Talk:Kamui

Similar to Madara
Very similar to Madara uchicha's technique but on a lower level.
 * Not necessarily the same technquine, speculative to say anything other than they're both space-time ninjutsu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:39, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Reply: I also noted that, i think there's a relaton between those techniques, remember that tobi told him once not to bother using it against him. There are just two facts of why he told him that... the technique is similar to the one he uses or he just as a sharingan usar knows how to avoid it.

loss of eyesight
does kakashi suffer the same side affect of using the mangekyou sharingan? does he gradually lose his eyesight? 75.2.217.57 (talk) 07:46, December 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Third Databook translation by ShounenSuki, 'The "Mangekyou Sharingan" is a doujutsu that, with continuous usage, burdens the user with the loss of their eyesight. Since this is the source of "Kamui," using it in rapid succession puts Kakashi's body at risk as well.' So maybe he *is* losing his eyesight, it's just that his character isn't as dramatic as Sasuke's or Itachi's so Kishimoto doesn't emphasize this. --Kiadony (talk) 11:33, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * That, OR Kakashi, by having received his sharingan eye from Obito, instead of it being his own eye since he was born, got him a different form of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, without it having any "greater" powers, like Madara's, but still keeping his vision when using the Mangekyo Sharingan techniques.

Name
When was this technique named in the mange? I've only read the Viz translations, so did it get left out? Or was it in a databook?--Enoki911 (talk) 05:57, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Third databook.Saimaroimaru (talk) 07:09, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Third databook
Third databook (kamui entry) says "If one spends a lot of time and trains one's chakra over and over again, this technique can be invoked" (link). Shouldnt it be mentioned in article? Honza8D (talk)


 * I would think so. I'll add it to the trivia, and if anyone finds anything wrong with it, they can remove it. ~ NOTASTAFF Ryun Uchiha (Ten Tailed Fox, Getsueikirite-taichou) (talk) 15:09, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

That was stated in the context of Kakashi learning the technique.NoJutsu (talk) 20:43, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Barrier?
Doesn't this technique just collapse a point in space that Kakashi focuses on? Where did it say he creates a barrier? Does it mean he creates a barrier around his targeted object and then have the barrier teleport away? Is that what it means? Yatanogarasu 08:33, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * So should it be classified as Kekkai Ninjutsu?--LeafShinobi (talk) 19:50, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * From what I understand from the translation a barrier is created then Kamui takes effect in that area. So i suppose it is a kekkai ninjutsu--Cerez365 (talk) 20:38, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Where does this move come in Ultimate ninja 5? EzioLover (talk) 23:15, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Isn't the barrier just limiting the area of effect of Kamui? It's not like it restricts things from entering/exiting it unlike all of the other Barriers. Skitts (talk) 23:20, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Why Only One Aspect Can Be Used At Once
Tobi can't remain "intangible" while absorbing something, otherwise the object will still collide into him in the other dimension, no? Is that too much of a stretch of speculation? He either sends himself or the object, but not both, because that's pointless. I was thinking that this was part of Kakashi's reasoning for realizing that the two techniques were both the same technique, but too much speculation? --GoDai (talk) 01:19, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

No idea, but welcome back GoDai ;D people are still confused with the whole Konan/Kakashi explanations--Elveonora (talk) 01:42, September 6, 2012 (UTC)

Because if his entire body is in the other dimension he can't absorb things that are outside the other dimension, so his intangible image can't absorb stuff because he is actually existing in the other dimension. --82.39.201.72 (talk) 12:21, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

New Information
Madara implied that Obito phased through the rocks. He says "I don't know how that rock didn't crush you. It's almost as if you were able to slip away from it...". I don't think we can safely say that Tobi's technique is Mangekyo Sharingan unique. I think we should change it back to the normal sharingan until we have absolute proof it is unique to MS or even the fully mature Sharingan. Skarrj (talk) 10:42, September 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Traumatic experiences tend to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan...--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:50, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

His sharingan wasn't fully matured, he couldn't have awoken it. Skarrj (talk)

As far as I can see, nothing on this wiki says that the Sharingan needs to be at the 3 tomoe stage to evolve, it's unlikely that it's awoken at that point since everyone else needed to feel the pain of a loved one dying or killing them yourself, we've seen Obito using his teleporting ability with just the sharingan.TricksterKing (talk) 11:13, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

