Talk:Dance of the Shikigami

I would like to raise to point that the kanji is wrong for mai (as in Dance) it should be 舞 not 術（jutsu) --うちわファン (talk) 08:20, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Rank?
How do we know what rank it is? Its seems that it should be higher. --Hasofcd (talk) 00:17, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * It was taken from the Third Databook, page 264. Why should it be higher, if I may ask? B-rank is jōnin-level. --ShounenSuki (talk 00:40, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Well if the databook says it.But since you asked, I was just considering the ridiculous amount of versatility she has with her jutsu with suffocation, butterflies, paper planes, weapons, and the amount of paper she can make, coupled with paper restoration if she's hurt in this mode. Add the Akatsuki factor and I just thought it should be higher than jonin level, but oh well. --Hasofcd (talk) 02:43, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ranks aren't just about power and versatility, but about difficulty as well. Sure, the technique is incredibly versatile. but maybe it isn't that difficult to use and it certainly isn't all that powerful. --ShounenSuki (talk 08:05, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Please, this isn't a forum, let's not get into opinions of Konan's power. The rank is the rank, let's move on. --Hasofcd (talk) 18:42, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

dance of the shikigami
i would rank it s-rank for her being a s-rank ninja


 * Regardless, the databook evidently lists it as a B-rank jutsu. We don't get to decide what Kishimoto decrees here, our duty is to just compile it together into an encyclopedia. Teamrocketspy621 (talk) 02:25, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

sorry about that your right

Chapter 509
Is the huge paper parting of seas she made in 509 this or should we make a separate article for it? I can't help to think this will be given its entry when the next databook comes out. Or if we're lucky, in the next chapter. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:07, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd question Kishimoto's sanity if he didn't name it next chapter. ~SnapperTo 00:13, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * On a related note, should her "paper tree/hideout" be counted as a separate technique as well? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:57, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so, the whole tree thing just seemed like a simple a mimicry of the environment (but then again there is the whole color aspect to be disclosed). Perhaps an image of it in her article instead? --Cerez365 (talk) 01:25, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * How 'bout Paper Treehouse and Drowning in Paperwork no Jutsu ;) Arrancar79 (talk) 01:31, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Weakness
Just to clarify, she is limited to the amount of paper she can make from her body (Paper Ocean, no idea what that means, perhaps we just say 'generally?'), and cannot exceed it? So after a point she will not be able use this technique if enough is destroyed? Thomas Finlayson (talk) 17:33, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
