I actually have the Ultimania myself, but I can try to scan the pages or add the japanese in hidden text if you want. Also, for Saix, you changed the "Berserk big jump attack" to "Berserk leap attack", and although it sounds better, "jump" is written in katakana, which means we have to use that word, right? {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 22:59, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

:It...depends. If the katakana word is a historical loanword with precedent in the Japanese langauge, it's translated by meaning. For example, "Haaken" means "Hook", even though it's in katakana. We do it phonetically if it is clearly an English word that the kana is trying to match. According to my searches on various repositories of translations, "dai jampu" has precedent as a loanword for "leap", so I went with that. However, if you'd prefer Highjump or something like that, that would be fine, as long as it's natural-sounding.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 01:10, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

== Kingdom Hearts Photobook ==
Okay, so I'm gonna be posting this on both your and Ninja's page since I don't know who will get to it first.  But anyway!  So there's this neat little idea I have.  :)  My friend Churro is putting together a Kingdom Hearts Photobook, featuring fanart, cosplay photos - all sorts of little doodads, which will then be printed in a hardcover book and be given to Nomura as a present!  [https://twitter.com/churroz/status/823371448257388544 Details on the book are right here.]  So anyway, I tossed an idea at Churro that maybe we all can go here - a message collage!  And he's more than cool with it...if ''you'' guys are.  :)  Basically what I want to do is put up a page here where everyone can submit a short, written message they want to share.  Then I'll put the message into a nice little collage page - do my thang and make it suuuuper pretty and neat - and it'll represent all of us here at the KH Wiki!  :D  You up for it?  --[[User:Ignis|Ignis]] ([[User talk:Ignis|talk]]) 04:34, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
