Talk:Kid Gil/@comment-4372190-20160309235651/@comment-4372190-20160310011608

Actually the kanji  子 is usually kid/child when it's by itself and used as a noun. It only becomes the adjective small/little duirng 小さい. So Little Gil would become 小さいギル (chiisai giru) while 子ギル (ko giru) is literally child/kid Gil.

When it comes to using little, kid or child, I lean slightly towards using kid, since we're giving him a nickname. The japanese name is essentially a casual nickname. In this case I think 'Kid Gil' works better since it aren't 'Little Gilgamesh'.
