Talk:Yachiru Kusajishi

Shunpo level
In the Hohō page she is listed as a practitioner of Shunpo, but there is nothing about it in her page (not to mention a reference). Can anybody point me toward where this info came from? WD  Talk to me  23:53, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

I don't recall ever seeing her use Shunpo. I know she is shown to be a fast runner but I don't think she has ever displayed any knowldge of shunpo--God (Pray)  23:55, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

She never uses it in the manga as far as I recall, but she did use it in the Zanpakutō arc (playing with Ashisogi Jizō). I'm not entirely sure what the policy of the wiki is in these situations. I know manga trumps anime but according to a debate I had with Tinni the anime is a secondary source in case there is no official declaration on the matter in manga/character books.

I quote from the anime policy, ''Filler Arcs: Filler information are not considered canon due to inaccuracies in story timeline as well as characters only used once and rarely mentioned again amongst other inaccuracies and situations. There are exceptions to this rule, when there are cases that the information presented does not conflict with what is established in the manga, nor relies on story timeline to be accurate in canon material (such as powers and abilities) it can be placed in the articles. (i.e. Yumichika, Yoruichi, Ukitake, Matsumoto, Hitsugaya using Kidō, as there is nothing in canon that says they can't or causes conflict and in fact it more supports the notion that they can given their established abilities or backgrounds).'' No one ever said Yachiru can't use Shunpo, therefore, the filler does not contradict manga. Moreover, it's not just the Zanpakuto Unknown tales arc that she uses shunpo but she has also used shunpo in omakes during the Heuco Mundo Arc. Shunpo is a basic skill and one that, as demonstrated by Ichigo, doesn't require special training. Therefore, we will accept Yachiru's clear and frequent use of Shunpo in the anime as evidence that she can use shunpo. Tinni  (Talk)  22:08, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
