It is excluded that the story takes places 14 years after the plot of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin / Silver Fang. Ben and other old dogs are still alive in the story, when they were not young even in the antecedent story either. Dogs do not live 20-25 years, I am convinced that something has been misinterpreted as for years.i the mang it was only 2 years
THIS IS THE PROOF FOR THE DOG BREEDS http://www.geocities.com/lisaferret/wikipekidaPROOFjpeg.jpg I'm sorry if you don't understand Japanese; ask someone to read it for you.
This is confirmed.
I can try and scan pages from my Japanese dog book that has the kanji, as well as English translations of the names if needed. The above scan is not mine, but I've got a book on different breeds that has the English translations of various breed names. The breeds are all correct. Yougurt, from GingaSite, also knows this, and the 'Sakura as Akita' is another rumor started by the fanbase, same as the rumor that Weed's siblings 'Joo' ('Joe', actually) was a female, as well as the Moss-Ben connection. HarukoZuko 20:39, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, Foxpen. I'm (Mizzkie) the one who took the pics from the official book that has the breeds of Sakura, Smith, Reika, Blue, Hiro, etc, but I forgot(actually I didn't know how) to sign my name on it. As for the site you mentioned, I took a look at it, and it had very many errors (ex:Kagetora's brother is NOT called Hentai *blinks*) so I wouldn't trust it. After all, it's a FANsite, not official. It's not wise to believe everything on a fansite unless they are using official information given to us by Takahashi-sensei and/or books/manga/anime.
But yes, that site is in no way trustable. ( Foxpen 01:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC))
I looked, but I also have an art book that clearly states that Hiro is a Saint Bernard, in ENGLISH, and Yougurt, owner of GingaSite.net, has that book you have as well, and her translators, which are making translations of the manga as we speak, say that's not what it says. On the GingaSite character list, they are listed as the breeds I put down. DameGreyWulf
Here is a picture that proves Hiro is a Saint Bernard. You can barely make it out, so typed it out for you. ( Picture scanned by p3ntavus) And it is stated in the manga that Smith is an English Setter. There's no two ways about it. DameGreyWulf
Hiro: I have that book too. Those breed errors annoys me. Smith: Excuse me; where in the manga? What volume (I only have the first edition), and what page? I don't remember Smith's breed being mentioned. MIZZKIE 07:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
"I can confirm that foxpen's picture calls Hiro a Great Pyranees. So yeah, the art book is wrong. O_O Blame it on the printers. It also calls Blue a Beauceron; Blue does not look like one of these, and they are very rare outside of France, but that is what the kanji says, and so we have to take Takahashi's word for it. So let's all shut up about the breeds now."

Who exactly decides what these issues are, anyway? Is the plot summary really that long? How does it need an "expert?" And...what cleanup does it need? Zekiw ( talk) 01:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I've fixed the article name, as someone inappropriately renamed it in December. This particular Ginga series was licensed by the now defunct ComicsOne, and three volumes released. Per the MOS, the article should use the official English name, which is Ginga Legend Weed. AnmaFinotera ( talk) 03:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I think we should make a seperate article for the anime and manga. They are quite different in storyline and characters, and trying to push the two together makes it confusing and messy. As a bonus, we could add more about the production process. -- DameGreyWulf ( talk) 05:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Jaguar is listed under the manga-only character section. However, doesn't he appear in the anime as well (albeit he has no speaking parts). I believe it is Jaguar who accompanies Moss in episode 18 of the anime. Wolface ( talk) 04:11, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
_______________________________________ this goes along with the jaguar thing. the charter dosn't talk and is not important to the story. rember wilson from the old GNG serese? is he in Gingas densetsu weed? in one epasode when there taking to rocket about why the old man "carl" took off if you look behind weeds head you can see a collie. wilson was a collie. the collie appered in one other epasode but remanded nameless. what i'm wondering is, is that collie wilson?
I think we're assuming that's NOT Wilson, because if it were, I imagine someone would have said something, like 'loldude I knew your father,' as every other old dog did. Zekiw ( talk) 16:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
GDWO is a different series, and that's that. You don't go merging GDW with GNG, do you. - Nawulf ( talk) 15:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
No it shouldn't. They are both a completely different series. The characters may be the same but the plots are different and new characters are added as with GNG. Ratkinzluver33 ( talk) 22:02, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

The merge tag has been in place for awhile, and I feel it's finally time to settle it. I personally will vote Merge. The manga has not been released outside of Japan (that I'm aware of; perhaps Taiwan has it) and carries little merit at this point. While the Ginga Legend Weed article has some reception (and I'm in the process of finding more), GDWO has absolutely none. Seeing as this article can carry the sequel without problem, I don't see the need for two articles. WhiteArcticWolf ( talk) 00:05, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
"Takahashi began serializing Ginga Legend Riki (銀牙伝説リキ?, lit. Silver Fang Legend Riki), a prequel to Ginga Legend Weed and Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin, in the Weed-centric magazine Weed World, published by Nihon Bungeisha.[citation needed]" What kind of citation is needed there? I have the Weed World magazines so I could help. - Nikukei ( talk) 18:14, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

This page should be renamed to "Ginga Densetsu Weed". My reasoning? Because "densetsu" (伝説) is an actual word in Japanese, written in Kanji, and not a Katakana transliteration of the English word "legend". "Ginga" (銀牙) means "Silver Fang", so having it in the article's title but not "densetsu" is inconsistent. The title should either be "Ginga Densetsu Weed" or "Silver Fang Legend Weed".
