Talk:Nanakusa Island

Other stuff
The other mentioned things are (dunno what Mandora means or if the Kana are correct),  and something called  (again no clue about the meaning and Kana). If I missed anything, let me know. Seelentau 愛議 01:21, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

 * Ah, thanks! :D Chōji called it the Giant Mato Flower btw, but I think that's just nitpicking^^ Seelentau 愛議 21:15, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, i noticed that too, but it was only called that once, while it was simply called 'giant mako' twice. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:26, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Mato?
This isn't for the article; it's just something I'm curious about. What is the "Giant Mato" supposed to be? I know it's a flower or other kind of plant, but is this based on something that exists (like how the Eye Medicine Plant is inspired by Eyebright, or Mandra Grass is probably based on real plants), or is it something completely made up for the anime (like how the manga has the special chakra paper and the sacred gunbai wood)? When I try to translate it, it either doesn't translate "mato" or it translates it as meaning "mark". Raidra (talk) 16:10, June 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * It comes from tomato • Seelentau 愛 議 16:53, June 26, 2018 (UTC)
 * So presumably it's just a plant that grows into a big, fancy tomato that's vitamin-enriched or something, eh? Well, it's not the first time a tomato-inspired fictional plant was made to sound fancier and more special. Thank you for responding! Raidra (talk) 20:39, June 26, 2018 (UTC)
