Tag Alias: god_finger / burning_finger -> shining_finger

Alias:
god_finger -> shining_finger
burning_finger -> shining_finger

Edit:
darkness_finger -> shining_finger

Reason:
Shining finger is only tagged on 33 pictures, so it wouldn't be tough to create a separate tag for the different attack and edit it in. But the hand gesture for both can be too similar to distinguish, so I think aliasing god_finger to shining_finger would be the best course of action.

Burning finger is the translation used in the english dub, and most people are probably more familiar with it. Not sure if that warrants an alias or not.

Edit: If burning finger gets an alias, then I suppose burning_gundam should get an alias to god_gundam as well.

Well I have seen Shining/God Finger parodied so I guess it's taggable.

Would this tag be used for depictions of the actual technique (post #553378) or of Domon's pre-technique speech (post #106307) or both?

Also, I believe Destiny Gundam's palm cannon is unique enough to exclude it from the tag.

Absofrigginlutely.

I think using it for both the move itself and the hand gesture is fine. The speech is distinctive enough that it fits in as well.

I have to defer to others here, knowing nothing about this. So darkness, burning, and god are ALL commonly used names for the exact same thing?

God Finger and Burning Finger are the same thing (God Gundam became Burning Gundam in the dub).

Shining, God/Burning and Darkness Fingers are essentially the same move, but used by different Gundams, but especially for Shining and God/Burning, the differences are mostly cosmetic.

I think that its probably more useful to group them under a single tag, since they are generally used in parody, then to try to be more accurate about it.

tl;dr alias them all to shining, the differences are minor enough to not really matter.

Okay, did:
god_finger -> shining_finger
burning_finger -> shining_finger
darkness_finger -> shining_finger
burning_gundam -> god_gundam

Should mecha like Destiny Gundam and Guren Nishiki be tagged with Shining Finger when they aren't directly imitating or parodying the Shining Finger?

No.
