Talk:Wood Release: Wood Human Technique

Naming
I don't think this name is correct. Mokujin would mean "person of wood", "Wooden man", or simply "wooden person". God in japanese is Kami, everyone knows that, thought I'm sure there are other ways. I'd like it to be: Wood Release: Person of Wood. Skarrj (talk) 07:28, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, Kami does mean "god", but the word jin is often used as a suffix for the same word (神, god). ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 07:30, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're right. I didn't look at the Kanji(Thought my computer showed them as boxes, which is normally does), only the Romanji. My mistake. Skarrj (talk) 07:37, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * How can you be so sure that the Kanji are correct? Seelentau 愛議 08:38, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Because I've worked with kanji long enough to recognize them, or have reliable sources to look them up on the off-occasion that I can't remember what it means in the context. Edit: Furthermore, you can look at the use of the word and deduce it, even if you didn't have kanji immediately present. Whenever jin (神, god) is attached as a suffix, it most often means "god" or "deity". The only exception would be like in Akira Toriyama's Dragonball, when jin is used like this; e.g., "Saiya-jin", in which case, the kanji for jin is (人) which is meant to denote nationality. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 09:20, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I know about the different Kanji matching jin. I also know that it's a common suffix when written as 人, denoting nationality and literally meaning human. What I don't know is if the wooden creature from this Jutsu resembles any real life deity. If this is the case, I can understand why there's the Kanji for god in the name. But other than that, I don't see why Kishimoto-sensei should've used the Kanji for god over the Kanji for human, when Hashirama is obviously creating a wooden human-like creature. Thus I'm for removing the Kanji until I have a raw to confirm them. Seelentau 愛議 09:48, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
