Ichigo in essence can always be described as 1 step forward, 1 step backwards.
Nardo and Bleh Thread III: Naruto is a terrible terrible manga

I would love it if orochimaru's double-cross was in order to take over obito's body. Not only would he get the uchiha body he's lusted after for so long but it would make sense. Lords knows it would be better than just leaving obito as the villain
-
His no-nonsense attitude is one. The goofy airhead stereotype is so overused to the point where using it anymore will illicit facepalms all on its own. Ichigo isn't like that, and yet he doesn't fall into a lot of the pitfalls other super-serious characters fall into. He's not excessively stoic, and while not one to joke he does have a sense of humor. I also like that he usually exhibits incredible self confidence, but he isn't in-your-face about it.

But Obito isn't pretty any more~

Haha, I admit, I did get a chuckle out of "three monsters, four super zombies, and now we got one idiot. Great."

Can we all agre that Karin is worse than Sasuke?

I'm fully okay with this. Sasuke may be in love with himself too. But at least he's got better odds that Karin.

The only reason Sasuke can garner more hate is that he has more screentime.Even all of his darkness can't hope to compete with the kind of atrocity Karin exhibited this chapter.
-
Sure, I'd say Karin's worse. Sasuke deserves more hate because he's a larger detriment to the manga, but he wasn't even a terrible character until the Kage Summit.

Sasuke wax bad before that. See: victory against Deidara and when Obito told him why Itachi did what he did.
-
I havent read Naruto in a while, so i powered through it.
So basically Kishimoto has fallen to fan pressure, by first making naruto and hinata canon, then bringing out a major asspul, infact a dues ex-machina and sasuke is all good now.
Well… Glad to see nothing has changed.Unless... Sasuke teams with Obito and Madara when he sees them going all MUH CLAN MUH FAMILY MUH HATRED MUH FREEDOM. Then... Nothing would have changed
-

The victory against Deidara was bad writing in general, not to the detriment of Sasuke. And I could actually get behind Sasuke's motivations before he went insanely evil for no particular reason. Sure, he was misguided, but understandably so.
-
In like 2-3 chapters from now Sakura and Karin will be fighting over Sasuke while Naruto and Sasuke fistbump and then everyone heads back home to Konoha, happily laughing, while the wolves eat Neji's corpse.
you know I'm way late to the party, but I just have to say that this part made me spit out my drink.
-
I just read the chapter… so after spending literally years making Sasuke into a super emo villain, all it took was a shitty story to make him "good" again?
And he has the previous Hokage backing him up so everyone is going to love and forgive him....
Kishi why?On another note, after evaluating how bad Naruto and Bleach are, and yet still reading it each week, I have discovered that Stockholm Syndrome applies to manga too...
-
Kishimoto is just a lazy writer, since any random user on here can come up with ways in which Sasuke could have achieved his goal of revenge without killing every dick or harry in the way. Of course things could always get worse, like Kishimoto could have him kill the current group he is with for "complete" revenge, in which he might as well have Sasuke kill every other ninja in the world because of some connection to other ninja. The scary thing is that all sorts of awful could happen because apparently Shounen Jump seem to think that all their readers are morons. But long as things look "cool" then it doesn't matter right? #sarcasm
-
One of Kishimoto's big failings as the author and artist behind Naruto was his inability to realize that taking what should have been a relatively friendly rivalry, blowing it way out of proportion, and making it the template and backbone of his manga was a horrible idea. Naruto has always had the idea of rivals as one of its central concepts, which made for some relatively interesting fights early on, but it was never given as much narrative importance as Sasuke and Naruto's 'rivalry' was in Part 2. There was a limit to how enjoyable the redemption of Sasuke could have been even when he'd just left the village and hadn't done anything particularly villainous or evil. Naruto would have been fine, although not stellar, if they'd been able to resolve things before Sasuke went the road of the evulz. Unfortunately, Kishimoto decided that the best idea in the universe would be to take something that hadn't been all that important until the end of the first part and make it retroactively responsible for how shitty and screwed up the ninja system is. It's almost as terrible of an idea as making Naruto's incestuous mother having come from a famous ninja clan!
-
Kinda dumb that Naruto spends, what, 4-5 years of his life trying to bring Sasuke back to Konoha, and yet in the end he's not even the one to impact Sasuke's final decision at all.
-
If he did people would have just screamed "talk no jutsu lololololl".

