message: I didn't edit what I suspect to be a mistranslation:  I suspect author meant to say she uses her control over her chi to shrink rather than she controls her chi BY shrinking.  I'm not familiar with the story line so I refrain.  It seems to be a confusion between cause (control over chi) and effect or result (shrinking).  But perhaps she uses some magic or technology to shrink thereby gaining, changing or losing chi.Perhaps someone familar with the story line would step in?
: She changes her size in order to hold back. Alternatively as some kind of training. I think they explain the shrinking as some chi-ability. --Philip Nilsson 10:18, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I've only progressed a very short way into this series so far (I am watching the anime), but I wanted to see if anyone else noticed the treatment of the character Bob in this anime.  He is a foreigner, he is black, and he seems to be in a relationship with a Japanese girl, all of which would typically give writers reason to dislike him, and yet he doesn't seem to succumb to the typical stereotypes of most anime.  Foreigners are loud and brash, violent, and typically stupid, and are outclassed by their Japanese counterparts in every respect--and that's for white foreigners, other ethnicities tend to get it even worse.  And yet, in Tenjou Tenge, Bob so far seems to be very intelligent, soft-spoken, and even kind.
I just wanted to see if anyone else has caught on to the remarkably positive treatment this character has received in Tenjou Tenge.  I find it to be very refreshing.  And I hope that as I progress beyond episode 3 it doesn't do an about-face. --Kuronekoyama 04:57, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

message: i decided it was a travesty to not have any character pages for Tenjho tenge. especially since the series is awesome, particularly the manga, and it has some of the coolest characters in anime in my opinion. took it upon myself to fix that...someone else feel free to do some too, i'm lazy and i'm only gonna do characters i like.

message: Hey there. I'm a little confused regarding the anime episodes' list. Though it's been said that there are 26 episodes, as far as I know there are only 24 - plus 2 OVAs, as has been stated at the beginning of the article. Can anyone explain me that a little better? Is that correct? -  Haggen Kennedy 15:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: yeah man, the 2 ovas where 30 minutes long and pickedup where the anime left off...they're counting em as episodes. cuz they really are just a continuation of the anime, it probably should be more specific but it doesn't really matter. --grimjaw 04:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I can't stand it when they go to present I like the flashback arc everyone was so young and full of life,now they are all old and serious.My friends and I can't really stand the present characters.But how does anyone else feel? I wanna hear your opinions.--Cojin 02:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: shin was a badass and i really liked him, but i like the present more. Bunshichi is still awesome, kagesada is ten thousand times cooler, masataka is a badass, mouki was cool, and i think the story is more interesting (not that the flashback was boring). the present was gay at first, but it got cool after the anime cut off. --Grimjaw 02:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone put this in statement in the Tetsuhito Kagiroi trivia section; "The 14th tankobuken has Aya able to activate Reiki through a ladybug that is on Reiki which Maya then places inside her shirt.

replies: text: They are two different families since they use different kanji. Their might be a mistake in the translation. It also might not be because Aya (modern and past) go by the same name, but also use different kanji. (Duane543 04:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if there's any word of the continuation of the anime? I mean, will it ever continue after what's been made so far? Why did they stop making the anime in the first place?
I can't find the answers to any of these questions, so if anyone else can I'd love to know. --MooNFisH 10:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: most likely not. some stuff in the ova's potentially messed up the plot. i hear it might be coming to CN, if so better hope is popular enough to spur a new season. --Grimjaw 06:15, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone needs to cite where it states that the Wani family specialize in naval affairs. I know that the head of family during the Feudal Japan Arc was fond of ships, but this could be the characters own personal interest and not the families as a whole.

text:  This line is a paraphrase. The original line is: "The same might be said of the characters: even though all the women are impossibly curvy and all the men impossibly buff, the personalities come through in their distinctive features and make them easy to tell apart." Thus the reason that I have a citation at the end of the sentence. Do you want a direct quote? I think ludicrously sounds better then impossibly. (Duane543 (talk) 17:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The article does not explain why Tenjho is chosen over Tenjou. I think that should be included either in the article, or in the talk page to avoid it being introduced.

thread_title:  Template merge 

message: I was browsing through the Tenjo Tenge articles and I noticed several points that could, or in some cases need to be, improved.
First, the lead section of the main article (this one) is currently under-detailed and has some poor grammar. Normally wouldn't be a pressing problem, but since Tenjo Tenge is a GA-class article it should be improved to ensure that nobody delists it. 
Second, there are currently articles on a number of very marginal characters from Tenjo Tenge. For instance, Noriko Shindayuu Inue and Tsutomu Ryuuzaki are blatant WP:AFD magnets. These should probably be merged to the character list page. If this causes problems with page length for List of Tenjho Tenge characters, then splitting the list up into protagonist/antagonist factions is probably in order.
Third --and this should help with concerns that the merging of the character articles will hurt the understandability of the rather convoluted plot-- a List of Tenjho Tenge chapters should be created which covers the volumes of the manga. (Model pages for this would be List of Claymore chapters and the Naruto chapter lists.)
No particular hurry, except on the first one, but please keep these in mind. Thank you. --erachima talk 07:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you see poor grammar, be bold and fix it. You also have to be more specific in what you think in the lead needs to be expanded. Some examples of manga or anime articles that have good leads would help. (Duane543 (talk) 00:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, I know. I'm mostly focusing on a GA push on another article right now though, so my attention's elsewhere. As for examples of pages with good lead sections, a commonly cited example (though one I don't necessarily agree with, as I think it delves into excess minutia) is Tokyo Mew Mew. --erachima talk 00:35, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

text: I looked a Tokyo Mew Mew lead and I don't like how the editors did it. It is like you said, it is excessive. (Duane543 (talk) 22:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
