Q: What kind of games does Telltale make?
Telltale is famous for its point and click (or, in some of their later titles, click and drag) adventure games. In essence, these games focus on brains over brawn- you must examine and manipulate your environment to solve puzzles and move the story forward. "Abe Lincoln Must Die!" one of Telltale' early "Sam and Max" games is available for free to download for PC owners if you want a taste of what a point and click game is like.
Not all of their games are adventure titles- Telltale has also done a more Professor Layton-esque puzzle game ("Puzzle Agent") and two poker titles ("Telltale Texas Hold 'Em" and "Poker Night at the Inventory"). However, Telltale's selling point, even outside of its adventure games, is its ability to weave a captivating story. Yes, even in a poker game.
Q: What is this "season" thing everyone keeps talking about?
Aside from their one-shot games like Puzzle Agent and Poker Night, Telltale makes 'episodic games'. If you buy a season, about once a month you'll get a new 2-4 hour game to play, called an 'episode'- kind of like a TV show. And just like on TV, each episode has its own plot, but the season as a whole has an overarching plot spanning all the episodes.
It is also possible to purchase the entire season at once by buying a season pass- you can download all episodes that have already been released up to that point and will get the rest as they come out. And, of course, you can buy the entire season of any game that is finished and get all the episodes at once. Many of Telltale's older episodes can be purchased individually, but most of their newer titles only come as a season pack.
Most of these seasons are 5 episodes long, but there are a few exceptions- "Wallace and Gromit" and "Jurassic Park" are four, and "Sam and Max Season 1" is six.
An added benefit of several shorter games with an overarching plot is, again, the same as one would get from watching television. Water-cooler talk is always exciting on the forums, in between episodes there is always engaging discussion on what might happen next.
Q: What platform(s) do they make games for?
All Telltale games have a PC version, some have versions for Mac, Wii, PS3, XBox360, iPad, and iPhone/iPod Touch. To figure out which games can be purchased for which system, go to the "Games" page in the toolbar. There will be small icons next to each title telling you what systems that game can be purchased for.
Q: Wait- I'm a Linux user! What about me?
There's a guide on the Support section of the forums to help you get your games up and running with Linux. Since "Abe Lincoln Must Die!" is freeware, I'd suggest getting your settings calibrated using that game before you purchase other ones.
Q: Wait- I'm a Mac user! What about me?
The games currently available for Mac are, in chronological order of original release date: "Sam and Max Season 2", "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People", "Tales of Monkey Island", "Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse" (Season 3), "Puzzle Agent", "Poker Night at the Inventory", "Back to the Future", "Hector: Badge of Carnage", "Jurassic Park", "Law and Order Legacies" and "The Walking Dead".
Note that all games Back to the Future or later use Mac's Snow Leopard's new app system, so you need Snow Leopard (OSX-6) to play it. The other games only require Leopard (OSX-5).
If you bought the Sam and Max Bundle, or any bundle containing "Sam and Max Season 1", when the game is ported to Mac (it has been said that it WILL be ported), you can download the Mac version- no extra charge.
As of now, the Telltale games with no Mac version (or planned version) are "Bone", "Telltale Texas Hold 'Em", "CSI", and "Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures". However, they will work in CrossOver Games or Wine if you have these programs and the right settings. I've played Season 1 of Sam and Max via CrossOver, and it works beautifully.
Q: How do I get my games?
Depends on the system. If you buy from Telltale's store, you are purchasing the PC (or PC/Mac) version of the game, ONLY. It will then show up in your "My Games" toolbar (it looks like a joystick, and it's on the top right of the page). You can the download each episode at your leisure, once they are released, and are not tied to downloading them on a single computer (You can put them on both your laptop and the desktop you share with your family, for example).
For iPod/iPad games, you buy them directly through the iTunes App store. Playstation users can do it though PSN, Wii games through WiiWare, and Xbox through their online service, too.
You can also purchase Telltale games through Steam or other third-party sites, but you're not eligible for the game DVDs if you do (see below).
Some games, like "Sam and Max Season 1", have retail discs that you can buy in brick-and-mortar gaming stores if that's your thing, too. Non English-language copies (see the "Accessibility" section below for details) of some games will also be a retail version.
Q: Do I have to be in the US, or be a US citizen, to buy the games?
No. Telltale's games from their store have no region lock, and can be downloaded and played anywhere in the world. The only thing you need is a valid credit card, debit card, or PayPal account (and the internet, but see below for more).
Also, since the games purchased from Telltale's store are direct downloads, you won't need to worry about international shipping charges- and you can download and play them immediately (so long as it has been released).
Q: Do I need the internet to play the games downloaded from Telltale's website?
No. You need the internet to download the games, but that's it. You can choose activate the games instantly with the internet using your account name and password, but this is not necessary. You also have the option to write to Telltale with your serial number and a code the game gives you (either via email or snail mail) to get an unlock key from them. Remember, they will only respond during business hours, so your replay may not be instantaneous.
If you have no internet access at all on the computer you want to play on, or your bandwidth is capped for whatever reason, you can have a friend download the games' installers for you onto a flash drive, and manually unlock the games by sending Telltale a letter with the aforementioned serial number and game code. If it's a bandwidth issue, you can still use a friend's installer, but activate the game instantly with the internet, if you don't want to wait.
Once the game is unlocked, it can be played on that computer anywhere, at any time (even without internet access), unless you manually re-lock your games. Each computer you install your games on needs to be unlocked separately, however.
Also, if a game is patched, it will need to be unlocked again if you choose to download the patched version of the game.
WITH GAMES Law and Order OR NEWER:
Telltale has changed their installer system. With Law and Order and The Walking Dead, you do not install separate games for each episode in a season. Instead, you install one launcher. One it is installed, you can install later episodes from within said launcher as they are made available. As before, once an episode is installed, internet access is not needed to play, and the installation/registration process only occurs once.
Q: Why haven't they given a release date? All I see is the month!
Well, that's just the way Telltale works (most of the time. Sometimes they'll give a date, like with the first Back to the Future episode, or Puzzle Agent 2).
The company has stated that they split up into smaller teams for development, and while the voice acting and writing may already be dome to episode 2 or 3, the coding is still on 1. They'll usually work on a game up until the moment of release, so you will know the month of release way in advance, but the exact day won't usually be revealed until about a week before release.
In other words, if they say that will be out in March, it will be released anytime from March 1st to the 31st. In the past, Telltale has often released games on a Tuesday, but this does not ALWAYS happen. They'll write a blog post as soon as they pick a date, so check the Telltale Blog often!
Jurassic Park is an exception. All four episodes will be available November 15th.
You can also choose to sign up for email notifications, if you wish.
Q: They said the game would be out today! Where is it? I want it NOW!
Unfortunately, due to time zones, when Telltale says that the game will be out on, say, Friday the 15th, it may already be well into Saturday the 16th when it is actually released. Telltale didn't lie or cheat you out of your money, it's a matter of where their headquarters is located.
