Calling it Jutsu or Technique? Which do u think is better?

[Roy Flame Alchemist]

i think the Naruto dubbed might sound a little better if they just said technique instead of jutsu. When they say jutsu it just sounds stupid when american people say it. It might fit the american accents abit more of they just said techinique.

[ExAzrael]

I.....really don't care, so I voted for both.

Niether is a mistranslation, so I don't trouble myself with complaining.

[TheVileOne]

Same difference, whatever.

I'm annoyed with all the complaints about saying how they pronounce "jutsu".

[ExAzrael]

as am I.

It makes me laugh at how many fans fake knowing Japanese, xD

the only reason "jutsu" in japanese sounds like "ju-(as in "just")tsu(t-soo)" Is because they speak it so quickly. quick lesson in japanese, folks. The japanese "u" is pronounced "oo", a long "U". yes there may be instances where that isn't the case, but this is not one of those words where that case applies. So shaddap.

[TheVileOne]

Its just delusional otaku freaks and their elitist attitudes.

They think they know EVERYTHING there is to know about the Japanese culture, language, and anime.

[ExAzrael]

That's why I've got that link in my sig, heh.

[hakke]

this is another case of lipsynching(?), sometimes they need to stretch the lines to fit... both sound fine, im actually glad the use both on the dub.

[Jinnai]

I like that they're keeping a lot of Japanese in the show, but hearing jutsu without the "no" in front of it just sounds odd.

[hakke]

I like that they're keeping a lot of Japanese in the show, but hearing jutsu without the "no" in front of it just sounds odd.


Sure it sounds off, you just have to get used to it...

would "jutsu OF a shadow clone" sound any better?
"art OF doppelganger"?
"technique OF me and my body"?

Its fine the way it is...

[Maleficent]

Foreign words just sound cooler...

[ArioNeko]

I voted for technique because I am against mixing the languages. Either transilate it all or keep it all. I say if they were gonna use Jutsu they should have used 'kage bushin no jutsu' or simply 'shadow clone technique' instead of mixing them both...


... except for teh case of honorfics and 'sensei' those needed to stay simply because they do not transilate very well.

[nah-nah]

Honestly, though, about mixing languages... Doesn't english already do that anyway?

We have a lot of European words mixed in with our words as well... We use some Spanish words already... and honestly... I don't see anything wrong with expanding our - and our youth's - vocabulary. That is the beauty of America. We have no official language. We are a melting pot.

Besides... The Japanese use some of OUR words in THEIR vocabulary. What's wrong with us doing the same thing? It's not like it's doing any harm to either them or us. We're always going to have accents, and they are as well. No big deal... at least it's understood and at least we're all trying.

Nothing's wrong with mixing languages. Believe it-ttebayo!

<3

[dylec]

In Naruto, 'Jutsu' is 'technique'; both of them mean the same thing. I don't see how it should be a problem if either or both are used.
Let's say one of Naruto's lines is: "Heh, how about a taste of my technique?" After his quick seals, he yells "Sexy jutsu!" and transforms into his girly version.
'Technique' can easily be replaced with 'jutsu', but keeping it there is for context. Now, if 'technique' replaces 'jutsu' in the second line "Sexy technique!" - it doesn't sound that smooth. :tem

[Complex Alchemist]

Wow theres a lot of jokes on american ppl. We're not so bad just im angry that we barely got to se the first 3 episodes of naruto its fucking retarded! And doesnt matter how u say jutsu its going to be different for evry1 so dont just say american ppl sound stupid saying or it might fit the american accents better if u say techinique. At a time evry1 says it different no matter:mad who u are OR where u live its going to be different!

[nah-nah]

I'm sorry, Complex Alchemist... I'm having trouble comprehending what you've stated in your above post. Please take a deep breath, calm down, and try posting again so that it's easier to read. Thank you.

[genesisofire]

I like it how Viz chose it--jutsu. "Technique" wouldn't make it sound the least bit better, at least in my opinion.

[King Speed]

Jutsu just... fits. technique would just set off the haters more, i mean i wouldnt care if they used either. And at first when i heard theres wasn't a "no" inf ront of jutsu i was like "darn" but its not anything that's really a big deal to me.

[Bakryu]

I like it how Viz chose it--jutsu. "Technique" wouldn't make it sound the least bit better, at least in my opinion.

same here i think technique would just made it sound stupid

[narutofan1010]

actually in the japanese the atacks are "insert name of attack" no Jutsu for example in japanese the Shadow Clone attack is Kage Bushin No Jutsu so for the purists i think Jutsu is the better translation belive it

[Ah B]

Either one is fine. It's not a big deal anyways.

