Name

"Navico" is probably intended to be spelled "Naviko", because "ko" is a common feminine ending to Japanese names. The only time you see a male's name end in "ko" is when it's "hiko". Thus, the Japanese BW dub probably ended the name in "ko" to give the computer a name that sounds like a girl's name. C.V. Reynolds 06:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

In her "dolphin" form, is NAVI-ko explicitly described as a dolphin in any material? Because that tail fin orientation says shark, not dolphin. --Zandergb (talk) 01:46, 20 January 2025 (EST)

Yes, she explicitly says she's a dolphin here. --abates (talk) 04:38, 20 January 2025 (EST)

Are we looking at the same picture? Because I see two horizontal tail blades, just like any dolphin. --Khajidha (talk) 11:32, 20 January 2025 (EST)

The tail is drawn to the design specs of the Legion class Airachnid toy's helicopter tail, which has one vertical tailfin and two tiny notches on either side that Sakamoto has used to be interpreted in the art as horizontal tailfins (with the art downplaying the presence of the toy's robot mode feet on the underside of the tail), giving NAVIko an unrealistic three-finned tail. --Sabrblade (talk) 13:42, 20 January 2025 (EST)
