>>281896988RE-ENTER Kankuro
>>281896879Seriously, why the fuck doesn't he react at all to getting his arm ripped off? This is so retarded, lmao.
>>281896879>he pours chakra into the sandGaara? GENTLE'd by Neji's FIST.
>>281896879>>281896932Why doesn't he shrink the sand ball to have sand to attack without having to litterally open a hole in his defences?
>>281897122As far as we know only things created by chakra can't stand up to gentle fist, not things controlled by it.
gaaras scent is all over it
>>281897211Would Gaara still say this if he knew the worst Naruto has experienced was people calling him stinky?
>>281896879This is all it took for Deidara to get tired?
>>281897066Characters tank limbs being cut off now.
!!!Has the power creep officially begun?
>>281896879With his arm liquefied like that he really should be on a timer before he dies of blood loss.>>281897301Not tired, just too lazy to bring in most of his tools.
>>281897306You mean in the last arc with Sakon and Kimimaro.
>>281896879>>281897370So, Deidara doesn't create clay on the fly?
>>281897373They had the excuse of regeneration at least. Deidara doesn't.
>>281897369nahh this is only a little better than rasengan
>>281897401Maybe later but for not his clay art pieces take a bit of setup time.
>>281897391Should've left this on a cliffhanger with this >>281897369
>>281897327>C3 chakrathere's categories or whatever for it now?
>>281896879>Almost out of clay>>281897327>>281897369>can use his prize masterpieceshouldn't a trump card be more costly than this?
I cant believe gaara got outplayed
>>281897401No. He buys the clay.
>>281897443>Gaara is tiredFFS Shukaku, help your host or something.
Deidara no diffs Rock Lee
>>281897526This confirms Shino had a good chance against Gaara
I remember Gaara blasting Deidara with a giant Shukaku-shaped head in Storm 2.
>>281897604I seem to recall deidara almost no diffing the entirety of team 10 and team 7 if not for shartmui
>>281897604*armless Deidara no diffs Lee
Chapter 249: The Kazekage Stands Tall...!!ENDTomorrow: New Squad, First Mission!!
>>281897066He's too unfathomable for that.
>>281897642Deidara fought team guy, not team 10.
The rest of the village is fucking useless.
>>281897661WHY DIDN'T ANYONE ELSE HELP!?!?
>>281897661This chapter was really good, I like the tactics and brevity of it>>281897678Sorry I mix up the irrelevant teams, I forgot which number guys team is
>>281897604Deidara no diffs anyone that isn’t kage level
>>281897560>>281897661How did this knock out Gaara?
>>281897713Temari is the only one who'd useful in this situation and she's busy with Kishimoto's self-insert
>>28189773710 10 is on that team so it's an easy mixup if you have her on your mind
>>281897482It's explosives.
>>281897443>>281897526>喝 (KATSU)>YEEAAGHwhat a weird translation. sure, trying to convey the full significance of zen monk scolding shouts might be hard, but they could have tried to keep at least some meaning
>>281897526Why doesn't he crush the clay dolls, it isn't like he can't manipulate the sand just because it's a sphere around him.
>>281897713Sasori murdered the entire outside defense black ops group and a tactical nuke was fighting the kage, what do you want them to do besides die horribly?
>>281897713Bakibros we just stood there..Where are all the elite sand jonin...
>>281897737Kishimoto only gave numbers to Naruto's classmates, the rock lee spin off made them cell #13 though, so i guess there's that.
>>281897661Thank you OP.Why isn't anyone using wind jutsu (they are the land of wind) to attack him, now that he exhausted his clay it should be easier, was Sasori that efficent?
>>281897713Oh there are other sand ninja?
>>281897787Oh, THAT "C3". Well how the hell do you make that out of chakra. And why 3 and not C4
>>281897788They could do the crazy thing and keep it as is.It's a very specific thing that can't be translated, so you can just leave it. Maybe even with an explanation at the end of a volume.Some other language translations did exactly that.
>>281897810I dunno, distract Deidara for Gaara to counter attack him????Have him use chakra to defend himself from their attacks?
>>281897851>was Sasori that efficent?Sasakoi hypnotized all the ninjas when they were in the womb in preparation for this moment.
>>281897780We love them
>>281897870C4 is a different type of exploding clay jutsu he uses later
>>281897767>Temari must be kept away, lest she destroy Deidara with the WEASEL
>>281897122Yeah, can wait to see Neji development in Part 2! hahahaha....
>>281897943that thing should be the new kazekage now that gaaras dead
>>281897557This. He stops at Hobby Lobby before every match.
>>281897443YEEAAGH
>>281897766combination of low chakra and bad physical damage?
>>281897098>>281897172>>281897211>>281897241How did he went from a little serial killer to a qt little puppie in such a short time?
Anyone thinks Gaara feels way less durable here? Bro tanked being pinballed by Lee, penetrated and cut by Chidori, bombed by Leaf explosive and gang lynched by Naruto and needed a giant toad + fox chakra to be taken care off.But now, a few explosives that don't even fully get through his sand skin are enough to one shot him??? It's jarring when you consider that Deidara just shrugs off getting his arm ripped apart.
No wonder these sand kage get assassinated all the time. Their opsec and security SUCK
>>281898078The problem is Gaara isn't leeching power from the tailed beast in this fight for some reason
>>281898078Retarded power levels based on the current plot alone? Kishimoto would never.
Is Suna the weakest village?
>>281898081I'd use this as an opportunity to make fun of the sand village, but until the 4th war being kage came with a hundred percent mortality rate in general
>>281898078deidara can casually nuke a village, man
I'm a few chapters too early but it makes no fucking sense that Naruto would lose his arm to Sasuke in the end. By then he should have been the strongest guy in the fucking world and able to beat Uke without even trying but no, Kishi had to go for some gay ass symbolism and make them slam their attacks into eachother's so they both lose their arms but gain back their friendship. So fucking lame. The biggest problem with Naruto is that Naruto isn't the MC but shares that spot with Sasuke.
>>281898162GOATruzen was enjoying retirement before Minato “fastest term alive” offed himself fighting the nine tails. Being ninja leader is hard
>>281898078I think the idea is just to not waste time on this fight and get the plot moving, which, having come off of Sasuke Rescue that seems to have been cut short on the battle, I think would check out.So you're left with "Deidara is just so strong he can one-shot a Kage"
>>281898125Honestly, why isn't Shukaku helping? I can excuse the Kimimaro fight because Gaara was only at actual danger in the end, but like, Gaara is being casually transported to go knows where, doesn't Shukaku mind dying for a few years?
The most absurd thing about Deidara's arms is that he just stitch new ones anyway, i'm pretty sure most of the story will act like medicine that reach that far enough for Deidara's shit to be possible without kekkei genkai.
>>281898450*hasn't reached
>>281898286Why the Rush already? This is the beginning of the arc?
>>281898250Anon, Sasuke had 8 1/2 tailed beasts to draw chakra from, the rinnegan and the eternal mangekyo, Naruto had just half of Kurama and the sage mode, Sasuke went comically bad in that fight.
>>281898543Why don't you consider being fucking useful!?!?
>>281898541Ah. Well shit. But seriously though, why the fuck does a side character have that much shit in his pocket? Like, did Kishi forget the name he put on the manga? As I said, the fact Naruto isn't really the MC is the worst thing about this manga.
