Swastika

While the seal on Neji is a swastika (or manji, the japanese term), we might want to point out that it is a left faceing one, as opposed to the right faceing German one, and that it is a Buddhist religious symbol, not a Japanese (although many japanese people are Buddhist). according to the intro page in the Blade of the Immortal manga, it is associated with the moon and magic. --- Eds01 00:13, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

IIRC the whole "regular" vs. "inverted" swastika thing is an urban myth. --AceMyth 03:34, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Yup, there's not really any difference between the right- and left-facing swastika. Although, after WWII, outside of India, almost no one uses the right-facing swasika anymore. See Swastika and Sauwastika for more info.

About mentioning it. I don't think that's nessecary. This page is about the Kekkei Genkai, not the Hyūga Juin Jutsu. If you want it mentioned, put it in here, in the Juin Jutsu entry on the Naruto Jutsu page.--JadziaLover 14:39, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

removal notice

In the fight Naruto and Sasuke had, Sasuke's sharingan evolved fully and I saw at one time that the lines which surround the tomoes (the comma like dots which surround the pupil of a Sharingan eye)almost mix with the dots. I am also guessing that Sasuke has also gained a new Sharingan similar to Kakashi's. I think that Sasuke got Kakashi's Sharingan because at that battle Sasuke opened his Sharingan using a hand seal. I think that Sasuke does not know about the new Sharingan he got by the trauma he got.

As far as I know, personal speculations and first person reports are not Wikipedia material. I'm deleting this for the time being. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.60.106.3 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 19 September 2005.

Kakashis mengekyo

Ah reading about Kakashis transplanted sharingan from obito, and his development of mengekyo, *without* killing his best friend, it occured that its possible he got mengekyo because obito was something of a friend to him, and obito died saving him, hence giving the effects of killing your best friend, or something along these lines. As i havent seen these episodes, i dont know for sure, and wont put it into the actual post, however if someone agrees with me and feels it is worth posting, please do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.235.152.102 (talk • contribs) 14:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

This is just speculation, so it probably shouldn't be here. Not only that, but there are holes in this theory. First of all, Kakashi didn't give a damn about Obito when he died. Second of all, Kakashi has been feeling guilty about Obito's death for a long, long time, so why didn't he develop the Mangekyō before?

I think it's better to just wait until Kishimoto decides to enlighten us. --JadziaLover 17:28, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

why would you say kakashi didn't give a damn about obito? Of course he did, he was his teammate, and he gave up his life saving him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Renegade78 (talk • contribs) 08:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I think he trained for the special shariagan not through killing your best friend —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.218.219.219 (talk • contribs) 00:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I was under the impression that he recieved it by focusing massive amounts of Chakra into his left eye. Or was that a speculatory theory? The Wretched 12:53, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I think there is alot of room where we can speculate, and come up with some good ideas regarding Kakashi's MS (Mangekyou). I personally have heard no less than two firm arguments regarding his acquisition.

1. It is possible, as stated above, that Kakashi feels responsible for Obito's death, in essence "killing" him, which gave him the POTENTIAL for gaining MS. No one ever said there was a time limit on the deaths, or gaining of the MS. As it is, Kakashi can barely use it and he is a strong ninja. Itachi in all his glory can only use a few moves at a time as it is. This explains why Kakashi just now gained the ability. This theory makes no mention as to the appearance of the MS.
2. Itachi just told Sasuke that the method of gaining MS is killing your best friend to make him a hardened, strong, ninja. Infact, it doesnt matter how you gain MS, and there are multiple methods. Kakashi clearly has not killed his best friend (Gai) between his fight with Zabuza and Deidara, and yet he unlocked the power of MS. His is different in appearance to Itachi's because he gained it in a different way. This theory is understandable, because of the sheer requirements of using, much less controlling MS (Large amounts of Chakra, focus, etc). It could even be said that no one gains the power of MS unless they seek it out, and given Kakashi's past experience with MS it is understandable that he would want to gain this power.

