Talk:Anna the Itako

Kyouyama/Asakura Anna
Eh, why move Anna to Anna II? She's the the original. Last 2 pages of Shaman King: Flowers is:

-I am Anna the Itako the third. Daughter of Silva, himself a descendant of the Shaman King Hao, currently living in L.A., and a disciple of Anna the First.

IF YOU WIN AGAINST ME, I'LL MARRY YOU.

You probably think the first Anna is Asanoha. I think the second Anna is Okami Tamao. Either way, only the First and Third have been named definitively.

Additionally, I would use the last page of Flowers as the image for Anna III. The Databook image used right now obscures her face.

 * I see you have not red the datafiles from mentalite. Here name there is "Anna The Itako the 3rd" meaning that she is the third Anna who is also an Itako. So the number comes from both name and proffession and Tamao has none of them. It's just like the line of kings and queens. Even if a royalty has the same name as another king or queen they will never be given the number unless they accent the throne, e.g the same proffession. Also i don't think that the first Anna was Asanoha as the fan idea that Asanoha has been reincarnated as Anna II cannot be true as Asanoha and and Anna was seen at the same time together inside the Great Spirit. --Gojita 18:58, September 27, 2009 (UTC)Gojita


 * Eh, my beef is with "Anna II", whom I think is actually Anna I. Anna III mentions she is the disciple of Anna I, and I assumed it was Kyoyama Anna being referred to. Given the obvious similarities, I would hopefully be reasonable in making that assumption. Either way, my question stands. Foolworm 20:39, September 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * There is also the possibility that Asakura Kino who trained Anna and many other girls with Itako tallents had trained another person named Anna, who can be refered to as the Anna the I. Also even if you are right, i have hard time believing that Tamao can refered to as Anna II, so i stand with the decission to call Asakura Anna, Asakura Anna II, but i will keep this questioning in mind for the future. By the way, thank you for updating the Anna (III Generation Itako) article. --Gojita 21:17, September 27, 2009 (UTC)Gojita


 * Fair enough; my thoughts on Tamao are simply an opinion, nothing more. That being said, I stand by my stance that Kyoyama Anna should be Anna I; I suggest simply leaving her article as Asakura Anna as a compromise, since it has been her name for the entirety of the series anyway.

 * Finally read the Mandalite, and realised my mistake. It's not Anna III - It's Anna, III Generation Itako. Therefore, the correct phrase should be "First disciple of the First Anna", with the First Anna being Asakura Anna, II generation Itako. It should go without saying then, that Kino is the I generation Itako. In other words, the numbering refers to the generation of Itako. It also means that Asakura Anna's article should probably be moved back to its original place, since she is the Original Anna. I would propose that the current Anna III should be moved to article name: Anna (III Generation Itako). It may sound awkward, but there it is. I would also reiterate my suggestion to replace her image with the last page of Flowers, since it actually shows her face. Foolworm 05:06, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I will consider the change of profile image, but for know is the version given by Meo-Chan not in a enough good quality, sorry Meo-Chan. --Gojita 14:11, September 28, 2009 (UTC)Gojita
 * Don't worry about it~ But I agree that the image should be changed to one that actually shows her face, even if the quality isn't perfect. It can always be changed to something better later on. Meo-chan 18:00, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
