Luna-sensei explains the difference between henshin/henkei/henge

Post by takenoko »

[22:36] <Slyder5597> oh, both take and luna are here, which means there's 2 people who can answer this question: What's the difference between henshin, henkei, and henge?
[22:37] <MiniLuna> all of them hae the kanji 変 (to change)
[22:37] <MiniLuna> shin is body
[22:37] <MiniLuna> kei is form
[22:37] <takenoko> feel like henshin and henge are used the same way, henkei is like transforming with actually body twistings and distortions like mecha, these are just feeliings, not actual meanings
[22:38] <GundamGirl> ooh are we having a Japanese lesson
[22:38] <GundamGirl> :D
[22:38] <MiniLuna> ge is -ification
[22:38] <Slyder5597> was thinking about it earlier while watching a JP reviewer do a review of a 3rd party transformer
[22:39] <MiniLuna> you'd never say henshin for a mecha because it's not a body
[22:39] <takenoko> bod body body
[22:39] <takenoko> mr body
[22:39] <Slyder5597> which is why all transformers are henkei
[22:39] <Slyder5597> and why the full name of the Pteriden-Oh toy has henkei
[22:40] <Slyder5597> I get it now
[22:40] <Slyder5597> thanks
[22:40] <takenoko> (explain henge)
[22:40] <MiniLuna> and grateful form is henge cause it's changing form of all the eyecons, but there's no body
[22:40] <MiniLuna> (booyah)
[22:40] <takenoko> what about henge for ninjas?
[22:40] <takenoko> shuriken henge
[22:41] <MiniLuna> shurikens don't have bodies!
[22:41] <takenoko> yeah but the ninnningers do
[22:41] <takenoko> that was their transformation call
[22:41] <MiniLuna> shurikenification!
