Do you believe and trust the Databook? Poll

[Hyuga Prodigy]

I'm all 50/50 in this one

 

[Xāvî1]

I only trust Nagato part!

 

[Seventh Sama]

It has great info on Jutsu's n such but the hype in it shouldn't be taken as fact.

 

[Bantos]

No because manga -> databook.

Databook is all just hype in my eyes.

Manga = You get to see more information about the characters and/or techniques.

Databook = Information about characters and techniques. :|

 

[V h o]

No. If it's not in the manga or in the timeline of the manga then I don't need a picture book to detail something that should've been explained in the manga. If I accept the databook I would have to accept all DB pages and translations....

 

[awesomeseimei]

I appreciate it having details like character's birthdays and ages, but I don't care about the hype.

What I do not appreciate is that the timeline is a mess.

 

[~Ethereal~]

I only agree with the databook, if the manga proves it. I mean, seriously Deidara got 4.5 in SPEED?? SERIOUSLY???

This also.

Deidara is quite fast while on his clay bird, he and Onoki totally smoked Akatsuchi, who also noted how fast they are and that he can't keep up.

I know that, but honestly I was thinking foot speed.

 

[Benjamin King]

Databook and manga are both written by Kishimoto. So both of them are as legitimate as the other. What people don't understand about the databook is that, it gives description of the Jutsu and exaggerate it. The description is correct, but the the exaggeration is not; that's what people need to understand.

The manga has also contradicted itself multiple times, just like the databook. Yata and Totsuka make Itachi invincible, Chidori can pierce through everything, Sasuke's speed is godlike, etc.

Both sources are equally legit.

 

[FemmeFatale]

With my characters yes, it proves their hype. And their power is always left unexplained

Translation: Hiruzen earned the title of professor for being a researcher. He was trained by both Hashirama and Tobirama, as the man that would succeed them. At a young age he showed greater talent than Tobirama. All five nature alterations, Hidden, Genjutsu, all ninjutsu existing in Konoha which explains his reputation as the professor. Hence the essence of Hiruzen is his talent with ninjutsu. Everyone in the village is his family member


He knows all techniques in Konoha. Three databooks cant be wrong

VIZ PROOF.

"The sandaime, in particular, was a genius nicknamed the 'Professor,' and was called the strongest of all the Hokage".

the Sandaime was the strongest.

Databook 1, Page 117

The "Professor" revered as the strongest Hokage in history.

Databook 1, Page 119

"History's Strongest", "Genius", etc., there are many words that describe the Sandaime Hokage.

DB2 Pg 84
Konohamaru paragraph:

Konohamaru, descended from Sandaime, who was praised as history’s strongest Hokage.

"Hiruzen in his Prime was able to counter every Leaf Jutsu in Existance including all MS and EMS skills." DB2 Pg 84

Konohamaru paragraph:

Konohamaru, descended from Sandaime, who was praised as history’s strongest Hokage.

He who even holds the affectionate name of "Professor," being well-versed in every jutsu that exists in the village of Konohagakure

You can't use it as a proof in a discussion. I am sure about that much. It would help u to improve your knowledge on manga.
