Talk:RG Veda

Untitled
'RG Veda' redirects to 'Rig Veda'. What would be the best way to deal with that - removing the redirect, or a disambiguation page? Kujie 22:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * "RG Veda" leads to this article, but "Rg Veda" doesn't. I think a disambiguation page would be best. --KagamiNoMiko 09:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

How come...
How come Ashura is called a girl in the anime and he in this article? This question is not about gender-neutral pronouns. It's about character and the stylistics of how Ashura is depicted in CLAMP's work. Nor is the question about "contention" about which pronoun to use. Choosing a gender-revealing personal pronoun in mandatory in English when discussing human beings in polite or formal discourse, and the choice carries implications (which I can discuss another time) -- and that is what I want to know about. What is intended or meant by calling Ahura he?

I read somewhere -- I forgotten where, so I'm asking -- that CLAMP's RG Veda was based on Japanese folklore versions of the story. Any references to that, anyone?

 * "RG Veda" is loosely based on the Rig Veda - in the sense that CLAMP arbitrarily chose names and a few relationships, according to the interview in "CLAMP no Kiseki". They mixed this with a healthy dose of Buddhist mythology and their own story, and got "RG Veda". As for Ashura, he is said to be sexless in volume 9/10 of the manga, when it becomes a plot point for him to be so so he can't procreate, which is Ashura-oh's punishment for defying destiny. Before he knows that, however, Ashura-oh calls Ashura his son - not his daughter, not simply his child. So it makes sense to use the male pronoun for him rather than the female, in the absence of a gender-neutral one. --KagamiNoMiko (talk) 10:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Bushinshō and shitennō
I don't know how the English version of the manga translated these two terms, so I used the Japanese ones. It would be nice if someone could substitute them and also add the kanji for the original terms at the first occurrence. --KagamiNoMiko (talk) 23:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
