Redirects

edit

All You Need Is Kill (novel) should redirect here -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 06:24, 26 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

All You Need Is Kill (graphic novel), All You Need Is Kill (light novel), All You Need Is Kill (manga), All You Need Is Kill (comic) should all redirect here. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:20, 15 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
  Done – I've created redirects from all those pages now. --V2Blast (talk) 02:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Riverworld

edit

I always like Farmer's Riverworld series, too. I think they made a movie out of those, also.--76.212.152.12 (talk) 10:19, 7 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Kiriya Keiji's name transliteration

edit

Following the release of Hollywood version of All You Need Is Kill (Edge of Tomorrow) film, the protagonist's name has been confused with the English version of the character's name which is William Cage.

While it seems quite possible that Keiji's Japanese character ケイジ is transliteration of English name Cage, however it is not the case as can be seen in various sources in the manga itself. (Note. This argument is based on the Japanese release of the manga, and it is possible that some western publishers will choose to use the Hollywood version instead)

Kiriya Keiji in Japanese characters is キリヤ・ケイジ[1], and it can be read as either Kiriya Keiji or Kiriya Cage. The latter is mostly influenced by Killer Cage nickname earned by Keiji as the story progress. However as can be seen in the manga[2], Killer Cage is transliterated to Kirā Kēji (キラー ケージ), not Keiji (ケイジ) as in Keiji's name.

The most obvious proves can also be seen in the preceding page[3] and in the official site[4] where his name is clearly romanized as Keiji Kiriya.

Rita

edit

Rita was in a loop of her own, from which she gained her skill. To the rest of the world she had the experience of only one days battle. That would not make her a decorated and experienced war veteran, though it would make her reputation as being unique and perhaps and angel.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:43, 22 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Film Adaptation vs Original Work

edit

I came here to this article to learn about the work in question, but I see that more than just the media>film section includes information about the film. Shouldn't that be reserved for the film's own respective article and section in this article? I don't see the relevance in describing this novel itself.
