Talk:Catfish Deyansu

Name Translation
でやんす　(or デヤンス, for some reason, in this case), is a sort of "archaic way of saying です," according to my Japanese husband. As this is the case, having it in the name isn't really accurate. I don't know what everyone wants to move this to in light of this, but I thought I'd bring it up. 03:21, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, well, it's definitely part of the name, it's listed that way every time it's mentioned. None of the other enemies have anything like it, so it's pretty specific. I guess it's just a cute addition rather than just calling it a Catfish? The enemies have a sort of weird, dopey character, I guess it's meant to relate to that? It's kind of untranslatable so I guess it's best to leave it as there is no known English name for hardly any of the enemies in this game. The names in this game make me think of enemies from the Mother series, namely weird and "punny". Not sure if this one is a pun or just weird. If your husband can help with any of the others that would be great! I've still got a bunch more Tingle enemy names to add to the wiki and a good chunk of them are pretty confusing to a non-Japanese speaker like me. 14:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
