Talk: Fūma Clan

Filler/Canon

Funny how Kishi decided to put Random Filler Character into canon. Madara uchiha99 ^(talk), Kanji: うちは マダラ 九十九, Romaji: Uchiha madara kyū-jū-kyū 13:46, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Why Fūma? The Fuma clan has appeared in the English anime already, it's not romaji anymore. ~NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) ^(talk) current discussion Nov 11, 2008 _@ 21:09 ^(UTC)

I'm sorry, it's a force of habit. I also don't know where the English manga and anime are, since I only read the Japanese manga. I don't even know where exactly the Japanese anime is. --ShounenSuki 21:22, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure the Fuma clan appeared in the Anime, I have doubts it appeared in the manga.--TheUltimate3 21:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually the English Manga should already be on the 2nd part, not far behind the Japanese anime. I saw adds at the book store where I was buying it(I'm way behind) stating that at the beginning of this year they would be releasing it.Memsochet 21:30, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually, the English manga is already at volume 31 (Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori, last part of the fight when he dies). Also, the anime has almost reached shippuden they are around episode 190. Shikamaru1994 21:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)Shikamaru1994Shikamaru1994 21:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I just looked it up and the anime's Fūma clan (the anime-only clan that lives in the Land of Sound) first appears in episode 137. The manga's Fūma clan (creators of the Fūma Shuriken; one member became one of Pain's bodies) was first hinted at in volume 2, chapter 14 (that is when Sasuke used the Fūma Shuriken) and first actually mentioned directly in volume 40, chapter 369.

I hope this helps with figuring out how to spell the names of these clans. Personally I would just keep using the macron (and avoid discussions like these), but that's unfortunately against policy. --ShounenSuki 21:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

In the manga chapter 369 page 7 one rain ninja tells Jiraiya that Pain comes from the fuma clan. Later in chapter 381 page 9, Jiraiya kills body nr 2 and recognize it as the body of a fuma clan ninja that he fought when he was younger. And by the way, is there any canon source that say that the fuma clan created and specialize in using fuma shurikens? Jacce 21:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

It's mentioned in the third databook. --ShounenSuki 21:44, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

But which article from the third databook talks about Fuuma clan and Fuuma Shurken? 190.100.216.195 22:31, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Land of rice patties

I know that it was a filler but its still anime wich is cannon, isnt their more fuma clan ninja than just the animal path. for example that girl and her cousin or somthing in the non shippuden Naruto filler. When jeriyah and sakura and Naruto go in search for sasuke —This unsigned comment was made by 72.40.62.2 (talk • contribs) .

The anime isn't canon. The anime introduces another Fūma clan, unrelated to the manga's Fūma clan. The Animal Path's first body came from the manga one, several other filler characters come from the filler one. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:01, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Origin

Is it possible that the Fūma clan hail from the Rain village? Although the Fūma clan member wasn't wearing his forehead protector, it isn't uncommon for shinobi not to wear their forehead protectors yet still be loyal to their village. However it still makes to difficult to determine which village he and his clan hail from.--Black Ronin8 (talk) 11:12, July 31, 2012 (UTC)Black Ronin8

People believed Nagato to be descended from them so yes it is possible, but still speculation I'd suppose.--Cerez365^™(talk) 11:14, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Ahh, I see it. We'll it at that for now, I guess.--Black Ronin8 (talk) 12:36, July 31, 2012 (UTC)Black Ronin8

Konoha affiliation

It's been brought to my attention that despite Kōtarō being a clansman and head of the Konoha Police Force, the clan isn't listed as affiliated to Konoha. However, just listing the clan as being Konoha affiliated raises a potential inconsistency. When young Jiraiya was travelling the world, he fought the Fūma clansman who become one of Pain's bodies. It seems unlikely that Jiraiya would just come across another Konoha shinobi in a non-Konoha place, and fight them for no good reason. While it's possible he was a missing-nin, that would be speculation. The clan having relocated to Konoha, like the Uzumaki did, is also a possibility, but still speculation. While Kōtarō being officially a Konoha shinobi, and the clan having control of the police sometime after the Uchiha massacre is enough to list them as Konoha affiliated, I'm stumped as to how to mention that Jiraiya fought one of them in the past. Unlike the Senju and Uzumaki, we don't have information either way of the Fuma belonging to a different village at first, so saying anything either way is speculation.

While it is speculation, who is to say the clan just wasn't affiliated those 40-50 something odd years ago, or that the clan was split? It's less an inconsistency and just more of us not having much information. I don't think anything special has to be done besides noting that Jiraiya fought one, and maybe a trivia note.

Clan Symbol

That kid Eiki in the new arc has an emblem on the back of his jacket, would that presumably be the clan's official emblem? Hawkeye2701 (talk) 23:25, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Possibly, but not necessarily. I would rather wait until more members showed it, or if it was shown in a less uncertain context. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:57, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
