Is the Susanoo clad Kurama anime picture worth adding in Madara's abilities?
Can someone add the picture of anime Susanoo-clad Kurama to Madara's abilities? If possible?--JustaNobody (talk) 06:03, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's not a different development stage of Susanoo, that's why the image was removed in the first place. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 12:18, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Ay yo Omni, can't we just have a "Shape Transformation" section like we have for weaponry and the rest? For Sasuke and Madara? WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 16:50, July 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that it should be documented in some form. I don't see why its such a bad thing to just add it to the pre-existing image galleries. Kishi made a point of making Sasuke note that he'd copied Madara when he did the same thing to Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode, so obviously it wasn't just some random event. May not be a developmental stage, but it is still something unique that only Madara and Sasuke can do. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 20:11, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't oppose them being shown in galleries on principle, I just recall there being discussions that lead to their removal before, I'm neutral on this. I just think that if the previous decision is being overturned, people should be a part of it. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:16, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed on that count. I will wait for more opinions while trying to come up with a possible secondary solution should adding it to the pre-existing galleries not please others. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 20:30, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

It's been a while now. Shouldn't we have a "Shape Transformation" section for Susanoo? Yes, it is not a developmental stage, and doesn't deserve to be in the characters/users' galleries, but they should still be documented in some way. We have a section for Weaponry, why not Shape Transformation? The Weaponry section isn't a developmental stage like Shape Transformation, but I agree with Foxie, it should be documented. It is the only unique ability of Susanoo that has just been left out. And since Omni is neutral on this and Foxie has already given his opinion, what do other sysops and rollbacks think? This issue should be addressed, if it hasn't been already. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 16:50, July 7, 2014 (UTC)

Just add it pals, saves all the wrinkles. Imo stabilized Susanoo is but a shape transformation version of unstabilized, yet we document that--Elveonora (talk) 11:05, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

^^^^Been waiting for a response forever now... but we don't have the images to do so. I already have a summary for it and everything, I just need images. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 18:25, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

terminology
This is something that is in serious need to be addressed. Was the term "perfect susanoo" ever used in manga? Same for "final susanoo" ? Because we either label the very final form as "perfect" for the sake of consistency (because some not-to-be-named persons around like to throw that term around a lot) or we delete all mentions of perfect.--Elveonora (talk) 20:48, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * All we know about Susanoo terminology is what Madara said. Basically, there are two different stages of Susanoo aside from the "complete" one: the "final" and the "stabilised" version. I dunno why someone keeps calling the stabilised final form "perfect". Maybe because the scans said it was "Perfect Susanoo", who knows?--Mangekyō Sharingan Izuna.svg JOA20 20:57, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure Madara did indeed call his Susanoo "perfect" but it's unclear whether he was referring only to the fourth (stabilised) form or his Susanoo as a whole, since he called it that when it entered its third form. As for "final", it is a completely made-up term for the wiki, and we now know that it is in fact not the final form. The only remotely canon names of Susanoo's forms are "stabilised" and "complete" (the latter only comes from chapter 478's original title, I believe).--BeyondRed (talk) 21:24, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * That is false. I actually have Madara's exact quote from that scene: "I see… This is truly worthy of shinobi who bear the name Kage. Then I, Madara Uchiha, shall respond with full power! The five Kage are nothing compared to me! This is… my perfect Susanoo!" The form that appears is the unstabalized version, meaning that the "perfect" Susanoo has two forms. Unstabliized and stabilized. Edit: The Japanese word he used was kansei 完成 which can mean both "complete" and "perfect". It is also a word used to denote perfection. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 01:20, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * If this is the case, why don't we call the forms "perfect" or "complete", rather than the unofficial "final"? This would mean that the (significantly smaller) armored forms used by Itachi and Sasuke are also unstabilised perfect/complete Susanoo, would it not?--BeyondRed (talk) 01:59, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, Ten-Tailed Fox, the next chapter goes to clarify the armoed form her shown in 588 wasn't his Perfect Susano'o. Madara had to make it change shape and then called it 'Perfect'.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 02:05, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't. It talks about his stabilized Susanoo being "destruction incarnate". @Red: The smaller forms don't have names. Only the large unstabilized and stabilized forms have names. And yes, we should change them. This "wiki terminology" needed to go long ago. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 02:12, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * If the normal armored form was his Perfect Susano'o, why even bother stabilizing it?--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 02:21, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Look, you can argue it all you want, that's what the manga says, so that's what it is. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 02:23, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * And the manga says, when Mei asked if that form was Perfect Susano'o? Madara explicitly said 'Not quite yet', then thought 'Settle' and then its massive form was shown.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 02:26, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's why I'm saying "perfect" Susanoo has two forms. Unstabilized and stabilized. Madara explicitly calls the unstabilized form his "perfect" Susanoo, then states the quote that you just referenced. Conclusion? They both are. The only difference is one's chakra is wild and the other's is "settle[d] down". ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 02:30, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Or the unstabilized form was just shown so Madara could show off his true Perfect Susano'o after. Some of the termininology call it 'True Susano'o' too.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 02:31, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * No they don't. The Japanese word used is kansei, as I stated above, which means "complete" or "perfect", leaning towards perfect, since it also means "perfection". "True" is a scanlation error. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 02:33, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

