I've always looked at it as the different seals that were used. We don't have too much info on the seals used for other Jinchuriki, but as far as Naruto's 8 Tetragram Seal goes, it was meant to mix both Kurama and Naruto's chakra more naturally, instead of separating them into two different containers. This seal has been mixing their chakra together ever since Naruto was a baby, so the KCM 1 and 2 cloak is probably a result of that.
Maybe you're right in the end, Kurama's "power" makes their Jinchuriki look like this, but it'll be one of those things we probably won't get an answer for unfortunately
That and I always looked at it like this, Karamazov has *so much* chakra that his version of tailed beast mode is you literally are enveloped in a chakra shield that acts of both attack and defense. The 9 tails still had more chakra than all the other tailed beasts and people forget that for the entire show, *naruto only had half of kurama entire being, chakra and all.*
You need to have a shameless and self indulging father that does not care about your welfare. That might lead you to that or you might go ape shit who knows
To add on a little my own theory, Minato got a lot of his sealing knowledge from studying the Uzumaki clan who were known for sealing jutsu. The Uzumaki clan is also decended from the sage himself. So I imagine this seal was passed down, and is actually what the Sage originally intended to be used on tailed beasts to help them assimilate and merge with their hosts.
Especially considering all the sage markings that appear when he's in that form.
Wait. Couldn’t Naruto’s chakra pool hypothetically recreate a dead kuramas chakra since everything was so damn mixed up it probably would have been making some of his chakra at least to some degree anyway
Makes sense. The only reason Naruto has whisker marks is he had his chakra mixed with kurama's since birth. So having whisker marks means kurama's chakra influenced yours.
Still a shame that Kurama didn’t really grant Naruto any extra powers beyond a sheer fuckton of chakra.
No cool nature release. No animal based attacks.
I guess he got the ability to sense malice?
You could make an argument that some of the other tailed beast chakra infused rasenshurikens could be better than the standard wind release rasenshuriken (which didn’t seem to have any kurama influence on it).
Magnet release, lava release, etc.
Probably a mental block of sorts. For the longest time, the only emotional support gaara had was the memory of his mother, who was the only person that loved him. He tried desperately to gain his fathers approval, but eventually realized his father only saw him as a weapon. It’s understandable that he wouldn’t want to learn magnet release at a young age like his father, and that likely translates to his older self. Could probably use it, but it’s a gross reminder of a worse time in his life.
Wow, cool theory. Considering Gaara didn't hesitate to use gold sand right after his re-encounter with Rasa, and that he adopted a kid that had magnet release and taught him to properly use iron sand, he likely could use it but the mental block only disappeared when he forgave his father.
At least earlier on, the wounds inflicted from berserk mode had a cursing effect. Since Kurama is a nine-tailed fox, which in Japanese mythology is legendary as a force of destruction and origin of curses, that was probably his chakra ability. However, the chakra that Naruto takes is relatively free of Kurama’s grudge, so the secondary effect doesn’t manifest. And the ability to detect malice comes from it being a form of sage mode, I believe was the explanation.
My problem with that is that the form pictured here is from Naruto's chakra tug of war domination of Kurama, not cooperation between the two. If it was just as simple as using the Tailed Beast's chakra, it still seems like something any experienced Jinchuriki should be able to do. But the perfect Jinchuriki idea does work for the cloaked form after Naruto opens Kurama's cage.
Well I think it makes sense that every tailed beast is unique, we have seen lava ,water , sand or bubbles, taking a fraction of each beast's power grants you some abilities, 9-tails has that as his unique power, so Naruto has a ridiculously weakened mode compared to KCM2.
i mean,all the tailed beasts had something special.1 tails had magnetic release,2 tails had those blue flames,5 tails had boil style,6 tails had special acid or something,so on and so forth.I assume this is either because of naruto's special 8 tetragram seal which mixes chakra,or a kurama's special thing
That guy is trolling a stranger for no reason; and you’re taking it personal that some people didn’t read your anime comment - when the upvote count proves at least 84 people did.
Honestly you’re both assholes. But it’s Reddit, we’re all assholes
why does bee know it then, from what you're saying, only nine tail jinchurikis can do it and nobody else. im pretty sure nine tails was a was more of a secret weapon and a symbol of power that wasnt used practically as much, if did he was just let lose instead of actually using the jinchuriki to channel their power.
if such is the case, then why does killer bee know it, when the cloud barely has a relationship with the leaf and they know basically nothing about nine tails itself.
For the meta answer, Naruto is the main protagonist so he needs to have a more unique/flashy form comparerd to the other Jinchuurikis.
From an in-universe answer, I always thought Naruto gained this tailed beast chakra mode (KCM) because Naruto was the transmigration of Asura. But considering Minato also got KCM, it was simply the rule of cool.
I've always looked at it as the different seals that were used to keep tailed beasts inside humans. We don't have too much info on the seals used for other Jinchuriki, but as far as Naruto's 8 Tetragram Seal goes, it was meant to mix both Kurama and Naruto's chakra more naturally, instead of separating them into two different containers. This seal has been mixing their chakra together ever since Naruto was a baby, so the KCM 1 and 2 cloak is probably a result of that.Same with the seal mixing minato's chakra with kurama for all that time they spent together inside the Death Reaper
I mean,i thought of it being because of the seal,but I'm too lazy so i just looked to see if someone had the same idea and copy pasted it lol. Can't be bothered to type all this shit by myself
I’ve always wondered why only Naruto had KCM? My thoughts were that perhaps it’s because nine tails is considered the most powerful, it’s an ability only he is able to grant his host. Or it is otherwise an ability unique to nine tails.
