infobox
On my side it shows that Indra is brother of himself.--Elveonora (talk) 14:04, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Same. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 14:07, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Something broke somewhere, its doing the same. It also isn't showing Asura anywhere.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:54, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd be surprised if everything was showing up as it should, considering how many times both brothers' articles were moved in the last couple days. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:21, March 27, 2014 (UTC)

Proper Verbage
In the Trivia section, it is stated that the conflict between Indra and Asura is based on Hindu Religion; It should say that it is based on Hindu Mythology. Unlike western Religions--where mythology and religion are closely tied together--Indic Religions have a strong divide between Mythology and Religion. The stories in Hindu Mythology are intended to be read as allegories, or parables that teach lessons, similar to Aesop's fables. The war between Devas and Asuras only exists in the mythological aspect of Hindu culture, It is not part of the Hindu religion. NTRJ (talk) 15:03, April 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 15:27, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Cerez365 this although NTRJ is correct, in case of the Devas vs. Asuras it based on the Hindu Religion not mythology. The proof of this is Vrita (an Asura) who fights against Indra (the King of Gods) in the Rig Veda, which is the precedent of all modern Hinduism. If the reference was based on the puranas then it *might* be considered mythology (based on the religious sect). But the war of the Gods and Asuras are definitively mainstream Hinduism.--ElvinWindSword (talk) 15:24, April 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Does that mean it's Hindu religion but Buddhist mythology? --Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 15:34, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Well it's also Buddhist religion as well since the Buddha taught that the devas (Gods) could be seen by a human that had awakened their dibbacakkhu (or extrasensory chakra via meditation). In Buddhistism the importance of the devas shifted however, from their high status in Vedic Hinduism to their non-deity status in Buddhism. So in short both religions hold the above mentioned story to be true, so we should revert the changes from "mythology" to "religion". --ElvinWindSword (talk) 19:17, April 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * In English, the more appropriate would be mythology, rather than religion. However, that may different depending on the language and translation. What you're describing is myth, lore, a folktale. The religion part itself would be closer to ritual, morality, theology, etc. If need be, we can always google the difference. But as the information relevant to the trivia stands, it is mythology. --Taynio (talk) 23:38, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Susanoo as Jutsu
I can't seem to add Susanoo as Indra's jutsu in the item box, shouldn't it be listed?--ElvinWindSword (talk) 22:51, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * It is, click on "jutsu"--Elveonora (talk) 22:54, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Right but I was referring to the drop down menu, it isn't showing up there for some reason. --ElvinWindSword (talk) 23:02, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Showing up just fine for me. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 00:55, April 6, 2014 (UTC)
