Talk:Ōtsutsuki Clan

Main Family Icon
Hey, I did this Icon to represent the Main Family Ōtsutsuki. OBS:I think it's an official symbol to appear in Movie. This symbol appears in the battle between the two families (Ōtsutsuki's). --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 02:59, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * It's very good, but how should we use it? --Lukas Pessoa Dantas (talk) 03:18, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Use as a symbol of Main Family, or even make a section on them. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 14:36, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks great, it would be even better if you add intersecting lines and some colour inside triangles.--Mecha Naruto (talk) 14:54, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can do this^^. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 15:21, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Done! Icon Colored and intersecting lines. OBS: If you want I colored the ellipse, tell me. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 15:45, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Great job on the image icon, much appreciated! we can use this, just a tiny correction, if you could rotate and make the small triangles's apex point below the big triangles' base points (no need to touch) just so they are aligned not parallel below each other, just like the one in image, I hope it's not too much :D Thanks a bunch!--Mecha Naruto (talk) 16:53, May 25, 2015 (UTC)

I was about to add this svg but unfortunately the page is protected. Meanwhile you can improve it and upload it to this wiki it would be helpful thanks :).--Mecha Naruto (talk) 17:36, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll fix it^^. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 19:56, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Done! New Icon. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 20:11, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * I made a new one for the Clan Symbol. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 23:54, May 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Where we include New Icon? I propose to leave the old symbol in the infobox while this insert it as an image in the bottom of the article with a caption.--Sharingan91 (talk) 09:41, May 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * One question: are these icons official, or are they just random fanon ? --Sajuuk talk 10:11, May 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Don't know if the colour is, but the symbol is official, as seen in the movie.--Omojuze (talk) 15:18, May 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, they are official. The colorful and just take the color. --Shodai Tsuchi (talk) 15:29, May 26, 2015 (UTC)

The movie book says the following about the mark on Toneri's back:
 * トネリが身に纏う装束には、六道の陽と陰を併せた紋様が象られる.
 * On the costume that Toneri wears, there's a design in the shape of a combined Six Paths Yin and Yang.

Branch Family Symbol
In The Last, it's been shown multiple times that the Branch Family's symbol is actually a bronze, yellowish color. Is that grounds to replace the clear/transparent one we currently have? --Jizo 悟 (talk) 23:58, July 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm also clueless as to why I see the same symbol in both the infobox and trivia section. 00:18, July 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * "If I don't, who will?!" --Jizo 悟 (talk) 10:18, July 25, 2015 (UTC)

Is there a reason we're using the branch family's symbol for members of the main family or the Otsutsuki clan in general? • Seelentau 愛 議 11:05, July 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Has more of teh cool factor.--Elve Talk Page 12:39, July 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Because the Main Branch no longer exists? --Jizo 悟 (talk) 07:05, July 26, 2015 (UTC)

Oh well, the article is in need of some updating. Also why isn't Rinne Sharingan mentioned in abilities?--Elve Talk Page 11:22, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Why're you even asking that? You know the answer very well. • Seelentau 愛 議 11:38, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I still don't get the reasoning behind Rinne Sharingan exclusion.--Elve Talk Page 11:53, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Kaguya got it from an outside source. Unlike the Byakugan, the Rinne Sharingan was never part of her bloodline. So, since no one can awaken it simply by being part of her bloodling, it's not her clan's kekkei mora. Or would you say the Sharingan is part of the Hatake clan as well? • Seelentau 愛 議 12:08, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * So your point is that she wasn't born with it and it's not inheritable?--Elve Talk Page 12:11, July 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Or at least not in its original form. Parts of it obviously were inherited as the Rinnegan and the Sharingan. But to acquire the full thing, you need to eat the chakra fruit or do whatever Madara did to awaken it. • Seelentau 愛 議 12:14, July 26, 2015 (UTC)

Or it's even possible, that someone else consuming the chakra fruit would have given different powers, not Rinne Sharingan, who knows.--Elve Talk Page 12:27, July 26, 2015 (UTC)

