"Current" arc

Do you think we could change "Current arc" on the character pages to "______ arc"? Not everyone who reads the articles are going to know what arc they are reading about. Even I don't know which arc they are referring to (not that it matters to me because I'm the kind of person who likes to read the manga and doesn't like to skip too far ahead). This isn't a site only for Naruto fans, you know. // Sasuke-kun27 17:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. It is suggested that words like "current" are avoided when possible. Coming up with a name for the arc might be difficult, however. –Gunslinger47 23:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I also agree. I dont even know all of the arcs and you expect me to know the current one? KKIPPES 05:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I also agree. We should try to be more informative to the reader. --Omghgomg 09:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Then could we come up with either a general consensus on names, or an official source for them? Quatreryukami 17:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Music in Naruto

Hey, I don't know if this is the right place to write this, but there's nothing about the music in the series. Sorry that I used your article, dude, but i was too bored to make an account.

Glitch in the time skip/ages of characters

well this is what I've noticed:

Naruto is AT LEAST 13 years old in episode 1 and 1 year passes at the showing of episode 142. So I have come to this conclusion:

-Naruto is not 15 years old in naruto II but 16-16.5 years if its a 2 1/2 year time skip since the last of the original Naruto manga (before fill arcs) is in episode 135. So by the time naruto leaves with Jiraiya to train he is at least 14 years old. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.60.0.251 (talk) 03:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

Naruto is 12 in episode 1 and 13 by the end of 135. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I do find it funny that he failed the final exam 3 times, but is the same age as everyone else. Assuming the final exam was given twice a year like the chunin exam he could be 13-14 when he joins Team Kakashi couldn't he? ...or... could he have been started earlier since he had no parents to keep him out of trouble. Is there a reference to his exact age anywhere in the manga, anime, or from Kishimoto? shadzar|Talk|contribs 03:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Databooks say so. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Works for me! shadzar|Talk|contribs 04:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 has lots of info on the unlockable Ninja Info Cards, like Blood Types, Favs, and of course, age. The info card for Naruto says he is 12. I believe the game covers everything up to the end of the Attack on Konoha Arc, as it contains Orochimaru and the sealed rooftop from when he attacked the 3rd. Quatreryukami 17:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Japanese links

I'm in the process of finding out how we go about, the fact, that links to non-English websites are featured so prominently in articles which have a non-English origin. As the guideline stats now "English language links are strongly preferred in the English-language Wikipedia. It may be appropriate to have a link to a foreign-language site, such as when an official site is unavailable in English, when the link is to the subject's text in its original language or they contain visual aids such as maps, diagrams, or tables, per the guideline on foreign-language sites." My suggestion is to use the link which is to the Japanese Wiki version of this article - and others like it. If the article isn't written in the original language, a foreign language link may be used in the article. By the way, isn't [1] and [2] the official links for Naruto in North-America? If so, what is the point of the Japanese links? Havok (T/C/e/c) 20:31, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

When the series is well ahead of its English counterpart, keeping those links as a good idea. Not to mention the newly-titled series being released in under a month, which isn't so much as hinted at in the English version. When the series gets a little closer, dumping the links might be a good idea, but when only a third or so has been translated, it's best to keep the more updated Japanese versions. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:35, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Read my post on this matter and comments about it at Wikipedia talk:External links. Havok (T/C/e/c) 20:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Why use the English site when it's something like 3 years behind? --tjstrf talk 20:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

For referencing, by all means, use the Japanese links, I just don't see the point of having the link in the external links section when most people won't get anything out of it and it takes up space from links which could be used in it's place. Please read my comments in Wikipedia talk:External links. Havok (T/C/e/c) 20:58, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Growth and Popularity...

It's been deleted. Was it necessary for it to be deleted? RedEyesMetal 16:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Is there any reason to mention English Naruto fansites? This seems somewhat irrelevant. The number of fansites does not necessarily correspond to popularity. Nor does the existance of a collectable card game. Except for the first and last sentences, this section seems more like a "History of Naruto in English" section. --Nitwit005 02:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Err... Popularity really has little to do with having a card game based on it, there's cards for everything in japan >.> 69.152.95.178 10:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Toad Sage

I know he's not a big caracter, but it would be nice to have an article about him. Wouldn't it?