>>281898286>>281898514>The fight that leads to Gaara's death is barely worth 2 chapters but Choji having a tennis match with Jirobo deserved its own volume
>>281897369So deidara could do what pain did but without the 5 minute cooldown
>>281897066he does look pretty worried while his arm is trapped in the animecurrently rewatching it across eps 4 and 5 and it was a lot more exciting when i was like 14 for sure
>>281897713Just like how everyone just watched naruto take on pain kek
>>281898667Kishimoto got tired of Naruto by the end of part 1.Honestly, I feel like Yahagi's last demand as Kishi's editor before leaving was "hey, Uh can you focus on Naruto a bit? He hasn't felt like the main character since part 1".
>>281898742At least, in that instance pain was essentially an unkillable robot with gallons of chakra, Deidara is still a human in comparison.
>>281897943HENyuyabros...
OP?
CHADomaru? Would snipe Deidara from miles away.
>>281898756It's so fucking lame. Part 1 was so good. Then Kishi had to fuck it up by making the main guy feel like a side character from the start of part 2. He really is a bad writer, he got lucky the manga got too big to fail.
>>281898667Because at some point he decided Uchiha needed to be the only thing worthy of focus.
Couldn't Sasuke have just used his rinnegan to summon this thing and restore his arm after his fight with Naruto?
>>281898983Funny thing is, a good amount of shounen nowadays are going through that route where after a while the MC takes a backseat for the side characters to "expand the world", however, they all seem to be doing this much better than Kishimoto did.
>>281898997The gayest of clans getting the biggest of focus.I'll never find it not funny when he did the whole "the Uchiha are the clan of love" thing. So fucking lame.
>>281899067I'm pretty sure it's a form of atonement, like his wandering in search of threats, he could also use the asura arm to grow robo-limbs, if he wanted
>>281899067He doesn't want it, he must atone!
>>281899128I didn't read any new shonen honestly so I can't say. Hell, giving spotlight to other characters isn't even a bad thing really. Kishi did it terribly though. Part 2 Ruto is one of the worst MCs I've seen.
>>281899202>Part 2 Ruto is one of the worst MCs I've seen.I don't mind Naruto being more absent throughout the story as much as I mind him being an absolute moron with terrible goals and motivations, like his obsession with Sasuke, or how, when other characters try to call out his retardation, he just goes "nuh-uh" and the story treats him like he's in the right.
>>281899348Exactly. Right from the start, he came back still dumb without even learning anything new. His whole shtick throughout part 2 is his Sasuke obsession. He doesn't even learn any new moves throughout, the only move he created needed two clones to power it and it got his arm all fucked up and the only reason he could beat the bad guys are the op stuff like sage and kyubi modes. So stupid.
Real talk, legitimately, what's stopping Pain/Nagato from learning Deidara's jutsu himself and just sending undercover shadow clones or brainwashed Sasori spies into each village and using Deidara's nukes himself to achieve his goal of MAD? The tongue mouths are probably kekkei genkai, but infusing clay with chakra can surely be done in other ways, right?
>>281899067It doesn't work like that, otherwise Nagato would have fixed his legs with it. The only other explanation is that it was an oversight by Kishimoto, which is extremely.unlikely
>>281899467no, you need hand spit
>>281899457Kishi didn't spend any time thinking creatively on what Naruto should've learned in 2 years. BIGGER RASENGAN feels like something he could come up with alone. Jiraiya should've taught him chakra natures and at least started him on Sagehood, and the rapid-learning from Shadow Clones would've been picked up on way before Kakashi did. It's all hindsight because he obviously didn't come up with traveling to Mt. Myoboku/SM itself until much later, but on paper it looks like he did nothing in all that time.
>>281899544Yeah, true.
>>281899593Meant for >>281899494
>>281899467Given the way people trade eyeballs I would be very surprised if you couldn't just hack off Deidara's arms and attach them to yourself if you wanted the mouths.
>>281897211>He never actually went through anything as traumatic and mind destroying as I have but we can kinda relate to each other over being lonely I guess…
>>281897241What a good and supportive big brother Kankuro is. I sure hope nothing bad happens to him and Gaara in this arc.
>>281897369Did Deidara use this against Sasuke? I don’t remember.
Its pretty funny as they get further along you genuinely just have to ignore all the shit writing in bleach, naruto, OP and DBZ. No idea how people think milking manga to be over 250 chapters is a good thing. All of these series suffered narratively by stretching out every plot point. But they sold millions of copies so whatever.
>>281897443Gaara’s face in the middle is actually priceless, just look at the poor bastard.
>>281899826Some manga do it better than others.Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Bleach are not those manga.
>>281897391Gaara’s two fangirls from the anime should be here instead.
>>281898078Anon, Gaara literally used most of his power in order to protect Suna, and then even more in order to make sure that massive wave of sand wasn’t dropped on everyone. This just feels nitpicky at this point.
>>281899826DB suffered narratively for sure but at least the action was always top notch, so there was always something appealing about the manga
>>281898065Gaara was made into a sociopath due to neglect and abuse throughout his entire life. His entire personality was a reaction to his actually horrible childhood. But that's never who he wanted to be, it's who he thought he had to be to survive. Even when he had ultimate power he was still mentally trapped. But once Naruto got through to him he stopped living in survival mode and decided to become the person he wanted to be as seen here in his conversation with kankuro.
>>281899880Kishimoto has no idea what to do with female characters and constantly just increases power levels. Thats a problem all 4 mangaka have though. >>281900002Yeah the choreography in DB is probably the only reason i read it. Like there's nostalgia there but whenever something plot related happens it's easier to roll your eyes and move on.
I'm going to be real, I can't imagine anyone ever picking up DB for the story or narrative. It was always just a vehicle to get to the next funny moment or fight, even back in OG Dragon Ball when it was still a borderline gag manga half the time like Dr. Slump.
>>281900002DB was the only one of the bunch with a narrative that didn't fall apart if you thought about it for more than 5 seconds.
>>281897211>Share bonds with people isnt weakness is strength>>281897526>>281897560>>281897661Loses because of it KISHIMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTO!!!!
it’s almost like there’s no actual good shonen>but-lol wrong
>>281900110>I'm going to be real, I can't imagine anyone ever picking up DB for the story or narrative.I’ve never understood this take because when something like this is actually true, you end up with shit like Jeet Leveling that has literally zero staying power because nobody actually cared beyond it being the “current thing”, like the only reason why people even like Super Saiyan is because it’s coming from a story that people actually got invested in>>281900221Danke OP
>>281898676The argument can be made that Chouji's fight being so long led to the later parts of the arc to have fights that got cut abruptly.Regardless of if that's true or not, it's funny to say that Gaara getting one shot was the fat fucks fault.
>>281899144Does Sasuke actually have any Path powers? He just has the nature manipulation and his own unique spacetime technique, right?
I can't believe the kazekage got kidnapped. What's the sand gonna do to get out of this mess? It's not like they can go to some other village begging to do all the work for them.
>>281900243No, people got invested in the characters of DB, but never the story. Which, even for OG DB started to become formulaic around the time of the RRA saga. Like, even the Freiza saga(which is the best arc of all DB) is just fundamentally the same as the first arc of the series in which they try to stop the big asshole from getting the dragon balls and taking over/destorying Earth.
>>281900395He uses chibaku tensei and the preta path chakra absorbtion.
