analytic sheet of Kuroari

PLEASE READ MY COMMENT, IF U WANT TO UNDERSTAND MY DRAWING!!!

And sorry if there are TONS of grammer and spelling-mistakes. I don´t like critics, but it´s better if u can report me of some, so I can edit it.

Here are the other puppets.

Yeah..I planned a little project some time ago. I wanted to draw EACH ( and I mean REALLY EACH) part, detail or what else od Kankuro´s beloved marionettes. So I designed three "analytic sheets" of each puppet, after I scanned/tracked EACH episode of Naruto, where they appers MORE than just a second...

General points of the beautiful art of puppeteering:

Common jutsus, which Kankuro has used:
“Kugutsu-no-jutsu” = “ Puppet controll technique” or “Master´s puppet jutsu”
“Karakuri engeki” = Puppet performance/play” or “Mechanical theatre”
“Kuro higiki ippatsu” = “Black secret technique one strike/shot”
“Kuro higiki nihatsu” = “Black secret technique two strikes/shots” or “Two secret black ceremonies” (only seen in Naruto Movie 2)
“Dokugiri Zuyoku, Baribari shikaku Renpatsu” = “ Poison fog, blind spot destroyer”

Advantages of this Jutsu:
The user won´t get into battle trouble so often, because his/her puppets are doing the work WITHOUT pain. The enemy has difficulties to come closer to the puppeteer, beacuse he keep distance with help of his/her puppets.
Genjutsus or other "sense or body manipulating"-jutsus don´t have an effect on puppets, because they don´t really live. With help of a similiar looking body-replacement jutsu, the user can switch the own place with the puppet´s one. It´s a good way to escape from close rank battles.

Disadvantages of this Jutsu:
If the user isn´t inside of a puppet, he/she must hide somewhere else, because of needing concentration to controll the puppet/the puppets. So it´s a middle upto long distance battly-type. The puppeteer normally get into trouble in close distance battles.
If his/her puppet are destroyed, he/she is nearly totally defenceless now, because most of the puppeteers have only concentrated on THIS jutsu-type.

And NOW I´m coming to Kuroari´s analysis:

Name: Kuroari (as known as “Black Ant”, the trapping/capturing puppet or Kanakuro´s second puppet)

Master: Sasori, Kankuro
Creator: Sasori

Height: Around 1,60 meters compared to Kankuro´s bodysize.

Weight: medium (able to carry without a scroll)

Main-appearience in the episodes: 125, 217, 218, Naruto Movie 2, Shippuuden 8-9

Abilities: (I sepereated them into the bodyparts)

Head: It´s not known if Kuroari´s head has weapons installed inside…

Torso: This is more or less the MOST important part of Kuroari. This barrel-like trap can capure an enemy so he/she can´t escape from Karasu´s LAST stike. The six wooden parts can be opened or/and closed by iron-like hinges. They´re also expandable in a stange way for an easier trapping of the victim. The torso has seven slots, where Karasu´s blades sink into then to finish of the enemy from the interior of Kuroari.
An other method of Kuroari, which is ONLY seen in Naruto Movie 2 are four tiny blades, which runs through Kuroari´s body, when an enemy is trapped in to this puppet. So with this technique no other puppet (like Karasu) is needed anymore.

Arms and hands: Unlike Karasu, Kuroari hasn´t so many hidden weapons. But some poisoned senbon-needles and tiny saw-blades in each part still makes Kuroari pretty dangerous.
So the opponent should better avoid tight “hugs”, or he/she will be sloughted by Kuroari.
The hands are more claws with four talons on each claw. So Kuroari can better grap a victim and stuff him/her into itself.

Legs and feets: Kuroari stands on its feets more animal-like on the toes. The legs are also more bended than Karasu´s ones. Maybe it´s to withstand the weight of the victim, if Kuroari carrys one.

Weakpoints: If the victim still carry a stong weapon, when he/she is in Kuroari, he/she´s able to break through Kuroari and becomes free. Strong hits in the torso or/head finally let Kuroari break.
