Talk:Storm Release: Laser Circus

Name question
If the literal english is not "laser circus", then why is the name "laser circus"?--SkyFlicker (talk) 09:48, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe it's because it, Lariat, Elbow, are all puns of wrestling moves. As some of the articles mentioned "they were given English name[s] given kanji that somewhat match the pronunciation".--TheUltimate3 (talk) 12:23, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the pronunciation could possibly be also "Razor" other than "Laser": they should have both the same pronunciation. I know it's not shaped as a blade, but also it is not shaped as a laser (the beam curves).
 * Moreover, often in manga/anime series they use words as "sword" or "dagger" to call a beam attack.--Hamel (talk) 09:37, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, razor would be, rather than the and  used for laser. Also, razor makes absolutely no sense, as the technique has nothing to do with razors. At least the beams look somewhat like laser beams. —ShounenSuki (talk 13:42, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, usually in anime/manga it's not necessary being sharp to be called blade.
 * For example, in the anime "Sorcerous Stabber Orphen" the main character's spell is called hikari no hakujin (光の白刃): despite being literally a sword of light, it's just a simple explosive blast.
 * The doubt itself is also legitimate: looking at 464's raw you can find レイザー near the kanji, the same you find for the japanese wrestler レイザーラモンＨＧ, aka Razor Ramon HG.--Hamel (talk) 18:49, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Well thats Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, we are talking about Naruto.Umishiru (talk) 18:59, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * So what? They're both manga/anime.
 * In japanese visual culture, authors often refer to something using unusual terms.
 * In Naruto, you can see that just looking at the 7 Swordsmen: few of them wield a real sword, but they're still called swordsmen.--Hamel (talk) 21:03, February 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * The Japanese have a very loose definition of sword. Shuriken literally means something like "sword that fits in your palm". Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:21, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Gale Style
In the latest Viz Manga it was revealed that Storm Release is Gale Style, but when I try to change it someone else reverts it back to the old name. Why can't I change it to Gale Style, is all I want to now.


 * Sorry, my brother did it. I have already reverted to Gale Style --Blaublau94 (talk) 04:56, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you

Explosion
How do we know this technqiue has explosive properties? The explosion in their fight could have been caused by Kankuro's Red Secret Technique: Machinery Triangles, which had bombs attatched to them. --GoDai (talk) 22:42, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Good point. Especially since electricity and water does not add up to being an explosion. --Thomas Finlayson (talk) 4:07, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
