Kubo must be saving Aizen for some reason, I expect some trolling there.
Aizen upstaging JUBUBUCH as a final villain, while poorly written, would still make much, much, much more sense than the stunt that Kishi had the audacity to pull.

Well, honestly, who wouldn't want a giant naked man army all to themselves?
So even the women will turn into naked plant men? Is this the closest thing the Naruto universe has to a sex-change operation?
@.access:
But at the same time, the same readers keep Naruto at the top of the rankings and the volumes are selling more and more everytime. I honestly don't get it…
Stockholm Syndrome?
Nah, the real sex-change operation would involve eyeballs. Somehow.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Stockholm Syndrome?
Next time somebody asks us why we keep on reading these two turds despite hating the very ink they are written is, we will say it's because of Stockholm Syndrome.
So even the women will turn into naked plant men? Is this the closest thing the Naruto universe has to a sex-change operation?
Nah. Given Kishi's treatment of eye operations, we can be sure that all a male ninja has to do if he wants to change sexes is rip off his junk (with bare hands) and then slap in place the nearest available vagina.

True, but I still expect some sort of trolling there.
Hahah that's even better.
Surely that's got to be a shout for a thread title?
I'm trying to think on a ninja equivalent.
How about "Ninjerks"? I also like "Mumbo Ninjumbo".
So even the women will turn into naked plant men? Is this the closest thing the Naruto universe has to a sex-change operation?
Orochimaru has had plenty of sex change operations. If I remember correctly he was definitely a girl at one point.
Bleach like always… Absolutely nothing
Naruto even worse
Fuck it, that color spread is like oda-level. I am impressed :O. Glad to see that naruto isn't boring anymore. Actually, it has some tension again ^^.Only critique i can make is, that many panel or even entire pages are way to messy. Couldn't see shit..
Give yourself a pat on the back Final Fantasy 9, Naruto just pulled a Necron.
Whatever silly bullshit one can jokingly say is about to happen Nardo usually come true in some shape or form.
Scary, I know.
Wait, don't tell me we will really get some Space Cowboys as the (next) final enemy now.
Naruto: Oh for..pick a villain and stick with them already. Please! I'll give it some prompts for keeping the story moving but this is a ridiculous way to drag it out. One villain backstabbing the other. Kaguya doesn't even seem all that interesting. She's fighting because..they missed up the Earth? And yet you give power to the guy that caused all of this…that..what? Ugh whatever, let's just get on with this final battle. Next week a show of her abilities, then the week after that maybe a flashback, then the heroes counter. The usual.
Bleach: Fighting, fighting, fighting. Meh. Honestly did DBZ go this slow. Oh Bleach, such a great premise, but why do you have to be so slow to get to the good stuff?
More like:
not even weed could make you think this is a good idea
I'm betting on clinically insane or peyote
More blank backgrounds and slow pacing from Bleach. And Ichigo's getsuga variations are as creative as Naruto's rasengan variations lol.
And Naruto, I actually thought Madara becoming a Tetsuo blob was funny. I don't see the point in creating another white zetsu army, since the last batch was completely fodderized early on in the war. Kaguya being shoehorned in like this somewhat reminds me of Venom in Spider-Man 3.

the true mastermind
You just made my day. Thank you.
Cannabis? Yeah sure, Kishi is big on acids and strange mushrooms.
"This is Naruto country. We cant stop here!"
Glad to see that naruto isn't boring anymore.
What?
@Takto:
Actually, it has some tension again ^^
WHAT!?
But yeah, the color spread was amazing. Although I feel for Sai, the poor thing. The whole thing about he being part of the team was completely forgot as soon as Sasuke entered, I wonder how he feels about it.

Feels nothing, he's just enjoying a wonderful dream inside his cocoon. At this point I think the best ending would be everyone else getting caught in the whatever it is called Tsukoyomi and end like that.
@.access:
What?WHAT!?
Yes i am interested how this gets solved :). Last page wasn't bad at all and it wasn't bad written either. So yes, i found the last two chapters enjoyable.and i am glad, because many series i follow weekly, do suck right now and since odas two weeks break…there needs to be a series that keeps me on the manga train.
while I still continue to process the whole "Kaguya is the REAL final villain" shtick, I see Ichigo and Kubo are both taking their sweet time.

So what is her motivation? Why is she doing all this? An army? To fight whom?
Why should I even care about any of the above?
What connection do I have with this character introduced so late in the story?
What was size of the rock Kishi hit his head on right before he cooked up this dumbass twist?
Who the hell is Kaguya?!

Also remember when she cut her hair vowing not to be useless anymore.
Funny how that turned out.
Who the hell is Kaguya?!
An ancient rabbit lady that wants an army of naked Zetsus.
….of all the sentences in the world that you could never dream of typing up....
An ancient rabbit lady that wants an army of naked Zetsus.
….of all the sentences in the world that you could never dream of typing up....
This manga is turning into Mad Libs. And not in a fun way.
It actually makes perfect sense…
So what is her motivation?
Her motivation is - like every Naruto woman - to do womanly stuff like cooking. And make once again wonderful rice cakes like she once did together with her space rabbits on the moon.
Why is she doing all this?
To restore her rice cake business empire.
An army?
Yes.
To fight whom?
The Space Cowboys who expelled her from the moon - led by…
! Ramen Guy - who once upon a time destroyed her blooming rice cake business in order to set up his own ramen empire.
Why should I even care about any of the above?
Why not?
What connection do I have with this character introduced so late in the story?
The Kaguya rice cake plot was already introduced very early with the introduction of the ramen guy and his rivalizing business.
What was size of the rock Kishi hit his head on right before he cooked up this dumbass twist?
Who the hell is Kaguya?!
It was the moon which broke the fourth wall back when Ramen Guy and his Space Cowboys defeated Kaguya.