Stupid theories:

1. Kakashi gained it by seeing Itachi's MS. Simply the most stupid of theories.
2. Kakashi's MS is different from Itachi's because he is not of Uchiha blood.

I'm sure there's more, but these are all I can really think of off the top of my head. SlaserX 18:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

And it might b because obito might have killed his best friend before kakashi got it.--67.191.195.232 17:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Wait a moment... Who, where or when was it said that Guy is Kakashi's best friend?

they act like best freinds.

They may act like long time friends but never was it stated that they are best friends.

We dont know how close exactly Kakashi and Obito were before he died, but my assumtion is that after Obito gave Kakashi the eye he asked Kakashi to end his misery and kill him quickly instead of him dieing under the rock. This allowed Kakashi to get the MS.74.73.103.13 20:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

On the apparent "limitations" of the Byakugan and the Sharingan

I have reworded this particular passage, especially the words in bold:

The potential advantage Byakugan can provide in battle lags severely behind the spectacular feats potentially achieved by possessors of the Sharingan (believed to be its genetic relative), but it is worth noting that while the different levels and vast multitude of abilities which can be activated via Sharingan have been almost (if not completely) exhausted it remains to be seen whether there is any more to the Byakugan than what has already been exposed.

into this (my amendments are in italics):

Although it seems that the potential advantage Byakugan can provide in battle lags behind the spectacular feats potentially achieved by possessors of the Sharingan (believed to be its genetic relative) because it cannot copy techniques that it sees, or hypnotize human targets, in terms of insight the former surpasses the latter [1] because it can "see" a lot of what the latter sees (and in some cases, see it better) as well as seeing a lot of what the Sharingan doesn't see. See below.

because the first passage appears to be worded in such a way that makes the Byakugan apparently inferior to the Sharingan by stating matter-of-factly that it "lags behind." In fact it has been stated within the series itself that the Byakugan, though admittedly not being able to copy techniques on-the-fly or hypnotize people, can "see" much better than the Sharingan, as stated by Kakashi himself. I have also deleted that last part about the Sharingan's abilities being almost (if not completely) exhausted in the series, since I feel that there isn't any evidence (internal or otherwise) for this. -- Gryphon Hall 16:23, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Additions

There should be an entry for Sakon/Ukon's kekkei genkai on this page, shouldn't there? Also I propose merging Naruto jutsu#Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limits) with this page ^^. I also think there should be mentions of the possible Kekkei genkai of Deidara and the Sandaime Kazekage. --JadziaLover 22:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Added Sakon/Ukon and Deidara, and the Kazekage. --Pentasyllabic 23:21, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

On the addition of Sakon/Ukon's Kekkei Genkai

I was always under the impression that their abilities were merely a side effect due to the Curse Seal. Obviously the Curse Seal physically alters the bearer's body, and I figured this was an alteration given to Sakon/Ukon. However, it's also apparent that the Curse Seal manipulates and strengthens one's existing abilities such as the addition of a bone-filled tail to Kimimaro. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I think some clarification of this issue should be made if evidence to do so exists. If not, maybe this issue should be addressed more fully in the Sakon/Ukon section. -- JesusFreakATX 06:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The second databook clearly states that Sakon and Ukon's abilities (Tarenken, Tarenkyaku, Souma no Kou, Kisei Kikai) are Kekkei Genkai related jutsu.--JadziaLover 09:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. I have not read the data books unfortunately. Do you know where I might obtain them? JesusFreakATX 06:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Shodai Hokage's abilities in ch291

Seeing as how Orochimaru duplicated Shodai Hokage's abilities through tinkering with genes, is this a possible bloodline, and if so, is it just the bijū control ability or also the mokuton jutsu? --Pentasyllabic 01:04, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm almost 100% certain that the Shodai's ability to do Mokuton Ninjutsu isn't a bloodline limit. First of all, the data book makes no mention of it, calling the jutsu he did a Hiden jutsu. Second, it's not a bloodline. It's limited to the Shodai, and none of his descendants have inherited the ability.

