Talk:Hyper Convoy
Okay. I've done some investigating. While it's true that the leader of the Convoy Council is Great Convoy and not Hyper Convoy... I can find no reference to the term "Hyper Convoy" on Japanese webpages by searching with a combination of the standard katakana for the words (ハイパーコンボイ, ha-i-paa ko-n-bo-i). I can find plenty of references to both Great Convoy (グレートコンボイ) and Star Upper (スターアッパー), so this doesn't seem to be a particular failing of the Japanese fandom.
I have the sneaking suspicion that the only time the term "Hyper Convoy" comes up is when Star Upper refers to himself with it. Unless someone can cite a source for where the term crops up as a legitimate rank, I'm calling foul.
(Out of curiosity, does anyone have the Japanese language version of this page? I want to have someone else look at it and check the phrasing on the "have passed the rank of" part.) --Monzo 02:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd honestly never heard of the term "Hyper Convoy" until I started working on this wiki and people kept talking about it. Having watched BWII and Neo I never once noticed mention of it. Just Convoys and th Convoy Council. So I figured it was something mentioned in the manga, which apparently it was. Though I really don't know anything more about it than what the people on this wiki told me. --DrSpengler 02:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I dispute Monzo changing the hyperconvoy thing to a hypothetical- the rank came from, IIRC, Apache. (Or at least was recognized by him as a post-Matrix rank.) -Derik 05:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Context! The rank is first mentioned by Star Upper.
