Talk:Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets

Human Puppets?
Is there any proof of the puppets used in this technique being human puppets? --ShounenSuki (talk 10:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't recall him mentioning it, also I don't recall any of them using jutsu/chakra. So probably not... Simant (talk) 15:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it was just an assumption. If he has 298 human puppets (or perhaps puppets in general?), why would he use only one of them while fighting Sakura and Chiyo? ~SnapperTo 19:41, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't recall him ever having said he has 298 human puppets... The Third Kazekage is the only human puppet we are sure of, I think. --ShounenSuki (talk 20:08, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Well, he said at the beginning of the battle that when he killed Chiyo and Sakura, he would have exactly 300 human puppets. So yeah, he had 298 Your mine! Fireball Jutsu! 00:26, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hey in the minute 16 right after a puppet hurt Chiyo it showed one of Sasoris puppets had the sharingan
 * Yeah, I added that, but some ass reverted the edit. I'm gonna fix it again. They think they're smarter than the real facts.
 * I actually have seen TWO with the eyes. It appears to be the same scene with the puppets in it changed up. The sharingan one has the most obvious differences, one other puppet is slightly changed, and the third, that I can remember, looks the same. The first sharingan has a nose ring and loose, mohawk like hair. The other has short hair and a beard. They both have violet hair. --Ikazuchi Komori (talk) 01:04, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

There are 3 with the sharingain Maybe some of them are human puppets and some is just normal puupets DEIDARA (talk) 14:13, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Three? Really? Hmmmm, I'm gonna have to review the episode now. I'm curious what the other one looks like. Thanks for the correction. I think you are right about a mixture of human and regular puppets.--68.159.196.205 (talk) 23:24, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

I still think we should upload an image. Cda081799 (talk) 21:58, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to answer to a three year old thread, but I do think that it can be argued that these (or at least some of them) are human puppets, based on one feature which may very well be a technique performed by one of the puppets in chapter 273 page 4, second and third panel. We'll clearly see that the "saw-sword" wielded by the puppet isn't metal by the way it is destroyed or evaporates/splashes, it's even more obvious in the anime Puppet Fight: 10 vs 100! where it's visibly made of purple energy. I think it's chakra and to utilize that, the puppet in question would have to be of the human variety.--Tzao (talk) 21:12, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * Or it was simply Chiyo's chakra.--Elve Talk Page 21:17, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe he was referring to Sasori's puppet.
 * But the explanation still works. If the sword is indeed made of chakra, it could very easily be Sasori's, not the puppet's. ~SnapperTo 23:20, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

Image
I think this is one of those times where manga image is preferable. - S im A nt 09:53, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mutant 16 uploaded an almost exact anime match of the current manga image, with the focus on the strings connecting Sasori to his puppets. That was the argument to keep the manga image, so can we change to the anime one? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:39, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was? I removed anime image because its quality was terrible. The manga image was far clearer and actually showed the features of the individual puppets. --ShounenSuki (talk 23:50, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I remember something along those lines being said. Anyway, is the image above better than the previous anime image? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:53, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say it is the same quality as the previous image. Mostly animators just slacked off at counting and drawing individual puppets. S im A nt 00:13, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call it slacking off in this case. There's a fundamental difference between drawing for anime and drawing for manga. Anime images are simply not meant to be watched as still frames. Drawing features for each and every puppet, while the image won't be seen for longer than a second or two is simply ridiculous.
 * That doesn't explain the blurriness, though. --ShounenSuki (talk 00:17, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Scorpion
I'm adding the puppet annotation to Sasori in this technique, since it depends on the modification made to the puppet, allowing him to spin that many chakra threads. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 05:11, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