The Viz manga as well as the official subtitles of the depicted anime episode called it "Perfect" and when stabilized he said "Settle down!!" and unstabilized type is called "True" according to Mei's statement. — Shakhmoot  (Talk) 02:35, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Thanks Shakhmoot. True Susanoo is the name given for the unstabilized Armored version, Perfect is for the Stabilized Chakra version.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 02:41, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * No it is not. He says "This is my perfect Susanoo" (kanseihin Susanoo; literally meaning "perfected Susanoo"). That's what it says when he summons the "unstabilized" version. You both can't argue with the original Japanese. That's what it says. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 03:02, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Then what was the Japanese for what Mei said? She calls it True Susano'o and Madara makes the effort to have his Susano'o stabilize to an entire different version. You're extrapolating that both are Perfect Susano'o.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 03:03, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think you know what the word "extrapolating" means. Secondly, Mei uses the word honto 本当 which means "true" or "reality", but we don't care what she says. Madara calls it kansei 完成, or, more literally, kanseihin Susanoo 完成品須佐能乎, which means "perfected Susanoo". Madara's term is more important because it is his Susanoo. Mei's term is referring to reality. Basically she's saying his Susanoo is the true form of Susanoo. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 03:08, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Butting in: He actually calls it Kanzentai Susanoo, meaning Complete Body Susanoo. I actually don't even know when he used your terms, Fox. • Seelentau 愛 議 09:17, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * HA! So what do we do now?--Elveonora (talk) 14:17, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Really now? That's interesting. Well, if he calls it "complete body Susanoo", then we should go for maybe "complete" or, hell, I'm fine with "complete body" too. The only reason I'm arguing this is because I reject the previous logic of just using made-up wiki terms to describe Susanoo's development because they're more convenient. If that's what Madara called the form, then that's what we need to call it too. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 16:00, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Seelantau, why do most translations go Perfec Susano'o again, including the official one?--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 19:09, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * 完全 kanzen can either mean perfect or complete. 体 tai means body. So it's a complete/perfect body Susanoo. However, Kanzentai Susanoo is most likely not a term like Mangekyo Sharingan, but rather a description. • Seelentau 愛 議 09:45, July 14, 2014 (UTC)

The wiki currently refers to the second stage of Susanoo's development as "complete" based off of chapter 478's original title calling it "kanzentai" as well, so if the stabilised (and Madara's unstabilised) forms are to be considered kanzentai Susanoo, the names of the other stages would need to be changed as well. Is there anything else in the series that could be used as names for the skeletal, "complete", and armoured forms? Or would we just have to refer to them in those sorts of descriptive terms?--BeyondRed (talk) 23:35, July 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Since the title was changed, I assume that Kishimoto changed his mind about what a Kanzentai Susanoo is. If it's not the one seen in that chapter, it's obviously the one seen the other time this term was used: Madara's complete, stabilized Susanoo. Going from this, a Kanzentai Susanoo is a Susanoo with a full body, a full armout and its chakra stabilized. Sasuke achieved this in the fourth war. For everything else, no term was given, if I recall correctly. • Seelentau 愛 議 11:58, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * The title was changed? That's enough of a confirmation that Knzentai Susanoo is an official term to me. What about these suggestions:

Any objections?--Elveonora (talk) 12:36, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * We change what we currently label as Complete into Incomplete
 * Final will be changed just to "Susanoo" we may optionally use Complete just to point out it's... complete
 * The last forms will be called perfect unstabillized and perfect stabilized
 * Ya. It's not perfect if the chakra ain't stabilized. • Seelentau 愛 議 12:43, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Only the stabilized one was labeled perfect? In that case Full-Body Complete Susanoo will be the second to last.--Elveonora (talk) 12:45, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, there is no official list of steps. I think we should go by skeleton-warrior-armoured warrior. Everything else are sub-steps or so. • Seelentau 愛 議 12:50, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's best to keep it simple:


 * Incomplete Susanoo ribcage
 * Incomplete Susanoo skeleton
 * Incomplete Susanoo with flesh
 * Full-Body Incomplete Susanoo
 * Complete Susanoo/Complete Susanoo (Eternal Mangekyou)
 * Perfect Susanoo/Perfect Susanoo (Eternal Mangekyou)

The in-between states don't need a picture and the four-armed versions are just variants that can be mentioned in the article, don't need a picture either.--Elveonora (talk) 13:02, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * You say simpler, but you make it more complicated. There are no six steps necessary. We have a Susanoo made of bones, one made of the simple soldier and one made of the soldier with his armour. Also, there's no difference between complete and perfect Susanoo. • Seelentau 愛 議 13:05, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * I know officially there isn't, I used complete for what we currently label as final (armored soldier)--Elveonora (talk) 13:07, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hm, dunno, haven't checked the article. To be clear, I think the best way of differenting would be this:
 * Skeleton Susanoo
 * Everything from the ribcage to the arms to the complete upper body
 * Warrior Susanoo
 * Everything from the warrior's ribcage to his arms to his complete body
 * Armoured Warrior Susanoo
 * Everything from the armoured warrior's ribcage to his arms to his complete body. However, only the complete body with its chakra stabilized is the Kanzentai Susanoo.
 * Was that clear enough? ^^ • Seelentau 愛 議 13:19, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Sounds kinda fanon though :P I like my version better. We should keep it similar to the way it is now, as not to confuse the fanbase with completely new terms. Everything pre-armored warrior I'd label as Incomplete--Elveonora (talk) 13:41, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Uh, since there is no official differentiation, every list is fanon. Mine is just the shortest and most uncomplicated one. • Seelentau 愛 議 13:45, July 15, 2014 (UTC)

