Spoiler Warning

edit
  What you are looking at is the discussion page for an article on BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad.
  Since it is a discussion page the rules are a little different from the main article pages
  and you may run into spoilers without warning.  Emry (talk) 09:01, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, anyone I'm new here, so I won't make any changes, (and my english s***) just make a remark: maybe the page can be marked with the "Spoiler" warning, I just read some things, which I didn't want to; and I don't know which is right, Sykes or Syke, but it's wrong the way it is Zaibolint 16:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I am not sure about the spellings; I have not gotten that far into the series. He has a point though, and ironically it is about the Sykes thing. There is too much info there, namely about the stolen guitar, and the kidnapping. These things may or may not be needed for a proper character intro, but if they are there, then a spoiler warning of some sort will be needed. Emry 06:57, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Spoilers

edit

How do we want to handle spoilers?

I suggest we trim it up (aka take out the spoilers that are not an absolute must), and then move any spoilers that have to be there towards the bottom of the page and mark them as spoilers. For instance, in the description of Ryuusuke, the entire last sentence is unneeded. There is no requirement to tell people that he stole the guitar. It is not integral to the readers understanding of the character. It is however a plot element that some people would consider fairly major later in the series. The line “Getting all the big breaks, Belle Ame seemed destined for greatness, until BECK destroyed their ride to fame, at the cost of being blacklisted in the music industry.” is not needed either. In fact, this is the worst spoiler possible. It would be just fine on a page devoted to an eppisode guide or a synopsis of the serries, but it is not good for a character list.

The information on Sykes and John Lee Davis should be cleaned up a bit, but I think that the spoiler template should be added to the sections holding those two and the animals. The two guys are far enough into the serries that there is no way to include them without spoilers, but we need to play damage control there. As for the animals, because of the role they play, they need to be included but again are spoiler magnets. Emry 07:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Out of Date

A lot of characters are missing and with not updated information. May I ask who considers themselves in charge of this page so I can get instructions on editing procedure? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazydragonboy (talkcontribs) 11:36, 29 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Some Edits

edit

I am making a few edits based on what people have discussed here and what seems like common sense. I may start making more additions in the neer future once I have a chance to get caught up a bit. The following stuff was removed because it has no place in a basic character description. Good rule of thumbs, if you cannot get the information off of the back cover of the first few volumes, it probably doesn't belong in the description. We want to give an idea of who the characters are, without giving away the story line. We are describing the serries, not rewriting it. Emry (talk) 08:59, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

From the description of Ryûsuke:

- A once-younger Ryûsuke Eddie Lee stole Lucille (Prudence in the English adaptation) from the trunk of Leon Sykes' vehicle. His other guitars include a Gibson L-48 Acoustic and a Gibson Les Paul Custom.
+ He has a few guitars including a Gibson L-48 Acoustic, a Gibson Les Paul Custom, and the mysterious Lucille.

Maho:

-However, after Grateful Sound she somewhat clearly expresses her feelings. She leaves to study film abroad.

Taira:

-As the story progresses, we learn that his father was a jazz musician that left him and his mother when he was young.

Chiba:

-, and felt secluded from the other band members when he did not see the dream of the dead musicians at Grateful Sound as the rest of the band did.
-; at the time, Chiba was dissatisfied (because all of Ryûsuke's suggestions were centered around himself). He later tries to verify his position within the band.

Eiji:

- Getting all the big breaks, Belle Ame seemed destined for greatness, until BECK destroyed their ride to fame, at the cost of being blacklisted in the music industry. His chief guitar is the Fender Stratocaster.

Eddie:

- It is while they are growing up (and carjacking) that Eddie helped him find Beck (the seemingly patchwork dog) and the Lucille owned by Sykes.

Matt Reed:

- He becomes extremely depressed when Eddie dies.


Sykes:

- Sykes is also the original owner of Beck and Lucille, both of which he takes back from Ryûsuke violently after kidnapping him. He desires to kill many for the sake of gaining profit; this is known when John Lee Davis and Sykes have a discussion on whether Leon killed a popular diva star, Erika Blige. Ultimately, Leon mentions, "Yeah. That's right. I do kill for money. But I don't just murder people for no reason."

John Lee Davis:

-It is revealed in the story that he was Sonny Boy's pupil and Lucille was bequeathed to him.
-, it is due to his intervention (after recognizing Ryûsuke's talent) that Ryûsuke narrowly escapes being killed by Leon.

Morozumi:

-for Maho's affections, often subjecting him to ridicule. He later joins Belle Ame on stage at Greatful Sound.

Masuoka:

-, attending the Greatful Sound concert and other performances. She and Saku develop a relationship.
