This is the part that was interesting to me
So it seems that Tenshinhan is not human ? And from heavenly descent ? So I went to decipher his kanji name at our beloved Tenshinhan (天津飯) and also check how is spelled Triclops in japan.(11) What's up with the third eye on my main man Tenshinhan? Is Tenshinhan human?

T: In certain parts of Asia, beings with a third eye on their forehead are thought to be godlike and are said to possess the power of true seeing. It seems that Tenshinhan, who was raised by the evil Tsuru-Sen'nin [Crane Hermit], lost the ability to use the myriad powers of his third eye for good purposes.
So its name comes from Tenshinhan (天津 飯) or Tenshindon (天津 丼). This is a crab omelet with rice. The rice is called "han" (飯) in Japanese, "Tenshin" is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese "Tientsin" which is also called "Tianjin" and which is the name of the city where the high quality rice comes from that composes this dish. Also if we take his specific physical aspect he is a triclops. A Triclops in japanese is written like this (トリクロプス)
Now we have his name and the name of what is called a Triclops in japanese, do you still follow me I hope so ?
Let's take a look at both Kanji name:
-天津飯
-トリクロプス
This (天) Kanji is interesting because this one is use for naming heaven or sky another meaning is that this kanjin reference the Deva, the Deva in Sanskrit are twelve Hinduism deities who were included in the Buddhist pantheon as protectors of the Buddha and his Law. The other Kanji thats intrigue me in the second word, is this one (トリ) that means bird.
So the species of Tenshinhan could be of heavenly descent like some sort of angel like Whis but a lowcast of angel perhaps ? And also that this species are a based on some kind of bird that would have evolved into human form (losing beak, wings and other bird features). Thought does that makes sense to you and do you think my description is spot on ?
