Re: Question
Shōkan is the normal summoning of someone (into court etc.), kuchiyose refers to summoning a ghost or so through a medium. • Seelentau 愛 議 12:50, December 6, 2015 (UTC)

Itachi has naturally low chakra reserves.
Please don't try to change the article so he has average or above average reserves with that. Itachi even in Part I, when he was not sick and healthy could only use the Mangekyo THREE times a day. That's it. And one Mangekyo Sharingan Technique we know costs more than 30% of his total chakra. He has low reserves regardless of his illness.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 06:20, February 2, 2016 (UTC)

re: novels
Nothing changed. They still are non-canon. Just like fillers are non-canon. We note fillers in articles, so why not the novels? 01:30, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * An extension of the manga? That's not necessarily true. Sure, it "fills in the gaps" of the manga, but a lot of it is still filler, and thus, non-canon. We note non-canon movies as well in articles, so there's no reason not to note the novels there too. 01:34, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Stuff such as? Things are canon when Kishi says they are. If he doesn't indicate nor come out and say "this is a continuation of the manga" then it's not canon. 01:36, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay sure. Still doesn't mean that the entire anime is canon all of a sudden. Again, if Kishi does not indicate a certain media is a continuation of his manga in some way, then it's not canon. 01:40, February 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't. An author's involvement alone does not make things canon (I used to think the same way, so I understand). Kishi literally wrote the script for Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie but it's not considered canon here because he never indicated or said "this is a continuation of the manga" like he did for The Last and Boruto (notice how in Naruto's article, the only movies in the main branch are The Last and Boruto, not Road to Ninja despite Kishi's heavy involvement in it; all other movies have their own section under the "In Other Media" tab; why those movies aren't documented in that tab, I have no idea).
 * If an author's involvement alone in a series makes things canon, then by that logic, all things that the author is not involved in is non-canon, which is untrue (For instance, Star Wars. George Lucas is the creator of Star Wars. However, he had no involvement at all in the new SW movie The Force Awakens, due to him selling the rights of SW to Disney, but it's considered canon regardless. An author's involvement alone does not decide what's canon or not).
 * Canonicity is decided by a declaration in which whoever owns chief rights to a series confirms a work pertaining to that series is an official continuation of the author's original and main body of work. What is "canon" is declared by whoever has the chief rights of a series, which in the vast majority of cases, it's the original author of a series. In the unique case of Star Wars, George Lucas sold those rights to Disney, so now Disney decides what projects in SW now are canon and which are non-canon. 15:35, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Tsukuyomi
When did Kakashi ever say Itachi could kill him with Tsukuyomi? It's been years since I've read those chapters, but I don't recall that. I specifically remember many people making a big deal of the Kurama Clan arc, when they established Yakumo could kill people with the potency of her genjutsu.

 * Still doesn't show me anything from canon establishing genjutsu can kill. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:33, March 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * I have tankobon scans for the entire manga, if you can give me a chapter, I can upload and ask Seelentau for a translation. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 13:41, March 12, 2016 (UTC)

The Program
I apologise for the very late reply m8; Use YGOPro or DEVPro, both function in pretty much the same way. I would've suggested DuelingNetwork a while back (which is an online program, and you'll have to download the two suggested prior), but it's dealing with "cease and desist", so you'll struggle hard with the game without pictures, even more so if you're a newbie. Hopefully you'll find this message useful. :)--BerserkerPhantom (talk) 18:03, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Names
mmh, no. Katakana are used, among other reasons, when the word is non-Japanese, when it's a technical/scientific term (animal name, etc.) or simply when the author (or whoever) wants the sentence/term to look "cool". Going with your example, the Japanese word for weasel would either be written in Kanji or Katakana, depending on the context (for example, in the Japanese wikipedia, animal names are always written in katakana). There are also characters whose first and last name are written in hiragana or katakana. You could compare it to italics in the Latin alphabet (some transcription systems prefer to caps words that are originally written in katakana, but the system we use doesn't). • Seelentau 愛 議 16:51, March 29, 2016 (UTC)