@Sonic:

Still better than asspull-jutsu. Or Kishi-sucks-donkey-balls-as-a-writer…-jutsu. Besides, the only scenario resulting in fans not bitching would've been Sasuke's death (of course I'm not counting the several fangirls crying out in agony).

Could have been a useful tool during the war, so why didn't the Arrancar use it?
Ahh… I suppose Kubo forgot.

No, it was a time span of a few months when he started to chase Sasuke. The 2 year time-skip doesn't count.

If Aizen is arrogant enough to just stand still and let himself be attacked, he's arrogant enough to not bother with that device.

That's true. But he could give the device to his subordinates who aren't as arrogant and powerful as him…
-
Huh. Haven't been in the Naruto and Bleach thread in a while….Reads title Oh man! It's happened!?
-

He's so arrogant that he doesn't think he needs to outfit his Arrancar with the device either.

Kubo only came up with that so Orihime could get away with tearfully kissing Ichigo goodbye without him noticing her. I don't think it he planned on using it again after that. If Ichigo knew how Orihime really felt about him he might actually have to display emotions.

Overseas fans. Japanese fans eat Sasuke up and would hate it if he died.

Hey guys, can anyone find that Ichigo/Slowpoke pic for when Momo was stabbed (the second time)?
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it.

She didn't manage to kiss him, backed out at the last moment.
Was genuinely surprised no headway was made on that after the timeskip, and I generally could care less about any romance stuff in comics.

http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/63463988/1 Real Naruto, anyone?
-
So soon?! Hell, yeah! Off to read…
I'm with Asuma; Sour Cream and Onion all the way.
-
-
Patato chip wars more harcore than ninja war 3!
-
Anybody who doesn't like lightly salted must be a terrible person.
-
How come I haven't read the real manga earlier? It's awesome.
and obv it's lightly salted>everything
-
nah sour cream and onion all the way. Lightly salted is just to plain
-
I'm on the Sour Cream and Onion team as well. Though consomme is a close second.
Naruto and Bleach III: Consomme, Lightly Salted, or Salted Seaweed.
-
Sour Cream & Onion is da shizznit.
-
Sour Cream & Onion #1
-
I'll jump on the sour cream and onion bandwagon
-
Is there Pizza flavor?
Because those are the shit !
-
Of course sour cream and onion owns them all, but it only comes second to sweet paprika.
-
Sour Cream and Onion may be my favorite, but I've got a soft spot for Cool Ranch as well.
-
God I want to actualy make a honey and mustard dip and eat something with it.
And not just have such a tiny coating on the over priced bread crumbs Lidl sells once a year D:
-
Lightly salted is the best.
-
@Maes:
Sour Cream and Onion may be my favorite, but I've got a soft spot for Cool Ranch as well.
Dip SC&O chips in a ranch dressing dip for some overkill of flavor.
When I'm feeling extra un-healthy, I do this. -
@Aru:
http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/63463988/1 Real Naruto, anyone?
This makes Fake Naruto bite the dust so much it is pitiful
And lightly salted > all
-
I like my food simple, so lightly salted is the best.
But sour cream & onion is also really good.
-
How is it possibile that the chip war was way more interesting and compelling than the whole, infinite ninja war in "the dark side" of Naruto? This war also had a satisfiying finale, something that the ninja war will never have…
-
Lightly salted would be my pick.
-
None of the above. BBQ Chips are always, always going to be the best. But, yeah, once again real Naruto proves that it's truly the superior manga.