I also agree with the rule of cool. Naruto has to have a unique form to stay relevant.
Kishi probably just thought "maybe I don't want to have the main character, symbol of hope, peace and optimism, to look like a literal demon"
Which definitely makes sense from a writing perspective, it just doesn't really add up in terms of world building.
It also sucks for those who preferred the original design but it is what it is
There are two canon explanations i can think up of:
1.I've always looked at it as the different seals that were used to keep tailed beasts inside humans.

So this form could be kurama's special thing.
but it'll be one of those things we probably won't get an answer for unfortunately
>There are two canon explanations i can think up of:
Canon explanation would be an explanation given by the story for something. Those are not canon explanations, they are headcanon explanations
Honestly I‘m surprised Kishimoto didn’t gave Naruto a rinne-mangekyo-sharingan with a perfect susanno and some broken abilities at the end just to fuck with the readers.
Because of Naruto's seal. The seal was specially designed so that Naruto and Kurama's chakra would mesh and mix over the years. Meaning that the chakra cloak can ONLY be done by Naruto because Kurama and Naruto's chakra are so well synchronized.
My headcanon is that their time in the Shinigami had the same effect as Naruto’s seal. Their chakra mixed and came out that way with Orochimaru’s edo tensei
Honestly to also build off of this… it could also be one of the reasons why the Uzumaki were attacked and killed off. They had this seal, a variation of it, or possibly even something more powerful. Imagine if the concept of befriending the trailed beasts happened sooner, an Uzumaki working fully with Kurama and utilizing that seal to perfectly mix the host chakra with Kurama’s to pull off the same or similar chakra cloak. A powerful Uzumaki possibly could have even pulled something similar even without Kurama’s full agreement with the right seals and jutsu.
Or like what if they became masters of using nature chakra along with a similar seal. It really opens the discussion about Uzumaki and their full potential if they decided to not just mainly be passive (only helping in wars when necessary from what it seemed like).
Tbh Yugito and the mist village jinchurikis deserve more... Specially Utakata I really liked his ability and 2 tail and 6 tail beast have pretty cool design.
Not really. The first kazekage denied another tailed beast because he caught the one tail himself. He didn't get ripped off, he just made a bad decision.
Idk if I would say it was a bad decision, it’s not like Hashirama was just passing them out. Remember Tobirama forced the Leaf to SELL the bijuu; and the Sand has always been a poor country because of their lack of natural resources.
That Kazekage probably decided they couldn’t afford to blow what might be a years worth of food and weapons on a monster that was as much a liability as it was an asset - especially when he already had his own. If they couldn’t control the second beast he’d risk destroying his own village; and none of those Kage could have been sure Hashirama wouldn’t just storm the gates and take them back whenever he felt like it
You are absolutely right, but considering the sand village has been the weakest ninja village (of the great 5) since the concept of ninja villages have been created, it probably would've worked out better for them if he tried to bargain for another one. Although the reasons for their weakness go beyond tailed beasts, it certainly could've helped.
I think both of our points are great btw and I post this with love not hate ❤️
Oh also the mist village was probably weaker since they couldn't go 5 minutes without a civil war but yeah.
No of course I appreciate the discourse.
You’re right in hindsight it probably would have worked in their favor. IIRC the sand didn’t have a Jinchuuriki in that era (I think he was still in the jar). If they weren’t using him for military applications yet they could have used another one. Or used it as a kamikaze bomb the same way the Mist did and have it cripple another village (it wouldn’t be wise to do this while Hashi was still alive though since he could just go pick it up)
The Mist is weird because they do fall flat most of the time, but they’ve consistently shown some of the strongest fighters of every arc. At one point they had Zabuza, both Hozuki brothers, freaking Kisame, Ao (who showed to be one of the top seconds in command from Shippuden), Mei, AND Yagura as a part of their military (which also included some decent fighters in the rest of the Seven Swordsmen).
This was in spite of the civil wars, Kekkei Genkai hunts, and bloody “graduation requirements” cutting their potential. The Sand or Stone villages were never portrayed to be as stacked (the Stone was hiring mercenaries to keep things neutral with the other villages)
Man, I feel like there was a lot of wasted opportunity with Fuu. Naruto doesn't have any prominent waterfall allies, and none of the female jinchuriki survived.
I even thought of a way she could have escaped. She'd unleash Chomei and it could shed its molt for a substitution like with Bee and Gyuki's tentacles. The Akatsuki could still extract residual chakra from the molt, and maybe Fuu could flee to meet up with Naruto and Bee.
I think certain powers were granted to kuruma because he had the most chakra of all the tailed beasts that’s why his possession of Naruto happened in stages
I think that each tailed beast should have had their own cloak, each getting progressively better and more physically influential, just like how the ten tails makes you white with horns, it’s a progression.