I think it’s how as people get older, they don’t actually seem to have positive new realizations about media they’ve consumed, it’s just strictly negative to the point of exaggeration and reductionism.
>>281900451that’s cause a lot of people here are really bitter and vengeful autists that don’t even remember why they liked anything to begin with
>>281899983Whatever you say Kishimoto.
>>281900221Thanks op
>>281900199>>281900221>>281897661Arigatou, OP!
kishibros we need more blind fanboyism and lazy handwaving to drive these haters away
>>281899835Yeah, that's a pretty good face kek.
What's this, a kage-level fight that doesn't last 17 chapters?
>>281900424i’m now curious if someone has an example of the opposite: a good story, but awful characters nobody likes
>>281900405Did you miss the obvious foreshadowing this chapter? Kankuro is going to get Gaara back, believe it.
>>281900132That's an usual problem, where a lot of lip service is given to the idea people have actual value, and not just the protagonist and antagonist, but then they're either worthless cheerleaders or active hindrances.
Based this off a Dragon Ball board a /vg/ anon made. It's strictly for Part 1 and 2 era stuff. I could've dug through the anime for more filler girls, but I just went with the ones I was already familiar with. I wonder how many people played Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2.
>>281900395He seals the tailed beasts in chibaku tensei and chakra drains them with preta path
>>281897211>>281897241This might be a stupid question, but this panel implies it took some time for Gaara to become Kazekage after Rasa’s death. Who do you think was the acting Kazekage during that time period?
>>281900011It is weird that Temari and Kankuro were never brought up in Gaara's flashbacks. You could say they were also terrified of him and constantly wanted to stay away from him like the rest of the kids from their village, but if that's the case, why were they so quick to accept Gaara after the Konoha's Crush, especially after years of him being a psycho?
>>281900686I don't think Kishi thought of that but it ought to be Chiyo. She's the strongest they have by far.
>>281900043>>281900110Actual shit taste.
>>281900660>Hotaru and Shiseru only 2 pointsBut those two are insane. Must be the filler girl tax
>>281899467Every time I look at this I always subconsciously think that the Sun is part of the explosion.
>>281900424>is just fundamentally the same as the first arc of the series in which they try to stop the big asshole from winning and taking over the worldThis is such a retarded and oversimplified way to describe these arcs, you could define like 95% of shounen with this description.
>>281899826Dragon Ball was better than all the Big 3 narratively though.
>>281900541>why didn’t they fly the ring to mordor
>>281900701They were briefly mentioned in his flashback, and were equally afraid of him as anyone else. As for the change of heart, they are teammates after all, and even before/during Konoha Crush, there was definitely something more than just raw fear between the three of them in the interactions we see. Like when Kankuro told him to knock the serial killer shit off for a bit so they could move onto the main tower in the Forest of Death.>>281900790Most shounen is very formulaic, yes. Especially the older stuff.
>>281899544Didn't even have to start with sage stuff that early but chakra natures definitely. And shadow clone thing too, unless he literally thought of that when he introduced it. But really, he could have just copy pasted what was known about Jiraiya at the time. Sakura got healing and super strength, two of Tsunade's signatures, and Jiraiya was well known for being a sealing master so teaching Naruto seals would have been great. And also could have bettered the basics, like helping him do a one handed rasengan or refining his fighting style a little. Then maybe some other frog summoning techniques too. But noooo let's do kyubi chakra training even though it's pointless.
>>281900713She's too old and probably doesn't give a fuck like Jiraiya. Even Temari would make more sense as a temporary pseudo kage.
>>281900809Nta, and not really, but it didn't pretend to be better than it was at least.
>>281900507Use your eyeballs to read what’s on the pages and then you use your tiny little pea brain to connect how Gaara’s actions relate to his defeat. Go on anon I know you can do it.
>>281900809It was more consistent because it never took itself that seriously but that ain't saying much.
If we’re talking about other shonen (again) then I gotta say that I don’t understand why Hunter x Hunter has such a cultist fanbase on this board specifically, it’s actually pretty good but this one specific place seems to take it to loony levels
>>281900889What Gaara does here is barely different than the sand tsunami he used on Kimimaro, you're telling me that despite becoming a kage and aging 3 years his reserves barely improved?
>>28190091480% of the time when I hear people discuss HxH here, it's usually about how shit and overrated it is.
>>281900914HxH is REALLY pretentious and doesn't shit the bed when it comes to that.
>>281900889>You have to blindly believe what the characters tell youNext you're going to say that Lee got weaker after spinal surgery.
>>281900767>Must be the filler girl taxMore or less. I tried ranking the girls by how much discussion there is about them, how much focus they get in stories (canon or otherwise), how many fanfics they tend to show up in, how much fan art or porn I usually see of them, etc. The more popular girls cost more, but that just means the hotter anime-only girls can get bought at a bargain.
>>281900914I barely touch this board beyond these threads, but I've seen more Hunter X Hunter fellatio on other sites far greater than whatever is on here, but that's just 4chan in general when it comes to popular things.
>>281900935You don’t think the fact Gaara had to block out a blast that would’ve destroyed his village has anything to do with tiring him out? Not even a little?
>>281901002Why is Hanabi 5 points? She should be down to 3 points with irrelevant girls like Yugao, Tsume, and Hana.
>>281897172>>281897211>>281897241Naruto's talk no jutsu? Unmatched!!>>281897526>>281897661Outplayed.Thanks OP!
>>281900660TsunadeSamuiTemariKonanMabuiShiseru
>>281900660For what am I building?Also I'm curious on the DB one.
>>281897979The fucking Sand would make a Ferret their Kazekage. Good lord the loses just keep piling up!!!
>>281898667Because Sasuke was such a fraud that he needed all the broken power ups just keep up with the mid tiers.
>>281898541But anon, anyone ever challenging or beating the protagonist is bad writing.
>>281897526Nice, this is similar to how Kimimaro's bone bullet reacted to Gaara's sand.
>>281901079Yeah, I probably set her too high. I swapped out a few before pointing that, so I can make some adjustments.>>281901111You have a budget of 25 points. Using that, pick which girls you want. Pic related was the Dragon Ball one.
>>281901191Obvious favouritism. How he wasn't embarrassed snubbing his MC in favour of his lame ass rival I'll never understand.
>be Suna>First Kazekage jobs to Assassins off screen>Second Kazekage convinces everyone to use puppets and then jobs to Assassins off screen>Third and best Kazekage gets captured by an Assasin and turned into a puppet>Fourth Kazekage gets his wife killed and then acts like a retard until Assassins kill him and toss him in a ditch>Fifth Kazekage and Jinchuuriki of the Shukaku your most powerful weapon gets captured by Assassins and killedWE GOTTA GET A WIN ONE OF THESE DAYS RIGHT!? RIGHT!!!!?
>>281901029Dodging the question.
>>281901362Well the fifth survived at least. Even if they needed guys from another village to save him.
>>281901362Tbf it also took Konoha until the Fifth for the Hokages to also stop dying from assassins.
>>281901410Genin granddad spinoff would have been far more interesting than boruto
>>281901410He's probably still trying to pass even in the Boruto era with his hair turning gray and balding.
>>281901410Deidara flunked out of this guy's art school
>>281901029Ideally, defense should be equally or less costful than offense, so you could use the same argument for Deidara being tired but that isn't really the case.