Uh, would anybody be opposed to not providing images of the ribcage at all? Besides color, there's nothing to differentiate the partial uses of the ribcage besides how MUCH of it they wish to materialize. Can we just leave it at the complete skeletal forms 'n up? —「SaiST」Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke (Eternal).svg 14:15, July 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Truth be told, I wouldn't be against the idea to limit the images to maybe the most up to date (or the most iconic) version of their Susanoo. Most iconic because, yeah that's the one people see more often than not, but I could go with most recent as well because yeah, most recent means "most done" so to speak. Then you can toss at least one image of say the ribs somewhere and Susanoo on Kurama another.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 14:20, July 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Really? I think there should be a separate section for Susanoo-Equipped Kurama. It is not a new developmental stage, but don't get me wrong, it should be documented somewhere, just in a separate section. WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 00:35, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * For terminology, I think it should go like this:
 * Ribcage Susanoo
 * Skeletal Susanoo
 * Complete Legless Susanoo (Mangekyo Sharingan version)
 * Complete Legged Susanoo (Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan Version)
 * Armored Susanoo (Mangekyo Sharingan Version)
 * Perfect Susanoo Unstabilized (Eternal Mangekyo Version)
 * Perfect Susanoo Stabilized (Eternal Mangekyo Version)

How does this sound?--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 02:05, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * As complicated and redundant as Elve's. I mean, how do a ribcage of the skeletal Susanoo and the full skeletal Susanoo differ? Do you want to include a special stage for just one arm, too? The ribcage is a partial manifestation of the skeletal Susanoo, as is the arm. Also, there is no perfect unstabilized Susanoo. • Seelentau 愛 議 09:21, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * '_' What's your opinion on version with lower body, different stage or is legless Susanoo just "partial manifestation" ? Also if you find my last one complicated still, in that case:


 * Incomplete Susanoo skeleton
 * Incomplete Susanoo with flesh
 * Susanoo/Susanoo (Eternal Mangekyou)
 * Perfect Susanoo/ Perfect Susanoo (Eternal Mangekyou)--Elveonora (talk) 11:29, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's like my list, except from that I don't list the Kanzentai Susanoo as a fourth stage. Like this. • Seelentau 愛 議 11:39, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Good. But you omit the armored version as stage, why? There's armorless warrior and armored warrior.--Elveonora (talk) 11:55, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * The armoured warrior is the one Sasuke achieved for a short time when he confronted Kakashi at the bridge about the Uchiha clan. It faded very fast. The normal warrior is the one that he used against Danzō. When I say "armoured Susanoo", I mean the one with a shugenja armour.
 * However, after checking the article, I think it's probably not possible to make a clear list of stages. I mean, look at Sasuke's many Susanoo forms... • Seelentau 愛 議 12:01, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hence why I said earlier it would be easier if we just make note of either their most iconic forms or their most recent. It looks as if Susanoo's forms are at a whim of their creator so having multiple notations for ribcages, incomplete, ect doesn't seem all that necessary.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 12:03, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * @Seel, why not? Sasuke's forms do not differ any from progression of the other users. In my opinion each "layer" should be considered a form. So the latest proposition works imo:

--Elveonora (talk) 12:17, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * full skeleton
 * + layer of flesh = full body
 * + layer of armor = armored
 * + stabilization = perfect
 * Works for me. • Seelentau 愛 議 12:20, July 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * The thing is, it's easy to change the terms in Susanoo article, but bot work may be needed to change that in all, because doing that one by one in 20 or more articles is more work than it's worth. But I'm not even sure if a bot can do that--Elveonora (talk) 12:22, July 16, 2014 (UTC)

Bump. Now worth doing because it's too much effort for little reward or are we waiting for more opinions?--Elveonora (talk) 13:29, July 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll help begin the edits!--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 04:25, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

While on this subject, is it really neccessary to call Madara's later forms "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Version" when they're the only forms we've seen? We don't know if Madara's Susanoo changed like Sasuke's did, and none of Madara's forms exactly match up with Sasuke's armoured form anyway.--BeyondRed (talk) 04:54, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Sasuke's
"complete Susanoo with a changed head" what's that? Shouldn't it rather say something like "complete susanoo eternal mengekyou sharingan version" ?--Elveonora (talk) 20:49, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Technically, it should be "Rinnegan version," cause when Sasuke had the EMS, his Susanoo, both complete and stabilized (at least in chapter 650), it bore a grin, or at least had visible human-like teeth. After gaining Hagoromo's chakra and the Rinnegan, both stage of Susanoo gained holes in the mouth area rather than the teeth, like Indra's. WindStar7125   (Talk) (Contributions) 21:03, July 12, 2014 (UTC)

