Well, I couldn't even believe that it was still possible, but I think this Naruto chapter even dropped the overall quality further downwards.
I mean, seriously…
1. So Neji's death is used for comical purposes now - right in the middle of the final battle.
2. "Rikudo's Ninja tools. Who cares?" Really...?
3. So no one watches out regarding Zetsubito who stood in front of them just recently.
Seriously, Kishi, if you don't the motivation and dedication any more, just say "The End" and stop it right here and now. This end result would be better than how it will end instead.
Why do we all?
…....
Well I mean we take it on a dose by dose basis. A lump sum is possibly fatal in this case

I decided to hold off on reading Nardo thinking that reading chapters en masse would alleviate at least some of the pain from pacing issues, but looks like this thinking has backfired.
And…oh boy...oh God...I have much bigger backlog with Bleach...no.

As previously stated before this is actually pretty damn cool

but right now I'm too dead inside to appreciate it.

Wait hahahahahaha what? What? Did she trip? Did she seriously friggin' trip rushing to Nardo?
By chance, does there exist any kind of organisation against character abuse? Maybe it could take Hinata away from Kishi.
Well if it's any consolation the people over at NF, at least some, don't seem to be taking this new shafting of Rukia that well either.

NF was always at least fairly aware of Bleach's crappiness. I mean, didn't one of the members make this?

Hey folks, I'm feeling like writing another article. What ought to be the topic? What would you most like to see me tear into?

Was Riruka that bad? I don't remember, but I think she was one of the best fullbringers characters, even if that isn't saying that much :P
You know what to do.
Seriously though, isn't Nardo's own Applied Logic variant somewhat neglected? It hasn't recieved any content after the initial article, has it?

I literally can't stand to read Naruto anymore. It's chloroform to me.

However if the posters here demand it I'll do reviews of the Naruto movies. Show of hands?

I can't fault you, Glib, I really can't.
Not after reading this shit in bulk. I have two chapters left to go and I have to fucking force myself.

Oh you mean the worst two.
A WILD FOOT APPEARS.
Damn is Kishi trying his darnedest to pad this out as much as he can.
So much shit that happens in this battle… so much shit that has no actual effect on the course of battle...so much shit that could be easily taken out without changing the story.
Like that part where Obito couldn't yet control his Jinchuuriki powers and fought them in that state...what was the point of that? What was the narrative purpose? Why couldn't he transform straight into the controlled form from the very goddamn beginning? Why repeat that goddamn "WHY DO YOU FIGHT LIFE IS TEH MISERY!NO MAH NINJA WAY AND FRIENZORZ" exchange so many goddamn times? et fucking c.
AND TO POUR SALT ON THE WOUND, THERE IS BUILD UP TO THE POINTLESS SHIT. YES, BUILD UP. SHINOBI ALLIANCE ATTACKING THE TREE AND BEING REPELLED IN A SINGLE PAGE BY OBITOH? THAT HAD BUILD UP. SEVERAL PAGES OF EVERYONE GETTING FIRED UP AND READY TO DO SOMETHING, 5 HOKAGE COMING IN TO JOIN THE FRAY, TWO OR SO CHAPTERS OF BULLSHIT MINDSHARE FLASHBACKS TO MOTIVATE THE ALLIANCE...AND AFTER ALL THAT...AFTER ALL THAT...THEY GET THWARTED IN A SINGLE PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.
Jesus Christ, why doesn't any of this shit cause a decline in popularity. How am in the minority that doesn't find this crap appealing?!

you're not a middle schooler
Oooooh, right Kishi, only a total amateur would reveal the identity of the mysterious foot in the very next chapter. First you have to build up to the foot, intensify the mystery, tease us, maybe throw as a bone by showing the other foot on panel.