Sir pwnage 21:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

If you're referring to Jiraiya he already does have his own article--SUIT⁴² 21:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Who's toad sage? You mean Jiraiya? (Or rather, Jiraiya (Naruto)) --tjstrf talk 21:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Let me gues you watch the weak U.S. dub like I used to do.Sam ov the blue sand 22:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay I'm totally lost is there another Toad Sage or something? Because I'm pretty possitive Jiraiya has an artcle already (I was just in it!) . Who exactley are you talking about here?

User:KibaxHinata13 7:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean "not a big character"? Could you at least wait before you believe you know something? Jiraiya, if you don't know already, is a very important character.

Are you talking about Jiraiya? Because he's already got an article. Or Sir pwnage could be referring to Gamabunta? --Omghgomg 09:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe Sir pwnage is talking about the giant toad gamabunta that knows Jiraiya, the one that naruto can summon-hotspot

Inuzuka Kiba's Looong Day

Okay I'm kind of new to this whole thing about editing pages and stuff so I'm just wondering if there is a limit to the amount of detail one can put into an article. Because a little while back I did a really big edit on the Inuzuka Kiba's Long Day ep. I put so much detail that it was practically the whole ep. but in words. And then later on I went back and found almost everything I put erased. So I'm just curious if there's some unknown law to the amount of stuff you can put (I thought I went through the rules pretty goood too) please and thank you-KibaxHinata13 --209.244.188.217 16:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

While there's really no limit on how much information you can add to an article, it's not necessary to write every last detail. We should try to give the readers as much detail as possible without going overboard. That's probably why it was reverted. // PoeticDecay 16:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia articles aren't meant to replace watching the original show. They're supposed to be written about an episode. While we could theoretically include every last bit of information about a particular topic, there's no point in wasting our time if it will not be useful. I would say that for most episodes 3-4 sentences is quite enough for a plot summary. Beyond that, it'd probably just be better for the person to watch the actual episode. ~MDD4696 01:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a loosely defined concept called indiscriminate information. In a nutshell, I describe it as such: When including information, ensure that you have a good reason to do so. Including information strictly because it's available is being indiscriminate.

That said, the episode articles are a difficult subject, as there is much opposition to their existence in the first place. Articles should be written from an out-of-universe perspective primarily and be more than mechanical descriptions (i.e. plot summaries), but episode articles have been able to skirt these restrictions thus far thanks to several nuances. –Gunslinger47 02:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

...oh.....I guess I DID go overboard a bit. I had just watched the episode and..well...I'm a huge Kiba fan so I hope that explains it. I guess it is my fault that i can remember every detail of that ep. *blush* Thanks for clearing up my confusion I'll have to remember that for future reference =]

Naruto Shippuden interview

Hi all. There is a short interview with Takeuchi Junko and Nakamura Chie (the voice actors for Naruto and Sakura, respectively) at http://eg.nttpub.co.jp/news/20070115_11.html. It's in Japanese of course, but there is a translation posted at http://forums.narutofan.com/showpost.php?p=6736075&postcount=25. On the original article there is a photograph of a bunch of people... probably the voice actors and animators? It doesn't really say. ~MDD4696 01:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Uh.... what's your point? // PoeticDecay 01:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I think he wants to put the pic from there up in this article.Sam ov the blue sand 22:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I could really add anything to the actual article from that interview, and I don't think it's really worthwhile to upload the image (no copyright information at source, wouldn't be able to make a fair use claim). I was just posting that here so that anyone who maintains this article, or anyone reading it who happens to check the discussion page, could also check it out if they're interested. Now at least we have some record of the interview if at some point in the future there might be some reason to reference it. ~MDD4696 04:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I need to post something.

I am making a book on Naruto, and I want to make an article about it and put it in the Naruto-Wiki. Is that allowed? -- TheAuthorBravado 23:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Unless it becomes a real book (that means getting it published and having it sold all over the country at the least), no. // PoeticDecay 23:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Unless your book is published through a reputable company and gets independent attention from various news sources, no. It wouldn't meet notability guidelines. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 23:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

A Question regarding Naruto: Shippūden

Now, I know that the North American release of the anime is lagging far behind. Does anybody know if the producers of the North American release intend on translating all of the filler, certain arcs within the filler, or just skipping to translating Naruto: Shippūden?

On the one hand, it would make sense for the North American dubbers to continue with the filler: Marketing being what it is, I don't doubt that the idea of 80 additional episodes to translate is appealing (and thus, earn DVD sales for and earn advertisement revenue from them). On the other hand, supplementary material like the videogames are lagging roughly three years behind in releases, meaning if they keep the filler the translators will either have to release products which are outdated thanks to the release of the 7th generation consoles OR start translating games with characters which fans won't recognize and spoilers for storylines to come ("Wait, who are Sai and Yamato? Why can't I pick Asuma? Did they make a mistake and put Chouji's dad in his spot? Why the hell is Akamaru the size of a horse? Why does everyone look older?")

