Talk:Keyes

Name
You knew this was coming. Anyway, "Keith"...sounds too hilarious for this guy, even if it's spelled as キース in Japan. However, the Crunchyroll translation of the manga (it translates manga now, if no one heard) does present an alternative spelling: Keyes. Immblueversion (talk) 19:10, October 30, 2013 (UTC)

Lol, Keith sounds hilarious, but Keyes doesn't? :D Frankly both Keith and Keyes suck, so I'm not too sure... 19:14,10/30/2013

keyes? as in keys? -__- no 19:15, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * In this case, Keyes would be pronounced as "Keese". Immblueversion (talk) 00:18, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Anything is better than Keith--

I'm sorry Chaos, but I despise the name Keith. It doesn't sit well with me, given all these other names. 20:14, October 30, 2013 (UTC)

after discussing it a lil bit with gisme, I see that keith sounds horrible on a skeleton villain. Keyes is a bit better 20:16, October 30, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, by Family Guy's standards, Keith is the most unattractive male name in the English Dictionary. HAHAHAHAHA, I am srry I just had to do it, but I do support the name change.--CNBA3 (talk) 22:59, October 30, 2013 (UTC)

I'm in for the name change. It just seems to sound better than "Keith", specially when the character in question is a freaking skeleton priest.--X-Yvern (talk) 19:22, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

from what I see, Keyes = キーズ ; Keith = キース. Despite the name being atrocious, I don't want to represent invalid information. For all we know, Mashima wanted Keith. In all honesty, this is as accurate as we can say, and this discussion should be re-opened once we see Kodansha's insight 23:10, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Google translate is not a source Umnei--
 * Chaos is source enough to me, I don't see any other sources 23:14, October 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * I looked up キース on Wikipedia in Japanese. There was a disambiguation page, and lo and behold, Keyes was there under Keith, with キース being a legitimate transliteration of the name alongside キーズ and キイス. It referred to people with names such as author Daniel Keyes (ダニエル・キイス), actress Evelyn Keyes (イヴリン・キース), and politician Wade Keyes (ウェイド・キース). The disambiguation also said that キース is a transliteration of Kees and Kiess. Make of this what you will. My point being, "Keyes" is no less invalid than any of these names, and that Japanese Wikipedia can be your friend. Immblueversion (talk) Immblueversion (talk) 00:04, October 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the insight, Blue~ 00:08, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Keyes? Seriously? ...I hate it >_> 23:17,10/30/2013

Keyes.... sucks. Keith isn't good either, but I trust Mapa's judgement over our dislike for the name Keith. Besides, there would be no way for Mashima to know just how atrocious Keith sounds - he isn't American. 23:31,10/30/2013
 * You voted twice though ( ._.) 23:54,10/30/2013
 * I'm an Admin. I can do that. :D 00:45,10/31/2013

Bleh. 00:38, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

To be 100% honest and serious, I was the person who originally made Ki-Su's page, and as I was someone in chat asked what Ki-Su meant... Like, if it had a special meaning. Thinking about it, I read over his name and stopped when it sounded exactly as Geese's name did when I read that and we all had that bitch on Umy's blog about Kon trying to name Geese Keith. I paused for a second and considered naming the page Keith just because, but knew that A) My ability to translate names is by no means a source to name an article, and B) People would bitch because Ki-Su sounds better. So, even though Ki-Su sounds cooler (not necessarily better) I totally support Keith as a name. If anything, we should wait and maybe see what the character is like before having this vote. We know Mashima sometimes likes to make fun of his characters names and such, so maybe something will come to light later on. 01:52, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Two quote questions
As you can see, I already added what Keith said on page 20 as a quote. Now I'm wondering if the stuff he said on page 19 "The despairing prayers of young maidens and the resounding chimes of Hell's Bells. Your dwindling magics will breathe anew, restoring life into the earth." should be added as part of his current quote, as a seperate quote or not at all.

And then there's also the matter of giving Keith a shiny new featured quote box on top of the page (or however the quote-box on top of the character pages is called).

Personally I'm for making the two quotes seperate, since the combined quote would be very long and using the one page 19 quote for the box. NoNickNeeded (talk) 11:13, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

They are basically the same thing and part of the same thought, so I'd say it should be added to the to other one or not at all 11:53, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

Curse
Since he is now dead and I doubt we'll hear anything more from him, let's discuss what we are going to do with his curse. Currently we have been only mentioning his ability to be intangible, but we know that that's just one part of his curse. In his Abilities section it says that he is able to transform into mist but to me it looks more like sand, so I think it should be called Sand Curse. what you guys think? 20:21, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Well, for a mist, he's sure grainy.. ( ._.)~ Whilst I agree that it looks like Sand, I don't think that calling it "Sand Curse" will be suitable. My own opinion, anyways. ;o Besides, his curse is Necromancy, right? ;o
 * Necromancy is one of his curses yes. 20:26, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * So you're implying that he has two curses? :O
 * It's seemed pretty obvious to me :P 20:30, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, atm, I am thinking of a word that could merge the words "grain" and "absorb".
 * Why absorb? We haven't seen absorb anything... 20:36, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Didn't he absorbed Juvia..? I ain't paying much attention to manga, so..

I'm not even convinced he's dead. That aside, I'm not sure about Sand Curse either... but idk what would be a better option q.q /isnothelpingatall 20:28, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * disintegration curse ( o_o) 20:40, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
