[edit] Satsuki or Thunder brothers Wiki?

For Shippo's benefit, I'd like someone to considering helping out in the creation of a Satsuki wiki, one for the Thunder Brothers (perhaps a comparison to a similar teen titan pairing too...), as well as the little girl thunder brother relative who shippo had such a cute romance with :) Tyciol 08:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Main choice of weapon?

Yes, I agree, the top is far more recognized than his acorn. I'm not sure which is used more, but the top is bigger, more colourful and prominent, and is seen in the introduction sequence which more readily engraves it in one's memory. Even so... I guess his foxfire doesn't count since it's an attack but not a physical weapon. Tyciol 07:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Age?

Age was changed from unknown to 'about 50'. Where does this information come from exactly? Last I knew, he was a kid. I know kids can be old, but they usually at least gain some semblance of maturity of the time. I feel he is younger, and will revert this to unknown unless some proof is offered. Tyciol 05:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

The age is set to 5, where is the source?
I only have listed in the series "it was 50 years ago, you should still be a baby", but it is uncannonical from anime. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.21.222.137 (talk • contribs) .
According to the Inuyasha Okuki Kaiden Character guide, Shippou is supposed to look seven years old. It fails to say how old he really is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Slotedpig (talkcontribs).


Yes he appears about 7, but in the anime they do state that he is an adult, just unfortunely never exatly how old. EvilHom3r 23:50, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


His age is unknown in the manga, but in an anime filler it says that he is around, or over 50. --Sango4ever 23:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

It says somebody has to be a fully wledged demon to hold the sword but Inuyasha is only a half-demon but he could still hold the sword? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.74.115.59 (talk) 05:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC).


Actually, full-demons can't touch it. only if someone has human blood in them, they can touch it. thats why kagome could pull it out of the ground, inuyasha can weild it, and sesshomaru cant touch it. it was made for half-demons so they can hold it (human part) and make it transform (demon)

[edit] Question

It says somebody has to be a fully wledged demon to hold the sword but Inuyasha is only a half-demon but he could still hold the sword?219.74.115.59 05:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

It actually says that no full fledged demon should be able to hold the sword. Jared Meijin 00:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Only full fledged demons. YuZuu 16:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Project dogs?

I am rather amused that a kitsune, which is more of a spirit than a canine, is within the scope of Project dogs. Shippo 18:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes magical Kitsune aren't considered dogs. That should be removed. --Sango4ever 23:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
If you look at the wikiproject description it says the project is about canines. Foxs are part of the family. Showers 00:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rank

In the Overview it is written, that Shippou "essentially begins the exam at Junior 8th Rank, one rank away from the top." This is not correct! The 30 Kitsune Ranks are:

1 senior 1st rank          10 lower junor 4th rank     19 upper senior 7th rank    28 lower strong novice
2 junior 1st rank          11 upper senior 5th rank    20 lower senior 7th rank    29 upper weak novice
3 senior 2nd rank          12 lower senior 5th rank    21 upper junior 7th rank    30 lower weak novice
4 junior 2nd rank          13 upper junior 5th rank    22 lower junor 7th rank
5 senior 3rd rank          14 lower junor 5th rank     23 upper senior 8th rank
6 junior 3rd rank          15 upper senior 6th rank    24 lower senior 8th rank
7 upper senior 4th rank    16 lower senior 6th rank    25 upper junior 8th rank
8 lower senior 4th rank    17 upper junior 6th rank    26 lower junor 8th rank
9 upper junior 4th rank    18 lower junor 6th rank     27 upper strong novice

At the end of the Chapter "Examinee 77" Shippou gets the Rank "lower Senior 8th Rank" as it is seen in this scan: "http://adinuyasha.thebrokenconsole.com/506/506pg18.html" - Therefore he is not only 1 rank away from the top, but 23. He went up from rank 30 to 24 for tricking InuYasha.

[edit] I think the picture should be changed

The picture at the top of the page is from the first InuYasha movie, not the anime. --Sango4ever 23:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

That's what the image description says. I changed the caption. You can upload a new picture if you want however. Showers 00:49, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
