Talk:Rasengan

why do not you put it
Because those are already listed in the jutsu infobox, there's no need nor point in listing them twice. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:25, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

2 jutsus
you should also put Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan and Super Great Ball Rasengan in the list --94.183.158.12 (talk) 17:27, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * I take it you are talking about the derived jutsu list. That list is only for techniques that are directly derived from the the featured technique. Both the Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan and the Super Great Ball Rasengan are directly derived from the Great Ball Rasengan. --ShounenSuki (talk 18:46, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

oh your right i apologize

damage
can rasengan potentially kill someone or damage them severely? --75.3.231.166 (talk) 06:25, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why do you think the jutsu is A-ranked? -- (_)LTR/-\ FRCE 02:27, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Perhaps because it was explicitly said so? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 11:44, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Rasengan variations
why does there need to be a page for all of the different variation of rasengan? they are all basically the same move and most of them only get used a few times and often only in one fight. 81.98.252.151 (talk) 19:55, April 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Because it's there. ~SnapperTo 21:57, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Picture
Just throwing this out there... thats an image from part II of a jutsu from part I. - S im A nt 01:53, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Adding a derived
Shouldn't we add Sage Art: Super Great Ball Rasengan to the derived list? 69.198.244.26 (talk) 16:45, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * The list only shows up until "grandchild" jutsu, so to speak. That one is further down at the genealogical tree. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:10, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

1 Handed Rasengan should be added to the Trivia.
I stopped watching Naruto Shippuden a long time ago around before Episode 40 was out. now i'm on: Naruto Shippuden Season 2 :  Ep. 100|23:14|

and I found Naruto use a 1 handed rasengan in some illusion and almost hit Kiba, but Kakashi held him back.

Three different versions of the same attack
These three should be mentioned in the article. We have Konohamaru's golf-ball sized version; Naruto's, Jiraiya's, and Kakashi's baseball sized version; and Minato's larger volleyball sized version.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 23:10, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Konohamru's isn't perfected, Naruto needs help from a clone, and Minato's is just a bit bigger, I don't think that means they are different versions.--Deva 27 (talk) 23:18, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nothing in the manga indicates that Konohamaru's isn't perfected, Deva 27. He combined for rotation and power and made a smaller version of the Rasengan. Naruto doesn't ALWAYS need the help of a clone *again, few times Naruto has done it with one hand*, he just uses it since its faster. And Minato's being bigger also means its more powerful. There are three versions of the technique that we've seen in the manga. Tiny (Konohmaru's), Standard (Naruto's, Kakashi's, and Jiraiya's), and Large (Minato's). --SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 23:24, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * The boy's a genin with well i'm going to say regular or average chakra for his age (maybe more being a Sarutobi and being able to perform 2 A ranked jutsu in succession and what not). You expected his rasengan to be the size of seasoned users? Two of which were noted to have an immense chakra reserves? There was nothing wrong/weird about his rasengan...--Cerez365 (talk) 01:02, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Naruto said he would show Konohamaru how to make it bigger. Again, the manga has shown different versions of the same attack, first Konohamaru's tiny one, the standard one, and then Minato's larger version. --SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 01:07, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * How to make a bigger one he was more than likey talking about Oodama Rasengan. The manga has shown different versions to the same attack yes but they all used the rasengan so it's the same attack. The size of the rasengan is proportionate to the amount of chakra you can put into it. There was no "difference" in any of the attacks except for that. --Cerez365 (talk) 01:25, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * The size of the Rasengan also shows how powerful the attack is. The larger the Rasengan, the more powerful it is.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 01:27, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Except this isn't change like from Rasengan to Chōōdama Rasegan. The difference is barely noticeable. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:51, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

The first time Naruto had a successful rasengan may have been a different version. It was alot more powerful than the one Jiraya used to show Naruto. Can anyone explain? YellowPhoenix (talk) 02:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Obviously Jiraiya wasn't trying to kill the man, and naruto put his all into his.

Underwater Rasengan Formation
In the Land of Tea filler arc during part I, Naruto used shadow clones, each had a Rasengan, and put they're hands in a circle to make a whirlpool. I think that needs to be put as an Anime Only variation Your mine! Fireball Jutsu! (talk) 18:58, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * He was spinning the water with his chakra.--Deva 27 (talk) 19:00, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Colour
On the cover of Volume 52, I believe, Rasengan was shown to be white-ish in colour. 24.45.20.86 (talk) 21:58, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Its colored yellow.--Deva 27 (talk) 22:06, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yellow Rasengan picture
Do we have any real pictures of the yellow Rasengan?? Fangzntalonz (talk) 02:23, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Example. ~SnapperTo 02:29, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

???
Why is Cho Kasseiken on the derived list? 98.200.252.109 (talk) 16:17, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * That jutsu is stuck in the wiki's memory, and regrettably appears in a couple of places that it should not. ~SnapperTo 16:24, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. 98.200.252.109 (talk) 16:38, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Blue Impact???!
Sorry, but I played Ultimate Ninja 3, and there's no way that Naruto formed a Rasengan in his hand while punching the enemy!!! It's just chakra gathered in this hand, not in a spiral sphere. And besides, Naruto needs a CLONE!! And the Green BEast Naruto only uses taijutsu!! Why is such an attack put in the derived jutsu?41.17.216.229 (talk) 10:03, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

