Talk:Yasaka Magatama

Tool?
I know it was given as a technique an all but given it's background and stuff should it be considered a tool as well O.o--Cerez365™ 13:16, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * It was called a jutsu, so we can't make assumptions.--Deva 27 13:19, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * He said Ninjutsu, yes. But I'd say it is a weapon, too. Judging from the background and how the other two are tools, too. Seelentau 愛議 18:20, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * If we list this as a Ninjutsu then the Totsuka blade and the Yata Mirror have to be too. Besides since the last item was the Yakasa Magatama it makes more sense to list as tool to complete the set. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:11, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * This was called a ninjutsu, the others were called items. It looks to me like Susanoo creates the Yasaka no Magatama, so its more likely its a ninjutsu.
 * Were was this stated as a ninjutsu? the only was that Itachi called it's name which hardly qualifies. Given the other weapons and how they all come from Susanoo and part of a matching set, it's silly to list this as a ninjutsu while the other 2 are as tools. Either list all as ninjutsu or all as tools. Also sign your post Darksusanoo (talk) 23:36, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Itachi did say they'd use their strongest long range techniques. Although I still think it might be a tool, it can remain as is until we get more information.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 23:44, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a ninjutsu, the others are tools, the name of the technique and it's influence has no barring on whether something is a tool or ninjutsu.--¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 23:46, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Itachi suggests that they should all use their strongest long-range Ninjutsu. Of course that implies this is a Ninjutsu. But given that the other two are tools, I'd say this is a tool, too. In the end, we should just wait. Seelentau 愛議 23:53, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe we should add Yasaka no Magatama to the tool section together with the Sword of Totsuka and Yata's Mirror because its a weapon/tool used by Susanoo a jutsu used by Itachi in Mangekyou Sharingan. SLAYER13PH (talk) 08:11, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Itachi does say that they should use their strongest long-range ninjutsu, however his strongest one, which he showed, might require the use of one of the legendary tools. --Sauske-Blaze (talk) 13:26, August 18, 2011 (UTC)Sauske-Blaze

So far all Susanoo-related attacks have been made by weapons: the Totsuka blade, the Yata Mirror, the crossbow from Sasuke's version...this is basicaly Itachi's version of long range...since all Susanoo's items were classified as tools it doesn't make sense to state this as a ninjutsu since it derives from Susanoo like every other item.

Any more ideas/opinions/objections to change this into a tool? Darksusanoo (talk) 21:07, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * But we really can't change it until it's actually confirmed as a tool especially with the way it's used. I'm not entirely sure why I brought this up in the first place any more but I'm against it since it's us making an assumption because of the techniques influence.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 21:16, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * But in the same way we're assuming this is a ninjutsu without solid proof...and so far all of Susanoo's attacks have been weapon/tool-based ones. Darksusanoo (talk) 21:25, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Earrings
Could it be the magatama earrings that Susanoo wears? Yatanogarasu 07:37, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Naming consistency
The articles on item/technique which come from the Imperial Regalia are currently named with what I perceive as a slight inconsistency. All three follow the format "something no thing" in the original Japanese. We currently list them as "Sword of Totsuka", "Yata Mirror" and "Yasaka no Magatama". I know there's a historical reason for there being no written indication of the "no" in the mirror, though it's still said with it in the middle. To make them all follow the same format, I think that they should be named either "Sword of Totsuka"/"Mirror of Yata"/"Magatama of Yasaka" or "Totsuka('s) Sword"/"Yata('s) Mirror"/"Yasaka('s) Magatama", unless a compelling reason not to is provided, of course.

 * I'd have no problem with this. I'm in favour of the possessive names though, "Mirror of Yata" doesn't sounds odd.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 21:00, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
