Edo tensei

Shinra tensei

Chibak tensei .
See a patternt? Do these have a connnection or is just a name?

Shinra tensei and Chibaku are rinnegnen techniques . But not edo tensei . Could that be made of rinnengen ( Tobirama senju cud have had a rinnengen SOMEHOW and he could have made it then . Thats what cud have happend)

So wht do u guys think?:D

It's got nothing to do with that.

It's to do with the Japenese language. Unforuntately, I don't know Japenese so I couldn't tell you but I'm pretty sure they have tensei because it means something specific in english.

"Heavenly Voice in Japanese is Japanese for Heavenly Voice (tensei) which is read tensei."

"The Japanese word tensei meaning "Voice of God, Heavenly Voice" is composed of the kanji (read ten) meaning "heaven; sky; imperial" and (read sei) meaning "voice". This may also mean "heavenly voice" indicating someone that sings very well - with the voice of an angel."

This.

Jutsu like Shinra Tensei or Edo Tensei refer to heaven in some way; Shinra Tensei is the 'Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God', Edo Tensei refers to resurrecting shinobi from the 'Pure' world, or Heaven.

Tensei implies that something has divine qualities (Shinra Tensei = Almghty Push)
the word "Almighty" is meant to imply "Godlike" or "Heavenly" The same obviously goes for Chibaku Tensei.

As for Edo Tensei, it is most commonly translated to "Impure World ressurection" If you generalize it a bit, you can see the relationship between something "Almighty" and something hailing from an "Impure world"

Essentially I believe these Jutsu use the word Tensei as they grant "Otherworldly Powers" and are beyond the powers that human beings are meant to posess (godlike.)

Hope this helps the explaination
