Iar Sensei wrote: Tsunade's parents are never mentioned so we don't know their case. hashi is tsunades grandfather and his wife is her grandmother, so, tsunade is the same case as bolt/himewari, the reason why they got the whiskers (and tsuande didnt) is either "because one of ther parents had the kyuubi" or "kishi wanted it since he thought it would fit"

yes, since we dont know about tsunades parents we cant be sure but i really think the latter option has a much higher chance, unless kishi actually said that "the whiskers come alongside kyuubi-traits from the parent who is his jin" :/

Neither of us know absolutely everything about the series. yes, btw, i simply dont think that "he has the whiskers = they have kyuubi-abilitys" isnt a convincing argument, afterall it could easily be that kishi thought whiskers fit to chars who is close to a fox... Iar Sensei wrote: EDIt: check the Jinchuriki pages trivia. My statement isn't entirely accurate unless being a female jinchuriki ends up not having to be necessary for genetic traits. So please dude, take things into question next time, no matter how ludicris. do you know why it is in the trivia section?

because it isnt stated, it is pure speculation that it SEEMS like that, we dont know if the whiskers have anything to do with the kyuubi or if kishi simply thought it would fit... Iar Sensei wrote: Yes, Kishi is a little bit of a "feel like it" artist, but that'd be '''a little ridiculous. Like all those anime that have animalistic looking people for no damn reason.''' why? we have orochimaru, kabuto, kisame, the immprtal-5-hearts-guy etc.

giving whiskers simply because kishi thought it would fit the char doesnt seem ridiculous in the slightest, at least for me ^_^
