After this latest manga, i think its safe to say that Dan's Ghost Release is Op

as chouza states " its a jutsu with which you can become a living spirit, so you can go over a certain distance to approach and kill your enemy"

and if im thinking about this correctly the implications for this are staggering,
if my understanding is correct there is no technique explicitly for sensing of a spirit or its presence, therefore with no way to see this technique coming and no way to defend against it , it may turn out to be one of the most OP jutsu's out of konoha

especially considering just how the living spirit interacts with the body its targeting, for all intensive purposes, it seems like Dan could take control over ones body who he is targeting and use that body for his own purposes, i.e espionage , covert op's, what have you

now it could be argued that all dan did was give tsunade chakra and let her dodge madara's assault herself, but then what would be the point of the ghost release if it would allow you into anothers body without the ability to manipulate that body. And if this idea of Manipulation is in fact correct, then Dan as the invading presence would have to suppress the invaded body's consciousness , and that implies to me that the characteristics of ghost release run very parallel to the yamanaka's mind/body switch techniques, with a far greater range and diminished risk to the user by attacking from long distances .

thoughts on the new revelations of ghost release? and dans origins?

edit: it also seems to carry some sort of sensing ability judging by how quickly dan was able to find tsunade on the battle feild

Ghost release is a fuinnjutsu i guess. that basically enables you to attack directly without being attacked. a killer jutsu!!

i honestly think hes from the yamanaka clan now based on how this technique seems to work, but it begs to question that why this bloodline limit is no longer present in the clan if hes from the clan which im leaning toward saying yes

could it mean ino may be getting a power up soon? kishi is a sneaky devil xd

what makes you say that? it doesnt appear yo have any sealing properties , and as a spirit i dont think he can interact directly with the physical world so it makes sense that he has to inhabit anothers body in that form to essentially do damage to the surroundings

i honestly when edo was released i thought kishi was just bringing dan back to re-troll him into obscurity :ghehe:

but its good to know more secondary characters are getting developed :D

why can i not say that. if it were not a fuinnjutsu then more shinobi would have used that jutsu especially from the yamanaka clan. As for the last part, i guess you are right its more of a more refined version of body possession technique.

I'm happy now that Dan is out of the way. He showed his ghost technique and got closure with Tsuande, the best part is that it didn't take long.

Well, yeah. Jutsus that force you to sacrifice your life SHOULD be strong...

Anyways, this kind of jutsu is similar to the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique - this is probably a forbidden version. Also, Dan apologizes to Chouza. This implies that Dan had a personal relationship with Chouza: the Ino-Shika-Cho comes through again. So it's safe to say his full name is Yamanaka Dan.

do you mean kinjutsu?, forbidden techs? fuinjutsu are simply techs used for sealing, and this jutsu hasnt expressed, at least to me, that it has the capacity to seal anything other than the doom of anyone its used against from long range :)

and yea, im going to re-read the manga and look again at the mentions of dan to see if there any hints that he may in fact be related to yamanaka

and what part of this jutsu seems sacrificial to you? dan stated he used it countless times to kill people, so what makes you think hes sacrificing himself by using it? im sure the jutsu has weaknesses and if you use it enough your enemies will eventually exploit them, but thats inherent in all jutsu.

and if dan was apart of an ino-shika-cho formation, im inclined to think it was with a different set of people, because inos father/ chouza/ shikaku have made references to their group at a young age i believe, and keep in mind dan is around tsunade's age, and tsunade is probably older than the three past ino-shika-cho we know, to the point where dan being on one of their units would be unlikely

lol dan was never in the way xd kishi just threw him a bone at the last possible moment :lmao:

My bad. I interpreted Dan's description wrong.

You're right. Dan and Chouza have an age gap, but it's not too huge. Considering that Naruto is the same age as Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji, it's probable that the parents, Minato and Chouza, are closely aged. Minato was Jiraiya's student. Since Jiraiya is as old as Tsunade, he's probably close to Dan as well. So that means the age gap of Dan and Chouza could be similar to the age gap between the traditional sensei and student bond (besides Naruto and Jiraiya)

Also, remember that Dan told Chouza that "[he's] gotten fatter" when they first encountered each other; implying even more that there's some kind of bond between the two.

It's just speculation. Chouza MIGHT be Dan's student, which also means Dan taught Ino-Shika-Cho. But like I said, it's just speculation.

@bold agreed

i also think its possible dan might have served as the respective "asuma" for chouza's ina-shika-cho , it would be poetic in a way how various generations of konoha would have to meet their masters on the battle feild, and also kakuzus comment about dan and asuma seemed intriguing as well, that they were the gold and silver of the hidden leaf if im not mistaken, speculation of course, but maybe he was hinting at the similarities left behind in their legacies, mainly their pupils
