Talk:Obelisk the Tormentor (original)

Ruby text
The Ruby text in this card's name is wrong. The kana now say kiyoshinhei (きよしんへい), not kyoshinhei (きょしんへい). Look at the Japanese card for proof. I would be glad if an admin would fix this. Rainyday2012 01:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks for bringing this to our attention.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 01:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ruby text is broken, there is a stray &lt;ruby&gt; tag visible. Danny Lilithborne 21:08, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Resistance
The alternate lore is incomplete: Control of this card cannot switch. This card is unaffected by the effects of any spell and trap cards that do not designate a target and cannot be targeted by spell or trap card controlled by your opponent. This card is unaffected by the effects of any effect monsters that are level nine or lower. Any card effect that affects this card is negated at the end of the turn it was activated.--Dragonking 03:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Arabic Name
I wanted to add the Arabic name for this card, but since the page is locked I'll list it here. Obelisk the Tormentor (Arabic: العملاق المعذب) Translated: "The Tormenting Giant" Trivia: In the Arabic dub, this was the only Divine-Beast that wasn't referred to by its Proper name (unlike Slifer and Ra), simply titled "The Tormenting Giant" (العملاق المعذب) while never actually being called "Obelisk" -- Melik el-Al&#39;ab 19:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Italian Name
I cannot edit this card's main page, so i'll write it here. This card's italian name is "Obelisco del Tiranno". The correct english translation for it is "Tyrant's Obelisk". --Cercatesori 21:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Arabic Name Update
I'd like to request that the Arabic name be updated as follows: Old name = العملاق المعذب New name = العملاق المعذّب Change & Reason: Added extra (very small) character. Assists in pronunciation. The character is named "Shadda" for those who are interested. -- Melik el-Al&#39;ab 20:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Name Changed, thanks.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Normal or Effect?
Can I just ask if this card is really a Normal Monster or an Effect Monster, I mean, the real card here says a description like the normal cards but in many video games and anime, this card has an effect, so, is this really an effect monster or not? IF these cards are really normal, why are they illegal?--33royward 11:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC) Obelisk, Like all the other two Egyptiain Gods, Has an effect which is why they made a Legal, effect verison of it. And it is illegal because of its detecting colored backing, and because of argument over the effect. Conclusion, Buy the legal version :D

The True Way to defeat Obelisk (by battle)
I say there are only two cards that can beat it besides Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra.: The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and the Five-Headed Dragon.-- User:novafan365
 * You could also just equip a bunch of crap to a weenie monster and beat it like that. x_x Danny Lilithborne 03:26, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
