Talk:Demonic Statue of the Outer Path

character?
I have a stupid question, how can a statue be a character. Simant (talk) 22:55, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

well he is a sommened creature (sorry for spelling)--Bleach boy (talk) 23:00, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Summoning: Rashomon is a summon as well but it is not a character, it even has a face. Who said this was a creature? Simant (talk) 23:02, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well now that you mention it.I really think that we should cancelit as a character and put it as a jutsu.--Bleach boy (talk) 23:06, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * It has two jutsu pages already... i suppose it was listed as a character because it can do jutsu, so that means it can use chakra and that means its alive. weird. Simant (talk) 23:08, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

How could sasuke synchronize?
Because Nagato is dead, and since the Demonic Statue requires the Rinnegan to summon. is it safe to say that Madara will give the Rinnegan to Sasuke so he can "synchronize" with the statue???--Silverblade1 (talk) 21:44, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is nothing that says if one is to synchronize with the Statue they must have the Rinnegan. ¥ S uper N ovice ↔ T alk 2 M e  ¥ 21:52, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

yeah, thats what cunfuses me, go to the Rinnegan page, then scroll down to the bottom and click on the "List of Techniques that use Rinnegan"...it shows all the six path techniques, but also Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path ??--Silverblade1 (talk) 21:58, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

You need the Rinnegan to summon it but I think to synchronize with it you have to be a descendant of the Sage of The Six Paths (Uchiha Blood is counted too). Anyone noticed that it resembles the Ten-Tails? Maybe it was left behind by the Sage of The Six Paths to people who posess the Rinnegan incase they needed the Ten-Tails' Chakra for good?Shabih (talk) 16:03, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

Dragon Spirit.....monster...thing pics
I took some screen caps of the dragon thing, here's what i got. WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 06:38, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's nothing closer to the manga counterpart? Soul removal and all that? ~SnapperTo 18:21, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

It's possible to get a screencap of the soul removal, though I must say, I quite like the one with the dragon thing looking at Hanzō. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:09, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

I wanted one like the manga as well, but sadly, i couldn't get a shot like that. - WhiteArmor - (Talk) - 07:28, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

This is not a Forum
As Narutopedia isn't a forum you cannot post theories like this-

"The statue also bears a resemblance to the silhouette of the Ten Tails, the key differences being a blindfold over it's one eye and Its tails cut down to stumps. One of the tails completely cut off so it appears there are only nine."

-If you want to hypothesize about the statue, join a forum.

i agree

More Buddhist References
I believe I've mentioned it elsewhere on this wikia, but the Gedō Mazō bears a strong resemblence to some famous statues of the Buddha when he was still a practicing ascetic, a form of belief that he'd later describe as an "Outer Path" that prevented one from reaching true enlightenment.

In the most recent chapter, the Gedō Mazō is shown sitting in a meditative pose atop a lotus flower. The Buddha is sometimes depicted as sitting atop a lotus flower, which symbolizes someone who overcame the pain of the material world and has become enlightened, just as the lotus flower grows in dirty water, but blossoms on the water's surface. 66.220.139.66 (talk) 22:37, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

why
Why does this summon have affiliations but not users? --Rigoberto60 (talk) 15:55, April 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Summoners aren't listed in the infobox. ~SnapperTo 16:24, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Where was this stated?
"With Sasuke not ready to sync with the statue during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara summons it on the battlefield to find someone else to synchronize with it."

Can someone show me where this is stated in the manga? Iffy88 (talk) 19:38, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Madara says that he needs a substitute in manga chapter 536. He doesn't directly state that he needs someone to synchronize with it, but, considering he needs to capture the Tailed Beasts and isn't ready to synchronize it to Sasuke, I'm assuming that what he meant is that he needs a substitute to synchronize in the meantime. I'm assuming Nagato was synchronized with the statue in order to absorb the other Tailed Beasts, but I wonder what exactly it means to be synchronized with the statue.Diamonddeath (talk) 20:01, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

He said he needed to steal a substitute it was never specified, so its to Earlie to say that he meant someone that can synchronize with the statue, --Rigoberto60 (talk) 03:38, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

I told you that it was never summoned to sync. Maadara clearly said substitute, Which was not specific. --Rigoberto60 (talk) 02:54, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Statue's anatomy
"When summoned it bursts from the ground, with only its upper torso and arms visible." When Madara summoned this beauty, it showed off a nice pair of legs. (as it's written further in the page when it's ankles are referred) I don't know much of statue's anatomy but I think that's a pair of legs, so you should consider removing the last part of this sentence. (And I think you can guess why the thing started to wear a robe, nobody wants to see all its body parts)

