Talk:Maki

Kazekage Rescue Arc
I found her at the color page for chapter 270, but she's not in the corresponding episodes in Shippuden, as far as I could see. I'm looking through episodes preceding the one corresponding chapter 270. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:40, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Found her. Episode 12, about 5:40 into the episode at crunchyroll. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:47, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * nice find! --Cerez365 (talk) 18:23, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just looked for her after ShounenSuki (surprise, surprise) changed her manga debut to chapter 270. I just confirmed and asked for help to find her anime debut. The animators changed her placement in the anime. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:18, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Maki vs. Aki
Are you sure they aren't two different people with a similar appearance? Yatanogarasu 00:26, January 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's really unlikely. The Japanese looks almost identical for the two names, so someone probably made a mistake somewhere along the line. ~SnapperTo 07:34, January 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think Kishimoto-sama just made a mistake with the kanji, and is the same person. Both are very similar: Aki (アキ) and Maki (マキ). Maki is prefer as it is the original name. --Leodix/My Talk/Contributions''' 07:38, January 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I sincerely doubt Kishimoto-sensei does his own typesetting. That said, it's clear this was just a simple mistake. It is most likely that Maki is the real name, so we should just go with that and mention the other name in the trivia. You know, as things are now. —ShounenSuki (talk 16:06, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Elite
A while back a citation was needed for Maki being mentioned as an elite shinobi of Sunagakure. While I'm not sure what it says in Japanese, in episode 21 Kakurō is subtitled to have said "...You can't expect any more, even from the most elite shinobi." --Cerez☻ 19:43, March 21, 2011 (UTC)
