	:::For the name meanings of the Four Oni, they have titles which are fairly straightforward to translate, and whose first character roughly shares reading (except for with "Gaidora", in which the kanji wouldn't be pronounced "Gai" unless it was part of a kanji compound) with the "X" part of "X-dora". If we were dealing with a, let's say, German Transformer named "Schwanagl", and we were told his title was "The Black Claw", I wouldn't call it irresponsible to note that the name is based on the title, but in German. Likewise, we can submit that Bulkhead's name alludes to his immense size, without worrying that it is instead meant to denote that he is a retaining wall.		:::For the name meanings of the Four Oni, they have titles which are fairly straightforward to translate, and whose first character roughly shares reading (except for with "Gaidora", in which the kanji wouldn't be pronounced "Gai" unless it was part of a kanji compound) with the "X" part of "X-dora".

	:::Furthermore, the naming scheme of the combiner components follows a similar pattern (first kana + -rara, instead of of first kanji + -dora), and their color schemes are rather similar. We ''are'' allowed to use our brains without being spoonfed by Hasbro, just as when we were able to note all the homages packed within [[Ruination (WFC)]]. Personally, I think it's healthier for the wiki to eliminate spurious claims of homage after the fact, per community discussion, rather than to have a blanket rule of requiring explicit confirmation from Hasbro/Takara even in the most blatant cases.		:::Furthermore, the naming scheme of the combiner components follows a similar pattern (first kana + -rara, instead of of first kanji + -dora), and their color schemes are rather similar.

	:::That's all well and good - and of course, everyone has their right to an opinion, and I know this wiki is supposed to make policy based on the greatest consensus... But the main thrust of my point is that the articles aren't even consistent with the rule the wiki appears to support - as I said, in some cases we point it out as speculation, in some we don't. In some cases we speculate about the name's meaning, in some we don't. In some cases we pick a random potential reading among many possible, equally-likely readings and say it IS the meaning, and in some we don't (the example that's strongest in my mind for this last one is, again, the "meaning" of the "Gou" in the combiner names, which on the individual robots' pages is called out as "meaning" something that makes no more sense than at least one other potential meaning - and unlike with the Oni, we DON'T have any evidence that "Gou" is supposed to mean something else at all... And for the Samurai team, we don't even mention the most likely kanji (斬、迅、巌) as potential meanings for their names.). Ultimately, as long as the wiki is consistent with its policy on this, it's hard for me to nit-pick. But it isn't, and I don't even know that there's a consensus on what the rule SHOULD be for me to go and correct anything. I'm not Interrobang - I'm not going to go and just change things because I don't like them unless I know it fits with the wiki's policy. It would just make work for everyone else. I'll say it again: Essentially, I don't like inconsistency or conjecture misrepresented as fact, and I know full well that just editing these articles without getting some form of consensus will just lead to a pointless editing war. That's all. If you have evidence - great! I'm happy to be proven wrong! If you've got access to the bio and understand it, then throw it (or at least info from it) up on the wiki so that other people can draw the same conclusions! That's a lot more helpful than adding some note about the name "meaning ____", when that meaning is based off conjecture - even enlightened conjecture (the released Oni DO have their functions up - but not the rest of their bios). Anyways, I didn't really get into this to try to be antagonistic. Rather, I just wanted to call attention to the inconsistency so that someone could make a call on it.--[[User:BraveMax\|BraveMax]] 01:52, 24 August 2013 (EDT)		:::That's all well and good - and of course, everyone has their right to an opinion, and I know this wiki is supposed to make policy based on the greatest consensus...

			:::For all purposes Goradora has no real "function" to speak of, only the "title" 邪鬼5体合体 ([i]Jaki gotai gattai[/i]) or "Jaki 5 Piece Combination". And KrytenKoro hit the nail right on the head, that's exactly where my hunch came from. I looked up "Gora" and "Terror" on my own, but both yielded nothing relevant.
