  • Casting
    • Casting Utsusemi: Ni will overwrite any remaining Utsusemi shadows with a new set of shadows.
    • Casting Utsusemi: Ichi will not overwrite shadows remaining from Utsusemi: Ni. Utsusemi: Ni will not overwrite shadows from Utsusemi: SanVerification Needed.
  • Updates
    • Due to an update, Utsusemi makes the NIN or /NIN lose a very small amount of hate with each shadow taken.
    • As of the June 21, 2010 update, the Utsusemi icon will have the number of shadows remaining in lower right hand corner, however there is no icon denotation for 5 shadows. Casting Utsusemi: Ni with Iga Kyahan +2 will still display the shadows remaining as "4+."Verification Needed

Translation[edit]

  • Utsusemi means "Cicada", an insect that sheds a brittle, lifelike shell. It's a rather artistic meaning when one considers the spells' use.
  • The tool for this spell, "Shihei", means paper soldier. This alludes, presumably, to a paper decoy.
  • "Utsusemi" can also be translated roughly into being able to transfer something. In this case, the something is damage. "Shihei" or "toy soldiers" is the item used to transfer the damage.
  • "Utsusemi" can also be translated to "Projection." Which makes sense to the Ninjutsu since you "project" three to four images of yourself to protect yourself.
