Talk:Four Rakshasa Demons

The name
*Sigh* Okay. I'm quite tired from doing research on how to translate this properly.

First off, the word temple probably shouldn't be there. In Japanese, their name is "Rasetsu Yonki", with rasetsu being a Japanese name for rakshasa (a Hindu demon) and "yonki" meaning "four demons". However, alone, the second kanji of "rasetsu" can indeed mean temple, so maybe that was a translation error.

Second, the Kouken part. Bolic introduces them as "Koukenji Rasetsu Yonki", and the subs leave Koukenji untranslated. However, later on in the episode, as well as on the anime's website, they are simply named "Rasetsu Yonki" with "Kokuenji" omitted. So far I haven't found the kanji used for "koukenji", however, "kouken" can simply mean "guardian". So, until it becomes clear, we can simply refer to them as "Four Rakshasa Demons", which is a more or less direct translation of the available kanji. --kiadony --talk to me-- 18:57, November 2, 2014 (UTC)
