Naruto Databooks Question

[Ar1216789]

The main thing people who Scale Naruto tend to use is the databooks..

Which for one is definitely not written by Kishimoto, in Naruto: The Official Character Data Book, in the last few pages Kishimoto thanks the people who created the book.. The reason Kishimoto is even considered a writer is because retailers credit Kishimoto because it is his property, it is his IP, and you have to credit the IP creator. If you look at the actual book, it does not give Kishimoto a writer's credit.

The book also fails to meet context with the actual manga and tends to exaggerate characters abilities and profiles, the databooks themselves should be taken with a grain of salt, they shouldn't even be considered. They shouldn't be considered whatsoever, it's non-canon and using the actual manga story is a better source for information, instead of adding things that were never seen or addressed in the manga..(Eg. Haku LS, Naruto Planet Level, Darui LS)

So umm....what's the "question" here? Did you just want to rant about databooks?

Pretty much. Just a discussion about the Databook Canon question ig

Pretty much.

I think "fun and games" is the place for that, not "Question and answers". Also doesn't really make sense to have "Question" in the title of a rant. But you do you.

they are official supplementary guides created by Shueisha in collaboration with Kishmoto and Caramel Mama, Caramel Mama being responsible for creating the databooks of One Piece,Dragonball's Daizenshuu and ofc Bleach and naruto, they are official guides, Kishi was obviously not the sole writer but that doesnt mean anything, because Kishi doesnt own naruto Shueisha does, they work so closely with the mangaka that they sometimes reveal information ahead of time like in the Boruto Database which is also distributed by Shueisha and Caramel Mama.

So yes while obviously secondary to the main source material they are absolutely valid as supplimentary guides, thats the whole point of them.

I don't know about this one g
Unless you're referring to what people use outside this site. Which makes asking this "question" here useless
The only thing used in the databooks that heavily affects how we scale things here is Light Fang. And heavy is a stretch considering that there are way more people who don't scale to it than those who do
Plus an author doesn't need to personally write a material before it's incorporated with canon
That's why it's known as supplementary material

Inb4 "Dragon Ball Super isn't canon"

Well, if you have any questions about the subject and want to resolve it, wouldn't it be better to make a crt to change that?

Off topic.. but why doesn't this wiki consider Kaguya as Low 2-C.. what confuses me even more is why shes put as 4-C, while Naruto and Sasuke aren't.. they've far surpassed Kaguya.
