Talk:Lightning Release: Lariat

Image edit war
I took a look at the policy and the raw file from mangahelpers. That one image i found is merely a cleaned up raw scan. Also it shows the technique in action which, considering that it is Taijutsu based, is a far better choise. The other one only shows a pose of his Jinchurki transformation. --Gojita (talk) 14:05, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Gojita
 * I suggest u get a RAW pic of that then....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 14:07, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a spread page scanned in a horrible way. You can really see the fold in the middle. I doubt that would be any better. --Gojita (talk) 14:16, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Gojita
 * Then gimme a few hrs...I'll look in sum different places....Whats the chapter again? ..-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 14:17, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 413 Page 10 --Gojita (talk) 14:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)Gojita

Actually, it's quite likely that the two "horns" around his hand are the technique itself, and the attack is just a single use of the technique. A bit like how Blade of Wind creates a blade of wind-natured chakra. If this is the case, the current image shows the technique far better. --ShounenSuki (talk 14:19, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The horns :S??....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 14:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So is a new pic necessary?? Cause I dont wanna find one, crop it, upload it, and have it deleted....-- AlienGamer--Talk-- 14:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The technique seems to be those chakra horns formed around his left hand. It's really rather obvious. The technique is called Lightning Plough Hot Sword and has is considered Killer Bee's eight sword. You don't call running towards someone and striking them a sword. Also, the name of the technique was said when he formed the horns around his hand, not when he struck Sasuke.
 * As it is, a new image is not needed. The one we have right now is perfectly fine and accurately shows what the technique is. --ShounenSuki (talk 15:03, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Lightning
Would this be labeled as lightning release when Ē uses it Vik0z0z (talk) 00:17, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Cant Lariat be lighting based too
If Ē can use lariat single handedly can it be classified as lightning based too?--TheBlueBlur (talk) 00:18, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Type
Since A was able to do it, and he's no jinchūriki, I feel that the Tailed Beast Skill should be removed from this technique. Thoughts? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:32, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm beginning to think we shouldn't list as Lightning Release as well, because Bee replaced the Lightning chakra with tailed beast chakra. I think we should list it as a taijutsu that simply uses loads of chakra to make it more powerful. Same applies to Double Lariat as well.

 * I agree.--Deva 27 (talk) 20:03, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same... it's only a tailed beast skill when it's unique to the host not with so many variants. But you should make a note of the variations at least when you change it--Cerez365 (talk) 20:17, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * They've been there for a while already, so there isn't much to change. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:41, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Didn't this chapter confirm that Lariat is a technique Raikage's master?
That's what I got from reading the chapter. Am I mistaken?--NaruHina fan (talk) 19:49, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * It said that they all have partners, not that they all know the Lariat.--Deva 27 19:50, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Being able to use Lariat was the test to see if they're compatible with A. For all we know, the test for the Third Raikage's partner could have involved ninjutsu instead of taijutsu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:19, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
