Talk:Nanoha Takamachi

message: So I've added a bit to the manga section concerning the near-fatal defeat Nanoha suffers (via flashback) in issue 2 of the A's-to-StrikerS manga (primarily because there's no entry for the mangas proper), and while it's an important character point that will probably be expanded on in StrikerS I'm still a little unsure if it's appropriate for the character page as I ended up doubling the length of the Manga section.

thread_title: Nanoha's injuries?

message: Which is it? Is there a source that calls it Raising Heart? Because that’s not what it sounds like. And most of those referneces aren't real references are they? They are just typed quotes. --Tyrfing 15:22, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't a way to represent the "si" sound of "Raising" in Japanese. The ジ ji katakana that is used is the closest approximation, and レイジング reijingu is how the words "raging" and "raising" would both be written in katakana. So don't go by the katakana spelling/pronunciation; it's the same for both possibilities. Philip Reuben (talk) 16:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Some people use 'shi' for 'Raising'. It does sound like 'Racing' though, but I've seen it used in that way. Then again, there isn't any official translation as I know of, since Geneon collapsed in America. :/
Should we go by the Seiyuu pronunciation? Also, "Raising Heart" doesn't make as much sense as "Raging Heart", in my opinion.

text: The voice actors have no call on what something is or is not called. Since the official material, which is to say, the opening sequence which clearly writes it in English, says it's Raising Heart, then it's Raising Heart, not Raging Heart. As such some modifications are to be made to this wiki article and to the Device wiki article which constantly switch between Raging and Raising. Raising Heart despite sounding a bit less awesome makes more sense, since Nanoha has zero amount of rage in her other than at very specific one-minute-long-at-most segments of the series. Raising Heart can pretty much stand for having high morale, being cheerful and looking up rather than down. For Nanoha, it makes more sense.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.146.151 (talk) 18:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Raising Heart v Raging Heart

message: 1) We need someone to put down who Nanoha and Raising Heart's English voice-actors are for the first season which is now officially out and dubbed. It's not bad, by the way. Go watch it.
2) Oh boy, Raising Heart vs Raging Heart debate. The material that came with the DVDs says Raising Heart. The dub says Raging Heart. The official manga says Raising Heart. The kanji/katakana/whatever says 'Reijingu' which is either Raising or Raging. The StrikerS opening says Raising. Gentlemen, we have a problem. Raging or Raising? Raising or Raging? Is there even a way to tell? I guess English purists will say that the dub is right because it's the official dub and says Raging, but Japanese purists will reply that all the source material that spells it out using the English alphabet names it Raising.
This is, to not pull back words, a b*tch. What do we do? What do we call it? People're gonna whine either ways! 70.83.146.151 (talk) 11:05, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:NAME, the name more commonly recognized by readers is to be used. So Raising Heart is just fine. Kazu-kun (talk) 15:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Well Hello There English Dub: Raising VS Raging & Misc Info

message: What did "Firing Lock is cancelled" actually means? It did not make any sense... ThunderXANA (talk) 05:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Think of it like a safety mechanism. I think they call them 'limiters' earlier on in the series. That's why they're calling 'firing locks'. They 'lock' 'firing' to a certain level, usually until she can get clearance to unleash big lasers.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.146.151 (talk) 00:49, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Firing Lock?

message: I'm still looking for a direct quote, but Masaki Tsuzuki, and both the voice actresses for Nanoha and Fate have established that Nanoha and Fate are indeed lesbians. Can someone help me find a proper source for this? Where should it be added to the article? --Tarage (talk) 06:00, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