>>281901410I’m now imagining this guy is the Tonpa of the Chunin Exams
>>281901111Waifu Herem
>>281901440No fair, the fourth killed himself to avoid being a single father
>>281897713In the anime there are some guys here using ballistae and at least trying to help Gaara.
>>281901410>>281901442>We don't live in a timeline where the anime gave him a line so he ends up getting a name in the credits which would allow /a/nons to bot him all the way to first place in the top 99 poll and force Kishimoto to make a one shot about him
>>281901574He does have a name, actually. It's Manabu Akado.
>>281900660AnkoKonanShionFuuGurenTsumePakuraThis chart makes it really easy to see which are naruto characters and which are boruto
>>281901574Kishi should have made him the final boss. Some immortal guy fucking around on chunin exams ending up making Kaguya his puppet.

>>281902154wowee, i wonder why anko is portrayed as a psycho who would fuck a little boy
>>281902366Well, if you take Sasjeet as canon
>>281902207she hasn't gotten over her oneitis
>>281902366Isn't that characterization of hers only really there during her introduction? I remember her being pretty normal and chill during the rest of her appearances in the manga/anime.
>>281902510she only appears two other times
>>281901372You’re the only retard whose genuinely arguing the Sand Tsunami Gaara used against Kimimaro is comparable to what Gaara needed for one of Deidara’s strongest bombs. Make your case.
>>281902510she has never been near children since
>>281897122>>281897179If Neji hit Gaara with gentle fist, would it counter his sand armor or would Gaaras sand armor counter gentle fist? I think it would play out similar to Kido's sweat armor, but it's more efficient in that it covers him 24/7.
>>281899755I think Gaara was so touch starved that even a punch to the face with some kind words was enough to break him
>>281897265>HMMMMM?
>>281900660Sakura Shizune Temari KonanFuuMikoto
>>281902637How is it not?
>>281897665What if Sandro wrote Naruto?
>>281898078I think Gaara lost via chakra depletion. Deidara pointed out how he loads his special sand with large amounts of chakra, which was used to protect the village from a nuke. Then he used it again to quickly defend from an ambush. Then he was bombed inside a contained sphere, which fucked his sand armor up which also uses a lot of chakra. Finally he used the last of his strength to make sure the sand he used didn't crush his village, then passed out from exhaustion. Basically, Deidara used Gaara's absolute defense against him. I don't think he took much damage at all directly or else he would be a bloody pulp after that explosion.
>>281902678Kido's armor was specifically stated to counter the Gentle Fist because it doesn't use chakra. Meanwhile Gaara uses his chakra to control his sand, so I imagine that Neji's strikes would render his sand useless.
>>281902841>Your Sand style is impressive, but it will never approach "our" art, hmmm.
>>281901410>he was in the same class as Kakashi in the academyDo you think him and Kakashi chat every now and then?
>>281900606Kankuro bros... It's OUR time!
>>281898250It's the other way aroundSasuke fumbling with 8.5 bijuu against Naruto's 0.5 + CHAD mode is quite fraudulent
>>281903028Oh shit
>>281897179A bit pedantic, wouldn't you say
>>281898983Part 1 was kinda shit except for Konoha crush and Zabuza desu. Kishimoto isn't that good
>>281900914I dunno, I feel like a lot of it is shitposting, like false flag bait. The genuine fans seem chill.>>281900660Nice graphic, though 25 points seems like a lot to me. I guess I'd take Hinata, Tenten, Shizune, Naruko, Tayuya, and Tsunami, because she looks like Haku who should be on here. Don't recognize most of these girls, I didn't watch much filler.
>>281903149The paper exam and forest of death parts were also really good.
>>281900847Isn't Jiraiya's style too specific for Naruto to learn? Like hair jutsu and shit
>>281903128This is a jeet tier response.
>>281900129>>281900809Isn't it obvious? Your average DB chapter doesn't get even a tenth of the complaints a Naruto chapter gets. Dragon Ball at its dumbest (Cell) is probably as smart as Naruto at its best
>>281903195Nta but the forest was where it peaked for me desu. I know it's already long but I wish it had more time for team 7 to develop.
>>281903202>Hair jutsuWhat category does that even fall under? It doesn’t require any nature transformation and its definitely too basic to be a Kekkei Genkai
>>281903226Idk what else to say. I don't remember Kido saying it doesn't use chakra but I can't deny it either. I can't be arsed to check.
>>281903255Probably a yang release jutsu
>>281900110Let's be real, the average DB chapter has more plot going on than a Naruto chapter. AND more fighting too. Naruto is just full of flashbacks padding which leaves you with 1-2 chapters battles that feel like they lasted 10 pages AND little plot advancement. DB plot moves forward all the time, without breaks or stop.
>>281903264Fair enough then.
>>281903282HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>281903282Naruto also isn’t helped by Kishi just not having the paneling skills and sense of style/action Toriyama had in his prime. That’s not to say Kishi doesn’t have his moments where he excels but he never came close to what Toriyama could pull off at his best. Same for Kubo and Oda. (Especially current Oda, good god. And to think he respected Toriyama the most of the 3)
>>281903296I don't recall Dragon Ball constantly reusing old panels and drawings for flashbacks and page filler like Naruto. The one time Toriyama reused a lot of panels was during the Goten and Trunks fusion, and he was self aware enough to make a joke out of it.
>>281903195>>281903246I was including those. Forest is very underrated
>>281903296Laughing to hide your tears anon?
So, does Deidara have big chakra reserves to spam bombs?
>>281903296You can check for yourself anon.At its dumbest and most formulaic (Cell arc), each chapter still has tons of twists and turns. The Cell arc has more plot going for it than the Sasuke retrieval arc, for instance. It's not even close.
You're under the strange impression including more of a shitty plot somehow makes it less so
>>281903328You reminded me of that interview where Toriyama outs his Alzheimer by not remembering Tao Paipai when Oda described him.Also, Oda going on and on about how Toriyama effectively gave him a armpit fetish.
>>281903391What?
What if Araki wrote Naruto?
>>281903391Define "shit plot".What I can say for sure is that Toriyama was a manga genius, and Kishimoto was not. This isn't just about drawing fights but manga in general and includes pacing and writing interesting drama/twists.Kishimoto had his own brand of genius... Designs. He made great designs and sold all of us on very cool concepts. So cool people wrote thousands of fanfictions about them.
Namek
Before this daily, I used to feel really bad for Dosu's team because they're completely forgettable jobbers that no one cares about, and they're pretty much completely overshadowed by the Sound 5 as Orochimaru's henchmen, but damn, even the Sound 5 has it a lot worse than I remember. None of them really leave any sort of impact on the story or the other characters, they're so non-liked by the fans that only Kimimaro and the token girl made it in the top 30 on the popularity polls, and none of them other than Kimimaro receive any sort of sympathy throughout the story.
>>281903457The greatest shonen arc indeed.
>>281903457War namek starting in 200 chapters
>>281897526I'd hate deidara so much
>>281903469Why was Kin the only weak villainess in the story?
>>281898983>Then Kishi had to fuck it up by making the main guy feel like a side character from the start of part 2Nope. If the world is big and interesting enough, then the main character can fuck off.As long as the main character is getting development, it's not bad writing.
>>281903545I think Karin is so shit that even Kin could kick her ass.
>>281903452>Kishimoto had his own brand of genius... DesignsI’d make that claim sooner for Kubo sooner than I would Kishimoto anon.
