What's the difference between Enton and Amaterasu?

[Hidari]

I've seen a lot of users make a distinction between the two. Could anybody explain the difference in a bit more depth so that I get why such a distinction has been made in the first place?

 

[Draphsin]

Put in the simplest of terms.

Enton is the mangekyou ability to manipulate amaterasu at will.

 

[Matt]

Enton is full control over the black flames where without it amaterasu cannot be controlled

 

[the entire forum]

enton - nature element/blaze release

amateratsu - some sort of space time jutsu which uses enton element

kagutsuchi - enton manipulation/control jutsu

 

[Tobi98]

Enton is controlling and creating the black flames like any other element, Amateratsu is setting what you're looking at on black fire

 

[Frikid]

Amaterasu is casted from the eye, it can be spawned anywhere as long as it is in the user's vision.

Enton,Creates amaterasu from different parts of his body, such as hand.
It does not require the need for eye to cast amaterasu, he produces it.
Whether he can create enton after being blind is questionable but enton definitely does not require any eye power. At least, for EMS Sasuke and his later versions.

It is kinda parallel to how itachi could use genjutsu from his fingers.

enton - nature element/blaze release

amateratsu - some sort of space time jutsu which uses enton element

kagutsuchi - enton manipulation/control jutsu

don't answer an honest question unless you really know the answer.

amaterasu isn't space time. It's a projectile and I can prove it.

enton "blaze release" is an ability to control the flame

kagutsuchi is the flame sword/arrow attack sasuke makes with amaterasu

 

[Worm]

Amaterasu is a jutsu where the user channels Katon through their eyes and casts the black flames.

By channeling Enton, another nature release, through the eyes, the user can instigate the Mangekyo technique Kagutsuchi, which allows the user to manipulate Amaterasu by changing its shape or extinguishing it.

Thanks everyone! This cements what I thought was true.

amaterasu attacks it rage but still at where the users sees the area. enton controls it. enton can even manipulate the shape of the black flames

Made a thread about this the other day.

[Itachi Senpai98]

Amaterasu is the black flames themselves that can be cast by a Mangekyou Sharingan user, whereas Enton is the ability to control the flames at will, changing its shape, location, target or completely erasing it
