Fujin's name in Japanese means wind god. it is spelled out as fuujin, but they took out a U in the fuujin and thus, Fujin was created. and check this out people. Raiden in japanese means thunder and lightning or incoming telegram.Doens't take a scientist to know which meaning Boon exactly chose that name for. Imagine the Raiden now as a telegram sender. Boon really did some research on the names. And shujinko in Japanese means protagonist or main hero in a story. Which is what Shujinko's role in MK:D is. Kira is actually spelled as kiraa in japanese and her name means killer, which is i think her role in MK:D. And Onaga's name in japanese means .......azure-winged magpie. If i have others, i'll put it in.

Interesting info, especially about the new Deception characters. One little thing though, I don't think Boon did any research on the character name. I remember Tobias saying he created Raiden after a big statue in a Chicago museum that was the Japanese god of thunder, Raiden, with a big drum on his back. They nixed the drum, clearly.

I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke.

I think Vogel and the peopel who actually work on story and characters did the research, not Boon.

if u read my post, i described some of the roles of the characters play in Deception. So that in a way, is a spoiler for those who do not know the roles of the characters in Deception.

Oh... ok
yeah, I wasnt sure if Kira was a killer or not...
and now I see that its true, Shunjinko is the main character of the konquest mode...
I didnt really mind finding all of that out... but it really pissed me off learning that raiden was thunder and lightning... damn... no point in getting the game now.

Im sorry, im being an ass... i apologize for that...
the point i am trying to make, is a spoiler is something that if one reads, will spoil part of the game. You didnt really tell us anything that really had anything to do with the actual game that would take away from someone finding it on their.
Like the guy who had a dream, so he thought it should be a spoiler... its just stuff like that. The mods made a big deal bout postin "spoiler" (which is good) but people dont need to use it for every thread.
Personally, I dont mind find out a few things here or there, a little early, so I actually go into threads that say spoiler hoping to find out some new info, its a little annoying when the threads have nothing to do with anything.

err .... well, that's a direct translation of it. But prolly they made him a god to make it sound better. lol come on man. It's just the meaning of a name. I don't think that's gonna stop u from getting the game right ? it's just a definition.

Here's one concerning Mileena: Ms. Milena = my chemistry lab intructor and she = wicked, hateful, sarcastic bitch.
Spanish is my first language, so I can't believe I never noticed how much Kitana resembles gitana (yep..... gypsie). So what does Kitana have that resembles a gypsie? Her clothes? Shouldn't she have a crystal ball and steal money?
Ashrah means 10 in Arabic, now with all these names and meanings being said 10 has to have something to do with her and her story....maybe.

I took Linguistics 2 years ago. And "Ashrahy", if iam correct, in Ancient Persian means "betrayed on". However, in modern Persian Ashrah means Disgrace...Although the spelling is different...dont want to get into that.