Isn't that picture just Sasuke's Susanoo in mid transition from its complete to stabilised forms?--BeyondRed (talk) 21:24, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nope, and if you look at the full body version right next to it, you can see the facial changes there too. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Sasuke's Rinnegan (Purple).svg 03:32, July 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * It has the old smile in the chapter just before that one though (647). If anything, it seems like it can just change its mouth at (Sasuke's) will, unless it's a minor inconsistency. Hopefully we'll see that form one more time before the manga ends.--BeyondRed (talk) 03:56, July 13, 2014 (UTC)

Need a picture of Madara's Susano'o with Kurama being equipped by it.
For the Shape Transformation part of the article. No one has uploaded a new picture that can be used, even after the latest episode.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 00:48, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Kakashi's Susanoo
I think we should leave a note that the Susanoo ability comes from the eyes, and considering the way Obito was talking, it's likely Obito could have used Susanoo as well, hence I think we should call it 'Kakashi/Obito's Susanoo'

Hadrimon (talk) 11:14, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

I agree, but i don't think they would let me edit it that way. --ShenLong Kazama (talk) 11:42, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought so, too. But seeing the scar, I doubt that it's Obito's Susanoo. Maybe he could use one, too, but not the one we see in that chapter. • Seelentau 愛 議 11:46, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sometimes its about the user, rather than the eyes themselves. Perhaps, in the same way Madara could draw more power from his eyes, Kakashi is just 'better' with Obito's eyes? --Atrix471 (talk) 11:49, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

As we've seen though, Sasuke gained Itachi's powers from his eyes. It just seems suggestable from the dailogue that Obito knew this would be the result of giving him the eyes. If not, I think we could make a note Obito was 'capable' of the Susanoo, but wasn't shown on screen, like how we have a note on Ginkaku's page about his tailed beast mode. Hadrimon (talk) 12:03, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but Obito's Susanoo would've looked different. I agree that he could've used it, but not with the same looks. • Seelentau 愛 議 12:05, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

It were Obito's eyes so i think the Susanoo would look the same. And we don't know if the marking is a scar or not, we didn't see the Susanoo barely. Because Kakashi isn't an Uchiha, and the Susanoo is awakened through the eyes, but after that you don't need eyes to activated it, like Madara did. Another theory is that Obito somehow merged or gave his DNA/abilities to Kakashi, which makes it even more plausible that it was Obito's Susanoo but now that he's dead and gave his eyes to Kakashi it's his. Similiar to Itachi's eyes being transplanted. Since the original user is dead, the power now belongs to the person who wields it. But it should be added that it WAS Obito's Susanoo and IS now Kakashi's. --ShenLong Kazama (talk) 13:20, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * You can see that it's a scar... • Seelentau 愛 議 13:29, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

We've only seen one half of the face so we'll see. And it's still debatable if it's Obito's Susanoo or Kakashi's, because Obito transferred his essence into Kakashi. If Obito leaves and Kakashi loses Susanoo and the MS eyes than we have 100% confirmation that it was Obito's power and a temporarily powerup. --ShenLong Kazama (talk) 14:32, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * We've seen the part of the face with the scar... • Seelentau 愛 議 14:33, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Kishi went out of his way to ensure it looked like Kakashi's Susanoo, since it has a forehead protector too. Honestly I'm surprised it doesn't have a face mask... --Atrix471 (talk) 14:38, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

Seelentau, can you read? We only saw the side of the face which has the marking, if the other side has a marking aswell, it's not a scar. --ShenLong Kazama (talk) 15:25, August 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * Susanoo is the manifestation of the user's chakra. Is Obito using Susanoo? No. Kakashi is. Its his chakra that is manifesting therefore it is his own Susanoo. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Rinnegan Sasuke.svg 00:20, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Seeing as Ghost Obito entered Kakashi's body, it was likely his chakra that activated the Sharingan with Kakashi's own eyes, so logic would dictate that Obito, who by all accounts seemed to know what the result would be, would have had access to Susanoo when he had both his eyes. Given how he hasn't returned to Rin yet (afaik) and claimed the Susanoo would expire, this warrants at least a "Presumed" tag and that the Susanoo be referred to Obito's if not both Kakashi and Obito's.--Reliops (talk) 00:24, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Only that's not going to happen because Obito never used Susanoo and he said that it might expire, but that he didn't know. Not enough for me to say it will ever expire. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Rinnegan Sasuke.svg 00:25, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * This. I do not know why people think this is Obito's Susanoo. Doesn't Sasuke have Itachi's eyes, like how Kakashi has Obito's, but it is Sasuke's Susanoo? I'm well aware Sasuke used Susanoo before getting Itachi's eyes, but like Foxie said, Susanoo is the manifestation of the user's chakra. Obito isn't using Susanoo, maybe he could, but he hasn't and probably won't, so it is Kakashi's and only Kakashi's Susanoo. I do not know why this is a debate or a question who's Susanoo it is. Has anyone ever heard of a person transferring their Susanoo to another user? C'mon now. WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 01:26, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Then you're being needlessly difficult over a technicality that you want spoon fed to you as though you can't read between the lines. A lot of people assumed Minato was a jinchūriki when he died. When Minato came back as an Edo and it turned out he was. Now, I'm not saying we should have attributed jinchūriki status to Minato way back when, but there is something to be learned from it. Kishimoto doesn't do full truths and answers. Now here's the situation. The Sharingan is awakened by UCHIHA chakra. Obito is an Uchiha. Obito returned to the material world. Obito entered Kakashi's body similar to when Dan entered Tsunade's consciousness and gave her chakra to survive. Logic (and facts according to Tobirama) would dictate that Kakashi wouldn't have awakened the Sharingan without Obito's chakra. Are you still with me? OK. Now that same logic would dictate that Obito, who by all indications seemed to KNOW what he did, was in possession of Susanoo at the time of his death. Now I've been hanging around this wikipedia for years and I have seen all kinds of inconsistencies and outright blatant mistakes, but if there's one thing this wiki seems to excel at, it's learning from mistakes. Not attributing Obito with Susanoo and acknowledging the Susanoo Kakashi manifested was more than probably his, would be a mistake. Kishimoto (and all manga-ka) conveys what he can with the limited number of pages and spaces he has, so yeah, he'll rely on us connecting the dots by following the logic of his manga. Logic dictates Obito had Susanoo at the time of his death. And I remind you again that same logic dictated Minato had jinchūriki powers at the time of his death. So how about we stop with the silly games and just get down to brass tacks and make a decision based on that?--Reliops (talk) 01:40, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