>>281903626Not once she gets the chakra chains
Did Gaara do ok or was it jobbing
>>281903727It was jobbing but it was also against a guy who is honestly retardedly strong, to the point that I think it was purely accidental
>>281903727While Gaara textbook jobbed (lost to show off how powerful new blonde bad guy is) it's not like he was embarassed. Deidara lost an arm and only won because he targetted the village
>>281903626I wouldn't really count Karin as a villainess.But not getting one shotted by Danzo, uzumaki durability + chakra chains makes her far stronger than Kin could ever hope to be.
>>281897066nigga who cares about that
>>281897066>Seriously, why the fuck doesn't he react at all to getting his arm ripped off? This is so retarded, lmao.the akatsuki are all elite psychopaths
>>281903266Can someone explain to me what exactly Yang/Yin Release is again? Is it just a broad “miscellaneous” category for things that don’t fit neatly anywhere else?
>>281903469I genuinely have no idea how Kidomaru wasn't worth of getting the a spot.He was THE highlight of the arc, but i guess waifufagging and Fujobucks overcome anything.
>>281903626>Kin>Karin>Just add in “ar” to Kin get your KarinKarin is actually Kin who survived the Edo Tensei and dyed her hair red and got glasses so Orochimaru wouldn’t recognize her, you heard here now.
>>281903819A...
>>281903815>But not getting one shotted by DanzoShe got taken out by one simple kick when he wasn't even trying and then got overpowered by a half death Danzo.>uzumaki durability + chakra chainsShe only got those later.
>>281903855Yes, basically any non-elemental jutsu falls into one of those two categories
>>281903727Yeah, but also Kishi made a point in showing Deidara holding the village hostage and how important that was for Gaara. I don't think it was a simple Deidara greater than Gaara moment.Although by the Itachi arc Deidara would probably crush.
>>281903469>they're so non-liked by the fans that only Kimimaro and the token girl made it in the top 30 on the popularity pollsIt could be worse, you could always be............................................Jugo
>>281897899distract him how?
>>281903955Yell his art is mid
>>281903903Anon, she was sent flying a couple of meters downwards and crashef into the floor making a crater AND didn't DIE.You cannot convince me Kin would've tanked that.
>>281903362He's limited by the quantity of the physical clay he brings with him. Which is funny considering most of his bombs expand to a much larger size like the birds, dragons, and ohako/etc.
>>281903949>Kurotsuchi that lowDaigoKEK absolutely seething
>>281903955Throwing projectiles, trying to reach him, ANYTHING!
>>281903987Why does he like her?
>>281903949Pretty sure Sakon, Ukon, Kidomaru and Jirobo are way bellow that.
>>281903949I wonder if they’ll ever do a poll like this again, I honestly missed out on the 1st one
>>281903989Terminal case of bad taste
>>281903989>>281904049Probably the same shit with Hanabi, enough material to get the hang of the character but not enough for you to be unable to filler the blanks with whatever headcanon you want.Either that OR he read true potential before becoming a youtuber.
>>281903969Danzo had retard strength at 80 but Hiruzen couldn't make a clone?
>>281903855>Yang gives life to things that don't have life>Yin gives form to nothingnessTheir descriptions are really vague and similar to one another, and both natures have really not been explored or explained well enough in the series, but yang is supposed to be physical while yin is spiritual. The only confirmed yang style techniques are Choji's body expanding jutsus, which are close enough to Jiraiya's hair lengthening moves I guess. Other techniques that I headcanon to be yang release would be>Kimimaro's kekkei genkai >Sakon and Ukon's kekkei genkai>Kidomaru's spider websThey're all body-related jutsus, so I think they fit with Choji's moves. >Shadow ClonesThey're about multiplying one's body, so it's physical enough, and it'd make sense for Naruto's signature move to be yang release. I'd like to think that taijutsu moves are also supposed to be yang release to contrast how all genjutsu moves are yin release, but I don't think that makes much sense.
>>281898065He took a nap.
>>281903949Where's Fukasaku?Also, Danzo being 69th is disgusting. He lost to Uchiha no names
>>281897265>HMMM?
>>281904119Oh and I forgot to mention >medical ninjutsuIt has to do with physically healing the body, so it makes sense for it to be yang release. Then there's also the "Yin Seal", but when Tsunade explains it, she says that it's "reincarnation, not rejuvenation" (or something to that effect) so I think that it makes sense for it to be Yin Release while normal medical ninjutsu is Yang.
>>281898667>why the fuck does a side character have that much shit in his pocket?What is a deuteragonist?
>>281903106Still gay Sasuke got that much power.>>281903149Nah part 1 was good. Sure it had some flaws but all the arcs were interesting and it had such an amazing vibe. Part 2 is just dogshit in comparison.>>281903202Then have Naruto grow his hair out. But seriously, I doubt a ninja with the amount of experience Jiraiya has only had one fighting style. But that's just the tip of the iceberg he could have taught him.>>281903567That's so stupid lol. Why even have the main character then? And just having SOME kind of development alone doesn't mean it can't be bad writing.
>>281904259Hard to call him a deuteragonist when he's getting more than the protagonist.
>>281904400Part 2 has arcs that easily shit on SRA, and worldbuilding is also slightly stronger (still retarded but less retarded than Neji spouting state secrets in front of an entire stadium)Part 1 is incredibly overrated
Where is the power ranking guy Also Hinata is the best girl
>>281904536Nah, part 1 may be retarded in terms of how much sense its story makes but its characters, pacing and tone shit on anything part 2 did.
>>281904536Trash take
>>281904536Not even remotely true. Nothing in part 2 comes even close to matching anything in part 1. It's watered down, uninteresting with pretty colos and powerful techniques to distract you from shit writing and horrible character development.
Personally I’m looking forward to how we’ll be rating each Shippuden arc in real time
>>281904697Tone maybe, characters meh (part 1 characters are grossly overrated, Sasuke went to shit fast after chunin exam, Lee was underused, Gaara is cool though), pacing definitely not, we just came out of an arc with shit pacing and incredibly short fights.
>>281904726>>281904770I'm sorry part 1 is kinda trash carried by its simple roots. Part 2 is still a mess but Kishimoto actually tried more in it and it definitely has a lot of highs that beat even nostalgiawanked parts like SRAMaybe part 1 has better average arc quality (or maybe not), or better tone (I'll agree with that sure) but you can be 100% sure people who think shit like SRA and many other part 1 arcs are great only do so because they were kids or maybe the anime carried it.Kishimoto was always kinda shit with some good moments, that's my point. Parts didn't change any of that.
>>281904946Or, to be concise"Part 1 was a 6/10 and 2 was a 4/10" can definitely work, sure "Part 1 was an 8/10 and 2 was a 3/10" is retarded
>>281904946Trying more means shit when the results were shit. Maybe if kishi treated Naruto as an MC instead of having him constantly drool over Sasuke in every single part 2 arc, the whole thing could have been better.
I hate Naruto's voice in Shippuden so much. They should've switched to a male VA. He sounds like a little kid trying to do a tough guy voice which makes him go from annoying to insufferable.
