<facepalm> Tenten isn't fodder... You know her name so she can't really be fodder can she? thousands of ninja's from the allied shinobi force are fodder because (a) you don't know who they are and you don't know anything about hem (b) if 1 of them weren't there the story would still be the same.

Him and sasukessixpack go hand in hand lol.

@Mooneyeplan: no human can use it. TenTen is human, isn't she? So how will she be able to use it?

Also, TenTen has no relevance to the plot. Thus, she is fodder. She can also be beaten by A LOT of people. Another definition of fodder that describes TenTen.

Tenten has had fights, she helped take down Kakuzu and is a named character in the main story, therefore she isn't fodder.

It's true, fodder is a misused term. Tenten and Sakura are not fodder. Fodder relates to a character that has no name which merely appears in the story, like a member of the allied shinobi force. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how strong someone is, rather, how important they are. But it's a nice word and I like to use it :p

I agree with this person. :ice:

Tenten isn't fodder. Fodder is someone who doesn't really have a role in the story and just exists to fill up the environment eg. the ninjas that died in the first day of the war. Tenten has a role in the story, as she has had fights so she can't be fodder.

@bold: no she doesn't.

Look, if you wanna determine if someone is fodder, imagine how it would affect the story if they died. TenTen's death wouldn't even change the name of Konoha11.

The fact that she is in the Konoha 11, in the same group as the main character and we have seen her fight, she can't be fodder. She isn't important but she isn't fodder because she has a name and isn't just there to fill up the environment.

Tenten= Fodder
Neji= Fodder
Kiba= Fodder
Zetsu= Double Fodder

Tenten = weak but alive, closest to fodder of K11
Neji = alive
Kiba = alive
Zetsu clones = fodder
All the ninjas that were killed by Zetsu clones = fodder.

She had one fight....which she lost miserably. Kishi didn't even find her important enough to show that fight.

A fodder isn't determined by whether or not we know their name, it's determined by how much they affect the plot/story. Look at Ebisu. He has NO relevance, and thus, is fodder, even though we know his name.

By this logic, Raditz is the saviour of the DBZ earth since he caused Goku to die, which caused Goku to go to King Kai and get strong enough to stop the Saiyans.

There are plenty of people who had had one fight, Tenten is in the main characters group and helped fight in the war using one of the sages weapons, fodder don't get opportunities like that.

Ebisu had a role in the story for a short part of Part one (teaching Naruto walking on water) and is a supporting character for one of the main supporting characters, therefore even he isn't really fodder (just about)

Ok, let me ask you this. If TenTen dies RIGHT NOW, what will happen to the story?