He might have used Earth Release to phase or something, and if it was Kamui, then he might have felt a loss of close ones as he was about to "die" also unless there's a reference for that, where's a proof that a Sharingan needs to me 3 tomoe in order to be able to unlock Mangekyou?? What if a 1-2 tomoe kills his best friend/relative?--Elveonora (talk) 22:50, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Since we now know Obito awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan when he witnessed Rin die how did he "slip away" from the rock? --82.39.201.72 (talk) 12:23, October 11, 2012 (UTC)

A Suspension Bridge to Peace (episode)
In the episode A Suspension Bridge to Peace obito is seen using kamui with normal sharingan? --82.39.201.72 (talk) 00:46, October 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is a clip of him doing that with an ordinary Sharingan in the anime, but in the manga chapters for the same fight, it is not present, meaning that is anime-only occurrence. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 18:49, October 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's not exactly true. There is a distinct close-up panel of Tobi utilizing Kamui during his battle with Konan, but there is no visible Sharingan design nor pupil at all. --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 01:46, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter 606
From Chapter 606 it seems kamui is activated whenever obito's mangekyō is activated so instead of obito activating the mangekyō then activating kamui when he activates the mangekyō kamui activates instantaneously I think this because he tried to touch rin and at first phased through her... and I don't think he had the intention of phasing through her only to touch her. So my conclusion is whenever the mangekyō is activated kamui is activated and he is solid until something something is hitting him in which it phases through in instead I don't think he chooses when to activate kamui and when to deactivate it. --82.39.201.72 (talk) 12:32, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * That would mean that Obito's body is constantly existing in another world, which I don't think is accurate. It would appear that it's simply because he just developed his abilities, he was unable to control the phasing. That, and the fact that Kishimoto did it for "dramatics".--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 12:43, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

No I mean the jutsu is activated at the same time as the mangekyō but he is solid... until something hits him he instead phases through it... so activated but solid when nothing is through him --82.39.201.72 (talk) 13:03, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * If that were the case, he wouldn't have been able to kill all those Kiri-nin as his Mangekyo was activated the entire time. What we saw was, when no longer in a fit of rage, he didn't have full control of the phasing.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 13:57, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Contradiction
Okay, so he has to have his whole body solid in order to attack, right? But when he defends, he can send a part of his body and still remain solid? We know that he's still in the real dimension, as we can see him, and the part that overlaps is the part that is gone? Isn't this a contradiction? Also, when he transports himself, doesn't he have to become solid to go to the other dimension ,why doesn't he just do it the faster way, like when he encountered naruto's tailed beast ball?--Asian711 (talk) 20:50, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

It all sounds weird, we will need a databook to clarify more, same for Izanagi. Kishi isn't good when it comes to explanations--Elveonora (talk) 22:05, October 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think that the explanations are very simple and logical, but offcourse are just suppositions until a confirmation from the databook or the manga. About the first question: Obito's kamui probably is able to teleport in the other dimensions every part of his body just in the moment that is overlapped by something of solid in the Earth's dimension. Probably Obito can just activate or not the jutsu, but he hasn't no direct control on what part of his body "make intangible".


 * About the second question, Obito's "intagibility" permits him to transfer in the other dimensions the part of his body that comes in contact with something, but just until the contact continue. Probably he is unable to stay in the other dimensions, but he must necessarily "return" to the Earth's dimension, in the exact point where he was when he became intangible. Contrarily, when he teleport himself ("soliding himself") the process is more slow, but he is able to remain in the other dimension, and overall the advantage is that he can then teleport himself in what point of the Earth he want (without return in the same from where he disappeared). When he travel from a point A to a point C of the world (for example from the forest where was present the Konoha's squad of 8 people to the place of Sasuke's battle with Itachi), seems likely that actually he telport himself before to a point B present in the other dimensions, and just from there he goes to the point C on the Earth.--JK88 (talk) 22:28, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

