And she kicked puppies. There, already more ruthless than any of the sternritter.

@Purple:
Next arc: Naruto takes the chunin exam again
By the Road to the Ninja Movie, Movie written by Kishimoto himself, they just have to get recommendation letters to get to Jounin Level. Given that all people, even fodder from other countries, are fanboying Naruto, they all will give a huge recommendation letter.
-
Kubo probably was like :
"Hmm, which SR should I give the charm power to? By design alone, I think it's appropriate for Meninas to have it. She's got monstrous boobs and disn*y princess-hair, but that's amateur way of thinking! I'll give her brute strength and save the charm power for the least suitable character instead! Huh, did I really draw this beardy old man for the SR rosters? Whatever! I'll give it to him! -
Pepe is kinda attractive on his own right.

@Purple:

There was an OVA where he did that and he had to fight Konohamaru, He was disqualified for using Sage Mode because fuck you.
-
I forget the exact chapter when that happened, but it seems to be a little over 50 chapters from the war's beginning.
As the foremost whiner on this matter, I'll tell you it was chapter 563, which ends with Naruto headbutting Obito then simply known as "Tobi".
I remember seeing that thinking the end was in sight… lol.
-
Alas, poor offscreened Sternritters, especially NaNaNa Najahkoop and Col. Sanders. They were probably removed from play because their powers haven't been fully designed yet until this point. There were probably many people out there who wanted to see them in full power, but Nope! It's Kubo, man! He always tries his best to be unpredictable.
And to pour some salt on the wounds, Meninas and Lilotto claim that it's obvious that they are the ones left standing based on their abilities. Really, now?
-
My god how apathetic I felt at seeing the end of Kaguya.
-
@Devil:
Pepe is kinda attractive on his own right.
I imagine him having a Barry White-kind of voice.
-
Naruto: I have this lingering feeling that Naruto is far from over.
Bleach: Ugh, not this guy again…. -
Even with the Rabbit lady gone, I'm still baffled by her motivation. What in the world was her intention for creating a universe filled with naked white men? Unless the sexy no jutsu scene was a subtle explanation, I am still completely lost. Will this ever be explained?
And the sheer fact that Kishi introduced the notion of aliens and space, I have a lingering suspicion that he could EASILY point the story towards that direction for a part 3 (or simply just ignore it altogether because…you know...WHY bother introducing the plot point that the moon queen was building an white zetsu army or something if you aren't going to utilize it?)
Ugh and Kaguya...such a random out of nowhere entity and plot point. It would be as if Oda never wrote the Skypeia arc (and that moon cover story arc), and had Eneru show up RANDOMLY as the final villain to turn everyone into mini dwarf robots. That's pretty much what this is.

What was the point of going through all this trouble to make the White Zetsu army anyways? I mean, Obito had made 100000 white zetsus just for this war. Without having to revive the ten tails, become its host, grow a third eye, cast a reflection on the moon, and use a super wood growing jutsu to turn them into naked plant men. And they ultimately turned out to be just worthless next to the zombies.
I feel like Kaguya and Black Zetsu were just shoehorned in just to make an excuse as to why Kishi's beloved Uchihas aren't pure evil. They weren't to blame for all this mess! It was actually because they were manipulated by a talking sleeve that they became misguided and tried to put everyone in the matrix! But they're not evil >:(!

Then Kishi screwed up by…I dunno...making the Uchihas the villains for a majority of the freaking story. Heck, he already explained that the Uchihas weren't always in control due to LOVE CANCER (ugh...even this idea should have been dumped if Kishi KNEW in advance he had ANOTHER reason why the Uchichas aren't in control of their terrible nature through the stupid Black Zetsu thing). If Kishi knew this, it would have been really nice to have major villains that weren't related at all with eyeball powers or the Uchihas, but nope. AND THEN all of a sudden he shoves one in (albiet still with eyeball powers) at the end but unfortunately fails to develop her or give her a character (legitimate motivation, personality, etc...) whatsoever.
Heck, what do we even know about Kaguya? She's a woman, a moon "queen" (where's the king? Who knows), has three kids that she's "meh" about, wants a bunch of naked white plant men around, and can teleport.
That's it. Huzzah for character!

There is a design for Adult Neji in the upcoming Naruto Movie, which means…as some of you guys expected, he is getting revived!!!
Do you have the link to that?
The scan released today doesn't have that.

NVM my bad, seems that someone photoshopped that pic. But Im still scratching my head why Neji had to die, why couldnt be Tenten or Kiba?
-
I think he'll come back unfortunately, but I doubt that would be revealed in scans for a movie.
On the other hand, eagerly awaiting Jiraiya's reveal of being alive.
-
Chouji got his hair short again? I thought the long hair was part of the Akimichi fighting style (making it like spikes for Nikudan Hari Sensha), wouldn't make much sense…
EDIT: Man, the girls are gorgeous. Ten Ten, Temari and, almost unbeliveable, Sakura!
RE-EDIT: Oh, I get it, Chouji is emulating Asuma's looks. Good touch, I guess, although it makes him feel kinda lacking his own identity. -
Are, are we finally set free?
-
So all that Ten Ten side story about she getting those specials weapons didn`t pay off? Or next chapter she attacks Madara with those?
-
Rumor through the grapevine is that "one of the big Jump series is going to end soon, and abruptly - not one of the series that you would expect".
Let's hope that it's true and that one of these series might finally be put out of it's misery. I place my bet on Naruto.