The same goes for the bijū control ability, although we have too little information to make a good judgement about that. --JadziaLover 10:17, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

"None of his descendants..." i.e. Tsunade. Good point. --Pentasyllabic 18:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

True, but as Hatake Kakashi said in the 316th manga chapter: "The ability to control two elements simultaneously and create a new element to manipulate... That's what's called a Kekkei genkai. You have atleast heard of the term, right? The boy Haku, you once fought had that too. He was able to use the bloodline limit of "Hyouton". He controlled two elements, "Wind" and "Water" to create "Ice". That's a special jutsu that can only be used by those born into a clan with a bloodline limit."

So, since the Wood release does combine two elements, it seems like a kekkei genkai --- Hackeru

But maybe there can be ninjas who can combinde two elements without birthright, but rater training. We have all seen Jounins use two elements one at the time, but maybe some can combinde them.88.206.159.226 12:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

We don't know if the Shodai's ability is a Kekkei genkai because Kekkei genkai are hereditary and from what we have seen, Tsunade, his granddaughter cannot use Mokuton techniques.74.73.103.13 20:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

question

who do think would win in a fight in Naruto 2 Hinata or Neji —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.218.219.219 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

While the question is speculation, all evidence points to Neji. Hinata and Neji have both had two and a half years to train, and while Neji has advanced to Jounin level Hinata is still at the Chunin level. 171.72.5.226 18:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

No offense, but I think that means nothing. Don't forget that Hinata has that technique she learned in the Bikōchu Arc (I haven't actually seen that arc, but it said in her article that it was powerful, so powerful that some cringed at Masashi for giving her such an overpowered move). Although it's a filler technique, it would create a big continuity issue if she hadn't learned it in the main story. Also, we still don't know what it takes for someone to be a Jōnin. Neji could've just been promoted for someting he did on a mission or for completing a certain amount or something. If she hasn't improved by now, then it would make her pretty useless as a fighter. All I'm saying is, don't count Hinata out yet... The Wretched 13:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Continuity issues? The only way the anime and manga would contradict each other is if Manga Hinata goes out and blatently says she knows no such technigue, which would be extremely random. Manga Hinata just won't use the move. And does Masashi Kishimoto really help write the anime? And people cringed that 'Masashi Kishimoto' gave her such a move? I don't think he's a writer for the anime. Bottom line, Hinata won't use that move again unless the writers for the anime decide to through it in during one of her future battles.

She's used it twice in the anime. As for the manga, they wouldn't hold back such a technique in a situation where it would be helpful. Of all the filler moves, I'd expect that move to be the one they carry over. Most of the other moves are useless in comparison. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 23:51, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Compare every Chunin to every Jounin introduced in the series, there's a huge class difference. Shes been promoted so clearly shes improved, and I dont doubt she'd put up a better fight. But fair odds Neji would win.--Master Shan 02:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

No, the Sharingan was added unnaturally to Kakashi. As such, if he had any decendants, they wouldn't even inherit it in one eye. The Wretched 13:03, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Merger

The Naruto jutsu page contains a second set of (somewhat more basic) information about kekkei genkai, essentially creating two Bloodline limit pages. While it does have a link to the main Kekkei genkai (Naruto) page, I would suggest scanning the Naruto Jutsu's version for any information the Kekkei genkai page doesn't already have, and then deleting it and just leaving the link - what says anyone else?

Mangekyo Sharingan Appearance

The article talks a lot about how Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan looks different from Itachi's, even speculating that this dojutsu's appearance may vary across users. Well, can't we also speculate that maybe Mangekyo Sharingan changes appearance depending on which jutsu is being used? We know what Itachi's eyes look like when using Tsukiyomi, but we've never seen his eyes during Amaterasu. What if Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, and Kakashi's jutsu (Susanoo?) all have their own characteristic pupil appearances? --focoma 10:37, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

