Talk:GetBackers story arcs

Character Names

 * I have changed all character names written in Japanese order (family name first) to Western style. When I added the information about the first three story arcs I noticed that both styles had been used. There are arguements for using either style but I think one style should be used consistently. My natural inclination was to used the Western order as that is the English version of the manga. This also makes it consistent with the other articles in the catergory and the guidelines on anime article structure.


 * Juubei Kakei: "Jubei" changed to usual spelling of "Juubei" with two 'u's

 * Mouuen Ryu is a problem. The manga uses the transliteration Liu Mengyan which even has a different word order

Ban's Snakegrip
When does Ban's "snakebite" grip first appear in the manga? It doesn't seem to be there at the start. The "secret data file" at the start of Act II mentions his evil eye, that he is one quarter German, and that he has a driving licence but not his grip.

Interlude Arcs
Are there any more Interlude stories? My verifiable information only goes as far volume 15 of the manga. I don't know if there are are any more Interlude stories beyond the three mentioned so far and after the Divine Design arc. I suspect there are more and if so they should be added.


 * An anonymous contributed has added interlude and early years arcs up to the Lost Time arc so I am editing the todo list accordingly

Mugenjou
I am unhappy with the use of the original Japanese term Mugenjou. It does not, to my knowledge, occur in the English version of either the manga or the anime. As the manga and animes use different translations there is a justification in using it. However, as this page refers to the manga then I think manga's translation of "Infinity Fortress" should be used.

Names/Titles of Story Arc
Renamed some of the titles of the story arcs to match those used in the English translation of the manga. Originally I retained but commented out the existing titles but then decided to completely delete them. Here are the changes:
 * Act 4. Get Back the Divine Melody→(Get Back) The Sound of Life
 * Act 5. Get Back the Magical Sunflower!→Phantom Sunflower
 * Act 6. The Battle to Retrieve Mugenjou's "IL"→Return to the Infinity Fortress
 * Act 7. Get Back the Arms of the Goddess!→The Arms of the Goddess
 * Act 8. Kami no Kijitsu (The Divine Design)→Divine Design
 * Act 9. Get Back Marlin Red! → Marine Red
 * Act 10. Get Back The Eternal Bond → The Eternal Bond

(The title of Act 4 includes "Get Back" in manga volume 4 but not volume 3) Jojas 23:18, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * "Marine Red" rather than "Marlin Red" (which makes sense if you consider the context)Jojas 00:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