Any confirmed information would help the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.151.21.102 (talk) 20:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

If they tried dubbing the two years of filler hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they get cancelled. I have not seen the numbers, but I'm guessing that the dubs aren't seeing the same level of fandom as was seen during Naruto's first run on Tokyo TV. –Gunslinger47 22:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a source for this, but I heard Naruto is the highest rated show on CN, which is also significant because it was Dragon Ball Z for a very long time. JuJube 01:54, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

That would make sense, considering reruns are being shown again. Originally they took the reruns off to show a 1000th daily airing of Kids Next Door, but they put them right back in about a month later...Still, as popular as Dragon Ball Z's first run? I seriously doubt that. Treima 02:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

"Still, as popular as Dragon Ball Z's first run? I seriously doubt that." I just wanted to echo that. –Gunslinger47 03:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Blood Types

Hey all, I dont want to make a somewhat big change before asking arond first, but just a suggestion to change the blood type link in the character boxs from blood type to Japan_blood_type_theory_of_personality as it is the main reason why its listed. Has its pros and cons, however I dont see why their blood type would be listed other then for the personailty reasons. NeilHynes 22:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I suggest bringing it up on the template's talk page instead of this one. // PoeticDecay 23:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It's already mentioned on that page, but no one replied to it. Anyway, I agree that linking to the Japanese blood type theory would be better, or perhaps Blood type#Popular use. –Gunslinger47 23:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Naruto Time Frame

What timeframe is naruto set in anyway? It has stuff from current time, like romance books, cash registers, and hospitals, but it doesn't have simple things like cars and scyscrapers. It confuses me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.74.210.5 (talk) 23:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC).

It's an entirely fictionalized universe. That said, you are seeing the Naruto universe through the looking glass of hidden ninja villages. Thusfar, we've only seen a glimpse of any major cities. Look to the second last page of chapter 327 for some "skyscrapers". Vehicles might be in common use elsewhere in the world. –Gunslinger47 23:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

In short, it's "Wheneverthehellyouwantittobe" AD. For argument's sake, it can at least be assumed that Naruto is set in modern times. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 23:26, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Either that or Naruto is realy a braindead guy who lives in our time but dreams of bieng a ninja who has awesome adventures.Sam ov the blue sand 23:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, no, no vehicles of the combustion engine nature, or even steam powered ones exist in Naruto's universe, nor do ballistic weaponry and possibly electronic technology exceeding 8-bits of processing. Though, those are the only rules that Kishimoto put down for the series. 69.152.95.178 10:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• *kicks the first Naruto movie for breaking those rules* ^_^ JuJube 10:36, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, in the search for Tsunade arc, Tsunade lives in a large city, so thats something modern. Besides, as JuJube|Jujube "actionizes" in the first Naruto movie, the land of snow does have machinery and (I think) guns. User:Guest 18:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

incorrect

"Naruto is the second-most popular ongoing shōnen series in Japan, just behind One Piece"

1-one piece manga may have sold more copies, but naruto anime is far more popular. the comparison isn't straightforward.

2-why confine its popularity to japan; globally i'm certain naruto beats OP with a great margin. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.113.19.111 (talk) 22:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC).

1-Comparisons of this sort are often based on the manga.

2-It wouldn't surprise me, considering the, ahem, "quality" of the OP dub. However, the statistic is not about worldwide popularity. It is about the popularity in Japan. Curtmack of the Asylum 23:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Naruto II

Naruto II is a seprate Manga from Naruto, though it is part of the same story line. The Info box between the two should be be split. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lego3400 (talk • contribs) 03:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

No it isn't. The manga is one continuous story. Only the anime is divided into two separate blocks. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

New Picture

I think we should replace the picture in the info box with a picture of Naruto Shippuden since it is the new series.Themasterofwiki 13:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe once some episodes are released. I don't like what Naruto looks like in any of what's been released so far. It's too bad we can't use this one: [4] :) –Gunslinger47 20:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Even with the new series, we should retain the more familiar one. A second image can be used to illustrate the difference. On that note, we should also include a section to note the different series. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

