Talk:Ryūjin

Ryūjin's name
According to original InuYasha manga, Ryūjin's name doesn't mean "dragon god", it should be "dragon human" (竜人). All because Ryūjin's name is in kanji form, it can't be mean any other words that having the same pronoun, only related specific words allowed to be used and translated. :\ Esther Siaw (Stalk me!) 16:16, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this up. As for the Seiryū issue, he seems too snake-like to be considered a dragon. None of the other dragons in the series have reptilian mannerisms like flicking a forked tongue. Since Suzaku turns into a big rooster, which I know the Vermilion Bird is not, I think we can be safe in assuming that there are some deviations from conventional folklore.-- Suzaku 朱雀 Maze Castle 17:16, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

In short, you mean for those who making storyboards and designing the appearance of characters for InuYasha animated series are "considering" as fanarts for folklore creatures. XD I remember a scene that Sesshomaru intends to learn the true power of Tessaiga, and then he kills a dragon that does much look alike as Chinese dragon, cuts off on of its hand and uses it for testing Tessaiga. But for Suzaku and Seiryu...in my first reaction while watching that animated series...:\ they look like a snake with a giant chicken. I didn't get any problem with my eyes, but dragon equals to snake, that's odd! Esther Siaw (Stalk me!) 07:09, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
