Talk:Kidō

Soifon's new spell
Anybody knows a plausible translation? And by the way, "shtotsu" seems fishy to mee, because as far as I know, unless it is an "n", in Japanese there are no 2 consonants following each other, there has to be an "u" between, or some kind of mistyping. Domlith 14:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Dekoshu 14:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC) Sounds fishy to me too.


 * The attack is "Shitotsu Sansen" according to the raw, so I added the transliteration and kanji. According to my sources, the best translation I can come up with so far is "Beak Thrust Triple Flash" but I know that's probably wrong. -StrangerAtaru 16:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Bakudo #81: Danku
Danku is NOT a forbidden spell. This was a MISTRANSLATION. Stop changing it back.

Kido names
Since in the English version there is no fix way of naming these attacks, (i.e. Bakudo #1 is refer as Sai, Hado #33 Pale fire crash down, and Hado #31 Shot of red fire Shakuho) I propose we leave the names in theyr original japanese format and then add the Kanji and then the literal translation and the English translation if it is different.

Bakudo #73: translation needed
Does anybody know a reasonable translation for this spell? Domlith 11:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Sub vs Dub vs Manga
I'm seeing different translations in both Kido names and Incantations, which one is the 'right' one? The most widely accepted? Balmung6 22:54, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Bakudo #9 and Hado #31: source needed
Anybody knows the first appearances of these two spells? Hado #31 is used very frequently, but I can't remember when does it appear first? Almost all spells are sourced now, it would be good to also reference these. 17:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Bakudo #9 was first used by Rukia during the fight with Grand Fisher, and I'm not sure if Rukia used it first or if it was during the flashback of Kira, Momo and Renji. WhiteStrike 22:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You're right with hado#31, Hinamori uses it in the flashback with the incantation. As for bakudo#9, Rukia recites the incantation during the fight but does not number the spell. Domlith 17:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I belive that the first time hado#31 was used by rukia kuchiki in the human world after she lost her powers. If memory severs, she drew some kanji into the air and after that fired the kidou --Cyberflame 21:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Healing Kido
Under what category would healing kido be under. its obviously an important art so why does it get so little recognition. Is it separate and does it have levels of power like Hado and Bakudo. I get the feeling we should know more about this art and yet we know little. Salubri 20:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

88. Hiryugekizokushintenraiho
Does anybody know who preforms this technique? There's a picture, but with no name, and I can't recognize the person who's doing it. If you know, would you please make an edit. It would be greatly appreciated. Malzzel 9:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

The new tables
Thank you to whoever added the tables to this page. It looks so much better now. ShotandBotched 00:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Uncategorized number 12.
In episode 224, Matsumoto calls it by a different name, could someone please look into it. --Gojita 14:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)Gojita

Yeah that's right Rangiku called it "Concealing fire" it was laid out as a net, and it also didn't cause any damage until used in conjunction with "shot of red fire" or "Tobiume" otherwise it could be categorized as Binding.--SalmanH 16:05, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok I looked up and this is gonna be a problem. in the anime its #12. Concealing fire. In the manga its apparently the equivalent of #20. Fushibi (prostrated flame). In this case i would obviously give precedence to the manga, Kubo wrote it as #20. Fushibi, i guess they both mean the same thing as far as spell names the only difference is the number. Seeing as Kubo wrote the manga his version carries more weight.Salubri 16:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Where did #20 come from? In my translation, Matsumoto says it's #12, Fushibi. Hinamori doesn't dispute that. Kamikage 21:13, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Well this is even more of an issue because i have 2 manga translation with 12 and 2 manga translation with 20. Someone needs to check these raws. Salubri 21:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

"I have a copy of volume 39 and it clealy states 12 on it. WhiteStrike 21:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Byakuya vs Zomari
In the Byakuya vs Zomari fight, Byakuya uses "Way of the Onmitsu 3rd of the "Shihou" Utsusemi Cicada" in the translated manga (chapter 299) or in the subed anime (ep. 196) he says "Shihou Black Ops Step Technique 3: Molting Cicada" could this be considered a form of kido made by the Royal family of Yoruichi Shihōin?

It would be a Hohō technique. It's just another Shunpo technique, like Senka. Kamikage 01:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

What happens when a hollow gets killies by kido
So to answer my question what dose happen dose it get purified or dose it die completly like how a Quincy kills a hollow? Because they never explan how kido effects hollows.

