Talk:Anko Mitarashi

Trivia
I noticed how several characters have trivia sections, and I was thinking Anko should have one as well.

... but what would one put in it? Simple, a little tidbit I discovered a little while ago. According to an interview with Kishimoto in the book "Naruto Anime Profiles, Volume 1: Episodes 1-37", Anko is, apparently, Kishimoto's favorite female character.

Just an idea, mind you. If there are no objections, I think it'd be a good idea to add this information. 69.255.133.199 00:28, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Anko pic
Whoever made this page,the Anko pic is blurred.Shreyman


 * Yes, that is the only valid image of Anko we currently have. Someone else uploaded Image:Anko-7.jpg, however they did not include proper license information and it's tagged for deletion. And as a rule of thumb, in infoboxes an image which is not tagged for deletion always has rule over one which is tagged for deletion. Also, the infobox always uses an image of the character close to their first appearance in the show (why you see an old image of naruto rather than him in Part II), and that other Anko image looks kinda new, or doesn't make a good depiction.
 * Of course, if you can find a good image of Anko and upload it with proper license information, then feel free to and we can put it into the article. A wiki is about collaboration. Instead of posting comments saying something's wrong, fix it yourself, that's why there's an edit tab at the top of the page. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Jun 26, 2008 @ 01:18 (UTC)

''Mitarashi Anko's height and weight are both incorrect. Her height stated by the First Data Book is 167 cm and her weight is 45.8 kg.''

Anko's actual age
In the image of Anko with young Orochimaru,she looks like a 12-14 year old,and Orochimaru looks like he's in his 20's.But then it would mean Anko's current age is something aoround 40 as Orochimaru is now in his 50's,right?Saiyan16 (talk) 18:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The first databook gives her age as 24. Orochimaru looks about the same at any age. ~SnapperTo 18:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Anko's page just says she's 24. does this mean she's 24 in part 1 or part 2? also if that of Anko and Oro is during her days as a Konoha genin at age ten, then Kishimoto is officially on crack as that would contradict Oro leaving Konoha prior to Yamato graduating from the academy at age 6 as he is supposed to be two years older then Anko.


 * Read the post above what you just said, first databook says shes 24, which means part 1. And that gets me confused if shes older than yamato, cuz part two hes 26. And he might have left konoha, but he still very much so experimented, But remember yamato was captured shortly after his birth so he would have had the first hokage's DNA infused in him then. I think thats what youre talking about....Shelldone (talk) 21:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Anko is 24 in the First Databook, which makes her 28 by the time of the Third Databook. We do not know exactly when Orochimaru left Konoha, when he trained Anko, or when he experimented on Yamato. --ShounenSuki (talk 00:39, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * Actually, I wouldn't put much faith in the characters' birthdays. It seems Kishimoto-sensei simply gives each member of a specific age group the exact same age, without taking the actual date in the manga into account. --ShounenSuki (talk 18:16, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Idk if this is canon or not, but on naruto.viz.com, they have wallpapers that have the exact day and month as the birthday. example: hinata december 27th, yamato, august 10th or tenten march 9th. All the other character info it has on it is true.--Shelldone (talk) 19:48, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Who were Anko's teammates?
I've been searching for this info everywhere but I really don't understant why Orochima had only one Genin student, Anko. Even if presumably, he killed off the other two, it still doesn't make sense because he's a highly suspicious character and I'm sure someone who would have taken Anko away from him and also even if he weren't suspected, they'd surely have tried to get other members to make a new team. (btw, I thought all missions, except for certain ones involving ANBUs or jonins, has to involve at least 3 people so how come there's always been missions throughout the story with just two people? Like Gai and Lee.) Anyways, just who were Anko's other two teammates? I really wish someone would make mention of it or at least a picture of them. Even Kakashi was shown in pictures with his other Genin teammates and the sensei but Anko's always been alone.
 * Reason : There was no mention of them (atleast not that i know of)..AlienGamer | Talk 03:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't heard anything about them either, why is unknown. Jacce | Talk 05:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In the official fanbook, there is a chart of genin teams. Orochimaru has three genin students there, although two are only depicted as a question mark (the third being, of course, Anko). So it appears he did have a normal three-man genin team. --ShounenSuki (talk 07:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Nawaki was in Oro's team.


