Talk:Yamato

Debut
I do not recall Yamato appearing in Shippuuden #1. --Dubtiger 03:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's just for a short moment, at least in the anime.Jacce 10:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Image
The image here isn't good at all. It looks like overzealous fan art more than a canonical image from the series. And it certainly doesn't properly depict what he looks like. Could someone find a better image and upload it with a good file name and tag it with a fair use rationale so we can replace this one with it. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Apr 5, 2008 @ 21:48 (UTC)


 * It has been replaced.....with a non-liensed non-fair used image. Also, don't you think Yamato should be Tenzo? You have his real name, so why don't use it instead of using a fake name given by Tsunade? --Kakashi Namikaze Talk, Contribs 01:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Cause if memory serves me correctly, more people user Yamato. Hell even Yamato prefers Yamato over Tenzo.--TheUltimate3 01:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Remember Tobi and Madara Uchiha? If a character has a real name, then we use their real name for the title and infoboxes. What name we use in-content though depends on the context of the section. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jun 10, 2008 @ 04:14 (UTC)

Spoiler tag
Isen't there anyway to shorten the spoiler tag, so the text can be next to the info box, not below it? Jacce 14:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Yamato
yamato on the mission with sai and anko to find where kabuto is..--Stevenji 05:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * True, but for verification, we need to wait for the scanlation before we add it to the article. --Mewshuji 10:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Name
Everyone calls him Yamato, and "Tenzo" was only mentioned once or twice. And didn't it call him Yamato in the Data Book? Zeus
 * No matter, his real name is Tenzo, as stated by Kakashi. End of discussion. Jacce 21:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Family

 * Even though he's genetic source is Hashirama Senju, shud it be stated as his family??? Hashirama Senju's not really any part of his family, he was just genetically altered by Orochimaru...Technically if he's related to Hashirama Senju, he shud also be related to Tobirama Senju and Tsunade...AlienGamer | Talk 11:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree --Thejluninja (talk) 00:31, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Chuunin
According to the third databook, he graduated the academy at age 6 and at the same age, he became a chuunin. Could it be verified by you guys as well and placed in his article? - MadaraU (talk) 06:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

abilities
i think the water release should also added in the abilities section.--Narutodude (talk) 19:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)Narutodude
 * It is mentioned under Wood Element Techniques. Jacce | Talk 19:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

jonin
Shouldn't his highest rank be listed as Jonin? He is in the same situation as Kakashi, he is a Jonin who was serving in the Anbu. Anbu is composed of chunin and jonin level shinobi, therefore it's not a rank higher than jonin in itself. 84.40.203.182 (talk) 17:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The ANBU is composed of any person deemed fit, not just jōnin and chūnin. Generally, it is considered higher than jōnin, although technically it doesn't belong to the same hierarchy. That said, Yamato isn't a jōnin, he's just an ANBU. For all ew know, he never even held the rank of jōnin. Yamato's situation is completely different from Kakashi's --ShounenSuki (talk 21:45, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This reminds me why does kakashi have Jonin instead of ANBU Captain ?Kyuubinaruto123 (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Kakashi has jōnin and not ANBU because the ranking between these two ranks isn't entirely clear. As I said before, ANBU and jōnin are from entirely different hierarchies, meaning they cannot be simply compared. Because of this, and the fact that Kakashi has been a jōnin since way before the start of the series and has done most of his major acts as a jōnin and not as an ANBU, we decided to put in the jōnin rank instead of the ANBU rank.
 * If I'm not mistaken, steps are being taken to put both ranks in his infobox, though. --ShounenSuki (talk 22:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be for the good. Xfing (talk) 10:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Kekkei Genkai?
Is the Wood Release really a Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit)? If so, the Second Hokage (First Hokage's brother) and the Fifth Hokage (First Hokage's granddaughter) should also have those abilities. However, why do they not have those abilities?
 * Wood release is without doubt a blood limit, although some blood limits, like Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku, only appears to some people in the clan. Jacce | Talk 16:27, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Seal
Since Tenzo is an Anbu who worked for Danzo should we say he has Danzos seal.....i mean even if not shown. Should we put in the trivia as this is a mistake by Kishimoto??
 * Tenzo was never stated to work for danzo, he worked in the anbu; while danzo runs a sub division of the anbu. Simant (talk) 03:25, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

New Jutsu?
Is the jutsu from chapter 396 page 9, mention anywhere? In that chapter is said: Earth Element: Winding Fissure and in the anime - Earth Style: Planet Splitter. I can not understand what he says in Japanese. Why it is not mention anywhere?--Donatelo (talk) 22:24, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably the way they decided to translate it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:33, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide. Earth Release: Winding Fissure redirects to it. --ShounenSuki (talk 22:36, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * My bad. First I have to search it, then ask. Sorry.--Donatelo (talk) 23:02, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Jonin
It says in abilities "As a Jōnin, and a temporarily relieved member of the ANBU etc." so should you put him as a Jonin in the info box because you obviously have him listed as a jonin in the abilities section... --67.131.61.141 (talk) 20:38, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed it. --ShounenSuki (talk 20:44, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Different Wood Releasers?
I was just wondering, Tenzo has, unlike Danzo and Hashirama Senju, never used actual trees with leaves and branches in the manga; should that be pointed out? I know that the "Wood Release: Great Forest Technique" is named like it is, but unless I'm completely mistaken it is used http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/340/12/ I don't think it looks like a tree (although it says so in the techniques description on this wikia), it just looks like wood. --89.160.10.177 (talk) 11:26, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems to me like that is either a result of using different techniques, or of personal preference. Tenzō creates ordinary trees in chapter 316. --ShounenSuki (talk 14:39, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

Name Change
According to the Third Databook, the name Tenzō is also a codename. Since both of his names are codenames and he is best known under the name Yamato, I suggest using the latter and moving the article accordingly. --ShounenSuki (talk 12:57, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you can give us a picture, page, or translation and what not, I would gladly, gladly move the page myself. Hell I'd change the instances that Tenzo used in each article myself.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:57, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds like you really dislike the name Tenzō... I think that is a point we can agree on, then.
 * From the Third Databook, page 338; the glossary section:
 * テンゾウ●かつてヤマトに付けられていたコードネーム. 元・暗部のカカシは、馴染み深いこの名でヤマトを呼ぶことがある.
 * Tenzō: The codename previously used to refer to Yamato. As a former ANBU, Kakashi is intimately acquainted with this name and [still] uses it to refer to Yamato.
 * --ShounenSuki (talk 22:26, January 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, the original name should be used, such as Tokichi instead of Sazanami, or Hōki instead of Mōsō. Yatanogarasu 22:16, January 30, 2010


 * The point is that neither of the names is Yamato's original name. They are both codenames, one being in active use (Yamato) and one being obsolete (Tenzō), possibly for more than a decade. I would agree with you if one was his actual name, but with things being as they are, I would rather use the more current name. --ShounenSuki (talk 11:56, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Nickname
Tenzō of the Mokuton? Where did that come from? Okay, so he uses Wood Release, but nobody said his nickname is named after that, unless I forgot or missed about a chapter or something. Yatanogarasu 22:12, January 30, 2010
 * Third Databook, page 175. --ShounenSuki (talk 11:57, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

picture
this picture is terrible could someone please put in a new one?--75.107.64.56 (talk) 23:20, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