Telltale Games is situated in California in the United States of America. When they release a game, it's usually between the hours of 9am and 5pm US Pacific Standard Time, which is GMT/UMC -8 Hours. So that means when it's 9am on a Friday in San Francisco, it's:
- 4am on Saturday in Sydney, Australia
- 6pm on Friday in Berlin, Germany
- 3pm on Friday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- 2am on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan
- 5pm on Friday in London, UK
(*Please note these times will change based on Daylight Savings Time in the respective countries too- during the summer, there will be an one less hour of difference between California and where you live!)
Essentially, for someone living in Japan, one has to keep in mind that while it may already be Friday afternoon for in Tokyo, for the Telltale staff, well, they're still a full day behind. The game could basically be released the following morning at 10AM there and Telltale has kept its promise of delivering their games on time.
For more about time zones, visit http://www.timeanddate.com and use the Meeting Planner to work out when the game will be released in your time zone.
Q: I heard Telltale makes DVDs of their PC and Mac games!
You heard right! And better yet, they are free- so long as you purchased the whole season. All you have to pay for is shipping on these DVDs. Keep in mind though- only seasons purchased directly from Telltale's store qualify for these DVDs, and only one per purchase of a season. Even if you bought a season in a pack or during a sale, you will still qualify for the DVD so long as the sale was on Telltale's website, but you will have to contact them for an unlock key; their online store has trouble recognizing season packs for some reason.
Do keep in mind that not all the games that have a Mac version that you download from Telltale's website have a Mac DVD. For example, "Sam and Max Season 2" has a Mac version of the game for download, but the disc only has the PC game. The extra commentary, videos, and bonus content will work on your Mac's DVD drive, however.
Right now, only the "Tales of Monkey Island", "Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse", "Back to the Future" and "Jurassic Park" DVDs have both the Mac and the PC versions of the games on them.
Q: Do they make games in (insert language here)?
Aside from "Back to the Future" and "Jurassic Park", which are available in English, German, and French directly from Telltale's site, not directly. Telltale's games look as good as anything else on the market, but, in reality, they're still a relatively small company. The games directly from their website (again, aside from BttF) are in English only, but English subtitles are on all of their games for those who can read English but have trouble with spoken English.
Some of their titles have regional versions dubbed in other languages like Spanish and German, sold on retail discs, but not all of their games, and these retail discs can not be purchased directly from Telltale's site. These games are also NOT a simultaneous release- some have come out years after Telltale has finished them, so while Telltale has regional versions of some of their games, please don't EXPECT one.
Forum members are always happy to help, if you need it, but unfortunately, I've yet to see Tales of Monkey Island or Sam and Max in Japanese/Chinese/Swahili/Urdu... Sorry!
These games are very dialogue heavy, after all, and a lot of it is humor- something that is inherently hard to translate into another language.
Q: I'm hearing/visually/physically impaired. Are there any accommodations?
For the hearing impaired: As stated above, all Telltale games have subtitles that can be switched on if you need them. All spoken dialogue has subtitles. There is one sound related puzzle in Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1 (Launch of the Screaming Narwhal) that you may need help with. You are not penalized for wrong answers (other than having to start over again from the beginning of the puzzle) so it is possible to beat it without being able to hear.
For the visually impaired: Despite being legally blind myself, I had no trouble playing any of the titles. However, there is one color-related puzzle in Season 1, Episode 5 of Sam and Max (Reality 2.0) for those of you who are color blind- you may need assistance, although it is possible to solve without seeing color. In the same episode, there is also one tiny portion (about two or three lines) that is text-only with no speech. In "Puzzle Agent", there is one red-green puzzle, so keep that in mind too.
For the blind: Unfortunately, you do need to be able to see to navigate the game. However, everything that has text in the game is also spoken, so you can tag-team with a sighted friend and enjoy all of Telltale's excellent stories!
For the physically handicapped- There are no fast movements required in any of the games- if you miss a puzzle due to timing, you can retry any puzzle as many times as you like until you succeed.
JURASSIC PARK and THE WALKING DEAD:
These games have high-tension timed events, and you will die if you fail to escape the dino or zombie in time- you will be sent to the last save point. I strongly recommend those with visual impairments or a physical handicap to check out a demo on YouTube to see if you'll be able to play before committing to a purchase. As mentioned earlier, I am legally blind and while I can play and love almost everything in Telltale's library, it is impossible for me to play Jurassic Park due to the quick reactions needed to succeed.
FORUM STUFF (Note, there is a separate FAQ just for the forums, but some of it is reiterated here)
Q: What's up with the different colored names? Why are some people red, grey, etc?
The name colors signify the poster's status.
Blue: Regular forum member.
Grey (with a small Max head directly to the right of their name, it's a little rabbit face): Moderator. These people can move threads around if they are in the wrong place, delete spam, stop arguments and edit posts. Just remember that they're real people too, and will often post on the forums just because they are just as interested in Telltale as you are!
Red (with a TTG logo): Telltale staff. Can be anybody who works for Telltale, from support to the head developers.
Q: Waitasec...A Telltale employee on the board? LOLWHUT?
Yeah, we're as baffled as you are; how do they even get that much time? But aside from that, it's not that uncommon for game developers to hang out on boards, answering questions of their fans, or just plain fool around. They're often willing to answer your questions, except questions they can't legally answer (non-disclosure agreements, etc) or personal questions. Don't you go try and ask their credit card number!
Q: Someone on the boards is typing in really bad English: no punctuation, and the sentences don't seem to make sense. They must be a spammer! How do I contact a moderator?
Whoah! Great job for being proactive and trying to make the forums a better place! Please, however, keep these things in mind:
1. Not everyone types on the forums. There are people on the board that use speech-to-text software because they can't type- they may be blind or have dyslexia, etc. They enjoy Telltale's games just as much as everyone else.
2. Not everyone here is a native speaker of English. Look at the locations of some of Telltale's forum members- the Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, Germany... Some people even use Telltale's games as a way of learning English!
If it looks like neither of these cases is true, and you really think the person in question is spamming, there's a little red triangle with an exclamation point in the bottom left of each forum post. That will take you to a "Report Post" screen where you can alert a moderator. This also works if you see someone harassing another forum member, etc.
Q: I've got a technical problem with .
For problems, your best bet is to go to the support board of the forums, where your problems would more likely get solved than on their respective games pages. Most technical support topics will get moved there anyway, but to make it easier for the board moderators, just be sure to post your problems there. Unless they're personal problems.
In addition, an email to firstname.lastname@example.com can be used to get an answer from a TTG employee if all else fails. They aren't always going to see your request on the support page but they do answer email regularly. Remember that they are in the Pacific time zone, so don't expect a response until Telltale's doors are open; it may take a day or two if you send it during a US holiday or a weekend.
Also, even if they don't respond on the support forums, you might get advice from other forum members. The Linux guide, for example, was written by forum members, not staff!
Q. Hey my game won't work, why won't Telltale fix it already? I was ripped off!
A. Telltale works hard on trying to fix as many as bugs as they can. Some of the bugs you may be experiencing have workarounds which will be posted on the support page, so check there first. On rare occasions, Telltale will release a patched version if a particularly nasty bug causes the game to break.