Momoshiki & Kinshiki confirmed as Otsutsuki's
Zai no Sho confirms that both Momoshiki & Kinshiki are Otustsuki's. --DC52 (talk) 07:34, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * There not members, there descendants like Ginkaku and Kinkaku --Sarutobii2 (talk) 07:37, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yup. They're definitely not called Otsutsuki. The term used is 末裔 matsuei, which really simply means descendant. Kinkaku and Ginkaku are 子孫 shison, a term that means descendant as well, but there's probably some kind of difference I don't know of right now. • Seelentau 愛 議 07:48, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * So why are we listing them as members if they aren't called Otsutsuki? Toneri said he was the last of his clan after all. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 07:53, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Because I like to act prematurely x) Remove it if you want~ • Seelentau 愛 議 07:54, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * So their not descendants but members now? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 15:54, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well they did introduce themselves as "Otsutsuki" and there was the whole flashback to Kaguya and such, so I would say yes.--Omojuze (talk) 15:57, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * They're distant members of the clan. They just didn't have the last name in the Zai no Sho, so I thought it would be better to remove them. But since they're even introducing themselves as Otsutsuki, the case is clear, isn't it? • Seelentau 愛 議 16:02, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Crystal clear. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 16:11, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

Do they predate Kaguya? Are they directly related to her? 3rd son? Cousin? Husband?--Elve Talk Page 16:13, August 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, once again I turned to 4chan's /a/ board for help, but the people there were huge jackasses. After much trashtalking, someone finally answered my question about the difference of shison (what Kingin are to Hagoromo) and matsuei (what Shikis are to Otsutsuki clan). Shison are mose closely related, like children and grandchildren, while matsuei can also be more distantly related. I have no idea of their relationship with Kaguya, though. • Seelentau 愛 議 16:26, August 7, 2015 (UTC)

@Elveonora, From what i understand Momoshiki & Kinshiki are Kaguyas retainers. Also someone needs to add Momoshiki & Kinshiki as members of the Otsutsuki clan on this page. --DC52 (talk) 02:47, August 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * They should be appearing already, I think. Probably those weird media filtering things at play. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:17, August 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * So...if they're descended from the Ōtsutsuki but not actually members, do we treat them the way we do Shin Uchiha and the Uchiha clan? And is there any clarification on what "Retainer of Kaguya" actually means? --Jizo 悟 (talk) 09:04, August 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Their surnames are Otsutsuki though. It probably means there's no actual Otsutsuki Clan anymore, just like there's no actual Uzumaki Clan anymore, there might be Karin, Naruto and his children, but they aren't like: "hey, lets restore the clan and become famous fuuinjutsu users again" or something. In blood and name they are extant, but as a clan defunct.--Elve Talk Page 09:39, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Rinne Sharingan
Why is this not included in the infobox? Kaguya's always only ever been shown with it. Madara going to the moon to awaken it has no bearing on the origins of Kaguya's. Going by that logic, we should presume that Indra awakened the Sharingan, or that Haggers awakened the Rinnegan. of which would mean de-listing the Sharingan and Rinnegan.

She isn't known as the originator for nothing. Pesa123456789 (talk) 19:30, August 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * Because the Rinne Sharingan isn't part of the clan, like for example the Byakugan is for the Hyuga clan. You don't get the Rinne Sharingan by being born into the clan, so it's not the clan's dojutsu. • Seelentau 愛 議 19:35, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

"Novel, Movie Only"
In the case of Momoshiki, Kinshiki and Toneri; if the movies they appeared in are confirmed to be canon, do we really need to say they're only members in certain media? Do we need the specifics of it? --Jizo 悟 (talk) 23:10, August 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, because they only appear there. The canonicity doesn't matter. • Seelentau 愛 議 23:34, August 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * If the canicity doesn't matter then why mention it at all?--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 23:36, August 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Because it's about the media a character (or whatever) appears in, not about the canonicity of the media. • Seelentau 愛 議 23:50, August 12, 2015 (UTC)