Its assume they aslo purify a Hollow otherwise Kido would be forribidden.Saimaroimaru 16:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Combined Incantations
My memory escapes me, but I believe that when Rukia fought Aaroniero, she intertwined two incantations instead of saying them one after the other. If this is indeed correct, should the ability to do so be mentioned in the article? Mohrpheus 04:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

what she did was a double incantation. She did say the first part of the incantation to double of blue fire crashdown and mixed in the bakudo spell in the middle and then finished with the rest of blue fire crashdown. What it looks like is that it saved her time instead of doing two incarnations one after the other, which makes since in order to use it against an opponent it would be the only way in which to effectively fight using kido. It probably can be mentioned.Salubri 05:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Gifts
adding gifts makes the page difficult to view for some of us with not so good or old computers. Over adding gifts to one site can make it almoust completly impossible. Most of theese gifts are not even better than the image and only add a lot of unesecary screens. Could somone please take this into consideration whent the page is unlocked. --Gojita 13:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)Gojita

I really don't have a problem with them my computer runs fine. Also they are actually far better detailed then what was up there sometimes the vids are just better. While it is true that over adding can slow up the loading as i said before my computer doesnt have that problem. Im guessing that most people on these editing sites would have good computers otherwise they could never edit anything. I don't really think the site can accommodate one person because of them having a old or bad computer. Unless its a big issue that others complain about as well.Cascader 13:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow i haven't been on in a minute but the kido page looks awesome. The funny thing is i rarely ever see vids of any specific thing online and someone actually found all these wow. Maybe im looking in the wrong place, these show so much more, which is surprising cause i couldn't even remember some of these fights happening where these spells were used now i gotta go back and watch the episodes to see how they came about good job. Oh umm mine works fine to if that matters.TeamBleach2 13:54, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This page does indeed have an excessive use of GIF's. I know that alot of people like GIF images (personally I don't like them to much), but there is something as to much of good thing> I propos gong back to the regular images that we had before and save the GIF's for the spells that have their own page. As we previously disuss on the Forums we can make a page for each individual spell be ot Hado, Bakudo or other.WhiteStrike 16:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

New Edits
The recent edits that have been made to the beginning of the article contain relatively accurate information, but the extent to which it is explained is purely speculative. For example, the paragraph which cites the difficulty of using kidou in a battle. The fact that such a vast number of characters have done so undermines the information in that section. More clean up should be applied to the areas of the article in question. Mohrpheus 18:47, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Not at all. kido is difficult to use in a battle otherwise everyone would use it all the time to end the battle instead of using swordsmanship. It requires considerable skill and training and spiritual energy. All the information for it is on the articles. It is far easier for experts and masters to use it in battle then someone who is below that level. It is already stated that its used quite effectively in battle. Then the section goes on to explain why its effectively used, there is proof of that much in the series. It really doesn't undermine any of the characters that we have seen, we also cannot speak on lower level practitioners using lower level spells, as they havent been seen as well as its speculation. We can only talk about what is known. So far logically speaking if someone is aware of a kido spell they can counter or dodge it. Also in most instance the opponent doesn't know the caster is gonna use the spell and is completely caught off guard do to the steps stated such as (byakuya and ichigo, byakuya and renji, rukia and aaroniero, momo and harribel's faccion, soifon and gigio, hisagi and findar, aizen and komamura). The only occasions of characters not well versed are in the cases of renji and omaeda which explains why theirs failed as they are not good with kido. As far as using the spell without incantation. Rukia wouldnt be able to get the desired effect of what she was gonna do if aaroneiro saw it coming he realized to late that she was using a double incantation. In other cases its faster to use a spell with no incantation; that surprise element mixed with quick action. Just recently momo mixed destructive and binding spells, which rangiku commented that she was talented. So what part is speculative.Salubri 19:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps "purely speculative" was an overkill observation. My point is that nothing has ever been said about kidou being particularly difficult to use in combat. As far as difficulty goes, that is why the lower spells exist - the article itself states that spells with lower levels are easier to perform. The speculation that I am referencing is that it is "only practical for those of expert skill to practice it in a battle." Nothing of the sort has ever been said in the series. Certain skills involving kidou, such as Eishohaki and Double Incantation have been identified as particularly advanced techniques, but the use of kidou itself has not. Its use is one of the basic skills taught in the shinigami academy - shinigami are trained to to use it against ordinary hollows (sans Menos and Arrancar). Besides, your logic works for any form of shinigami combat - if you see it coming, of course it is going to be much easier to counter, and any attack that is launched by surprise is more certain to work. Mohrpheus 19:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok then maybe saying its difficult for anyone is not the right wording the point of the section was just to talk about its combat usage not to dwell on who can't use it. Though even though its taught at the academy doesn't mean a user will be good with it. But the point on lower level spells is valid. In any case the wording for difficult for anyone not a master or expert is badly worded.Salubri 20:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Hanki Sosai
Just another thing that I noticed while going through the page again. The article infers that Hanki Sosai is in direct relation to Shunko. However, Soifon was the one that had identified the technique when Yoruichi used it. Considering that Soifon had not yet completed Shunko, let alone name it, I don't see how she could recognize Hanki Sosai if it were an extension of it. What I am basically saying is that I think that it is its own individual technique. Mohrpheus 15:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