Ahhh.
Lol. At the movie tryiing to make it seem like Sai is worth aging for the movie.

@God:
There was an OVA where he did that and he had to fight Konohamaru, He was disqualified for using Sage Mode because fuck you.
Then everyone laughed, his friends called him an idiot; same old naruto stuff. It was actually pretty jarring seeing naruto being the stronger opponent to the point of swatting away Konohomaru like a fly. Naruto's never been in that position before since he's always the underdog, it was weeeird.

Was that a reference to ninjabridged?
Anyway, this week's Bleach was comparatively low in quality. Come on, Kubo! Can't you keep up the standard?! :ninja:
-
It is over! It's finally over! Praise the lawd Jesus hallelujah!
-
Just as I suspected, Kishi is trying hard enough to prolong his manga to 700 chapters, just so he can be proud of it. And now that he understood, that he is on 690 now, he decided to quickly finish the fight, with the an asspulled villain being defeated by what, a punch to the face? What the fuck?

I've been skimming through the past chapters, and I've come to the conclusion that Kishi did not plan this Kaguya and Black Zetsu retcon until very recently. The evidence is pretty damning. Love cancer was first mentioned in chapter 619. Kishi apparently felt that love cancer wasn't a good enough explanation for Uchiha bullshit, and decided that he needed a better excuse. Kaguya was first mentioned in chapter 646. Considering how she had no foreshadowing or mentions whatsoever especially compared to Obito and Madara who had all of part 2, it's pretty obvious that somewhere between those 27 chapters Kishi came up with this abomination of a villain. The fact that she's bland, uninteresting, and has a backstory that retcons the entire manga only confirms my belief that she was hastily made up on the spot.
Funnily enough, chapter 646 is also when Madara tells how he became evil after reading the stone tablet. The same one that Black Zetsu oh so coincidentally wrote to make sure the Uchihas turned out evil. I'm smelling even more Uchiha bullshit. I'm sure in the next few chapters, everyone will point fingers at Madara rightfully for starting up all this shit and then Naruto will say, "It wasn't his fault! It was the talking sleeve's fault!" And then Madara will be all, "Gasp! I've been had! What a fool I've been for starting a war because of a talking sleeve :'( ! I have to make this up!" And then Madara will pull a Pain and everyone that died will comeback to life. And it will be topped off with, "Madara was just as cool as Obito was!"
So the fact that Kaguya is your generic doomsday villain is irrelevant. She's only in the manga for one purpose. And that's to give the Uchihas a get out of jail free card while waving a giant "FUCK YOU" sign in our faces. That's what this manga is. Just one giant Uchiha orgy of stupidity and love cancer. Because Kishi clearly thinks that we like the Uchihas as much as he does. Blargh.
-
I have no idea what happened on most of the pages but boy am I glad that it's finally (seemingly) over.
About the movie designs; it just shows that Kishi should stick to drawing designs and sketches and letting someone else, you know, a skilled manga-ka, do the rest. Works for the games. Works for the movies. But where it would count the most it of course isn't an option lol
-
Jesus christ that was terrible. I honestly lost track of what the hell was going on. Been following out of force-of-habit. Please release me Kishi you sadist. Please end it.
-
Hii I am sorry for being a jerk and asshole and lazy, can anyone please summarize; what is going on in Naruto and Bleach for the last one year or so. I am so out of touch these days. I don't want to torture myself; going through the junk. Thanks in advance.
-
Sounds more like a sane person instead. What happened during the last year? To be honest I can't really remember that well, probably almost nothing happened. But let me try…
Obito was the final boss who did start the war because he just couldn't get over the death of his childhood crush due to Uchiha love cancer. Then we learned that Madara was the actual mastermind and true final boss who was responsible for everything that happened and just manipulated Obito. After reading that mystical stone tablet he came to the conclusion that the only way to obtain peace is to put all the people into the matrix (acttually the best motivation out of the final bosses). In order to do so he planned to get revived and become the Juubi's Jinchuuriki. After Obito betrayed him and became the Jinchuuriki instead, however, Obito was beaten in a round of tug o war and Madara could finally become Jinchuuriki himself. However, then mastermind Madara actually got betrayed as well by Black Zetsu who was the true mastermind behind everything. He manipulated the all-knowing stone tablet so that Madara would do his bidding which was reviving the really true final boss - Kaguya Oo... However, Kaguya was just introduced 30 chapters ago or so and had neither sufficient background history nor personality. She did some reality warping hax, however, with the help of Obito who sacrificed himself and died acknowledged as the coolest guy by Naruto as well as the legendary sage who lived on as a force ghost and gave Naruto and Sasuke some pseudo-symbolic Yin-Yang-hax power ups they were finally able to seal Kaguya and... and... hopefully that's just it, but probably not...
tl; dr
Better don't read that at all. Just remain a sane person insterad. -
The first chapter of this arc is 480 and the latest chapter is 594. 114 chapters already.
So a solid 19.2%. Don't worry Bleach, you'll get there.
This is depressing.
@Galaxy:
My goodness. That's… depressing.
By comparison, Dressrosa is 57 chapters so far (starting at chapter 701, "Adventure in the Country of Love, Passion, and Toys", and we're at 758 now). Which is 7.5% of One Piece's run.
Naturally I expect its final arc to be long as well, but we need to consider proportionality here. 25% of One Piece right now would be almost 200 chapters! And we're definitely going to exceed 800 chapters, 900 too.