Main family emblem
Is there any reason we're not using the main family emblem in the infoboxes of Indra, Hagoromo and Kaguya? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 17:15, August 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * That is an excellent suggestion, but I think the only ones that can be confirmed as "Main" would be Kaguya, Hagoromo & Hamura, Indra & Ashura, and finally Otstsuki Patriarch. Shock Dragoon (talk) 17:28, August 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Um no, Asura was born second, so he would be branch, but I don't think it counted for those 2 anyway, after all, they and Hagoromo were the only ones from the family left on Earth.--Elve Talk Page 22:03, August 17, 2015 (UTC)

Time
Several decades after Toneri's attack, two distant descendants of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Momoshiki and Kinshiki would arrive on earth in search of the tailed beasts. After abducting Naruto and fighting him, his son and Sasuke in another dimension, they would ultimately be defeated by the three shinobi's combined effort.

This Should Say A Decade, Not Several Decades, Gaiden Itself Takes Place 10 Years After The Last, And The Movie Can't Be More Than A Year After That, lol. Actually Its Probably Less Than A Year. Bob1200 (talk) 01:23, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Ogres and misc
Their similarity to the Japanese youkai "Oni" (Ogre) might be worth mentioning. The Boruto novel directly calls Kin and Momo "Ogres" until they introduce themselves as well. They also share general similarities with the Onis like: Strange skin and hair color, one or two horns and little to no eyebrows. This is especially prominent in the movie where Kinshiki fights with a club and an axe mostly; standard weapons for onis and when Momo eats Kin he gains generally Oni like features like red skin which is the most common skin color amongst Onis, bulky build, fanged teeth etc. He generally starts to look like an Oni. (Ex: ) His name also comes from Momotarou's who was a well known Oni slayer in the folklore.

Also looks like there are 3 types of people amongst them: -The pure blood: Having bluish gray hair, and brown-ish woodlike horns and some form of higher doujutsu than the standard Byakugan. (Momoshiki, Kaguya) -The half bloods: Having mismatching horns with the same colors as their skin and having only one or a variation of their parent's doujutsu. (Kishiki, Hagoromo, Hamura) -The mixed bloods: Grandchildren and onwards adapting the appearance of the race their forefathers married into, but still inheriting their forerunners' eyes or a variation of it. (Ashura, Indra, Toneri) --Exkirion (talk) 01:33, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
Is Kaguya and her clan based off of Taketori Monogatari (竹取物語) ? Or am I completely off base? ChildofKyne (talk) 04:57, September 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Could be, for me the only think both share is name and origin. It could also be related to Sailor Moon haha.--Keeptfighting (talk) 07:18, September 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Her name and title are, it's already in her trivia btw ;)--Omojuze (talk) 11:04, September 24, 2015 (UTC)
 * Nah, you're on base. 16:38, September 24, 2015 (UTC)

Where does the article get nigh-omniscience/omnipotence from?
Why does the article state "indicating the clan members somewhat retained both nigh-omnipotence and nigh-omniscience attributes". What proof is there of the Otsutsuki clan being nigh-omnipotent & nigh-omniscient? --DC52 (talk) 07:23, January 22, 2016 (UTC)

Otsutsuki "species"
Should there be a page for them? I think its pretty significant that some of the last main villains are their own race separate from humans.--RexGodwin (talk) 07:11, May 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't think its necessary imo. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 08:24, May 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * Isn't everything already covered in the article?--Elve Talk Page 15:55, May 1, 2016 (UTC)

priesthood
Weren't Asura and Indra also priests? Ninshu and all.--Elve Talk Page 12:29, May 14, 2016 (UTC)

Puppet Technique
Is there anything that actually calls the Ōtsutsuki users of the Puppet Technique? If anything, the puppets of the moon appear to have a form of artificial intelligence and operate independently. We even see Toneri give them verbal commands at one point in the movie.--BeyondRed (talk) 17:18, June 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * Read this. At the bottom. It's FF-Suzaku's translation of parts of Retsu no Sho. It claims the origin of of puppets and its practitioners come from the Otsutsuki. 17:22, June 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * Apparently the puppets are animated and controlled by natural energy coming from the Tenseigan, although not confirmed, cause no one has been able to get hands on the fully translated The Last novel.--Elve Talk Page 19:08, June 11, 2016 (UTC)