However, if the problem persists, it could also be because your PC/Mac isn't as powerful enough as it should be to get the game to work. Before committing yourself to buying a game, check the minimum system requirements. If your computer is missing something small, it may be time for an update (Back to the Future requires OSX-6 for Mac users, for example). If you're missing something large, like a processor or graphics card, you may want to borrow a friend's computer, try the console version of said game, or think about updating your computer entirely if you really want to play.
If you pre-ordered a title only to discover that you won't be able to play it due to your computer not meeting the requirements, contacting Telltale directly in a calm manner is probably the best way to get you problem sorted out.
Q: How do I solve this really hard puzzle in ?
Each game has a special game section on the forums, and within those sections is a hint forum, where you can check and see in anyone else got stuck. Other forum members will be happy to chime in with helpful hints, or if you're really stuck, the answer. Be careful- there are spoilers abound on these sections.
If you want a gentle nudge while in the game, you can hit the ESC key to go to the menu and turn up the in-game hint meter, too. Your character will occasionally (or often, depending on the setting) quip about something you should be doing. Some of these hints are more obtuse than others.
Naturally, Telltale's poker games don't have hints, but there is a poker tutorial included. And, "Puzzle Agent", being a pure puzzle game, makes you 'pay' to receive hints, in the form of gum that is found in limited quantities scattered throughout the game.

Talk:Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi
Back to page
this wiki
Disk Shape
Is Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi actually disk shape with spikes on it or any shape with spikes on it? And is it possible that sasuke can make Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi on Susanoo's bones just like normal Amaterasu? ShounenSuki do you have an answer or no? Cooltamerboy (talk) 17:45, October 1, 2009 (UTC).
- There is no way we can be sure, unless we see another instance of Kagutsuchi being used, or it is stated in the manga or databooks. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 22:34, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
Would it be possible to use it on amaterasu's bones? Cooltamerboy (talk) 08:37, October 2, 2009 (UTC).
- Not a forum..--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 08:39, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, came in here to start a discussion about this, and I find that one has already been started! So... We know that "Kagutsuchi" is a technique that controls the flames of Amaterasu, to the extent of applying Shape Transformation to them. We've seen Sasuke using his right Mangekyou Sharingan in conjunction with his left to extinguish the flames back during the end of his fight with Killer B, and we know that the "Shield of Amaterasu" is a technique that is created through Shape Transformation(as mentioned by C, on page 15 of chapter 463). So I guess what I'm getting at, is shouldn't we have the Shield of Amaterasu article scrapped, and have all of that, along with the aforementioned act of extinguishing Amaterasu's flames, be a part of Kagutsuchi's technique description? Or do we REALLY have to wait for the next Databook to confirm it in another half a decade? :D--SaiST (talk)
- Sasuke used the name only when he did the spikes, so I assume that the least speculative option is to list the shield as a separate article until more information is given, like Blaze Release being used again in the manga or until the next Databook, which I believe will be out sometime next year. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 17:04, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
- Not really. Blaze Release is still a weird nature release with unknown properties that manipulates Amaterasu. Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi is still the technique in which Sasuke uses to manipulate Amaterasu.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:01, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I can't spell.
- Two it sounds as if I am doesn't it. To put it clearer, Blaze Release is the Nature Release that allows Amaterasu to be controlled, like Water Release allows water to be controlled, Kagutsuchi is the jutsu that actually does manipulate Amaterasu, like Water Release: Water Prison manipulates water into a prison.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 13:17, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- There's so much more I want to say, but it would lead into at least two other topics that have already been discussed to death here. So, moving on: Shouldn't we at least clarify that Kagutsuchi is the technique used to manipulate Amaterasu's flames, and that it is not limited to shaping them into any kind of spiked disk? Because Sasuke is clearly not using Kagutsuchi for that kind of application in this chapter, he's just using his Susanoo to swing a blade of Amaterasu's flames. SaiST (talk) 14:27, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
I changed the wording a bit to make it more inclusive(?) Ulti, I'm not 100% on what you meant by concentrated disks so if you need to re-add that be my guest.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:32, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't even know what I ment.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:33, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Mixing Names
Excuse me, but why is the literal english name (Blaze Release) put together with the japanese name (Kagutsuchi)? This has only done with special cases such as Rasengan, Chidori, and Kirin. I don't see why it should be a mixture, especially with such a simple name compared to Hokage-Style Sixty-Year-Old Technique — Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands (now there is an article whose name can be shortened). I fail to see why this mixture is made, rather than simply calling it Blaze Release: Added Tool Earth Lord.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 06:52, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
- It's the same special case as Kirin; Kirin is a mythical creature, and Kagutsuchi is a mythological figure. To use "Blaze Release: Added Tool Earth Lord" would be like using "Hashirama Thousand Hand". ~SnapperTo 07:12, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
Ah, so it's due to the fact that the name actually references an actual person/beast (mythological ones though), rather than just being a phrase or something.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round 07:28, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't there an image from the anime that doesn't cut off the spikes of fire? You know, the one thing this image is supposed to depict? —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 07:53, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

- There's an anime image but the Raikage will be in it....--Cerez☺ (talk) 12:13, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
- The Raikage doesn't really bother me that much, although it does somewhat take the focus off the actual technique in question. The quality seems to low to crop it nicely, too. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 12:34, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't we have an image of when it is used as a sword? There is quite a difference.--Kotoamatsukami (talk) 09:46, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
2 pages
there are 2 pages with the same information on Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi but one has a picture from the anime and the other has one from the manga —This unsigned comment was made by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) .
