Talk:Asuma Sarutobi

Part II, Anyone?
There is no reference to part II of the manga, and hence, his death is entirely cut from the article. Sasuke9031 01:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * He was killed. I don't have the time to look for it myself, but you are welcome to do so. Its pretty much the Hidan and Kakuzu arc, chapters 320 to 329. Find them, read them. Its there.--TheUltimate3 01:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
This article needs a bit of cleanup:
 * There is no section on Asuma's Background, History, Abilities, and such... and is instead all collected inside of a Part In The Story which is actually supposed to be written as Part in the Story and used to encompass the characters participation in the story arcs.
 * The Revelations section is written in present tense and goes into to much detail on past speculation instead of just inserting the important stuff (ie: Asuma Sarutobi is the Third Hokage's son) into relevant parts of the article.
 * The "Asuma's trench knives" section is similarly written in a poor quality. This kind of thing is supposed to be part of an Abilities section.
 * The "Asuma's legacy on Team 10" should be part of a history section or part of a arc section in the Part II section of what should be Part in the Story.

I don't get it. Asuma appears alive in part 2 fighting Kitane 1 of the limelords. How is he alive?
 * Consider that as the first fillar arc in Part 2. He hasen't fought Hidan & Kakuzu yet. Jacce 16:41, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Asuma Family members
Should we put an "Unnamed Sibling" since Konohamaru is Asuma's nephew? If so, then we should put that info for Konohamaru, Sarutobi, and Kurenai.
 * I don't think this is necessary, since this person is completely and utterly irrelevant right now. Maybe if he or she is introduced later on, we can add them. --ShounenSuki 15:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes,even if its irrelevant at the moment it should still be there.Deathreaper 17:37, 25 November 2008

Natures
In the infobox, could somebody please remove the "(secondary)" annotation and replace the "(main)" annotation with "(affinity)"? --ShounenSuki (talk 13:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Jacce 13:14, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * How long is the protection on for? I wanna add as we know for sure that Asuma's affinity is to wind. This has also been added for all other characters when we know what their affinity is.  ¥ S uper N ovice  ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 15:37, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It is gone now. Jacce | Talk 16:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

In Part II
Which episode does Asuma stand by the Third's grave?
 * Episode 72. Jacce | Talk 08:34, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Asuma Shippuden
Wasn't there an omake that Asuma said that Naruto Shippuden was going to changed into Asuma Shippuden? Why don't we put that on his trivia?

Sign your signature. And it was Shikamaru Shippuden not Asuma Shippuden. --KiumaruHamachi (talk) 20:31, January 22, 2010 (UTC)KiumaruHamachi

Stats
Can someone please correct Asuma's speedstat? It's suppose to be 4.5 in the First databook as well.



As can be clearly seen here.80.127.21.134 (talk) 14:35, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Jacce | Talk 15:06, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes.
Seriously, are the only quotes we have are the moment he was about to die?--NejiHyugaRocks (talk) 16:52, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * How about you go find interesting ones to put up...seriouly --Cerez365 (talk) 17:36, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
Why everyone hatin' on Asuma. There's been a lot of vandalism on his page lately and frankly, I don't like it. Could it be protected from spammers somehow? ~ Fmakck - Talk - Contributions 04:49, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Snapper2 has protected the page. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 06:59, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Child
Are we interpreting the image of Kurenai with a child as something that has happened or as something that was dreamed/desired/etc. S im A nt 19:53, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on the image and on what Shikamaru said, "...kill his own child?!", I understood that the child has been born already. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:33, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, so...Is the baby a boy or a girl? I can't really tell.-- Ninja Sheik  21:37, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that we should wait until they say if it's a boy or a girl before posting anything about its gender. We can't judge gender on the basis of appearances. Ex. HakuRyne 91 (talk) 21:58, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do think that we should make an article for the child though. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:08, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Absolutely. Unless we have a reasonable amount of doubt that the child has already been born- which I don't believe we do- then an article should be made. I've never made an article though, so someone else can do that.Ryne 91 (talk) 22:10, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * I forgot, will he/she be in the Sarutobi clan?  ~ Fmakck© → Talk → Contributions ~ 00:57, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I almost didn't notice this. Anyways, this is what it says on the Sarutobi clan's article in the trivia section: *When Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yūhi's child is born, it will also be a member of the Sarutobi clan.
 * Does that help?Ryne 91 (talk) 18:03, April 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * The child should be a Sarutobi from what I understand.--Cerez™☺ 18:07, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Naruto Shippuden 4 The Lost Tower
Shouldn't there be a movie section for Shippuden 3 on this. page. it does show a scene where a very young Asuma is with a very young Shizune and Guy are and are talking to each other.
 * Evidence plox.--Cerez™☺ 00:43, April 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've this scene, but even so, we know too little about his role in the plot of that movie to make a section about it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:45, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

