Name[]
Did the final version of the Sisters comic resolve the naming issue from the preview? Shumuzu or Shuzumu? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:22, May 31, 2015 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, no - the name did not come up again from what I saw. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word?

- I put Shumuzu on the transcript, but that was just because I felt it sounded better. Should a War Room discussion be held to dicuss which name we'll use? Or should we just leave it as circus master and change the transcript to that as well? --Tono555

- When I brought this up in February, the idea was to wait and see what the comic revealed and to discuss it again if it provided no resolution. So we can reopen this to the WR. PSUAvatar14 Want to have a word?

- There is little point in reopening the War Room, since no conclusion can be reached. The official sources do not give an answer, so the answer is, "we don't know". As such, I think it is most factually correct to not change his name anywhere and just add a trivia on his page saying that his name is either Shumuzu or Shuzumu. Lady Lostris /

- Well, there's one possible way to settle this. Does anyone have Twitter? Someone could tweet Gene Yang and ask him directly. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:59, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

If an official source confirms the name, then it goes without saying that said name will be used. So those with the means to do so are always free to ask for clarity. Till then, the status quo is the most neutral option to go. Lady Lostris / SOAP 22:07, June 2, 2015 (UTC)
- I'd ask on twitter, but I don't have one. Anyone else? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:09, June 2, 2015 (UTC)
- You could ask Hasdi. He might be able to contact an official source there. I don't have one myself either. Tono555 22:14, June 2, 2015 (UTC)
- Asked Hasdi, and he's asked. Now we wait. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:53, June 2, 2015 (UTC)

In the german translation of the comic (published in Gratis Comic Tag 2016/equivalent of FCBD 2016) it's only "Shuzumu". From a phonetics perspective, "Shumuzu" sounds off. I'm going to rename the page. H8149 (wall • contribs) 12:15, July 29, 2018 (UTC)