- One is the page about the Release, the other about the specific technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:51, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
Derived Techniques
With the confirmation that Kagutsuchi is in fact the ability to control and shape the flames, should not Shield of Black Flames and Blaze Release Magatama be listed as derived from it, rather than from Amaterasu itself? For that matter, should Shield of Black Flames still be listed as a technique at all?--BeyondRed (talk) 19:02, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I think they should be considered derived techniques of this. I would hold off deleting those two pages for now, as one had a apt description, which we currently use as a name, and the other was a rather specific shape. If it turns out that all those are Kagutsuchi, we simply redirect the pages. We might not even have to wait for a databook. Remember that Dust Release cone Ōnoki used? We first treated it as a separate technique, but we later got confirmation it was the same technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:53, May 13, 2012 (UTC)
yeah it seems like a lot of kekkei genkai and other special abilties, have all it's uses in a single technique.220.127.116.11 (talk) 20:44, May 13, 2012 (UTC)yomiko-chan
In the latest chapter, the Furigana for 加具土命 are written using Hiragana and not Katakana, as it was done before. Are there any other times when Sasuke used this? Seelentau 愛議 16:35, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
- He's only ever used the name in 585 and the first time against A.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:41, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
- Potassium. I think it's time to move the article, but Suki-senpai might have a different opinion about that, so let's wait~ Seelentau 愛議 16:53, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
Does Sasuke need to point the flames
It seems that Sasuke doesn't have to point with the eye the Amaterasu flames he wants to manipulate. Instead he points the spot where he wants the nearby - and out of sight - flames to be moved. I think the first and second to last pages of chapter 463 are good examples of this.--JOA20 (talk) 21:40, December 4, 2012 (UTC)
- And how are we going to put that in the article and even more so why put it in the article?126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:32, December 4, 2012 (UTC) Yhwach
- I just thought that maybe no one noticed it. Just asking.--JOA20 (talk) 07:49, December 5, 2012 (UTC)
Kagutsuchi Magatama
In being consistent with Sword of Kagutsuchi's naming, should Blaze Release: Magatama be changed to "Kagutsuchi Magatama"? Also, since every usage of this technique except for the spikes used against A is now named, should that also be given an article?--BeyondRed (talk) 16:26, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Blaze Release: Yasaka Magatama--TheUltimate3 (talk) 18:16, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
Kekkei Genkai List
Shouldn't EMS be added to the list? I know MS is already there and it is an MS technique, but Sasuke still couldn't use one variant until he obtained his EMS. I think we should modify this list. I acknowled it is a MS technique, but he did require the eMS before he coudl use one variant just like he couldn't use the Blaze Release: Yasaka Magatama without the EMS. Banan14kab 02:03, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Naruto can't throw Rasenshuriken without either Sage Mode or Nine-Tails' Chakra Mode, yet we don't list Wind Release: Rasenshuriken as either senjutsu or tailed beast skill. Sasuke's own Susanno changed after getting EMS, doesn't mean we list Susanno as an EMS technique either. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 03:43, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Sasuke's Susanoo had a black flame orb even before he acquired the Eternal Mangekyo, there's nothing saying he couldn't have used his flame sword or his magatama technique back then if given the chance.--BeyondRed (talk) 06:07, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Then why don't you change Blaze Release: Yasaka Magatama to an MS technique instead of an EMS technique? Also Omnibender your examples are kinda different because Naruto used the same version of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. It's the same exact technique; he just can throw it in those cases. The Susanoo case was better, but that's just appearance with the evolution of Sasuke's eyes. Also you don't exclusively need EMS to have Susanoo. You need MS. FOr Sasuke to use the sword version it seems he needed EMS, but I guess there is no certainty for that. But I guess the sword transformed in the same sense Sasuke's Susanoo did. Banan14kab 07:25, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
I support the cause, we should list it as EMS or either remove Magatama as an EMS technique too--Elveonora (talk) 09:53, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Sasuke's Susanoo still changed, regardless of it having the black orb before. The Magatama was only used post transplant, so it should stay as EMS. I've never seen the need to have both MS and EMS as different kekkei genkai for either character or jutsu infobox purposes, it creates unnecessary issues, like this one, but if we're using it, might as well use then right. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 12:44, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
Guys, please be aware that MS and eMS are the same Kekkei Genkai. An eMS is just an eternal MS, nothing else. Seelentau 愛議 14:03, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
The Susanoo still changed tho--Elveonora (talk) 14:28, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
- They do that all the time. Seelentau 愛議 20:25, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
Let's not get off topic. Susanoo is not the issue here. It is another technique which requires the MS to use as has been established in the series and that's that. Yes it changes after you gain the EMS (which is an evolved MS), but it doesn't require EMS exclusively to use. The point I was trying to make here is that the Kagutsuchi jutsu changed in a different form which seems to require the EMS which why I thought it should be listed in the kekkei genkai list, just as the Blaze Release: Yasaka Magatama requires (or at least is hinted at by the series) the EMS as the MS is not sufficient, but like Omnibender said we don't know if Sasuke could use that technique before obtaining his EMS since we are only going by what is shown in the series. I disagree that this is unnecessary because it makes a better distinction of what techniques require the MS only and which require the EMS to use a jutsu exclusively. We don't know if he could use the flame sword when he had the MS, but he never did. So I was following the same logic as the emblazoned yasaka magatama. Since in the series Sasuke did not use it until he exclusively had his EMS I still stand firm that it should be listed as well as the MS. Yes they are the same dōjutsu, but one is still slightly different otherwise we would just list MS for everything and leave EMS out. Why even include it in Sasuke, Itachi, Kakashi, Obitio, Izuna and Obito's infoboxes then? Banan14kab 21:20, April 18, 2013 (UTC)
I kind of hate to bring this up again, but there's really nothing implying that Susanoo's change of appearance was caused by Sasuke taking Itachi's eyes, is there? The seal pattern on Naruto's chakra mode changed slightly after its first appearance too, for example; it isn't unheard of for something to be redesigned. Not saying it didn't change because of the EMS, but what makes everyone believe that it did? As far as we've been told, EMS is just the same as Mangekyo but "eternal", we haven't actually seen it grant any unique abilities or possess other special properties yet.--BeyondRed (talk) 00:27, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
It's logical, Susanoo is an avatar/physical manifestation of chakra, Sasuke took Itachi's eyes (containing his chakra) and noted he feels it flowing through his body, so figure Sasuke's chakra is now partially made-up of Itachi's as well so Susanoo should be kinda different?--Elveonora (talk) 10:03, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
Well, in the German Narutopedia, I handled it this way: Enton: Kagutsuchi is an MS jutsu because he used it with the MS for the first time. Enton: Yasaka no Magatama is an eMS jutsu (which includes it being an MS jutsu), because Sasuke used it with his eMS for the first time. Same with Madara's meteor jutsu: He had his Rinnegan activated while using it, that's why I listed it as a Rinnegan jutsu, even though he maybe could use it with eMS.
tl;dr: The dojutsu which was active while using a jutsu for the first time is crucial. Seelentau 愛議 11:28, April 20, 2013 (UTC)
Alright fine I get it Seelentau. There some jutsu that list more than one dōjutsu if it entails both. I guess the main argument of all this was if EMS is listed as different than MS, but like everyone has been saying they are the same, but one is more advanced. So the fact stands that you need the MS to use it, which means if you have EMS you can automatically use it since it is an evolved form of MS. Ok this case is closed. I get it now. Banan14kab 05:55, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
Picture of Susano'o less version.
Just putting a reminder here for that. Neither of the translated versions is usuable due to the english text, so we have to get the RAW version.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 19:54, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Now you brought this up, shouldn't we merge "shield of black flames" with this article? I believe Blaze Release: Yasaka Magatama warrants its own article for now and... I would even agree on the Sword orb version too. Can anyone tell me the chapter please when Sasuke does the sword one and calls it just kagatsuchi? The way I would imagine it is that the version which uses flames directly from the orb held by Amaterasu is one variant, while the other which doesn't require the orb is another. Perhaps in the chapter I'm asking for he just used Amaterasu from his eye on his Susanoo Sword and coated it, while in the instance of WZ murder it was orb created. If yes, then I think we should again separate it and re-create "sword of kagatsuchi" for it--Elveonora (talk) 20:16, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- I don't feel Shield of Black Flames should be merged with this article. This is pretty much the Blaze Release version of Chidori Current. None of the Chidori variants are merged with Chidori, so Shield of Black Flames shouldn't be merged either.
