:*I like to think of it is a play on words, like it's -chan like the honorific, -chan like Chandler, and Chris-chan sounds kinda like "Christian." I'm asking though if Chris uses "Chris-Chan" in the comics since I don't feel like double checking the comics to see if he consistently uses Chris-Chan. --[[User:Champthom|Champthom]] 22:01, 26 September 2009 (CEST) | :*I like to think of it is a play on words, like it's -chan like the honorific, -chan like Chandler, and Chris-chan sounds kinda like "Christian."

*Really? I always thought he got the -chan from Megan because she was weeaboo too (he calls her Meg-chan in the comics, etc). I guess the best way to find out if it should be Chan or chan is just to find out how he started using it, or just ask him which one he uses.

==Chris-Chan Sonichu and even MORE Ripoffs== | |||
Wow, haven't done this in ages, but I wanted to mention something I've come to realize about Chris-Chan Sonichu. CCS's weakness - striking the Sonichu marking on his chest - is most likely ripped off from two franchises ''again'' - Power Rangers and Sailor Moon. Power Rangers is a given - in season two, we're introduced to the Z-Putties, Lord Zedd's Putty Patrollers, who's main weakness was the Z Plate on their chest, which would destroy them when struck. However, Sailor Moon might be a kind of a stretch - at least two seasons had the main heroine's transformation brooch damaged or destroyed, forcing her to revert back to her normal self (the movies just had her costume explode into the usual ribbons instead). | |||
Since we know Chris was a major MMPR fan back in the day and by the time he started drawing Sonichu, he was infatuated with Sailor Moon, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that those two were inspirations. Just my two cents here.--[[User:Blazer|Blazer]] 22:11, 8 July 2011 (PDT) | |||
Revision as of 01:11, 9 July 2011
To do
- image of Chris-chan Sonichu
- comparison of Sonichu to Chris-chan Sonichu
- how this is just a Mary Sue for Chris in the comic
- how Chris-chan Sonichu outstaged Sonichu for some time
- first appearance in comics
Maybe we should include how turning into a furfag, or anythingfor that matter, would be extremely painful. Extremely. --gourmetpickle
Chris-Chan or Chris-chan?
Which is it? I believe I moved this to Chris-chan Sonichu in my more vunerable days as an editor, when the CWCki was just starting. Does Chris use Chris-Chan? --Champthom 16:27, 26 September 2009 (CEST)
- The Wiki page on Japanese honorifics indicates that the -chan should be lowercase. Technically, we're correct in using 'Chris-chan', although he might be fucking it up and using -Chan, it's hard to tell in his comics as they're written in ALLCAPS. SirCucumber 17:50, 26 September 2009 (CEST)
- But Chris isn't really using it as a Japanese suffix, he's using it as an abbreviation of his last name (Chandler), witch would make Chris-Chan the right way to spell it. I'd move it again... RachmaninovDESU 20:19, 26 September 2009 (CEST)