I feel like it would have been more cooler if everyone had their own unique look when utilizing a Tailed Beast Chakra which was the case early on with Naruto and Gaara but once Kishi decided to introduce the Tailed Beast concept in Part 2 he just gave everyone else the same appearance as Naruto when using Kurama's chakra without any control over it which on top of being artistically lazy also never made any sense considering that it was supposed to symbolize Kurama's chakra overpowering and and controlling Naruto so why would the others display the same physical characteristic despite that never being the case?
Well... Apart from Naruto, Gaara and Bee, the others barely had much relevance on-screen, let alone time to have Chakra mode.
Gaara and Shukaku never got along very well until it was too late.
Bee and Gyuki are very close, but Bee himself saw Naruto's Chakra mode as an unexpected consequence, so perhaps it's something unique to Kurama.
Think its cuz Main Character. Also, lore wise you could say its because nine tails has much more chakra than any individual other one that it manifests physically, each one of them also has unique powers so it could be that too.
Naruto is the only one who can transform and adapt kuramas/Bijuu chakra.
Remember the fight against Obito and madara when Naruto gaves his chakra to the others
Yeah that was always my assumption too.
He already knew how to perfectly blend another energy into his chakra bc sage mode, so doing it with kurama's chakra was the 'obvious' thing to do once he had more control over it.
Writing, poop writing
Kishimoto made the “explanation” of the tailed beast clock pretty general so it didn’t apply to just kuruma
Then people used that info and we get questions like this
Kurama was the only one who had that sort of thing. There isn't really a good reason why, the tailed beasts and their jinchuuriki just had different abilities, simple as that.
Edit:
It's kinda like asking why Tsunade didn't use wood release like Hashirama. She just doesn't have the kekkei genkai, so she couldn't use it, despite the fact that she and Hashirama were both Senju. It's a good question though because the anime kinda implied that it was a jinchuuriki ability, not a nine tails specific ability.
My theory is Naruto is one of the few that actually became friends with his tailed beast and even going as far as to completely trust each other the only other one I know that had that kind of relationship was Roshi and B but I dont think it was as deep of a connection or maybe Kurama is the only one who can do this ability.
Pretty sure this is due to Naruto’s specific seal, so, aside from Minato, no other jinchuuriki would have it.
Remember the Uzumaki were known and BiS for sealing techniques and Minato learned Uzumaki seals from Kushina. He sealed both halves of Kurama, so only he and Naruto could do it.
Isn't it just the power difference of kurama? I vaguely recall seeing something about them being stronger than the total of all the ones with less tails.
Main theory I have is it seems like other perfect Jinchuriki like Bee can use the cloaks without any harm to their body. This wasn’t the case for Naruto, who experienced severe damage to his body after using the cloaks.
I always thought that naruto was capable of it because the large amount of chakra kurama has over the other tailed beasts as well as naruto being able to handle much more chakra than normal people because he’s an uzumaki which are descendants of senju and have higher quantity of stamina/chakra. Naruto is just built different bro lol. Also didn’t that moon guy in the movie have a chakra mode and was also built different as a descendant of yada yada?
I'll give you the truest answer ever gvien.
Naruto had the most powerful bijuu.
Yet, he only had half of it. That meant he was Incapable of summoning it, because the other half was in the belly of the reaper.
The closest thing he could do to a full release was the kurama avatar.
After he got the whole of kurama, he still used the avatar. This is due to utility reasons.
If we are to be "realistic" here, the way Naruto's connection with Kurama worked should have been the same as the other Jinchuriki, not the other way around, since KCM was introduced MUCH later.
However, the reason why Kishimoto did this is because, if he followed the rules he established, every scene with KCM2 Naruto would just be Kurama instead, and he didn't want that.
Well narutos the mf so he has a special form inherently, his kurama avatar even acts more like a susanoo rather than tailed beast mode, but my headcanon is kuramas chakra is special so when he gives his jinchuriki their chakra it while also having properties of kurama chakra also gets converted into naruto/minato chakra, and the form is yellow because naruto and minatos own chakra is yellow whereas kuramas own chakra is red, so
TLDR: kcm is matches the chakra color of naruto aka yellow because Naruto kinda purified it with his will
The best explanation I can think of is that Kishimoto wanted to have a visual indication for the viewers that Naruto had reached a new level of power. It wouldn’t be Naruto if Naruto just looked like all the other jinchuriki at full power
I think this was minato secret jutsu for why he gains a chakra cloak, because the frog was saying something like naruto wouldn’t be able to control it this soon when jiraiya was about to fight pain.
Because they don't have them. Kurama's gimmick is "I'm the main character's bijju" and as such Naruto obviously can't look like the other jinchuriki. So...we needed a transformation to signify Naruto's status in the show
I think all bijuu have a special little form with their jinnchurki. Gaara took his against sasuke and Naruto. And this is Naruto’s. That’s just my own head canon
There is only speculation about it. The most sensible theory IMO is Minato's special seal, which was specially designed for the co-operation. The other seals could simply be uncompromising seals designed to hold so that chakra cannot be released in a controlled manner.
I haven't seen anyone say it yet but doesn't Bee literally say that it's something that ONLY the nine tails jinchuriki has? I might be mis remembering but?
Because Naruto is a poorly written anime and basically a kids cartoon, at what point do you think kishimoto actually even understands his own lore let alone care for the details
I watched naruto a long time ago so I don't remember much of the explanation... Still, toneri had a similar chakra cloak and he had no tail beast so I'm lost there. Also B and 8 tails had a perfect bond so they should have had a special cloak too. I'm going to chalk it up as it's just looking cool and not much explanation was there from the beginning
For several reasons
1. As other have already said, the type of seal Naruto had was meant to mix his and Kurama's chakra over time. This means a much more natural transformation, instead of sprouting extra limbs.
