Talk:Rasengan

Power
Ok so I remember seeing somewhere in an episode of Naruto Shippuden of the Rasengan's color changing and it was explained a few moments later that that can create it's power. Is this true?--SQR24 (talk) 03:06, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

Can you rephrase it please?--Elveonora (talk) 15:37, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

May have been referring to Wind Release: Rasengan. --Questionaredude (talk) 15:25, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

super odama rasengan

Disadvantages
I know someone will delete this if I don't explain it here first. In the anime rasengan has exploded twice. Once in Naruto episode 144 at about 7 minutes from the end and 16 minutes from the start when he tried to hit the Legendary Stupid Brothers with it. And again in Naruto Shippuden episode 234 at about 8:17 from the end and about 15:24 from the start when Konohamaru tried to hit Temari with it. So no one delete it.(Evilpuppy (talk) 03:24, May 6, 2013 (UTC))

What Studio Pierrot does with Rasengan is unbelievable, they parodied it enough as is. From him throwing it in Part I. to it not dealing any fatal damage when used on feminine or otherwise strange looking filler villains and as of late giant rasenshuriken which was clearly big wind release: rasengan, look at chidori/raiki too. But long story short, I don't think the "disadvantages" sub-section is necessary--Elveonora (talk) 10:15, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough (Evilpuppy (talk) 04:06, May 7, 2013 (UTC))

Parent vs Related
Minato based this technique off of the Tailed beast ball so shouldn't it be a parent value? (Evilpuppy (talk) 05:22, August 2, 2013 (UTC))


 * A parent technique is for when a technique is directly from another. For example, Shadow Clone Technique is the parent of Multiple Shadow Clones Technique. The Rasengan was designed off the principle of the Tailed Beast Ball, but not from it.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 11:22, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

Finally!
One-handed Rasengan (no clones or KCM) is now canon? --Questionaredude (talk) 06:53, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I feel with ya, but that belongs elsewhere ^_--Elveonora (talk) 10:51, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * He might have done it during invasion of Pain though. I don't recall clones in Gamabunta's mouth when he finished the Animal Path. He couldn't make more clones, otherwise he'd disrupt the ones at Myobokuzan. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:28, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind though that Naruto was in Sage Mode when he performed it. Blackchaos27 (talk) 01:51, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Same thing that happened in this week's chapter, and senjutsu chakra is harder to make than regular chakra. Balancing three energies instead of two. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:57, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Naruto hadn't exceeded his limit of Kage Bunshin when he finished off Animal Realm. As for this week's chapter, there was a short window of opportunity in which Naruto could have quickly made and dispersed a Kage Bunshin to form the Rasengan we see already completed on the following page. Basically, we have to see Naruto making a Rasengan with a single hand, not holding/attacking with an already completed one. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 07:47, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Why is it so hard to believe? It was a regular Rasengan. His chakra control must have improved greatly, even if an assumption, it's logical:


 * Sage Mode training, balance of 3 energies
 * Kurama's chakra no longer disrupt his own
 * Perfect chakra transfer technique etc. it's really not unbelievable. Minato can do it as well and Jiraiya even could form two Rasengans at once with 1 hand each--Elveonora (talk) 11:14, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Because it is an assumption that has been made numerous times in the past along with claims of improved chakra control, and proved false when Naruto finally made the statement of requiring a Kage Bunshin in Chapter 519. Before and after that point, there have been so many instances of fans hastily assuming that Naruto's finally able to form a Rasengan with a single hand based on sudden cuts to panels like this; panels of Naruto holding, or attacking with a completed Rasengan. This doesn't change anything. Wait until we see the guy forming one with a single hand in base, or Sage Mode before passing it off as canon. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 12:19, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

This is defiantly new, since Naruto needed a shadow clone to make a Rasengan all the way up to the final battle with the Deva Path. One clone made a Rasengan while the other threw him. Omega64 (talk) 13:07, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

So when exactly will there be enough evidence in the manga that he can use it with one hand? It feels like some ppl are waiting for Naruto to say, "Yes, I can finally use Rasengan with one hand!" or something. --Questionaredude (talk) 14:45, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think anyone is denying he just performed it with one hand, its just we are having trouble finding out when he finally accomplished it, if Sage Mode played a part, and if he can do it in base form now to. We just need to see more is all. Omega64 (talk) 14:49, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Er... I just denied it, two replies above. :P Naruto has only used it with one hand during his Jinchuuriki transformations, in which the Kyuubi chakra handles the work his additional hand(s) would have under normal circumstances. In "base", and Sage Mode, all claims of his ability to do so have been based on examples no different from what we saw in this week's chapter: cuts to panels of Naruto holding or attacking with a completed Rasengan. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 15:17, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

