Talk:Wood Release: Cutting Technique

Black Rods
Since this will be brought up. The black rods in question are on the following pages of chapter 605: 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15Umishiru (talk) 05:50, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Have to doubt those were chakra receivers unless Madara put them in him. As far as we know those are only afforded to the Outer Path, so the information shouldn't be mixing with this in that manner.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:28, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Kanj and name?
err, I don't know about the correct Kanji yet, but 挿す sasu means to insert, 挿し木 sashiki describes this. 刺す Sasu means to pierce. I think Kishimoto-sensei made a pun here, using 刺し木, which means piercing branch/wood/whatever. Seelentau 愛議 08:49, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Anoooo. You sure that Spiral Zetsu called the technique's name? One scan house has it and the other simply has "wood release". Though it's odd I'd prefer to trust Mangastream because I don't know how Obito would have learned to use a specific Mokuton technique already...--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:28, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, but personally, I would never trust mangastream. They f-ed up way too often for me to see them as a good translating group. They only make HQ images, that's all. That said, we can only wait for the raw, though I don't think a fan translator would come up with such a pun, since it would somewhat destroy his credibility, huh?

 * Dunno. They've been known to have a spark of ingenuity every once in a while. Still the raws or even a spoiler script would be welcomed.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 11:01, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Mangastream used to have a reliable translator, his name was HisshouBuraiKen. Used to rush a bit and spice up technique names now and then to make them sound cooler, but generally delivered solid translations. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:58, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

From the raws, it would appear that the technique was actually named. However, this makes me feel that Spiral Zetsu was involved in the "process" a bit more than people think/can see.--Cerez 365 ™(talk)
 * In that case it should be renamed to Wood Release: Inserting Tree Technique or so. As I said, 挿し木 describes the cutting of plants. The pun still exists, it's not so deep anymore, though. Seelentau 愛議 21:48, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Maybe we should make it similar to Earth Release: Sandwich Technique. Put the name with the pun, list the different literal name, and then explain the pun? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:41, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * uh, there's no pun in the Sandwich Technique, that name's just a Gairaigo. Here we have 挿し木, which describes the cutting of plants and is literally translated to Inserting Tree. It may or may not be a coincidence that one could change 挿 to 刺, which changes the inserting to piercing, thus fitting the technique's usage. It's up to you if you want to write down this homophone, but there are plenty of other homophonic Kanji. Seelentau 愛議 00:21, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Considering that the term for this in English is actually "cutting", it might be the case to call this "Wood Release: Cutting Technique". I would also not be surprised if come next volume, the kanji for this technique is changed to make the pun more apparent. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:31, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

All of them
i was just wondering how we know that the technique consisted of all three times it was;supposedly, used? to make that clearer; how do we know the move wasn't just the instance he threw the sword? is it because basically they were all the same thing? and as a side note the hand seal used wasn't ram it was just a basic seal. although that doesn't really matter. sleuther (talk) 6:16, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