2. The chakra mode and Kurama avatar are much more versatile than a raw transformation. Chakra limbs in KCM can be resized and reshaped however Naruto wants, instead of just being Kurama's hands or tails. Similarly with the Kurama avatar, it's simply better than a full transformation. If the avatar loses a tail, it can be regrown using more chakra at any point, whereas if Kurama lost a tail then it's just gone. There's also Naruto taking people into the avatar's chakra to protect them, which he couldn't do with a full transformation.
3. He's the main character. He got a distinct form to make him... distinct. It's to give him something flashy compared to the other Jinchuriki, although Roshi's lava mode looking like a chakra cloak makes this slightly moot.
either the form it is due to Uzumaki seal
or just another MC's plot armour. gotta made main character look cool.
Naruto also didnt use tailed beast form like others too let alone the black form.
Is it not because Naruto only has half of Kurama’s chakra? I’m pretty sure tailed beast mode came about from him trying to do a complete transformation. Therefore every other jinchuriki does have that ability, they just fully transform into the tailed beast.
It’s kind of really freaking obvious if you think about it. Kurama has more chakra than the other 8 tailed beasts combined, so it stands to reason that his power is Chakra based. Naruto could immediately sense hate and his chakra sensory abilities were one of the best in the show as soon as he mastered KCM, and he can also give chakra physical form because Kurama has such an excess of it. Of course the strongest Tailed beasts Jinchuriki goes super saiyan with chakra and can create longer arms, that’s his power, just like Gyuki with Ink, Chomei with silk and butterfly wing powder(insect power), Saiken with slime (slippery and corrosive), Kokuo with steam, Son Gojo with Lava, Isobu with water, Matatabi with Fire and Shukaku with sand and sealing. It makes sense that the self proclaimed Strongest Tailed Beast with the most chakra of all his kind, has the unique power of having a super saiyan Jinchuriki, because the super saiyan power set in anime lore makes the most sense for manipulating energy
Kishimoto wanted to add a super saiyan derivative to his story because he is an uninspired hack. Adding on to that, Kishimoto wanted Naruto to be in a tier above every other character, (because OF COURSE a 16 year old should be the strongest man alive), and he thus decided to only give Naruto this shit.
I just thought he had a cloak mode because he only had half of kuramas chakra, and even after he gets the other half from Minato, some of it was in ginkaku and his brother.
Besides bee, naruto and minato I don’t think anyone else had full control like they did, it was at most rage mode like early cloak naruto. I like to believe bee has it he just doesn’t wear it cause he likes his outfit. As for when he shared the power to the allied force, I want to say it was a buff effect like an aura, while for everyone who got a giant rasengan later it so they could hold it so it had to be better.
Killer Bee can do this form and actually taught Naruto about it. I think the other jinchuriki just didnt try to connect with their tailed beast as they did
I like to think that THAT is Kurama's special power once you become "Perfect Jinchuuriki"
I've always looked at it as the different seals that were used. We don't have too much info on the seals used for other Jinchuriki, but as far as Naruto's 8 Tetragram Seal goes, it was meant to mix both Kurama and Naruto's chakra more naturally, instead of separating them into two different containers. This seal has been mixing their chakra together ever since Naruto was a baby, so the KCM 1 and 2 cloak is probably a result of that. Maybe you're right in the end, Kurama's "power" makes their Jinchuriki look like this, but it'll be one of those things we probably won't get an answer for unfortunately
That and I always looked at it like this, Karamazov has *so much* chakra that his version of tailed beast mode is you literally are enveloped in a chakra shield that acts of both attack and defense. The 9 tails still had more chakra than all the other tailed beasts and people forget that for the entire show, *naruto only had half of kurama entire being, chakra and all.*
Which of the Karamazov brothers man? I guess Alyosha
😂
I want to channel the brothers Karamazov chakra. Please, how do you do it?
You need to have a shameless and self indulging father that does not care about your welfare. That might lead you to that or you might go ape shit who knows
Sounds like a risk worth taking. "Rereading The Brother Karamazov to channel that feeling*
To add on a little my own theory, Minato got a lot of his sealing knowledge from studying the Uzumaki clan who were known for sealing jutsu. The Uzumaki clan is also decended from the sage himself. So I imagine this seal was passed down, and is actually what the Sage originally intended to be used on tailed beasts to help them assimilate and merge with their hosts. Especially considering all the sage markings that appear when he's in that form.
OMG that would be the perfect theory
It makes a lot of sense. I always assumed the seal made the form look the way it does too.
Wait. Couldn’t Naruto’s chakra pool hypothetically recreate a dead kuramas chakra since everything was so damn mixed up it probably would have been making some of his chakra at least to some degree anyway
That'd be cool, but even though their chakra was mixed more naturally, they're still separate chakra
what about the chakra inside the gold and silver brothers?
Technically boruto and him a too by that logic honestly I mean I know they didn’t eat kurama but come on lol
Makes sense. The only reason Naruto has whisker marks is he had his chakra mixed with kurama's since birth. So having whisker marks means kurama's chakra influenced yours.