Kaguya is a well written and developed character whose existence was excellently foreshadowed from the very beginning on.
@Bartholemew:

Yeah, Kishimoto dropped major hints early on.
First of all, Naruto was possessed by a fox. Fox, like a CERTAIN FOXY LADY we all know. Plus, Kyubbi and Kaguya share three letters in common (three like the sannin) so it was pretty obvious who the final villain would be.
Hey, it's true, the hints were everywhere since the beginning.
I mean, think about it, what is Kaguya? A woman.
You know who else is a woman? Nardo's mom.
It's all starting to make sense.
Yeah, Kishimoto dropped major hints early on.
First of all, Naruto was possessed by a fox.
And foxes and rabbits are natural enemies, right? It's an old legend or Aesop tale, isn't it? Or am I as high as Kishi?
The final villain of Naruto is a woman.
This makes so much sense.
Even your avatar is a rabbit, Nobodyman.
Kishimoto's a genius at dropping hints all over the place.
For the last century, every single thing that happened helped us see this coming.
You guys should know, though, that somewhere in this world is right now showing irrefutable evidence that Kaguya was perfectly foreshadowed, right?
I mean, I remember someone saying that the Gold and Silver shitheads were perfectly foreshadowed, and I think a entirely black panel where we were supposed to see something during Kakashi's panel was enough evidence to consider that Kishi perfectly foreshadowed Obito being Tobi.
So, yeah, someone with guts could go on a mission to Narutoforums to see if there's a stupidly long and overly detailed post explaining how perfectly planed Kaguya was from day 0.

What if, while trying to figure out how to make Sakura powerful and relevant, Kishi stumbled across the old fan-theory about Ultimecia's origin?
I first thought of this as a joke but now I'm kinda wondering…
Someone out there also believes that he is a reincarnation of Julius Caesar and communicates with aliens and reptilian merfolk.

The whole Obito being Tobi thing was easily foreshadowed and made pretty obvious early on. Kaguya though? No. There was literally nothing said about her until the very end of this war.
Unless you go for:
'Well, her existence was made pretty clear everyone if you just look at the irrefutable evidence We all know The Sage of 6 Paths was born right? Well, who do you think gave birth to him!? HIS MOM, DUH! So, in a sense we knew she existed and technically she was foreshadowed as soon as The Sage was introduced. Tch, idiots…'
Wait a minute. Where is the poor dad in all of this?

Its the ramen guy. He has been immortal since getting it on with the bunny lady, and has since been planning an overly long plan on how to create his ramen empire.
Edit: Unless of course he has been possessed by the holy spirit of the original ramen guy.

It was so easy that pretty much everyone at some point stop defending it because it would be too ridiculous to be true.

Imagine if Toei adapted this series…
What are the odds that Kaguyas plan is fueled on the logic of "MY SONS DIED I GUESS SO FUCK THE WORLD"
At this point, I'm almost willing to bet money on Kaguyas defeat involving the ghosts of her dead sons telling her to stop being pissy.
Or at the very least some variant of Naruto and Sasuke charging her, and she can't get herself to kill them at a crucial moment because OMG THER JUST LIK MY BABIES SYMBOLISSSSM
I don't blame you guys for losing track of reality for making fun of Bleach so much, but I think Ichigo gotta have far more new moves than just that 1.
Anyway the regular getsuga looks completely different in how it's being executed.
Anyway I'm expecting more new techniques to come. Just 1 new name per chapter might be slow, but I'm used to pacing of Bleach.
THE GRAND RUNDOWN OF ICHIGOS REPETOIRE OF MOVES
-Getsuga Tenshou! A horribly generic flying slash that in any other shonen series would be a fragment of a swordfighters arsenal, but here is the underwhelming crux of Ichigos unique swords unique abilities. So unique in fact that his dad has it too, and Byakuya referred to it as, wouldn't you know it, a standard technique. Sometimes works as a slash, sometimes just an ill defined smear of energy
-Black inkspill Getsuga Tenshou! Same as above, but done while in Bankai, so makes it different!
-Keeping the energy from his Getsuga inside his sword, adding oomph to his generic swordslashes! Such a crucial technique that it was never named, and has been used all of once!
Subtracting all the lesser variants and lost moves of Ichigo, that totals at two moves. A flying energy slash…and two flying slashes at once. If we're lucky we might even get to see a Getsuga Tenshou barrage before the series ends! Had Kubo written One Piece, we'd only have gotten around to Gum Gum gatling in the new world
Fuck, has GT ever actually been effective? Most times people just emerge from Ichigos inkspill energy splooges a little charred. The diagonal torso slash, thats where the danger is at.

Calling it now, new technique for Ichigo will be GT gatling to counter Quincy arrow spam… only to set him up for an attack from behind
The New Technique that Ichigo learned is the "You can't have my booty" from The Boondocks. Now no one can sneak from behind.

Omg so true. This one will be another chapter in the Chronicles of Talking no Jutsu.
Kaguya will dissolve into nothingness.
Everyone will wake up from whatever via that resurrection Pain technique thing, they'll all be like "Naruto our Saviour!"
This will happen for the 6th or 7th time:

Didn't Kishi already do something like that but in reverse?
! For context, Granny used puppets of Sasori's parents (made by Sasori when he was a kid) to attack the now grown up and evil Sasori. Sasori could have counterattacked and won the battle but he instead chose to die surrounded by his parents in a kind of deadly and symbolic embrace. Because really, that's all he wanted~
