Talk:Calorie Control

Not a jutsu
This feels like fanfiction. Calorie control is only used to achieve Butterfly Mode and in fact, only whose who can use Butterfly mode can control their calories. It’s not even a separate jutsu. I suggest this page to be removed.
 * Did you even read the citations on this page? It's not fanfiction. For a wiki that prides itself on not allowing fanfiction, it would have been removed at least a decade ago if it was bogus.

 * Yeah, I’ve read the databook and the only thing I’ve got from that Calorie Control is used for Butterfly Mode. Chōza mentioned that Chōji achieved Calorie Control only after he entered Butterfly Mode, meaning it’s not ability that all Akimichi can use, much less is a basis for all of their abilities. I suggest this page should be deleted and/or united with Butterfly Mode. -- Solo King
 * Support merge with Butterfly Mode. The only db translation I found could be read as though this is the core ability of the Akimichi, but when combined with Choza's line in 534 it's clear this is simply the natural way of achieving Butterfly Mode, the colored pills being the unnatural alternative. ~SnapperTo 21:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Chōji’s DB4 profile (big caption on the right, “the burning calories turn into wings”) also supports this.-- Solo King
 * I wish this community was able to pick a lane and stick with it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:35, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Something needs to be done with this page, since there no strong evidence to support that Calorie Control is a basis for all of Akimichi techniques. -- Solo King


 * Communities are made of individual users, and individual users have different opinions. Cerez himself noted that Choza's line could only be read in one way and that the interpretation this article uses is based solely on the db, which is not how evidence is supposed to work. If two sources speak about the same subject, any interpretation about the subject needs to be supported by both sources. This article isn't doing that: Choza makes it sound as though Choji didn't achieve calorie control until then and there, yet Choji had been manipulating his body's size for years at that point. So it can't be the core ability, as this article is suggesting. And if it isn't the core ability, then calorie control has no application outside of Butterfly Mode. ~SnapperTo 22:14, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Reverse
Boruto anime episode 67 demonstrates both Chōji and ChōChō can reverse all chakra back to the body mass. I guess the logic behind this is that if there are enough chakra left, it can be converted back. It is, without a doubt, stupid as chakra wings by themselves should consume enough chakra for user to loose at least some weight, but anime completely ignores this. I am not sure what and here should be added, but it needs to be mentioned.Faust-RSI (talk) 20:57, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Episode 156 reconfirm that (in the opinion of the anime team) they can freely convert calories not only to chakra but also straight to the body mass, if enough is consumed. Faust-RSI (talk) 14:15, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
