The probability of the Lucky Jackpot guy's attacks decreased the more he used it or something, I think.
Yet later he has jackpot , so yeah that explanation isn't right

Yeah, it's just what he said.
I'm not suprised actually I kinda figured the Mummykage wasn't done yet he went too easily
It was waaay too obvious, and people here that didn't notice it only did it because they tend to forget the Naruto chapters, which is normal considering how boring the chapters are.
I like how Naruto saved Sakura from two ninja, only to later save Hinata after she gets punched by a brass knuckles dude. That's really telling of these characters….
I have no complaints on Ikkaku. That was the best chapter of anything I've read in a long while.
@metteminne:

Actually even though Shishigawara's powers still doesn't make any damn sense…the explanation kind of does. The explanation was the probability of hitting a jackpot decreased every time he attacked. It doesn't entirely eliminate the odds of getting a jackpot, it just lowers them.
Of course what constitutes a jackpot and what are the odds of it occurring and how long it takes before the probability returns to normal is still whatever Kubo says it is since having powers based around being lucky is the laziest writing in existance.

So actually it means Kubo didn't give any crap about any explanation what so ever
good job Kubo

No wonder there's like three or more explanations of everything in Bleach, all of which probably contradict each other. You gotta hand it to Kubo for being such a champion of not giving a fuck/forgetfulness.. he should get a medal for it. :P
@metteminne:

"Lowered probability" is not the same as "zero probability.
With the explanation of his ability, it's actually pretty consistant.
Kubo actually remembered stuff about Ikkaku, which alone made this chapter good.
Naruto was bleh. I can see why Kishi wants to keep this arc alive as long as possible, but it really gets way too dragged now. So many things left to do and we still are at the Kages and see Naruto beating up fodder.
I mean, seriously? They can't even beat up fodder by themselves?
I also like how Kishi doesn't even fucking bother to take that "clones with Kyubi chakra will fuck you up" issue into account.
Yea that's my biggest gripe with Naruto right now. I could live with Naruto beating these amazing guys and all the dead kages or swordsman or anyone with a name at all.
BUT why the hell do the rest of the Ninja's get degraded to not even beating these zetsu clones. Would it be too much to ask to have the former rookies be able to beat CLONES.
To me it would be like if the strawhats were in the FINAL battle and we had Zoro/Luffy/Sanji fighting all the admirals, vice admirals, warlords, blackbeard, ect you name it. Ok that's fine and all, BUT not only are they fighting them they also had to fight the 100,000 marines and all the kuma bots while Usopp, Nami and the rest are standing around doing nothing. By the end of the series I expect everyone in the strawhat crew to beat kuma bots. Just like in Naruto I expected to see the Rookie 9 to be able to be taking on the akutsumi on their own.
I like how Naruto saved Sakura from two ninja, only to later save Hinata after she gets punched by a brass knuckles dude. That's really telling of these characters….
Actually, that was a Zetsu clone disguised as Hinata that got beat up by brass knuckles guy. However, the real Hinata was about to get whacked by three guys with swords.
"Lowered probability" is not the same as "zero probability.
With the explanation of his ability, it's actually pretty consistant.
Yet that doesn't explain him getting it like twenty times in a row and then even being surprised when he doesn't get it every once in a while.
A user who'se ability is based solely on chance should know this.
I figured that guy's ability was a diminishing return sort of thing. Also Ikkaku's sword breaking was weird. It should be a 3 segmented thing…Also I thought it was crazy hard to break one. With the way they treat their swords a punch shouldn't have done anything really no matter the lucky hit.

That's… kind of the point, though. Due to his power, a battle's never lasted long enough for him to have come across a non-jackpot before.
Plus, he's kind of an idiot.
Hehehehe "I'm not flying. I'm just standing." lmao is Kubo making fun of himself or is he really trying to explain something fundamental to Bleach physics 467 chapters into the series?
Kubo actually fully explained the airwalking stuff waaaaaaaaay back when he first introduced it.

I really liked that part. He said it so matter of factly and just hops down to give the kid a break lol. Ikkaku really did make this chapter bearable.