Sometimes I feel like I’m a bit too hard on Kishi’s writing and then I remember that he told me to chew the squid
>>281905109Trying more shit means he actually applied himself to draw decent fightsIt's hard to accept because it feels counter intuitive but I guarantee you Sasuke vs Danzo is a way better fight than the Naruto vs Sasuke we just got
>>281904946>>281904946>I'm sorry part 1 is kinda trash carried by its simple roots. Part 2 is still a mess but Kishimoto actually tried more in it and it definitely has a lot of highs that beat even nostalgiawanked parts like SRAOther way around. And we're going to see once all the Uchiha crap starts popping up and stealing the spotlight for the remainder of the series. The only good thing is Itachi reminding us why it was necessary to kill of all the Uchihas. His only mistake was sparing Sasuke
>>281905159I also realize Naruto vs Sasuke 2 isn't that bad seeing how the first one was
>>281905159Bruh who is talking about the fights? Fights alone may be better in Shippuden, but the rest of it is shit and that's far more important. Fights alone don't carry the manga, nor should they be used as the main thing to judge a part on.
>>281897369https://youtu.be/eAoR4h6SQGg?si=bTyNhyWu4aQMm6nb
>>281905338Fights aren't insignificant and are a pretty important part of pacing too. SRA with good fights would have been way better
>>281905432I don't disagree but again, they don't carry the manga. The story has to be good too. The character development. All of which is shit in Shippuden regardless of how good the fights are.
>>281903861Kidomaru was "meh" tier when you were younger and first get into the series. I'm pretty sure if Naruto was released today and Neji vs. Kidomaru came out, it would probably get a lot of fanfare since the shounen audience have a huge diet of "hype" and "aura" nowadays and the wide internet access everyone has now.
>>281903949I'm honestly more shocked at Kurenai. You would think she would have secured a spot within the 99th since she did have a bit of presence in Part I and was connected to characters like Hinata and Asuma, but nope, she's a nobody to the fans.
>>2819006605.-Ino5.- Temari5.- Shizune 4.- Kurotsuchi3.- Yugito2.- Mikoto.1.- MebukiFuck your second rule, I wanted choose Tenten and Ayame too
>>281904095I honestly don't know how anyone could be attracted to Kurotsuchi. She outright looks like a boy. I remember people even thinking she was a boy when she first debuted.
>>281905567That's because she's really a nothingburger of a character. She's just Asuma's girl and she barely did anything with Hinata, at least on screen. She's a jonin and a genjutsu master but she literally does nothing the whole series, only loses to Itachi's genjutsu. I love her design and I think she should have been more fleshed out but I can see why she's not a fan favourite.
>>281905483I wouldn't call it good in part 1 if "shit" is all Shippuden is. Shippuden has some fine arcs and developments (Naruto himself during the Pain arc actually). I'll even go as far as to say some parts that get shitposted to death (Sasuke deciding to kill everyone after he learns the truth about Itachi) are done better than Sasuke becoming le evil in SRA
>>281896838I remember when this arc was first coming out people were unsure whether Deidara was a man or a woman. I think it only got settled for good when the anime voice made it very clear.What if Deidara was a woman though?
>>281904860The pacing in part 2 is fucking atrocious. You could skip both the Tenchi Bridge and the Kakuzu/Hidan arc and you'd miss almost nothing important about the story. Meanwhile in part 1 every arc was tightly connected to one another. >>281905793>Shippuden has some fine arcs and developmentsShut the fuck up.
>>281905918>What if Deidara was a woman though?Kishi would probably rather die kek
>>281905793Sasuke in part 1 was better and more consistent than anytime in part 2. His whole arc made sense. Even his eventual defection. A stupid, power hungry kid, fucked up from some creep's cursed seal? How does that not make sense?And Naruto's development is so miniscule in part 2 considering most of the time he's simping for Sasuke.
>>281905918>What if Deidara was a womanshe'd job to Gaara
>>281905935You are absolutely retarded if you think Kishimoto struck gold for 200 chapters and then shat the bed for 500 in a row. Kishimoto was always kinda bad, kinda inconsistent in quality, and always bad at not retconning shit all over the place. Part 2 absolutely has arcs and character developments that are as good if not better than a lot of part 1.>>281905992Sasuke was incredibly inconsistent in this very arc and called retarded by many anons in these very threads. He had no reason to believe any of this Orochimaru shit, and flipflopped between cartoonishly evil and morally gray (remember when he laughed while stabbing his best friend with a giant electric knife? Best friend cried for him and confessed his eternal platonic love on the spot in the gayest possible way, this is the "good writing" you're wanking)I'm not even going to argue more, read these threads again and you'll see for yourself just how shit Kishimoto can be in what was supposed to be the best or second best arc of part 1. Lol. 6 fights and he only nailed 1. Most retarded arc setup ever made, you'd all be arguing it ruined Tsunade if it happened in part 2.Kishimoto isn't good. Part 1 might be slightly better than 2 but neither rises higher than a 5-6/10.
>>281905918Not only that, some fans even thought Sasori and Deidara were husband and wife because Deidara addressed Sasori as "danna" which is a word to show high respect by calling them superior or master, but can also be mistranslated to mean "husband".
>>281900660TsunadeTemariShizuneSakuraInoTenten
>>281905935>You could skip both the Tenchi Bridge and the Kakuzu/Hidan arc and you'd miss almost nothing important about the story.Notice how both of those arcs lean heavily on side characters.
Multiple girls is unethical.
How much better would it be if all Akatsuki pairs got an arc before they died?
>>281906330They all did get an arc, though.
>>281906355Kakuzu, Sasori, Pain, and Hidan didn't
>>281906327Sorry bro, clan restoration act. Think of the bloodline.
Dead thread
>>281906655better this way compared to the usual dogshit that happens after the chapter is dumpedi kind of like the weird ass fanfic talk but that devolved into super autism thanks to sasjeet's insane jealousy
>>281906655>sunday night
>>281906655
>>281906655EDO TENSEI
>>281898078What youre failing to take into account is that Deidara is fucking GOATed
>>281906712>>281906655Every Naruto thread is a dead thread, the show ending a decade ago, it little fanfiction isn't enough to keep it alive.>>281900660My pic
>>281907484Deidara no diffs Itachi if not for the sharingan, heck Tayuya does too

>>281899880Naruto is worse than all of those though
master baiter
>>281897128It's a bit stuffy in there.
>>281897526Atrocious. Kishi just invents abilities, break rules, and has characters stop using abilities as needed to make whatever hack outcome he needs with zero thought. Sand armor tanking a three-gate powerbomb, KO'd by little bitty baby ant firecrackers. Never mind the other guy not even acknowledging a ripped-off arm.
>>281907801we get ityou're retarded
>Kishi just invents abilitiesI don't see a problem with a S rank bingo book guy having new abilities. Keep in mind Naruto turned himself into a pickle and had Sasuke throw him in order to break Zabuzas water prism
>>281907885All the made up attacks in these games are better than what Kishimoto did('nt).
>>281897172I never noticed before, but you can tell from kankuro's face-markings that this flashback took place around the sasuke-retrieval-arc, neat. So what exactly is the timeline anyway, has gaara been kazekage for some time already, or did Gaara become kazekage recently? And if he only became one recently, who was in charge of the village in the meantime? The last kazekage died over 2 years ago after all
>>281907999Kazekage for some time, definitely.
>>281897327that shot of the scouter reminds me, I don't think we ever see Deidara without it in this arc, so for the longest time fans just assumed he wore it all the time as if he was a cyborg or missing an eye or something
>>281900199so wasn't it a whole thing that if gaara ever lost consciousness shukaku would take over or something?
