Talk:Daytime Tiger

Shouldn't someone add a picture?--Endomarru (talk) 06:14, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

name
I was wondering if 昼 in this case would be best translated as 'noon' rather than daytime? Given Gai has previously used the 'Morning' Peacock, I assume this may fit a little better? Thoughts welcome. Kazama Arashi (talk) 12:52, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Both could be proper translations in my opinion. refers to the period of time between daybreak and about 9:00.  refers to the period of time between about 9:00 and 15:00.
 * Noon refers specifically to 12:00, but can also be used generally for the period between about 11:00 and 13:00. The same goes for midday, although that is more general than noon. Daytime generally refers either to the entire period of the day that the sun shines, or to the period between morning and afternoon, from about 9:00 to about 12:00.
 * Going over the options, perhaps Midday Tiger would be best option. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:13, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps Noon Tiger could also be good option compared to the other technique, Morning Peacock's name, making them fit together, which i believ is an intend. --Gojita (talk) 00:12, August 20, 2010 (UTC)Gojitta
 * Best translation probably won't be obvious until Guy opens the eighth gate. "Night Gecko" or something. ~SnapperTo 00:22, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the kanji refers to "Midday Tiger", which still fits with Guy's time of the day-themed attacks, and implies that there is an "evening" version as well. --Ech0six (talk) 00:24, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * The translation I read was Afternoon Peacock. Wouldn't that make more sense?Revan46 (talk) 06:04, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

range
Short Ranged? It looks at least medium to me :) ZeroSD (talk) 08:34, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

tl;dr
Is it "hirudora" or "hirutora?" 98.200.252.109 (talk) 19:20, August 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's Hirudora. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

S-Rank?
I guess it is a S-rank technique because it requires seven of the eight gates to preform it and it is a unique technique that only Might Gai knows.... thoughts? DevilN (talk) 14:43, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Probably, but since this technique wasn't oficially ranked it is just a speculation, and this site is not the proper place for speculations. Shadow Abyss (talk) 16:02, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Kinjutsu?
Why is it classified as a kinjutsu? Yeah, sure, Guy calls it "a one hit kill," but it isn't officially stated. Are there any sources to confirm this?41.16.164.62 (talk) 21:59, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Eight Gates are a kinjutsu, so this is too by extension. ~SnapperTo 22:24, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can we really say the gates are kinjutsu, though? They really aren't even a jutsu at all. Neither the Front Lotus, nor the Morning Peacock were said to be kinjutsu, either, as far as I remember. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:32, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think jutsu are ever specifically said to be kinjutsu, are they? If at least one person decides it shouldn't be used, then its respective article gets a kinjutsu label. That said, if Kakashi disapproves of the Front and Reverse Lotus (and if that is fair grounds for kinjutsu), presumably jutsu higher up on the totem pole would be deserving as well. ~SnapperTo 23:03, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * The databook implies that kinjtsu are always A-rank or above. Front Lotus doesn't fit this bill. Kinjutsu are also forbidden because they are either inhuman, or extremely dangerous to the user. Morning Peacock and Front Lotus don't pose any threat, nor are they inhuman. The same seems to go for Daytime Tiger. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:12, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Kakashi seems to say something about Front Lotus being a kinjutsu in chapter 84. Confirm/deny? ~SnapperTo 23:41, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * confirmed, page 6... --Cerez365 (talk) 23:55, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Kakashi does say the Front Lotus is a kinjutsu. Sort of. In a way.
 * Actually, he says:
 * Interesting enough, Kakashi doesn't directly call it a kinjutsu. This in contrast to the Reverse Lotus, which is called a kinjutsu without any doubt, just a few chapters later. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:28, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * And here I was thinking Viz's translation was just being needlessly unspecific. The Japanese is needlessly unspecific too. ~SnapperTo 03:09, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the idea is that although Front Lotus is dangerous and taxing on the body, it isn't dangerous to the extent that it causes permanent damage. Therefore, although its use is unwise, it isn't a true kinjutsu. —ShounenSuki (talk 09:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

This jutsu is not made of chakra. Might explain it on page 5(depend where you read but he say it in the first panel of the page).

Short Range?
Can someone tell me what is classified as Short Range? Becauase the range of the attack seems pretty long to me, especially the explosion after. So I was just wanting to know if it needed to be changed or not.
 * It definitely needs to be changed. We classified it as short range last chapter, because practically all taijutsu moves are short-ranged.
 * Also, sign your posts. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:53, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Naming
Well, the proposal to change the name was made some time ago, but I see no changes. Just a reminder in case everyone forgot, not trying to be patronizing or anything. Also, in the scan I read it was translated as "afternoon tiger", if that helps with anything. Brainwasher5 (talk) 04:27, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Thomas Finlayson (talk) 04:59, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I read it translated as Afternoon Tiger as well on Mangastream. Personally, I prefer Afternoon to Daytime or Midday, as I just think it rolls off the tongue better, as well as sounding cooler, but that's just my opinion --Awesome Thy Life (talk) 19:37, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