- Susanoo: Sword of Kagutsuchi (doesn't officially have a name of it's own, Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3's literal English translation might change that) is shown at chapter 586 page 7. Mangapanda's scanlation referred to it as "Enton-Kagutsuchi." I can't find the Mangastream scanlation, and I don't have access to the raw. General Awesomo 21:11, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Got a placeholder picture put up. Could anyone get the RAW version up now?--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 19:21, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
Chapter 632: Fire Release
In Chapter 632, the last two pages, Sasuke refers the technique as Fire Release instead of Blaze. Should we add that to the trivia at least? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 22:03, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- In raws too? Well, Amaterasu is technically Katon.--Elveonora (talk) 22:08, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- Didn't Sasuke introduced it as Blaze? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 22:42, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
- The MangaStream version says Katon, but MangaPanda has Enton 220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:13, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Mangastream used to have better translators. They've made some crass mistakes during this arc, even with stuff that has already been translated correctly before. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:34, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- The MangaStream version says Katon, but MangaPanda has Enton 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:13, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Didn't Sasuke introduced it as Blaze? Yatanogarasu (Talk) 22:42, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
Tobirama's statement
Seems to infer that Kagutsuchi wasn't unique to Sasuke, but that he's demonstrated the most powerful example of it. Should this be mentioned in the article? SaiST (talk) 13:11, June 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Wait for the raw. If so, then it would suggest Madara/Izuna as a user .-. --Elveonora (talk) 13:30, June 12, 2013 (UTC)
Sword of Kagutsuchi not being Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi
Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3's Sword of Kagutsuchi uses the orb in Susanoo's secondary right hand. It's no longer Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, but Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi. The Susanoo sword used with Kagutsuchi in chapter 585, page 7, panel 4 was called Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, probably because it came from Sasuke's EMS, not the orb. Although looking back, the panel right before that one showed the orb present...
But we've come to the conclusion that the orb weapons are Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi. So, to keep the consistency, that's why the trivia about Sword of Kagutsuchi shouldn't be in this article's trivia section. General Awesomo (talk) 22:05, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
- You're absolutely correct, but it doesn't change the fact that it was first identified as Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi. Perhaps that particular trivia note will have to be altered, but that should at least be mentioned in this article, don't you think? SaiST (talk) 22:09, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
Kagutsuchi extingues flames
Since there's a phrase saying that this technique is the one that allows the user to extinguish the black flames of Amaterasu, logically we shoud put Itachi as a user.--JOA20 (talk) 19:29, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Chris Wilkinson said Wednesday he plans to resign as pastor of Morning Star Community Church at Hamlin. He says some church members were unhappy with his decision to let law enforcement use the bus.
Wilkinson is also Hamlin's mayor and police chief. He says he has no regrets about lending the bus and would do it again.
Lincoln County chief sheriff's deputy J.J. Napier says the church bus allowed officers to surprise the suspects.
Authorities made three arrests in last week's bust. Napier says as officers piled out of the church bus, the reaction from the suspects was, "Oh God, they've got me."

- Title
- A 0.4-mm-diameter probe for nonlinear optical imaging
- Author(s)
- Bao, Hongchun; Gu, Min
- Abstract
- A miniaturized probe that possesses a diameter of 0.4 mm is developed for two-photon-excited fluorescence imaging. The miniaturized probe was manufactured by the collapse of air holes and the formation of a lens on the tip of a double-clad photonic crystal fiber (DCPCF) using electric arc discharging from a conventional fusion splicer. As a result, a femtosecond pulsed laser beam delivered by the DCPCF can be directly focused on a sample for two-photon fluorescence imaging. The numerical aperture of the lensed DCPCF is 0.12. The corresponding focal spot size is 6 µm, which is close to the diffraction limit. This 0.4-mm-diamter probe can provide clear two-photon-excited fluorescence images of 10-µm-diameter fluorescent microspheres.

Hello my name is Haris and I am from Greece
I am 25 now and I started losing hair at 18, in my last year in high school
At first when I noticed it I got panicked, but my parents at that time assured me that it was something temporary due to exam anxiety and stress and that after exams it will stop and new hair will come out.
After of couple of months when the above of course did not happened I visited a dermatologist
He conscripted me with some topical solutions such as Lovillon Plus (if you know it) which practically didnt do anything and some multivitamins as well.
A few months later I was still loosing hair more rapidly even as university student now (no exam anxiety anymore) so I visited another dermatologist (still until now my dermatologist) and he gave me Rogaine 5% at once and some sebum regulating shampoos because except from hair loss I had a lot of dandruff and an extremely oily scalp (in general I have a very oily skin)
Since then (summer of 2000) I pretty much did that with some 3-month breaks on minoxidil in order to try some other products such as dercos etc
Except from the first year of use of Rogaine my hair loss never really stopped
I was completely desperate and disappointed; I thought there was nothing I could do
I watched day by day myself going bald and that utterly destroyed my self esteem , my self confidence and my psychological well being!
Seven months ago I could not take any more I had reached almost NW 6
So I decided to do a hair transplant (April 2005)
So I did one
I paid almost 4000 euro but the transplant was great
A lot of hairs were transplanted to me successfully
My front part of the head was adequately filled (I think I would like your opinions from my photos)
Although due to my situation (almost NW6) full coverage of the bald area was out of the question!
Now I m in a turmoil
I don not know what to do
Despite of the transplant being great I am still not happy about my heads appearance
As I see my scalp I believe that my hair loss pattern is leading me to NW 7
The above was confirmed few days ago by both my dermatologist and my surgeon who did my hair transplant
My derm strongly suggested propeccia at once while the surg told that propeccia side effects are very dangerous (he spoke about gyno, lifetime reduced sex drive, liver and/or kidneys cancer etc .) and I that I only should consider a second or even a third transplant
(Both doctors are now my friends so money is not an issue for them)
I have to note at this point that I stopped Rogaine for about 3 months before and 3 months after my hair transplant
So I am no the regimen you are looking for a about 3 months now
I can say that my hair look better in comparison with the previous years that I ve been using only Rogaine 5% and some strengthening shampoos.
My dandruff is almost gone, my scalp is less oily but hair loss is still happening (I try not to count hair for psychological reasons) and of course re growth is something I do not see anymore!
I do not know if my current regimen will be able to stop hair loss let alone cause some regrowth.
I also do not know if at my case even for finasteride is too late for regrowth
And also I am very afraid of the possible sides (I myself have red on the internet some pretty horrifying stories)
My goal is to stop if possible the hair loss and perhaps have some re growth
If regrowth is not possible at least stop hair loss so I can proceed in a second hair transplant in order to improve my heads appearance!
My current regimen is:
1x day 5% minoxidil diluted with follicare natural spray due to my large thinning area I must at least use 5ml
I consume like 60 ml of Rogaine every 15 days
1x day super hair energizer (ferm T) I like this product although I do not think it does much
1x day folligen solution therapy spray
1x day Aloe Vera and B5, keratin spray
Follicare nutrition supplement 2 capsules every day
Foltene strengthening, extra mild and sebum regulating shampoo
At this point I am also considering:
NizoraL 2%
spiro 5%
Dr Lees 15% minoxidil and azelaic acid
And topical finasteride which I am really searching all there is about it.
Unfortunately I do not have yet any pics prior to my hair transplant
However in these pics you can see my current condition
And click on: my hair
Please excuse me for my poor english
Thank you in advance and any help and advice is really more than welcomed.
I am quite worried and in bad need of any good advice!!

