:Oh, because people usually translate it as "The Devil" or "Satan", in terms, they translate it as a type of Devil Ruler or Devil God, those terms I mentioned in the first sentence aren't accurate translations of Majin, because technically, it's describing powerful evil demons with a destructive purpose for disasters. Now I remember, the reason I changed it was to prevent that misunderstanding. I usually use Japanese based sites like kotobank.jp for the translation of words, since English based ones usually aren't really accurate at times since it's not from a Japanese based source. --[[User:Vaati The Wind Demon|Vaati The Wind Demon]] ([[User talk:Vaati The Wind Demon|talk]]) 16:17, 26 December 2013 (UTC) | :Oh, because people usually translate it as "The Devil" or "Satan", in terms, they translate it as a type of Devil Ruler or Devil God, those terms I mentioned in the first sentence aren't accurate translations of Majin, because technically, it's describing powerful evil demons with a destructive purpose for disasters.

::I think you misunderstood, I said translating Majin/魔神 as "Thee Devil", like a "Demon Ruler", or "Satan" is inaccurate. A Majin/魔神 isn't a ruler, it's not a Sovereign of Demons/Devils, it's just a powerful demon/devil. Demon/Devil Rulers are Akujin/悪神, 邪神/Jashin, and/or Mao/魔王. --[[User:Vaati The Wind Demon|Vaati The Wind Demon]] ([[User talk:Vaati The Wind Demon|talk]]) 21:45, 26 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