What about leaving all the Part 1 info on the Naruto pages and migrating all the Part 2 info onto a new set of Shippuden pages? In other words, don't mix the information re. both series. Or is this not feasible with how things are currently set up...The model for what I'm basing this on is what appears to have been done with the Dragonball series; the 3 series are all kept separate from each other but they have a large template tying it all together. Character information though does reflect what is revealed in the series and other incarnations. --BrokenSphere 22:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The main series is separated. The characters aren't. I don't think we have to break it apart yet, not when we can reasonably keep it on one page. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 22:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but didn't I say the same exact thing 3 months ago? Any ways but Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z have some of the same characters too so what makes this series so special that it isn't treated like other articles?Sam ov the blue sand 23:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Personally I think we should keep the infobox's picture what it is, as anyone recognizes the part 1 pictures, but only those at part 2 would recognize a new picture. However there should be a picture of part 2 somewhere in the article once there is more official artwork. NeilHynes - Talk - Contributions - 22:02, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

What's the use in keeping the old Part 1 images in the main infoboxes now? Shouldn't we go with the most updated versions? The Splendiferous Gegiford 20:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the japan version of the anime is currently on shippunden, but the north-american version isint, and this is the english version of wikipedia, so we should leave it with the current naruto that is airing. and if someone says that it doesnt mather where its passing then we should probably put a picture of the most recent manga scene because the manga would be the most advanced Letuce

Getting the names right

Could we possibly put the names of the characters the correct way round? Any article on Japanese manga should put the names as they are in the original anime/manga, not the badly done Cartoon Network dub. So, instead of "Naruto Uzumaki" (which sounds wrong for a start) it should become "Uzumaki Naruto" the same goes for all characters in the anime/manga. It is painful to see Kakashi called Kakashi Hatake instead of Hatake Kakashi. 84.67.229.88 17:58, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

We've already debated this months ago. We use Western order since it's the most common name that most readers (not just fans) will be able to recognize. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 18:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

And isn't this the English Wikipedia? So there's another reason.Sam ov the blue sand 18:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

"Kakashi Hatake" causes you pain? You might have hyperalgesia. The dub is not bad. JuJube 22:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

It's just you're not used to saying it like this just like how I'm not used to saying it your way.Sam ov the blue sand 15:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, some people are used to saying that way (just like I'm used to saying Utada Hikaru), but to america, it is usually....unusual to have the last names first to most people....sorry, do I make sense? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Syarasu (talk • contribs) 01:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

But wouldn't it sound formal if you say/use/write/whatever_way_possible names with their surname being used first? Zxyggrhyn 03:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

No, it would seem as if we didn't know the difference between a first name and a last name. It being "formal" is just plain crazy talk. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, it ain't crazy talk for me. Zxyggrhyn 03:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

And one more thing, Japanese use their surnames first. Zxyggrhyn 03:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Duh. You won't get it changed by making strange appeals on talk pages. First name/Last name is how it works. Get used to it. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 03:32, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not making any appeals for getting the names changed. I just wanna share my ideas to the GenPub. After all, this is a discussion page. Ü . Zxyggrhyn 02:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

However, this is meant to be a discussion about the artcicle and possible improvements/additons etc and not a general discussion board. This is clearly stated at the top of the page. So it is only natural that people would belive that you were mentioning this becausze you wanted a name change. --67.71.78.179 03:00, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Naruto Dates

Does anyone know the dates the Naruto episodes between Season 1 and the end of Season 3 aired in America? I know when they aired in Japan but what about in America. Siraya429 21:09, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Language

Just wondering,did Sasuke say da-- it before he passed out? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.200.59.115 (talk) 23:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

He probably said chikushō (畜生), if anything. Though, I assume you're referring to the dubs? Which episode? –Gunslinger47 00:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I am referring to the dub,and i'm talking about episode 75.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.200.59.115 (talk • contribs).

He doesn't say "damn it" as far as I could hear. By the way, he doesn't pass out in this episode either, nor at any other point in this encounter. –Gunslinger47 06:54, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

They do curse in naruto just not in the english version. I saw when sasuke's Chidore was going to colide with narutos spiraling sphear and sasuke say s**tMr.man 8:44, 13 April 2007

Chakra

the word "chakra" doesnt exist in this article, while for hunterxhunter, "nen" has its own detailed article. so which is right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.93.218.254 (talk) 13:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC).

Volume and chapter covers

I think you should add a list of volumes and chapters with picture of the covers (like in the one piece manga article)!!!!!!!!!!!

