Attempting to clear up some misconceptions about the Databook

[Byakusharinnegan]

Everybody loves to say that since the databook has been proven wrong on several occasions, mostly with the stats, that it should 'not be taken seriously'.

I think, personally, this is ridiculous.

Just because Kishi changed some things over the course of the series DOES NOT mean that his word doesn't count over yours.

My opinion is everything in the databook stands until proven false. People love to talk about 'source' material; you don't get closer to the source than what the author actually says.

Wouldn't that make more sense than believing, 'Oh, just because Kakuzu had 4 in speed and Kakashi had 4.5, and Kakuzu blitzed him means we should forgo the entire databook'?

Do you agree or not?

Read the databook description about Yata Mirror.

Read the databook description about Kamui.

Complete contradiction and the databook is pretty outdated.

You are only using the "source" to agree with your argument and not theirs.

 

[Zebstrika]

What Kishi thinks now > What Kishi thought years ago > all internet opinions.

 

[The Necromancer]

As you said, the databook is law until proven false.

I see what you're saying, it makes no sense to disregard EVERYTHING because some stuff was wrong. Until proven wrong or contradicted by Kishi himself, what is said should stand/

We shouldn't fully disconsider the databook, but we shouldn't believe blindly in it. It's been proved that there mistakes in it that contradicted events in the manga. Manga>databook, always.
So, as there were mistakes, we should read it more carefully. We should check if thing there really fit in naruto's logic. What

I mean is, we should actually think by ourselves an make an analysis of what the databook said and compare it to the events in the manga, then we can get to a conclusion that might be closer to the reality of the manga.

So, we shouldn't just act like: "oh, it's in the databook, ultimate truth". See it, read it, analyse it, then achieve a conclusion.

Oh, and when I say analyse, I say: get what is the databook, compare to the events in the manga associated to the logic of the naruto verse, and see if fits. Analysing DOESN'T mean stick your opinion in the middle of it to change it according to what fits your idea.

Read the databook description about Yata Mirror.

Read the databook description about Kamui.

oudated doesnt means false naruto part 1 is outdated are you saying we should just toss out the first series ? just because of one paradox?

ever heard of hyperbole ?

databook sucks...character`s speed and power cant be put into those numbers.for instance lets say kakashi has speed 4,5......then minato should have 10 not 5......lol

ever heard of hyperbole ?

Yeah, it was a hyperbole. That's why we shouldn't instantly take what is in the databook as ultimate truth.

This man right here.. knows what his saying!

preach!!

 

[Punk Hazard]

But there are things that are impossible to be hyperbole, such as Susano'o requiring Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi.

So you're the famous Prince Charles. Huh.

No, unfortunately he doesn't know what he's talking about. Just because you did exceptionally well on an essay, including every single detail in a clean way, doesn't mean you're going to get a thousand on a 1 to 100 scale.

And others might be a hyperbole or even a mistake. Read my post, the first one. Let's just user our brains to think a little bit to see if a statement fits the events and the logic of the manga before saying it's the truth.

The reason it's still 5 even though it should be multiple times that of Kakashi, the max number is 5. Think of it like a computer program that records numbers, but the max number capable of being put in the computer is 5. Eve nif you are higher than 5, it'll be, by default, a five because it doesn't go higher than that.

And has there been anything to debunk statements like Susano'o needs Ama and Tsuki.

 

[slaton02]

Databook has to much BS that was proven wrong.

but it doesnt make it false either. the manga as contradict it self far to many time not everything utter from a character mouth is fact have the time they're just either arrogant or ignorant.
