Talk:Li Xingke

Why is he referred to by his surname?

Due to the naming order in the Chinese language as well as several references to him by characters in the anime, I'm pretty sure Xingke is his given name and Li is his family name, so why is he constantly being referred to properly as "Li" and not "Xingke" in this article? 75.167.214.240 (talk) 07:56, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

"Son of Heaven"?

I think it isn't meant it.ShuanGrila (talk) 04:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Li refers to Tianzi (天子), the characters in Chinese for Heaven/Sky (Tian 天) and child (zi 子). It means "Son of Heaven" literally, but in actual use it refers to the Emperor. See Son of Heaven. erc ^{talk/contribs} 04:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

top physical condition?

The line: Li is in top physical condition and is exceptionally skilled in close combat, especially with swords. He is capable of drawing his blade, striking, and sheathing it without his victims perceiving the blade being drawn or Li moving. states that Li is in top physical condition, which obviously is not true due to a disease hindering him in battle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.248.27 (talk) 20:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Weapon?

If I know my Chinese swords right, then it appears that the weapon he uses is a Jian. Even if it is not mentioned, it should be assumed and put into the article that it at least resembles a Jian, and that it would be good reason to think this because the Jian is the most used sword in China. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.137.4.37 (talk) 02:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

A minor fix

I'm going to make it clear that Xingke is the Commander of the Black Knights. The sentences are a little vague as they are now. NinjaRooster (talk) 07:34, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Li Xingke Comparison to Suzaku and Lelouch???

In episode 10, wasn't Li Xingke's abilities compared to Tohdoh Kyoshiro and Lelouch not Suzaku? If I'm wrong please correct me --AKIRA70 (talk) 20:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Then I shall correct you. The comparison is to Suzaku. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 20:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
