What is the most correct translation of “nyoi bō” (如意棒), “compliant pole” or “mind stick”?


The _nyoi b­ō_ is the power pole Goku uses to extend it at will and connects
Korin Tower to Kami's Lookout.




The 如意棒{にょいぼう} (short for 如意金箍棒{にょいきんこぼう}) is the name of 孫悟空{そんごくう}'s staff
from the Chinese folktale 西遊記{さいゆうき}, known in English as _Journey to the
West_ , which is the inspiration for the Dragon Ball series. The staff itself
has an English Wikipedia article on it
[here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruyi_Jingu_Bang), and the name is often
translated as "Power Pole" in English-language Dragon Ball media.