Toneri
Can anyone take off 'anime only' from Toneri's listing in the clan member section?--Anchorman34 (talk) 21:18, August 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Due to the way "x only" tags are set up, that tag appears there because Toneri doesn't appear in the manga. If I understand it correctly, the "anime only" tag would likely disappear if in Toneri's infobox, he is checked as a character that appears in the manga.  22:29, August 30, 2017 (UTC)

Official clan emblem
"When a priest made a hand seal, a pattern emerged around the bride and groom’s feet. The double cross design—the crest of the Ootsutsuki clan—was being drawn." - The Last novel. Anyone recall seeing the emblem within the movie? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 15:30, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Can someone make a svg image of the emblem? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 20:41, March 29, 2018 (UTC)

Just a question: where’s this “main vs branch” emblem coming from? Kishimoto designer the clan symbol, was there confirmation that they have 2 emblems? Otherwise this sun(?) icon should be treated as other information, not take over as an official symbol.—Cerez 365  (talk) 18:10, April 3, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm unsure if there's information in Retsu no Sho regarding them, but the distinction of emblems from my understanding stems from this this scene. From memory, the only mention of the emblems in the novel is from the same scene - "A great number of soldiers began a war. A battle flag with a crescent moon and sun was being waved". --Sarutobii2 (talk) 04:44, April 7, 2018 (UTC)

Celestial beings?
Is there anything that states they are, or are they Aliens? There is a clear difference. Celestial leans more to Divine where as Aliens are just beings not of Earth. JamesSenpai (talk) 20:06, April 30, 2018 (UTC)
 * It's the term Toneri used to refer to Urashiki. He also referred to them as Gods in an older episode. I was the one who came up with the alien classification, although people changed it to celestial being. I would say celestial being is just a description... but then again, so is alien, rather than a name of a specific race. I'm fine with both alien and celestial being. And I don't agree that celestial has to refer to divine/magical beings. Hell, it wouldn't even be wrong to refer to celestial beings, assuming they were ones, as aliens.

Celestial being = being originating from space, unearthly. Alien = outsider, stranger, foreigner, so still correct, even though in this case it mostly refers to a space alien.--Elve Talk Page 20:30, April 30, 2018 (UTC)

Information is this article is factually outdated and should be split
1. Kaguya was not the "clan's leader". At least not the main clan. 2. "clan members coming to Earth to steal her chakra" is wrong. They are coming to RECLAIM the crop, after she defected from the main clan. 3. Kaguya didn't "grow jealous that they inherited some of her power", but engaged them after they interfered with her God Tree plan. 4. There are main clain and Earth-based clan, who then departed to the Moon to form the Moon-based clan. They have seperate histories and should be split into different sections.

