[Theory] The Bijuu will Obtain Humanoid Forms

[adeshina365]

The Rikudo Sennin mentioned that the nine Bijuu would always be together, even when they were separated, and that one day they would all become one:

This statement made by the Sage has been interpreted as being an indication that the nine Bijuu would unite to become 'good' Juubi; I'm of the belief that this isn't the case at all.

My belief stems from the statement made by the Rikudo Sennin in the next panel:

The Sage mentions that the nine Bijuu will have different forms than the ones that they ones that they currently exit in (as well as having different names). The fact that the plural of form is stated makes the idea of them becoming a 'good' Juubi unlikely. It can be deduced that this doesn't refer to their adult forms because the Sage couples the statement of them having different forms with them having different forms, and he mentions their current names in the previous page.

Now the question will be asked of where my belief in them obtaining humanoid forms stems from; while there is no definitive evidence, I believe that certain clues (and deductions) have been left behind which suggest this.

In Naruto chapter 660, a flashback is seen of Shukaku with his previous priest host:

The priest makes says that "There is no point in making a distinction between a human and a beast". While it is true that the priest meant this statement as a way of saying that only the heart of a being counts; I believe that Kishimoto might have left that statement as a means of foreshadowing future events.

We have seen that the likes of Sasuke don't consider on the same standing as regular humans:

The same theme of ignorance can be seen throughout all generations of Shinobi. The Bijuu have not been treated in a manner equivalent to how the average human would be treated. I believe that this simply isn't a fact of how powerful the Bijuu are, but also a result of there physical appearance. Most Shinobi will find it difficult to believe that beasts with such appearances exhibit the same emotions as humans. This is a natural response that can't Shinobi cannot be blamed for.

Some of these sentiments are expressed by Son Goku:

While there obviously isn't any definitive evidence to support this theory. I believe that the forms that the Sage spoke of were humanoid forms. These forms would allow the Bijuu to integrate into Shinobi society and would allow humans to actually see that the Bijuu are more than mindless beast.

 

[Sir Blades]

That would be weird. But a very "outside the box" theory.

 

[Joon]

....They will live happily ever after and finally, Naruto and Sasukw will fight in peace. Yes, I see that happening.

 

[Seventh Sama]

I doubt it, Shinobi would still used them as power. it'd just make the bijuu more easy to capture... but not a bad idea

 

[Senju Bean]

They would be so powerful. All that energy confined in a human sized body.

I came up with this theory about a month or so ago, but its nice to find some like minded members with similar ideas

Didn't see your thread before.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

They will be crossing the Bishōnen Line then.

Hey I like it like me you think outside the box. I can see them being sages who teach the natures of chakra this would be awesome.plus rep

 

[Byron123]

That's an interesting idea.

A large part of this theory hinges on the word "forms" being in the plural. In Japanese there is no such thing as plural nouns. The same word is used for singular and for plural (pronouns can be indicated as plural with the right suffixes). Number is usually derived from context. The context in this case is missing, which is fine because ambiguity is probably the intention, but in English numbers are indicated by the nouns and the translator had no choice but to make a guess. You really do have to look at the text in the original language if the specific wording is truly important.

The same thing happened when Sasuke said he was going to see The One Who Knows Everything, which turned out to be a group of people. The word is the same for "people" and for "person."

Have you noticed how Kurama laid on his belly or sat like a dog for most of the series while sitting in his cage, but after being tamed he sits with a more humanlike posture? He crosses his legs and straightens his back. He puts his palms together to mold chakra and gestures while talking. He rests his head in his palm when being lazy. I can't really say the same for all of the other tailed beasts though.

It would be normal for asian stuff to make that happen..

In the movie (i didn't read the actual story) journey to the west: conquering the demons the main character makes the demons good and eventually the demons he caught in the movie were his partners as humans while looking for other demons to conquer..
This is also the story were sun wukong, or in japanese Son Goku comes from.. sun wukong is the strongest demon the last one in the movie.

Awesome chinese movie by the way.. must watch.

You could also say that naruto brought the bijuu more to a human consciousness. Or to a understanding or whatever. and therefor they can obtain that form or something.