I would like to see if we can reach a consensus here.--Reliops (talk) 15:37, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't know what consensus you desire, but I'm for referring it as Kakashi's Susanoo, because it is his. What Obito's Susanoo may look like is a fine guessing game, it may look exactly like Kakashi's minus the the obvious scar that's there for obvious reasons, but until Ghost Obito comes up and whips out his own, this one is Kakashi's.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:46, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Did you not read my post above? There is no logical reason to believe this Susanoo is Kakashi's and Kakashi's alone. All evidence points to Obito having Susanoo and that Susanno being just as much his as it is Kakashi's.--Reliops (talk) 16:26, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Given the fact that no one here can explain what exactly happened in that chapter, we can only go by what we see: Kakashi is using the Susanoo. So if we say Kakashi's Susanoo, we're basing this solely on the fact that he was the one to use it. If we get more information on this (ha ha, as if we would), we can change it accordingly. • Seelentau 愛 議 16:50, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

By the time the consensus (sysops, rollbacks) decide and a agree on one topic, TU3 decides. He's an authority here. By the time he and the consensus agree, it's official. That is period and final. Argue all you want, it is Kakashi and only Kakashi's Susanoo. We are done here. Argue all you want. Go ahead, make another big paragraph. It's not gonna change anything. It's Kakashi's not Obito's. Nothing you say will change that. Unless the manga says otherwise, for right now, it's Kakashi's. WindStar7125   (Talk) (Contributions) 16:56, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't you are using the word "consensus" correctly.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 16:57, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Well, thanks. My point was that the majority decides here. Not one person with their opinion. Recently, you've been ending discussions that get out of hand (Though I know others can do the same). So that was all I was saying. I wasn't saying it was all on you though. The majority decides. If they can't, you usually take action, TU3. My bad if I sounded like I was saying "It's up to the TU3 to make a final judgement." End of the day, the consensus decides. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 17:27, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Fun fact: A majority decision is not always correct. ;) • Seelentau 愛 議 17:32, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * I do put a stop to discussions when they are no longer discussions and just become and back and forth dick waving contests. Those never end and consensus can never be reached. Or they were reached but one or so users continue to bring it up as if to change the decision based on how much they can annoy someone.
 * Also a consensus is not a vote. 5 people can come to a consensus that Naruto's hair is red, but 1 person comes in and proves them wrong and that guy wins, regardless of the consensus made. This issue here is one of them. Regardless of how many people vote on calling it Kakashi or Obito's Susanoo, the fact that Obito has never used it means it is not his.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 17:33, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

The reason I asked to reach for a consensus is because I'm perfectly fine with a decision being made on it. I still think I'm right. We know how the Sharingan works now according to Tobirama. We can glean from the chapter that the Susanoo likely belongs to both Obito and Kakashi and that Obito was capable of using it before his death. If that's not enough to convince the majority, that's fine by me, but I will say this: we assumed Minato wasn't a jinchūriki when we learned he sealed half of the Kyūbi inside him, and we turned out to be wrong. This situation is very similar, only now we probably won't see Obito come back again since he's dead (at least, dead for the last time). That's why I choose to apply to your logic and reasoning. The evidence is there, the history is there, and in case I need to remind you guys, we've allowed greater assumptions than this one to be written down.--Reliops (talk) 18:26, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

K. I've learned some things now, huh? It is what it is. Let's move on from this, shall we? WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 18:35, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