 * No he wasn't. Anko was and she's nowhere near Nawaki's age. Nawaki is be ten to twenty years older than her. the time lines don't match up in the slightest. —ShounenSuki (talk 19:37, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

I know it's completely pointless and months out of date, but it wouldn't be impossible for Nawaki to have been in Orochimaru's team. No chance he was on the same team as Anko, but given Orochimaru's connection to Tsunade and the age difference Nawaki could've been in a genin team under Orochimaru. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 15:57, February 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not only would Orochimaru most likely be too young to have taught a genin team with Nawaki in it, it also seems as if a genin team is something special. We have seen dozens of genin teams in the manga and never, ever has there ever been even the slightest hint of someone having taught two genin teams. Nawaki having been taught by Orochimaru is as impossible as Chōza having been taught by Tsunade. —ShounenSuki (talk 16:34, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

There's plenty of evidence for a person teaching more than one genin team. Jiraiya taught both the Ame Orphans and Minato's team. Jiraiya also taught Naruto later and Ebisu who taught Konohamaru's team was also brought in to teach Naruto. While not in a teaching capacity Kakashi was put in charge of Team 8 during Kurenai's absense. Not to mention given the flexibility of the ninja ranking system where someone can seemingly hit Jonin before they hit puberty, and the fact that Orochimaru is known to have another pupil, his age at the time seems kind of irrelevant as he was already known as a genius of his time. I'm not saying he was absolutely Nawaki's teacher, I'm just saying it's not impossible. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 18:56, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * The examples you give are not the same as genin teams. There is no way you can compare them to teams like Team Kakashi or Team Minato. These genin teams have always been shown as something unique and special; The bonds between the members becoming close to those of family members. It's possible Orochimaru taught Nawaki outside of a genin team and even that he lead a normal team that had Nawaki in it, but there is no way Orochimaru had Nawaki in a genin team. In any way, there is nothing connecting Orochimaru and Nawaki in any way. —ShounenSuki (talk 19:20, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is the anime's fault for making it seem like Nawaki was in a team under Orochimaru but the ages really don't add up--Cerez☺ (talk) 20:33, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

It could be possible that Anko was picked to be Orochimaru's only student, as some believe (according to my research). The Land of Sea Arc stated that Anko was one of ten children to be brought to the Land of the Sea, each of them recieving a Curse Mark. Nine died, and Anko survived, making the one in ten percent chances of someone actually surviving the Curse Mark.

It could be possbile that some of those children might be Anko's teammates. But I'm on the side that Anko was chosen as Orochimaru's only student.-- Ninja Sheik  21:42, February 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * The First Fanbook pretty much proves she was part of a normal genin team, though. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:13, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

Trivia

 * The time-line for Anko's and Orochimaru's pasts don't add up. Orochimaru defected before the Kyuubi attack, 16 years ago meaning Anko would have been 12. Assuming she recieved her curse mark just before Orochimaru left, Juugo, whom the curse mark originated from, would only have been 2 at the time.
 * Thats quite intrestin, wouldn't u say....and it is true, cause when orochi went to recruit Kimimaro, he was a sound shinobi wasn't he...And Kimimaro is the one who found Jugo rite?? ..-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 19:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They are crazy. here is how to fix it. anko go with orochimaru when he defected.. or something in that filler arc where she found lost memories? how old was she was she was found again after that incident..? and for the age of jugo.. ill just assume he has been living forever and has been giving away his flesh and reverting to a young child.. and sometimes he didnt recoperate.. and the age in data book reflects physical age instead of chronological just for that specific character..Simant (talk) 19:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * He hadn't defected then, anko was given the curse mark, then orochi defected, the orochi found Kimimaro, the Kimimaro found Jugo who was the main ehh...item? behind the curse mark....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 19:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * When was it said that Orochimaru defected before the attack of the Nine-Tails? --ShounenSuki (talk 21:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * He defected aftr the attack on the 9 tails..I dunno, I just found this trivia to be intrestin, it wasn't me who came up with it....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 04:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It is really confuseing, with the timeline and all, but lets remember this is Anime and 18-Year olds often look 12, I think that Anko went back to Orochimaru, cause I frankly don't believe any of filler episodes really count as information since Masashi Kishimoto didn't make them. And going back to the age thing, Anko could of very well have been between 14 and 8 when the picture of her as a child was stated, cause she was supposed to be talented and then would have gradutated ealry (Like Itachi who did in one year) And I can't think of when Orochimaru was defected, but it seemed like it was before Nine-Tail's attacked, becase the Third Hokage was ever-so younger in the flashback of them finding out Orochimaru was doing experiments. And he was grey-haired when comforting Iruka after his parents were killed by Nine-Tails, so, once again, I think Anko made contact, maybe joined Orochimaru for a short time after his defection, and Orochimaru got Jugo and Kimimaro (And, please, it's bugging me none of you are spelling his name right) around that time, cause in my point of view Kimimaro looked about 6 or 7, and Jugo was probably the same age. But then again Simmant's theory of him giveing his flesh and turning young over-and-over again doesn't seem so unbelieveable, --LoveGunnerKuniochi (talk) 19:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Anko's Cursed Mark
Is her Cursed Marked removed now? Since Orochimaru has been pierced by Totsuka Sword?
 * we don't know whether Orochimaru being dead has any effect on the curse mark --Cerez365 (talk) 23:37, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