... Well. The word "selective" comes to mind for some reason. You guys really can't wait until we see him making one? —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 04:18, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you look at the page before he's holding the Rasengan, it appears he is still getting ready to go into Sage Mode. I'm pretty sure he did a 1-hand Rasengan on the next page. Even Sasuke (who's beside him) seems surprised to see him holding it. Joshbl56  13:33, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * All we can see is his grimace, prior to two panels in which Obito has enough time to wrap up his trash-talking, and Tobirama takes note of Naruto's Sage Mode—more than enough time for him to have quickly whipped up and dispersed a Kage Bunshin to assist with the Rasengan's Keitai Henka. Sasuke(and Minato) don't take notice of Naruto until he speaks up. Like I said before, this is no different from all the other prior instances in which readers have assumed that Naruto's made a Rasengan with a single hand, without the assistance of the Kyuubi's chakra. Do we really need another 519 to debunk all of this after the impression's already been made? Or do we simply wait until we get a clear view of Naruto actually forming a Rasengan with a single hand to definitively detail it as canon?


 * If you guys have become this leisurely with your policy on speculation, I'd be more than happy to start campaigning for the dōryoku of Sasuke's right Mangekyō Sharingan to be changed again, based on the evidence that's accumulated over the years. :P —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 16:24, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

We can wait I guess... if he indeed knows how to make it single-handely, he sure will do again in the future--Elveonora (talk) 16:25, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Update
I think this page could use some updating, don't you? Justin Holland (talk) 01:03, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * What is there to be updated?--Elveonora (talk) 14:15, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah not really specific there.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 14:17, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe Six Paths Sage Technique Influence, maybe? Justin Holland (talk) 00:30, August 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Why? WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 01:41, August 13, 2014 (UTC)

That's not an update though. We should consider upgrades only actual improvements to the concept of the technique, not added flavors.--Elveonora (talk) 10:49, August 13, 2014 (UTC)

Image change?
Is it okay if we change the infobox image to the Part II one? That other image is more up-close and it's already in use on Naruto's Rasengan section. We have two images of the same technique at up-close view, but I'd like to have the same one being used as both an infobox image and in a character's technique section. Doesn't really matter what image, but it can't be either or. SSJ2AJB 23:25, September 28, 2014 (UTC)

The Last
Naruto used a Fire Release: Rasengan in the movie.KiritoLevel96Alicization (talk) 16:25, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

"Orange"-Colored Rasengan
Just a nitpick of a trivia point in the article. It's actually yellow, as Naruto's chakra is yellow. See, in the manga Rasengan is yellow (well, Kishi has been known to switch between yellow and the anime's blue in color pictures), and this can be seen in some covers and WSJ digital colored editions. 698 is NOT the only time he has produced a Rasengan of that color in the manga. What the yellow/orange Rasengan in the movie can be attributed to is left to interpretation, but I think they were literally just trying to be closer to Kishimoto's intentions with its color. In any case, regardless of the movies, in the manga it is yellow because it is yellow, not because of Kurama. Make of that what you will. --ScruffyC (talk) 15:39, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * This. Naruto's default Rasengan is canonically yellow because his chakra is. It's orange when it's mixed with Kurama's chakra and mostly red when there's more of Kurama's chakra. Same shit with his cloak.--Elve Talk Page 20:17, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
 * The hell does the base color of the Rasengan have to do with it being movie one orange?--TheUltimate3 Eye of Rikudō.svg (talk) 21:18, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Wind Release
In the Boruto chapter, when Konohamaru seals his Rasengan into the scroll, the wind kanji appears. The hand sign he uses is a one-handed tatsu/dragon. I don't have the Zai no Sho available right now, but if that seal is shown to be the Wind Release seal, should we add that Konohamaru can imbue his Rasengan with Wind chakra? • Seelentau 愛 議 09:10, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * As I thought, it's the Wind Release seal. From my understanding, this means that Konohamaru's Rasengan was indeed connected to Wind Release... • Seelentau 愛 議 12:24, May 3, 2016 (UTC)
 * We should mention he can, but i think it's too early to say which wind rasengan variant he's a user of. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 14:41, May 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * So Konohamaru made a Wind Release: Rasengan but without the shurikin chakra blades?--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 15:10, May 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Not to be "That guy" but I think I should remark that this is a new artist and he could've just left the blades off as the Rasengan was half absorbed into the scroll after all. Having a new artist changes everything. Shock Dragoon (talk) 15:31, May 4, 2016 (UTC)
