I get that it's probably super difficult to extract a tailed beast wholly intact and seal it within a statue, but what the fuck kind of jobber seal is this when later on the statue can instantly incorporate tailed beast chakra and normal people can instantly seal the beasts in items and people with a single sealing jutsu.

this shit was so hype back in the day. Mysterious leader with unspecified powers, metal-as-fuck summon, multiple silhouettes setting up future arcs and fights. Early Part 2 was when it was the most fun to be a Naruto-fan because of all the hints about future developments you could theorize about.

>>282062256
Who’s the guy in the middle right panel? By process of elimination it has to be either Hidan or Kakuzu, but the hair and what looks like a mask/helmet doesn’t match either of them.

>>282060920
Someone understand those kanji?
>>
>>282061531
Thank you OP
>>
>>282061298
so I guess that random akatsuki-member is meant to be an early Hidan? The only other options are Konan and Kakuzu, but we already saw another member with a flower in her hair, and I assume Kakuzu is meant to be the bulky one.
>>282060885
>>
>>282063581
I don't know how the timing lines up, but you could say it's one of the partners Kakazu killed off, if Hidan hasn't appeared yet.

that's the tall bulky one we saw at the end of Part 1 too. We can actually deduce his identity based on the finger he stands on, his silhouette is very recognizable
>>282062667
left middle finger, that makes him Kakuzu. Or at least an early design of him.
>>
>>282063687
The anime changed the Kazekage arc so that the design is clearly Hidan.

>>282063814
I feel like Kishi was never really clear on what Itachi did to hinder the Akatsuki.

Kishi retcons it real fucking quick. Only way to handwave is that later examples are done by people with better chakra control/technique than the entire Akatsuki, and that's nonsense.
>>
>>282065028
It's not a retcon. Orochimaru's high functioning OCD meant all the work got done in five hours. Now it takes three days because the schizo who did all the work got fired and Akatsuki is short staffed. Obito could use the Sharigan, but he's using a fraction so others don't catch on quick
>>

>orochimaru was that workaholic who kept everything running smoothly and now that he's gone only the lazy slops are left and the whole company falls apart

I never understood of all the designs they could've gone with, they went with discount Zabuza right down to the exact same sword.
>>
>>282062321
Making pain a mere puppet of obito took away a good chunk of the hype, wish Kishi would just make them separate factions with the same goal of acquiring tailed beasts but for different purposes.

>>282065868
zetsu having a byakugan-variant was considered a serious possibility in fandom, but by the time I joined the golden byakugan in particular had already become a gigantic meme and was basically just brought up for shitposting purposes
>>
>>282061102
And that's how the "Golden Byakugan" theory was born!
>>
>>282064386

>>282065942

>>
The Akatsuki's leader's hair looks to go down to the side of his face kinda like Minato's sidelocks btw. But it's still a schizo theory, a conspiracy theory.
>>
>>282066039
>>282066048
So technically Momoshiki's Golden Byakugan was the first instance of meme magic becoming canon in Naruto?
>>
>>282062487
Let's give proper respect - the Akatsuki design and cloak changed modern otaku culture and even to this day you will see SoundCloud rappers and other "mainstreams" rocking shit like an akatsuki cloak or a headband reminiscent of Naruto's or an akatsuki's, with the scar through the symbol.
>>
>>282066127
Basically. Also, Hamura's Tenseigan (upgrade of the Byakugan) was possibly hinted to be gold due to the color of the energy vessel that was based on it. And Isshiki's "Kokugan" which seems to be a counterpart to the Byakugan is also gold.

A guy who used to be all in on the theory a long time ago basically got his wish tenfold in a long run.
>>
>>282065942
>Bat monster man, likely has a bat summon
>Innate flight
>weird eyes and verbal tic
The connection from bats to bird into the Deidara we got is obvious, but where did the explosions come from?
>>
>>282062321
>Theories about Zetsu being a Grass village experiment or a Hyuga (sometimes he's a mutated Hizashi)
>Theories about the leader being the Fourth Hokage who went evil or Naruto's long lost brother or even Konohamaru's dad.
>Theories about the completely unknown members. Some even was crazy enough to say one of them could be Kakashi's dad, Sakumo.
>Guessing games and theories about Akatsuki's plan. Notable theories were that they were trying to become new Jinchuuriki or straight up trying to open a gate to hell using the statue and Bijuu.
>>
>>282065942
Wasn't there a Naruto movie who had one or some of the villains turn into a bat? i figure it would be like that.

