Hachi's new Kido
Should we put in trivia than Hachi's new barrier techniques (Ryubi no Jōmon, Koko no Jōmon, Kikai no Jōmon and Hoyoku no Jōmon) are based on "The Four Symbols" (四象) from Chinese mythology? Those symbols (creatures) are: Geohound 08:53, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Azure Dragon of the East (青龍) -- The Gate of Dragon Tail
 * Vermillion Bird of the South (朱雀) -- The Gate of Phoenix Wings
 * White Tiger of the West (白虎) -- The Gate of Tiger Fang
 * Black Tortoise of the North (玄武) -- The Gate of Turtle Shell

Honestly, I see no reason why not. It's been known that those spells are blatant references to those symbols, and articles such as Love's have trivia relating to mythology. However, mythological references tend to be considered junk trivia, since they can be open to interpretation and speculation. One example being a former trivia point that pointed out that Mayuri's Zanpakuto was based on a Buddhist entity. So there is some inconsistency. Mohrpheus 16:46, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hadou 73: Souren Soukatsui
Since Hadou 73: Souren Soukatsui has had it's number officially changed, the only kidou sharing numbers are Bakudou 9: Geki and Hourin. Since Hourin is non-canon (it has appeared only in an Anime filler episode), should it be moved to an Anime-only section, with the reference to there being multiple spells of each level removed from Mechanics as speculation? There's really no canon evidence to support it now, that I recall. Silvercrys3467 (talk) 15:37, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Well, technically both Geki and Hourin are uncanon; Rukia never actually used the spell on Grand Fisher in the manga (unless its effect was revealed in a databook). I doubt that removing them is really necessary, so long as they are referenced to be anime-only. Same goes for the statement that two spells can share the same number. Mohrpheus (talk) 18:19, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Mohrpheus is correct, as Rukia was never given the chance to trigger Bakudo #9 in the manga. Besides, either way, doing an "anime-only" section is out of the question. It would add needless clutter to the article, and it is already lengthy as it is. Besides, with references being a requirement for all spells, we can easily distinguish which ones are manga-canon and which ones are not. Arrancar109 (Talk)  23:10, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hakufuku
I have an issue regarding Hakufuku (White Crawl). The first databook (SOULS) calls Hakufuku a binding spell, as stated in the article, but we still have it down as uncategorised. The nature of its use against Matsumoto by Gin also suggests binding rather than destruction as she wasn't injured, rather had her spiritual pressure negated and herself knocked out (Scans have been out for almost 48 hours on Mangareader now-- not a spoiler. Any comments on this? --Gold (talk) 15:22, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Its simple, take a look at the bakkudo section, notice something that all those spells have that Hakufuku does not? It has no number so it remains uncategorized --God (Pray)  15:24, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion
I think this page should get the practitioners, experts, and masters listed on it too, like the Zanjutsu, Hakuda, and Hohō pages. I not sure who's idea it was to do those pages like that. But, they look very nice, and this page is the only one that doesn't list the users like the other ones do (not even without the pictures). I think it would be a nice addition to this page. Ltjuno (talk) 06:56, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

I think we've been through this. And if we haven't, then I still must voice my objection to including it, given how large the page is already; it might very well cause more clutter to this page, since it has every Kido technique, Kido-related technique, and Kido-related devices displayed on the page itself so far. Arrancar109 (Talk)  07:13, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

I don't see were we "have" been through on the talk page, that is why I suggested it. If has been put somewhere before then I apologize. But, the size that new picture method takes up isn't that big. But, that is why this is a suggestion and not demand. I wanted to hear a few other opinions on it. Ltjuno (talk) 07:35, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

This has been argued before and just recently too. It was decided to not do it--God (Pray)  12:05, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

When I did the Kido page it was for a semblance of order and to the most important thing was to highlight the various kido Spells. While the zanjutsu, hakuda and hoho pages are techniques as well we virtually know very little about the techniques used. Due to this i had made simple listings of the various partitioner levels in order to flesh the pages out, because otherwise they would be small stub like articles. Eventually I decided to upgrade the kido page to its current state. Then I recently decided to upgrade the zanjutsu, hakuda and hoho pages to their current look. Despite that this conversation has in fact held at least twice before if I can recall and we were adamant about not extending the same concept on to the Kido page as its not required as per the original reason of adding to the other pages. --Salubri (Talk)  13:36, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
