Idea for Japanese dialect/way of speaking guide

Post by Ringworm128 » Fri May 18, 2012 1:24 am

You know the personal pronoun guide? Well I was thinking what about a guide on what forms of Japanese speech the characters use (i.e Freeza's keigo form of speech or Goku's Tōhoku form of speech).

Wasn't there one in the old Kanzentai site?

Here it is: http://www.kanzentai.com/mini_db.php?id=pronoun
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

That's just for how the characters say "I". I was talking about a guide for what different forms of Japanese the characters speak.
