Talk:Asuma Sarutobi

message: We have a far too verbose section on the IQ thing, including this: "How exactly he designed these puzzles to test something as numerical as I.Q. is unknown, but it is a testament to his cleverness and resourcefulness."  WHAT?  Real IQ tests are generally done useing a series of timed puzzles, so this makes no sense whatsoever.  It should be removed. Plunge 03:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: IQ Test

message: Sarutobi Asuma → Asuma Sarutobi – As pointed out in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga#Naruto_character_article_titles, the current names for articles about Naruto characters are inconsistent with the names used for other anime characters (Naruto characters use Japanese order for names, while most other anime characters have their name in Western order), as well not following the naming guidelines in WP:MOS-JA.

thread_title: Requested move

message: Is this true? In chapter 327 it mentioned he was being taken to the hospital. Is there definite evidence that he is dead? The good folks on narutofan seem to think otherwise.
:: No, he isn't dead. Shikamaru said he still had a pulse, so he isn't dead (yet).
I just read a spoiler pg in ch. 328, Asuma dies and shikamaru lights up a cigarette in asuma's pouch and smokes it while crying. I honestly hope that he isn't dead. don't believe me? http://pokefreak.deviantart.com/journal/10429782/#journal Verde830 12:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deceased? 

message: Article says Asuma may be his father or uncle. The Sandaime Hokage may be Konohamaru's maternal grandfather, in which case Asuma would be his second cousin? Just thought someone should mention that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.111.196.63 (talk)

thread_title:  Relation to Konohamaru? 

message: Should he still be in the main character section. He is dead. Naruto is going to have more main characters appears and others die. I'm pretty sure most of the adults are going to die as the kids take over. This question cam to me when I was visiting other pages. Some have a deceased person page so maybe we should have one for all the important dead characters. What do you guys think--------Noman953
:Firstly, he's listed under "Supporting", not "Main". With that said, I see no reason to relocate him since he's doing no harm being listed with the rest of his former team. Besides, he's still a driving force behind the current plot (Team 10 wouldn't be having a rematch with Akatsuki if Asuma had lived). If Team 10 ever gets a new sensei, then we can think about moving Asuma. ~SnapperTo 21:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Main Character?

message: Should we be referring to him in the past tense? It is grammatically correct, however itll be a spoiler for anyone who hasn't read the latest chapters. Personally I think we should use the present tense throughout the page purely because of the spoiler. 142.167.171.189 15:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the fact that deceased shows in the infobox spoils it before the article gets into past tense.--Vercalos 18:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Past Tense 

message: Though Asuma is decesed, it should be added under his family listing, that he is expecting a child, carried by Kurenai. There is no evedence to arguee that the child being carried by Kurenai is not Asuma's. --- Dragon son
:Wait for the thing to be born and given a name before adding it to relatives. ~SnapperTo 05:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Though it likely is, let's not start counting our chicks before they hatch (hmm, that somehow seems both appropriate and callous at the same time, cool). In the unlikely event her child is somehow killed (stabbed, maybe?), then he wouldn't be a notable relative, no is he one until he's actually born or at the very least named. — Someguy0830 (T | C) 05:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Quel horreur, Kishimoto does all this foreshadowing about Asuma and Kurenai, just to have Kurenai's kid be someone else's!  For the purposes of this article, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude that the kid is Asuma's, even if it's not officially confirmed.  -- Seraphchoir 19:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parenthood 

message: Under the list of hints to his relationship with Kurenai, it should be noted that special consideration was given to who should tell her of Asuma's death, so much so that the Hokage elected to do it personally. Also, is it fare to say not to mention the ring, after all, like the ring, it was never actually stated that the baby Kurenai is carrying is even Asuma's, (despite all reasonable evidence points to it).----Dragon son
:At this point, still speculation... What is present I think is enough to cover the foreshadowing that Kishimoto is giving us. -- Seraphchoir 19:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move List 

message: Can we just merge Asuma already? His article is the shortest and the worst of the Naruto articles, he won't play a role in the series any longer, and nothing important would be lost if this article is merged.

:As long as no info is missing, he keeps his place in the Character Box at the bottom as to not screw with a nice set of order I don't care. Though (again in my minds effort to avoid adding people to the Konoha nin page) an article for Important Instructors would be nice.../shrug Like a Konoha 11 for instructors.TheUltimate3 21:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