I was with you up until this point. "the fact that Obito has never used it means it is not his" - That makes no sense whatsoever. If someone presents something you created or own, that doesn't make it theirs because you've never been seen with that thing. That's essentially the contention at hand.--Reliops (talk) 20:15, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Susanoo to counter Chakra Absorption Techniques? Since when?
The question the topic asks. Where was this ever stated, shown or even remotely implied in the manga or databooks? The article reads: "With [Susanoo], the tailed beast is now protected from Chakra Absorption Techniques and gains more protection due to Susanoo's defensive properties" Which part of the manga supports this? Moreover, this thing has been discussed BEFORE, and the conclusion was that it is just an alluring speculation, but nonetheless still a pure speculation. NoJutsu (talk) 01:06, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Or common sense, whatever you want to call it. Kotoamatsukami (talk) 01:33, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi
As pasted by Ulti on another talkpage, databook said this: ""Amaterasu, denoting the "light of the material world" and Tsukuyomi, symbolising the "darkness of the spiritual world"—— Only they who have activated the Mangekyō Sharingan —the heavenly eyes that see without obstruction the truth of all of creation— are permitted to use these two dōjutsu. Dwelling only in they who have grasped both of these technique is the power of a tempestuous god… that is Susanoo.""

So are we simply going to pretend it doesn't say that? I don't think we should assume it's been retconned just yet. As crazy as it may sound, I think we should rather assume that Obito could also do Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi besides Kamui.--Elveonora (talk) 18:44, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Apparently. Yes, yes we are. Using the logic I am having a grand time obtaining, the databook states that only Itachi's Susanoo comes from Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, despite lines such as "Dwelling only in they who have grasped both of these technique is the power of a tempestuous god… that is Susanoo.""". Quite fascinating really.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 18:46, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

 * You are.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 18:52, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I never understood why this was removed in the first place to be honest. Reasons like "the manga clearly outdated the databooks" do not hold true to me as nobody can really say that some people can't use these techniques, just because they were never seen using them. Norleon (talk) 18:53, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

@Seel, You aren't, we all know retcons happen, no one disagrees with that, but there's no contrary evidence to what it states. Absence of evidence for Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi isn't evidence of absence. It's safer to assume the databook is still correct as of now rather than that it's been retconned.--Elveonora (talk) 18:54, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * How about putting a trivia point about it instead?--Mangekyō Sharingan Izuna.svg JOA20 18:55, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Honestly I thought today was gonna be a wash, but this got me through the last hour of my work day quite wonderfully. But seriously on topic, we do know that to unlock Susanoo one needs to unlock the power of both their eyes, (Itachi: Tsukuyomi/Amaterasu, Sasuke: Amaterasu/Blaze, Madara: Broken/Bastard, Kakashi: Kamui(Close)/Kamui(Far)) and that the databook, unless I truly don't know how it is used correctly, was in fact just referring to Itachi's own Susanoo and not every Susanoo that exists ever.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 18:57, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Nice sarcasm. It clearly spoke in general, not specifically: "Dwelling only in they who have grasped both of these techniques (Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi) is the power of a tempestuous god… that is Susanoo" It doesn't says: "it dwells only in Itachi"--Elveonora (talk) 19:00, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, let me explain: How can any sort of databook, both in real life and in fiction, take things into account that have not happened yet? Simple answer: It can't. As real life and the manga go on, new things come up and new information retcons old one. This is a completely normal process. Here we have an old statement from a databook, were only one character was in possession of the subject at hand (Susanoo). Since then, multiple new users of said subject came along. You guys want to apply the old statement (from a time were it could be applied to only one character) to the new users as well, despite new information about that subject. That is plain wrong. The databooks are only correct for the chapters they're covering. Every subject after that can only be explained by a databook statement if there was no new information about that subject. • Seelentau 愛 議 19:01, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * So as long as something does not show up or does not get mentioned anymore, we blatantly ignore it to replace it with our own assumptions? That's ridiculous, nothing ever connected a Mangekyou-Sharingan technique to Susanoo after the databook. Or am I mistaken? Where was it said in the manga "you need to master two random MS techniques in order to awaken Susanoo"? Norleon (talk) 19:10, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly, nothing ever connected techniques to Susanoo again. Sasuke himself said that you need to master the eyes, not their techniques. • Seelentau 愛 議 19:11, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * They're all too happy to ignore Sasuke's words, though. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Rinnegan Sasuke.svg 19:13, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sasuke's words do not contradict the databook though. He said two eye powers, there's no evidence he was referring to random powers and not Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi--Elveonora (talk) 19:25, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sasuke said "This is Susanoo. The third power that can be gaines only by those who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in both eyes". So what now? Are we going to assume that every double Mangekyō is capable of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, or just leave it at what Sasuke literally said?--Mangekyō Sharingan Izuna.svg JOA20 19:28, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * They don't contradict it, but they retcon it. It was "Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi" for Itachi, but then Sasuke joined the crew and it was only "two eyes". Saying that he, too, had to master Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi ignores that he never, ever used Tsukuyomi, even in instances like the fight with Kabuto, were Itachi used Tsukuyomi and Sasuke the normal Genjutsu. It also ignores that his right eye already has Kagutsuchi as a technique. By the way, as far as I know, we're only calling Itachi's Susanoo a tempestuous god of valor or so, right? If I recall correctly, this was also because we decided that the databook talks about Itachi's Susanoo only. I mean, how can it talk about someone elses, there was no other user. Now there is one and we have a new statement by that exact user. • Seelentau 愛 議 19:30, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not to mention, as of this chapter, we have a user who has the power of Kamui in both eyes (for different effects), rather than Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, using Susanoo. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Rinnegan Sasuke.svg 19:32, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Enough with the mocking attitude. Here's a major counterargument for the "2 random MS techs" thing: Doesn't literary everyone who awakens Mangekyou, like does so in both eyes not just left or right? By that logic, the moment someone gets Mangekyou he has Susanoo and that's nonsense, therefore yes, Susanoo needs Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi specifically, because otherwise every Uchiha who has ever got MS would have it, every damn single one--Elveonora (talk) 19:36, August 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * No it isn't. Sasuke makes it clear what is required. Two Mangekyō. That is all. Forgive Seel his mocking attitude, but that's all that really can be used in the face of pure stupidity, like taking a statement about Itachi's Susanoo to mean all five users, four of which don't fit your mold, have two techniques they've never been shown with. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Rinnegan Sasuke.svg 19:42, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

