Not enough people read Hokoto no Ken, evidently.
Naruto X Makes a Man Out of You
-
-
Not enough Naruto threaders. As we all know, Kenshiro beats rock, paper and scissors.
-
Kenshiro speaks with the fist. Nuff said.
-
Why vote Kenshiro when the Great Teacher Onizuka is on the stage?
-
Because Onizuka will be killed? :ermm:

Both of those pages are from the Zabusa arc, Team 7's first real mission. At that point, Naruto and Sasuke had just begun training together and pretty much hated each other. (They showed great teamwork against Zabusa with the whole "fake windmill shuriken" strategy, though.) Their rivalry was beginning and the mission would ultimately bring them closer together, but are you going to argue that they were already friends at that point? That seems a little farfetched to me.
Friends laugh together, have fun together, show kindness towards each other, and so on. We hardly saw anything of the sort with Naruto and Sasuke, which makes their "friendship" a little hard to swallow. Shikamaru and Chouji are way more believable as best friends, and we only learned about their relationship in a short flashback.
Also, friendships tend to end when one party attempts to kill the other and is unrepentant about it.
It's clear that Naruto and Sasuke have an important bond, but as Outerspec said, Naruto seems way more invested in their "friendship" than Sasuke, which leaves him seeming obsessed – hardly an attractive quality for the main character.
Well, Naruto did defeat his dark side by giving it a hug, so...
This is a shonen manga. People become best friends in after tgey attempt to murder you all the time. Sasuke and Naruto did show kindness,laughs, and other stuff together. The gaara arc even shows Sasuke considers them has friends. Sasuke just like to act tough, so he rarly smiles. He does sometime http://www.mangareader.net/93-186-8/naruto/chapter-181.html Look at Gai and Kakashi, who always serious and Gai is the one challenging him. Sasuke even noticed Sakura was scared of the chunnin exams and tried to build her confidence up.
Naruto just feels he can turn Sasuke. He did the same for gaara.

Late to think of this, but Wagomu, I am disappoint. I found this:
yNvwu7PN_eI
Which you didn't think to use to persuade me in the war.
Edit: Also this-[hide]7qumhHYE2_o[/hide]In retrospect, it was a missed opportunity, but I forgot about your Char obsession at that moment, haha.

Kenshiro will never make me laugh.

And a good hero is kickass and hilarious. ;P

Just got my new Dell notepad (i3 350, 3gb, 360HDD). I would have liked a little better configuration for games & graphics but anyways I got no time. Good enough for a management in finance student. Wish me luck guys never been out of my town or studied in a good institute, college starts from august 30th. Little nervous…

This all the encouragement you'll ever need.
Really, good luck.

The lack of support for Kenshirou realy is disappointing. From a purely objevtive standpoint, he's the best hero on that list.
-
He was acceptable and building toward likable before suddenly turning into an evil prick. There were reasons, but to destroy what was being built that quickly with no internal conflict/remorse at all comes across very badly. And he never improved after his turn. He just nosedived as a character.
Like I said, consider what happened to him just before his decision.
It's not really as "random" as you think. Just because he decided to turn dark anyways, despite having help from friends doesn't make it bad writing. I mean, do you know how the real world is?
Just because you had "support" all the way through your life, does not mean you'll stay sane. Especially if something horrible happened to you prior in your life. Memories of those events tend to linger in people, and regardless of how much freinds, support, and family you still may have… One negative person is enough for someone to throw all the good away and venture on to their decent. Peer pressure and all that jazz.
There's really no rules for this. Just because people were treating him good, doesn't mean he should turn out good. That's just not realistic. And story-wise... To expect that, that would be pretty predictable.
I admit that Sasuke as a character NOW has turned pretty bland. That I agree with. But his actual decision was fine, writing-wise. Obviously, story-wise, we're supposed to feel a sense of "regret" for Sasuke. That's the whole point.

Even if Sasuke was friendly in the past, he's now just a homicidal sociopath. Sasuke in the past (and pretty much up until he fought Itachi) wouldn't people just to get what he wants (excluding Orochimaru, then again Orochimaru was as good as dead to begin with so… yea...). Now, Sasuke kills anything that gets in his way (all the samurai, he pretty much left waterboy and juugo for dead, and tried to kill Karen and Team 7); He's not the kind little gloomy boy he once was :sad:. Sasuke may have considered people his friends in the past, but ever since Itachi died, he just wants to kill everything.
Neither Guy nor Kakashi was ever a homicidal maniac nor an internationally wanted criminal for picking a fight with all the Kages. The rivalry behind Guy and Kakashi is friendly and innocent at best. The rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke is retarded and filled with yaoiness.
Gaara and Sasuke are completely different. There are too many differences among them to serve a comparison of analogy.

