Talk:Kazakiri Hyouka

FUZE=Kazakiri
According to the original version of the novels, this is the correct way to spell 'FUZE=Kazakiri'. If anyone else is mixing this spelling up in other articles, please correct this. Flere821 21:57, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Adding to my comment above, if anyone disagrees with me otherwise, PLEASE, provide proof of some kind so we can verify it. It'll be a lot more efficient to have a editing war with both sides convinced the other is mistaken. Flere821 03:06, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Fuse Kazakiri. --Klobis 03:45, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

You should have uploaded that file into a image sharing site like photobucket or imgur Klobis if you simply need to prove a point (since the image is only going to be used once here). However, more to the point, I agree with Klobis with this, the series seems fond of using the "=" sign to connect two names together, I don't know why you guys made Kazakiri an exception here though. -TheGreatEye 15:45, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Using a "=" to separate names it's fairly a common practice, specially for foreign names that aren't written on Kanji, for what I read once the reason of why that has to be there in order to properly separate first name from last name it's because japanese does not include the uses of spaces between words and thus some names can cause the reader to mess up on what's the actual name and what's the actual last name without a something pinpointing it out clearly. On topic, I take it that now we have the actual "work" of replacing every Fuze=KAZAKIRI for FUSE=Kazakiri in the wikia? -- Okashira - Imbued with Gold - 02:35, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I concede that it is indeed spelled 'Fuse=KAZAKIRI', now that proof have been provided. Flere821 05:38, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Now for an entirely similar matter, what about the "=" sign between Fuse and KAZAKIRI? Since it has an equal sign I assume it should be removed as well given how it is used by Japanese to refer to foreign names.---TheGreatEye 08:19, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

But we could also argue that Fuse=KAZAKIRI is meant to be a system, a machine; a trademark, a code name and as such we should keep the name as it is. オリアナ＝トムソン (Oriana Thompson) will never be romanized as Oriana=Thompson since it's a name, but FiveOver will never be romanized as Fiveover or Five Over since it's serial name prevents us from doing so.... But -of course- this point is subjective.

Hyouka's Age
"Hyouka was "born" when Touma entered Academy City, as shown in Volume 6's Epilogue". This statement is wrong; what Tsuchimikado is explaining about is that Hyouka didn't realized that "she was alive" until Aleister orchestrated her meeting with Kamijou Touma and his Imagine Breaker.

Thus that technically would give us that Hyouka's "mental Age" is technically one day, and her "actual Age" (from Creation to this current time) is unknown (but can be speculated to be the same as Academy City's foundation and the power user curriculum becoming what it is).

 * Actually, her actual age is referrenced not in the epilogue, but in chapter 4 part 3:


 * On a certain day 10 years ago.


 * When Kazakiri Hyouka finally gained consciousness, she was already standing in the middle of the ‘city’.


 * The ‘city’ here doesn’t mean Academy City. But in terms of coordinates, the location is completely identical to Academy City. This is a place built by the AIM dispersal field released by the 2.3 million espers within Academy City, the invisible 'City of Shimmers'.


 * 'The City of Shimmers' has no shadows, no weight, no air flow, it's extremely thin, there's no sense of existence. Once the wind blows, the towers, trees on the road and pedestrians will be blown away like the flame on a candle wick, and let out a grey visual signal that looks like a bug that mistook the camouflage colour.


 * If there's anyone who can visualise an AIM dispersal field, the person will find that the 'City of Shimmers' completely overlaps Academy City.


 * The things that the AIM dispersal field creates doesn't just include Kazakiri Hyouka. It includes buildings, streets, trees, vehicles, crowds, everything. Kazakiri Hyouka is just someone created by the AIM dispersal field, residing within the city created by it.


 * The cause of this creation is what's mentioned in the epilogue:


 * A boy has a right hand called the Imagine Breaker.


 * This right hand is the only threat to the Imaginary District.


 * As it feels the threat, it starts to be self-aware.


 * Appetite, sleep; the basic desires that are naturally derived from human functions are all signals about ‘wanting to live’ and ‘I don’t want to die’. In other words, things that don’t know life and death won’t develop personalities or self-awareness right from the start.


 * Looking at it another way,


 * if one uses the Imagine Breaker to instill a concept of ‘death’, one can cause an illusion that doesn’t have self-awareness to be self-aware.
 * Basically, the Imaginary Number District's fear of IB caused it to become self-aware through an existence that is Kazakiri Hyouka. This is why we were able to trace Touma's arrival in Academy City to 10 years ago, which also apparently coincides with information from volume 4. 112.205.208.182 14:56, May 12, 2011 (UTC)
