Name?

Ok, I just looked up the meaning of the kanji, and this jutsu's name seems to be more complex than this. Something along the lines of "Angry Heaven Hair". I don't know how the translations are supposed to be stringed together, but it looks weird every way I do it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:33, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

This is a perfect example of why certain names should not be translated by the individual kanji. 怒髪天 is a Japanese word meaning fury. The kanji literally mean angry, hair, and heaven, respectively. They derive from the concept of being so angry, the hair on one's head stands up. Heaven, in this case, refers to the top of one's head. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 18:00, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
*raised eyebrow* Things like that almost makes me feel glad that my first language is Portuguese. We have tons of grammatical rules with even more tons of exceptions, but things like that don't exist in it AFAIK. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:09, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
Each and every language has its odd collocations, idioms, and sayings. The only reason you are not aware of them in your own language is because they seem natural to you. After all, you've been hearing and using them all your life. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 18:17, March 15, 2010 (UTC)
