Talk:Kakuzu

Doesn't seem like anyone edits this, but should Kakuzu's abilities and so on be in past tense? It seems a bit odd as it stands, since he's dead, and all.


 * Well, things are supposed to be written in-universe from a future perspective. It's got nothing to do with being dead or not. That's just that articles are supposed to be written in a form that remains valid. So things like current aren't supposed to ever be used in an article because there is no one current point in the timeline for all readers. And articles shouldn't require altering out things like that as the story progresses. So the plot areas basically require complete past-tense in-universe style. However, making sections like that past-tense because someone dies suffers from the same issue. Just because you've read to a point where the character has died, doesn't mean that the character is dead from the reader's point of view. The objective here is to be time-neutral. So things like the Abilities and Personality sections actually shouldn't be past-tense. The sections for Abilities and such are time-neutral sections written including things from every point in time, they don't incorporate the aspect of an event except in referring to an event that happened at any point in time. So, rewriting into past-tense would destroy the time-neutral style of those sections, so they should stay the way they are. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) current discussion Feb 19, 2008 @ 08:32 (UTC)

I don't know who is making these ages and birthdates up, but could you stop? I have already corrected this article once, only to find somebody had reverted it.

kakuzu, like every other new character in part 2, has no confirmed personal information, and will not untill the next databook comes out.

Kakuzu...
To be able to kill his partner(s), which were Akatsuki for the matter of fact, Kakuzu must be extremely strong. Shouldn't it be noted that his earth property attribute greatly increases his physical strength? I mean, he has shown greater feats of strength compared to Kisame. Kakuzu blocked an attack from the Nibi with his bare hands for God sake...

Kakuzu didn't block the attack, he got hit by it but took no damage because of his Iron Body...

-He DOES, however, kncok down the gates of the Fire Temple with just his bare hands, smashes the building Shikamaru is sitting upon when binding Hidan, and kicks Kakashi through several trees with his heightened strength.