As far as i know the curse fuels from hate, and desire for revenge which are not typical for Anko. That's why the seal faded away, but not fully gone. on the chunin exams, Orochimaru had to restore it. Now orochimaru is dead and cannot maintain it, and cannot restore it any longer, for me is safe to assume that it will fade away as before or maybe more, but without anyone to maintain and restore it, the seal will no longer be a part of her life. it might not be completley gone, but thanks to her lack of hatred and lack of desirefor revenge the seal will fade away to a degree where it will have no particular effect on her. Diabolik.kant (talk) 22:05, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Anko's behaviour
I never ever saw in real life or in any other movie/anime no matter naruto or any other anime or any other movie at all, any one else to get so mad and upset for a portion of food, as anko was, after naruto ate her dumplings. angry voice demonic and glowing red eyes, trowing the sticks from previous portions like they were weapon needles... yet it was made kind of funny. i like this part of the 170 episode.

 * what does this have to do with Anko's article? this is not a forum --Cerez365 (talk) 22:54, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

I think a more important matter would adding to her Personality section is her feelings towards her old sensei, Orochimaru. The way she idolize him and then held nothing but pure hatred for him for abandoning her is kinda important to her personality. Anko is always so eager to kill her old mentor, seeing it was her duty to stop as a former subordinate.-- Ninja Sheik  18:32, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * When was it said she idolised Orochimaru? —ShounenSuki (talk 22:04, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * In the Land of the Sea arc. Though, her words were more like "looked up to you more than anyone in the world". Either way, it has the same meaning.-- Ninja Sheik  22:08, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, filler. That explains why I didn't recall it. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:18, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Despite being a filler or not, it's quite true. We all know Anko wanted to be like her sensei, and she really looked up to him. Her relationship with Orochimaru is connected to her personality. I mean, look how she always act when it comes to him. She's really different compare how she acts around her friends.

What happened between those two is quite important, and Anko's admiration from hatred for her sensei should be mention.-- Ninja Sheik  22:22, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is nothing in the manga that suggests she looked up to Orochimaru or wanted to be like him. —ShounenSuki (talk 01:05, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, but it's the anime. I know it was just filler, but the anime tends to add more details than the manga. I think it's worth mentioning.-- Ninja Sheik  01:08, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I never said it wasn't worth mentioning. You just said the same adoration could also be found in the manga, just less explicit, which I disagree with. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:11, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't say it could be in the seen in the manga. I mean, Anko had pretty much the same reaction when Orochimaru mentioned if she was still angry for "abandoning" her in both the anime and manga. I also think that part of Anko wants to return to her old sensei. That was clearly hinted during the meeting discussing Hayate's death, when her eyes met nervously with Third Hokage.

Look, since her admiration for Orochimaru as a child was only mention during the anime filler (which people do not believe to actually be a part of the Naruto series, therefore, irrelevant), I'll mention her admiration was only seen in the anime.

Are we going to mention this or what? If the answer is "no", I understand. My sister is harping me mentioning this, since she find it "useless" to discuss with a top-rank user and all that. She thinks I'm acting on "impulse" because for my love for Orochimaru and Anko's relationship. No matter, what happened between those two seems important to me.-- Ninja Sheik  16:40, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Although its relevance to the manga is a matter of discussion, its relevance to the anime is clear and strong. It should definitely be mentioned, although I would like to a mention of it being anime-only.
 * As for your sister, anything that happens to any character is important. Impulse or not, you are trying to make this article better by having an important fact added and you even had the decency to put it up for discussion. Those are signs of a civilised and great user. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:40, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Really...? Wow, I can't believe a top-rank user is praising me! I feel so happy right now!

So, I can mention it in Anko's page, right? Yay!

Oh, but what about her and that hint from both of the anime and manga, her nervous reaction when Lord Hokage met Anko's eye during that meeting when discussing Hayate's death? I know isn't just me, that was clear hint that Anko might have some old feelings towards her sensei. Another hint could be when she was discussing with Lord Hokage about her encounter with Orochimaru.