Huh ? If his power was purely lottery based, then shouldn't the result thus be random and so have a lot more non jackpot situations ?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Kubo actually fully explained the airwalking stuff waaaaaaaaay back when he first introduced it.
Before the SS arc ?
I'll start off with Bleach this time:
[hide]
First Panel: I'M CONFUSING!!
Oh wait, it's just the monsters.
Tagline: Does even God fall?
He's not God. He's not even good enough to be Garth Ennis fodder.
Hitsu: Saves his ass
What?
Hitsu: I didn't do this because of pity, I did it because even after you die I might still be trapped here.
Assuming he doesn't already know that the worlds will disappear whenever someone is beat, or that the rules are different for Hi2Gaya, I have to admit that he's thinking ahead here.
Hitsu: Freezes kid So I'll let you decide if you want to take you with me or let me go and die of frostbite later.
Never mind.
Punk Kid: I ain't scared of you!
Interesting transition. >>;
Punk Kid: No fair! I never knew you could fly!
You're fighting a fucking ghost you moron! ….Wait, I think you're actually supposed to be stupid. Never mind.
Punk: Punches spear and breaks it without diverging its course
Hello? Physics? Are you there? .....Did Kubo misplace you in the Background Drawer?
Ikkaku: FUCK IT! LET'S PUNCH EACH OTHER BLOODY LIKE MEN!!
Awwww Yeeaaaaaah!
Page 15, Middle Bottom Panel (Mangastream): DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR!!!
XD XD XD
Punk: My luck's going down with continued use!
.....Huh? I don't get it.
Fight Scene: PUNCH! HEADBUTT!
Hey, I'm grabbing some snacks for this. I'm taking what I can get.
Ikkaku: Your lucky punch was no match for my hard head. I'm Zidane mothufucka!
Text: A Lucky Man's Headbutt Smarts Like A Bitch!
Yes it does comic, yes it does. [/hide]
Naruto:
[hide]
Snake: Those guys haven't said anything troublesome yet.
….Seal their fucking mouths!
Mummy Guy: Comes back to life
Gee, who didn't see that one coming?
Cover: Yoooooooooo~~~!
Eh, I think it's cool.
Mummy Guy: I split myself.
Hrm, at least the ups and downs are explained.
Naruto: Where's the fire.
Gaara: It's already done.
Mr. Silly: Idiot.
I'm going to miss you Mr. Silly.
Bee: I had to stop and pee.
The battlefield is turning orange, because those are the colors red and yellow make.
Naruto: My clones can now act independently, allowing me to spread my Jesus everywhere.
Convenient, and with no limitations mind you despite being low on chakra earlier during the former Raikage fight.
Ninjas: Don't move! We could be enemies! Wait for Naruto!
THIS IS A WORLD WHERE THERE'S CLONES ALL THE TIME!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE NINJAS!?
Naruto: I'm here.
Everyone: In Awe
I'm gonna' crack soon if I don't get even a teensy bit of entertainment.
Shika: He wanted to be Hokage, but I don't know if that matters anymore.
Truer words have never been spoken. He's already surpassed Hokage status anyway. His position is a forgone conclusion.
Clones: INJURED BIRD TECHNIQUE
I like that they were actually clones and not humans. Better than the alternative.
Naruto: I shall now proceed to save everyone because only I can do it!
That's what his actions say anyway.
Hinata: Gets smacked around
....Will we....dare I hope?
Hinata: Gets hit Turns into clone
Oh whatev--
Hinata: Gets into fight
....Nope, I know what's happening. She will get no acknowledgement at all.
Naruto: Saves her
..........Eh, what the hell. At least he's paying her back.
Mummy Man: Jutsu
Oh god he's going to undo all the seals and start this whole cycle over again isn't he?
[/hide]
It looks like Naruto finally remembered Hinata.
It looks like Naruto finally remembered Hinata.
I'd wait until next chapter before saying something like that - with his track record, he'll just leave right away without bringing up that whole "sacrifice and confession" thing.
You keep talking about this thing called Hinata. What is that?
Isn't Hinata that pop star from Scandinavia.
It's true if you punch a slot machine enough times, it would eventually stop working.
I tried it on my TV once.
Likely hood that Naruto will NOT address Hinata's love confession next week?
The probability of Naruto acknowledging Hinata's confession decrease every time he sees her.
Naruto intercepts the three swordsmen attacking Hinata and easily defeats them
Naruto: Ha ha, Yeah! Who'dda man?! I'm the man!
Hinata: Oh, thank you Naruto. You saved my life.
Naruto: Oh, hi, um…......Hinabi. Didn't even see you there. Well I'm off.
Hinata: ......................FML
What was the chapter that Hinata confessed her love for Naruto? How did he react?
@Gourmet:

