Talk:Oshus

Possible Japanese etymology (my own hypothesis):

Oshus' name in Japanese is シーワン (shiiwan). I suspect that "shii" is just the English word "sea" (this is how the Japanese would transcribe/pronounce it). Also, "wang" is Chinese for "king" (it is the Chinese reading of the character "王") which the Japanese would pronounce "wan". Thus I believe that his Japanese name is "ocean king" in an English-Chinese combo ("sea-wang"), which seems really reasonable since that's his real identity.

I specifically created an account just to bring this up... :P (I couldn't find a similar theory anywhere on the internet.) Is this something that should be added to the article?

 * Ok, thanks! I added it under "Trivia". I'm quite sure that this theory is true, and so is my friend who's better at Japanese than I am.
 * I came up with this on my own, but I googled it in Japanese and found a lot of pages with the same conclusion. See e.g.

 * Even if you don't know any Japanese at all, you can search for "sea" on the page and look nearby for the 王 (wan/wang) and シーワン (shiiwan).
