Talk:Tetsusaiga

message: I made a number of edits just now. Besides what I noted in my summary, the desciption of the Hosenki incident seemed subtly false. I agree it seems like Hosenki hadn't decided whether or not to let his head break until after Inuyasha stopped trying to cut it. But I believe he says the test started with the sword attacks, and that his diamond shard response would have killed Inuyasha if the hanyou had sought only power (or words to that effect.) Finally a fracture appears where Inuyasha tried to cut him. 
So far I haven't changed this other part, but I'd like clarification: When he attempted to cut the barrier orb, he could not cut it due to a barrier around the orb. However, when he felt compassion for Shiori and protected her from the orb's power, he was able to obtain the orb's power without ever having cut it. This seems misleading if we go by the anime. Did the manga portray it differently? In the show, a ghost of the demon grandfather who once had the power appears and Inuyasha cuts the ghost with the sword. In a sense, he does gain the power by cutting a demon that created powerful barriers as per his original instructions, just not quite the way he expected. Dan 23:58, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: sword upgrades

message: The article in its entirety is confusing.  The editors constantly switch from Japanese to English and back like it is interchangeable to an outside viewer.  The whole article is poorly written and should be redone.  I've taken very little Japanese and reading this article is like walking through a mine field of obfuscation.
:You have a point, but it's not totally confusing. I feel that it's just that the whole debate Tessaiga vs. Tetsusaiga begins to feel like wading in treacle. I suggest we use common sense and stop fighting over the finer points everyone has. If it's mostly Tessaiga everywhere and even Takahashi has acknowledged it, then that should be it. I mean sometimes we should learn to give up an argument when it just obscures the point even more than it already is. I hope nobody gets me wrong. I respect everyone's contribution. --Doppelgangland 12:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Itself

message: Is there any information on why this attack shoots diamond shards during InuYasha's era but not in the modern day? I don't remember them figuring out why in the series so I came here for that out of curiosity (maybe it was mentioned in the manga or something?). Wa 09:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Adamant Barage

message: As much as I appreciate the writers of this article putting together a theory about Tenseiga and Tessaiga, maybe there should be in another subsection (Theories and Speculations, maybe) as to not confuse readers what has happened, and what can be deduced.

thread_title:  Father's intent of the swords 

message: :Any additional comments:
I request to move Tessaiga to Tetsusaiga because:
* All known versions of InuYasha published in the English language by VIZ Media in the U.S., Canada, and the UK use "Tetsusaiga" - therefore the name is best known in the English-speaking world.
* There is known no reliable source that states that the change from Tessaiga to Tetsusaiga was an error on VIZ's part. See Wikipedia:RS - In order to make that assertion one must have a reliable source that explicitly states this. If we do not have a reliable source that states this, we cannot make that statement.