He has two states, Intangible and Tangible. When in the Intangible state he will phase through anything that touches him. Even if he is the one touching the object. Lets say he is phasing through a punch, he can't counter while phasing because IF he did, his fist would phase through the person unless he released the intangible state. Get it? He can't choose to selectively phase. While in the state he doesnt have to be in the Other Dimension but will be warped there on contact with something physical. It's complicated. But by looking at when Guy used the roundhouse kick against him while he was trying to grab naruto, it's easy to see. He phases through Naruto because his whole body was in the tangible state despite him just doing so to phase the kick aimed at his head. Skarrj (talk) 15:38, November 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Nice work Skarrj with that example of Naruto and Gai, you have found an evidence to my assumptions. Tobi can decide what part of his body selectively phase.--JK88 (talk) 16:54, November 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * You mean he CANNOT. Either he's completely solid, or completely impervious. While he's in the impervious mode, any object that will come in contact with his body will phase through it, while the body part being phased through will be made manifest in the other dimension. Obito cannot have his head in impervious mode, but arms in solid mode, for example. Xfing (talk) 18:01, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Kakashi's Usage
Kakashi has now seemingly demonstrated use of Obito's variation of Kamui on both himself and Eight-Tails. Should the article be rewritten and just split into teleportation and intangibility now, with Kakashi's long-range barrier included in the former?--BeyondRed (talk) 14:52, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * As you said; teleporting and intangibility are to different things, but Kakashi has yet to actually show intangibility. Until he does show it, I think it should remain the same. 09:58, Steveo920, November 20, 2012


 * He didn't mean intangibility, he meant sucking stuff into your eye, then releasing it later. With a swirlin suction pattern. Kakashi couldn't do that before, now he can. Just like Obito. He hasn't shown intangibility yet, but he has shown close-range Kamui. I would construct the article in a way that separates only intangibility and teleportation, citing Obito's teleportation aspect as the primary one, and later adding Kakashi's long-range aspect, unseen in Obito. Xfing (talk) 17:50, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Everything that Kakashi has done has been mentioned. So what needs to change? Kakashi, unlike Obito is still able to warp away stuff without physical contact, so to me at least, Kakashi isn't using it in any way he hadn't before now except that now he knows he can bring stuff back to the real world or actually has a need to unlike before (warping away Deidara's body part(s) and an explosion).--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 19:53, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

I agree, and to put it in other words, obito needs to touch a person or something to warp something away whearas kakashi only needs to focus on the target with his eye to warp the target away, clear statement. --Naruto6paths (talk) 20:01, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

I just found out something, since the right eye uses intangibility and the left eye uses the teleporation barrier, their both additions since both eyes uses that spiral teleporation. I think we should set it up were we separate teleporation barrier and intangibility because there additions to the teleporation of each eye. And since both Obito and Kakashi used teleporation, we should seperate it into teleporation.--Droidkaju (talk) 03:02, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with Droidkaju, while the current version not say incorrect info, the article was written keeping in mind a certain outclassed difference between the Kakashi's and Obito's kamui, when seemed that the power of the copy ninja was less similar to Obito's one: the partition of the paragraphs is an evidence of it. So I'm of the opinion that should be written in a different form similar to the suggestions done to making the understanding much more clear.--JK88 (talk) 13:31, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

 * In the manga, Tobi touches both Torune and Fu with his hand before warping them (Ch475 page 10 & Ch475 page 11). Skitts (talk) 16:05, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, its a bit hard to see but it looks like it :p il add it to the trivia that somtimes in the anime the mistake is made where the victim is not touched. --Keep Calm And Call Kakashi (talk) 16:08, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Left eye teleportation
So, at the moment, in the left eye's teleportation section, we currently say that Kakashi can teleport himself, on account of him being able to leave Kamui's dimension. But does that really count as teleportation? We have yet to see Kakashi purposefully send himself into that dimension, so, all he has done is avoid imprisonment in that dimension. Also, should merely entering and leaving Kamui's dimension be counted as teleportation? The phasing effect aside, I also considered Obito's teleportation as him disappearing in one location, to the Kamui dimension, and from there, appearing in a different location. Think going from the Kage Summit to the Samurai Bridge, or from Sasuke vs Deidara battlefield to Amegakure. Kakashi has yet to the either. Kurama only said he can get in and out of the dimension, nothing about him using it to cross great distances. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:40, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, as it is now with the Teleportation section separated from the sections on the eyes, it implies that Kakashi can do everything Obito can, even though he's only left the alternate dimension and ejected Eight-Tails from it. It's also kind of redundant to say there that physical contact is necessary and then say otherwise in the left eye section. Should the article just be split into two sections, one for each user? Actually, isn't it a little speculative to say that the difference in Kakashi and Obito's versions is because of which eye they use when it could be Uchiha dna or even something else entirely?--BeyondRed (talk) 05:58, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it counts as teleportation. Earlier, he has shown the ability only to create a barrier and warp stuff into the other dimension and later on also out of it, leaving out from inside counts as teleportation, tho you are right that he is yet to teleport in I believe. The only real difference between Obito and Kakashi's Kamuis is that the former's requires physical contact to warp stuff and the user can become intangible, while Kakashi has it ranged but can't turn ghost mode.--Elveonora (talk) 10:15, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

