* I don't get why some people say that the existence of the Izanami technique is an AssPull. Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Susano'o are all siblings in Shinto mythology. Their father is Izanagi, who also created the islands of Japan with the help of his wife, Izanami. With 4 out of 5 family members already giving names to Uchiha eye techniques, anyone with a basic knowledge of Shinto [[JustForPun should have seen this coming.]]

** IIRC, Team 7 uses radio headsets to coordinate their positions before capturing the Fire Daimyo’s wife’s pet cat. If they have those, then it’s possible there’s a civilian market for a music player. Though, yeah, SchizoTech makes it hard to be 100%
** Hrmm, I got the vibe that the Summons could refuse if they didn’t feel the exchange was commensurate. Kabuto mentioned that Orochimaru prepared sacrifices to Manda in exchange for the latter’s assistance, and was concerned Manda might leave if he learned of Orochimaru’s condition after fighting Sarutobi. Gamabunta also refused to concede to Naruto during his first couple of Summonings. I’d conjecture that Summoners have to build up credit or good will with their Summons, and they’ll come to the Summoner’s aid. Naruto was probably added as on Jiraiya’s or Minato’s tab, so to say, until he was old enough to earn his keep.

** It’s less that there’s a jutsu specifically called Izanami (lots of people were theorizing Izanami when Izanagi was revealed), but that its primary effect is to counter Izanagi. Izanagi was a super-Genjutsu that very few Uchiha seemed to use (none of the Uchiha that Itachi and Tobi fought seemed to use it), AND it blinded/sealed the Sharingan eye that cast it. Yet somehow, the Uchiha also came up with a technique to counter this super-obscure and niche usage of the Sharingan when ‘hit them again’ would’ve been the far more logical response (it drains a ton of chakra without the Senju boost, only last for seconds, and you’re BLIND if you use it twice…). AND, to top it off, also happened to coincidentally be useful against someone like Kabuto to end the fight and convince/turn him to shutting down the Edo Tensei (which many argue was given too much power). All that does feel rather asspull-ish.

** Well, before the whackiness with Chakra being the result of humans being gifted special abilities to be harvested as fertilizer for a magic fruit crafted by moon ninjas (seriously, later series got weird…), Chakra was explained as Physical Energy (from the body’s cells) + Spiritual Energy (presumably from the soul/mind/etc.) mixed together. The implication was that anybody could mix chakra, but only a few had a knack to do it meaningfully enough to become ninjas. To be at ABSOLUTE zero chakra, both energies would have to be at zero as well…so that’d probably mean the person would be dead. This is supported by foes with chakra-draining abilities commenting that they have drained opponents to death in the past.

**** It was revealed that it was one of Danzo's machinations. He scapegoated Naruto to maintain stability of the village, backing Hiruzen into a corner where he couldn't do too much to help Naruto without destabilizing the village.

*** Academy students use it for a few seconds while focusing on nothing else. Using it in battle for some bonus strength, though, would mean more time and also focusing on a lot of other things - where your opponent is, how to move in an unfamiliar body, possibly using further jutsus, etc. Just because someone may be able to do one push-up doesn't mean they can do fifty push-ups while reciting binomial formulas. It can be done, if we assume that Kiba's and Akamaru's stuff is similar to normal Transformation Jutsu, but with drawbacks, like how Akamaru needs the food pills beforehand, and Garoga as a two-headed dog took a lot more out of them than two Tsugas during the Sasuke retrieval arc.

Disambiguating Fullmetal Alchemist

** I myself thought that it's how it's used, take for example [[Pokemon]], water is weak to lightning because Pokemon are not ''made'' or water so they take the amplified lightning to their physical bodies, kinda why lightning was never used against Sloth in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'', or how in ''Manga/ZatchBell'' the lighting protagonist had a hard time fighting against the water enemy because she was savvy enough to never come into contact with the water that was electrified. In the Naruto universe Earth is used mostly as defense and the basic attacks are akin to the ones used by earthbenders in AangTheLastAirbender, so it makes sense that it's weak to lightning, the basic power of which is enhancing its piercing capabilities, a great example being Sasuke with his Chidori, lightning-enhanced blade, lightning spear attack, etc. However, this still balks at the problem of why lightning prevented Deidara from activating his explosions.

*** This seems likely, given that even WITHOUT explicit enhancement Jutsu, Ninja are frequently shown moving at VERY high speeds, and even basic punches/kicks can throw the opponent across a room.

** She fainted once on-screen in the manga. Granted, it was the first time she'd seen Naruto in 2 1/2 years, and he came out of nowhere. Then she fainted again when he popped up in front of her again just after she woke up and said she should be with him (on his team, but he didn't mention that part). Kiba then mentioned she had fainted at least once before off-screen. Anime took her fainting and made it a minor problem. Fanfiction took it and [[UpToEleven ran with it.]]

* In episode 24, the first stage of the Chunin exams is a test of deception and stealthy information gathering disguised as a written exam. Many of the methods used are impressive but one sticks out. Tenten manages to stick mirrors on the ceiling. How exactly did the sentinels not notice? The test was to see how determined a ninja could be in the face of adversity and how good they can gather information without getting caught so why did no one notice the obvious mirrors hanging from the ceiling light?

** In the Kyuubi's case, it's because all of the Tailed Beasts' bodies are literally made of chakra. So in that specific case, ripping off half their chakra ''is'' like ripping off a body part. They can spend and regenerate the chakra they were left with, but they can't grow back the part of themselves that was sealed away. Stealing chakra from a normal person isn't supposed to work like that, and in those cases, they can indeed rest and generate more to replace it when lost.

** Also, despite how the Substitute users make it look, it doesn't magically let you swap places with any object. It's basically like using the Body Flicker technique — a burst of sudden high-speed movement to escape — except you leave an object behind to briefly trick the attacker into thinking they hit something. It doesn't work if you can't react fast enough or if your movements were already immobilized.

* In real life, not everyone is a police officer or soldier. Do real-life civilians ''all'' carry firearms "just in case"? No, of course not. Most don't, in fact. Guns don't get used in the Narutoverse because ninjas get more value out of jutsu for less cost, and most civilians don't see a need for them. Civilian vs civilian conflicts can be resolved without guns, and a gun won't help a civilian against a trained ninja. Boruto does feature changing attitudes towards technology-in-combat and so we may see gun-like weapons more often; we've already seen energy cannon-like Scientific Ninja Tools.
