Talk:Asura Ōtsutsuki

There's a difference between "playing it safe" and playing it dumb
Ignoring the obvious resemblances to Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode, from almost identical pattern, fox ears, fox tails and whiskers, Ashura was using either Tailed Beast Balls or Truth Seeking Balls, both of which are Tailed Beast Skills and require Tailed Beast Chakra. So I must ask, why is there a doubt that he was a jinchuuriki or a pseudo? It's indisputable.--Elveonora (talk) 19:18, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * How about waiting until Naruto shows his new transformation? We'll surely know more about it than now. Less work to do, less chances of false information. Case solved.--Mangekyō Sharingan Izuna.svg JOA20 19:22, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Indra shows off Susanoo, gets listed as Mangekyou Sharingan user. Ashura shows off Tailed Beast Mode look-like and either Tailed Beast Balls or Truth Seeking Balls, doesn't get listed as a jinchuuriki. Wut? We should approach things equally, not by nitpick--Elveonora (talk) 19:25, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * You want to put Asura as a jinchūriki of Kurama, right? Well, I see nothing wrong with putting him as a pseudo-jinchūriki (though we have no info on which tailed beasts), since as you say TSB/TBB require tailed beast chakra, but to say that it's undoubtedly Kurama is a bit speculative in my eyes.--Mangekyō Sharingan Izuna.svg JOA20 19:30, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Not Kurama, only jinchuuriki.--Elveonora (talk) 19:31, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * That would mean Asura had a tailed beast sealed into himself. Pseudo would be fine with me, but let's see what the others think.--Mangekyō Sharingan Izuna.svg JOA20 19:33, August 1, 2014 (UTC)

Still too early. You guys know my answer: We wait. • Seelentau 愛 議 19:53, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * Just as early as Indra's spiral eyes being his Mangekyou Sharingan. Yet, that one passed.--Elveonora (talk) 20:00, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * "The tomoe pattern is different. That is... Mangekyō Sharingan." Tobirama's words. Indra had a Sharingan. Spiral pattern is consistent with that of Tobirama's description of what a Mangekyō is. Then Indra was shown with Susanoo. Sealed its fate. No. It was not too early. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Rinnegan Sasuke.svg 02:08, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * How is this any earlier? If someone were to use genjutsu, we would list him as genjutsu user. If someone were to use taijutsu, we would list him as a user of such. When someone uses Tailed Beast Skill, he is a jinchuuriki... except when it's Ashura, cause derp--Elveonora (talk) 11:19, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

We wait. Plain and simple. Please try to contain your omniscience.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 14:30, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't know that it's a Tailed Beast Skill. We assume it based on previous depictions of a Tailed Beast Skill. But it could easily be something else. When do you (and many others) understand that the manga is in its final phase and there are things we can't simply explain right now? • Seelentau 愛 議 15:23, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

Considering all the crazy that's been going on around lately and the fact that Gaara is now listed as Magnet user along with sand being Magnet, I hope no one will oppose if I list Ashura as a jinchuuriki, because unlike vague magnet-sand connections, there's actual evidence for this one. If something vague can pass as a fact, I think actual evidence should be taken into consideration and presented as such, and that is:

Compelling enough, isn't it?--Elveonora (talk) 19:20, August 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Close to identical pattern of said battle avatar to Naruto's TBB, with the only differences being those prayer beads around its neck and ribs
 * It has tails (figure lol, Tailed Beast), fox ears and whiskers
 * It uses either Tailed Beasts Balls or Truth Seeking Balls, irrelevant which, considering both are Tailed Beast Skills, thus require TB chakra
 * Hashirama didn't have this, despite having been Ashura incarnate, yet Naruto does have similar thing, save extra head and arms... the major difference between Hashirama and Naruto is that the latter is a jinchuuriki, thus logical conclusion is that Ashura was one as well for having this
 * Ashura, Indra and Kurama's chakras are required to revive Hagoromo as of his words, from that is suggested that Ashura had Kurama's chakra, may have been born with it
 * More evidence I mentioned in the forum thread, too lazy too look it up

Please :( --Elveonora (talk) 13:50, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

I agree it's more than likely Ashura was a jinchūriki. As the leader of Ninshū and the son of Hagoromo, it's entirely possible that the bijū all contributed portions of their chakra to Ashura, thus explaining the humanoid avatar that resembles a bijū. The fact that Ashura was seen using Bijūdama seems to me as a clear indicator above all. I support listing Ashura as a jinchūriki but leaving his bijū ambiguous.--Reliops (talk) 16:34, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Finally common sense, spread the word brother--Elveonora (talk) 16:49, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't like picking sides, but I'm with Elveonora on this one (I thought that the jinchuriki status was already added xD). The whole waiting game just seems as a pathetic excuse, no offense >.< I've been telling that Steam Ninjutsu is not the same as Steam Armour a long time ago, and look, it was confirmed.. The whole waiting game just throws off the wiki. Its better to add something and later change if there's more confirmation than to not add anything at all, but its just my opinion.--Omojuze (talk) 17:02, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Exactly, especially since it's obvious. Not adding Ashura as jinchuuriki is the same as not adding someone who has used Genjutsu: Sharingan as Sharingan user in my book, just stupid.--Elveonora (talk) 17:21, August 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Better to be missing information than to be giving false information. That the article does not say he isn't a jinchuriki = fair compromise. ~SnapperTo 17:35, August 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have decided to toss my lot in with "jinchuriki". Jinchuriki of what, now that remains to be seen. Continue this argument.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 17:42, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think there's much left to discuss. Elve has presented enough evidence to justify the jinchūriki classification as far as I'm concerned. Hypothetically of course, it would've been pretty much the same if we never knew for a fact that Indra possessed the Sharingan before we saw him with a Sharingan. All the evidence points towards it, it doesn't necessarily prove whether he had MS or EMS, but it would definitely prove he had the Sharingan. I say give Ashura the classification, but don't list any hypotheticals in regards to what bijū (even though Kurama seems like a shoe-in).--Reliops (talk) 17:58, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

Presumed Yang Release?
Hear me out. When Kaguya first appeared and used her Byakugan in chapter 679, she saw the energy coming of Naruto and Sasuke's respective marks. Kaguya first assumed that they had gotten their power from Hagoromo and Hamura, but then determined their powers came from Indra and Ashura. Based on this alone, is it not all but confirmed Ashura and Indra both had Yin and Yang powers respectively?--Reliops (talk) 18:19, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

No. Hagoromo and Hamura had the seals. She first sensed the seals that imprisoned her, realizing it was the exact same as her sons'. But then she saw Indra and Asura's chakras in Sasuke and Naruto, respectively. Though it was suggested Hagoromo's sons may have them, it is not confirmed. Naruto and Sasuke respectively have Asura and Indra's chakra, and also Hagoromo and Hamura's seals. WindStar7125  (Talk) (Contributions) 18:32, August 8, 2014 (UTC)

And you don't think it's suspicious at all that we saw Indra and Ashura standing before crescent and full circle banners ? Be reasonable. There are plenty of contextual clues that point towards the fact that Ashura and Indra inherited half of their father's power each and passed that down as they were reborn. Black Zetsu manipulated Madara into pursuing Hashirama's power so he could awaken the Rinnegan, i.e. he needed to add Yang to his own Yin to obtain Yin-Yang. Hashirama couldn't have Yang if wasn't for Ashura--Reliops (talk) 18:42, August 8, 2014 (UTC)