The video games like to stretch it a bit. Just look at the ougis(specials/ultimates) for Un1-Un5.Umishiru (talk) 16:47, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Why?
Why is every single stupid video game variant in the derived list? Really? Most of them don't even make sense. 98.200.125.177 (talk) 15:54, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thus why its only possible in video games.Umishiru (talk) 16:46, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

I know that. My question was(and is), "Why are they all there?" 98.200.125.177 (talk) 13:21, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Parent Jutsu?
How is the Menacing Ball it's parent jutsu? It says that the Rasengan was based on the Menacing Ball (and in my perspective) like Iron Sand is based on the One-Tailed Shukaku's automatic sand defense, so wouldn't you have to change that article to reflect that as well? Questionaredude (talk) 00:36, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * My thoughts exactly. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:05, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * there is a subtle difference, though. The Rasengan is a specific technique based off another specific technique. Iron Sand is a whole collection of techniques based off the general abilities of a jinchūriki. —ShounenSuki (talk 01:08, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I still don't think it's enough to call it the Rasengan's parent jutsu. Definitely something for the related jutsu field though. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:16, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're probably right, especially considering we don't know the exact story behind it. —ShounenSuki (talk 01:21, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

One-handed Rasengan?
At what point in, Naruto Shippūden Movie 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire, does Naruto create a Rasengan without the aid of his clones?
 * I think it's when he fights Gaara, though he might have done that when he fights Hiruko as well. It's not exactly one-handed, he uses both hands, but he definitely doesn't use a shadow clone. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:50, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I mis-worded that a bit.Questionaredude (talk) 03:19, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Trivia about the rasengan's second color
I think that should be noted in the trivia section that, according to the Kishimoto's comments in the second artbook, he has not yet officially decided the color of the rasengan and this is the reason beacuse in many colored illustrations by Kishimoto, the rasengan (and the rasenshuriken) don't presents a color blue but a yellow/orange (and this particular is more evident now that it is also visible on the cover of volume 52).

It's only my supposition but probably this indecision/difference arises from the fact that, in the version of the manga, Naruto tell Jiraya that he feel the color of his chakra to be yellow, when instead the anime version has changed the dialogue replacing the word yellow with blue (and maybe influencing the color of the rasengan if in Kishimoto's point of view, he wanted that its color was equal to that of Naruto's chakra).--JK88 (talk) 12:09, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Rasengan Inspiration
I have thought of something. How could Minato create Rasengan by observing the tailed beast ball when he only saw it once, at a day of his death. Even if he invented it at the day when he saw the TBB (Which is impossible since he mastered it in 3 years) there's no way he could tell Jiraya about it. Could it be that Minato fought the 9 tails before the incident when fighting Madara? --&lt;&lt;-Rage-&gt;&gt; (talk) 20:28, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who said he didn't see Kushina use it before? She had great control over the fox. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 20:30, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who said he didn't see any of the other eight tailed beasts use a Tailed Beast Ball? —ShounenSuki (talk 20:33, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * She had great control, but I don't believe that a person like she would ever fully transform into fox. We also know that Nine tails isn't the guy who would let you transform and use such a jutsu. What I believe is that the Rasengan isn't similar to TBB because Minato observed it, it could be that it is just a coincidence. --&lt;&lt;-Rage-&gt;&gt; (talk) 20:35, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, by the time of Minato, every tailed beast was sealed as far as I know. --&lt;&lt;-Rage-&gt;&gt; (talk) 20:36, December 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sealed where? By Akatsuki? That wasn't until several years later. Into a jinchuriki? All the more reason why he'd see it in action; ninja wars and whatnot. ~SnapperTo 20:38, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Were there any Jinjurickis that could totally control their beasts at the time? Sure, Killer Bee could be one, but I highly doubt. --&lt;&lt;-Rage-&gt;&gt; (talk) 20:40, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Killer B, Yagura, possibly Yugito or her predecessor. You don't have to have complete control over your tailed beast to be able to transform into it and used the Tailed Beast Ball. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:45, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Nine-tails Influence
Should we mention that due to Naruto Sealing off the nine-tails chakra into a separate part of his body, he currently cannot access any of his tailed forms, thus like Flapping Chidori, Demon Fox Rasengan is presumed unusable? Questionaredude (talk) 21:16, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not really, the chakra is still in Naruto, and he has better access to it than he had before. We saw him trying to transform into the Nine-Tails, the reason he can't isn't related to the chakra, but with the cooperation with the Nine-Tails. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:34, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * So what about saying, "Due to the Nine-tails ceasing to cooperate with Naruto, the Demon Fox Rasengan is presumed unusable"?Questionaredude (talk) 21:41, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * That kind of statement is unnecessary. To add that would be to add that Kakuzu can't use elemental jutsu he doesn't have the hearts for anymore, that Sasori can't use the abilities of puppets he doesn't have anymore, that A cannot play pattycake with hands he doesn't have anymore. The wiki covers any point in the series, not just the most recent material. ~SnapperTo 02:27, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Literal English
"Spiraling Sphere" or "Spiralling Sphere"?--LeafShinobi (talk) 19:18, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Spiralling, of course. —ShounenSuki (talk 19:25, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Rasengan rotation directions
It has been noted that rasengan is more efective if it is spined in one direction but as it seems it is spined in multi directions.Why is this? --Madman361 (talk) 22:52, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