--GTA6v1 (talk) 09:59, August 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Although you're right in some aspects, some are still erroneous
 * 1. Actually, she was. The information comes from the fourth databook where it's stated that she arrived on the Earth with her clan as a leader. This clan (or at least a part of it) later immigrated to the Moon after Kaguya was sealed and Hamura became a new leader. Kaguya filler in the anime messed up with the storyline and showed it as if Kaguya arrived alone which isn't true.
 * 2. That's more or less true with the updates given in Boruto.
 * 3. Again, according to the databook and manga, the jealousy was the actual reason. The interference in the God Tree plans is also something anime filler completely messed up with.
 * 4. The Moon-based clan is still a descendant of the main clan. We know little to nothing about this "man clan" to make a separate section for it Ravenlot 27 (talk) 10:23, August 6, 2018 (UTC)
 * Just my personal opinion, but we should at least split the original pure Otsutsuki and Moon Otsutsuki in the article. The reason for this, is that the pure Otsutsuki (like Kaguya, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki etc.) supposedly split into main and branch families, but Hamura's descendants split into their own main and branch families, independent on the pure Otsutsuki, meaning Hamura's main family isn't the same main family that Urashiki spoke of etc.--Elve Talk Page 10:57, August 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * 1. Obviously she was the leader of the clan on Earth. But we should make it clear that she was not the leader of the space clan.
 * 3. Even if "jealousy" was the official reason, it was merely an in-universe legend. Maybe we can rephrase it to something like "Legends say Kaguya grew jealous that they inherited some of her power, while Black Zetsu in the anime indicated that she was interfered by her sons and decided to engage them".
 * 4. But we should make it clearer about the seperatation of the main clan and the Moon clan. Many parts in this article merely says "The Ōtsutsuki clan branch family's symbol." or "the clan's civil war", which was the history of the Moon clan, not other clans in general.
 * --GTA6v1 (talk) 12:06, August 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Splitting stuff is a terrible idea. Pretty much every article in the wiki that details something's history lists it chronologically. Different forms of the Otsutsuki existed and acted at the same time, making so that splitting their histories would create unnecessary back and forth in the article. Manga and databook still trump whatever that awful filler arc said. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:17, August 6, 2018 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it still be good to clarify that space Otsutsuki who have main and branch families aren't the same Otsutsuki who lived on the Moon and had also their own main and branch families? Even though they use the same clan name, they are pretty much distinct, besides sharing ancestry.--Elve Talk Page 19:21, August 6, 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact the moon Otsutsuki are explicitly said be be from Hamura's side makes it clear it's a different group. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:33, August 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Doesn't that mean that Boruto anime actually retcons the Databook itself? Since that the former is actually now considered K-canon according to Narutopedia: Canon policy. AnonymousAnomani (talk) 20:12, December 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * How come? Are you referring to her not being the leader of the entire clan, but rather just having been leader on Earth? That's not really a retcon, since it wasn't elaborated upon. The bigger mystery is what happened to the other Otsutsuki she arrived with, according to 4th databook. Either they retconned THAT or they all departed to the Moon with Hamura and formed the first generation of Moon Otsutsuki along with human hybrids and simply inbred together with the rest.--Elve Talk Page 12:40, January 1, 2019 (UTC)


 * Either way, we know now based on information that the clan that accompanied her to Earth was only a faction of the main clan, which is latter addressed in the anime. Without given any further context from the databook, What we're left is a plothole. According to an interview, Kishimoto-sensei originally envisioned the then-Boruto movie as a manga, yet ultimately chose to write a screenplay, thereby having to cut alot of content due to time constraints. Due to the movie's success, the content which was cut from the movie could later be addressed in the anime, which would be either retconning or expanding upon the databook itself.AnonymousAnomani (talk) 17:03, February 6, 2019 (UTC)

