Name[]
I watched this movie once, but upon stumbling on this, does anyone else think that the -shin part of this technique's name means needle (針, shin)? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 15:03, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
- I vaguely remember the name being switched to that from time to time. Therefore, some people think so. ~SnapperTo 17:40, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
- I think this name would make much more sense, considering what the technique does, but I don't want to set off an edit/move war. I'll try looking it up. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:00, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Well, Google showed more results with the current kanji, but the one with the needle kanji showed up in the Japanese Wikipedia article for the movie. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 04:43, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know what sites you found, but most of what I got are mirrors of this article/the old Wikipedia articles/clearly taken from one of the two. I'd trust Japanese Wikipedia to be accurate about Japanese. ~SnapperTo 06:54, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Those are the ones I found as well. I asked Mutant16, and he said that the Japanese subtitles of the movie don't show the kanji. I think this'll end up being moved. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:40, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