How is Goku beating Kenshiro?
Must be Aizen's doing.
-
Kukukukuku. I hate heroes in general so I voted the one person who isn't a hero.

KUKUKUKUUUUUUUU. To Alucard, the lot of you are nothing but dogshit.

Kenshiro cannot defeat Goku's uber kindness.
The gayest thing ever can easily kill a manly man.

@THE:

Kenshiro is just as uber kind.
god compassion's the gayest thing ever
-
"Just as uber kind?"
Kenshirou is on Jesus-level kindness.
Goku's a selfish jerk.
-
In terms of "manliness" aren't Guts and Kenshiro pretty damn equal?
-
Nagai characters wrote the Old Testament of Manliness.
Kenshirou wrote the New Testament of Manliness.
Guts is a devout follower.
-

Yeah I guess that's how one should look at it, Kenshirou did it before Guts.
-
Nagai characters wrote the Old Testament of Manliness.
Kenshirou wrote the New Testament of Manliness.
Guts is a devout follower.
Jonathan Joestar wrote the Q'uran of manliness then.
-
Jonathan was featured in the New Testament, actually. :p
-
That was a most satisfying read.

College starts on the 26th for me, so we're sorta in the same boat!

Here are some advertisements for the 4th Naruto Shippuden movie for anyone interested.

Looks good, I hope they don't disappoint. They're bringing the 4th Hokage into this one after all. The last one was great too.
-
And the girl from that movie will fall in love with Naruto i bet.
-
That or being totally useless.
-
That or being totally useless.
Can't it be both?
Actually, it'd be great if the girl that falls in love with him turns out to be Kushina. Kind of a BttF kind of deal, only Naruto would totally be onboard with it. I would definitely see the movie if only there was a scene of him and Kushina making out.
-
I take it the movie travels back in time to when the series was good?
-
That movie looks fucking terrible =\
-
@Cyan:
I take it the movie travels back in time to when the series was good?
What, and let Naruto ruin it too?
-
Actually at the end of the movie it will be revealed that the past was actually the future and the guy who is Naruto's father is actually his son. Kakashi's son is also a character.

Is Aizen involved too? Oh I hope so.
-
So than it turns out everyone is related because they are their own time paradox clones?
-
hey is anyone looking forward to storm 2? and thanks Robby for closing the thread i made before i regreted it.
-

Cool, then he can make out with his future daughter or daughter-in-law.
…Oh c'mon people! Is a little blatant incest too much to ask for?!
-
Storm 2 is an upcoming Naruto video game, apparently.
-
After this movie espect more Naruto x Minato fanart.
And Storm was a good game, but story mode was weak.
-
Robby is such a good man. :cwy:
-
Lol, is no one looking forward to this movie? =(
-
Nope… nor the game.
-
The game in question is this one right here.

From what my "contact" in Namco tells me it's epic as all Hell.
Sad that One Piece doesn't get this treatment for their videogames.
I'm also not supposed to say that the character roster is QUITE alluring.
I've said enuff.

Whoa! The game does look great! If I played manga based games that'd be something else to look forward to.
-
Now… just imagine an One Piece game like that... exclusively for the PlayStation 3...
...
Go ahead, I'll let you change your pants.
...
This game makes me so fucking angry.
Yes, I hate Naruto like the average man. I do NOT have fun with the manga whatsoever... but I played my friend once (after he begged and begged me for me to play, despite the fact he's not a fan of Naruto) on Naruto Storm and... I found myself having... fun... and I was using Sasuke...
Once I returned to reality, I dropped my controller and got uber pissed the fuck off.
Repeating "why couldn't One Piece make a game like this?!".
-
Maddening, ain't it?
While Naruto itself is utter shit, its games are somehow incredibly fun.
-
Bitter Irony. XD
What's the reason for OP not having a game at this level? Is it not marketable enough?
-
Why does Naruto get the sexy fighting games on recent systems and Jojo only gets shit PS2 games.
