Re: Onmyouton and Izanagi
At the moment, there is very little information about Onmyōton. However, from what we have been told, it seems Onmyōton is indeed an advanced element created by fusing Inton and Yōton. However, it is clear Inton, Yōton, and Onmyōton work somewhat differently from the other elements, so even if we can draw the conclusion that it is an advanced element, ir might not have to be like other advanced elements like Hyōton and Mokuton.

I'm not sure about Izanagi being Onmyōton. I would have to reread those parts of the manga that deal with this technique. However, if my memory serves me well, Izanagi is indeed an Onmyōton ninjutsu. —ShounenSuki (talk 01:10, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ostrich techniques
Where exactly did you get the kanji for those? Did you go by the sound or did you use some sort captioned version of the episode? I'm looking into the literal translation of some to move them. For example, the last kanji in Ostrich Whirlwind would add the word "strike" to the technique's name, and so on. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:55, December 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you're going by the translation used in crunchyroll subs, they're not very literal. They usually simplify names. For example, the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique. They drop the bullet part of it. You can tell by the sound of a technique that there is stuff they're changing or just plain dropping. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:30, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Crunchyroll. It's a site where people can officially watch Naruto Shippūden episodes officially, for free, though it takes a week for the latest chapter to be available for everyone, it has English subbed simulcasts. I'm not sure who makes the translations. But like I said above, they make some changes to the name of stuff. Dialog, I've been told, usually goes unscathed.

 * I know them, they took over once dattebayo stopped subbing Naruto, though they did sub before dattebayo stopped. When I really like an episode, I download a subbed version from them. As long as you have a good Internet connection, you should be able to watch Shippuden at crunchyroll with no problems. Try watching an episode to see if the subs differ much.

 * Go to goodanime.net, the episodes they have are the ones from crunchyroll. At least the most recent ones are. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:08, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Looking for a kanji
I'm guessing you mean 創, although I'm not sure 'concept' is such a good translation for it. —ShounenSuki (talk 17:27, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Release Schedule for WSJ
Yes, the Weekly Shōnen Jump generally hits the stores on Mondays. The issues are illegally leaked to the web before that, hence why we're able to read them earlier. Chapter 522, for instance, shouldn't have been released until 4th January.

There are generally weeks off during important Japanese holidays, like Golden Week, New Year's, and Obon and Kishimoto-sensei often takes a break somewhere near the end of the year as well. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:25, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * The 4th January issue will be released on a Tuesday instead of a Monday, due to New Year's. We get them even earlier than usual during holidays because they are actually already printed before the holidays, just not distributed.
 * I wouldn't know exactly how they are leaked, but I'm assuming someone who works there secretly takes pictures of the issues before they are published and spreads those around. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:45, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry to intrude, but I think some of your questions are answered here. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:53, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Dajimu and Tera
The ・ can also be used as a comma of sorts. Although it's certainly possible Dajimu Tera is only one person, there are several reasons I believe it is more likely they are two separate persons. They are Root members and so far, no root member has been given a double name — Double names using a ・ are rare in the first place. Then there's the fact that Danzō actually uses both names. There is no reason he would be using the family name as well as the given name.

