Talk:Miri Sugo

Devil Name
I know it's a bit late, but this is regarding chapter 138. I think based on Miri speaks at the end it would make the most sense to consider his devil just the plain Sword Devil, instead of it being Longsword/Broadsword. He says "if they call you Chainsaw Man, that'd make me Sword Man", which since he's replacing "chainsaw" with "sword" instead of longsword or broadsword, it kinda implies he's the plain sword devil. That wouldn't be out of the question, since we do know the Gun Devil exists. Obviously there hasn't been confirmation of like a pistol devil, etc., but I think with him calling himself specifically "Sword Man", it makes sense to start calling him the Sword Hybrid instead of Longsword or Broadsword. Especially since calling him longsword/broadsword was based off looks alone, where we couldn't even be 100% sure. At least for Barem it's easy to tell he's the flamethrower hybrid even without it being explicitly named, but with Miri it was hard to tell for sure. Even if he turns out to not be the sword hybrid, it's still the only official title given to the devil he's fused with. If someone else had said something along the lines of "looks like a broadsword!" we wouldn't be too sure, but especially since it was previously unclear which devil he was, I think it makes the most sense to consider him the sword hybrid at least for now.

I already brought this up to an admin but unforunately Unok said this: "On that part, I believe we should wait a bit more. While he makes that statement, it do makes it realistically he to be just Sword Devil, but the kanji we had in the character poll was not just kanji for "sword" (ken). So at the moment, the two are kinda contradicting with each other. Its also possible that he just shortened his nickname or generalized it. So like I said, I do feel we need to wait a bit more before we conclude if its truly Sword Devil or Longsword Devil."

I see. I still think it makes the most sense to go with Sword as afaik that's the only thing he's ever been called, especially since we're not actually moving his page and it's just editing text on it. But I don't speak Japanese and haven't looked at any of the character polls so I couldn't say on that part, so I (reluctantly) guess it's fine to leave it as longsword for now.