Associated Press Release
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A U.S. official says retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who commanded the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991, has died. He was 78.
The official tells The Associated Press that Schwarzkopf died Thursday in Tampa, Fla. The official wasn't authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
A much-decorated combat soldier in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was known popularly as "Stormin' Norman" for a notoriously explosive temper.
He lived in retirement in Tampa, where he had served in his last military assignment as commander-in-chief of U.S. Central Command. That is the headquarters responsible for U.S. military and security concerns in nearly 20 countries from the eastern Mediterranean and Africa to Pakistan.

The 2011 Argentine Triple Crown Season
The Triple Crown Tournament of Argentina, one of the most spectacular and long-awaited polo moments of the year, is coming up. During the 2011 Season, Jaeger-LeCoultre will support the Reverso ambassador Eduardo Novillo Astrada Jr. and his team La Aguada. Jaeger-LeCoultre in Argentina No watch can claim to be closer to the world of polo than Jaeger-LeCoultre's Reverso. The one and only truly polo watch in the world, the Reverso became the first watch to be dedicated to a hobby, sacrificing neither elegance to efficiency, nor vice versa. 80 years after the birth of the Reverso, Jaeger-LeCoultre confirms its strong links to the polo world as a partner of the famous La Aguada Polo Team and takes part in "The Triple Crown", the major polo championship tournament in Argentina. "The Triple Crown" of polo in Argentina includes three championships - the Tortugas Open, Hurlingham Open and Palermo Open (Argentine Open Polo Championship) that will see the world's best polo players, such as La Aguada's players: Eduardo Novillo Astrada Jr., Miguel (captain of the team), Javier, and Ignacio Novillo Astrada. Reverso was designed in 1931 upon the request of British players in the Indian Army, who had had enough of having their watches shattered during their games. The famous reversible case was invented to protect the dial and the glass, exposing the metal back to possible shocks. Along with saluting its 80th anniversary by introducing new Reversos, it goes without saying that the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre supports the most important event in the polo world: the Argentinian "Triple Crown". Jaeger-LeCoultre has become an official sponsor of La Aguada Polo Team and La Aguada Polo Club this year, and Eduardo Novillo Astrada Jr. is Jaeger-LeCoultre global ambassador since 2006. About La Aguada Polo Club and La Aguada Polo Team La Aguada Polo Club was born in 1959, in Córdoba, as an initiative of Julio "Yayo" Novillo Astrada, a fan of both polo and polo breeding, and grandfather of Eduardo Jr., Miguel, Javier, Ignacio and Alejandro –that plays in another polo team- Novillo Astrada, players of La Aguada Polo Team. Early in the 70's he bought some fields. Today, La Aguada is a Polo Clinic and a Resort of about 300 hectares, with 250 horses in training, 5 polo fields and 2 tacking fields. It is here that La Aguada Polo Team train and take care of their horses. After various tournaments played as La Aguada, the Novillo Astrada brothers won "The Triple Crown" of Argentina in 2003 by winning the Tortugas Open, Hurlingham Open and Palermo Open in the same season. This provoked admiration in worldwide polo considering they had become the 4th team in polo history to win it and the only team composed by brothers, constant candidates and animators in each high goal season of Argentina. La Aguada BMW, because of its Title Sponsor "BMW" since 2010, is a prestigious brand, not only in polo but also in general sports. Satandard bank and Jaeger-LeCoultre are Official Sponsors; and, La Martina, Río Uruguay Seguros and Park Tower, Official Suppliers.

The total deposit made by account holders in Tanzanian commercial banks has been increasing yearly, thanks to initiatives by the government and private sector to make the sector more vibrant and lure more people to open accounts.
According to the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) Tanzanian residents' deposits with commercial banks have increased by almost 100 percent over the past four years.
The bank said in a statement released recently that over the period, Tanzanians' deposits with commercial banks have grown from USD1.6bn to USD2.3bn.
Tanzania has almost 45 banks and financial institutions in the country, most of them are in urban areas.
A Finscope Tanzania 2009 survey conducted by the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) shows that only 11 per cent of Tanzanians (4.7 million) have bank accounts.
However, financial institutions have been striving through mobile banking to attract more people to use their services.
According to the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) about 55 per cent of Tanzanians (23.97 million) voice subscriptions have access to mobile phones.
Statistics shows that 10 banks have started partnering with telecoms offering mobile banks by integrating mobile banking systems with banking platforms.
They are CRDB bank, National Bank of Commerce (NBC), National Microfinance Bank (NMB), Bank of Africa (BOA) Access Bank and Dar es Salaam Community Bank (DCB). Others are Efatha, Azania Bancorp, People's Bank of Zanzibar (PBZ), Tanzania Postal Bank and Citibank.
Meanwhile, BoT said gross official international reserves position have grown over time, increasing from USD2.7bn in February 2008, to USD3.6bn in January this year, which is approximately 4 months of import cover.
"The most current position, April 2012 remains almost the same. These reserves are held as an assurance in case our export earnings and net inflows are not sufficient to cover our import requirements," the bank said.
It is also worthwhile to note that, gross foreign reserves of commercial banks have increased from only USD780.1m in February 2008 to USD1.02bn in January 2012, implying that gross foreign reserves of the banking system in Tanzania have grown from USD3.5bn in February 2008 to about USD4.6bn in January 2012.
The bank pledged to take measures to ensure that reserves position is healthy, in line with monetary policy objectives and the need to preserve a good balance of payments position, the report said.

- "You've got nothing to fear from us, son. The Lords of Westeros want to burn the countryside; we're trying to save it."
- ―Thoros to Hot Pie
Thoros, commonly known as Thoros of Myr, is a recurring character in the third season. He is played by Paul Kaye. Thoros is a red priest of the Lord of Light and a noted warrior.
BackgroundThoros of Myr is a red priest of the Lord of Light from the Free City of Myr, in the continent of Essos. He was tasked by the High Priest to turn King Robert Baratheon away from the Seven and make him see that the Lord of Light is the one true god, a task at which he failed. This failure to convert King Robert and thus failing his mission lead him to become a drunk. Though a priest, he is also a noted warrior and fighter, famous for using a sword coated with wildfire which he sets ablaze before combat as a way of intimidating his enemies.
