Naruto Discussion III [Redux]

[Zephos]

This is already starting to detoriate.
I mean come on, Konan getting defeated from an offhand water attack was just hilariously stupid.

[IT'S A LION!]

Lol, Pain is emo and goth.
I wonder about some of Pain's bodies now. The first one (NARUTO BROTHER LOLOLOL) reminds me a bit of that kid who told Nagato to shut up.
EDIT: And yeah, I guess it's now obvious that Konan is not that dark-haired girl next to Li'l Minato.

[Cap'n Carter]

I did kind of like how Kishimoto invented a new set of apprentices to shut up the people looking at that 50 year old panel, though

[tony-kun]

Too bad he made the Tobi is Obito fags get louder by giving Tobi sharingan.

[IT'S A LION!]

I did kind of like how Kishimoto invented a new set of apprentices to shut up the people looking at that 50 year old panel, though

Still, the whole "former apprentice turns against his/her master" thing is getting tiresome (Current tally: Orochi, Sasuke, Sasori, Konan, Pain). I guess Kishi's never seen that one movie... what was it called... oh yeah, STAR WARS.

[tony-kun]

Were they even really his apprentices?

They were just some kids he took care of for like a week.

[IT'S A LION!]

No, I don't think so. He taught them ninjutsu, and Konan looks a little older in the second part of the flashback.

[Gorlom]

did people stop makeing the hand seals at some point or are they still doing those just between frames?

its a lion: i think thats where he stole it from =P (j/k)

[tony-kun]

Judging from sasuke's explanation, they are secretly doing them. (Deidara was hiding earth seals or some shit.)

Makes about as much sense as everything else in naruto

[Ronaldinho]

Is it just me or is every team in Naruto composed of one girl and two guys?

[Zephos]

Its part of Kishimoto's instincts.

"Alright, I got these two new villains/antagonists. They're pretty cool so far. Shit, I need a motive and backstory or something, I mean where are these two coming from....erg......uhn wha..what? AKK! NO ....MUST...NOT....MAKE ...THEM....SADSACK.......CHILDREN......ARGHHHH....RIDICULOUS SOB STORY GO TO JUMP EDITORS....


No!! no....no."

[Gorlom]

btw... where is the token black guy in naruto? i dont recall any atm.

[Vanessa]

There you go.

[Zephos]

In before someobody says "THis guy who was somewhat darker toned in the anime is BLACK!!!"

[Gorlom]

There you go.

hahah "black gai" =P

[Geg]

What?

......What?


If anything, the kid Pain kills yahiko and takes his body.

as all of pain's bodies seem to have the same eyes.

It would make no sense to have Pain be the light haired kid with the bad hair cut's eyes. I don't see how you could come to that conclusion.


and I still like this better than Pain being naruto's brother or some shit.

Honestly, it could be either one of them. Nagato has Pein's eyes and stuff but Yahiko seems to share a lot of Pein's ideals and stuff. I'm thinking there's some kind of weird combo thing going on, because it makes no sense from a storytelling standpoint to give the kid a big speech about changing the country and protecting everyone and then say "lol that other guy is pein you have no importance here".

Why do all main manga characters have gay ass storylines about either neglection or family deaths?

Pein is no different, and I actually thought he would be. I'm not giving up on liking him, but it's so normal for him to have such a backstory. "Th-those eyes!"; how many times have we heard that in Naruto.

[Gorlom]

because small kids cant run off on adventures if their overprotective mothers are still alive...

[supaluigi]

Bzzzt. Try again.

[Tsuchirinhon]

Why do all main manga characters have gay ass storylines about either neglection or family deaths?

Because people eat up stories about a wandering warrior with a troubled past, abandoned and/or betrayed at a young age by their friends and/or family and/or town.