She didn't even reply when he asked her about having a connection to Orochimaru anymore. Anko had such a gulity expression on her face. Either she was feeling ashamed or it's a hint that she might want to go back to Orochimaru.

I want a answer before I do any editing. Though, I prefer someone like you, Suki-san, to do it. Description isn't really my strong suit when it comes to typing.-- Ninja Sheik  22:50, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Do you mean the game? It's impossible to capture a good pic of Anko in Level 2.

Since I'm talking here, can we might update her age, please? Her infobox still says 24. Anko should be 24-25 in Part I, and should be around the age of 28 in Part II.-- Ninja Sheik  18:39, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Only one of those ages is ever actually given. People can do the math to figure out her other ages. ~SnapperTo 18:54, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Still, I can't see why we can't put it in her infobox. Three years passed since Naruto left the village. Anko was 24 at the start of the series. She appeared in the filler arc for the Land of the Sea. In the beginning of that Mizuki Strikes back arc, that took place before the Land of the Sea arc, Lady Tsunade states it's been a year.

Anko should be 25 during the Land of the Sea arc. Three years plus her age from then equals 28. Though at the start of the Shippuden series, it's only been 2 and a half years, so she should be 27. Either way, Anko is currently 28.-- Ninja Sheik  19:00, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * As I said, and as you have demonstrated, people can do the math. Including the ages has caused abuse in the past; people add Part I ages for characters that didn't appear until Part II, and add Part II ages for characters that haven't been seen since Part I. ~SnapperTo 19:14, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I still don't see why we can't do the minor edit, but I'll let it go. Normally, I don't make edits unless it's reverting. I'll trust you.-- Ninja Sheik  19:19, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Incapacitated? dont you think its a little premature to say that. we dont know and incapacitation is not a for sure thing we dont even know if shes in her body. how many times has Orochimaru spit out a new body that one could be a diversion all im saying is we dont know and seeing how we have never seen her in a fight (well that one time with Orochimaru) we dont know what she is capable of plus what about her curse mark wold it not take over in distress i know they sealed it off but its still there. Deidara & Kisame both were alive at points when we thought they were dead so until its confirmed she is alive.TwinRisingDragons (talk) 14:31, November 26, 2010 (UTC)

I knew all along Anko was alive, but no one could ever guess since she looked "dead". She was unconscious the whole time, as expected.-- Ninja Sheik  21:32, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

I noticed someone listed her as incapacitated. While I sort of understand this, we do know for a fact she's alive, because Kabuto said she needs to be alive. I don't think she fits the other circumstances where we've listed characters like that: she's not in the same position as Hidan or Orochimaru, her status is known, unlike Hinata after being stabbed by the Deva Path, and she's not, as far as we know, in a coma like Tsunade was.

Hey, NinjaSheik here. I'm using a computer in school right now, so I can't log in. I want to bring up something I've been reading in the fourms lately. It said when Kabuto tucked Anko underneath his cloak, she was transported to another dimension. That could be true since when he did, I think Anko disappear. What do you guys think?-- Ninja Sheik 


 * Maybe he sealed her in a scroll? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:46, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe the butt-snake swallowed her, to be digested over a long period of time? ~SnapperTo 18:23, December 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I saw a bulge so i think she still under there. Also notice that Kabuto doesn't really move from the spot he was standing in. --Cerez365 (talk) 18:28, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Sealed her up in a scroll? Likely...not. Butt-snaked swallowed her? Gross...

And it kinda seemed perverted to me that Kabuto actually kept her under his robe! That was so weird, but I kinda find it...sweet since he was keeping her safe.

Anyway, it is true Kabuto didn't move at from the spot he was standing, but it was hard to tell if she was actually transported. The bump of the side of Kabuto was clear here, which was my precious Anko. But afterwards, the panels in the next pages were in angles where it was hard to tell.-- Ninja  Sheik  21:35, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

Weapon
I noticed in episode 30 of the original Naruto anime Anko throws some needles at Orochimaru. Am I blind or is it there?--Izuma51 (talk) 00:09, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

You mean senbon? Yeah, it's there.-- Ninja Sheik  00:11, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

I actually noticed this recently as well, while not quite senbon, she does have several thin knives in the manga which were probaly replaced by standard senbon in the anime. I'm wondering if this should be added to Anko or made a page in itself for these weapons. http://www.mangareader.net/93-55-9/naruto/chapter-50.html --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 15:48, February 22, 2011 (UTC)
