Talk:Body Coating

Needed
IS this really a technique needed? It is unique to black zetsu and really can be detailed on his page. Just Wondering. --J spencer93 (talk) 20:14, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't oppose this article, but I don't think "merging" is the right term used. To me, it appears to be rather "covering" or "overlapping" than "merging". It should also have its debut when Zetsu himself debuted as we now know that BZ was always just attached to WZ or at least one half of WZ. Norleon (talk) 20:43, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not sure if debut of Zetsu would be debut of this. Out of universe, yes, but in-universe chronologically it would be when Madara "created" him, so shrugs--Elveonora (talk) 21:03, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the first time he "used" that technique chronologically, but debut means we list the first instance we see the technique. Chidori was created long before Sasuke was even born, yet the debut of the technique is Chapter 113. Norleon (talk) 21:06, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Makes sense--Elveonora (talk) 21:49, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Bumping my doubts about the term "merging". Norleon (talk) 10:06, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Overruled. He's merging with their bodies. We don't need to get into a pissing match over terms used. It was also named to follow the pattern of the White Zetsu Merging Technique. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 17:17, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

That argument is far away from convincing me, but whatever. Shall we at least have one last discussion about the debut of the episode? Technically, he sticks to White Zetsu all the time, hence, he's always using it. So logically, we first see him using it when Zetsu debuts as well. Norleon (talk) 18:30, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Bump. Norleon (talk) 14:18, June 29, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd say go ahead and change it, the debut is general Zetsu's debut. Chidori's example explains it. Faust-RSI (talk) 21:06, June 29, 2014 (UTC)

Relation to Will Materialisation
Now that this ability has its own article, can Black Zetsu be removed as a user of Will Materialisation? He isn't actually materialising will, he just infuses himself (a product of materialised will) into others. Also, if the Will Materialisation article is staying, should it be this technique's parent?--BeyondRed (talk) 04:49, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

about the trivia
What's the exact reasoning?--Elveonora (talk) 14:52, August 27, 2014 (UTC)

Deletion
Black Zetsu has no body, so this is just how it moves around. So this doesn't seem to be an actual ability. ~SnapperTo 19:50, November 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Correction, it's not an actual technique, but it's an "ability" Black Zetsu is a parasite/symbionte (depends on his moon) so I guess it's a natural function of "his" body, if you can call it that--Elve Talk Page 21:36, November 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's something he can do by virtue of the fact that he has no body. In the same way that I can walk by virtue of the fact that I have legs and birds can fly by virtue of the fact that they have wings. Unless walking and flying are abilities, this thing that Black Zetsu does doesn't need a dedicated article. ~SnapperTo 21:43, November 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * That much I agree with, still should be mentioned in abilities section tho.--Elve Talk Page 21:51, November 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * While it is true that it is natural for Black Zetsu, it should also be considered that it is a unique ability that only he possesses (like the Hydrafication technique, but it's also like the 1000 yrs of death in that anyone can stick their fingers up a persons ass). Yes, it's probably like walking for people and flying for birds, but that is normal in the real world anyways while this is not and he's a unique being, so anything normal for him is still a weird ability--Deathmailrock (talk) 00:43, November 12, 2014 (UTC)