Clansmen Arriving With Kaguya, Revisited
So in light of the new revelation that the Ōtsutsuki typically work in pairs, I decided to take another look at the claim that Kaguya arrived on the Earth with a number of her clansmen, and these were the "Ōtsutsuki" that later followed Hamura to the moon. The only time this is ever mentioned or implied is in Jin no Sho's Shinobi Compendium; nothing in the manga, movies, or even filler ever implies that Kaguya had companions (and The Last's depiction of Hamura's clansmen as fair-skinned humans arguably goes against it). But if you take another look at the wording used in the fourth databook (primarily going off of FF-Suzaku's translation here) it's actually quite vague. It just states that the "Ōtsutsuki Clan" arrived from another world in search of the fruit, and then that Kaguya ate the fruit. It never really says anything like "Kaguya arrived on Earth with the Ōtsutsuki clan", like what the current article claims. If you want to get technical, surely the (alleged) leader of the Ōtsutsuki clan arriving on Earth would count as the Ōtsutsuki clan coming for the fruit, no?--BeyondRed (talk) 22:20, June 10, 2019 (UTC)
 * Even if it were just the two of them, the statement is technically still true, that Kaguya did arrive with someone else from her clan. But there still could have been more than just the 2 of them, as technically, Momoshiki and Kinshiki came along with Urashiki canonically and that makes 3, so the 2 is not a rule, rather there are special 2 that make a pair while the rest might be just followers. But agreed about the Hamura part, I have no idea where people got it from that these supposed to had arrived with Kaguya clansmen later departed with Hamura to the Moon... while still possible, it's speculation. For the likelihood, Hamura was half human-half Otsutsuki, most likely had sex with a human female, or multiple human females most likely, since he could populate the moon so easily AND leave behind enough on Earth for the-yet-to-be-Hyuga clan to happen. As you say, most of his descendants look very human, with only some of them even having pale skin. The first moon Otsutsuki were most likely Hamura's equivalent of Asura and Indra in sense of having a human female as their mother and Hamura a half breed as their father. If I understand how genetics work ever so slightly, then some of the first moon people looked completely human like Asura and Indra, while others looked like Hagoromo and Hamura.... it's just a case of which side becomes more prevalent in the generations. Most likely they then practiced incest on the Moon and according to The Last novel, once in a while, would kidnap a Hyuga female from their Earthly relatives (rapists!!!), most likely to purify the gene pool and prevent physical and mental degeneration. My point is, that looking at Hamura's descendants, it's unlikely that pure Otsutsuki were part of the first moon people and if any, then just very few. Second, it's extremely unlikely that these supposed to had arrived with Kaguya other Otsutsuki would willingly follow Hamura to the Moon after he rebelled against and sealed away their clan leader--Elve Talk Page 07:04, June 11, 2019 (UTC)

Wood Release kkg
Why do we list that as a clan thing? If I recall correctly, the reason why we don't list Rinne Sharingan, is because for us to consider something to be a clan thing, it requires at least 2 instances within the clan, while Kaguya is the only confirmed Rinne Sharingan Otsutsuki user. I get that we have Asura in the anime, but literally no one else, so why list that? Oh, is that about Momoshiki using Wood Release? Was that ever truly confirmed tho?--Elve Talk Page 09:11, October 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan isn't listed because this isn't something she manifested naturally, it was a consequence of eating the chakra fruit. Listing it would be like adding Sharingan to Hatake and Shimura clans because Kakashi and Danzo had it transplanted. Anime Asura's Wood Release didn't have such interference, all that happened there was everyone else sharing chakra with him kinda like Naruto did with the ASF in the war. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:56, October 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * Himawari has the Byakugan naturally, but Byakugan isn't listed in the infobox of the Uzumaki clan. The reasoning there is that a lone user doesn't constitute associating the clan with the kekkei genkai. I'd assume the same would apply here. ~SnapperTo 01:00, October 18, 2019 (UTC)
 * There's also the fact that Asura didn't demonstrate Wood Release until after Hagoromo gave him his power, making it unclear whether it's something he possessed "naturally" in the first place. Madara with Six Paths Senjutsu was able to use Storm Release, but it obviously isn't a natural ability of his clan. Not sure if any of those Studio Pierrot blogs ever clarified this at all, but I somehow doubt it.--BeyondRed (talk) 02:43, October 18, 2019 (UTC)
 * Byakugan I don't know the exact rationale of why it's not listed in the Uzumaki. I'm sure there were discussions, I was probably even part of them, but I don't remember. I'd have to go through the relevant talk page archives. My guess is some mix of "we don't know enough" and "she manifested it because of her Hyuga heritage, meaning it's still Hyuga". Madara having Storm Release gets listed in his infobox, but not in the Uchiha clan infobox, same as Rinne-Sharingan for both Uchiha and Otsutsuki clans. Asura's Wood Release being a consequence of Six Paths Senjutsu is something I can get behind if that's the case since it's similar to Madara's Storm Release, which would mean Wood Release gets taken out Otsutsuki clan kekkei genkai. I used to go through the pierrot blogs at the time, and I never saw any explicit explanation, the most I saw was when he got the specific names for Sasuke and Naruto's last chakra avatar enhancements. Momoshiki with Wood Release, as far as I'm aware, is novel-only through jutsu absorbed from Katasuke's Kote. His Inukai Takeru no Mikoto is, as I understand, akin to Kabuto's Inorganic Reincarnation, so while the constructs he created were made out of the God Tree's stump, they're as much Wood Release as the spikes Kabuto impaled Edo Itachi with were Earth Release.