>Eight of the ten kanji of the rings are taken from a kuji-in, a collection of nine hand postures used in meditation. Pain's "rei" and Zetsu's "gai" are not from this kuji-in. However, the only unused kuji-in kanji, 玄 (gen, "mysterious"), bears a strong resemblance to Zetsu's "gai", suggesting an error. It would be a consistent error, however, since the "gai" kanji has been used in every instance the ring's kanji has been shown.

>>
>>282068343
She's the sensei of an anime-only team in Boruto.
>>
>>282068343
Hanabi is younger than Konohamaru and his team so she's definitely not a genin for the entirety of part 2 unless you wanna argue that her and Hiashi's absence in the pain arc was one of her genin missions.
Funny enough, nobody knows what to do with this character, neither Kishimoto nor Ikemoto, hell even SP stopped throwing her stuff to see what sticks after getting drunk with Shino and Konohamaru.

So Hiashi and Hizashi were born as twins, but Hiashi was born first, so Hizashi became part of the branch family and got the cuck cage seal mark on his forehead. It was also shown that Neji got his own seal as a 4 year old. But if that's how it works, shouldn't Hanabi be part of the branch family as well, since she's 5 years younger than Hinata? Shouldn't she have already had the seal on her by the time Hiashi decided to make her the heir instead of Hinata? Or is the seal a male only thing? Or, if Hanabi was initially part of the branch family but then Hiashi had her switch to the main one to become his heir, couldn't he have theoretically done this with Neji as well, given how he's a genius and his nephew?

I don't know if it'a confirmed by canon, but someone said the branching is only affecting the male hyuga because they're a patriarchal society after all and I thought that makes sense The branching affected even immediate family to the point of identical brother had different branch still doesn't make sense for me though

The cage bird seal seems to be something the Hyuga resorted to in the past because of succession issues and isn't their first resort, with the old dudes seeming to realize that Hinata isn't built for this and not dissuading Hanabi from training herself to challenge the position.
They would probably rather have had Neji as clan head to begin with but putting a cage bird seal on the women would look cowardly.
Hanabi changing fate within the clan was kind of a neat thing before Naruto clobbered Neji who had become embittered that any change could occur.

IRL, only males could move to other branchs and what happened to Hizashi was mostly a twin thing.
Although, considering that both Hanabi and Hinata were allowed to be heir despite being women, i really doubt that was what Kishimoto was going for or else he'd have Neji comment on that.

Orochimaru is the only guy with pitch perfect chakra control. Only others like Iruka, Ebisu, and Shizune can do the sealing, but the Akatsuki are thugs who have to learn how to share chakra. Kabuto the only pitch perfect grind, but again the Akatsuki are down to ten guys.

Gai would just watch doing jumping jacks menacingly. Don't forget Hidan jobbed to Asuma's squad of shitters and got BEHEADED. Without Kakuzu to patch him up, Hidan is just a very durable punching bag for Team Gai. Lee alone can outspeed him, kick him out of his stupid circle and break the ground where the circle was drawn anytime. He also has no response to Tenten's long range ninja tools. Even if Hidan himself went there as opposed to just sending a clone, he would've been wiped out like the Oto jobbers from Konoha Crush.

That's retarded. Itachi has dozens of way to fuck with Neji other than Susano. Neji isn't getting past 100 puppets without taking a (fatal) scratch even if he can disable those threads. You need a one man army for that. Deidara will never get touched by fucking air palm.