You are right, I was trying too hard.
Whenever one of my students or some acquaintance at a party says they like Naruto I always have to pretend to not know much about it. Much like how in America I had to pretend not to hate Bleach whenever coworker brought it up

I told you, it's Ramen Guy. Shit is about to get real now.
There, made it.
I might've overdramatised embarassingly , but I honestly believe everything I've said.
I don't even feel like catching up to the other work discussed here.
How long has this damn war been going on?
Current Naruto chapter: 664 ("Because I'm a Father")
-War Beginning chapter: 515 ("The War Begins!")
….149 chapters! That's right, over 20% of Naruto has been this war. One-fifth.
I wonder, assuming Kishi would drop Naruto with this chapter and WSJ asked Oda to take over, do you think he could still rescue this mess?
I guess this is basically the question what happens if an unstoppable force hits an immobile object.

Not even Oda's a miracle worker.

I once complained on another forum that this final battle was the most dragged out in history, and the immedeate response was Goku vs Freeza.
I checked, even if you add the chapters with Freeza fighting everyone else leading up to his confrontation with Goku, it's only barely longer than the number of chapters since Sasuke arrived to join forces with the good guys.
It's not that the war arc has been long. It's that the arc has been going on so long and nothing of interest or significance has happened.

The train has wrecked already. There's nothing we can do but get a few laughs out of it.
Yes naruto is wrecked beyond repair at this point, but I'm sure oda, togashi or some other better writer could at least make the rest of it much more tolerable.^^
And lol at the stupid madara spitting out the thing that is ultimately gonna lead to his downfall. That is probably the only way that kishimoto found on how to defeat the at this point broken madara.

Except that the wrecked train hasn't finished exploding yet.

Judging from these gags in last chapter, that's Kishi's sentiment too.

I don't even bother to pretend. They hit my rant button, there's no abort option.

He meant that you're in the minority who doesn't like it because you're not a middle schooler, not that you were ranting like a middle schooler.

I went with heavy capslock, copious amounts of expletives and overdramatization. I was also getting a vague feeling of being too soapbox-y at the time.
So it wasn't too hard for me to misundertand Glib there. Felt legit embarassed too.
Kinda wondering why Daz hasn't said anything about the chapter yet.
Togashi could save Naruto.Kabuto comes back and fights Madara,and just before he is about to lose he says,"Don't understimate the power of ninjas".Then he Edo Tensei's Deidara and blows up.

But would we be in the final arc if Togashi was the one writing the story or on hiatus?:ninja:

The last chapter before hiatus would be Kushina telling Naruto there's a great new world out there,during the Pain invasion arc.

I was thinking more of going "to hell with this shit, drop the nuke."
Screw ninja voodoo.
Yeah. While Naruto and Madara were talking about their silly war, the samurai have prepared the ultimate nuclear weapon. It doesn't matter if by using it a good 80% of the ninja world will disappear. Peace requeires sacrifices.
Yeah….Are the Samurai still alive?

They should give all of their chakra to the Tsuchikage guy, you know, the little one, whatever his name was, have fly high up, and the use his Dust technique on a massive scale, completly obliterating that part of the continent. Cause, at this point, why the hell not. Every ninja will be dead, and honestly, every normal person will do the dance of joy.
And thus the Fourth Great Ninja War ends
That samurai leader guy was running around with the rest of the alliance when they were pretending to matter.

I had to do this to a waiter the other day. Took a lot of effort.
Meanwhile, Bee is dead and nobody cares

I care!
But Kishi obviously does not.
@No:

The Daz… has he been destroyed be the sheer perfectness of recent N&B chapters?
Or maybe he got turned into stone and we need to revive him, Elite Agents style!
Wouldn't care if Naruto died, let alone Bee.

Ha! I care way less about Naruto than Bee. That little blond idiot can choke on his own blood for all I care, but I kinda like Bee. He is at least mildly amusing. And competent.

boom, chika boom ba, boom, chika boom ba
Check it
Don't be buggin', though the method's unseen,
Bee'll be dandy while he's waitin' off screen!
Ain't never goin' down, don't waste yer time cryin'
He be out like a lamb, but comin' back like a lion!
chika cha!
Bee had escaped at the last min http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/660/17