He fought for King Robert Baratheon in the Greyjoy Rebellion. He was one of the first men through the breach during the Siege of Pyke, stabbing and terrifying the ironborn with his flaming sword.[1]
Season 1
Jory Cassel and Jaime Lannister reminisce about the Siege of Pyke. Jory swears that he will remember Thoros charging through the breach with his blazing sword until his dying day.[1]
Season 3Thoros of Myr, along with Anguy and other members of the Brotherhood Without Banners, runs into Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie. Interested on how they managed to escape from Harrenhal, he convinces the children to come with them at a local inn.[2] Later, Sandor Clegane is captured by the Brotherhood, and he reveals the true identity of Arya to them. The Brotherhood tries to convict Sandor of crimes, because of his long service to the Lannisters, but know of no evil Sandor had personally done for them. Arya speaks up, and accuses him of killing her friend Mycah. He is sentenced to Trial by combat by Beric Dondarrion. After Clegane kills Beric during the fight, Thoros quickly calls upon the Lord of Light to revive Beric, repeatedly chanting "LORD cast your light upon this man, your servant. Bring him back from death and darkness. His flame has been extinguished, restore it!", and in a few short seconds, Beric is alive and breathing again, his wounds healed as well.[3]
Ser Jorah Mormont mentions the Siege of Pyke and Thoros's flaming sword when reminiscing about his knighthood with Ser Barristan Selmy.[4]
Some time later, the Brotherhood is found by Melisandre who is looking for a blood relative (Gendry) of Stannis Baratheon, in order to be able to create more Shadows. She is surprised to find Thoros among them, and berates him for giving up on his mission to convert King Robert to their religion. Thoros takes her to Beric, where she examines him and realizes that he has been brought back from death. When she asks Thoros how many times he brought him back, he responds with six. Stunned, she claims that he should not have that kind of power, to which he simply remarks that he has no power, he only asks the Lord for favors, and the Lord responds. Thoros then confesses how he had always had a large lack of faith in the Lord of Light, and never took his duties seriously because of them, until the day that Gregor Clegane killed Beric, his friend, and Thoros was called upon him to revive him. When he saw it worked, Thoros's faith was restored. Melisandre convinces Beric and Thoros to give her Gendry in exchange for gold, and because the Lord of Light requires him.[5]

Behind the scenes
Thoros was an unseen character in the first season. He was confirmed as a character in the third season in May 2012.[6] Paul Kaye was announced in the role in July 2012.[7] Asim Ahmad was originally going to play the role, but due to scheduling conflicts he had to back out of it. Ahmad will play a different, minor role in the series.[8]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Thoros is described as tall, fat, shaved bald, and wearing loose fitting red robes so faded that they appear pink. After some time spent in the Brotherhood, he becomes a loose-skinned, grey-haired man in faded robes and piecemeal armor. Thoros originally was sent to Westeros by his order to convert King Aerys II Targaryen to the faith of R'hllor, because of the King's obsession with fire. However, his efforts to preach his religion were in vain, and combined with the atrocities of Aerys' reign he came to question his own faith and grew despondent. Following Robert's Rebellion, Thoros became a regular hanger-on in the court of King Robert Baratheon, kept on in part due to his martial skills. King Robert was also fond of keeping around various interesting foreign visitors as drinking companions, so Thoros also stayed at court due to the good will he enjoyed with Robert.
During his time in King's Landing Thoros became a noted tourney champion, besting many skilled opponents with his flaming sword, such as Sandor Clegane, who is afraid of fire. Despite his many victories, and popularity with the King, Thoros earned the animosity of master blacksmith Tobho Mott, who regarded Thoros' habit of dousing his blades in wildfire - which subsequently wrecked the steel - as desecration of his work.
Thoros competes in the Tourney of the Hand, unseating Beric Dondarrion in the joust. The next day he wins the melee competition. Eddard Stark orders Thoros to accompany Lord Beric Dondarrion to arrest Ser Gregor Clegane for his raids in the Riverlands. Though Beric briefly appeared in the same scene in the TV series, Thoros was absent.

Fū (フウ, Fū) was a kunoichi from Takigakure and the most recent jinchūriki of Chōmei, the Seven-Tails. Chōmei has been captured and sealed by Akatsuki, causing her death when the beast was extracted. Upon her reincarnation, Chōmei was resealed within Fū.[2]
Akatsuki member Deidara indicated that Fū possibly despised humanity due to being neglected and hated by her village as a result of her status as a jinchūriki.[3] However, when seen with the other jinchūriki and tailed beasts, she appeared to be rather cheerful with a happy go-lucky and somewhat carefree individual; smiling as she recalled Son Gokū and Rōshi's final moments before being sealed.[4] She also uses 'ssu' (っす) at the end of her sentences — which is more commonly used by boys giving her somewhat of a tomboyish demeanour.
Fū wore an orange clip in her short, spiky mint green hair that matched her eye colour, which was also orange. Her ninja outfit consisted of a short sleeveless white midriff shirt with fishnet armour underneath, long white armlets, and fishnet shorts with a short white apron skirt over it. Her forehead protector was worn on her right arm. Fū also carried a cylindrical object in red wrapping on her back, the purpose of which is unknown.
Fū can exhale a sparkling substance from her mouth that shines so brightly that it blinds her targets, creating an opening for herself, or her allies to attack. After her reincarnation and serving as one of Tobi's Six Paths of Pain, Fū is seen with both the Sharingan and Rinnegan. Combining the perceptual and predictive abilities of the former with the shared field of vision ability of the latter, allowed Fū to use her attacks in a more precise and coordinated fashion as well as react to enemy attacks more efficiently, both individually and in conjunction and with the other jinchūriki.
Jinchūriki Transformations
Main article: Fū's Jinchūriki Forms
As Chōmei's jinchūriki, Fū is granted a significant amount of chakra and stamina from the beast. The full extent of her control is unknown, but she could form at least two of the beast's tails upon her reincarnation, which Fū used as wings to fly. She has been demonstrated to be very nimble whilst in flight, being capable of outmanoeuvring several of Killer B's attacks using Samehada and his other swords. When she was immobilised by B's clone she changes into her 'Version 2' form and attacks Naruto. She is able to bite her opponents in this mode.
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Fū was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces, before being mobilised alongside the other deceased jinchūriki.
As dawn broke on the second day of the war, it was revealed that Tobi had turned the reincarnated jinchūriki into his own customised Six Paths of Pain, with each having a Rinnegan and Sharingan in place of their left and right eyes respectively. Each jinchūriki also had their particular tailed beast resealed within them and a chakra receiver embedded into their body.
Fū later travelled together with Tobi, in pursuit of Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B. Encountering their targets, the reincarnated jinchūriki were sent into battle. After the enemy evaded Utakata's attack, Fū attempted to obscure their vision with her Hiden: Hiding in Scale Powder Technique, concealing Yugito Nii and Han's ambush. However, when this assault failed, she, like the others, unleashed the power of their respective tailed beast by materialising two of its tails.
Using these tails, which doubled as wings, she confronted B directly. Dodging his initial attacks with Samehada, Fū continued to narrowly evade both of B's swords, despite them being thrown from behind her. This feat was achieved thanks to her share field of vision with the other Six Paths of Pain and Tobi, due to the Rinnegan. Incapacitated in the wake of the Eight-Tails' devastating attack, after B's recent transformation, Fū was then restrained by the latter's sealing technique. However, before the sealing's completion, she manages to escape by adopting her Version 2 form, where she then proceeds to attack Naruto using her Bug Bite technique.
Regrouping with the other reincarnated jinchūriki, after Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy's intervention, Fū charges towards Naruto but is instead intercepted by Guy's powerful blow. Rallying once again, she along with the other jinchūriki prepare to confront the two Konohagakure jōnin, after Han's previous attack is thwarted by Kakashi. After Son Gokū is resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Fū is forced to enter her full Seven-Tails form, as Tobi prepares to go all-out. Unleashing a Tailed Beast Ball along with the others, the jinchūriki instead resort to a direct assault when these attacks are deflected by Naruto, only to then be repelled as the latter adopts his Tailed Beast Mode. In the resulting chaos, Fū was grabbed mid-flight by the Nine-Tails and sent plummeting to the ground, narrowly missing Isobu. With this, the rival beasts regroup and prepare a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball, launching it towards their opponents only for it to be diverted by an opposing one.