Is Danzo the worst character in Naruto?
From both a character standpoint but also a function in the story standpoint? Like how he was obviously not planned before part 2, and when he showed up, it's so obvious Kishi thought,
>Oh, well here's a get-out-of-jail-free card for me, I can just blame everything bad that's ever happened on Danzo (and Madara, I guess) and my favorite characters can all be absolved of all wrongdoing. Sorry reader, Sasuke and Itachi are secret good guys now regardless of ALL the evidence against this so far.
>>
>>282093790
>She took an arm with her first move (although she also got hurt).
That's only because Obito was being retarded. If he wanted to, he could have just phased through all her papers or teleport himself away instead of grabbing her by the neck (it could also be that he was holding back to keep her alive so he'd learn where the rinnegan is).
>>
>>282093841
No, that has to be Hashirama. This motherfucker comes out of nowhere, his cells and legacy are somehow central to EVERYTHING, and he's so fantastically overpowered that you have to wonder how the entire continent wasn't leveled already.
>>
>>282091959
The fact we never got to see Konan’s pierced bellybutton in the manga or anime is criminal. Her belly was meant to be flaunted.
>>
>>282093699
>>282093652
Konan is in an unfortunate position because her only opponent is giga broken and probably was never in any real danger so it's difficult to gauge her strength. Could anyone survive a six billion paper bombs to the face without trickery like Hidan? Probably not, but that's also a once-in-a-lifetime move she prepped for her entire life and would have only used on this one character whose power dictated that it would always lose to him.
Konan is taking the wrestling terms to a new level, she is literally born bred and raised to JOB in the most literal sense. She was never intended to win her fight so the contrivance of her losing or it being a move she was charging up for her entire life somehow doesn't feel out of place here. It's a rare decent fight in an arc without a lot of decent fights. Compare this to my wife Samui who was introduced and immediately became so popular she threatened to upend the main characters who were well hated by the fanbase at that point and had to be summarily executed by the author in the most contrived fight of the arc.
Will always understand Konan lovers, she's a fantastic character.
>>
>>282093922
I can agree with this. The things we know about Hashi cells by series' end should have made resurrecting him in KonoCrush a much bigger nightmare than the Fourth. That guy should have instantly obliterated the village faster than Pain, and skip even rezzing him, if Oro had the DNA on hand he should have just eaten it and instantly become invulnerable and can probably swap bodies on his own using wood because why not.

He's close to it. But I still think Yamato is hands down the worst character in the series.
He's just so fucking boring and uninteresting, and he sticks around the main cast for such a long time even though he really doesn't need to exist. Same with Sai, though at least he more or less has his own character arc.
I can at least laugh at how much of a retarded scapegoat Danzo is, but Yamato is just a much shittier Kakashi whose role could've easily been given to an already existing character.
(and his design is really fucking ugly)

Ichibi/Kyuubi/etc. is there title. They all have a true, actual name. Hundreds of chapters from now Kishi attempts to bridge a retcon by having the old man who was the previous host being called Shukaku by so many of the villagers that people forgot his real name. Which is actually interesting and I don't dislike, just funny that all that info is in service of him deciding Shukaku was a Bijuu and having to write around it.

sasuke retrieval arc is overrated. it plays like a saint seiya arc
race against the clock
one by one, each member of the mc team stars a fight
shit feels like a game, just like saint seiya does. "walk, face a boss, beat him, continue walking, another one appears, beat him, then continue, it repeats, and so on"

opening 5 is peak, but the arc itself is predictable and structured. if you saw how choji starred some episodes, followed by neji, you can already guess what shikamaru and kiba will do - exactly the fucking same
then gaara and lee, they appear to play the same role
and the big fight itself, naruto vs sasuke, is boring, dragged a lot by the flashbacks. won't lie, it took me like a week to watch it. it was very slow

Susanoo has to allow gas exchange or users wouldn't be able to speak, hear or breathe while inside. Sasuke was burnt by Mei's acid mist while inside his susanoo, and Gaara was even able to get sand inside Madara's susanoo and drag him out. Logically that means gas and small particles can get inside the mecha. So in theory Sasori could beat him with gas attacks/iron sand, or Deidara with C4.

