About this converter

The tailed beasts count 1 to 10 tails in Kishimoto order. Shukaku holds 1, Matatabi 2, Isobu 3, Son Goku 4, Kokuo 5, Saiken 6, Chomei 7, Gyuki 8, Kurama 9 and the Ten-Tails 10. That makes the Ten-Tails equal ten Shukakus of tails. Tails track chakra bulk loosely, never duel results, stated plainly. Every figure here is the canon beast number.