[Otamoshi]

It doesn't really matter to me. Think they both work well. Use whatever one sounds better in context or is more comfortable for dubber.

[Bakryu]

Either one is fine. It's not a big deal anyways.

thats treu but i still dontthink it would sound too hot if it were technique instead of justu

[King Speed]

well theres no use trying to argue about ot- just in case. Jutsu is used because Viz. Technique would be used if 4kids... see the difference.

[Uchiha Inkatomi]

It matters, what language its in, like if you say Kage Bushin No Justsu, Justsu is gonna fit better in that spot than "technique". But if you say Shadow Clone Technique, I think Technique is gonna sound better than no justsu in that spot.

[Panzer Kunst]

References to japanese name should be accurate, I would think. Call it shadow clone technique or kage bunshin no jutsu, anything else is inaccurate.

[DeathIsComing]

hm...let's see. shadow clone JUTSU or shadow clone TECHNIQUE?...i like jutsu more.

[pengachu]

definitely jutsu...i mean...come on its a jap anime and it gotta contain some azn style words!

[RockLee]

-_-'

Though, I don't mind technique in the slightest. Jutsu, just because I'm used to it, but technique would not hvae bothered me in the slightest.

[padisah]

'Jutsu' sounds more exotic and appropriate.

[Lil Donkey]

I voted for both...

[n8dogg]

I would have preferred technique, but jutsu is fine, I guess. It definately doesn't take away from the show.

as am I.

It makes me laugh at how many fans fake knowing Japanese, xD

the only reason "jutsu" in japanese sounds like "ju-(as in "just")tsu(t-soo)" Is because they speak it so quickly. quick lesson in japanese, folks. The japanese "u" is pronounced "oo", a long "U". yes there may be instances where that isn't the case, but this is not one of those words where that case applies. So shaddap.

Oh man oh man. One of my co-workers at Game Stop is one of those people. She practically BRAGS about the fact that she knows Japanese. In reality, she knows jack shit.

Always says easy words like "yatta" and "baka" whenever she can... DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW JAPANESE!! Any hobo can say "arigatou kojaiimasu". Just listen to music by Styx.

ARRRUGHHHHERHDSKJBKJFD.

[Sake Hokage]

I like Jutsu. It just feels more authentic

[Nadav-Kun]

they need to say Techinque.
why?
cuz my opinion is, if ur destroying the japanese dub, just destroy it untill the end.

[Shisui]

Well, I may not be an expert in Japanese, but my understanding of the term "jutsu" is that it carries a certain connotation that "technique" doesn't really replicate.

"Jutsu" generally refers to a range of skills or abilities, like a craft or an art (you see it a lot in martial arts, especially branches of martial arts dedicated to the practical application of skills, like jujutsu or kenjutsu). When it's used as "no jutsu" to refer to a specific technique as it is in Naruto it sounds sort of archaic and carries overtones of ancient magic spells and formalized martial arts techniques. Ninjas in folklore are linked with geomancy and sorcerors, and so it would make sense for them to use "jutsu" in place of "techniques."

"Shadow Clone Jutsu" at least retains some of those overtones. "Shadow Clone Technique" lacks the same implications and it makes the word "technique" seem kind of tacked-on and redundant.

[Giant Enemy Crab]

jutsu because it sounds cooler and easier.

[ReikaiDemon]

Eh, I would've perfered it either way, but I guess I'll let my alter egos take over.
Logic wise, they should've translated Jutsu to technique, seeing as a dub translates foreign languages to the languages that their audience mainly speaks. It also doesn't make sense to the Toonami audience, well, most of them, and most of the VA have trouble pronouncing names anyway, so why use Japanese terminology?
On the other hand, they may have kept jutsu as a gift of some sort to the fans of the original, or it could be for dramatic effect. Also, Jutsu may take a new place in the english language, for common use, as like the Japanese who use english words like Computer(konpyuta) and german words such as randoseru (german for satchel)
Though on a neutral stand point, I don't care either way

wtf! wrong topic oops.

[Complex Alchemist]

Just looking at my sigs

[Scum]

Jutsu seems more natural and it rolls of your tounge, it would be weird to see "Kage Bunshin Technique," after seeing "kage bunshin no jutsu" so many times. Jutsu just sounds much cooler.

[TheVileOne]

Well you can keep saying it to make it roll off your tongue n00by.

