Talk:Sai

Elemental Nature & Abilities
OK, I'm a bit confused. The article says Sai's next appearance will reveal his elemental nature, but we have listed his Primary & Secondary natures. Which is it? Have they revealed his nature or not? Also, the abilities listed I don't remember him being able to use(unless it was in the data books). Are these game Jutsus? I only remember him using his drawing techniques.Memsochet 22:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

This is correct. There is no sign or moment that Sai uses an element in the Manga and Anime. In both, he only uses drawing techniques. --NejiByakugan360 22:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, then shouldn't we remove the references to elemental abilities he has never used?

This was caused by 71.167.86.248, he went around altering random jutsu saying that Sai could use them. His edits have been reverted. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Dec 23, 2008 @ 00:20 (UTC)

Name
I have heard that the word "sai" can mean rhino in japanese. Is that true? 213.67.219.145 16:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it means rhinoceros in Japanese. It also means "difference," "psi," "to hold a meeting," "debt," "circumstances," "repeated," "ability," "age," "son," "sai" (the weapon), "10^44," "cut," "side dish," "extreme," and a few dozen other things.
 * It's useless seeking meaning behind the names of the ANBU "Root" members. Their (code)names are all simple, basicilally meaningless syllables, as expected from an organisation that demands their members be emotionless and without identity and individuality. --ShounenSuki 20:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Adopted brother?
Is "adopted brother" really the best term to describe the relationship Sai has with Shin? It seems to imply that Sai's parents officially adopted Shin or vice versa. --ShounenSuki 00:35, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Article Section Order
I tried altering this article to make it conform to the Manual of Style, and most other character pages I've seen on this Wiki, by putting Abilities up with Background and Personality, before Part in the Story. This was reverted about 3 minutes later. I was just wondering what I'd done wrong. OmegaPointZealot


 * As Far as i've seen in most of the articles, abilities comes at the end..not the beginning..AlienGamer | Talk 06:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, ok, I'll concede that. But then, shouldn't the Manual of Style reflect this? Because, it clearly states that Abilities should precede the Part in the Story section. Also, doesn't it make more sense to have abilities before part in the story, anyways? As before, just wondering. OmegaPointZealot


 * I allready changed it back to u'r version...and please sign u'r comments..AlienGamer | Talk 06:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. And, done. Didn't know how to before, but I hope this is satisfactory. OmegaPointZealot


 * Instead of typin it, try ~ ..Its the key above TAB...AlienGamer | Talk 06:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty. Many thanks. :D OmegaPointZealot (talk) 07:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Sai's Curse Mark
I have a question about Sai's Curse Mark. Is it really like a Curse Mark [like Sasuke's] or is Danzo able to kill those who every to much about the Foundation and/or plans/missions? --Hamachi1993 (talk) 21:56, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Hamachi1993


 * It's probably too early to tell. give it a few more chapters, and they might go into it.--Marioscout (talk) 21:49, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. Because [even though I just started reading the Shippuden manga Series,I still keep up with this wiki and the anime] I was wondering, by what it stated in the Invasion of Pain Invasion Ark [or] Sixth Hokage Ark, it made it seem deadly to the container of it. --Hamachi1993 (talk) 21:56, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Hamachi1993


 * Orochimaru's Juuinjutsu is kind of special even within the Naruto Universe. It seems, from the look of the thing and the description Sai gives of its effects (paralyzation, inability to reveal secrets about Danzou, etc.) that it has much more in common with the curse seal of the Hyuuga clan. It should probably be listed on the Juuinjutsu page, if it's not already. OmegaPointZealot (talk) 22:00, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Yet thats if others agree. But i agree and If its not added then Ill add it. --Hamachi1993 (talk) 22:26, 20 June 2009

UPDATE: i read this in the Juinjustu Section: When the wearer of this Cursed Seal speaks about anything related to Danzō, their entire body will become numb, taking away their ability to speak or move. (UTC)Hamachi1993

sai's cursed seal
i have a question about it, what episode did he show it or reveal it?


 * chapter 452 page 8

P.S. Please sign your post.--Donatelo (talk) 09:20, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

friendship

Sai's role
Isn't Sai a protagonist as well? Saiyan16 (talk) 15:49, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, side character. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) Jul 14, 2009 @ 17:07 (UTC)

Pale
Why is Sai so pale in the anime? On the colored pages of the manga it shows him with the same skin tone as everyone else. -- Mpc797 19:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The coloured pages I have of Sai show him to be as white as sheet of paper. --ShounenSuki (talk 07:47, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually ShounenSuki, I was looking for a recent manga coloring of Sai and found this [Here]
 * As you can see, it seems that Jiraiya and Sai have the same skin tone. And can you please find me a source of a manga coloring of Sai where he is shown pale?Kracel (talk) 04:33, December 29, 2009 (UTC)


 * Of course it does, the manga (usually) is black and white


 * If you want a source, I can give you one. Six, actually.123456
 * Each and every colour page that features Sai has him with an extremely pale skin tone. You picked out the one colour page that does not. --ShounenSuki (talk 18:06, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

What is Sai's Rank?
Does anyone know Sai's Rank? I know he is in ANBU, but is he Jonin? It only states his Chunin age when he was promoted from Genin to Chunin? Can Chunin be Genin? I'm just asking for interest's sake...Sparxs77 (talk) 22:17, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * ANBU is a rank. So Sai's rank is ANBU, just like Yamato's rank is ANBU and Yūgao Uzuki's rank and Shin's rank and Hyō's rank and Fū's rank... you get the idea. --ShounenSuki (talk 12:06, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Well, considering how he was orphaned as a child and recruited by ROOT, how would it even be possible that he was promoted to genin and chunin? unless they give ranks in ANBU root or ANBU.So if they do i would say hes definitely Jounin.96.51.17.141 (talk) 01:00, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
