Onaga. Fish.

uhh, you're two days late homeboy, im one of the 1st to post the meaning of "Onaga" up...heres the thread link, http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?name=mk6&message;=123486&page;=3
i aint flamin' u so calm down.

If Onaga is a red snapper, then I ate it a million times in that one Japanese sushi and seafood buffet. Flawless victory for me over Onaga. BOO YAH!

Thanks for the info!

Ok lets squash this once and for all. As I stated before; not only is my wife Japanese, but she also carries around one of those portable electronic Japanese dictionaries that translates and helps her speak english. I can't help her because I'm from the south and have that annoying southern accent. First, the Japanese language has different dialecs depending what part of Japan you are from. Example: My wife is Osaka (kind of south) and her friend is from Kyushu (way up north). What one word means to her does not have the same meaning to her friend. Second, the word you're referring to is onaga not onagu. Third, onaga means long tail to southern Japanese. To some parts of Japan, onaga is a shark (fish). My wife can explain the Japanese language to me for years and I still will not understand.

Thanx for the insight Molsen.

In the explanation with Japanese and Red I can only think Sektor. Of course that's a long-shot. (isn't it?)

I thought Havik was gonna be the subboss.

Your geography of japan is a bit off!
Kyuushuu is in the south not the north,Osaka is south west but still north of Kyuushuu.

Most people in japan understand hyoujun-go(standard japanese) no matter which part of japan they are in.This is what is taught in schools.They would avoid using regional dialects when speaking to people they knew didn't understand them.

So is this character gonna look like a fish-alien from star trek then...

Baka. Translate that ^_^

Interesting.

I hope its something "fishy". Not another shokan!

A fish-like boss would be unusual. Maybe this character will be somewhat aquatic and not necessarily a fish. It could be a deity or some mutant like creature.

that be kool. the arena could be surrounded by water. onagu would be able to hide in the water and jump out at you.

Hopefully he's not a joke character that uses fish as a weapon style.

For the first time ever, a fatality can be performed on this boss. The fryality. A pan, salt, pepper, maybe a little tabasco, and voila! Fryality!!!

Good eye, I jotted down the info incorrectly and didn't bother to correct it. My wife's friend was born in Kyushu and lived in Misawa. And yes different regions have different meanings for words. It's the same situation here in the U.S. with our slang. Soda on the east coast means carbonated beverage. In the south (Tennessee) soda means baking soda and we have one word for all carbonaated drinks......pop or coke.

Maybe you can fight this creature underwater. How kick ass wouild be that? The whole arena underwater!

Maybe it's Skab.

Molsen81:
Actually didn't realise that in the states you guys had the regional differences in vocab I thought it was just accents.So I learnt something too.

Still think if they put a fish character in t gonna be based on the ones from in Star Trek Voyager or maybe was it Next Gen -fish-humanoid aliens from the future.

ahh memorys

Onaga is also a chicken with long tail...
Could Onaga be the "skab" with the helmet and the long feathers?

I can imagine "being slapped with a large trout" as a special move.