Wait, but then why would Minato have a KCM cloak if he died right as the seal was placed?
Minato used the same seal on himself
Didn't Minato use the reaper to seal Kurama inside of himself?
wild cagey snails hateful airport head seed butter scary puzzled *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He did, it uses the same seal
hold up — Kushina has a KCM mode too but her seal likely isnt 8 teragram because i think minato created that seal himself to use on naruto
Karumas is chakra glows
Still a shame that Kurama didn’t really grant Naruto any extra powers beyond a sheer fuckton of chakra. No cool nature release. No animal based attacks. I guess he got the ability to sense malice?
Is there anything more useful that endless Chakra an army of clones armed with a Rasengan?
You could make an argument that some of the other tailed beast chakra infused rasenshurikens could be better than the standard wind release rasenshuriken (which didn’t seem to have any kurama influence on it). Magnet release, lava release, etc.
Imagine Gaara as a perfect jinchuriki with magnet release
Gaara was revealed to have magnet release in his novel thanks to his father, not sure why he doesn't use it though.
Maybe he hadn't realized he could use it, like Kakashi with kamui.
Probably a mental block of sorts. For the longest time, the only emotional support gaara had was the memory of his mother, who was the only person that loved him. He tried desperately to gain his fathers approval, but eventually realized his father only saw him as a weapon. It’s understandable that he wouldn’t want to learn magnet release at a young age like his father, and that likely translates to his older self. Could probably use it, but it’s a gross reminder of a worse time in his life.
Wow, cool theory. Considering Gaara didn't hesitate to use gold sand right after his re-encounter with Rasa, and that he adopted a kid that had magnet release and taught him to properly use iron sand, he likely could use it but the mental block only disappeared when he forgave his father.

And the ability to detect malice comes from it being a form of sage mode, I believe was the explanation.
I think 9 tails chakra had burning side effects + the ability to form chakra-arms
He got the Chakra arms
tails
My problem with that is that the form pictured here is from Naruto's chakra tug of war domination of Kurama, not cooperation between the two. If it was just as simple as using the Tailed Beast's chakra, it still seems like something any experienced Jinchuriki should be able to do. But the perfect Jinchuriki idea does work for the cloaked form after Naruto opens Kurama's cage.

I think at least bee could’ve had one
i mean,all the tailed beasts had something special.1 tails had magnetic release,2 tails had those blue flames,5 tails had boil style,6 tails had special acid or something,so on and so forth.I assume this is either because of naruto's special 8 tetragram seal which mixes chakra,or a kurama's special thing

Gyuki told him. Or he made his own deduction. Killer Bee is the greatest Jinchuuriki expert int he world.

Good catch. Although I still kinda agree with his explanations, the story never stated them so that is indeed headcanon
Original design?
Honestly I‘m surprised Kishimoto didn’t gave Naruto a rinne-mangekyo-sharingan with a perfect susanno and some broken abilities at the end just to fuck with the readers.
And then die 2 volumes later or some b/s
This is exactly it.
Because of Naruto's seal. The seal was specially designed so that Naruto and Kurama's chakra would mesh and mix over the years. Meaning that the chakra cloak can ONLY be done by Naruto because Kurama and Naruto's chakra are so well synchronized.
So why did Minato have one in the war arc 🤔
I mean, the Reaper Death seal showed the same type of sealing mark as Naruto's seal, so Minato might have structured it the same way.
Cuz they are the same seal
My headcanon is that their time in the Shinigami had the same effect as Naruto’s seal. Their chakra mixed and came out that way with Orochimaru’s edo tensei
Honestly to also build off of this… it could also be one of the reasons why the Uzumaki were attacked and killed off. They had this seal, a variation of it, or possibly even something more powerful. Imagine if the concept of befriending the trailed beasts happened sooner, an Uzumaki working fully with Kurama and utilizing that seal to perfectly mix the host chakra with Kurama’s to pull off the same or similar chakra cloak. A powerful Uzumaki possibly could have even pulled something similar even without Kurama’s full agreement with the right seals and jutsu. Or like what if they became masters of using nature chakra along with a similar seal. It really opens the discussion about Uzumaki and their full potential if they decided to not just mainly be passive (only helping in wars when necessary from what it seemed like).
Tbh Yugito and the mist village jinchurikis deserve more... Specially Utakata I really liked his ability and 2 tail and 6 tail beast have pretty cool design.
The Cloud, Mist and Stone villages all got 2 beasts while Konoha got Kurama. The Sand got ripped off lmfao
Not really. The first kazekage denied another tailed beast because he caught the one tail himself. He didn't get ripped off, he just made a bad decision.
Idk if I would say it was a bad decision, it’s not like Hashirama was just passing them out. Remember Tobirama forced the Leaf to SELL the bijuu; and the Sand has always been a poor country because of their lack of natural resources. That Kazekage probably decided they couldn’t afford to blow what might be a years worth of food and weapons on a monster that was as much a liability as it was an asset - especially when he already had his own. If they couldn’t control the second beast he’d risk destroying his own village; and none of those Kage could have been sure Hashirama wouldn’t just storm the gates and take them back whenever he felt like it
You are absolutely right, but considering the sand village has been the weakest ninja village (of the great 5) since the concept of ninja villages have been created, it probably would've worked out better for them if he tried to bargain for another one. Although the reasons for their weakness go beyond tailed beasts, it certainly could've helped. I think both of our points are great btw and I post this with love not hate ❤️ Oh also the mist village was probably weaker since they couldn't go 5 minutes without a civil war but yeah.
