Naruto Discussion III [Redux]

[supaluigi]

Back to business, I find it kind of nice that Pain is originally from rain country, so at least the civil war but makes sense.

Bzzzt. Try again.

sorry, i forgot about the mentally retarded children of the pokemon world....

obviously that mother isnt overprotective though.

[Tokoro Ataru]

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.

You know for some reason this would be a good idea if everyone in the Naruto-verse was blind. No eyes = no problems from Sharingan/Byakugan/whatever Pain has/whatever Zetsu has/etc. (and yes, I know Itachi is going blind from his overuse of his, but he's not there yet)

If anyone's going to go blind from overuse, it should be Mandara. He's been around for a little over a hundred years, you'd think he'd have used it long enough for the supposed side-affects to kick in, unless of course, the whole going blind thing is a theory, which it is. I don't remember anyone ever mentioning that overuse can result in eye damage, just chakra exhaustion. If so, and I'm mistaken, pics or it didn't happen.

[Aldrich]

Yea.

Imo, him being naruto's brother would have been really retarded.

Not everyone needs to be related Aldrich. I mean isn't that the reason for the uchiha bullshit?

That's not it, it's just because he doesn't have any sense of individuality and doesn't have that "major villain" feeling that made me interested in him in the first place back when he was still the unrevealed, unnamed Akatsuki leader.

First we learn he takes his orders from Madara so he's not the real AL, then this chapter strongly hinting at the fact his first appearance wasn't even his real self and that he's actually some random Uchiha looking crybaby douche swaping bodies. Not to mention the incredibly lame backstory that sounds like something Kishi made up on the spot two weeks ago.

My shallow reasons to like a Naruto character: design, backstory, fighting style. Pein horribly fails in the three categories.

[gaara d. lucci]

I thought u like Pein's look Aldrich? Or you could mean that since he isn't related to Naruto, Pein's design was just Kishi being lazy instead of storyline purposes. That I'd agree with depending on how this flashback goes.

And we haven't seen him fight yet, so the jury's still out.

[Aldrich]

Pein is the dark haired kid with the shitty haircut. That's his real identity, and that design is garbage.

And yeah the fact he made him look like EVUL NARUTO at the beginning for no reason other than to establish that pathetic, tired Team 7 parallel again (THERES THE LOUD DUMB KID THE DARK JACKASS AND THE GIRL DOESNT IT REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE NUDGE NUDGE) doesn't help.

Naruto bro >:(

[Cap'n Carter]

He kind of reminds me of that SAD, BROODING asshole from the Samurai Shodown/Spirits games who fought with the buzzsaw thing and spent his time crying about his girlfriend or whatever

Seriously I'm sick of TRAGICALLY TORTURED characters

[Sanctum]

I'd rather just have a vilain be someone who's perfectly fine, and just kills people because he enjoys it.

[Gorlom]

"fine"? oxymoron?

[Sanctum]

Well, background wise, nothing to indicate that his psyche would develop that way, no forseeable problems, etc.

Just fucks someone up.

["Fire Fist" Ace]

This guy?

[Tokoro Ataru]

Dang, even in the fillers Ibiki is just such a great character. Probably outside Anko, he's one of the few characters who actually gets development outside the manga. (even if it means getting a wimpy little brother)

[mangafan1]

I don't care if Pain cried one time. Compare him with an Uchiha is such retarded. I'm sure he has great jutsus, his bloodline must be terrible powerful, and of course, who cares about his past when he killed Hanzou, his family and every shinobi that don't like his ideals? He knows Jiraya too, but he wants to kill him without contemplations. For me his design is good because he has 6 bodies and like the fodder said, his heart lacks any piety. Isn't enough reason to like his character?

But you could say the same about Itachi. (except if the whole I wanted to protect my family and Madara actually killed them thing is true)

[mangafan1]

When I say "family" I mean Hanzou's family, not his family.

[Ronaldinho]

When I say "family" I mean Hanzou's family, not his family.

But destroying one's own family is much more cold-blooded than killing the whole family of an enemy which is reasonable since they are ninjas.

[tony-kun]

Why are you nit-picking at mangafan's broken logic?

[Jay_n_Silentbob]

Such retarded, indeed.

[Refii]

This guy?

Naruto would kick ASS if he were the new enemy/anti-hero/kill off Narutard and replace him with Kefka.