20 Years old?
Should we put it here that Asuma was 20 yrs. old when he left the village, or it's just a sub mistake here? --Ilnarutoanime -NejiLoverr- 16:47, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * If his age was only mentioned in the anime then I would have to say no because the anime probably just thought up an age and put him there. If we were then you would have to put something like 'In the anime, ...'. Joshbl56  19:57, December 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Aah okay, thank you! :D --Ilnarutoanime -NejiLoverr- 08:25, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Wind Release and Kakuzu's mask
Just leaving an easier reference to my reason for saying it was Tenten: Viz was clearer about it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:15, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh~ I still think the direction the fan's being swung in is odd for the wind flow and such but it's a way to go for Tenten~ --Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 00:19, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I also found that odd, but there was one thing I'm not sure I noticed at the time. Asuma used his technique on land, Tenten and the mask were at the sea. And it kinda seemed like the wind was coming from the sea, towards the land. Not the way it would work if it had come from Asuma. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:31, March 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I never noticed they were on land vs. sea. I always thought they were fighting close to the sore or something. Either way it's fine I suppose Tenten was probably the one who destroyed all le masks.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 10:32, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Image
I feel the current image looks washed out. Maybe it's just me. Anyway, here's an image I found --Speysider (Talk Page) 19:36, June 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't see a prob. with the current. But that looks good. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 19:47, June 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * basing on his mouth, this needs a change. ~IndxcvNovelist (talk 19:50, June 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also see no problem with current image.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 03:42, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know there is no problem, just listing an image that could be used for a replacement if needed. =.= --Speysider (Talk Page) 09:03, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter 599
Pretty sure the kid next to Kurenai who's talking to her is Asuma. He's also shown next to her during the chuunin exams preliminaries. Perhaps the first image of him should be shown on Asuma's page.

Asuma as Chunin.
Asuma as a Chunin. Needs to be added to profile.

Other Names
kakuzu referred to him and Dan as the leafs Gold and Silver Generals shouldnt that be added to the other name section of the data box? --Youngjusticeplayer007 (talk) 15:41, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * "Of the [village name]" is not a valid moniker. Everyone is of the village they hail from as much as I'm Cerez of Narutopedia.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 15:48, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Well i mean with "the leaf" part left out of it he referred still referred to the them as "Gold and Silver" and in the anime i think general was added at the end. --Youngjusticeplayer007 (talk) 15:57, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Time with the twelve
In the Shadow of the Anbu Arc, when Itachi is 11 and joins Kakashi's team in Anbu, Asuma is 21 and has his Twelve Guardian Ninja Sash, that means he was only with the Twelve Guardian Ninja for one year, as he joined them when he was 20 and then afterwards came back to Konoha permanently. So he was a Twelve Guardian Ninja for one year and accumulated a high ass bounty in only one year. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 18:16, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Chakra Enhanced Strength
Wanted to explain to me if Asuma can use this technique or not. In episode 70, at around 18 minutes and 38 seconds, Asuma jumps to hit the ninja of Otogakure, to fall, your foot seems to be loaded with chakra. Can someone answer me this question? It uses or does not use the technique? -- Samemaru 23:57, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

He simply used the chakra in his feet to either stick to something or to cushion his fall. this has nothing to do with chakra enhanced strength. Munchvtec (talk) 00:01, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

Smoking illnesses?
It's implied in anime flashbacks/fillers (and probably manga panels) that Asuma had been smoking for quite some time, well before the series started. Considering how often he smoked and the amount he used to smoke, is it reasonable to add a trivia point pointing out that he didn't show any symptoms of smoking at any point in the series? The same could be said for Hiruzen, who is pretty old and must have suffered "some" sort of symptoms. Discuss. --Sajuuk Special:Contributions/SuperSajuuk 16:21, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Some people smoke and never show any kind of symptoms until they die. I don't think Kishi put that much thought in it, so we shouldn't bother, either. • Seelentau 愛 議 16:25, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * True. I thought I should bring it up in case it was trivia worthy. --Sajuuk Special:Contributions/SuperSajuuk 16:26, June 25, 2015 (UTC)

Arms of the Third Hokage
^According to the Boruto oneshot, Asuma was known by that moniker. Someone wanna find the kanji and add it? --Jizo 悟 (talk) 18:07, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * He wasn't. • Seelentau 愛 議 18:08, July 30, 2015 (UTC)
 * That was badly translated. In the other scanlation, it's clear that this is a mention to Konohamaru's Anbu parents. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:18, July 30, 2015 (UTC)

Water release
Shall it be added in his infobox as (game only)? I honestly see no reason as to why not. Munchvtec (talk) 14:29, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't do that tho. Like we don't do it with Sarada, and with other characters in the past.--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 14:29, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Just because it's something we don't do doesn't mean we can't. It should honestly be implemented anywhere it happens. Considering we don't normally add game feats in the characters ability section, what you did (by your logic) isn't something we do :p Munchvtec (talk) 14:34, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * True, but given how adding natures this way had happened in the past and was seen as vandalism, I doubt lots of people will support the idea, but you can try spreading the word. And I didn't add it in the ability section, I added it in the video game section, which we do when characters perform feats they usually can't do (eg. Rin using full Isobu, Sarada, Shisui, etc.).--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 14:36, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't check who was doing what but it is in his ability section. No need to try and spread the word really. It being in the Video Games section is good enough for me. Munchvtec (talk) 14:41, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't see it in his ability section, are you sure it's there...?--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 14:44, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I was looking at the page in History haha, sorry. And wb. Munchvtec (talk) 14:46, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
