Talk:Might Guy

message: C'mon, guys. This opening paragraph isn't even remotely close to NPOV:
"Maito Gai is a fictional character in the anime and manga series Naruto. Although he is almost exclusively referred to as Maito Gai by the English Naruto fan base (which is CORRECT), the crappy ENGLISH second official data book (Hiden: Tō no Sho) states GAI's name as Might Guy because they are retarded. This is in fact untrue, because as indicated in the official, Japanese anime, which is also uncut and pure, it is stated as MAITO GAI. The English version of the anime and manga also uses Might Guy, because they have their heads wedged FAR too far up their patoosies."

thread_title:  GROSS Violation of NPOV 

message: This page is getting vandalized and fixed to the point that it feels like it's changing every hour, and it is always switching the spelling of the name from Might Guy to Maito Gai and back.  It's really starting to become annoying.  Since many of the edits are coming from anonymous IPs, is it possible to partially lock the page so that anons can't make edits?  At least until they get the point and stop trying to change the name.  The ones who have usernames can at least be dealt with via temp bans and such.

thread_title: Kage Bunshin?

message: Seeing as how this page is constantly being edited, I'd like to know how half of it is relavent and not just something to instigate lame fanboy discussion.  While one can mention Itachi's warning and high regards to Guy and not underestimating him, mentioning a narrowing of his eyes is taking things a bit out of context, as we don't really know if Itachi was narrowing his eyes at Guy in general, or the fact that they were being interrupted.  
Also it is not known yet whether or not Guy opened the sixth gate only, or opened six gates in succession.
"When this happens, a beach at sunset, complete with crashing waves, usually appears behind them."
Didn't this only happen once when Guy hugged Lee?  Yep, only during their introduction.  With this added on, including a scene of a 26-27 year old Guy comically whining and musing sadly of his youth fading, and extra mentions of how OMGDISTURBED!11 all of the kids were at Kakashi on Guy's back....half of this stuff seems irrelavent to Guy's role in the manga.  You might as well add everything comical he ever does.  
Half of the translations of that entire scene had the children completely overreacting, and Neji shouting "Hell no!" to Lee's offer, when the original translation has Neji stating "Absolutely not." to Lee's offer, with the kids having a much more tamed and comical reaction to Guy and Kakashi.

Also, I feel like crying about little things that don't matter. So.

^ This and many other translations from the second character databook say that Guy's favourite phrase is "the Flower of our Youth".  It would also help to explain that hitting the mitt is punching a punching bag, or a term for boxing.
:To try and address your points:
:#Itachi seems to narrow his eyes a lot, so saying that he does so at Guy probably means very little. However, when Guy comments that he had already taken into consideration how to fight Itachi, Itachi immediately gets his own panel where his eyes seem to be slightly narrower than usual, so it seems that this comment at least provoked a response.
:#The article doesn't dismiss the fact that he opened earlier gates; it merely states that he opened the sixth gate to using the Morning Peacock.
:#I can only recall seeing a sunset in a video game, so I don't know how often it has actually happened in the actual series (more specifically, the anime, as I don't remember seeing that in the manga).
:#The things you listed are about the extent of Guy's hilarity, though the reason they're mentioned is to illustrate that Guy is more "zany" than most of the other characters.
:#I fail to see how the differing translations of the piggyback scene applies to this article, or at least how what you pointed out applies to the article, as your links don't work.
:#Don't know about his favorite phrase, though I agree that the mitt thing could use a clarification.
:So, yeah. What? I have no idea if you were trying to make a point or if you were just mentioning things about the article. ~SnapperTo 06:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

::1) Please post your messages using proper spelling and grammar, or at least as close to it as you can get. Wikipedia's discussion pages are not like threads of a typical message board, and such posting etiquite is barely acceptable on those message boards to begin with.
::2) Please sign your posts with four "~"s. It makes it easier to see how old or recent your message was, so as to not waste time responding to year-old messages.
::3) The image that you requested would not better the article in any way. Therefore, it's not worth the effort to find that image or upload it, nor is it worth putting on the page.

This translation is wrong... someone should check it, "Aoi" = blue...

message: I don't understand why Sess won't explain the justification for their additions of categories to redirects. I have read the lengthy guideline quoted but I can see no need for this specific redirect, can anyone else? Better still would Sess just tell me specifically which bits of the guideline support you and I will be happy ... it's not difficult and it would be considered common courtesy by most people.