On that page, I see his regular Sharingan after the Rasenshuriken go through him, not during. I'd sooner chalk that up as a mistake than as a fact. Besides, there is one instance of MS powers being used with regular Sharigan. In a flashback we've seen Madara take control of Kurama, a MS power, using regular Sharingan. Regardless of how he used it, it is without a doubt a MS technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:54, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Thats not a mangekyou power, obito can do that, even sasuke supressed the kyubi's chackra with his sharingan, its even on the sharingan page in the abilities. Why do you the kyuubi takes a sharingan pattern in the eyes it just can be done with the mangekyou thats all Riptide240 (talk) 23:04, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

It even says so on obito's page under sharinganRiptide240 (talk) 23:06, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

Controlling Kurama is a MS power, re-read the chapters that lead to Itachi and Sasuke's fight in mid-Part II. Sasuke says that the price for controlling the Nine-Tails is blindness, and Itachi says something like "so you actually did what I told you to do and read the tablet in the Naka Shrine". You need to awaken the MS to be able to do it, but once you do, you can do it without activating MS. Suppressing Kurama's chakra and actually controlling Kurama are two very different things. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:32, April 18, 2013 (UTC)

so are u saying that u need to awaken the MS and then once u do, u can control kurama with a normal sharingan, or that u need to control kurama first with the MS and u can do it normally?Riptide240 (talk) 14:18, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

because obito told sasuke that all uchiha can potentially control the tailed beasts but didnt mention the MS. This is all on the mangekyou talk page under tailed beast controlRiptide240 (talk) 14:31, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

And on the page tailed beast control, it says the sharingan has that ability. When madara and oito controlled the nine tails, they had there sharinganRiptide240 (talk) 14:33, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Omni already explained it to you, a dude has to first have a MS so he can control the beasts--Elveonora (talk) 14:38, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Well then u need to edit the sharingan page cause it says that the sharingan's hypnosis ability can be used to control a tailed beast and also, the MS is needed to controlthe nine tails, but not all the other tailed beastsRiptide240 (talk) 14:44, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

MS has been specifically linked to controlling Kurama, but it might have some measure of control over the other beasts as well. When the Five-Tails tries attacking Obito in the early stage of his battle with Naruto and B, and he has to restrain it back to Han's version two cloak, you can see the Sharingan in its eyes. Obito used both Sharingan (or MS power through basic Sharingan) and the Rinnegan's Outer Path to control the beasts. Most likely, all the times they refer to the Sharingan having the power to control the Nine-Tails, they mean the MS, just not with the specific term. MS is still a Sharingan in the end. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:58, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Then why is it on the damn sharingan page if MS has its own. Plus everyone refers to it as MS not the sharinganRiptide240 (talk) 02:48, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe the best course of action would be to refer to it in articles as a Mangekyo power as it was described by Itachi and Sasuke, but include a (trivia?) point on the Mangekyo Sharingan and/or tailed beast control pages that Obito and Madara seemingly did it with only the regular Sharingan active?--BeyondRed (talk) 04:13, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Kakashi?
Shouldn't it be noted that Kakashi was only able to teleport himself only after receiving chakra from the kyubi? And how the Kyubi's chakra might have had something to do with it (but not stating it as a fact, but a maybe or theory or something)?--Deathmailrock (talk) 08:37, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Travelling through the ground?

