Talk:Taishi Ci

In his bio it says that he uses twin whips in all his appearances except dynasty warriors 6, are they actually whips? I thought that they were rods, i may be wrong but it just doesn't seem quite right to me. 208.90.83.254 03:41, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * The original names for his weapons are "iron whips", which is a type of instrument for punishment reportedly used in older periods of China. Of course, the DW series is a little inaccurate with its depiction of these whips, but it's fine since it's just a video game. If you have ever read/seen Souten Koro (episode three or four I think in the anime adaption), Cao Cao and his followers demonstrate an exaggerated case when one of these whips are used. It's just that since it doesn't look like a whip (a la Indiana Jones), many English translations identify the weapon as "rods" to avoid confusion. Some martial arts enthusiasts will collect lighter, simpler versions of these whips and may even call them "rods" as well.


 * If you're wondering, the older versions of Huang Gai, Xiahou Yuan, and any other "rod" carrying characters which I may have forgotten at the moment have the same type of weapon. Sake neko 14:31, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
