Talk:Killer B

Fist-bumpin'
When Bee fist bumps it seems that he is able to "see into" people for lack of a better way to phrase this. I was wondering if this was possibly a Tailed Beast Skill or something O.o.--Cerez365™☺ 15:25, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

I think the fist bumping is related to how Naruto and Sasuke were able to read each other while fighting. Shinobi being able to "Speaking through fists". --Alastar 89 (talk) 01:28, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it's a tailed beast skill. Bee just says if Raikage gives him a fist bump, he can read into his heart. --Konan_Lee (talk) 3:19, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * He's done it several times before though.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 03:29, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Question?
The way Naruto controlled his beast was by ripping out its chakra. Killer Bee did it in the same place, and even intstructed Naruto on how to do it. But it doesn't seem that way with Bee. I remember parts of his fight with Kisame where he asks the eight tails to lend, I said LEND, its chakra to bee. Did he not do it the same way as naruto and why didn't naruto do it the same way as bee?
 * The fox is a bundle of hatred he sees it as demeaning for someone to control him. The Hachibi could've been the same way once but now has formed a "friendship" for lack of a better word with Bee.--Cerez365™☺ 18:35, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Family Relations
killer bee was "chosen " to be A's brother. meaning they are not actually related by blood. i think that the word "adoptive" should be parenthesized next to his family status with A Iowndisciti (talk) 18:13, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree 100%, On The Third Raikage's family relations, B should be put as his Adoptive son also.

 * More like "chosen brother" than adopted imo. geohound (talk) my ideas 19:10, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure the term adopted should be used. Maybe foster brother? We could also change that term in Sai and Shin's infoboxes. Adopted means someone would have adopted them, foster doesn't have that implication. You can be a foster child without being adopted. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:49, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * We could just say they're "brothers" (with quotes) and be done with it.
 * And why does being related to A mean he's related to the Third too? ~SnapperTo 22:31, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

You have a point, "Brothers" would be the best way to put it, in Sai, Shin, A, and B's Page's. Your also right, there needs not to be a relation between the third and b until stated otherwise in the manga, in the future databooks or by the mangaka. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 22:41, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

You guys have to remember this is a Japanese story so it is related to Japanese culture. The protocol/qualifications of who is considered family maybe different from Western preconceptions of family. I am not very knowledgable of Japanese culture so I can't really give a definitive answer. The important thing here is A and B consider each other brothers. You can mention that B was chosen to be A's brother; it would be better to state in the respective articles (A and B) that B was selected to be A's brother for the purpose of a tag team. --Alastar 89 (talk) 23:28, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * As with Sai and Shin, I would go with adoptive brother with A and B. I also wouldn't put any relation between B and the Third Raikage in the infobox. On a related note, it seems rather obvious by now that it should be 'B' and not 'Bee', considering the link to A's name. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:53, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * /shrug on "Brother". I'm going to assume Killer B is appropriate then.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 00:20, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Then should we change the article to "killer B" and have any other variant of the name directed to the corrected name which is "Killer B". I can't remember...did shounen Jump label it "Bee" or "B"? --Alastar 89 (talk) 01:35, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * His names looks like its written as "Bee" on a cover Weekly Shounen Jump.--Deva 27 01:48, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * So would that mean the Mangastream translation errored on Ch541 pg17, where they were talking about "B" when it should be "Bee". Of course the difference in spelling could also be a personalization by the current holder of the name.--Alastar 89 (talk) 01:53, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * "B" and "Bee" are homophones so are both acceptable spellings. Kishimoto seems to prefer "B", but he has also taken advantage of the homophone in "Killer Bee". ~SnapperTo 02:04, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand that they are homophones but just wondered if there was a official spelling. Thanks for the clarification. --Alastar 89 (talk) 02:11, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Might i suggest we wait with chanching things until next chapter in the hopes that it will clarify their relationship better??? Gojita (talk) 13:16, June 2, 2011 (UTC)Gojita


 * As far as I know, there has never been an official English spelling for B's name published. 'B' seems to be the most appropriate one now, though, so I do suggest we change it. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:47, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Given that we have the context in which he was given the name, I don't really see a reason not to change it to just "B" but at the same time if they are homophones and can be used interchangeably, I'm fine with either one.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 15:12, June 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * We could use both! "Bee" when キラービー is used and "B" when it's just ビー. That way we can confuse readers, which, I feel, we aren't doing enough of. ~SnapperTo 16:38, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * But we have redirects though. --NejiLoverr26 17:13, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's not the issue, it's what we refer to him as in the articles "B" or "Bee"--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:32, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops.. sorry! I misunderstood the long discussion. --NejiLoverr26 10:37, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree we should standardize and use B, since we have A, C.. If the letters have relation with their strength then the raikage is the strongest of Kumogakure, B is the second and C is the third and so on, therefore the line of Raikage successors is also defined. but thats another topic. Holyn (talk) 15:08, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily the names are related to strength. From what we've seen, I find Darui to be much stronger than C. C is like the ideal support type of fighter. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Guys, what's the problem? It's obvious that his name's B and not Bee (and I just knew it all the time, yeah! :D), so it should be changed if this wiki is following the original and not the (wrong) English version. That's all there is to it, imo. Seelentau 愛議 21:52, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree. --Ilnarutoanime 18:17, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Why actually Third Raikage isnt listed as B's adoptive father? Third and A are compereable in this fashion. VolteMetalic (talk) 20:44, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
