Talk:Shinigami

God redirect
Why does God redirect to Nagato?? He is not a god at all, and it has nothing to do with his species. He was simply called that by his Village.---Marc Zaddy (talk) 19:25, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's a name he does possess. A better question: Why does the Shinigami have an article?--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 19:27, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

Despite it being a name Nagato has, it has no real reason to redirect to him. This is referencing God as a species, his is simply a nickname. Also, I don't know why it has an article. Omnibender said something about it being a hot topic before. I guess he decided to see how it would play out.---Marc Zaddy (talk) 19:31, December 16, 2013 (UTC) I agree, he is still human anyway. The 'god' thing is a nickname due to his powers and the way he ruled his village. Neji of the gentle fist (talk) 22:39, December 16, 2013 (UTC)

I made the page because its a character and omni let me Munchvtec (talk) 22:40, December 16, 2013 (UTC)munchvtec

Now I feel offended :P My very own proposal for giving Shinigami an article and making it a character was denied, yet here it is. Oh well, it's the results that matter ;) --Elveonora (talk) 14:01, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

I'm still not satisfied with how this page is. I had hoped that by leaving the article be, people would start discussing it again, and finally reach a true consensus. As of now, the page is extremely half-baked. It needs to be stepped up, or else deleted. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:10, December 17, 2013 (UTC)

sex/gender
Yes, this topic again. I don't think we should consider one for a spiritual being. We consider the tailed beasts asexual or whatever and they are flesh, this guy is gassy and can't even be seen under normal circumstances... whatever may lie underneath his robe shall stay concealed.--Elveonora (talk) 13:49, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't even consider the Shinigami an thing in the Narutoverse. Basically, its the same thing as King of Hell, and I'm pretty sure, name not withstanding, we don't give the King of Hell a gender either. (Then why the hell do we call it the King of Hell!?! I have no idea! But it was better than "Nameless Soul Eating Rinnegan Face Monster!")--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 14:10, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, it is god of death, no goddess, but referring to "him" as "it" would be the best I think. And king of hell has gender stated... but yeah, I mean, this guy might at least have something to identify him by down there, king of hell is just a head.--Elveonora (talk) 14:22, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Do we just label "IT" as him or not? Munchvtec (talk) 14:36, December 18, 2013 (UTC)munchvtec
 * I think King of Hell is mostly called like that because it has the kanji for king on it, and because what it does ties in with a mythological figure who is male. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:32, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Little Problem
I was wondering what we should really label it's species as, or should we just not label a species at all? I'm having mixed feelings about spirit being it's species. Munchvtec (talk) 14:40, December 18, 2013 (UTC)munchvtec

Spirit seems good. Neji of the gentle fist (talk) 18:55, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

I think the Shinigami should be listed as a Jutsu created by the Uzumaki Clan as stated by Orochimaru in Chapter 619, page 2. I'm referring to Mangapanda translation. Furulu25 (talk) 23:58, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

The fūinjutsu are already listed as Uzumaki jutsu, this article is about the entity. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:24, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

In my interpretation of Orochimaru's words the shinigami itself is a fuinjutsu created by the Uzumaki Clan, that's why i wrote the comment. That's debatable tough. Furulu25 (talk) 00:31, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

No, Orochimaru was talking about the summoning of the shinigami. He mentioned the creature's use of fuinjutsu. The scan you are reading is partialy incorrect. Munchvtec (talk) 01:30, December 19, 2013 (UTC)munchvtec

I see thanks for the information.

See here: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Dead_Demon_Consuming_Seal#why_don.27t_we... we can start the argument again, it wasn't resolved anyway. In my opinion, it has to be an entity of its own. It makes noises etc. not to mention seems at least a little bit independent of the user, unlike Susanoo let's say. Not to mention, isn't space an evidence? Minato sealed himself and Kurama and Hiruzen himself, 1st and 2nd Hokage + Oro's arms and all of this was found inside the mask Shinigamu Oro summoned. If it were just a technique, each user would have a separate space or not?--Elveonora (talk) 14:35, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

I also agree that there's only one Shinigami. I simply thought that the creature in question was created by the Uzumaki Clan as an ultimate sealing technique. But that's just my own speculation and there's no way to prove it if Orochimaru didn't say it himself in the chapter i mentioned above. Furulu25 (talk) 14:51, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

It was never mentioned if there was more then one of the shinigami Munchvtec (talk) 15:00, December 19, 2013 (UTC)munchvtec