http://www.mangareader.net/93-442-12/naruto/chapter-437.html
Also: 121 chapters lets see if there will be more or getting adressed.
@Gourmet:
What was the chapter that Hinata confessed her love for Naruto? How did he react?
He flew into a rage and went further into the Demon Fox mode then he had ever gone before and was honestly trying to kill the villain of the arc. It was quite dramatic and well done actually…..
And then her confession is never mentioned again, even though it played a big part in how pissed off Naruto got. Naruto doesn't even seem to remember it. It's one of the top ten worst moments of the series. Not the worst though sadly. Seems like it might finally get addressed next chapter. Maybe. And even then it'll have been such a long time that it'll be difficult to care since most of us hate Naruto (the character and series) by this point.
As for chapter number it was 437 so it's been about 120 chapters now. Ugh.
That's basically it for the latest awful chapter of Naruto. Everyone is completely useless and the treatment of women and secondaries has gotten even worse. Kishi sure knows how to reinvent himself. To think I actually had some hope that Lee and Hinata would kick ass in this war. Back when Naruto was good and I was a fan they were the two characters I really hoped would get stronger and more confident and have these great character arcs. But that was not to be.
I take it you haven't read very far into Naruto. If you're at Chunin Exams or Zabuza then trust me that's as good as the series gets. Stop after chapter 139. There's mildly enjoyable stuff after that but mostly it's just a long dredge between bad writing and badly done Shonen tropes and by the end you'll just feel kind of depressed. It's a pretty bad series honestly.
As for Bleach: I didn't really like this chapter but the fact that one of the few cool characters got to kick the ass of an annoying as Hell character did make it better than most of the chapters that have come out this arc. Low bar there. Really low.
Btw. I just realized that over the past two or three years I don't think I've ever genuinely enjoyed a Bleach chapter. The only Bleach chapter I ever remember enjoying was the Mayuri vs Szayel chapter because it was so over-the-top in its cruelty that it was kind of awesome. And I think that's about it. More than a hundred chapters and I can count the number that I've enjoyed on one hand. Bleach really is an awful series.
To be honest here, the best thing about part 2 (for me, at least) was Shikamaru's developement. The death of Asuma (although he had been quite underdveloped, considering he was the fucking son of the third hokage, and his fighting performances till that point were lackluster at best, but that's not the point) and it's impact on Shikamaru, and how he got his revenge by killing Hidan almost alone, it was awesome, even more considering Shikamaru is one of the most likable characters in the whole series.
The sad part is. . .that was it. Apart from that, everything else is Naruto and Sasuke, and the rest of the cool side characters we knew and love got no character arcs, as Kareem Said pointed out, and Rock Lee and Hinata NEEDED them, like desperately, in order to reassure their progress, both combat wise and personality wise.
Of course, characters that had maybe some potential in them, like Shino and Ten Ten, will allways be left in the dark, and Neji, the most powerful ninja of the Konoha 11, has spent ALL of part 2 in the freaking dark.
Bottom line, Kishi is probably the worst mangaka when handling his otherwise initialy wide and interesting cast of characters, I'd say even worse than Toriyama in that aspect.
Ten Ten = potential? lolwut
I said "that MAYBE had potential". But she had far more potential in her than what she ended up being: off-panel lost fights, and complete irrelevance. Absolute 0.
Give her a background, give her a family, give her a named attack, something!
Edit: And if you doubt me, just read the Rock Lee spin off manga: there Ten Ten has a freaking personality. So yes, it CAN be done.
This week episodes:
Bleach,wow the episode felt nice,had ending feeling to it(like the chapter before the timeskip), ichixrukia fans probaly went beserk with episode,too bad bleach didnt end here.
Naruto,HAHAHHAHAHAHA i guess the anime staff thinks the war is joke too( seriously you guys got see new opening),the episode itself was okay,well atleast tenten was there and she was usefull.Next week all girls filler,hinata looks sad in some parts the preview i wonder why…
Oh the new ending was for the narutoxsasuke fans i guess.
Wow just wow. The 4th Great Ninja War is already pathetically lighthearted as it is, and the new opening just makes it seem even worse. How the hell would someone get the idea of making such an opening for a war arc.
HAHAHAHA that opening was funny as shit.
best naruto opening ever…
I've always wanted to know how Naruto would look as a gay musical. Now I certainly do.
Which opening is it? No way that I am watching the episode
It's this: http://www.youtube.com/EmX2a23PtXg
Dancing, prancing ninja, really bored-looking zombies, and a side dose of trolling.
@metteminne:

Enjoy
I dont even read/watch naruto and this looks ridiculously hilarious.
That dancing is especially hilarious.
That opening is hilarious.
And it's supposed to be for the war? Even better.
What was that ? Why they're flying ? And what did they do to Raikage ?
And it's supposed to be for the war? Even better.
Yeah, i thought it was a filler opening, but apparently it's really returning to canon soon.
That opening was so hilarious that I spit out the crow living inside my mouth.
I mean coffee, coffee. Damn Naruto's rubbing off a little too much on me lately.
I like how the opening indicates Sakura and Sai will help fight Tobi.
The hilarity of that claim makes me all sweaty.
Is that opening meant to be a metaphor for what the series has become? One big joke.
Holy shit that opening is gold
better than anything after the timeskip of naruto
Wow just wow. The 4th Great Ninja War is already pathetically lighthearted as it is, and the new opening just makes it seem even worse. How the hell would someone get the idea of making such an opening for a war arc.
