What the hell, Pakkun?!

[Syndactyly]

Okay, I thought Pakkun was a real pervert, or something. He told Shikamaru, "Touch my paws, they're soft." Shikamaru hesitated. I looked for this in the manga but it appears it only happened in the anime. Because in the manga Pakkun decided to bite Shikamaru a few times instead... far more rewarding. But it also seems the version I was reading was missing a page. Maybe not.

An explanation from Wikipedia.

When first summoned to lead Sakura, Naruto, and Shikamaru to Sasuke, Shikamaru refuses and Pakkun tells him if he completes this mission he will let him touch the pads on his feet. He claims they are really soft and bouncy.

I just don't get it. He has PADS on his feet? Or are his paws super bouncy so he can jump really far? It all sounds really fishy. I was hoping it was some kind of cruel joke. But now it looks like Pakkun wasn't lying.

Well? xd :

All dogs have pads on their feet. I don't get it.  

[puzzleman]

it is so they won't cut themselves,the pads are very strong ,just in case the step on a sharp stone or run over a bunch of rocks,they are also very rough so they can't slip with they are running

Well? xd :

What Pakkun MEANT to say was "Shikamaru touch my balls" but he got nervous. Kishimoto told me that too.

I know they have paws. But do they call them pads?

And why would pads be bouncy? And why would Pakkun ask Shikamaru to touch them if they weren't unusual? Why would Shikamaru hesitate like it was the Ebola Virus?

:ROFL:

Pakkun stuttered because Shikamaru was already touching mine. redface

@ puzzleman: Thanks for that info! surprised  

[churrlo]

Well it's true that all dogs have "pads" on their feet. Most dogs have these to protect their feet when walking, and can be seen obviously by just looking at their foot.

This is just a theory, but well most dogs have rough "pads", and they are rather hard.... perhaps Pakku was just stating that his "pads" were not like other dogs, they were actually soft and bouncy. I'm not sure why he'd tell Shikamaru to touch them, but that's all I got sweatdrop

The pads are the squishy things on the bottom of the paws. Like um, on puppies they're pink and stuff.

The paw itself is the equivalent of a human foot, and the pads are particularly tough patches of skin on the bottom of the paw. Cats have them too, and various other animals. Normally they're just skin that's hardened to prevent their paws from being cut open on stones or sharp things. I think they're just "bouncy" because they give, obviously because they have the dog's full weight on them all the time.

I don't get it either. I wrote it off as a moment of weirdness.  

[churrlo]

Well maybe he offered it to intice him in some manner o.o Most dogs don't have soft and bouncy "pads" so it might be a special honor to get to touch them xd

ninja Pakkun is awesome. He is my favorite summon. ninja

Question answered.

That's just WEIRD, though. Bouncy? Soft and bouncy? Sounds like Tsunade.

No really. If these "pads" are usually tough portions of skin... Why did Pakkun... D:

@ Chuurlo: OH YEAH BECAUSE SHIKAMARU WANTS THE HONOR OF TOUCHING A DOG'S FOOT. xd  

[churrlo]

xd Well maybe it's a rare treat for dogs to have soft and bouncy pads!!! xd
