I think that this was a resounding success. I'd love it if I didn't have to do this alone. Digital Watches 08:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that may be a good idea, the characters are more in-depth and complex then the article leads the reader to believe and makes little mention of how many of the characters relate to each other.

Okay then, if anyone would like to make articles themselves, I'd definitely encourage it, and I'll start writing them as soon as I have time.

Hello, wiki newb here. I was wondering about templates for the character articles? I was browsing through the Comics project section and found the Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/templates. Would it be possible to modify that and use it for the character profiles or...? I wasn't sure if there was a protocol for this kind of thing and didn't want to anything major before finding out one way or another. LostPhrack 11:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if there's an overt template per se, but, as I've said, there's a basic template for Guilty Gear characters, and whoever did the Street Fighter 3 characters did it really well, too. There doesn't appear to be a uniform policy, so as long as it looks good and presents the information well, it should be fine. Digital Watches 07:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marked for Cleanup

So, apparently the articles been marked for clean up. I couldn't find anymore info on it though so I'm not sure what needs to be fixed. I was thinking of removing the notes in the story arc section though, they're just glossary material from the books and serve no real purpose here. LostPhrack 20:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


Several things can be fixed. Characters - Itto-ryu - Doa & Isaku. The grammar and spelling here can be greatly improved, although the information itself is solid.

Also, the "notes" section found within the First Arc information can be made into its own section, although it should be supplementary information. In other words, it should not repeat information that can be found elsewhere in the article, though I suppose it could be used to expound/explain other sections of the article. Much like the glossary found in the manga.

Also, for the characters' info, it might be helpful to list where each character first appears and if they died, in which episode. In many cases, it is already listed by whom. For example: Shingenyoto-Ryu: Kozue: First appears in "Secrets Part 1"; presumably killed by Magatsu in "Last Blood Part 5". Roel 02:56, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll do a little work on the appearances, I'm limited to the first six volumes at the moment. I'd still prefer to remove the notes material, but that's just me. So yeah, I'll get started on appearances. LostPhrack 21:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I added a manga info box using the templates, guidelines and examples from the WikiProject Anime and Manga and the {{Infobox animanga}} sections. I'm a little iffy on it myself. It does give a nice consistant look with some of the other anime/manga entries, but that big empty space beneath it is a little bothersome. I also removed the april clean up tag since it seemed rather pointless to have one up there for april and may. LostPhrack 11:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