As for your second question, there are several sites you could use, like [rawmangaspot.blogspot.com this one] and [narutoverse.org this one]. —ShounenSuki (talk 17:07, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Japanese name for advanced elements?
I'll have to check to be sure, but I don't believe they have ever been given a proper name. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:19, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Sousatsu
As i'm not that well versed in Japanese i'll leave it you might very well be right. --Cerez365 (talk) 14:59, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Question to ShounenSuki
It's something Zabuza says to Kakashi before Kabuto kills his personality. The translation is available at the Quotes section in Zabuza's article. It means "I died as a human". Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:28, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Points after kanji
Those points are for emphasis. A bit like how italics are used in English. —ShounenSuki (talk 17:29, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: New OVA's name
There's a new OVA? —ShounenSuki (talk 21:53, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh that silly little animation. I consider it an extremely spoiler-heavy sales trick. I'll check and see if it actually has a name or anything.
 * As for 五大, it should be translated as something along the lines of Great Five. Sure, it's the Japanese name for their five elements, but that doesn't justify translating it as something like that. Translate literally if you can, liberally if you must. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:54, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: CHAPTER 524 TRANSLATIONS
Neji already uses Jūkenhō in chapter 101, so I just went with precedent there. I don't have the raw, so I cannot verify it yet. The same goes for the Second Tsuchikage's name, but the spoilers are quite clear there. It's not uncommon for 無 to be pronounced as Mū as a name. —ShounenSuki (talk 10:29, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Raiton: Kuropansa
I doubt it, the name makes no sense like that. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:57, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know the furigana is written in hiragana. I'd already seen he raw as well. Still, the name makes no real sense without the pun and the pun is too obvious. The hiragana might simply be a mistake. —ShounenSuki (talk 16:33, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and yeah, I know the term 隠れ里. Why, if I may ask? —ShounenSuki (talk 17:07, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's used, like, everywhere. It's the common term for a shinobi village, even in real life. —ShounenSuki (talk 17:17, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 隠れ里 isn't a special term? —ShounenSuki (talk 17:52, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Now why would he do that when he has a perfectly good real term to use? —ShounenSuki (talk 18:36, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Treasured Tools
操り does no just mean 'manipulating'. It can also refer to operating things like machinery or, in this case, those tools. —ShounenSuki (talk 10:44, February 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * The First databook states that the Second Hokage died during a Shinobi World War, without saying what number. This either means it was the first or the latest. The latest (the third) is impossible, so it has to be the first. If you want more proof, SWWII was the one that the Sannin fought in. It started twenty years after SWWI. If this was the same war that the Second Hokage died in, it must have lasted almost three decades and SWWI must have started years before the founding of the villages, which is impossible because the shinobi world wars are actually wars between the villages. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:08, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Chapter 527
That sentence simply means "the word one has spoken most often". In Japanese, a word modifies the word following it, so to understand a sentence, it is often handy to start at the end. In this case, we have a word. The word is spoken. It is spoke a lot. It is the number one most spoken, in fact. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:37, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 一番 – number one
 * 多く – much, many
 * 口にした – 'to do from/with the mouth': to speak, to eat, to taste
 * 言葉 – word

Re: the pot's kanji
I could've sworn that was already known... The kanji is. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:21, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure, yeah. It's heavily stylised, but still.
 * The episode counting, I never understood myself either. I asked several times, I believe, but never got a good answer. Maybe you should raise the issue again. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:26, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re: New databook?
I wish I could tell you more, but unfortunately I can't. However, judging by the previous three databooks, the fourth one should come out this year. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:01, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: The Shouton issue
The translation you gave was actually pretty accurate. This does leave the question of whether or not Shōton is an actual element. Personally, I don't care much for the anime, so this is pretty much a non-issue for me. Still, I took the time to form an opinion for you.

As it is now, I can see three possible explanations for Shōton:
 * 1) it's an entirely new element;
 * 2) it's a special form of Doton;
 * 3) and it's a non-elemental ability to crystallise matter.

Now there are several reasons why the first option is the most likely:
 * 1) it is named following the patterns for the other elements;
 * 2) it has effects and uses unlike other elements;
 * 3) and it has a unique look.

If it had been a special form of Doton, I don't think it would have been depicted as an ability unique to Guren, nor would it have been given a new name.

If it had been a non-elemental ability to crystallise matter, it really should create similar crystals every time; that really points to it actually creating crystals out of chakra alone.

So really, the most likely conclusion would be that Shōton is a new element. Either that, or the anime writers once again screwed up big time, which, I'll admit, is not altogether unlikely either.

Of course, unless Shōton is somehow given more exposition, we'll never find out the real intentions behind it. It's a shame, but a fact of life. —ShounenSuki (talk 11:00, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
