Talk:Shikamaru Nara

It appears that this page was coppied from Wikipedia. That's not a bad thing, but how it was is. It appears that someone just highlighted all the text of the page and then pasted it here. That shows a bad knowledge of how a wiki works, the person should have hit edit, copied the source, and then pasted it here, adding a Sources section to the page. The current content should be replaced with the text from Shikamaru Nara, then modified with a sources section and whatever there is to change to make the content fit in with the wiki.

 * Sigh, I know. I dislike it too. Please people, if you are going to use Wikipedia make sure that you don't copy the enitre thing. It gives more work to the rest of us. -LoneWolf 5
 * No, copying all relevant content in an article is ok. You just need to edit it properly to fit in the wiki here. Dantman (Talk) 01:00, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I think we need to talk about the earings that Asuma gave his team, and merge it with his last smoke, to get the emotional feel, that is why shikamaru is a main character. Shikamaru1994 01:47, 14 July 2008 (UTC)Shikamaru1994
 * Eh? Emotional feel? We're a wiki holding information on facts, not a fansite trying to write stories. Emotional feel suits stories, not articles. We're here for information, the series itself handles emotional feel. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion  Jul 14, 2008 @ 01:50 (UTC)

I'm sorry, this is to display information, how are the people supposed to understand what kind of connection they had...Shikamaru1994 01:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)Shikamaru1994

Godfather
Is it safe to assume that Shikamaru is the godfather of Asuma's unborn child? Asuma did entrust his baby to Shikamaru after all. PheNOM 18:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC) PheNOM

The personality article needs to be edited under where it says "after his battle with "Kakuzu"=> It's really his fight with Hidan. And although it's only stated in the anime it should be noted under his abilities that Shikamaru has been requested to be one of the 12 Guardian Ninja. It'll better explain how far he's come and why he's one of the only 3 to have defeated an Akatsuki singlehandedly. ItachiZero 18:32, 6 December 2008 (UTC)ItachiZero

Akatsuki Trivia
Shikamaru only fought Hidan after a long battle with his friends so he only finished off Hidan by himself. Looking at it this way Shikamaru is exactly the same as Naruto. So if Shikamaru is considered to be one of the only people to beat an akatsuki member single-handedly then so should Naruto

I don't think that's true, Shikamaru made the whole plan and Kakashi didn't fight Hidan so long... --UchihaGlenn 15:43, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Wind Release
I think that Shikamaru has Wind-natured chakra. I know it doesn't say that anywhere, but technically speaking, Shikamaru got some chakra into Asuma's wind-style chakra knives...--NejiByakugan360 00:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Those knifes are just chakra sensitive, they absorb the nature of the users chakra. Jacce 07:30, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

When did he start playing shogi?
Isn't it strange how Shikamaru speaks of how fun shogi before they become ninjas (in Choji's flashback in the Sasuke Retrieval arc, episode 114)? He's wearing the headband on his arm when Asuma introduces him to shogi (flashback in shippuden episode 80), and then he calls it 'troublesome'. It's not very likely that he liked it before they became ninjas, stopped liking it, and started liking it again when Asuma taught him about it, is it? Hakinu (talk) 16:39, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Nature Manipulation?
Since Shikamaru was able to do a Shadow Paralizing Jutsu with chakra blades, does that mean he's "shadow" natured? Kakashi did say that there were light and dark jutsu. And Jiraiya said that there were six types of nature manipulation (light and dark are probably a "neutral" nature). Should that be clearified somehow? ~Forlong
 * The problem is that we don't know anything about it, so we have to wait. Jacce | Talk 05:03, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Lazy Guy!!!!
well...this is just random stuff but....I think that if there were computers in Naruto, then Shikamaru would be TOO lazy to even log in his online account!!!!!!!!!!!