Is this based on strength/ability or popularity? This is the exact chapter where Kisame does Bakusui Shoha and turns a wasteland into an ocean, don't see how he isn't automatic S tier off what's shown.

Also I didn't wanna make a second post but for the 30% clone jutsu, it just makes the host/puppet person into an Edo Tensei type sacrifice? Like it's Kisame/Itachi speaking through them and expressing their own thoughts yeah, it's such a weird jutsu.

oh right, I forgot, akatsuki already had two bijus in their possession by this point. I remember fans speedreading and not picking up on this, especially with the on-screen-captures starting at one-tails and then going to two-tails to three-tails to four-tails.

While it's true that Konan's character doesn't get super explored there's a good amount of threads that could be taken up.
The tragedy of a woman who found camaraderie and young love but has spent the last 20 years grimly pursuing a goal alongside her adoptive brother, now a pessimistic broken man. Two decades of suppressing her own wants and desires, but hopeful for the first time since being a teen.
The pathos of owing her life to her sensei and then being in conflict with him and his village, then being the only other remaining student of Jiraiya alive alongside Naruto.
If her mindset wasn't so shaken after losing Nagato it would be easy to see her becoming a central force interrupting the fourth ninja war if she had it in mind to implant a rinnegan to fend off Akatsuki and protect Amegakure. People screech that she would just die if she tried, but she would have resources squirreled away by Akatsuki and an entire nation to draw from, whether she would have needed soldier pills and Hashirama cells she would have acquired them.

Konan in another series would be one of the most popular characters. But the Naruverse is so fucking massive that she didn't stand out much. Not to mention she didn't get a whole lot of screentime. She certainly got more than some other women don't get me wrong. But she was porbably in the bottom half of semi-important characters in terms of screentime.

Yeah, even the angel stuff matches up with goth's aesthetic relation to catholicism.
Konan is almost always in dark lighting, wears black, stoic and somber, wears a dark shade of makeup and retains the dignity of never having been used for comedy relief or a gag.

If Kishimoto wasn't a coward the Pain arc would be followed by Naruto noticing with his sage mode that Root members are all in a bunker while the rest of the village is rebounding, and Naruto pissed off enough to confront Danzo about fomenting conflict in Amegakure, practically creating Pain as far as he knows, then dragging Danzo in for a Yamanaka mind probe. A jonin council called to discuss Danzo being a huge liability, then we'd get sage naruto vs mangekyo Sasuke over whether Danzo gets executed lawfully or for Sasuke's vengeance.

>>282098385
I think the case is that it is. The idea of there being much beyond the world had been a afterthought.
Like, during the first Chunin Exams, there wasn't that much representation of other villages. It's like much of the world is smaller and disparate. It's only in the post time-skip do we see a more fleshed out world.
Most of which is ninja. Only one place having samurai.
>>282098422
I get that, but there could be something to be said about Naruto. After all, Naruto's goal is to be the Hokage, which is the chief administrator of the village. That's a political ambition

Not to Naruto. He wants the title because it's proof that he's earned the respect and recognition of his peers. The closest it gets to being political is when he talks about how he'll change X system when he becomes hokage, but those are more supplementary goal he picks up along the way.

Everything about the wrap-up to the Pain arc is weird because the author was mentally way beyond it and hadn't commited to anything else but Uchiha bullshit.
Naruto could have been like, so how do we talk out peace among our nations if you're an S-rank missing nin that can't come into Fire Nation airspace? Then she could give him Pain's ring and they could use the Akatsuki gathering ritual voodoo to stay in touch.
A lot could have been written differently here.

*Kiri's strongest. We meet 3 different Mizukage in Shippuden (a future one if you count Bort-shit, i don't). I never felt like Gengetsu, Yagura or Mei did anything on Kisame's level with what he shows vs Bee and Guy round 2.5. STRONGEST in the Mist.

>>282099115
>Kiri's strongest gets self-admittedly mid-diffed at most by Jiraiya
Why does Kishi hate all every other village besides Leaf and Cloud?
>>
>>282099138
Kishimoto just needed a good reason to explain Akatsuki not getting Naruto right there, which is why Jiraiya was bumped up to "threatens Akatsuki in 1v2s" but he also needed Orochimaru to be a big threat to Konoha so we have to pretend he's still dangerous now that Konoha has Jiraiya, Tsunade, Guy..... somehow..?