[Cougar-kun]

Um...I'm remaining nuetral.

[Illidin]

I like the way Jutsu sounds much more but since this is the dub section I have to say it should have been translated like everything else...don't play favorites shopro :nono.

[ArioNeko]

I agree. Either use all the terms IE the whole technique name in japanese or tansilate the whole thing. Bleh...

[ketaro]

The word "Jutsu" in my opinion sounds better than the word "technique".

[mime]

I like JUTSU better..

But I hate the english / japanese mix ......

Example:

duplication JUTSU!!! WTF!!!

I'd be better if the just say the thing in japanese.. is not that hard.. just a bit of practice..I'd would MISS that a lot!

[EDhg]

I like jutsu better because it seems more japanese and Naruto is orginally japanese. :laugh

[BattousaiMS]

It is true that when you mixte Kage Bunshin no Jutsu with Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu it sounds a little odd. But later on we going to other jutsus in which saying the word Technique sounds horrible.

[uncanny_sama]

in english its a hopeless cost, sure they tried nice but it just didnt work
i mean come on we all love to here jutsu but this is pure crap
"shadow clone jutsu"?? :notrust gimme a break

technique would have sounded better
1. just because
2. jutsu counds bad if its mixed with english translation words
3. they cant even pronounce jutsu right

[King Speed]

yes!!! a dub-basher is still here! I thought you all went on vacation.
1. thats a bullshit answer"just because"
2. I desagree, jutsu sounds fine with english words, japanese people use enlgish tidbits here and there in their language.
3.Every one prounounces stuff different, or you would say wrong :notrust
tomato, tAmato so what?

[Chiru]

I voted for both because both sound fine.

:huh
if you ask me you would even like the dub if they changed the names to:
naruto= billy-bob sasuke= steve sakura=sandy

because they cant pronounce anything right

then you would say " it doesnt matter if they change the names"
" Every one prounounces stuff different, or you would say wrong :notrust
tomato, tAmato so what?"

the dub has its flaws and the fact that voice acters are mispronouncing stuff is the proof
all they have to do is pronounce stuff right and its not hard to pronounce words like jutsu, naruto, uchiha, uzumaki, or shikamaru
the people of the dub just didnt take the damn time to look at the original episodes, else they would have known shit didnt sound right

an english attack followed by the mispronounced word "jutsu" just sounds like crap
either leave the whole attack japanese or translate the whole thing

:notrust, of course i wouldn't like the dub if the names were like that. That would f**** everything up. And how the hell you can even compare mispronoucing Naruto into Billy-Bob is beyond me. There's no tomato envolved there:P ... i get your point but that was a lousy metaphor.

But why you think the voice actors are japanese i don't know. Unless your japanese or the VA director is japanese and is telling the VA's how to pronouce everything to the letter is.... too high of an expectation.

I don't make fun of people who can't speak english properly.. or I think mess a word pronuciations up, i go ughh i my head but i realize they were brought up in an enviornment and just kind of learned to talk that way.

I say if your going to bash anyone, be it the VA directors. it's there job to catch and stop this kind of thing. I now wish they would have as some haters might say "defieled" the rest of the attack names and turned jutsu into technique so i wouldn't need to listen to you complain... actually, "debating" this stuff is one of the things that makes the naruto english thread go round.

Well heres a solution.....IF U DONT LIKE IT DONT WATCH IT!.....Simple as that thanks for ur time. Besides its onli 5 eps it gets better with TIME. T-I-M-E. Just give the Dub time and im sure the VA's would pronounce everything carefully and right. Ok?! Ok.

[Naruto Ann]

Me? I'm torn on the subject.

Of course I prefer Jutsu, but these English cats don't have what it takes. "Sexy Jutsu" sounds freaking retarded, no offense. They better minimize use of the word unless they just absolutely need to make the jutsu sound excessively cool (which they'll fail at) or they need to do it for the sake of making it flow right.

[ReikaiDemon]

Meh, I picked both O.o

[OverConfident Sensei]

Wtf?! U could choose both i didnt see that?!

[King Speed]

if its a square, you can select multiple choices, if it's a circle you can chose only one.

[OverConfident Sensei]

Heh...All i saw was jutsu and i chose it without seeing other choices beside technique. Heh btw way it doesm't matter what they use in the dub. They mix in match it perfectly I think.

[the 1 and only jj]

i have to say jutsu sounds better but i would rather have they not say the technique in english. it just sounds wrong.

Non-dubbed version all the way!

