Talk:Amaterasu

shouldn't we put Madara as a user, because Itachi said that Madar could use all four Mangekyo techniques?

As hot as the sun
can someone please tell me the chapter that says amaterasu is as hot as the sun? i want to reread it lol.
 * I don't know about the manga, but the databook says something like that: --ShounenSuki (talk 14:39, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

ok thank you for telling me this :)

blaze
it seems that amaterasu is a blaze release tech., as sasuke said he used an enton(may have been a bad translation) when guarding himself with amaterasu from gaara's attack. 24.189.153.102 (talk) 00:07, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * First, it was Enton, was not a mistranslation. Second, we have no proof Amaterasu is a Blaze Release, just that Sasuke somehow developed a Blaze Release to manipulate it.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 00:53, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Why can't it be both? Blaze Release can't be used without using Amaterasu. As such, while I do not deny its classification as a Fire Technique, I must point out its status as the core technique of this advanced nature which is why I recommend that until Kishimoto resolves the issue, it be recognized as a Blaze as well as Fire jutsu.

 * If thats the case under Earth release, there shud be the Wood release icon, and under Water and Wind there shud be ice...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:22, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * /sigh my point still stands.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:25, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

That is not I mean. I only pointed out the valid fact that Amaterasu is vital to performing Blaze Release which is why I added the Blaze icon and as I stated previously, I recognized its classification as a Fire Release which is why I left the icon untouched.

 * Wind is vital for Ice
 * Water is vital for Ice
 * Earth is vital for Wood
 * Water is vital for Wood
 * In short evry technique that uses 2 elements rely on each other heavily. Doesn't mean we add those to the page...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:31, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

There is a difference between a technique and chakra nature which is why I made my edit. User: Atrulean Starkiller September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Same argument stands. For all wood release techs the ONLY icon is the wood release. Same for ice. We dont add the componenets that make up the tech...--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:36, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Example : Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall..--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 14:37, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

I am well aware of that. However, when the components of an advanced nature is unique, I believe that it is a valid reason for exceptions to be made in articles. In this case, I believe an extra element icon is appropriate due to how recent information has affected the status of the article. User: Atrulean Starkiller September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * The problem is that as far as we know, Amaterasu is not Blaze Release, but Fire Release. Blaze Release is only used to manipulate the Amaterasu's flames. Saying Amaterasu is Blaze release is simply false as far as we know. --ShounenSuki (talk 15:06, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Which was exactly what I said with more words. You're welcome. Heh.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 15:34, September 26, 2009 (UTC)

creating amaterasu
Itachi can also extinguish amaterasu so why isnt that there? http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/390/07/
 * Itachi simply stopped using the technique, he closed his eye, that's nothing like what Sasuke did, putting out an already burning Amaterasu. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:30, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * That wouldn't have done anything. The fact that Amaterasu kept burning the forest after Itachi died attests to that. ~SnapperTo 02:28, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

KM retrofitting?
When this tech was first used, it was just one simple tech. Then it was given to one of the most major characters of the story. At the same time "blaze release" showed up, it was within a week of two other releases showing up. Isn't it very likely that KM is just retrofitting amaterasu as its own chakra nature to give a popular technique more depth and appeal and give sasuke access to an advanced nature type (which are highly popular among fans)?


 * Or the man could have made Blaze Release as way to manipulate Amaterasu fire, which if memory serves me correctly was just a blazing black inferno on anything within the person's field of vision.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 20:33, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
