How the hell did he lose this fight anyway?
>>282422057try clicking play and you'll see
>>282422123It doesn't make sense, the three of them are walking nukes and yet all they do is punch tobirama
>>282422159damn it's almost like shippuden was written independently from the original show
>>282422057Orochimaru is a lazy fuck who would rather stand and watch someone else fight his battles for him.>muh jutsu mastery>Casts like 3 jutsus in the entire series
The writer decided he did.
>>282423951>>282422123why is /a/ so unfunny
>>282422057Retcons.
>>2824220571st and 2nd were meant to be weaker than 3rd and 4st was meant to be the strongest kage before the retcon
>>282422057Shipppuden didn't rape the powerscale yet so the 1st and 2nd Hokages were just strong ninjas and not DBZ characters.
>>282425144>the original theme of naruto was the new generation shall surpass the old>4th capturing Kurama was supposed to be some momentous HOLY SHIT thing>3rd was supposed to dumpster 1st and 2nd>then all this gets tossed out for MUH HASHICELLS MUDDAFUCKA I'M JUST THAT GOOD YOU LITTLE FURFAG MOONEYED BITCH
>>282422057Kishimoto didn't plan to make Hashirama the biggest dicked Hokage to ever exist yet
>>282425362>>282425695Why are Hashirama cells so broken anyway? Does he have ayyee DNA or sum?
>>282422057Hiruzen was called "The God of Shinobi" for a reason. Minato was on track to surpass him, but up to that point (pre-retcons), Hiruzen was the biggest dick motherfucker to walk the earth in his youth.
>>282425809Senju descend from the ayys
Weren't they poorly summoned or something?Or just naturally weaker because they're copies of corpses?
>>282427027I think the canon explanation was that Orochimaru hadn't mastered edo tensei yet, so they were weakened.
>>282422057Kage level jutsu meant something different back then
>>282425809he was a random mutation+genius on top of the incarnation nonsense. Just a busted outlier even among outliers
>>282422057And A had chakra levels on par with the Hachibi. Everything makes sense until Kishimoto decides to contradict it.
>>282425809Never felt like Kishi did enough to make tree bullshit special. Especially since it beat Madara and full powered Nine tails at the same fucking time. All it was good for was boosting anyone who had a little hashi-cells on them.
>>282422057It's from the time when new generation was considered stronger than old generation, plus 3rd was considered the strongest hokage, plus corpses were not cooperating and Orochimaru had to control them manually.
>>282422057Lost? Hiruzen fucking died while Orochimaru is still living as a happy housewife.
>>282427027I don't think that came up until Kabuto showed up with a better version
>>282427822It was not the edo tensei that wasn't perfect but the technique to control corpses. Tobirama created edo tensei to raise fallen allies, not enemies. Orochimaru raised enemies and controlled them with a separate technique, which was not perfect.
>>282425809He lifted
>>282423310he does all kinds of weird summons and shit with snakes.
>>282427786the high level wood fighting style just seemed to be creating giant wood monsters that are just on par with or stronger than anything else for some reasoon
>>282430161in Asian culture, wood (especially old-growth wood) is believed to have mystical properties that make them excellent conduits for religious purposes like fighting evil spirits and performing magic. different species of wood also have different properties, I think it's yew or peach wood that's held in the highest regard.
>>282422057It's crazy that Orochimaru was way stronger here than he was fighting 4 tail cloak Naruto but did jack shit but stand and taunt. If he were slightly more aggressive he'd have had it in the bag.
Hashi cells will always be the biggest asspull in shonen. Bleach, OP, Zenkai boosts, Reiner’s consciousness transfer, etc. have nothing on this. It’s not even a fun asspull, it’s just obnoxious >need access to a super special jutsu that allows you to stop tailed spirits Hashi cells>need to regenerate limbsHashi cells>need to be able to spam KamuiHashi cells>need to be able to spam multiple sharinganHashi cellsSeems like everyone had this shit, it’s not even a senju thing specifically
>>282422057kill yourself narutard
>>282430335It's truly a wonder that despite Kimmimaro seemingly being the most direct descendant of kaguya based on looks, namesake, and ability they didn't do shit with his clan. Not even as a flashback, Hell Kabuta barely used him in his fight with Sasuke and Itachi.
>>282430351>defending modsdeath to jannies
>>282430335His cells are just, Perfect
>>282422057Why can't you just download the image instead of screenshotting it? Are you retarded?>narutardoh wait...
>>282430946It's probably a webp file.
>>282431023there's dozens of add-ons for downloading a webp as a normal image
>>282430946>>282431063I am not the one who screenshot this I just got the picture from that person.
>>282423310you never know when a sharingan-user might be watching. If you keep using all your secret, special jutsus everybody else will eventually too. Gotta keep your secrets if you want to keep a monopoly
>>282423310It's like kakashi, supposedly copied 1000 jutsus but uses none of them and always spams chidoriTurns out it's tiring to invent jutsus for just one character and he only had 1 week deadline in jump
>>282430351Newfags really don't understand how verboten Naruto used to be. Hell, ALL shounen shits, even Dragonball, used to be chased out of town on site in the "old" days. But the Naruto ending and the sheer apocalyptic fever around it destroyed that wall.EVERYONE was shitposting about that ending. Every board had at least one thread dedicated to the hilarity of everyone melting down over it. It'd be like if MLP broken containment across the entire site, all at once. What are you going to do, ban everyone?And then once that barrier was broken, that was kind of it. A bunch of anons realized they kind of maybe liked Naruto, and Bleach, and One Piece, and Dragonball unironically. The mods never seemed to bother much any more. Fast forward to today and now we have those radioactive Dragonball threads, WSJ generals, and roving bands of feral shitposters salivating over the next mainstream shounen manga to turn into shitpost central.
>>282432089What? I wasn't there during naruto dumps but I remember the screen of someone posting the madara meteorite panel on 4chan and getting tons of replies, so it wasn't really banned right?
>>282432263it was mostly enforced when Naruto was actually popular. 2007-2010. Nobody gave a shit about Naruto after Shippuden started airing, so it kinda faded out of public conscious.
>>282432292So why are you saying that it had to wait until Naruto's ending until shonen threads were finally tolerated?
>>282432318you're talking to two different people.
>>282432089we never harassed one piece fans it is a perfectly acceptable manga, better than average even, it's unfair to compare it to garbage like naruto, bleach or dragon ball
>>282432711no, it's because One Piece bombed outside of Japan so it never built up a big western fanbase. if Funimation had dubbed it from the start and it aired alongside DBZ and Naruto on Toonami it would've been just as big, and would get the same treatment.
>>282427794>living as a happy housewifeBecause he lost his hands and loose ability to cook?
>>282422057Why didn't the 2nd just dispel the jutsu like the big bad sharingan guy? Also 1st too, since you'd think he'd have told his brother about the jutsu.
>>282432089That's odd. I recall shitposting in Shippuden way back during granna+sakura v sasori fight, as well as sasuke vs deidara, as well as sasuke vs itachi. No bans.
>>282433293>One Piece bombed outside of JapanThere are more countries in the world besides Japan and the USA. One Piece only bombed in the US, thanks to 4kids' efforts. In Europe, as well as most rest of the world overall, One Piece was always popular.