 * Well, I remember the 'rationale' that one user with a certain clan name isn't enough to list the entire clan as users of the said user's ability. Also when it comes to the Uzumaki, it's quite complicated since there is no Uzumaki Clan to speak of anymore, only Uzumaki family, those being Naruto, Hinata and their spawn. So I don't think the Byakugan should be listed as an Uzumaki Clan thing, since there is only 1 character with Uzumaki name using it and also because the clan is extinct officially. Technically, Naruto should have been Namikaze and there is no evidence that he has made any attempts to restore the Uzumaki Clan or that he even cares about their legacy like sealing techniques and whatnot. But on topic, if Momoshiki's novel Wood Release tech was Kote thing and the dragon doesn't count as a Wood Release tech, then it should be removed.--Elve Talk Page 09:42, October 18, 2019 (UTC)
 * In the anime, Momoshiki forms his Inukai technique out of Sasuke's Chibaku Tensei rubble before he makes it from the God Tree, so it's at the very least not wood-exclusive. And yeah, the only time Wood Release is mentioned is when it's fired at him from the Kote and absorbed, so that's not a natural ability either.--BeyondRed (talk) 17:24, October 18, 2019 (UTC)

separation and clan emblems
Basically, there are 2 separate Otsutsuki Clans. The original celestial beings, with confirmed main and branch families and then Kaguya's descendants. Is Kaguya originally from the main family or the branch family? Regardless, she started her own branch. Hamura should have been the branch family, yet he became the leader of hybrid Otsutsuki which then split into its own main and branch families on the Moon. What I'm saying is that both the main and branch celestial Otsutsuki branches might consider Kaguya's/Hamura's main and branch families to be just branch family and they are not the same.--Elve Talk Page 09:16, October 17, 2019 (UTC)
 * Bump, also isn't the ACTUAL original Otsutsuki Clan emblem what's shown in the Otsutsuki Clan ruins/on the turtle artifact before activation, circles in square shape?--Elve Talk Page 07:24, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * I brought up the matter of the clan's emblem as mentioned in the Last Novel in a above discussion. As for the circles, the Nara clan was confirmed to have 2 clan emblems so it's possible it's also a clan emblem. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 11:25, October 23, 2019 (UTC)

Kekkei Mōra
Since we list Kaguya's Byakugan and Hagoromo's Rinnegan as Kekkei Mōra in their infobox as they're both not classified as a Kekkei Genkai users, should we also list the doujutsu of Momoshiki, Kinshiki and Urashiki as KM? --Sarutobii2 (talk) 00:13, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Considering that kekkei mora is never defined/explained in the series, that seems potentially erroneous. Their dojutsu need to be classified as something for infobox purposes, and I'd say calling them kekkei genkai is the lesser evil. If and when their dojutsu are referred to as kekkei mora or if kekkei mora is ever explained, then the infoboxes can be corrected. ~SnapperTo 03:35, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, neither Rinne Sharingan or Rinnegan are genetic if you think about it. All powers seems to originate from chakra fruits, but some get passed down the generations (kekkei genkai) and some do not (Rinne Sharingan, Rinnegan etc.) that being kekkei mora, possibly.--Elve Talk Page 07:07, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * Kekkei Mora isn't genetic. • Seelentau 愛 議 14:55, October 23, 2019 (UTC)
 * That's my point :)--Elve Talk Page 19:17, October 23, 2019 (UTC)

At the very least Urashiki's Rinnegan should be listed as a Kekkei Mōra as he uses Yomotsu Hirasaka through it.--Sarutobii2 (talk) 08:13, November 5, 2019 (UTC) I never saw Momoshiki do that, wasn't it Urashiki who did that for him?? FlatZone (talk) 20:01, November 6, 2019 (UTC)