The Tsukuyomi-Amaterasu thing is exclusive to Itachi? Oh. So Susanoo requires powers and techniques to be unlocked in both Mangekyo Sharingan. I think we should note that. I also think we should note the powers unlocked in both eyes in each user of Susanoo in their summaries. Like this: "The two powers Itachi unlocked in his eyes to unlock Susanoo were Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu" and this: "The two powers Sasuke unlocked in both eyes for Susanoo were Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi." Or something like that. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 19:46, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

But everyone has two Mangekyou... so everyone has Susanoo according to you.--Elveonora (talk) 19:48, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * There's still a gap between "Needing Ama and Tsuku specifically" and "Needing the two Mangekyo only". What if Itachi needed to master Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, but Sasuke and the others did not? It would be the logical consequence, hm? • Seelentau 愛 議 19:49, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

@Elveo, well Susanoo is a rarity. Has everyone that has two Mangekyo unlocked a technique in both eyes? Izuna and the Anime-only Mangekyo Sharingan haven't unlocked unique techniques in both eyes. They are the only ones not shown to use Susanoo. Everyone else can. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 20:01, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Not sure if I get what you mean Seel, do you suggest that one has to master the techniques in both eyes for Susanoo to come out rather than simply having two mangekyou?--Elveonora (talk) 20:05, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's what I was saying. Man, I gotta learn how to communicate better. But yeah, I think a person with two Mangekyo must master unique techniques in both eyes to awaken Susanoo. WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 20:10, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * ..... so you agree with me? Because two Kamui isn't unique--Elveonora (talk) 20:15, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Kamui is a unique technique. So is Kotoamatsukami. When a unique technique is unlocked in both eyes (that isn't Izanagi or Izanami, both require regular Sharingan), and the user is in possession of both Mangekyo, it allows the user to access Susanoo, based on what we've seen so far. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 20:26, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, Elve. Not unique ones, but each eye carries a technique which needs to be mastered. Itachi had Ama and Tsuku, Sasuke Ama and Kagu, Shisui 2x Koto and Kakashi 2x Kamui. This doesn't contradict the databook (because how would the databook know about Sasuke?) and it doesn't contradict Sasuke's statement. • Seelentau 愛 議 20:48, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * OK so can I finally put that information regarding awakening the Susanoo in the article? WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 22:25, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Whatever then... the databook is wrong only when it suits people's propaganda I see. It doesn't matter that Itachi's Susanoo was the only one then, because the databook spoke in general sense. There's no room for different interpretation, it literary says only those (plural) with Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi get Susanoo.

For the mastery part, I don't dig that much either, considering Obito mastered Kamui the very moment his eye became Mangekyou with no training needed whatsoever. Also if what you say is true, that would mean Shisui's Susanoo is CANON--Elveonora (talk) 14:12, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Here's my theory. Susanoo doesn't actually need Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. I also think the reason not every Mangekyō-using Uchiha can use this ability despite awakening the form in each eye is because it requires a certain balanced power between the two eyes. Itachi could use Susanoo because Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi are basically exact opposites. Sasuke on the other hand couldn't use Susanoo until both eyes obtained a similar power for Amaterasu; one generating the flames and the other controlling them. Kakashi after getting both versions of Kamui in each eye and Shisui (in the anime) have the same exact power in each eye is what gave both of them access to Susanoo.—Steveo920 (Talk) 10:25, August 8, 2014
 * Except that doesn't really make much sense and we shouldn't go with theories but facts. And the fact is that databook says Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are needed and nothing contradicts that. Just because Madara and Obito didn't use them doesn't mean they couldn't, since absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence--Elveonora (talk) 14:29, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's funny how everybody willingly ignores the relationship between Susanoo, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi from the japanese mythology. Could've Kishimoto meant something by connecting these three techniques by giving them names of deities who are on top of all related towards each other?? Oh no, it must be Blaze Release or Limbo: Border Jail that calls out Susanoo! Yeah right...Iloveinoxxx (talk) 14:33, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

 * That's the whole issue here. Some people think the databook isn't true anymore because Itachi was the only known user back then.Iloveinoxxx (talk) 14:47, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

