That makes perfect sense, however, I'm beginning to notice that there are not only just a few, or even some, cases where the hand seals are seen in the debut episode, or otherwise there are quite a lot of techniques where the hand seals are the same in some sources, but differ in many others. At this moment, I cannot provide any examples off the top of my head since I did not keep track of these instances, save Earth Style: Mud Wall, which I just noticed right now that the hand seals given in the article are from Shippuden episode 159, not its debut episode of episode 71. In other words, I highly doubt the instances are so far and between that they can be said to be "exceptions," but I confess that at this current moment, I do not have actual data to prove this.