[Cyberwaste]

IMO, both sound ridiculous in English. As some one said earlier, "No Jutsu" carries overtones of the mythical and arcane. There really isn't a decent translation that doesn't sound retarded in English. They either should have left the names fully in Japanese (As I suspect they might for Chidori and Rasengan, they should do for Kage Bushin, Kawaimari, and Henge), or drop jutsu all together and just say "Shadow Clone!" and "Transform!”

We pick up immediately from context that they mean "Shadow Clone [spell!]", so why say jutsu at all?

[sik4rilz]

I voted for technique because I am against mixing the languages. Either transilate it all or keep it all. I say if they were gonna use Jutsu they should have used 'kage bushin no jutsu' or simply 'shadow clone technique' instead of mixing them both...


... except for teh case of honorfics and 'sensei' those needed to stay simply because they do not transilate very well.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[ArioNeko]

Dudes... Why would you be handing out neg reps from this thread? 0.o;;

OMG

[Darth Judicar]

I really prefer jutsu. Technique is ok, but I ultimately prefer jutsu over it any day.

[DesertLily]

Jutsu is better than technique, but technique is better than "jootsu".

[blind51de]

Anyone who's anyone that's liked Naruto since it was cool to like Naruto is comfortable with "jutsu".

That, plus it makes syncing the dub an easier job.

[Dark Dragon]

I prefer jutsu better, but I wouldn't mind technique being used. It doesn't really matter to me. :)

[Gunshin]

Jutsu when good voice actors say it (like Sasuke's), Technique when shitty voice actors say it (like Naruto).

[Goongasnootch]

It makes me laugh at how many fans fake knowing Japanese, xD

the only reason "jutsu" in japanese sounds like "ju-(as in "just")tsu(t-soo)" Is because they speak it so quickly. quick lesson in japanese, folks. The japanese "u" is pronounced "oo", a long "U". yes there may be instances where that isn't the case, but this is not one of those words where that case applies. So shaddap.

Fake knowing Japanese? Excuse me? I study a martial art called Budo Taijutsu. "Jutsu" is in the title. It's not "Juht-soo" (as in "just") at all. It's more like "J'tsoo" which is why a lot of people accidentally misspell it "Jitsu".

It makes me laugh that you make fun of people for their pronounciation skills (or lack of) and then can't even properly pronounce it.

[ExAzrael]

Way to not read my post, dipwad.

I didn't say it was supposed to be pronounced that way(ju as in "just"). In fact, I said that was the INCORRECT WAY to say it. Yes you are right with your pronunciation.



And wow. Why the hell is this even an arguement? xD "oh noes, someone who doesn't speak japanese pronounced a japanese word wrong! TEHY R TEH STOOPID!!"

Aaaanyway. Don't get all up in arms about shite like this. But don't say I said something that I didn't when you have me quoted right in your post. :P

[BooYah]

then just call it KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU TECHNIQUE..hehe..j/k well i prefer JUTSU( ITS CUTE lol)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Splintered]

Don't really care either way. Props for them for keeping jutsu but technique would have served the same purpose.

How? "technique" and "jutsu" have the same number of syllables..

[Archssor]

I would say Jutsu.

[Ino]

I think that Jutsu is fine. Let's leave it that way. Besides it sounds more animeish

[ctizz36]

Jutsu sounds way better

[Danny Lilithborne]

Tangent time:

I'm not sure why dubbers worry so much about mouth movements, when in the original Japanese they all but don't care about it. I've seen original episodes where people's mouths move for a full half-second before any speech starts at all. (Of course, they've generally been filler episodes, but I digress.)

[ViolentlyHappy]

I think I'm going to have to go with jutsu because it makes the technique sound more professional and more dangerous

[Smoregishwash]

I think if they said "Art of the doppleganger" It would sound better. I really don't care if the it takes a little more time and the mouth seems a bit odd, I just think most of the voice actors could prononce it better. I mean come on thats better then "Shadow clone jutsu".... Am I right?


And btw if this sounds tupid it may be cus its 1 AM and I am pretty damn tired.

I was delighted when they kept the authentic "jutsu" and "sensei" titles! No, it ain't because I saw the original Jap version first, but when most anime's terms are Englishified, it sounds downright hokey(like "reverse-blade sword" being screeched by Eng. Yahiko:arg in Kenshin). I actually liked the word doppelganger, though(maybe just my German blood, but hey!). *cowers for onslaught of rocks*:bees

[Rori]

I noticed how they kept it Jutsu, when i watched a dub out of interest. I'm glad, i'm too used to Jutsu, and Technique would sound weird.