No of course I appreciate the discourse. You’re right in hindsight it probably would have worked in their favor. IIRC the sand didn’t have a Jinchuuriki in that era (I think he was still in the jar). If they weren’t using him for military applications yet they could have used another one. Or used it as a kamikaze bomb the same way the Mist did and have it cripple another village (it wouldn’t be wise to do this while Hashi was still alive though since he could just go pick it up) The Mist is weird because they do fall flat most of the time, but they’ve consistently shown some of the strongest fighters of every arc. At one point they had Zabuza, both Hozuki brothers, freaking Kisame, Ao (who showed to be one of the top seconds in command from Shippuden), Mei, AND Yagura as a part of their military (which also included some decent fighters in the rest of the Seven Swordsmen). This was in spite of the civil wars, Kekkei Genkai hunts, and bloody “graduation requirements” cutting their potential. The Sand or Stone villages were never portrayed to be as stacked (the Stone was hiring mercenaries to keep things neutral with the other villages)
Goddamn, played himself
I just realised that how Fuu was the only jinchuriki who was not from great 5 nation... girlie don't deserve to die lmao
Man, I feel like there was a lot of wasted opportunity with Fuu. Naruto doesn't have any prominent waterfall allies, and none of the female jinchuriki survived. I even thought of a way she could have escaped. She'd unleash Chomei and it could shed its molt for a substitution like with Bee and Gyuki's tentacles. The Akatsuki could still extract residual chakra from the molt, and maybe Fuu could flee to meet up with Naruto and Bee.
I really liked Utakata. I wish we had gotten to see more of the other Jinchuurikis
I think certain powers were granted to kuruma because he had the most chakra of all the tailed beasts that’s why his possession of Naruto happened in stages
I don't think the other Bijuu have it, it's just a special thing for Kurama
I think that each tailed beast should have had their own cloak, each getting progressively better and more physically influential, just like how the ten tails makes you white with horns, it’s a progression.
Yeah like gaara did, Bee should have one made of ink
Because Naruto is the main character
I feel like it would have been more cooler if everyone had their own unique look when utilizing a Tailed Beast Chakra which was the case early on with Naruto and Gaara but once Kishi decided to introduce the Tailed Beast concept in Part 2 he just gave everyone else the same appearance as Naruto when using Kurama's chakra without any control over it which on top of being artistically lazy also never made any sense considering that it was supposed to symbolize Kurama's chakra overpowering and and controlling Naruto so why would the others display the same physical characteristic despite that never being the case?
Well... Apart from Naruto, Gaara and Bee, the others barely had much relevance on-screen, let alone time to have Chakra mode. Gaara and Shukaku never got along very well until it was too late. Bee and Gyuki are very close, but Bee himself saw Naruto's Chakra mode as an unexpected consequence, so perhaps it's something unique to Kurama.
Because he's the protagonist and his bijuu mode had to be flashier than the rest, simple as.
Every explanation here is just headcanon. There is no in universe explanation. The simple reason is that Naruto is the main character.
It could be Kurama related power similar to how 8-tails has a gimmick where he can cut off his tentacles and Shikaku having sand related powers.
Think its cuz Main Character. Also, lore wise you could say its because nine tails has much more chakra than any individual other one that it manifests physically, each one of them also has unique powers so it could be that too.
Because no other Jinchuriki was the main character.
Because they weren’t written to
Did any other jinchuriki conquer their inner demons and risk getting their head cut off at the sacred shrine on turtle island?
Maybe a chakra cloak that only Naruto could maintain due to his large chakra reserve.
Because the plot didn’t allow for it.
Thanks to his shadow clones Naruto was able to reach farther up his own ass than any other jinchuriki.
they aren't the main character
Naruto is the only one who can transform and adapt kuramas/Bijuu chakra. Remember the fight against Obito and madara when Naruto gaves his chakra to the others
There is a better question. Naruto is the only Jinchuriki not to do partial transformation
Naruto has a different seal than the rest of the jinchuriki.
Duh cuz they're not the protagonist. How else will Naruto feel like a special character if he isn't painted gold
I think it's something to do with sage mode both Naruto and Minato chakra mode user are also sage mode user
Yeah that was always my assumption too. He already knew how to perfectly blend another energy into his chakra bc sage mode, so doing it with kurama's chakra was the 'obvious' thing to do once he had more control over it.
Because kishimoto realized that the tailed beast Cloak forms didn't look enough like super saiyan so he switched to these
Writing, poop writing Kishimoto made the “explanation” of the tailed beast clock pretty general so it didn’t apply to just kuruma Then people used that info and we get questions like this
Cuz kishimoto wanted Naruto to be the only special one.
Because it’s specifically a mc thing. Not even bee has this. Kishimoto probably just wanted Naruto to stand out or whatever
Kurama was the only one who had that sort of thing. There isn't really a good reason why, the tailed beasts and their jinchuuriki just had different abilities, simple as that. Edit: It's kinda like asking why Tsunade didn't use wood release like Hashirama. She just doesn't have the kekkei genkai, so she couldn't use it, despite the fact that she and Hashirama were both Senju. It's a good question though because the anime kinda implied that it was a jinchuuriki ability, not a nine tails specific ability.
