User:Omnibender/Name source checking

Through various searches I make regarding names of stuff, be it jutsu, characters, locations, voice actors, sometimes I'll find conflicting sources, or names that differ from what we have listed in this wiki, and stuff we don't have. This is a page to help me keep track of conflicting information and the sources on those, and is likely to contain stuff I already brought up in the relevant article's talk page. Pretty much all of these are in the Japanese Wikipedia articles about Naruto, but sometimes they also show up elsewhere.

Fire Release: Demon Lantern - Kanji are currently listed as 火遁・鬼灯籠, JW has it listed as 火遁・鬼燈籠. Reading and meaning are the same. Google shows more results for JW's version. Both versions of the way to write the "lantern" part seem to occur in Japanese.

Heavenly Prison Fire Sword - Kanji are currently listed as 天牢火劍, JW has it listed as 天牢火剣. Our version does yield more Google results, but the majority of those are in Chinese rather than Japanese. The more common variation of the sword kanji is likely to be correct.

Flower Ninja Art: Many Blooming Flowers - Kanji are currently listed as 花忍法・百花繚乱, just as the idiom, and JW has it listed as 花忍法・百火繚乱, which would be translated as something like Flower Ninja Art: Hundred Fires Profusion or Flower Ninja Art: Many Fires Profusion, depending on how faithful to the idiom you want to be. The version with the fire kanji is listed in other sites, though many look like they did some web scraping. It would not be out of place with how other jutsu have been named in the past, with puns.

Fire Release: Fire Rotation - 火遁・火廻 Katon: Himawari. JW lists it as something from The Tale of the Utterly Purehearted Shinobi, though they don't list the exact effect or user.

Water Release: Hail - 水遁・雨あられ Suiton: Amearare. Something used by Chino that a tumblr tells me is a water version of Gaara's Sand Hail.

Water Release: Angry Anguish Rain - 水遁・怒苦雨 Suiton: Dokusame. Used by Kiiro. Black rain that sticks to the opponent, restricting movement and field of vision.

Water Release: Cold Sky Water Attack - Kanji are currently listed as 水遁・冽空水撃, JW has it listed as 水遁・裂空水撃, same reading. JW's version translates something like Water Release: Tearing Sky Water Attack. All the results I could find for our version seem to be either translations, or web scraping. There are only a handful results for the JW version. Everything relating to how ice or cold mentioned in the current translation seems to come from a single YouTube video of the OVA, with questionable translation.

Earth Release: Underground Split - Kanji are currently listed as 土遁・土中爆, JW has it listed as 土遁・土柱爆, same reading. Translation would be Earth Release: Earth Pillar Explosion. The Viz/English translation doesn't quite match either translation. Our version has almost no results on Google, except for places that look like just translated our entry on it, and other than the JW entry, all results of the other version seem to in Chinese, apparently due to it being written like that in a Chinese market only game, or one of those unlicensed Chinese games.

Violent Heavenly Earth Needle - Kanji are currently listed as 烈土天針, JW has it listed as 裂土天針, same reading, translation would something like Tearing Earth Heavenly Needle, similar to Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm. All results for our version seem to be from other wiki and web scraping. JW's version appears in more varied sites.

Weaknessless Soaring Shortswords - Kanji are currently listed as 不弱飛翔小剣, JW has it listed as 孔雀二双昇剣, which is completely different. Reading is Kujaku Nisō Shōken, and it translates to Peacock Two Twin Rising Swords. Our version shows up only in blatant copies of our stuff, JW's version appears in more varied sites.

Wind Cutter Technique - Kanji are currently listed as 風切りの術, JW has it as 風斬り. Same reading, apart from the "no jutsu", and same meaning I think. A bit difficult to compare search results, as one is an incomplete form of another term, and something similar also appears to be popular in fanfic, I think.

Lightning Armour - 雷の鎧 Ikazuchi no Yoroi. Appears to be something we don't have. JW lists both this and Lightning Strike Armour as different jutsu. From the description, it's possible they split what we consider Lightning Strike Armour to be into two jutsu.

Lightning Release: Electric Shock Needles - 雷遁・感電針々 Raiton: Kanden Baribari. Used by Kodaka. Similar to Chidori Senbon, but the description also mentions stuff that kinda looks like it's about the plot this was used in, I can't quite figure out. There are mentions to increased speed, venomous bees, and a blind eye. Might be a hiden from his clan.

Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder - No site actually in Japanese lists it as we do. They all list this as. The English anime translation would also make more sense, which leads me to think we've simply listed this wrong all along.

Lightning Release Co-Operation: Thunder Bomb - Written the exact same way in JW and other Japanese sites, but the "cooperation" is after the ":", making this Lightning Release: Cooperation Thunder Bomb.