Better don't read that at all. Just remain a sane person insterad.So it was black Zetsu the real manipulator; pulling the strings from behind for the real boss. And the final boss is just a random guy. And Sasuke helped Naruto in sealing the him. Wait on, I thought Sasuke was the bad guy, final fight between Naruto and him??
And someone please summarize Bleach, last time I was reading, I remember reading some random Nazi people invading soul society. Has Ichigo saved SS from Nazi attack? Any conclusions?
-
What did you say? My summary lacks Uchiha/Sharingan hax bullshit? Okay…
Sasuke and Zombie Itachi who used eye hax to break free out of his Zombie control confronted Kabuto who was responsible for all that zombies and Itachi defeated him with another special hax technique created specifically to counter Uchiha reality warping hax which makes perfectly sense because this reality warping stuff wasn't special, but instead used by everyone and their children. Kabuto's defeat released all the zombies back to the death realm except for Madara who was a zombie by that time as well and who could perform the same stuff like Itachi to break out of Zombie control as well as some additional stuff in order to stay on the living realm. However, the defeat of Kabuto allowed Orochimaru to come back via Horcrux magic and because we didn't have enough zombie stuff Orochimaru brought back the four dead Hokages who told Sasuke some historical stuff then. After hearing this, Sasuke decided to be a good guy again and joined Naruto and the others to the battlefield exclaiming that he wants to be Hokage as well (like everyone and their grandchildren). So yes... We might get Naruto vs. Sasuke and then we're hopefully done once and for all eternity... Hopefully...
-

They withdrew then attacked again. After some long dragged out one on one fights with some Nazis, Ichigo decides to show his arrogant mug but only for him to be shocked that Uryu is now a Nazi. The Nazi top brass somehow make it to the Soul King's place while Mayuri plays with ice shota and other zombieified captains (courtesy of semen girl). Any questions?

Even if we have to slog through the sasuke vs naruto fight, it can't possibly be as long as any fight in the war.

Shhhhhh. Don't tempt the gods. You basically just said the "What's the worst that could happen" or "I'll be right back".
-
That's it?
Rabbit Lady gets sealed into a new moon but it all happens in another dimension so that there are no repercussions for the real world. And if it was Naruto and Sasuke punching her that got her sealed why did Sakura punch her? To feel better about herself?
-
And why did Sakura instantly vanish when the 6 paths thingy appeared in midair?
It's like Kishi was always planning on just having Sasuke and Naruto take her down together, then threw in a couple panels of Sakura punching from above as an afterthought.
-

I think Sakura punched her to knock her back down. Otherwise, she would've evaded Naruto and Sasuke….or something.
-
Bleach can be entertaining when Kubo doesn't spend all his energy trying to be as cool as he can.
The love quinzi has potential for ridiculousness.
I think Sakura punched her to knock her back down. Otherwise, she would've evaded Naruto and Sasuke….or something.
Oh. I suppose that's an achievement for Sakura.
Too bad for Rabbit Lady she underestimated the importance of ducking.
-
And how long since the final battle began with Naruto officially confronting Tobi?
This whole war is the "final battle" but seeing as how a war consists of many different battles it doesn't make sense to say Naruto vs. Tobi was the start of the final battle. That was the start of a battle but not the finale.
[hide][/hide]Tobi wasn't the last battle. After Tobi's defeat there was a second opponent, Madara.
[hide][/hide]Madara wasn't the last battle. Unbeknownst to us and even him there was another opponent to endure. Naruto & Sasuke vs. Kaguya was the final battle. The start of the final battle? That started the moment Zetsu betrayed Madara and Kaguya took over Madara's body.Chapter 678
If the opponents weren't 3 completely separate people with varying motivations, but rather one evolving "final boss" that just keeps transforming I could get behind the final battle starting on chapter 563. The war and overall "final battle" started on chapter 515. Now that was long.

I've seen a lot of people speculating that the hermit/sage-o-6-paths will randomly decide to betray everyone now and further prolong the final battle. What could be worse than a bland ass-pull goddess-villain randomly becoming the final boss? Another "twist" where secretly there is another another another final boss who we've never met before. Believe it!
