Talk:Karin

bite marks
The wikia makes it seem as though her bite marks are forever present, though I've always assumed that they simply appear when she activates her Heal Bite technique. There are several instances where we should be able to see the marks but just don't. Near the end of chapter 662, we should be able to see them, but we only see them when she activates the technique in the next chapter. Another instance would be here, no bite marks on her right arm. Yet another would be in the new Boruto episode. In chapter 480, there's also a sound effect of the marks appearing when she pulls her sleeve up. I'm sure I could find other things supporting this. Is there any source stating they're always there? Munchvtec (talk) 01:46, April 8, 2019 (UTC)
 * The thing is, that doesn't make sense. I'm no expert in the sound effects, but I think that might just be an effect of the sleeve being pulled. The marks also appear when she isn't bitten. When B wrecks Sasuke's chest, Karin opens her cloak showing bite marks on her neck, but it's Jugo who ends up transplanting some of his flesh. No biting took place, marks were present. I also think it's incorrect to think this is something that requires activation. From what we know, all that is required is for the person to bite her and suck on her chakra, there's no indication there's a conscious need of activation on her part for the healing to take effect. Like I mentioned at Heal Bite's talk page, there many possible explanations, but the bites becoming visible and then not based on "use", which which as mentioned is a rather questionable terminology, is the most speculative explanation I've seen so far.

 * How is it speculative? And that's not the only instance, you chose to only look at one thing I listed. This is being based on what we've seen. Saying they are always there when they 100% are not is stupid. The marks appear whenever she's about to let someone bite her. That's an activation. And with the chapter 480 thing, it's not a sound effect of the sleeve, the sound effect is pointing at her marks, which aren't near the sleeve. Munchvtec (talk) 04:28, April 8, 2019 (UTC)