Alien clan symbol
So weve seen the same symbol be used twice in reference towards the original, alien clan in the White Zetsu ruins and for the turtle artifact thing, can someone make that symbol here? and possibly update the main icon header. Since the original clan is the more important one overall compared to the main, human descendant one.--RexGodwin (talk) 10:09, October 31, 2019 (UTC)
 * I already brought this up before.--Elve Talk Page 16:43, October 31, 2019 (UTC)

Ok. Well is there like one specific guy who does the symbols? Should bring it to their attention.--RexGodwin (talk) 19:23, October 31, 2019 (UTC)
 * Bump, imo we should at last resolve this and imo split the article's sections in 2, one talking about celestial beings and the other section talking about human descended Otsutsuki. I mean, come on, it's a mess. Technically, Hagoromo should have been the head of hybrid Otsutsuki and main family, with Hamura being branch family, but he gave the leadership over to Hamura, thus Hamura became the head and his Moon descendants split into main and branch families. But stating Hamura or even Kaguya to be head of the Otsutsuki Clan is dubious. Was Kaguya the actual Otsutsuki princess or is she a self proclaimed princess/the title was given to her by worshiping humans? Was she the head of all Otsutsuki or just those on Earth? And Hamura was clearly nor the head of all Otsutsuki, only the hybrids. Point being, say it turns out that for example Isshiki or some other male or female Otsutsuki is the main/true/actual whatever leader, the infoboxes will then say that both Hamura and him/her are heads, so some changes need to be made.--Elve Talk Page 09:18, November 1, 2019 (UTC)

Yeah it’s a bit of a headache when we have two related but still separate clans. Can we use tabs for the info box image? One for the alien clan symbol, and one for the human/hybrid one?--RexGodwin (talk) 14:56, November 1, 2019 (UTC)
 * I think a separate article altogether would be too drastic, but in my humble opinion, I think that in the infobox, we should use the alien Otsutsuki symbol, with the human descended Otsutsuki main and branch family symbols shown either in tabs or in the article itself.--Elve Talk Page 16:01, November 1, 2019 (UTC)

Page reformat
The page is kind of confusing when you come here from somewhere like Kaguya's page because it doesn't really differentiate between the interdimensional clan, the earth clan, or the moon clan. There should at least be individual sections detailing each, if not a full page split for the branch clans seeing as they really have almost nothing in common with the interdimensional clan after Hagoromo and Hamura. Jeov (talk) 16:49, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I have stated as such as well. When I made this article 7 years ago (wow, time sure goes by) I had intended such separation, but I knew many would have opposed this etc. so I kept it simple. Now, we have several types of Otsutsuki:
 * original Otsutsuki (Kaguya, Isshiki, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki) who most likely just like the Hyuga, themselves split into Main and Branch families, even though we have no idea who comes from which, but we got a confirmation that Isshiki was higher ranked than Kaguya, meaning her princesshood status became a thing after she had settled on Earth, thus I speculate Kaguya was in fact from the branch family, but it's of no consequence either way.
 * hybrid Otsutsuki:
 * (Hagoromo, Hamura)
 * and their descendants (Toneri and all other of Hamura's descendants who went to the Moon, Asura and Indra)
 * the mess that Jigen, Kawaki, Code and Boruto are, who have gotten 'Otsutsukified' for lack of better terms, in most likelihood making them hybrids closer to Asura and Indra...
 * So yeah, the word 'Otsutsuki' doesn't define a single thing or group anymore, it never has for that matter, as we have original true Otsutsuki with different social orders and hierarchies, hybrids, descendants who still call themselves Otsutsuki, descendants who no longer carry the Otsutsuki name (you could argue Uchiha, Senju/Uzumaki and Hyuga are still Otsutsuki to some extent) and then those who get transformed into Otsutsuki through Karma. Some changes are due imo.Elve Talk Page 17:29, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Boruto and Kawaki are now each over 80% Otsutsuki, literally. While Indra and Asura were less than half each. Hagoromo and Hamura were half. So though they weren't born Otutsuki.. by blood they ARE Otsutsuki.. more than Hagoromo and Hamura in fact. So I do agree things need to be changed on the page.
