Talk:Yuri the Hand

Yuri's "Move like the wind. Strike like thunder." is likely a reference to Muhammad Ali's famous quote "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". Could someone add this as my wiki skillz are limited? ^^ --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:81.235.252.183 .

It's also very likely it's simply a reference to Feudal Japanese warrior credos. Compareing oneself to the elements was - and still is - a good way to show one's strengths. The ancient motto "Furinkazan" is a good example of this, it basically translates to "Wind-Forest-Fire-Mountain", meaning "move swiftly like the wind - stay quiet like the forest - attack fiercely like fire - be steady like the mountain". While it's also probable as a reference to Muhammad Ali, it's also a very common credo in feudal Japan or China. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 22:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Whats with the Trivia? I know some people love trivia but it seems so unrelated to me. Even Jirouji's seem more related. RadaArashi 21:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to remove it, personally. I don't think the mere act of comparing oneself to things makes you Muhammad Ali. If Yuri said "Float like a cloud, sting like thunder", that would be a different story, but it's nothing like it as it is. -- Jïörüjï Ðērākō.>.cнаt^ 21:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

It's that he's comparing himself to something light and agile, then something powerful and deadly, not just that he's comparing things in general.75.45.94.46 00:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

What about Yimmy the Hand, a character of some fantasy books written by Raymond E. Feist? 85.144.149.13 18:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

There's also Hugh the Hand, who is also an assassin, from Weiss and Hickman's Death Gate Cycle series. -Ninjatek 15:14, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Ew...

Am I the only one who thinks this guy has the most disturbing name out of any NPC in Guild Wars? --Aldarik 02:12, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I think Corsair Seaman and General Kumtash disagree. 24.233.254.51 06:47, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Ghost

When I first saw this NPC's face on my guild hall first thing that came on my mind was: Ghost from Modern warfare 2...he have almost the same face,using a skull balaclava and all...O_o 189.46.245.29 03:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