When Naruto attempted to remove the opposition's chakra receivers in the ensuing blast, Naruto entered the joint consciousness of the tailed beasts, where he met Fū along with the other jinchūriki and their respective beasts. During this encounter, she happily recounted Son Gokū and Rōshi's final moments, before introducing herself to Naruto alongside her beast, Chōmei. With the release of the Impure World Reincarnation, Fū and the others were enveloped in a light of sorts before their bodies started to deconstruct and her soul returned to the afterlife.

- Masashi Kishimoto initially stated that he wasn't completely sure yet about the gender of this jinchūriki. Based off the concept art of Fū in the recent Naruto 6: Road to Ninja, it would appear that Kishimoto has decided that Fū is a girl.
- Fū can mean "seal" (封) or "method", "style", or "wind" (風).
- 'Fū' is also the Japanese name for the Chinese sweetgum (楓, Liquidambar formosana).
- Fū is the only known jinchūriki that does not come from one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
- Fū was possibly one of the jinchūriki that were captured before Gaara.[3]
- Fū's skin colour is slightly darker in the anime than in the manga.

text: Interaction designers convene in Florence Technology 15 July 11 by Greg Williams Flickr.com / Conference Basics Few people need an excuse to spend time in Florence, so it speaks volumes for the organisers of Frontiers of Interaction, a two-day gathering focused on design and digital interaction, that they attracted a strong enough line-up to draw participants away from the glory of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore and the Uffizi. Other than a thought-controlled drone emerging through dry ice and -- this is Italy, after all -- an excellent lunch, the highlights enjoyed by a lively, engaged crowd included:Zdenek Kalal A former PhD student at the University of Surrey, Kalal's thesis culminated in Predator -- a self-improving real-time vision algorithm. Predator is able to estimate an object's location in a video sequence, registers changes in its scale -- and learns what the object looks like. It can then differentiate between the object and the content in the rest of the image. Using this information, Predator scans every frame, searching for the object; if it disappears, Predator will be able to recognise it when it returns. Kalal demonstrated by showing a video sequence of Predator 'learning' what a particular car looks like, and then following it as it moves through heavy motorway traffic.The algorithm's ability to track, learn and detect means that it has plenty going for it beyond a cool name. Industrial applications, such as human/computer interfaces are a possibility: disabled people could use Predator to control electronic devices using facial expressions or gestures. Another conceivable application is facial recognition -- security cameras could 'learn' to recognise individuals even when they leave a frame and return. Gaming companies will likely be interested too: one of Kalal's examiners was Andrew Fitzgibbon from Microsoft Research Cambridge, the principal researcher on Kinect.Laudably, Kalal has decided to open source the project: currently there are 1,000 people involved. Wired met with Kalal after his presentation, where he revealed that he was leaving the following day for Silicon Valley to meet with potential investors. One to watch.Lynn Teo Is Groupon really an exemplar of social shopping? This was the contention of Lynn Teo, the Creative Director and Head of User Experience at AKQA. Her belief is that Groupon, while collaborative, isn't truly social as the site doesn't require interaction between consumers.True social commerce is about bringing shopping to where people connect and connecting people who shop, Teo argued, and shared some insights from recent research she has conducted into what social shopping best practice looks like.Consumers are looking for fun when they're shopping for clothes, and ecommerce sites should strive to prolong that experience by giving consumers a reason to hang around. Teo cited Polyvore, a fashion etailer, as an example of a company that offers customers ways of interacting through pulling looks together and creating moodboards that can be shared socially.Users also looking for a sense of belonging -- people buying fashion online want to find others who share their taste. Polyvore locates others who have similar style, creating a secondary storefront where users effectively hang out and interact. And, just as in the real world where people visit stores to relax, many people shop online for stress-relief; acknowledging this, French Connection launched a YouTube channel that integrates a shopping experience with video. YouTube's annotation feature allows viewers of the video, which features a stylist offering fashion tips, to click through to a product page to make a purchase. The core element to driving sales is content generation: etailers must build compelling, immersive ways, to engage customers and allow them to personalise, post and create. And users should be offered incentives if they make relevant contributions; for instance, if they post a link and a friend clicks through and makes a purchase then there. As with so much of the web, successful social commerce will rely on quality, trustworthy information and ways of engaging users beyond browsing.

The women's singles provided two of the biggest upsets of the day, the biggest of which was third seed Anna Rice falling to the unseeded Wang Linling. The match was very up and down with Wang winning in three games 21-15, 6-21. 21-9. The other big surprise in the women's singles was the defeat of Christina Aicardi from Peru to Canadian Denyse Julien. The 49 year old proved once again that she is not to be underestimated as she won in three long games 21-14, 21-23, 21-18. The two big matches to watch tomorrow will likely be Nicole Grether from Germany taking on Japan's Oka Hitomi, and Michelle Li from Canada taking on Jeanine Cicognini from Switzerland.
The men's singles lacked any major upsets in spite of Dan Kai from Canada easily defeating USA's Nicholas Jinadasa, and Ikeda Yuichi of Japan's similarly easy win over Canada's Alex Pang. Both were upsets on paper, but there was no doubt who the stronger players were in those matches today. Other than Dan Kai Canada has two other hopefuls remaining at the quarter-final stage with Stephan Wojcikiewicz winning over Timothy Ma, and David Snider pulling out a great performance against Malaysia's Lee Hock Lai winning 21-17, 14-21, 21-18. They will now meet Daniel Paiola and Kristian Midtgaard respectively.
The only doubles event to take to the courts today was the men's doubles event as both the womens doubles and mixed doubles events will be starting their first rounds tomorrow. There were a handful of close matches, perhaps the most surprising of which was recent Canadian national champions Jon Vandervet and Alvin Lau narrowly escaping defeat against the pick-up pair of Daniel Pastewka and Tommy McKee. After splitting the first two games Lau and Vandervet trailed by ten points in the final game, but managed to comeback and take the match 18-21, 21-11, 23-21.
Tomorrow will feature some more exciting matches and we can expect some more seeds to start falling so check back in for more results soon.

Attached is the 2014 TriOKC Race Calendar. We're going to call these dates 99.9% FIRM. As we learned in 2013, Mother Nature sometimes is just going to have her way & make us change things up. However, please feel free to go ahead & plan around this schedule. Links to race registrations are also provided. All races are currently turned in for USAT Sanctioning. So, as USAT approves them, we'll activate the link. Something to note for 2014, which we're quite proud of: TriOKC will be hosting the USAT Aquathlon National Championship at Lake El Reno in October. It's not everyday that a club gets this honor. Many times, the NC's go to promotion groups instead. So, if you bump into Steve "Buzz" Bussjaeger, please extend a BIG "Thank You" his way for going to bat for us & getting TriOKC this designation.