Lord JCYJ 19:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I would like to second this,cause I think it's a very good idea and it would be nice if it could resemble the Bleach chapter and volume page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bleach_chapters —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.136.13.11 (talk • contribs).

I wouldn't be opposed to it. The list of Bleach chapters is a nice page, but it would require a lot of work to make a similar one for the Naruto series. –Gunslinger47 22:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

So, Is anyone planning on doing it... it'll take time but It'll be worth it. I would do it, but I don't have the slightest idea on how to do it. SO PLEASE, SOMEONE DO IT!!!66.68.249.80 23:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm tempted to just redirect it, but should I leave List of Naruto Manga Volumes alone and see if something useful is done with it? ~SnapperTo 03:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

As I said above, it'll require plenty of work. It's not the type of work I'd be interested in, however. Here is a quick list of what needs to be done, from a glance:

• Move the article to conform to capitalization guidelines.
• Get rid of the infobox (and thus the category), which is for manga not manga sub-articles.
• Add construction templates at the top requesting help to expand the list.
• Focus on adding content for now, not pictures.
• Link to it from an appropriate location so potential editors will see it.

If it's still a stub with little interest after a month, we can delete and unlink it. –Gunslinger47 04:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

As far as content is concerned, I've found a website that seems to have the kanji for all 350 chapter titles. While I'm willing to transfer this information to the article, I want to make sure that a) the article won't be deemed unnecessary a few days afterwards, and b) that it wouldn't be some kind of plagiarism of the website. I know they can't tout any ownership over the titles, nor is there anything wrong with taking this type of information from other websites, but the large degree of information that would be copied and pasted raises concerns. All of the Wikipedia guidelines I've found either deal with copying information from Wikipedia, or deal with things other websites have actually written. So, I'm unsure how to proceed. ~SnapperTo 05:36, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Copying verbatum is bad, copying a simple list is not. Plus, making a chapter list article couldn't be argued as unnecessary. No more than an episode list one is, at least. Plus, the formatting I did on the Bleach one can be copied with relative ease. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 05:43, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Since the Bleach format doesn't allow a lot of room for kanji + romanization + literal translation + Viz translation, I just nihongo'd what I could. Incidentally, the list is now in need of romanizations, literal translations, and general prettification. I'll see what else can be added once someone's taken a crack at making it less of an eyesore. ~SnapperTo 07:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

It being late and Dune being on, I'll take a stab at it tomorrow. The Bleach format does have a hell of a lot more room when used in this instance. No quotes to get in the way. It can be adjusted to fit in either case. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 07:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

But remember to try to translate the unreleased chapters into english. You find the names at leafninja.com. It gives you a list of volumes, covers, chapters, and chapter summaries.66.68.244.36 17:36, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Timeframe of filler arc

"The filler arcs, though unreferenced in the manga (save for a few scant scenes), deal with the breaks between manga volumes, which covers a short period before the Sasuke Retrieval arc and several months before the time skip."

Isn't that supposed to be *after* the Sasuke Retrieval arc and before the time skip? 70.77.47.26 23:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

The tea race was filler; episodes 102 through 106. –Gunslinger47 00:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for the clarification. 70.77.47.26 06:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Naruto Episode 78

In the article naruto episode 78 it said they cutted out the part where naruto and gamuanta have to toast sake in order for their partnership to be complete.What's Toast Sake? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.156.12.94 (talk) 03:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

Sake is Japanese alcoholic drink and because Gamuanta hasn't toasted a sake with Naruto yet he simply doesn't care about Naruto's problems.Sam ov the blue sand 15:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

See sake for more information. The shared drink refers to Yakuza tradition for the bond between oyabun and kobun. –Gunslinger47 19:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Dub Episode 79

in the dub episode 79 i think naruto said sh-- at one point.

It maybe hard to here,but im pretty sure he said it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.200.155.158 (talk) 19:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Bleah… Dubs suck.

Anyway, I couldn't hear anything. Narrow it down, would you? –Gunslinger47 23:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Wherever you think he said shit, he most definitely did not. That would get concerned parents' groups on them faster than they could repeat the phrase. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 02:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It's while Naruto is standing on Shukaku's snout. A "sssch" that could easily be interpreted as "shit". But I doubt it was intentional, in any case. JuJube 02:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Won't you mind those ideas. It won't enhance or spoil the soup in any way. Let the dubbers do their job and criticize them later below wells. Zxyggrhyn 03:21, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Ben 10

On what episode? Anyway, doesn't this show the popularity of Naruto? On one of the comments that I read above, I'd agree with what Mr./Ms./Mrs. 130.113.19.111 said. Naruto is a big phenomenon even here in my country, the Philippines. He's got a large following here and is toppling down One Piece in ratings. but in fairness, Dragon Ball is still a household word since it has been here for more or less than a decade.

