Talk:Momiji Inubashiri

From Touhou Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

By the way, it says that Momizi is the only sprite-only character to have an official name and profile, but you seem to be neglecting a certain harbinger of spring.

Why is the index name "Momizi", not "Momiji"?

We will write Japanese words in the Hepburn style, which is better used in this place. In this style, we should write as "Momiji". Why is the index of this page "Momizi"? I think we should correct spelling in this article and the category page.

ZUN spelled it "Momizi" in MoF. But if we prefer in-game romanizations, I don't know why we're using Fujiwara no Mokou (instead of Huziwara). You're right, we ought to be consistent with which spelling we prefer for page titles.
This goes for your other name concerns, as well. -7HS 18:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Hmmmm, I see. Thank you very much for your quick precise advice, 7HS.
Personally I dislike a text where there is the mixture of Hepburn romanization style and Cabinet-order romanization style. But I want to respect the original spelling...
For almost all the people familiar to Japanese language, normally it's not valuable how they write their everyday-life's words in latin alphabet. So when they need to romanize them, those who know the difference between the 2 romanization style can romanize them easily only in one style, and those who don't know it can't romanize them easily or don't mind writing in the mixture of the 2 romanization style. Perhaps ZUN is the latter. I'm frustrating! --Masuo64 19:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Kappa?

It's says on her profile that she is playing Dai shogi with the Kappa, a type of chess in Europe. So it means she knows Nitori Kawashiro right? -Dandan550 08:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Considering rationally, it's not the exact interpretation. But rather many fans accept it because accepting it expands our dreams joyfully. (Or not accepting allows Momiji to have relation only to Aya...) --Masuo64 09:22, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
One artist makes a vid of it. Quite funny~ -124.217.16.70 05:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Wolf or Crow?

Can all tengu turn into birds? I just saw Momizi turn into a crow and fly away after the battle in Stage 4 of MoF. Doesn't being wolf tengu mean she must be turning into a wolf? Renivall Jeagerjacques 17:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

But, of course, there's no official setting that all the tengu are crows. Momiji's metamorphose means all hakurou tengu (白狼天狗) of Touhou are crows. In the first place, tengu is generally a kind of youkai derived from monks of Shugendou, which was a mixture of the ancient native moutain worship and other relligions. Monks was feared because they were strange from the view of normal people (buddhist or shintouist) & because they were rarely seen to be stuck in the mountain for the ascetic trainings. So, tengu is related with mountain itself & creatures on mountain. This is the evidence that some temples say hakurou tengu is crow, and others say that is wolf. ZUN picked up some facts for his preference, I guess. --Masuo64 14:44, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I see, thanks. I'll remember that. Renivall Jeagerjacques 17:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Comic apparence?

Doesn`t she appear in Oriental Sacred Place 1?

Telegnosis Range

I'm looking at the statement of range of that and I'm not sure if we should have the trivia on the range of the ability being that way as I'm looking at the SoPM interview and noticing that the 1000 li/ri statement comes there and is only in parenthesis with the statement of 'As for Momiji... she has a lot of White Wolf Tengu comrades, and has telegnosis (1000 li vision).[SIC]' in the translated side, which corresponds to 椛は……白狐天狗は仲間が多いんですが、千里眼を持っているのですごく便利なキャラですね。

So I'm not sure if that's a literal components of the word for Clairvoyance/Telegnosis being listed or its an actual statement that her vision is that much. Maybe this should be on the SoPM page but I'm thinking this might be in need of a clarification. Also with that being '1000 li' well it turns out there is a traditional Chinese measurement of length with that name which is .5 Meters, this confusion effects the range by a rather large amount as 1000 li is 500km vs 3927km of 1000 ri

Edit: If this should be on the SoPM page please tell me and I'll move it there. Zelinko (talk) 01:17, 19 December 2012 (EST)
