Talk:The Beast Player

Untitled
The article overall has too many spoilers. While I am aware of the spoiler policy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spoiler ), many of the spoilers are not required from an encyclopaedic point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hyperblaster (talk • contribs) 00:30, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Pronunciation Issue
I've always read everywhere "souja" or "sōja", but it's a wrong spelling. The real world isn't そうじゃ, it's そうしゃ, without the tenten, so it's pronounced "sousha" or "sōsha". "sousha" can be read as 走者 (official kanji), which is impossible for "souja" and the meaning got nothing to do either. I hope this will be taken into account as Wikipedia aims for the truth. 88.163.252.240 (talk) 09:30, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Saadeva

Ou vs Oh
Neither are incorrect, as both are used by differing romanisation schemes. However, if there is no official transliteration we should be using Modified Hepburn (i.e. ō), per WP:MOS-JA. Shiroi Hane (talk) 19:04, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Name one please. Sorry, but I couldn't find a single WP:RS source that did so. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:03, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Strong support per Amazon paperback In ictu oculi (talk) 09:03, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support: manga fan sites seem to refer to it as Kemono no Sōja but reliable reviews (example) and publishing outlets (examples: 1 and 2) do the same. This, along with English Wikipedia's general propensity to use English, leads me to support the nomination.    SITH   (talk)   00:49, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