Blasts
Before this becomes a huge thing: do the shock wave and blast thing the statue used in 537 count as fire and lightning? The wave after it got punched certainly looked like fire, and the thing it shot from the spike protrusion do look like lightning. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:07, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

what the statue is made of
especially on the pic of it behind madara in chapter 520, the statue in color and texture appears to be made of wood, should that be mentioned or is it possibly too much of a speculation at this point? To me at least, it seems clear, but I know I'm not a consensus... or even a majority 98.71.103.120 (talk) 05:57, May 25, 2011 (UTC)miah
 * We'd be assuming since we have no clue.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 11:19, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

I think now it's even more apperent it's made of wood. --Elveonora (talk) 02:27, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Still an assumption. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:48, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Well, it looks like wood ... don't think it's needed to wait for a confirmation from Kishi to tell you that wood is wood. It has: -Wood like colour -Wood like texture/skin -Broken branch like protrusions --Elveonora (talk) 03:09, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Or it could be brown marble. Or rocks. Or bronze. Or chocolate. No one ever said it was wood. Besides, lighting really influences these things. We've seen the statue since the beginning of part 2, and I don't recall people saying it was made of wood before. Pointless discussion is pointless. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:42, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think we should go with chocolate. That sounds legit.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 11:02, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Har Har Har. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 11:56, March 17, 2012 (UTC)

Still no wood? It has a wooden texture and branches ...--Elveonora (talk) 23:56, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

