Talk:Kubikiribōchō

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)
