Talk:Fist of the Blue Sky

Fair use rationale for Image:Yasaka.jpg
Image:Yasaka.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Separate pages for Characters, Manga and Episodes.
Is anyone willing and/or able to create separate pages for Characters, Manga list and Episodes List? I propose to provide episode summaries which will make the page unreasonably long.Ozflashman (talk) 03:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Authorship Inconsistency, Research Needed
Who wrote Fist of the Blue Sky? Buronson? Tetsuo Hara? Nobu Horie?

The introductory paragraph to this Wikipedia page claims that Fist of the Blue Sky is written and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara with Buronson acting as plot supervisor. The information panel to the side, however, states that the manga series is written by Buronson. Finally, the covers of the English-language volumes (published under the Raijin label) give story-writing credit to a Nobu Horie (written on the covers as Horie Nobu). Who is Nobu Horie? Oddly, this person's name does not appear anywhere in this Wikipedia article.

Looking at the Japanese Wikipedia article for 蒼天の拳 with a simple but possibly-inaccurate Japanese-to-English translation, it seems I've found an answer: Nobuhiko Horie (堀江信彦) does in fact seem to be the writer of Fist of the Blue Sky, or, if not the writer, it may just be that he is the person who devised the original concept for this prequel story. It is notable that Nobuhiko Horie appears to have been the editor-in-chief of Weekly Comic Bunch (週刊コミックバンチ) at the time. Most of the instances where the Japanese Wikipedia article mentions Nobuhiko Horie and his involvement on this project come with citations using the Fist of the Blue Sky DVD Vol.9 bonus video "Tetsuo Hara x Nobuhiko Horie Dialogue" as their reference.
