I did what was done with articles like "True Wind Release: Rasenshuriken"; the article was mentioned in the trivia, but in my case, I mentioned the name in the gallery. The names still exist, maybe they're a little more difficult to locate now, but they're still there...

Omnibender wrote: For me, if something gets a name in a game, it should be considered for an article. For me, the greater issue at hand is when something in the game should be considered to have happened in the manga and anime as well. As I've mentioned before, when there's literally no difference between a technique and its predecessor, what's the point of even having a page for it? Eg. Just to point out that the animal is a "lion"?

Omnibender wrote: If the something from the game matches something from the manga/anime, then it should discussed if it gets added to a list or gallery, like you did with combos from Sai and Deidara, or if it remains its own article. Actually, it's more like: It should be discussed whether the technique should be made into an anime/manga technique beforehand, even more so if it adds nothing new to the article... And I think it's something we should implement as an official rule (or something) now...

Omnibender wrote: There is also something that should be considered when using game names for manga and anime feats. Game combos, at least the ones I found and translated from the Ultimate Ninja series, are usually named over the last movement of a sequence. Saying something from the game also happened in the manga and anime depends on whether you consider the name to describe the entire sequence, or only the finishing move of the sequence in question. For example, I've lost track of how many times Afterglow has shifted between game-only or not over the inclusion or exclusion of a set up Chidori, that if I'm not mistaken, is a generic setup from other Sasuke combos in that game as well. That's actually a great topic to shift this conversation to. :) While I do agree with you on that, personally, I think that the entire combo sequence should be correct. We have a lot of different game Rasengan techniques that end with a standard Rasengan at the end; If we only look at the last action of the combo, then basically all those techniques could be turned into anime/manga techniques because they are all Rasengans.... Hence is why we should only stick to either a) an entire combo, or b) looking for something different in the last action (in addition to the Rasengan) for it to have an article. (Example: Big Ball Spiralling Serial Spheres is literally the same as Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan in its last action, aside from the senjutsu and it being sort of like Twin Rasengan.)
