Talk:Amaterasu

shouldn't we put Madara as a user, because Itachi said that Madar could use all four Mangekyo techniques?
 * It was a mistranslation, Itachi was talking about Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Jacce | Talk 19:58, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

As hot as the sun
can someone please tell me the chapter that says amaterasu is as hot as the sun? i want to reread it lol.
 * I don't know about the manga, but the databook says something like that: --ShounenSuki (talk 14:39, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

ok thank you for telling me this :)

blaze
it seems that amaterasu is a blaze release tech., as sasuke said he used an enton(may have been a bad translation) when guarding himself with amaterasu from gaara's attack. 24.189.153.102 (talk) 00:07, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * First, it was Enton, was not a mistranslation. Second, we have no proof Amaterasu is a Blaze Release, just that Sasuke somehow developed a Blaze Release to manipulate it.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 00:53, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Why can't it be both? Blaze Release can't be used without using Amaterasu. As such, while I do not deny its classification as a Fire Technique, I must point out its status as the core technique of this advanced nature which is why I recommend that until Kishimoto resolves the issue, it be recognized as a Blaze as well as Fire jutsu.

 * If thats the case under Earth release, there shud be the Wood release icon, and under Water and Wind there shud be ice...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:22, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * /sigh my point still stands.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:25, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

That is not I mean. I only pointed out the valid fact that Amaterasu is vital to performing Blaze Release which is why I added the Blaze icon and as I stated previously, I recognized its classification as a Fire Release which is why I left the icon untouched. User: Atrulean Starkiller September 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Wind is vital for Ice
 * Water is vital for Ice
 * Earth is vital for Wood
 * Water is vital for Wood
 * In short evry technique that uses 2 elements rely on each other heavily. Doesn't mean we add those to the page...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:31, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

There is a difference between a technique and chakra nature which is why I made my edit. User: Atrulean Starkiller September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Same argument stands. For all wood release techs the ONLY icon is the wood release. Same for ice. We dont add the componenets that make up the tech...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:36, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Example : Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall..--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:37, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

I am well aware of that. However, when the components of an advanced nature is unique, I believe that it is a valid reason for exceptions to be made in articles. In this case, I believe an extra element icon is appropriate due to how recent information has affected the status of the article. User: Atrulean Starkiller September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is that as far as we know, Amaterasu is not Blaze Release, but Fire Release. Blaze Release is only used to manipulate the Amaterasu's flames. Saying Amaterasu is Blaze release is simply false as far as we know. --ShounenSuki (talk 15:06, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which was exactly what I said with more words. You're welcome. Heh.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:34, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

I would like to see where in a databook says that amaterasu is a fire release. and could be that amaterasuis just one of the many abilities enton has just that is the most common one, so the flames are the real nature and Amaterasu is a technique using the flames that has the ability of appearing in visual point of the user. as there is wood style great forest and wood style locking wall. there would aslo be blaze release amaterasu and blaze release kagutsuchi

that would also explain why blaze release amaterasu can defeat normal fire and is unaffected by water cause its notjust fire but an advanced anture that is resistent to water as fire is strong against wind but cant damage ice. just put this on your mind compare the black flame with the wood coming out of yamatos body, now compare amaterasu and kagutsuchi with the different techniques mokuton has so i say its safe to say that amaterasu is blaze release technique, since it would explain many of the amaterasu mysteries and this is from the main data, directly from plot producers that have given me some hints

like I said, sasuke used a regular amaterasu, but said he used an enton, he obviously wasn't manpulating the flames like he was wih kagutsuchi, so the argument still stands. 24.189.153.102 (talk) 22:38, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

creating amaterasu
Itachi can also extinguish amaterasu so why isnt that there? http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/390/07/
 * Itachi simply stopped using the technique, he closed his eye, that's nothing like what Sasuke did, putting out an already burning Amaterasu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:30, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * That wouldn't have done anything. The fact that Amaterasu kept burning the forest after Itachi died attests to that. ~SnapperTo 02:28, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

KM retrofitting?
When this tech was first used, it was just one simple tech. Then it was given to one of the most major characters of the story. At the same time "blaze release" showed up, it was within a week of two other releases showing up. Isn't it very likely that KM is just retrofitting amaterasu as its own chakra nature to give a popular technique more depth and appeal and give sasuke access to an advanced nature type (which are highly popular among fans)?


 * Or the man could have made Blaze Release as way to manipulate Amaterasu fire, which if memory serves me correctly was just a blazing black inferno on anything within the person's field of vision.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 20:33, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

Animation
Was anyone else disappointed by the way they animated Amaterasu in episode 137? It's the same as they did when Itachi used it in part one. It looks a lot like the way Kishimoto draws fire in the manga, but they always change the way fire looks in the anime. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:31, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Anime picture
We now got some good pictures of the Amaterasu flames in the anime, well kinda. Anyway currently the choices are

And here we go!--TheUltimate3 (talk) 21:10, November 26, 2009 (UTC) I think we should use the second, it'll be boring if we just use a different version of the same image. User:Atrulean Starkiller talk November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I like the second and third images, they both show Amaterasu being used, not just burning after they hit something. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:05, November 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm more partial to the third one actually, yes it's the same picture, but it works and it shows the jutsu used.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 22:43, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

I agree with TheUltimate3, it may be the same picture but I think it's really cool seeing the effect of Amaterasu against another jutsu. User:Master Shannara November 27, 2009 (UTC)