 * Kamui phases through the ground, that technique tunnels through it, leaving holes where the user enters and emerges. Obito used Earth Release to place Deidara's mines into the ground, since Kamui would have made them intangible as well.--BeyondRed (talk) 05:22, October 28, 2013 (UTC)

 * I believe so. When he phases through dimensions, his body is still in one piece (otherwise he would have been dead as soon as he used it) so if Tobi were to phase his waste into the ground he could still move.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 17:16, October 28, 2013 (UTC)

About the Trivia note
The early fan translations of Kamui's entry in the 3rd Databook implied that Kamui was a devised ocular power that could be developed through refinement of one's chakra, but Viz's translation of that line put a different(and more acceptable, IMO) spin on that:


 * "This technique can be used only after taking time to create as much chakra as he can."

... Basically, it's describing exactly what we saw Kakashi doing to prepare his Mangekyō Sharingan. If you guys want to get a 2nd/3rd opinion from your resident translator, go ahead. I'm sure a lot of readers have already skewed their opinion on this after Tobi's relationship to the ability has been detailed to us, but I thought it best to gauge how much on the talk page first, seeing as how it was such a long-standing belief. —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 16:17, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Plot Hole
How come Madara could travel to the other dimension, when Obito stated that it was impossible to do that while the Jinchuriki of the 10-Tails...? Skarrj (talk) 06:22, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Phasing Kamui is different from warping Kamui, I guess. MangekyoSasuke (talk) 06:25, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * We're not Kishimoto, so how can we possibly know? Mention it in the Trivia and move on people. Plot holes are common in manga that have nearly 800 chapters. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 06:26, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * That isn't the only plot hole, Madara used the offensive/long-range Kamui eye to transport himself to the other dimension, when it's been stated that only the eye Obito currently possesses can do that. Somehow Madara can break the boundaries of fantasy and reality, maybe all that Yin-Yang Release business has given him the power to bend the laws of physics. Atrix471 (talk) 10:41, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * The only ability Madara showed with Kakashi's sharingan was the ability to send himself into the other dimension, something Kakashi has shown that he is capable of doing himself. And he didn't phase through Sasuke's attack, he was cut in half, so no plot hole I see.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 11:23, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * How come he survived then?--Elveonora (talk) 11:30, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Survived getting cut in half? The same way Orochimaru did it the twelve or thirteen times it happened to him? Being stupid hard to kill. Not to mention while Obito was trying to regain control of his body, the Ten-Tails massively distorted his body and he was no worse for wear.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 11:37, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * You are right, after re-reading the chapter, I see that he indeed was cut in half, the lower half is still with Sasuke after Madara teleports away. Cool.--Elveonora (talk) 11:40, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Chapter 675
Obito could teleport Sakura back to the real world with seemingly no physical contact. Should a trivia mention be made?--JOA20 (talk) 12:06, May 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * We know Obito and Kakashi could eject anything in their space-time dimension, so this may be nothing more than a version of that. If it's trivia, we shouldn't make it sound like he can suddenly use Kakashi's ranged Kamui unless it's explicitly confirmed.--BeyondRed (talk) 12:12, May 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * He's whole body is not shown in the panel, and he's been shown to be able to move as you can see from the difference in his position from 672 - 674, it's not hard to assume he just reached out and touched her there only 6 inches or so apartDwelf (talk) 02:33, May 10, 2014 (UTC).


 * If you look back to 595 obito seems to stop kakashi from kamui'ing the gedo statue away from a distance which would suggest that his is capable of using it at range. At the time it was thought that the statue might be immune to kamui/sharingan techniques however in 659 Kakashi succeeds in remove the statue's arm with kamui and in 635 we see that it's affected by amaterasu. This might only be worth mentioning in the trivia section as it's not consistent with what's shown in 467,475,487,510,537 and 608 Dwelf (talk) 02:33, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Intangibility while in the Other Dimension
Where did it ever say that Kamui can't turn a person intangible from inside the other dimension? In chapter 629, Obito clearly passed through Kakashi's hand while talking about Rin. Later, Madara passed his hand through Obito. Steveo920, 7:14, May 15, 2014
 * There's a hole in his chest there. Not to mention it was genjutsu. Plus, Madara plucked his hand in Obito's chest so that he could see what happened to the Puppet-Master Seal, nothing more.--JOA20 (talk) 12:23, May 15, 2014 (UTC)