i wondered 4 a while 2 and i don't think it's whitch jutsu he's using

i think its what jutsu he can use.--67.191.195.232 17:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I dont like these connections between the justu Kakashi used and Amaterasu...It just seems like a stretch to connent Itachi and his MS's. Amaterasu's defining after-effect, black flames, dont in anyway appear after kakashi's attack..the jutsu is described as a warp in space-time...he's literaly removing objects from this plane of existence rather than destroying them with flames as hot as the sun. Anyway...while it is true that Amaterasu was sen off screen I think we have enough information to at least conclude that they are likely two different jutsu's rather than the same.--Master Shan 21:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. Of course they're different jutsus. My point is that Amaterasu might have its own unique pupil appearance. What I'm speculating is that each Mangekyo Sharingan jutsu appears differently, so Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan is the same Mangekyo Sharingan as Itachi's...just using a different justsu. --focoma 04:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I'm disputing the part in the article where it says that Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan is "a different version". I don't think it is. I think Itachi could also use Kakashi's space-warping jutsu (if he knew how Kakashi learned it), and while doing it, his eyes would look exactly like Kakashi's during his fight with Deidara. --focoma 07:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Itachi hasn't used Kakashi's space-warping MS, the end. There's nothing to dispute here. --Pentasyllabic 12:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually, this theory makes a lot of sense. I believe what he means to say is that if Itachi were to use Kakashi's space-warping jutsu (although we know he doesn't) that his MS may look like Kakashi's. In other words, different MS justus have different appearances.

Haku's bloodline and continuity

Haku's kekkei genkai brings up one of the larger continuity issues in the series, though it is restricted to the movies. In Naruto the Movie: Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts, the three Snow ninja were all able to use some form of ice-based jutsu. Furthermore, Kakashi was able to copy one of their jutsu with his Sharingan. This could only mean that their ice-based jutsu wasn't kekkei genkai-based, yet it is explained in Part II that such techniques require the ability to mix chakra, which normal people can't do.

I have some objections to this this section, the foremost being that the movies aren't generally considered canon. But, if you want to speculate, there were only four Snow ninja (probably elite ninja too, having the power to stage a coup in the Snow Country), and thus not "normal people". (see also: retcon) --Pentasyllabic 22:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Good point. Only seemed prudent to include it after that whole explanation. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 23:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The movies arent canon so it doesnt really matter, but my theory is that since it was so cold in the snow country, he used a water jutsu and it turned into ice.

It has been explained that Haku mixes wind and water chakra, thus making ice. It was his bloodline. --Benpercent 16:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Akadō Yoroi

Why isn't anything included on Akadō Yoroi? Has the anime or manga confirmed that his chakra-stealing technique isn't a kekkei genkai? Because I distinctly remember back when it was first introduced that there was a flurry of discussion about it, and most of it seemed to point to the technique being a kekkei genkai. Someone mind clearing this up? Kakashi-sensei 05:26, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Elemental mixes

As explained in a recent chapter by Kakashi, kekkei genkai rely on elemental mixes. I want to edit this article to add the confirmed elemental mixes and add kakashi's speech to the top. ok? Nomingo 19:31, 26 Aug 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary since the Hyoton and Mokuton entries already mention what types they mix, unless there are other known mixes? --Pentasyllabic 17:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

You misunderstand Kakashi. He said Haku and Yamato rely on such mixes. The Sharingan, Byakugan, etc, do not rely on such mixes to operate. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 00:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

You can't really see the pupils or what it looks like in the colored picture because of the shadows, we might want to replace it with a Manga picture instead, cause a black and White eye is easier to see then the Red and Black we are seeing now.

Filler Kekkai Genkai's

Shouldn't someone make a place for the filler kekkai genkai's to be under, to help people not get confused and that they are only in the anime and not really considered canon. It's not too important since there's only two, but im just pointing this out.