rinnegan
as far as i can tell the only reason anybody thinks gedo mazo can only be used by rinnegan users is because nagato used it so where does it say that and what does it say exactly.
 * If Madara could use it without having the Rinnegan, it would seem likely that he would. Since he only did it after acquiring the Rinnegan, for now, we take it as meaning the Rinnegan is required to summon it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:33, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Alive or Statue
Is this statue alive or just a statue? I'm very curious about it. --Ilnarutoanime 11:58, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Tool Classification
Since the statue is well...a statue shouldn't it be considered a ninja tool instead? Darksusanoo (talk) 01:11, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * It does seem more logical to treat the statue as tool in the infobox...it's kinda of redundant to have the Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and also hase Summoning Technique (Demonic Statue of the Outer path). It like saying it's two jutsus for the same thing. And since it's a statue maybe it should be classified as a tool. Opinions please? 2.80.103.63 (talk) 15:39, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then by your logic it's redundant to have articles for summoned entities like Katsuyu and Gamabunta since they're the same as the statue. One's a page for the technique and the other's for the the character...--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 16:03, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow ok this discussion i didn't took the turn i want...my point was that the statue has properties that fit better for a tool classification that that of an actual living summon creature (like you said Cerez Katsuyu and Gamabunta). My idea was to classify the Statue as tool instead of a living being, especially because it didn't ever showed any kind of personality or independant action. It's only shown working like a robot and it's a statue for both Madara and Nagato. What i think our other fellow wanted to state was that the Statue already has it's signature summon technique, and for it to show again in the basic summoning technique is kinda of repeating the point. Instead of the character being on the part of the basic summoning tech in the infobox list it in the tool section. If i recall correctly for example Kabuto has the basic summon tech(for snakes) and the Edo Tensei, yet on the list of creatures for the basic summon tech it does not list the edo tensei zombies. Did you get my point? Thougths please. Darksusanoo (talk) 17:17, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * But, the statue is alive though. Apart from the fact that we don't know much of anything about it since not all summoned entities are the same it has shown signs of life ever since it was first summoned so I'd be against listing it as a simple tool.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:22, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Then by that that logic Hashirama's clone couldn't be a tool either since for all intents and purposes it's also a living creature. The fact is that neither creatures have shown any form of sentience...their like puppets in a way...they can't do anything without a user unlike any other summon species like the toads, slugs and even the snakes. the point tha tell's them apart is the fact that unlike the other species the statue has not shown any form of sentience other than the fact that it blindly follows it's summoner's orders and it's fit for combat and sealing. Other than that it has no other properties than that of a giant statue. Darksusanoo (talk) 17:33, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Shadow clones are created not summoned so I don't understand what they have to do with any of this...--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:39, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I never mentioned shadow clones...i mentioned Hashirama's living clone that Madara created and is listed as tool in his infobox. It's also a living being but it's listed as tool. Darksusanoo (talk) 18:20, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh dear, why'd I see "Hiruzen's" :s Though that's "living" it doesn't have a consciousness as Madara stated. When we've seen the statue it acts as any other summoned creature and does its summoners bidding.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 18:40, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * hahaha happens to the best of us ;) The difference is from other summon creatures, is that outside of combat or sealing functions the statue does nothing: it does nothing other than being a statue..unlike any other summon like toads or slugs...like i said before the statue may be alive but it's not sentient...it's like a puppet minus the strings, it not made of flesh, nor is it seen doing anything outside the summoner's orders...it's a mindless tool. Darksusanoo (talk) 18:49, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Shinobi are tools, too. Should we list them as tools just because they follow orders? Seelentau 愛議 19:37, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice you're comparing sentient beings capable of coherent speech and feeling pain and emotions and perform multiple activities outside their orders to a giant statue who's never been seen forming an actual sentence or performing any form of independant action other than the commands of their respecitive summoners. Darksusanoo (talk) 19:50, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it stopped Kitsuchi from crashing it. That means it has a will to life. Or can you prove that Madara made the statue doing that? Also, can you prove that Nagato wanted the statue to use the dragon? We never saw him using any Jutsu besides the summoning of the statue. Everything else was done by the statue itself. Seelentau 愛議 19:59, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * First off if you wanna talk that the statue has defensive instinct why didn't it made any atempt to dogde or block any of Chouji's blows? The thing took then head on. And it only went on a rampage by Madara's order. And in Nagato's case he was directly connected to the statue and as soon as Hanzo's men were all dead and Hanzo gone the statue was gone. If Nagato wanted he could have given any other order to it. I'm not saying the thing is not alive, i'm saying that it does not appear to possess any form of sentience and outside of it's functions it does not appear to possess an actual mind. it's not like Gamabunta or Katsuyu. It may be animated but it's still a statue. Darksusanoo (talk) 20:25, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand your point. Also, I don't really care what the statue is labeled as. I just wanted to say that it's wrong to classify the statue as a tool just because it follows some orders ;) Seelentau 愛議 20:42, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course i understand that. If it were by that all shinobi were only tools ;) I'm just trying to put out the fact that the thing is a statue and that it does not do anything outside it's given orders. They "say seal"...and it seals, They "say fight" and it fight's. Nothing that suggests intelligent thought. But oww well i'll stop beating the point and wait for more opinions if anyone is interested Darksusanoo (talk) 22:04, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a rather interesting topic that was brought up. I think that for now, it should be kept as a character. It is alive, and despite the apparent limited intelligence, it has some independence of action, unlike the Hashirama clone. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:13, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Why...
why madara isn't pierced with chakra rods in the back, when he summoned the statue? --thedasilva1 (talk) 01:10, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I think Nagato did that for a different reason.--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 11:32, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because Madara just summoned it and Nagato used Kuchiyose: Gedō Mazō. Seelentau 愛議 12:00, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Madara Summoned the statue like Nagato did, there was no difference --thedasilva1 (talk) 1:37, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Madara didn't have to power the statue to use the soul-ripping technique. While it did use other techniques, it probably use the chakra of the tailed beasts sealed in it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:24, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Rings?
Anyone notice how when Gedo Mazo was summoned to seal the tailed beast, it had Rings on? But when summoned to the battle field, it has no rings at that point. Also, im new to wikia editing. xDSkarrj (talk) 05:54, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't remember seeing the statue wearing any rings at all. You need to provide a source so others can see what you're talking about.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 11:27, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Summoning
Should it be mentioned in trivia that when Nagato summoned him, he came out of the ground instead of a puff of smoke? Joshbl56 01:29, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

picture
What about a picture showing the Statue without blindfold? To show it's 9 eyes. --Elveonora (talk) 04:52, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Its image in the infobox is without the blindfold. It's a bit far from the face, but in full size you can clearly see the eyes, and even tell which ones are closed and see most of the pupils in the opened ones. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 05:01, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I mean image from anime ... for example Shukaku sealing. --Elveonora (talk) 05:16, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't recall there being good angles on those. Most of the shots from sealings show the statue with the dragons coming out and going at the host. In an image showing the sealing, I think that would be the most important thing about it. Its eyes are not that import to warrant a close from it, like a dōjutsu would be. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 05:23, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Well, since the manga version does not have the ring kanji on the fingertips, it is less descriptive than the anime one. Now, if we can enhance the size and resolution of the anime, then it'd be better, right? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 05:36, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * In chapter 255, it shows the statue with the ring kanji. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:35, December 25, 2011 (UTC)