Not Sure
I'm not sure it's quite right to say that there's a contradiction between Madara's and Obito's ability with Kamui while being the Jubi's host. Madara didn't use the intangibility version, but the overt barrier transportation. The part where Obito realized he couldn't use it was in a situation of the sort where he would usually use the "intangibility" usage of the technique. Skitts (talk) 05:48, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Unless I'm mistaken, Obito never said he couldn't "travel through dimensions" as the article claims, but actually said he couldn't slip through things anymore. If true, there's no contradiction at all and the article should be changed.--BeyondRed (talk) 06:10, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree, although perhaps Seelentau or someone had access to the raws, and that's what it said. Maybe we should ask him? :) Skitts (talk) 06:16, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. He says somewhat like "with the TT in me, slipping through isn't possible anymore, huh? How irritating". Of course this means Kamui's ability to let things slip through. However! That is also a dimension traveling. Stating that Obito (and likely Madara) can't use Kamui as the TT's host is wrong. Stating that they can't use part of Kamui is correct. • Seelentau 愛 議 08:22, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Then I guess it's better to change the wording of the trivia a little…--JOA20 (talk) 09:39, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * So I get it TT host can transport himself and others to the Kamui world, but can't send there parts of himself? Doesn't make much sense to me why would full body work but parts not, but ok Kishi--Elveonora (talk) 12:38, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe because he can't teleport the part of the TT that's hit, since it's too much chakra...? Dunno, this is what I'd call plot, even though I despise using that word. • Seelentau 愛 議 13:02, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Based on completely nothing, I would assume that as the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, the phasing part (instantaneous sending parts of his body to the other dimension) doesn't work, but he can send himself to the other dimension if he desired (as shown by Madara). Why is anyone's guess, but yeah. There ya go.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:27, June 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * He can't "split" parts of his body between dimensions, but he can wholly transfer from one dimension to the other. It reeks of plot device either way.--JOA20 (talk) 15:44, June 27, 2014 (UTC)

Chapter 685 - New Info on Kamui
We've already noted what Kamui can do when a user has one of the eyes. Now we know what they can do when the user has both eyes. Obito was shown to use them simultaneously to:

One: Create two Kamui at the same time -- Obito used his left eye Kakashi had to create a long-ranged Kamui that connected with Kaguya's portal, then used his right eye to create a short-ranged Kamui to teleport himself, Naruto's clone and Sakura, and connected both Kamui together to teleport to Kaguya's core dimension.

Two: Create a combined (the original) Kamui with both eyes -- Obito used both eyes to create a larger Kamui portal that is both long-ranged and short-ranged. It even looked different when Obito used both eyes. Proof of this is that the dimension Sasuke was in was a long distance away, as noted by Obito himself, but the portal was a short distance away from both the user (Obito) and the target (Sasuke).

So yeah, I think we should state in the article what happens when a user of Kamui has both eyes. Any objections? WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 01:30, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nope. I also support that the latest Kamui is the original, true Kamui which Obito would've used all the time if he had two eyes his whole life. • Seelentau 愛 議 09:23, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Alright. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 19:00, July 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I believe the portal creation is already in the article. Unless you mean to reformat the article to accommodate what we know both eyes can do together.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 19:02, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes. That's what I meant. I'll do it shortly. WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 19:13, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely against that. I am in agreement with Seel. What Obito recently displayed is likely the true Kamui. What we've seen up until now is just what they were capable of with one eye each, but we all know that the "true" power of a Mangekyō Sharingan technique can only be used when the user has both eyes. Both Madara and Obito have flat out said that. Perhaps we could reformat it based on this new information? ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 19:14, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Done. By the way, can someone insert images for the "Both Eyes" section? Like a simple picture for the combined, original Kamui, and a slideshow of images to show the process of Obito using both the long-range and short-range Kamui and the connection of them to get to Kaguya's core dimension? It would really help. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 19:43, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Thanx for the image. Do whatever cleanup you want. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 20:01, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
