Talk:Hidden Kunai Mechanism

Madara
In 501, did he use this or did the kunai just come from inside his sleeve? I see something there, but it could be lines to show movement instead of the wire. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:32, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * it's a wire. S im A nt 23:42, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nix. I thought of that, but you do not see the wire afterwards, plus in 500 he had his sleeve to far back to conceal any weapons. Looks more (yes I know it sounds obsessive) Summoning: Kunai Knife. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 01:20, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * We don't know how far along the arm the mechanism is. We never saw it entirely, just the kunai and the wire. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:22, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Edit Conflict* You can see a thick line. Also, no one said that the wire could not detach from its launcher/mechanism. S im A nt  01:24, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Some might find being able to throw the knife by detaching the wire okay, but then why have the wire in the first place?
 * There is apparently a limit to how far you can have the launcher and still activate it (wrist muscles or something), and since it is a weapon made for stealth and speedy use, the closer it is to the wrist the faster it can be used (and yes milliseconds could make a difference)
 * Not entirely sure if those wires actually movement lines (could go either way I admit). Thomas Finlayson (talk) 02:49, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Jiraiya
Jiraiya used something similar to this in the most recent anime episode, when he was hanging off of the bottom of a bridge. Should he be added? I wasn't sure because I'm not sure if it'd need to be spring-loaded to count. Skitts (talk) 23:29, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Ability
Isn't this technique sort of similar to how Hanzo Hasashi, a.k.a. Scorpion, does it from Mortal Kombat? I mean, the kunai is hidden within the sleeve or anything that conceals the ninjas' bottom forearm(s) while launching the kunai that is spring-loaded.
