Talk:Yashamaru

Trivia
This was part of the trivia note on Yashamaru being portrayed as a female in the other language versions. "'Probably the strongest argument for this belief is that it is Sakura's injured figure at his hands that gives him the flashback to his early childhood, when he wounded Yashamaru'." I don't quite follow the wording of it. Primarily, Sakura is female... The wording on who gets the flashback doesn't clearly state who gets the flashback, but the ending particularly confuses me, because neither person mentioned could logically be the person getting the flashback... Sakura is undeniably female, so the he excludes that, and Yashamaru was the one being attacked, so how can he be the one doing the attacking? Anyone want to shed some enlightenment on this? (Eek... Maddness Dad series flashback..... yuuuuuck...). ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Dec 11, 2007 @ 04:11 (UTC)

Holy crap I thought he was girl lol--Zicoihno (talk) 03:43, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

i believe yashamaru is kind of like itachi, both of them died deceiving the person closet to them, and they both kind of gave that person their initial path in life through there lies, is that worthy of trivia? --Caseather (talk) 23:23, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's the kind of trivia we avoid. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:34, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

for what reason?--Caseather (talk) 23:40, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because back when we listed similarities like that, trivia sections became too big and unwieldy. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:44, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Age
It says that Yashamaru is/was 27. Does that mean that he was 27 when he died or would he have been 27 if he had survived to Part 1? Also, how old was Gaara approximately when Yashamaru killed himself? 124.150.54.70 (talk) 13:44, April 12, 2011 (UTC)Woolfy
 * Yashamaru was 27 when he died and Gaara was six. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:15, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Chapter 547
The new chapter reveals alot. Did Yashamaru really hate Gaara? It seems that it was, in fact, all an order from the 4th Kazekage, to get Gaara to control Shukaku. It reveals that Karura did in fact love Gaara, so there would have been no need for Yashamaru's revenge or hatred. Sparxs77 (talk) 19:18, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

I kind agree with that. I think Yashamaru did care for Gaara.-- Ninja Sheik  19:20, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah yes apparently his article hasn't been edited to reflect the new chapter yet.--19:25, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

Also from the chapter, should we take that Yashamaru was part of the Suna Council? He was part of the meeting in which they discussed village affairs. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:55, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was wondering about this. It is possible that Yondaime just asked him to it in on that meeting but from the scene it could go either way. On the other hand, Kankurō and Temari both occupy seats at the meetings but aren't considered councillors. So I'd say a trivia mention in his article perhaps?--Cerez365™ Hyūga Symbol.svg 12:44, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe after the timeskip, as important jōnin, they are councillors? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 14:31, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * About Yashamaru, I think he should. Mentioned he is the right-hand man of the Kazekage. --Ilnarutoanime 21:29, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

ANBU vs Chunin
The databook states he is a chunin, but now Chapter 548 says he's an ANBU. So which one is the more reliable source? Yatanogarasu 08:17, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would list him as an ANBU and make a note of the discrepancy in the trivia section. I wouldn't be surprised if his membership of the ANBU was a secret or something, and since the databooks 'only list what we could know'… —ShounenSuki (talk 11:08, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, ANBU are shinobi whose previous rank, age, and gender do not matter in terms of selection. That means, an ANBU could've been a genin, chunin, or jonin. That means Yashamaru is selected to be an ANBU when he is at the rank of chunin, just like Itachi (who has never been promoted to jonin, but became an ANBU). How do we put that in? Yatanogarasu 21:54, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * It could be said in the background section, but it really doesn't matter what rank one had before being promote to ANBU, as ANBU outranks them all, except kage. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:10, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Guy and girl
She is a girl and not a guy because in the manga gaara's mother she said my sister and not my brother
 * Cool story bro. —ShounenSuki (talk 16:34, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