Dragon technique
Why isn't the statue's dragon-ish soul removal listed as a jutsu like the other techniques it's been seen doing? Darksusanoo (talk) 23:05, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

It's listed as one of Nagato's Jutsu, Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals--TricksterKing (talk) 23:23, February 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * And? The Outer Path chakra chains are listed as one of Tobi's jutsus but are also listed as one of the Statue's techniques. Darksusanoo (talk) 23:27, February 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, the thing Nagato did when he first summoned the statue is listed under Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which is what was used. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:33, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Outer Path
I'm not exactly sure how to phrase my question, but whatever. :) Okay, so I guess I understand what the Outer Path is, or rather understand as much as it can be with the current lack of exposition. Are we treating Gedō Mazō as a part of the Outer Path ability? It kind of seems like the statue can use at least part of the Outer Path ability, seeing as it can use the path's Chakra Chains, so shouldn't it be listed as a user of that as well? Skitts (talk) 22:21, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Bump. Skitts (talk) 04:18, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd always assumed that it had something to do with the Outer Path as the name for it is the demonic Statue of the Outer Path but I don't know about clumping it together with the actual Outer Path. Chakra Chains is listed as a jutsu it can use as well. Joshbl56  04:33, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Maybe both Nagato and the Statue are Outer Path ... life-death "_" after all, he was able to use it after it has pierced his back.--Elveonora (talk) 13:10, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

@Joshbl56 Tobi mentioned that the Chakra Chains he used was an ability provided by using the Outer Path, which would mean the Statue uses it as well, no? Skitts (talk) 14:34, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Well, over at the German Narutopedia, I solved this question the following way: As we all know, the Rinnegan grants the user six paths as well as the seventh path, the Gedō. The 7th path allows the user to do two things. The first is to revive people by using the Rinne Tensei Jutsu. The second is to control corpses by using the Gedō no Jutsu (mentioned by Naruto) and the Chakra transmitters. But I see, that's not the question here^^ I really don't have a clue how the Gedō Mazō fits in here. It isn't used for either of the Gedō's abilities, that much is obvious. I don't think that the Chakra chains used by Tobi are the same Gedō Mazō's using. When the Yonbi was shown, we could see two types of chains, right? I think the one going through the Yonbi's chest is the one used by Gedō Mazō while the ones on Yonbi's arms are the ones Tobi is using to control the Jinchūriki through the ability Gedō's granting him (Tobi). Seelentau 愛議 17:30, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

@Skitts, I meant that Chakra Chains is already one of it's jutsus. Also, when people say Outer Path, I think of Nagato and the King of Hell but I think Elveonora is probably the closest one here as far as the life and death situation as well. The Outer Path's description says that it revives people, which is the life and the Statue takes life away through his Ghost Dragon things, which is death.oshbl56| Joshbl56 ]] 17:58, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hm. Unless I've missed something, we may need to revise the Outer Path article. As I understand it (and what Seelentau appears to have said), each of 7 Paths is an ability/technique that allows the user access to a subset of related techniques. For example, the Deva Path is an ability that allows the user access to techniques that manipulate forces in general. 2 of them control Gravity (Banshō Tenin and Chibaku Tensei) while the other (Shinra Tensei) manipulates a "repulsive force" (as per ShounenSuki's translation). However, the Outer Path article says that the Outer Path ability allows one to revive the dead, but that would be the technique it allows access to, the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, not the Outer Path itself, since that ability allows other things besides that. Perhaps I've misunderstood/mixed things up, but I think that is correct. Skitts (talk) 18:37, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, the whole topic is somewhat mixed up on this wiki. The Outer Path is a technique that allows the user to control life (Rinne Tensei) and death (Outer Path no Jutsu). At least that's what I understand it to be. Seelentau 愛議 18:46, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

That's correct.--Elveonora (talk) 18:53, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I thought so. I'm going to go make a new topic on the Outer Path talk page. Skitts (talk) 18:59, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Body Of The Ten Tailed Beast
The latest chapter revealed that the statue is the body of the Ten Tailed Beast excavated from the moon and returned to Earth. 207.216.193.21 (talk) 13:12, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well I expected this to happen either way. The translation said it is the vessel of the Ten-Tails. Not its body. It'd be the same thing as a jinchūriki possibly.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 13:15, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

I knew that since day one, it makes sense.--Elveonora (talk) 13:31, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Well... both the translations I read said "body", but that could just be one interpretation. 207.216.193.21 (talk) 19:50, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