>>281908155Gaara lost consciousness at the end of the Chunin Exams and it didn't come out. Think it's only when he sleeps
>>281902678Think the sand armor doesn't have the golden armor's ability to stop chakra, so the gentle fist bypasses it hitting Gaara.
>>281873808I don't think sasori in his current form is capable of running at all
>>281898514It's the inciting incident. It's important as setup for the rest of the plot, not for its own sake.
>>281907841narutards are permanently stuck with the brain development of a nine year old
>>281908782i love how hinata's super embarassed "what the fuck am i doing" face
Ironically, the Sound Four/Five all gave up their lives for Sasuke. Were they the true homos all along?
>>281908214probably gave Konohamaru a bit of a fetish
>>281906206Husband and wife Akatsuki pair would have been too cute.
>>281897327>C3 chakraNow we're getting somewhere.
>>281897369Funny how if deidara just flew in and dropped this on konoha in the middle of the night he would have done more damage than orochimaru's entire invasion
>>281897661Thanks. Good fight.
why do the Akatsuki even go in pairs of two or even alone after the jinchuriki. They could just as well come all at once and gang up on every single one, it's doesn't seem like they're under any time pressure
>>281909591Most Jinchurikis are jobbers
>>281909638yeah but Deidara got his arms crushed and could have easily died here. And the stronger Junchuriki definetly where trouble. What did the Akatsuki even do during the timeskip?
>>281897796even though from the moment he noticed them to the moment they exploded an entire pages passed, I assume in reality it is meant to be a slip second
>>281909591Kakuzu, Jiraiya's intel, and Pain's comments suggest they were doing normal missions for money as well. who knows what they needed money for other than food and nail polish. maybe it was just a front to distract other people from their real goals - villages would just think they're a dime a dozen mercenary group who occasionally ended up fighting jinchuurik instead of just going after them which would ring alarm bells.
>>281909591>>281909638>>281909665All of that could have been justified and explained easily, if Kishi actually sit down and thought about it.
>>281897713They are several hundred feet up in the air, this ain't One Piece where everyone can fly.
So is Deidara naturally resistant or has access to free healing? He is awfully fucking nonchalant about his arm exploding.
at this point in time in the timeline where the Sound Four survive, Tayuya would no longer be a virgin
>>281909798Perhaps he already replaced his arms long ago with the mouth arms. I doubt he was born with such mutations. Maybe he doesn’t feel pain in them.
>The series goes on a downward spiral after the Tenchi Bridge arc>At the same time Sakura becomes a non-entity, she won't do anything for literal years>Naruto's upgrades and training are shit, all Naruto got was a differently shaped rasengan and another transformation but its ten times more boring than corrupted Kyuubi forms and the pure Kyuubi forms (KCM) which was another downgrade to the corrupted Kyuubi forms>After the Pain arc it just become a confused mess about "Where is sasuke?" until Sasuke kills Itachi and Danzo>The War arc is just complete incoherent nonsenseNaruto is the only series that needs a complete reboot to change all of the shitty parts about it. Because how did we go from straight kino for 5 arcs, and then Shippuden happens, and we get three goodish arcs, and then we spiral down the depths of shit after the Tenchi Bridge arc?>inb4 the Pain arc was goodNo, that shit was mediocre. It is only considered good because the arcs that came after it were complete shit.
>>281909729If he never bothered to think about what itachi had done to benefit the leaf as a spy he surely also never bothered to think about this
>>281909103Deidara could defeat Gaara because he used the village as an hostage, he only arguably is above Gaara and sure as hell isn't a whole tier above him if Kakashi isn't above Sakura and Naruto.
>>281909798I guess Kakuzu can stitch him back together.
>>281909724if they're really meant to be concealing their goals then Itachi blabbing like he is constitutes actual double agent work
>>281900660>THE HAREM:TayuyaKinAmeyuriFubukiKarenbanaSuzumebachi>THE PUMP AND DUMP HAGS:KaguyaMeiYugito
>>281898734They also dragged out the arm crushing for like eons
>>281899809He used C2 and C4 instead
>>281897098>>281897172>>281897211Kishi never really sold me on that whole "connecting with people makes them not evil" thing. Also holy hell Gaara take your tongue out of Naruto's asshole, you're making Hinata look level-headed with her crush.

>>281908771That's why they accept Kishi's atrocious writing?
>>281898286>I think the idea is just to not waste time>Gaara spends half the chapter fellating Naruto in his thoughts
>>281907934Yeah, Cyber Connect 2 seems to understand what makes Naruto cool even more than Kishi himself.>>281909265Not homo if Tayuya dies for Sasuke. But yeah the rest are all homos, Kimi especially.
>>281911435Not really, I just had spare points.I'd be perfectly satisfied with just Tayuya, Kin, and Ameyuri.
>>281900660>5. The whole row barring the Nart >4. Ayame or Konan (Koyuki mention)>3. Tsume or Guren >2. Hotaru is a legit bargain at this price (pakura mention)>1. ShizukaAlso lol at Rin being in the 4, No can do Obito.
>>281897661Thank you for posting.
>>281900660Hinata, dump the rest.
>>281905567>>281905648Imagine losing to an one-off character whose only appearance was showing her barely censored body and giving Jiraiya a boner and only received a name in the anime.
>>281913903Meant for >>281905692
>>281905793SRA Sasuke didn't want to kill people completely to his tragedy though.
>>281901410>literally me reading theae threads
>>281909770None of the super human shinobi can throw a kunai that far or something?
>>281913952*completely unrelated
>>281900660I choose Tayuya and let her spend the of the points in her slaves
>>281914274Not fast enough that Deidara wouldn't be able to dodge.
>>281909143how can you even tell with this shit quality?
>>281905594Wheres this from?
>>281909914Part 1 is trash too
>>281913952He first didn't even try to fight, just walk away, then gloated about killing his best friend, then started acting like he cared. Completely schizophrenic and anons here were going for damage control about snake roids making him evil. Post Itachi Sasuke wanting to nuke all of Konoha is a lot more consistent.
>>281900660Tsunade is worth 106 points
>>281913626Ok ,Naruto
>>281900660I'm thinking of taking just girls who don't have a canon love interest, to avoid stealing any.
>>281911983Yeah, i just meant that i won't pull out, ever.
Part 2 had a pretty strong start with the Kazekage Rescue arc. Too bad it's all gonna go down to shit in the next 2 arcs.
We like Sasuke here.
>>281900660Switch Tenten, Shizune, Hanabi and Mei with Ayame, Konan, Fun and Karin.
>>281914417That would still distract him
>>281916054>Kekrin
>>281916006Orochimaru....
>>281909591Nagato doesn't have enough hours to schedule everyone at the same time
>>281897172>>281897179>All this glazing just to get cucked by Sasuke
>>281897604Deidara nearly killed Naruto after losing both arms
>>281903727Fighting Akatsuki members one on one is suicidal and only Sasuke is retarded enough to attempt it
>>281917580GODara is simply built differently, he plays bingo.
>>281917451Neji, Gaara or both?
>>281917843Gaara
>>281915981Apart from this chapter and the Sasori fight, this arc is also terrible
>>281900686Given everything we've seen, it would make the most sense to be Baki, as pitiful as that would be.
>>281901502I imagine it's animated like shit.