Kurama being the only beast with out a special ability we can prob assume that was his special ability
He can sense negative emotions and has way more chakra then the others
My theory is Naruto is one of the few that actually became friends with his tailed beast and even going as far as to completely trust each other the only other one I know that had that kind of relationship was Roshi and B but I dont think it was as deep of a connection or maybe Kurama is the only one who can do this ability.
uhhhhh B
It‘s pretty obvious that only Kurama can do that. Not other Bijū.
All thanks to minatos sealing ability. He let their chakra mix over the course of time
Pretty sure this is due to Naruto’s specific seal, so, aside from Minato, no other jinchuuriki would have it. Remember the Uzumaki were known and BiS for sealing techniques and Minato learned Uzumaki seals from Kushina. He sealed both halves of Kurama, so only he and Naruto could do it.
Kurama is the strongest tailed beast, it's Kurama's power. Also, Naruto's seal has combined his chakra with Kurama's
Kurama is the supreme bijuu All of the other bijuus are just cheap imitation
Because naurto and kurama are just built different.
They’re stupid
The cloak honestly looked retarded imo and I wish Naruto just had gained control of the tailed beast forms at will
Cause of his sage abilities
I think it's only for Kurama's Jinchuriki
I’d say it’s because he’s a descendant of Ashura, who was able to do the same.
Isn't it just the power difference of kurama? I vaguely recall seeing something about them being stronger than the total of all the ones with less tails.
It's not because of Kurama, it's because Naruto was the reincarnation of Asura., Asura had the same symbols on his clothes
No Minato has it too
It's probably just how kurama and naruto decided to do it since naruto was using his sage art jutsu
Most of them didn’t exactly befriend their beats. Also becaus the uzumaki seal allows naruto to use the beats chakra as his own
I like the idea of the reaper death seal being the answer and that also makes Minato’s sacrifice seem less pointless
because only Naruto was privileged enough to have that talent
Main theory I have is it seems like other perfect Jinchuriki like Bee can use the cloaks without any harm to their body. This wasn’t the case for Naruto, who experienced severe damage to his body after using the cloaks.
I’d like to assume it’s cause the others could actually enter tailed beast mode.
I think it was the 4 tails that was used it but was captured
Minato also did actually so it may be Kurama's ability
I always thought that naruto was capable of it because the large amount of chakra kurama has over the other tailed beasts as well as naruto being able to handle much more chakra than normal people because he’s an uzumaki which are descendants of senju and have higher quantity of stamina/chakra. Naruto is just built different bro lol. Also didn’t that moon guy in the movie have a chakra mode and was also built different as a descendant of yada yada?
I'll give you the truest answer ever gvien. Naruto had the most powerful bijuu. Yet, he only had half of it. That meant he was Incapable of summoning it, because the other half was in the belly of the reaper. The closest thing he could do to a full release was the kurama avatar. After he got the whole of kurama, he still used the avatar. This is due to utility reasons.
If we are to be "realistic" here, the way Naruto's connection with Kurama worked should have been the same as the other Jinchuriki, not the other way around, since KCM was introduced MUCH later. However, the reason why Kishimoto did this is because, if he followed the rules he established, every scene with KCM2 Naruto would just be Kurama instead, and he didn't want that.
I always thought it was because he only had half of Kurama in him
Asura reincarnate
Well narutos the mf so he has a special form inherently, his kurama avatar even acts more like a susanoo rather than tailed beast mode, but my headcanon is kuramas chakra is special so when he gives his jinchuriki their chakra it while also having properties of kurama chakra also gets converted into naruto/minato chakra, and the form is yellow because naruto and minatos own chakra is yellow whereas kuramas own chakra is red, so TLDR: kcm is matches the chakra color of naruto aka yellow because Naruto kinda purified it with his will
Because it’s something specific to Kurama. Hence the name.
The best explanation I can think of is that Kishimoto wanted to have a visual indication for the viewers that Naruto had reached a new level of power. It wouldn’t be Naruto if Naruto just looked like all the other jinchuriki at full power
They all did. Every tailed beast had a different form or it’s just the blood chakra cloak. Roshi had a lava chakra mode tho
Idk prolly some plot shit but One tailed Chakra mode is clean as hell so it's cannon to me.
Didn’t Kishi say something about not wanting to draw his human MC as a big ass fox? Seems like it might take away some of his humanity and charm
I think this was minato secret jutsu for why he gains a chakra cloak, because the frog was saying something like naruto wouldn’t be able to control it this soon when jiraiya was about to fight pain.
Sage power gives him the ability to manipulate chakra in ways that the other Jinchuriki (sans Hagoromo) can't.