Powerlevels are in service of the narrative needs most of the time basically.
>>
>>282099138
That line was given when chapters were in the 100's mark. I don't think Kishimoto had tailless tailed beast, samehada fusion, casually spitting out lakes, and kaiju-sized shark bomb that absorbs all incoming chakra to further fuel itself in mind yet. And even if he did, Jiraiya is Kage tier without question, I feel like he'd still beat Kisame with both going all out, more often than not.

Very direct answer: Obito mindraping and puppeting Yagura to sabotage the Hidden Mist for years pre-series for the Rin thing. Kirigakure is as weak as Suna in the narrative, most of the time.

Isn't he not recognizing Kisame because he never got a look at his face because Itachi was there?

He fights Kisame again later and still doesn't remember who he is.

I've always wondered where the fuck this thing actually comes from, this is less "sword" and more "actual creature on a stick"

By the definition of the word, anything that shows the author's values and ideals IS political.
Obviously, not everything is gonna be political or even 100% leaning towards left/right.

Politics is the management of the levers of power - how you use it to achieve your aims. It's not the why. Two people with the same underlying value (we should help the poor get good food) would go about it through entirely different political means. Most works don't actually present a political solution that is meant to apply to real life. Lord of the Rings has anti-industrial themes but Tolkien doesn't have Frodo burn down a car factory and look at the reader and say, "vote green to save the planet from industrialists - or else" Though it's often the case lately that hacks use works to make direct parallels to current political issues.

The 7 swords of the mist are all obviously demonic, they self-repair by stealing blood and chakra and are thus indestructible instruments of war.
The asura path of pain should have yoinked them instead of turning into missiles and other incongruous shit it did.

Only Zabuza and Samehada do that, respectively.

Oh right, Sakura never met Itachi in part 1. And because people in this manga never tell anyone anything, she never did until now.

Dying because you only prepare 2x for your opponent's ability instead of 3x isn't naivete, it's being conspired against on a cosmic level.

It's interesting that Hinata was directly between 6-tail Naruto and Pain and he did not harm her even a little bit. Meanwhile Sakura got kinda close to 4-tail Naruto and he bitchslapped her.

Naruto should have killed SauceGAY at the end of the series

You think Samehada can shake Kisame out of a genjutsu? It's a living thing with chakra. I don't think we ever see one used on him until they're mindraping him for info on Tobi, but Samehada obv wasn't on his side or person then.
>>
>If you kill your enemies, they win
retarded
>>
>>282101889
Hashirama's whole existence really shits on the "muh Ashura and Indra reincarnations" plot twist, considering how he's supposed to be the reincarnation of the "talentless hard worker" and yet his DNA gets treated like God's essence in the story.
>>
>>282101889
If Madara was in purgatory and not the pure lands then Nagato or anyone could have been genjutsu'd into reviving him with rinne rebirth.
Madara stopped being Indra's chakra transmigrant at that point so his soul was definitely not tethered to earth.
>>
>>282101990
Didn't Kisame say that he and Samehada's chakra were identical, for infiltration purposes into the hidden cloud? So even if Samehada tried to inject its own chakra it might have not done anything. Kurama and Gyuki can disrupt genjutsu because their chakra is different from their jinchuriki's, at least as far as I understand it.
>>
>>282101995
Wait till you see the next fight when Naruto kills a guy.
>>
>>282102115
I think Kishi retconned this into the Shapeshifting Akatsuki jutsu killing you automatically when it elapses.
>>

>>282101889
> cycle of hatred
LMAO what cycle? The brothers didn't fight to the death, Hashirama and Madara didn't fight to the death, and the Uchiha lived in the leaf for the two generations it existed in the story with zero issues until Sasuke's dad decided to coup for absolutely no reason whatsoever. We NEVER see any sort of oppression of the uchiha, and the sheer idea is lunacy given their powers.
