Tenten
When she used a sword?--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:34, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe it was that time she was fighting her doppelganger--Cerez365 (talk) 20:37, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * In anime?--LeafShinobi (talk) 11:55, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think one can be seen in the background in chapter 265 page 3 and chapter 277 page 12. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 12:53, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks.--LeafShinobi (talk) 16:23, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Chiyo
Should she be listed as a user? Her "Mother" puppet carried a sword.--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:34, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * The puppet and Chiyo aren't the same person--Cerez365 (talk) 20:37, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks.--LeafShinobi (talk) 11:56, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Mū
So the weapons he carried in the past was swords or not?--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:53, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think they're swords. I think it's less speculative to think that they're swords to think that they're not swords. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:00, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * So he still should be as a user?--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:18, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, yes. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:26, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks.--LeafShinobi (talk) 11:56, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Debut
The first sword we saw (at least in manga) was Kubikiribōchō. Should its debut be also sword's debut in tjis article?--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:31, March 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Didn't the demon brothers use a sword or blade attached to chains when they attacked Team 7? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:02, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Naruto
Which game he use it in?--LeafShinobi (talk) 22:15, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

it was a game called naruto and the dragon blade chronicles or something like that it was for wii
 * So he did he use only Dragon Blade?--LeafShinobi (talk) 19:50, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Image
The image should be changed IMO, B uses the same swords in the current image but he won't be listed as a user.  ~ Fmakck© (Images 01:32, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Find a decent one to replace it then. Though, he's only not listed because his swords have a name, doesn't not make them swords though.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 01:44, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll actually be going on the computer less and less because I'm actually moving this month overseas, so I don't have much time on the computer anymore. I'll try to find one in my free time or if some one else wants to put one up that's also fine.  ~ Fmakck© (Images 02:01, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ossu~. Safe travels meng.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 02:08, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hashirama
His statue in Valley of the End has a sword but is it enough for listing him as a user??--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:28, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, it could just be decorative. I thought he used them from this image that he did use swords but that can go either way.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 21:40, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

Oro?
I'm assuming that it has been simply overlooked that Oro and Sasuke use swords. Or is it because they use a particular sword? Skitts (talk) 17:03, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * People that use swords with names aren't listed here.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:04, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Wielders
The list of wielders here is ridiculous. Dontcha think swords should be treated like kunai and shuriken by not bothering to list "users"? ~SnapperTo 06:32, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I do think the list is getting a bit long but I disagree with treating it like a generic tool because it isn't. People generally opt to learn to use kenjutsu, so I think their use of a sword should be mentioned. Maybe if there was a way to make the list shorter and possibly only show the "canon" users of the weapon, sort of like how video game and movie techniques aren't shown in infoboxes?--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 08:29, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Part of the problem is that people are taking the word "wielder" too literally. If a character uses a sword in one chapter, they're a wielder. If a character is seen with a sword strapped to their back, they're a wielder. The real question people should ask themselves is, "Do we want a sword to be listed in the character's infobox?" I would argue that the answer should be "no" for the vast majority of these characters.
 * Failing that, don't list via the infobox. Put a bunch of  at the bottom of the page so that swords get listed in the character's infobox but the character isn't listed in this article. ~SnapperTo 21:59, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Given how this is a ninja world where they rely more on kunai and shuriken, than with swords, i also don't agree in listing them as genreic tools..and being a wielder is to be taken literally. That being said, the list is very big and maybe it should be cut down to how Cerez-sempai said to canon users, given how they over add users in the anime, etc, etc. Darksusanoo (talk) 22:13, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Eliminating all of the anime users isn't going to make the list any more manageable because there are still too many manga users whose only usage of a sword is carrying one. And that does not strike me as significant enough to bother listing them. Do what's done with kunai: Toroi makes significant usage of kunai, so he gets listed. Omoi makes significant usage of swords, so he gets listed. Mu is only seen with a sword on one occasion, so he does not get listed. This should be the guiding principle for all items. ~SnapperTo 22:43, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * By that principle, jutsu users should be aswell, since they use most techniques only once...unlike with kunai and shuriken that even the most basic ninja can use, kenjutsu is a speciality set, which means that if they use/carry blades, it means they received a certain amount of training for it, which makes it notable, much like users who base their fighting styles around the generic tools like kunai and shuriken...the fact is is we start to remove tools/techniques because some were used only once, the characters infoboxes will get very short very quickly...just because we only see one usage doesn't mean it's not significant...by that matter before we saw Madara using his gunbai in recent chapters, we shouldn't have him listed as user since we only saw him using it on one or two flashback pics, and turned out to be his signature weapon. Darksusanoo (talk) 22:53, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * But we do have that principle with jutsu. There are too many characters who have used Body Flicker Technique, so only special cases are listed. Too many characters have used swords, so only special cases should be listed. And it's not as though the infobox is the only way of informing readers that a character may or may not use swords. From Mu's article: "He also carried two swords strapped to his back which had slender handles and were also bandaged;" "While alive, he carried a pair of what resembles swords wrapped up in bandages."
 * As I said, if you don't want to remove each and every person, at least suppress the list that appears in this article. ~SnapperTo 23:04, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * So then remove anime, movie and game users from it, but let it stay in a way that still appears in the actual characters infobox and it should lessen a lot. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:30, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
