Talk:Flying Thunder God Kunai

Movie
In the absence of a manga or anime name, I think we could use the name given in the Lost Tower film. In it, Minato calls it "Flying Thunder God Kunai". Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:03, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds fine to me, although the manga technically does give it a name: . —ShounenSuki (talk 10:17, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * This.--Cerez365™☺ 16:24, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that be more of a description of what it is rather than a name? It feels like that. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:30, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think he'd be fine with either one i prefer the former though the other one sounds like a generalization.--Cerez365™☺ 17:06, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * So which one? I think the movie name is easier to associate with this. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:35, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I prefer the movie name.--Deva 27 01:39, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Film name, definitely. Perhaps with a mention of what it's called in the manga. —ShounenSuki (talk 09:05, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * But isn't film name more non-canon? Manga is more reliable as a source, as it is canon and does not contain plot-holes and inconsistencies. I mean, Chōji's mother only appears in the anime, but if she appears in the manga later on with a different physical appearance, then we would be using the manga picture instead of the anime.

 * The manga name is a mere description, though. The film name is closer to an actual name and is a lot clearer. The choice isn't between a manga name and a film name, it's between a vague description and a clear description. —ShounenSuki (talk 09:30, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Plus, if the manga gives it a name which is as clear, we can just rename it again. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:26, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Name
I think It looks more like a Sai rather than a kunaiCda081799 (talk) 06:10, September 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Minato called it a kunai.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 13:29, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Handle kanji
Hey folks, I was curious... Is anyone able to translate the kanji on the handle? The most I can discern from it is the first symbol: 忍 (nin) which is commonly used to denote ninja/shinobi (as also seen on the Alliance's forehead protectors, but aside from that, not much else. Anyone else wanna give it a go?    DANIEL  09:35, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * No one can decipher it, not even our resident translator. Someone did however at one time say it looked like to them.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 09:58, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * The writing seems to be different almost every time they have shown up in the manga, its unlikely it actually means anything, I'm going to try figuring it out though.--TricksterKing (talk) 10:45, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why not just go with that translation I dug up, Ninju Fuzetsu? It seems right enough. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 10:58, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * But seeming and being are two different things.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 11:22, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the actual text is visibly different in how many characters are written and which characters are written, even though the text is blurred on the scans I looked at.--TricksterKing (talk) 11:28, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * How does this look guys? Here's a comparison: http://i43.tinypic.com/2i7y74o.jpg  I placed a screencap from the anime and the text.  Looks ... pretty close? Konohagakure_Symbol.svg  DANIEL  12:37, February 19, 2012 (UTC)