It's obviously a body, not a vessel ...--Elveonora (talk) 22:01, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

The statue has "sawn-off" looking spikes on it's back, the Ten Tails has spikes on it's back. The statue doesn't have tails because it's chakra was split into the 9 beasts so that could be why it doesn't have tails at this point. Although the statue has more then the "One eye" the Ten Tails is said to have, has any of the beasts said anything about it only having the one eye? Or are we just going on what everyone's heard in the legends? There could always be the possibility that it has more then the one eye? SusanooUnleashed (talk) 02:18, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Why is everyone forgetting that the beast's body was sealed within the moon? I really doubt Madara or anyone had time to journey to the moon and break it out without the entire structure breaking down or no one noticing. Naturally you're going to find similarities between the two but it was called a vessel, so until we know better, it's simply a vessel, not the things body. We have to work off what we know.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 12:56, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Didn't Nagato summon it?--Elveonora (talk) 15:28, July 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes and it came from the ground. But when was it ever said the Sage placed a contract on the beast's body or better yet why would he do that? I think there's a missing piece to the story we don't know just yet. For now we can't represent it as anything else but a vessel.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 16:20, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Sage even planned it's revival, or more like has foreseen. The thing that it came from the ground instead of puff of smoke is a curiosity in itself. Also who said that a Sage placed a contract seal on it? I think it's more like that wielders of Rinnegan can do that--Elveonora (talk) 17:53, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Differences when Nagato and Tobi summoned it?
Should it be added to Trivia or somewhere else that when Nagato summoned it, the statue pierced him in the back but it didn't when Tobi summoned it?

sign your posts, because Tobi didn't summon it for the purpose of "soul sucking dragons no jutsu" thingy--Elveonora (talk) 23:53, August 23, 2012 (UTC)

merger...
I think it's time to merge this with "Ten-Tails" since it's one and the same thing, just lacking it's original chakra/power.--Elveonora (talk) 15:52, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with this. Leodix   (議論 16:46, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * On the same note, is it safe to merge the article on Nagato summoning it as well?--BeyondRed (talk) 18:20, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think a merger is necessary. The Demonic Statue is well, a statue, the lifeless husk. The Ten-Tails is the living, breaking primordial demon. Major difference between the two in terms of article.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 18:27, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * edit conflictAlong with the fact that the statue has a name, and named techniques, I think they can stay separate with the relevant notations made.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 18:34, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

We didn't merge the nine Tailed Beasts when they were to revealed to originally be the same being, no point in these mergers as well. A more appropriate discussion regarding this, in my opinion, is what to consider the entity to be after it has finished merging the chakra of seven tailed beasts. Do we refer to it and list it as an incomplete Ten-Tails, or do we keep listing it as the statue? I think that it should be listed and considered an incomplete Ten-Tails.

But it's still the same entity, just without it's tails and eye, simply weaker. That's like saying Kakashi wouldn't be a copy-ninja anymore if he had lost the Sharingan to blindness currently. Also the appearance section should be updated "now" that we know how it looks recently, that's why a merger would be better than to refer to a single character in two articles--Elveonora (talk) 23:44, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, why did we merge Tobi and Obito pages? Even if they're the same person they use different names and are entirely different personality wise. * sarcastic* But really, this is the Ten-Tails no matter how you stretch it. The Juubi was never even stated to have died. And it was sealed, only more proof it was still dangerous and still it's old self- despite having it's chakra severely drained. I suggest we merge the pages, list the name Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in the alias section and change it's class to 'Summon, Tailed Beast', split the appearance section, give it 2 pictures through the tabs like the Obito/Tobi page got. And add the abilities sections into one or keep them separated. Also keep in mind Kurama had it's chakra removed by naruto and still had a small amount left, likely the case with the statue as there was still enough left to indefinately prolong Madara's life, empower Spiral Zetsu, and create hundreds of Zetsu Clones. And we already know that Tailed Beasts with chakra missing, coughKinkaku&Ginkakucough, will try and drain the chakra back. At the very least you gotta make them have a family section saying they're related and change the classifications. Skarrj (talk) 09:05, October 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * That makes no sense. Tobi despite his behaviour, is still Tobi- one single person. All of that merging and splitting up of information in the article is entirely unnecessary to me in this case. One's a statue the other the Ten-Tails. The manner in which you even want to present the information is confusing from just reading it. As for your concerns Omni, I always thought that once it was done the merging and such all other info would just go on the Ten-Tails' article with appropriate redirects and such.Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 10:43, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
