Nakama was renamed True Companions. But it's not a philosophy, it's a type of group relationship. It's a circle of friends who are as close as family. Moving to discussion. Please see How To Write An Example.

- No one is acting like a jerk. Linking to How To Write An Example when dealing with a Zero Context Example is customary when cleaning renamed tropes. Camacan was following standard TV Tropes procedure.
- The context of the book is not given in the example. It is a Zero Context Example and thus bad. The person doing the cleaning does not have omnipresent cultural knowledge, nor does any reader. The example needs to provide the information.
In fact, this page is rather poorly written. It's full of Zero Context Examples not explaining any of the tropes.

About the compass thing: the needle just aligns itself to the north-south axis, so whether it points north or south really just depends on which side of it is painted. In China, compasses are actually called south-pointing needles, though I don't know if they use ones with north-pointing indicators now.
