Talk:Human Body Shedding Technique

Parent Technique
I've been thinking - shouldn't Orochimaru's Body Shedding Technique be classified as the Parent Jutsu of Kabuto's Human Body Shedding Technique?... D!ABLO-32
 * I don't think so. The Body Shedding technique is Orochimaru's version of the Body Replacement Technique. This one's more like Kabuto's new "real body"--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 13:38, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

kabuto's human body shedding question
following in with the line of shedding skin is it safe assume that kabuto sheds once more to regain "human form"? i say this because after he escapes kurotsuchi and them after capturing yamato he is seen with a naga-like body but later when he and tobi set out for war kabuto has his glasses and cloak which before when he shed his skin he left behind, and it's ridiculos to believe that he returned to the island once more to retrive them, so does this mean he sheds again to regain his "human form"?98.26.240.179 (talk) 09:52, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think his body comes complete with a new pair of glasses. I'm not even sure how he re-assumes a human form since we've never seen it, we can't assume that in the article.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:13, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

It's the same technique as Orochimaru has
What makes it it's own technique ? I see no difference --Elveonora (talk) 15:05, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * The difference is mentioned in the article --S@lil Uchiha Symbol.svg (T@lk) 15:07, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

That's not an actual difference but more like one's opinon/speculation ... the actual workings are the same --Elveonora (talk) 15:14, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Um, because Kabuto sheds his human self, revealing a naga. I've never seen Orochimaru do that. Skitts (talk) 15:20, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Orochimaru's "true form" is made of many small white snakes and a head while that of Kabuto's is a single snake with scales and hands. I'm talking about the workings of the technique, a new body comes out of their mouth.--Elveonora (talk) 15:24, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

I initially thought to agree to merge the two but given that this technique is actually an elaborate body replacement technique and we've never seen Orochimaru use is and emerge as something else, I don't think we should. We can at best ride it out until databooks or something else avails us of it.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 17:11, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

I see, but what do you mean by "emerging as something else" ? --Elveonora (talk) 19:55, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's called Orochimaru style body replacement or something like that yes? When Orochimaru used it he re-emerged in a human form not as a snake. That's where the difference lays. The way Kabuto does it seems as if he's literally shedding his human body sorta like when Orochimaru spat him "true" form out when Sasuke confronted him.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 21:25, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

He is not shedding his human body, both of Orochimaru's and Kabuto's snake and human froms are one and the same body they can switch between. He left behind just skin not body --Elveonora (talk) 21:41, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with merging the articles, always thought it was the same thing myself. Arrancar79 (talk) 21:54, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, while I like the name "Body Shedding", wouldn't "Orochimaru-style Body Replacement Technique" be the closest thing to a canon name for it? Arrancar79 (talk) 21:59, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
