Talk:Shinobi

Kunoichi
Kunoichi should had its own article along with Shinobi. --Cococrash11 (talk) 07:47, July 11, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11


 * There would be almost nothing unique to add. ~SnapperTo 18:51, July 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree, a kunoichi is nothing more or less than a female shinobi. It'd be ridiculous to create a new article for it. --ShounenSuki (talk 19:33, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Not necessary in Sakura and Ino's childhood teacher she taught them what a Kunoichi is supposed to do. --Cococrash11 (talk) 05:29, July 12, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11


 * So you would like an article that says "Kuniochi are identical to shinobi, only they are also taught to use their feminine wiles"? ~SnapperTo 07:49, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

If you guys aren't going to make a sperate article you might as well make a == == under the name Kunoichi saying what they do. But still having a Kunoichi would great. Surely some Naruto Data book might have saying more thing about Kunoichi.--Cococrash11 (talk) 07:55, July 12, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11


 * About the kunoichi class, the girls weren't taught to be kunoichi I that class, nor were they even taught how to use their "feminine wiles". They were actually taught how to be proper women, so they could pass for one as necessary. --ShounenSuki (talk 09:35, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

English Dub usage
The english dub does not differentiate as it will sometimes use Ninja and sometimes Shinobi. Maybe good to mention this somewhere on the article? --speysider (talk) 17:41, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Erm, they do so because they mean almost the same thing? I think the difference is small and doesn't effect characters in the series, since they both practice ninjutsu and (sometimes) carry out assassinations. Skitts (talk) 18:58, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

I know, but the article just states the dub only calls it Ninja. It doesn't state that both terms are used in the dub. --speysider (talk) 18:59, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Plural
This is an extremely stupid question, I know, but what would the plural be? Like if I had two shinobi, or two kunoichi, or a kunoichi and a shinobi. Would you just say nin or something? Please, humor me. 158.123.252.2 (talk) 19:50, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe if there's only kunoichi, kunoichi would be used. If there's at least one male, shinobi would be used. Kunoichi specifically refers to a female ninja, while shinobi is technically a gender neutral word. There are male shinobi and female shinobi. No such thing as a male kunoichi. That's how I understand it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:56, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Neither words change when they pluralise; one kunoichi, two kunoichi, a million kunoichi. The same goes for shinobi.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 06:11, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

Aliens
So, from what I've understood from the latest databook AND the latest movie ALL shinobies are descendants of Ōtsutsuki Clan, and we know Ōtsutsuki are aliens. That's how they gained chakra in the first way - because Hagoromo COULD share it with his own species. No "normal" human in Narutoverse could be shinobi, right?