>>281918134The anime was even worse. The pacing was snail-like with Naruto and Kakashi chasing Deidara forever and Team Guy's fights being shown, but at glacial speeds.
>>281919118Usually, when the manga is at snail pace, the anime needs to be even slower to not catch up.
>>281909914Truest thing has never been said. >>281913903Gonna need to see a panel of that.

are we really gonna use this thread for the next chapter or can we sweep it along real quick
>>281905518Speak for yourself Kidomaru has always been cool. I didn’t even know he was considered an “underrated.”
>>281922352Probably would it be better if we manage to end the thread
No better way to end a thread than just posting a bunch of girls
Chapter 250: New Squad, First Mission!!
>>281922667oh nvm>>281922699Gaarabros…
The infamous shot.
>>281922758Lmaoooooo
our thread jobbed just like gaara
>>281922888>>281922913Kankurobros, time to show off how strong we got since the SRA!
>>281923026Deidara looks like he's thinkinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj3ss-Nggpw
>>281922758>Something is about to happenOh yeah, and this whole battle with giant explosions and waves of sand was "nothing ever happens" tier for you?
>>281923157Baki's used to this shit
>>281922667Who even is that girl? The female teacher who taught The girls kunoichi arts? Does she even have a name?
>>281903448There would be almost zero straight ships but somehow it would feel less gay than Naruto.
>>281922667Is they supposed to be Iruka's genin teammates? I don't think we ever saw the one on the left until now.
>>281923217Isn't she Shino's mom? I vaguely remember something like that and I'm not talking about the goggles.
>>281923185Hayate getting offed was one of the gayest moments in the series. So many people that deserved to die (Sasuke) didn't but one guy that didn't did.
>>281922730It's with that mindset that you remain a side character, Baki.
>>281923457Takamaru, FASTEST IN SUNAGAKURE>whatever it was... ...we'll know soon enough!Even unnamed background women are retarded in Kishi's verse
But why, Kishi?
Rare inner Sakura sighting in Part 2
>>281923050You only got another puppet in 3 years?
>>281923086I'm pretty sure that's not good against puppets considering against Misumi went
>>281922758>AAAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE SAVE US KONOHA
>>281923595>Kisame… we’re entering in spirit…
Chapter 250: New Squad, First Mission!!END Tomorrow: To the Sand...!!
>>281923050>>281923086
>>281923050Kankuro is a pretty lame character but he has some really cool poses.
>>281923175they don't have phones? or long distance radio transmitters? or Morse Code No Jutsu? anything at all other than sending a bird to travel all the way to a neighbouring country?these reinforcements are gonna be like a week late.
>>281923175I thought you had electricity and shit, why are you still bothering with messenger hawks when you should have radios?
>>281923622>Let's send OUR jinchuriki to fight the akatsuki who took Gaara with barely any effortTARDnade...
>>281922699>leaf informs sand of the Akatsuki >doesn't bother to tell them they're after the jinchuriki
>>281923517>>281923559I just think Naruto being bratty was cute when he was 13, but he's 16 now and it's just insufferable to see. Kishi already subverted the idea he's matured with Konohamaru, did we really have to see him butt heads with Tsunade and glaze Hiruzen AGAIN!?
>>281923517DATTEBAYO
>>281923705For someone that’s basically dressed like a kabuki guy you’d think his personality would be a lot more flamboyant to match the poses, the puppets could basically be posed like Jojo Stands even
>>281923752It's especially retarded since he also whined about Hiruzen not giving him harder missions.
>>281923622>>281923595The set-up for this is kind of contrived but whatever
>>281923752Naruto proping up Hiruzen feels so wrong.
>>281923684Are you going to dunp the BW pages in this thread?
>>281922667>>281923217The girl looks like Kurenai with glasses. The guy looks like Ebisu (even though he was in the same as Guy)
>>281909282Isn’t that just what Nagato and Konan were? She definitely cared about him more than just an old friend.
>>281922888I didn’t notice Gaara had blood trickling down his mouth and thought he had one of his old psycho smiles Kek.
>>281923559Oh look Inner Sakura is back. I thought she disappeared completely after Part 1.
>>281923723>>281923732Hawks are cooler than radios, silly anons.
>>281924054>>281924147>>281924184>>281924222Why the fuck aren’t there any jonin to aid him?
>>281923217Yeah, I think it's the same teacher. Her name is Suzume.
>>281923457Holy shit, THE Takamaru? Even Minato can't outspeed him...
>>281923248Ebisu was teamed up with Genma and Gai, even though you never get that impression in the series at all.
>>281923982Nagato, controlling Yahiko's corpse won't make you and Konan a thing.
>>281924278Uh, why doesn't Kankuro just detach the puppets limbs and Attack Sasori here?
>>281924471Ebisu wears Blue though
>>281922699>He was after Gaara all along!Was Suna not told why Akatsuki would show up?
>>281923622So... She just changes her mind on the spot and sends them? Why them? Why isn't she helping? Where the fuck is Jiraiya?
>>281922855The gore is toned down. Part I would be more messy.
>>281924571part 2 is more pussified than part1 yes
>>281924571Not really. Part 1 mostly got gore in the first arc. Even at the forest Gaara crushing people to death was offscreen.
>>281924571You realize part 1 was like two weeks before this chapter back then? Kishimoto didn't suddenly change everything about the way he worked on the spot.
>>281923559This is Inner Sakura's official EXIT.
>>281923595Kisame looks really handsome here
>>281924616Zaku got his arm blown off after Shino stuffed it with bugs.
>>281924571Part 2, despite the edgier designs and story elements, felt way less grim bleak than part 1.
>>281924656The artstyle already looks like it changed drastically from the SRA.
>>281924728It's literally the same. Anime inspired designs without many features. That's EXACTLY how SRA was and even Tsunade search to an extent. Kishimoto hasn't changed in 2 weeks and you'll get the same issues as with SRA in this arc, shit pacing, short fights, weird setups.
>>281924678Itachi...
>>281923843My wife
>>281924700And it was closer to action figures being taken apart than actual gore. Hell, Deidara losing both arms isn't much different from this. Part 2 also implied child murder in the Hashirama flashback.The current part 2 scene we're discussing isn't gruesome or something but still quite brutal with the guy being possessed and killing his entire squad, leaving a pool of blood for Kankuro to discover. I don't think this is the example you want to pick to go and claim "see? Part 2 is so different and way shittier, it shows in the first three chapters!!"
>>281924656>You realize part 1 was like two weeks before this chapter back then?No it wasn't. The Kakashi Gaiden was published between it and Kishimoto took a few breaks. And Naruto already had its anime and was getting move in the last arc of Part I. There were definitely going to be changes.
>>281924859Kisame... you're a healthy shade of blue today...
>>281924700It also had>Dosu being cut in half>Those Kusa nins being turned into literal blood paste on the walls>Kabuto tanking a rasengan with his guts>Neji taking multiple arrow holes>Sakon/Ukon getting PUPPETED>anything related to Kimimaro
Bro is actually trying to argue that the violence wasn't watered down, lol.
The only time we get genuine gore in Part II is when Obito has his chimp out in his flashback.
>Part 1This world is fucked but we don't have to be like that.>Part 2THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP CLEANSES ALL
>spent 6 months (rightfully) shitting on part 1>suddenly part 1 was good all along the moment 2 starts>Naruto changed mass murdering mercenary with a few words about friendship and made him cry but it's okay
