Talk:Chōmei

size
how can we be sure it isn't giant sized, because kishimoto largens the size of the jinchūriki, also every one of the beasts seen in the anime or manga is very large, so why would he make some small? Vik0z0z (talk) 22:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

name
isn't horned beetle in japanese 角状のカブトムシ Vik0z0z (talk) 00:25, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, the is a specific species of insect called the rhinoceros beetle or horned beetle. 角状のカブトムシ technically means "horn-shaped horned beetle."

Element
Whats the beetles element


 * Who knows? Bugs me too. We know 5 tails has Steam and Six has Bubbles..yet we don't know what this one has.
 * Actually, those "elements" were never said to be actual elements and were connected to the respective jinchūriki and not the Tailed Beasts.
 * There is no need at all for this Tailed Beast, or any other, to have an element. --ShounenSuki (talk 16:12, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the most obvious example being the Kyubi. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:13, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Some people think that it controls wind, due it being the only Bijuu with wings and because the second kanji in its host's name means wind.--Hulon2 (talk) 02:18, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Shukaku has wind element. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:03, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * And it's from a desert. Using that logic, the Shukaku would have been Earth natured, but it's not.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 17:06, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Ahhh, but Shukaku's from the Land of Wind, not Earth. Just saying. Shieldmaiden(talk) 20:25, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

What else can this thing do besides fire Tailed Beast Balls? Anyone?--Naruto 713 (talk) 02:36, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Affilation
Isn't Takigakure it's affilation?--81.219.163.231 (talk) 20:48, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Jinchuriki yes but seeing as the Nanabi is in the possession of Madara, no.Saimaroimaru (talk) 04:40, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

"Shichibi" or "Nanabi"?
Would it be "Shichibi" or "Nanabi"? I know that seven is "nana", but I've often heard the seven-tails refered to as the Shichibi. 98.217.230.157 (talk) 21:55, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe both forms have been used in official sources. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:34, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Kishimoto used both, and both obviously mean seven. I believe we just picked one used from a databook or something and said "eff it good enough".--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 23:36, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Something like this is trvia worthy.Umishiru (talk) 23:57, December 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Where was it called Shichibi? Seelentau 愛議 01:39, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * If memory serves correctly, it was Shichibi in one databook, then nanabi in the manga. Or vice versa. Or some combination of the two.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 02:53, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nanabi in the Sha no Sho, Shichibi in the second artbook. Where else was its name mentioned? Seelentau 愛議 13:21, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

Larva?
In the latest chapter where we see all of the Tailed Beast in "younger forms", the Seven-Tails lacks it's wings and has long tails in its place. Could it possibly have been a Larva before growing into it's current insect-like form?-- Hohenheim ☯ Talk ☯  20:45, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Edit: | Source


 * With the exception of the tail bit, since its tails are wings (well two of them function as such at least). I don't think we should make that decision until more of the beast can actually be seen though now I think it might be a larva afterall.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 20:59, February 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was noticing that larvae bit too, he doesnt look like his current form, and if you look at his head it looks like that of a larvae, and actually they have shown him use his six of his tails as wings in the last chapter he uses all of them in every panel hes in! Vmejia (talk) 21:20, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Debut
Chomei debuted before the chapter 570. --201.230.82.190 (talk) 00:26, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Chōmei was only seen in the Artbook before chapter 570. We've decided not to use those so this is when it débuted.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 00:34, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it appear when Tobi was explaining the tailed beasts in chapter 467? 76.126.75.37 (talk) 04:12, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Unless the character is properly and fully shown, we don't consider it a debut. For example, if a character appears in a flashback, that's their debut. But take Itachi and and Pain for example. We technically first saw Itachi in the few first chapters of the series, when Sasuke said there was a person he wanted to kill. When a character first appears like the beasts appeared in that chapter, we'll list that as a debut until a more proper debut appears. For example, so far, Mangetsu was only mentioned in the anime, so his anime debut is when he was first mentioned, but he's appeared in the manga, so that debut is listed.

Where's the infobox?
Why is the infobox gone ? --speysider (talk) 08:53, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

a trivia note on the name and personality of Choumei and Fuu
Choumei's name referencing Vidya is a point that links to his personality and Fuu's

Vidya is an epithet of the Hindu goddess Sarasvati, consort of Brahma (according to Hindu beliefs). She has superior spiritual feminine energy—the Param Prakriti—which purifies, empowers, and uplifts the individual.

(wording taken from wiki)

the name also reads principle brightness, but Sarasvati is also associated with enlightenment, and that could explain Fuu's and Choumei's cheerful personalities; they are shown to be positive individuals with one smiling cheerfully and the Choumei's already being explained in this artucle. I think it's worth noting the posibility, as such cheerfulness is associated with enlightened beings

Trivia
Is all that stuff about the real life bug necessary? yeah Chomei's a rhinoceros beetle. whoopty-do. Has nothing to do with his character.--RexGodwin (talk) 05:09, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 06:32, September 15, 2013 (UTC)

Wind Release
Seems to be pretty obvious as Chomei's contribution to the Bijuu-Rasenshurikens.--RexGodwin (talk) 09:16, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

Storm Release
Madara, after absorbing the 9 Tailed beasts, uses the storm release. And if it was just that the element used by Chomei? water + lightning. I think this is very likely!Sharingan91 (talk) 17:04, January 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Speculation, we can't say that for sure, which is why it won't be added to the articles. Norleon (talk) 17:06, January 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Unless Madara had Storm Release kekkei genkai on his own, it had to come from one of the Tailed Beasts, that's much more likely than the former option. We just don't know which of the Tailed Beasts has it, but considering we haven't got the slightest idea what substances was Chomei's Rasenshuriken made of, it would be a reasonable conclusion that it was Storm Release.--Elve Talk Page 19:08, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

Edit to this article
We don't know if Fuu was caught by Kakuzu and Hidan at the end of the Chuunin exam, so I suggest we change this until we have guaranteed information. 'Sometime after her encounter with Kakuzu, she was captured by the Akatsuki and Choumei was extracted, killing Fuu and sealing Choumei.' (Hadrimon (talk) 16:30, May 22, 2015 (UTC))
 * Seems pretty obvious that was the due who took her down. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:52, May 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * Blatantly obvious they captured her. --Sarada Uzumaki (talk) 18:06, May 22, 2015 (UTC)
 * > Hidan and Kakuzu show up
 * > They blatantly imply what they are there for
 * > Fu appears to know why
 * Yeah, that obviously does not confirm what they were doing. It's obvious the reason Kakuzu and Hidan showed up is to capture her. They're not just going to turn the hell around and pretend she doesn't damn well exist. Kakuzu would have known she was a jinchuriki. --Sajuuk talk 18:23, May 22, 2015 (UTC)

Someone needs to read a bit better We have no proof they succeeded in capturing her, her face at the end is blatantly a 'Imma have to wreck you' face.

All I am saying is we dont know if this was a successful capture attempt. We should just put she was captured at some point after the encounter with kakuzu, since theres no hard proof they got her there and dragged her off, unlike the encounters with utakata, roushi, yugito etc where we saw them beaten and dragged off, this one didnt, so we cant say for sure. For all we know, she escaped and got caught later, so we should just put 'sometime after this encounter, she was caught.

If we took implications as fact and success of said act, pretty sure most of the articles would be different.
