Clarification On The 1st And 2nd Hokage

[Jakob]

Nidaime is 2nd Hokage if I remember right, but what was the 1st again?

[itachi_]

Sandaime.

[Jakob]

That's what I thought. Thanks

[Gods_Son]

Sandaime is the third, Shodaime is the first.

[Jakob]

Now i'm even more confused. oO

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

Ni= two. San= three, Yon=4.
And that is as far as my knowledge of Nihongo goes.
Somebody should be able to explain Sho and daime for you.
HTH

[itachi_]

I'm really sorry, I saw episode 69 again, he says shodaime, sorry..

[Haku no Fuyu]

Sho = FIRST
Ni = Second or two
San = Third or three
Yon = Fourth of four
Go = Fifth or five

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

Roku= six
sorry couldn't help myself...i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif
Well, not a waste, since Naruto will be the Rokudaime...

[Haku no Fuyu]

Fish = Sakana
Apple = Ringo
Sake = What I'm drinking right now...

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

Those I know.
Don't get me started with asking...i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif
Would be less work than: (insert word here) Japanese word meaning + enter
Though the Kanji site I go sucks... they didn't tell me that yu also meant hot water. Grrr.

BTW, Jacob, why did you put a pic of Genma with the name of Hayate?

[jonny-mt]

The First is just Shodai; not Shodaime. Me (the standard kanji for 'eye' here) is an addition to a number that means the "th" (i.e. go-me=5th), but when you use this method of counting (number + dai + me [except first]; used to indicate succession of a line), you skip it for the first since you're not actually using a number ('Sho' is another reading of a kanji meaning start or beginning). Then it goes Nidaime, Sandaime, Yondaime, Godaime...Infinitybilliondaime....

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

I wrote your name wrong, see? I apologize i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Jakob]

It'll take more than that to knock my self esteem down. i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Insomniac]

Sarutobi is the name of the 3rd hokage, we dont know the actual names of the 1st or 2nd, or kazekage.
we may never know

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

The burning questions are... is the 3rd Asuma Sarutobi's daddy or related to him?
Is Konohamaru Asuma's kid? Stay tunned...

[lasaire]

Neji-aniki, I started a whole thread about that and got some pretty good discussion. Look for it, and check out what people think.

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

Couldn't find it i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[lasaire]

Asuma-sensei thread (http://forums.gotwoot.net/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=7913&highlight_k ey=y&keyword1=asuma)

I searched for it and found it for you. Four pages of nice Asuma-sensei discussion, have at it!

[Neji-Aniki-sama]

Sorry, I should have searched... I am kinda new here, yanno...
Thanks so much.
Wow, you're an Asuma specialist. Kewl...nice research work...

[spectre270]

The second is more powerful than the first in my opinion

[lasaire]

Do you base this knowledge on the anime or the manga? I think the total opposite.

[Gods_Son]

yea, the first seemed more impressive with his "herculean" strength and the secret jutsu that created the woods.

[lasaire]

Don't forget, that while in the anime the Second used the Bringer of Darkness genjutsu, in the manga it was actually the First who did it. First is definately stroner.
