Talk:Kubikiribōchō

Name
Is it really called carving knife? To me, that sounds like a tool used for tree carving or something. Hakinu talk 21:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well... yes. It is actually. If you want, it could also be translated as "kitchen knife" ^^ --ShounenSuki (talk 01:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Lmao, makes it sound even scarier! Hakinu talk 01:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Dunno, if its a subbing mistake, but since HorribleSubs, copies the subs of Crunchyroll, and Crunchyroll does the offical subbing (as far as i know), is it safe to say that Zabuza's blade is called "The Executioner's Blade"?? AlienGamer | Talk 18:41, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Repaired?
I actually don't think the sword was repaired. Maybe patched up, but not repaired. This isn't speculation since the proof is visible in chapter 453 page 4 of the manga. If you look closely you'll see there's still a visible gash in it. Cyrus1 13:23, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Extendable?
When it is on Suigetsu's back it looks smaller than when Zabuza used it. Does the blade shorten when when the handle is detatched or what? The article is a bit unclear about this. Mimixcarr (talk) 04:33, September 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Since it's never shown extending, any apparent change in size is probably unintentional. Like how some of the Shichibukai fluctuate between five and ten feet. ~SnapperTo 03:56, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

OK I have noticed that Kishimoto is somewhat inaccurate at times. Mimixcarr (talk) 05:06, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

This has to be unewxtendable on purpose because there are 1 cylinder handles on book 39 but look in battle it has 3. or

seven swordsmen
the swords are said to be passed down, so will this one be passed down. is it even a sword. its destroyed

Naming
Shouldn't it be renamed Kubikiri Hōchō to match the names of all the other swordsmen's weapons? -- Fmakck - Talk - Contributions 00:27, January 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Let's keep it at one place shall we?--TheUltimate3 ~Aspect of Wiki ~ 01:03, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, No one's checked that post all day now and I thought I'd just ask the question on the knife's actual talk page. -- Fmakck - Talk - Contributions 01:08, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I saw the name on the spoiler, and was Dantoh. LosErmanos - Talk - Contributions 01:11, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Since we list all the other swords with their Japanese names, shouldn't this one be changed also.--Deva 27 (talk) 23:08, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Kubikiribocho?
Since when is the sword named kubikiribocho. I thought it was hocho which means knife not bocho.TRC14 (talk) 00:14, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's something that happens in the Japanese language called rendaku. It changes certain the pronunciation of some sounds when they're put together. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:16, January 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I prefer it hocho but oh well, I guess its also good to know since I started taking a japanese class. Thanks for the clearing it up for me.TRC14 (talk) 00:27, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Kakashi
Can we keep him out of the wielder list until he actually uses it? I hardly think that holding the sword makes you a user, otherwise Guy could count as a Samehada user. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:29, January 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * That suggestion seems logical, any oppositions? ~ Fmakck - Talk - Contributions 03:36, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

None here. Let's wait to see what happens.-- Ninja Sheik  03:37, January 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah I agree with that since so far he is only holding it. Though Samehada might be a bad example because that sword is picky about it's users. Kakashi looks like he intends to use the sword to fight against the rest of the seven swordsman. So the best thing to do is wait and see what happens in a few weeks because it might take a while before we get back to what kakashi is doing. Darthwin (talk) 03:11, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Length
Just though to add a trivia about how big the sword is.

Using a conceptual panel of Zabuza and his height of 183cm and some geometry ratio mathematic, the sword should be about 187cm in length (including the handles at full extent of 4 white cylinder).


 * Estimates aren't really a good idea. Saying it's about as long as Zabuza is tall is less problematic and should be consistent between depictions (because I doubt 187 will be the same estimate of every scene the sword appears in). ~SnapperTo 02:21, March 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess it's okay saying it's about as tall as Zabuza, although I am fairly sure it's even longer than that. I had the image imported into a graphic editor and took the respective measurement in scaled number(the math: sword length/zabuza height = sword length in conceptual/zabuza length in conceptual  it's a ratio so just solve for sword length). It's a conceptual panel so it should be drawn by Kishimoto; any on screen variation should just be animation mishap.

Double Standard
I see that the Banana Palm Fan has already been added to her infobox. To avoid a double standard, we have to either remove it from her infobox, or add this sword to Kakashi's. They've done exactly the same thing, which is appear holding the item. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:31, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Remove from hers. S im A nt 21:51, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Name1
Because I assume the name of this was changed to fit with the other swords, it has just been moved back to Decapitating Carving Knife, with no discussion or anything and I am unable to undo it. It's lock protected and everything by someone I have never seen.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 00:43, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bleh I'm just dumb.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 00:45, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I found it weird as well. By the way, I changed the section title so links to here don't link to the first topic. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:47, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I just got confused when the Protection Log changed. I was under the impression that protection logs couldn't be altered. Everything is as they should be.--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 00:49, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * That always happens when a protected page is moved, either by a sysop or a regular user. ~SnapperTo 00:56, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

Ah I see. Did not know that. It just kinda happened and I was like "wha?"--TheUltimate3 ~Keeper of Lore~ 01:45, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