Error

What are the chances of the technical error in episode 80 being fixed?

I believe it was an error that cartoon network did not the episode itself, on the episode article Third Hokage, Forever... someone put in the trivia(the part is now gone) that cartoon network will air a naruto marthon on april 7th with episode 80 being shown first along with new episodes.-hotspot

Isn't that true however? The episode will air on April 7th along with 81, and 82, right? Or is that wrong info? --Putmalk 01:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Yea, the info is correct. CN's gonna run a Naruto marathon in 2 weeks, where they're gonna replay that episode, along with 81 and 82. --GhostStalker(Got a present for ya!) 17:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I knew people would talk about the fact....when I saw I was like "Oh my god! They cut off like seven minutes!", I mean I've been noticing technical errors on cartoon Network like at least two or three times a week. if you didn't see it, it was the part when kakashi was staring at that grave he goes to and someone brings flowers for hayate. Kakashi was gong to say "I've been here scince dawn". but the episode blacked out after the word "here" and all you could see is the CN logo at the bottom right had corner. Then the scene repeated from the beginning again and it cut off at the same part after "here sci-" and it blacked out and just rolled the credits....you can tell me to shut up and I talk too much, sorry. Syarasu 01:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Syarasu

Sorry, I just retold what was typed on the episode page before I even checked it...Syarasu 01:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Syarasu

Re-nomination

Is it possible to re-nominate the article for featured article. Or is it once it failed it cannot be re-nominated. Please answer. --Putmalk 01:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I really don't believe that the article is featured article quality, and I'm sure most of the editors of this article would agree. However, if you want to go ahead with it, the box at the top of the page talking about how the article was a former featured article candidate has a link on how to nominate article and what qualities editors are looking for in a featured article. You may also want to read why the article was rejected as a featured article to better understand what you need to improve the article to get it to FA status. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 00:28, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

No offense to the editors, who have done a good job of writing an article that introduces people to the series, but at present you'd end up slaughtered for lack of references even on WP:GA review, let alone WP:FA. Maybe you should focus on that first? --tjstrf talk 00:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Also to clarify an article can be renominated at a future time. It has happened before and will likely happen again. --70.48.174.189 01:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I did read the sub-page and why it was rejected. But the page says that 8/9 reasons that it was rejected were fixed. Shouldn't that classify as somewhat of a better article? --Putmalk 01:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Lack of references is a lethal flaw in and of itself. It would be GA class if that was fixed, but FA is still a good ways off since FA articles actually have to be written masterfully rather than merely not have any glaring errors. --tjstrf talk 02:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not good at references, as I don't know any. Shouldn't someone be able to make references? Or is their some problem at that? --Putmalk 20:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

The technical details are at Wikipedia:Footnotes and Wikipedia:Citing sources. The main thing we need, though, is grunt work. Someone actually has to go find the things. For plot points, that means re-reading the manga and listing the pages where the information we're including comes from. For things like the reception section, that means finding some place that wasn't just a fansite that talked about it. --tjstrf talk 20:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

naruto is the number one comic of 2006. it had so many

Where? Got a cite for that? It would help the article out. --BrokenSphere 21:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Not sure about '06, but it's been nominated for a ton of things in '07.[8] I found that one while trawling for stuff on Bleach, which I'm trying to get ready for WP:GA (or at least peer review) right now. Care to race? ;) --tjstrf talk 21:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

well thanks for answering my question. Maybe if the article improves me or someone else will re-nominate. By the way, when was the last time the article was nominated? --Putmalk 22:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It was nominated on 26th of May 2006. --67.71.77.213 02:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the article has improved by then? Maybe its GA material.... --Putmalk 20:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

If you add references. It's certainly not far off from it, but right now it would fail due to lack of references and possibly not including enough real-world context. Try reading through Wikipedia:What is a good article? if you want a detailed description of what you need for GA. --tjstrf talk 20:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

US Manga Release

I was looking on amazon.com and its showing that in november 2007 all of the volumes up to 24 will be released. Is this true, cause I can't find any info one this.

na i don't think so especialy if there info on it anywere on the net.--Kenshin -Himura 13:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Considering that the English manga is only up to Volume 13 as of now, I highly doubt it. Raven23 13:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
