Talk:Shinoa Hīragi

Shinoa's Demon Weapon
There is a rough fan translation floating around online stating that Shinoa wields a Black Demon. However, in chapter 25 of the Vampire Reign manga series, Shinya states that Shinoa Squad has only three Black Demons. The three users, in that case, are only Shiho Kimizuki, Yoichi, and Yu. Shinya knows Shinoa pretty well, so he would be aware if she had a Black Demon. If it were four, then Shinoa having one would be plausible, but this is not the case.

Additionally, Shinoa's weapon is far weaker than Yoichi's despite the fact that they are both manifestation types and Shinoa has bonded with hers since before the Apocalypse even began. If the weapons had the same ranking, Shinoa would be far more capable than he.

Given all of this, I believe that unofficial fan-made translation is most likely incorrect.

On another note, she stands perfectly fine and dandy when Guren tests the class in chapter 6, so she should be perfectly -capable- of wielding a Black Demon. She just uses Shikama Doji instead.ResidentialPsycho (talk) 16:26, December 30, 2015 (UTC)