Meh, i'll never watch the dub anyway. ¬__¬ So it doesn't really matter.

[One winged angel]

technique sounds wierd, cheers for jutsu

Ye jutsu sounds much better ^^

[Tapp Zaddaz]

I suprized me when I first heard it because in my mind I always read it as jitsu. I personaly don't care which one they use.

[Tougoozi]

keep it true to the original anime/manga by calling it jutsu

[adakis_uchiha]

i dont really care which it is they say both

[adakis_uchiha]

technique sounds better

[adakis_uchiha]

but jutsu is more proper

[Yusuke Urameshi]

Japanese Gai's "Oh my God!" - priceless. There's some things money can't buy, for everything else theres Yu Yu Hakusho.

Anyways voted for Jutsu, same difference.

In Japanese it's

*No Joots*, not the way to spell it but a rough translation of how to say it.

In english it's simply *Jootsu*

[FinalDragon13]

jutsu sounds better because you dont ever hear that over where i live. It sounds like i really know what im talking about then. :amuse

[Ino]

Let's keep it the same "Jutsu" is better.

[~Crescant-Bearer~]

Foreign words just sound cooler...
i have to agree foreign words sound better english ones are just hmmmm plain :P

[DeepThought]

Here's a thought:
SYNONYMS!

[Ino]

Jutsu is what makes the Naruto series a unique anime series in the U.S.

[gokuden553]

Jutsu is what makes the Naruto series a unique anime series in the U.S.

Ye your right. it does:amuse

[Emma]

I prefer Jutsu, It just sounds more... Narutoish XD

[Ino]

That it does.

[DeVeAn]

Jutsu sounds more pleaseing to the ears. When its performed it should be Jutsu. Really though I am still watching it in Japanese so meh.

[gokuden553]

I prefer Jutsu, It just sounds more... Narutoish XD

Ye it does:)

[Atomisk]

Jutsu by far, It's what makes it unique, as Ino said

[Ino]

Technique doesn't flow off the tongue as easily as jutsu.

[Hylian]

uh 'shadow clone technique!' sounds wierd

[Ino]

that's true. LOL!!!

[Inner-Kyuubi]

I am going to have to go with jutsu.

[Uchiha kid]

hmmm.....I kinda like Jutsu more. It's just sounds better and is fun to say. Jutsu...Jutsu...Jutsu...:P

[gokuden553]

uh 'shadow clone technique!' sounds wierd

ROFL it sure does:laugh

[Itachi the Assassian]

I'd say justu.

[gokuden553]

I'd say justu.

Same here:amuse

[Aavion]

Doesn't matter. Jutsu or technique, who cares?

[gokuden553]

Doesn't matter. Jutsu or technique, who cares?

Both have the same purpose ^^;

[Railith]

Jutsu sounds more ninjay which is fine for an anime about ninjas.

[LieToMe]

Jutsu...Technique
Tomato...Tomatoe

They are both really the exact same thing...but in the end I prefer Jutsu..it is more Narutoish and because it is true to the original

[Saurus]

call it a technique .. it sounds really bad...

[Ino]

technique... no way!!!!

[Tuanie-sama]

i pick jutsu it just sound cooler

[erin1209x]

Jutsu sounds better than technique. smile-big

[Wander]

Jutsu sounds better as long as people don't pronounce it joot-sue.

[Ino]

Jutsu, cause its all Japan-isy. :nod

Didn't I say that already? :notrust

[Crizo]

yeah i can see naruto saying "Shadow Clone Technique!" that would be hilarious...
But seriously if they said technique someone would have to die....

[atom]

if there going to say Jutsu they should say the WHOLE THING as its original form.... if there going to say it in english then leave the whole thing in english.

[Naruto Ninja44]

Jutsu sounds the best. Think about it, "Kage Bushin no Technique." (Shadow Clone.)

[Nihonjin]

Either say Kage bunshin no Jutsu...or say Shadow Clone technique...

Shadow Clone Jutsu....no
Kage bunshin technique....no

Dub it...or dont

[James]

If you're going to translate a series everything that makes sense in English should be translated to English.

[gokuden553]

Jutsu because it sounds better:amuse

[Ino]

yeah i can see naruto saying "Shadow Clone Technique!" that would be hilarious...
But seriously if they said technique someone would have to die....

Honestly. :mad

[Anemone]

Jutsu is better

[Ino]

100% better!