If we add everyone as a user of Ama and Tsuku, I'm going to merge Tobi's and Madara's article. I promise you that. • Seelentau 愛 議 14:56, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * In that case I will have no choice but to consider you insane :P Canon = author's words. It's the facts and the fact is that's what he wrote and assuming that he changed his mind about it is just that, assuming. It's very unlikely he did because of the whole trinity thing--Elveonora (talk) 15:00, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't assume anything. I'm saying judging new things by old standards is wrong. Especially when there's as much unexplained crap going on as it is in the current Naruto manga. Why are you all so fixated on adding stuff? Why can't you guys just wait until the manga is over and we (hopefully) get a new databook? And why do I have to say this stuff every week again and again? Wait is the key word here. We have no obligation to provide information. We have the obligation to provide correct information and seeing this discussion, it's obvious that we can't provide the correct information right now, because each side has its pros and cons. Jesus, why am I the only one with that mindset here? • Seelentau 愛 議 15:09, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Because you like to follow your own theories instead of accepting evidence coming from the author himself. But have it your way, I clearly haven't enough fantasy to achieve anything on this wiki, so why bothering anymore? Iloveinoxxx (talk) 15:14, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

There's no reason to assume that the original information provided is no longer correct though. Again, no sign of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi from Madara and Obito (yes, I'm still certain Sasuke used it, but that's its own topic) is not evidence of their absence. Last time I checked you were defending the databook and labeled chapter 599 wrong because it contradicts it. So suddenly the manga is right and not the databook? That nitpicking, especially since nothing contradicts what the databook said when it comes to Susanoo. It was never stated that a Mangekyou Sharingan user can have only 3 eye techniques, no such limit was imposed--Elveonora (talk) 15:16, August 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * @Seelentau: Because while I have no idea how calm or hectic things are at the German Wiki, here if we do as you say and waited, we'd have to do a total lockdown of every article to prevent users from coming in and adding the stuff anyway. That may be a fine course of action to you, but it makes the Bleach Wiki (despite being very organized and well done) very shitty of the average editors. Unless of course we don't actually want editors.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:18, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Unless your idea of "Do nothing and wait" implies only a few editors can actually keep the wiki up to date or you have a different idea.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:20, August 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I understand where the pro-Ama & Tsuku side comes from, believe me. But riddle me this: The databook says that you need to master Ama + Tsuku before obtaining Susanoo. Right? Right. Now, Kakashi never used either of those techniques (yeah yeah, evidence of absence and all), but on top of that, he never even had two Mangekyo, so he never could master both techniques before he got Obito's chakra. And after he got that, he used Susanoo immediately. If we go by the databook, then he learned and mastered Ama & Tsuku in those two or three seconds before casting a full-body Susanoo. How in all seven kingdoms is that more logic than going by what Sasuke said? • Seelentau 愛 議 15:24, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Or are you guys implying that every user of Susanoo automatically learns how to use Ama & Tsuku, too? Because that was never stated. I get that Sasuke and the others had actually time to learn the two techniques, but Kakashi had not. And yet, he used Susanoo without hesitating. @TU3, I'm more or less the only editor in the German wiki, I can do what I want. I have admin rights and provided over 11% of all edits in the seven or so years the wiki exists now. • Seelentau 愛 議 15:30, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * That is both impressive and a little sad. But I'm actually not implying anything in this discussion, I agree that the logic to follow the outdated databooks is entirely flawed, especially given that they read like hype trains about what is happening at the moment. I am just vehemently against the idea of locking down the wiki for fear we could be wrong.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 15:39, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

The mastery part doesn't really make sense, considering Obito could use Kamui from the get go, so to me it's obvious simply having Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi unlocks Susanoo. Figure one of Obito's eyes had Kamui and Amaterasu and the other Kamui and Tsukuyomi. Upon getting both, Obito and Kakashi unlocked Susanoo. Also Shocking News: Kakashi had no time to master PERFECT Susanoo in 3 seconds either, yet look at him--Elveonora (talk) 15:43, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * And Kakashi could not use Kamui from the get go, so why can he instantly use Ama and Tsuku? Furthermore, why did none of both used any of the techniques in over 400 chapters? You can't tell me that there never ever was a situation when an Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi would not have been useful. I know that [not showing =/= not knowing], but this is ridiculous. • Seelentau 愛 議 15:49, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * None of us are really to blame, really, the author is. But we should go with what the author says, even though it doesn't make sense. Also didn't they? Grasping at straws here, but just maybe, Obito extinguished Itachi-transplanted Amaterasu from Sasuke by using Amaterasu, duh?--Elveonora (talk) 15:53, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

EMS vs. MS
So, shouldn't it be noted that despite Perfect Susanoo originally calling for an EMS Kakashi can now use it with only a regular MS?? It should at least be noted in the trivia, if nothing else. Contradictions of this magnitude shouldn't just be ignored. ---Marc Zaddy (talk) 02:09, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

 * This. EMS isn't any stronger than nor grants new abilities from the MS. The EMS is just an MS that doesn't go blind. Obito increased Kakashi's chakra reserves as well as give him his Sharingan for the latter to use Susanoo. WindStar7125  WindStar7125 Task.svg (Talk) (Contributions) 02:27, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