It's not up to us to decide what's canon and what isn't. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 19:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I would point out that they're not necessarily saying it's not canon, so much as pointing out the fact that when there are differences in two existing works and one is an adaptation of the other (generally with little/no input from the original author) it is considered that the adaptation is not strictly canon. By differentiating between the kekkei genkai forms that are strictly canon, which is to say from the manga, and the ones that are not STRICTLY canon, or from the anime, may confer some benefit unto people that are coming here for enlightenment. As they mentioned, it's not terribly important, as there is basically nothing present in the two from the anime that strictly contradicts anything from the manga, there could come a point where an impasse is reached, and by separating them now, it would provide a simple explanation resolving that as well as just create a nice breakdown between the manga originating and anime originating moves, which will be helpful in the future when/if more anime-exclusive KGs are added, if it's difficult to accept a canon/noncanon comparison. 192.251.125.85 10:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Naruto's clan

Naruto having a demon inside him can't really be considered a clan technique as someone learns such from other members of that clan, which Naruto doesn't have.

What are you talking about, no one said anything about Naruto in a clan and it's not in the articles.

Then why is he used in the notes section?

Naruto is used as an example of what a kekkei genkai is not. Try reading it. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 20:16, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

First, I'd like to apologize and say that now I've read the article more carefully. Second, having a demon doesn't give the person specialized techniques, merely an increse in strength and chakra, though they could make such techniques from those increases. Third, I thought that the article would give an example of a clan's specialized technique.

Sharingan

Is the sharingan able to tell the difference between types of jutsu. I mean like being able to tell if one jutsu is an earth type while another is lightning and stuff like that. I was just wondering because of when Kakashi found out Kakuzu was using an earth jutsu, and was wondering if that was either the sharingan or just him using the sharingan to see the jutsu and then he deduced what it was because of being quite knowledgeable.

That's Kakashi's own knowledge. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 00:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I just reread it so never mind.

I have a sharingan question. Can the sharingan copy clan techniques because i don't see why it shouldn't.74.73.103.13 23:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Check the notes. Their ability to control bugs is not a kekkei genkai. They merely make themselves into a hive and control the bugs through chakra. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 21:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Question on Sharingan

So does the sharingan actually let the user use any element? Since it can copy mostly any jutsu I'm sure that it allows them to manipulate all the elements. If not then this whole new nature manipulation is confusing. Oontzah 04:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)Oontzah

It only lets the user use those jutsu they have the ability to perform. One must know how to perform water/fire/etc. jutsu to properly copy such things. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 04:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Mangekyou Sharingan

Everybody's been saying that Kakashi has his own varient of the MS. Now this is just a theroy, but, Couldn't it be that the Mangekyou Sharingan's "requirement" and development differs amoung the users? We've only seen two different versions on only two different people. 74.234.57.43 15:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

dosen't Ino's abilities to enter others peoples bodys count as a kekkei genkai?

I mean if you think about it only her and her dad do things like that, she should be invluded in this shoulden't she? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.190.133.20 (talk) 19:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC).

Some clans has developt some special characteristic technique, like Ino and the mind jutsu, but they are not genetic, like the kekkei genkai, so thats why they are called Hiden, because nobody outside the clan knows them.Jacce 06:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Nara Clan Shadow abilities

Is Shikamaru's abilities clan related, or are they a Kekkei Genkai? Sorry if we talked about this, but I don't have the databooks to check. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.119.225.61 (talk) 14:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

It's clan related.Jacce 15:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

There are two types of blood related jutsu. There is the clan jutsu, like the Nara clan jutsu or the Yamanaka clan jutsu which are teachable to anyone in naruto. Then there is other clan related jutsu like the dojutsu type(i.e. sharingan, byakugan) that are not copyable. Thus far Nara clan jutsu and Yamanaka clan jutsu are not kekkei genkai.

Hiden

I was just wondering, should we put Hiden's immortality ability under possible kekkei genkai? It seemed to be connected to his body, as it didn't ever run out, even after he was completely blown to pieces.Lascoden 04:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Not clear what causes it. Could be a technique of some sort. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 22:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I think it shouldnt be put under Kekkei Genkai because you cant pass down immortality through your genes. Or else all of Hidan's family would be alive and known. Orochimaru12 07:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Who ever added the Hidan section should really improve the article fluency if it is going to stay. 8:24 1 March 2007

Iron Sand

Would the iron sand be the same as the Wood based moves that the First Hokage pulls out? Rocks Lotus 13:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