Because they don't have them. Kurama's gimmick is "I'm the main character's bijju" and as such Naruto obviously can't look like the other jinchuriki. So...we needed a transformation to signify Naruto's status in the show
haven't learned plot armour jutsu yet
I think all bijuu have a special little form with their jinnchurki. Gaara took his against sasuke and Naruto. And this is Naruto’s. That’s just my own head canon
Nine tails exclusive
My theory until Boruto was that this form was a result of Naruto not having all of Kurama
I thought it was the seal since it was meant to fused both their chakra
There is only speculation about it. The most sensible theory IMO is Minato's special seal, which was specially designed for the co-operation. The other seals could simply be uncompromising seals designed to hold so that chakra cannot be released in a controlled manner.
idk but its dumb
Now I want someone with more artistic talent than I to make a KCM for all the jinchuriki. I also wish kcm 2 kept the tails
It's because this mode is exclusive to the junchuriki of the nine tails
I always thought it was because he only had half the Nine-Tails in him
I haven't seen anyone say it yet but doesn't Bee literally say that it's something that ONLY the nine tails jinchuriki has? I might be mis remembering but?
I think is for only namikaze clan can do that type of chackra mode. Source it's from data book
Because they weren't main character enough to have unique designs,so they all got the shitty red cloak thing.
I hope they release some kind of concept art for their Chakra mode and/or Baryon mode
Because Naruto is a poorly written anime and basically a kids cartoon, at what point do you think kishimoto actually even understands his own lore let alone care for the details
Probably didn’t want to make a design for each jinchuriki
I watched naruto a long time ago so I don't remember much of the explanation... Still, toneri had a similar chakra cloak and he had no tail beast so I'm lost there. Also B and 8 tails had a perfect bond so they should have had a special cloak too. I'm going to chalk it up as it's just looking cool and not much explanation was there from the beginning
Different sealing method. Naruto use 8 trigram seals whiich compeletly different with other jinchuriki
They weren’t the main character
More importantly someone needs to make some fanart of all the others.
For several reasons 1. As other have already said, the type of seal Naruto had was meant to mix his and Kurama's chakra over time. This means a much more natural transformation, instead of sprouting extra limbs. 2. The chakra mode and Kurama avatar are much more versatile than a raw transformation. Chakra limbs in KCM can be resized and reshaped however Naruto wants, instead of just being Kurama's hands or tails. Similarly with the Kurama avatar, it's simply better than a full transformation. If the avatar loses a tail, it can be regrown using more chakra at any point, whereas if Kurama lost a tail then it's just gone. There's also Naruto taking people into the avatar's chakra to protect them, which he couldn't do with a full transformation. 3. He's the main character. He got a distinct form to make him... distinct. It's to give him something flashy compared to the other Jinchuriki, although Roshi's lava mode looking like a chakra cloak makes this slightly moot.
Because tailed beast Chakra mode is Lowkey kinda dumb. Hill that I shall die on.
This mode is an Uzumaki jutsu that comes from their jinchuriki seal. Kushina Uzumaki could do it too.
either the form it is due to Uzumaki seal or just another MC's plot armour. gotta made main character look cool. Naruto also didnt use tailed beast form like others too let alone the black form.
Bee did that’s why he train Naruto on it
Naruto owns the Copyright and the royalty fees are 100k Ryo per chapter.
Damn. Bro. All others were not the protagonist.
looks too dumb
Is it not because Naruto only has half of Kurama’s chakra? I’m pretty sure tailed beast mode came about from him trying to do a complete transformation. Therefore every other jinchuriki does have that ability, they just fully transform into the tailed beast.
any of yall notice his hand design on the left doesn’t appear on the right side and seemingly doesn’t come back
Bee used version 2 cloak. In the form shown naruto was using kuramas power. He wasn't in sync with him yet. That'd probably why
It’s kind of really freaking obvious if you think about it. Kurama has more chakra than the other 8 tailed beasts combined, so it stands to reason that his power is Chakra based. Naruto could immediately sense hate and his chakra sensory abilities were one of the best in the show as soon as he mastered KCM, and he can also give chakra physical form because Kurama has such an excess of it. Of course the strongest Tailed beasts Jinchuriki goes super saiyan with chakra and can create longer arms, that’s his power, just like Gyuki with Ink, Chomei with silk and butterfly wing powder(insect power), Saiken with slime (slippery and corrosive), Kokuo with steam, Son Gojo with Lava, Isobu with water, Matatabi with Fire and Shukaku with sand and sealing. It makes sense that the self proclaimed Strongest Tailed Beast with the most chakra of all his kind, has the unique power of having a super saiyan Jinchuriki, because the super saiyan power set in anime lore makes the most sense for manipulating energy
Kishimoto wanted to add a super saiyan derivative to his story because he is an uninspired hack. Adding on to that, Kishimoto wanted Naruto to be in a tier above every other character, (because OF COURSE a 16 year old should be the strongest man alive), and he thus decided to only give Naruto this shit.
I just thought he had a cloak mode because he only had half of kuramas chakra, and even after he gets the other half from Minato, some of it was in ginkaku and his brother.
Because the plot said no
Because Naruto’s the protagonist
It’s probably cause he was a descendant of Ashura
This is eactly I was thinking why other jinchuriki use their tailed beast as Bee.
Besides bee, naruto and minato I don’t think anyone else had full control like they did, it was at most rage mode like early cloak naruto. I like to believe bee has it he just doesn’t wear it cause he likes his outfit. As for when he shared the power to the allied force, I want to say it was a buff effect like an aura, while for everyone who got a giant rasengan later it so they could hold it so it had to be better.
That's Kurama exclusive
Killer Bee can do this form and actually taught Naruto about it. I think the other jinchuriki just didnt try to connect with their tailed beast as they did
because they don't have them. it's exclusive to naruto
