::I added the brackets to stress how these pronouns are missing in Japanese, you need to guess them by the context. Honestly, going by the Japanese text, there's no particular evidence that there is more than one ''Raidon Bus'', the others are just referred to as ''statues''. It's interesting to note how the ''Raidon Ruins'' are not named ''Raidon Bus Ruins'', leading to a difference between ''Raidon'' and ''Raidon Bus'' that is lost in translation.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:02, December 17, 2020 (EST) | ::I added the brackets to stress how these pronouns are missing in Japanese, you need to guess them by the context.

:::Is this matter fully resolved or still up for discussion? I replayed ''Super Mario Odyssey'' very recently. While I am unsure if it is necessary to maintain the split, and it apparent that the stone statues are his kin, the game strongly presents the rideable "Jaxi" as an individual, and I think when covering a topic on the wiki, the source material should be prioritized over external references. For this specific case, I'd hesitate to fully trust the English edition of ''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey'' because, unlike the Japanese release, the book was not closely overseen by Nintendo so it can be a situation where topics were misinterpreted without overseeing clarification from what the developers intended (i.e. it is {{wp|paratext}}). The article as written still describes Jaxi as if there are multiple and this is something I think should be resolved. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 00:52, April 12, 2021 (EDT) | |||
