Talk:Desert: Hand/Archive 1

Chapter 60
It wasn't used in that chapter o.ô Seelentau 愛議 18:54, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gaara's not in that chapter o.o--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 19:12, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah yeah, chapter 59 it is. There are sand hands, yes. But they can't be compared to this jutsu at all. Seelentau 愛議 20:42, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

Soo? Seelentau 愛議 18:55, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * The only other instances of sand hands I can recall are when Gaara was half transformed and pinned Sakura to a wall, and when Gaara made giant sand hands against Deidara in early part 2, but I think they looked more like Shukaku's claws than human hands. Even some of the juinjutsu pattern if I'm not mistaken. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:09, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, they all had the pattern, so they were a tailed beast skill. This is Gaara's jutsu alone. Seelentau 愛議 22:12, December 27, 2013 (UTC)

Therefore the infobox is wrong and we are talking about different techniques--Elveonora (talk) 22:29, December 27, 2013 (UTC)

Anime image
As long as this technique did make an appearance in the anime (Naruto Episode #34). Can someone upload a good image for it? — Shakhmoot  (Talk) 20:01, December 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * There haven't been any good shots of it that I've seen so far. I've been searching to make an upload request but the hands seem to not be defined before his fight with his father.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 20:05, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

Correct name
I'm not entirely sure that it's Desert: Hand and not Desert Hand, so it would be nice if I could get some more opinions on that. Would you say the ・ in the manga is part of the name or part of Shukaku's Juin pattern? Seelentau 愛議 14:03, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw the ・, but I don't understand how that would be part of the Juin pattern. We're still ways away from it, but for some reason, I think Kishimoto began using that for breaks in general. We also have it in Rinbo Hengoku, even though it doesn't seem necessary. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:36, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * What I meant is that the ・ could be either part of the name or part of the background, where Shukaku's body is. Interpoints are used in Japanese to separate non-Japanese words, such as フランクフルト・アム・マイン Frankfurt am Main, but can also be used as a hyphen, a dash or a colon (among other uses). We "translate" it as a colon in technique names. Seelentau 愛議 15:09, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's what you mean. I'd say it's definitely part of the name. You can sort of tell that it has the some sort of "white border" around it as the rest of the name. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:30, January 7, 2014 (UTC)
