oh shit we're treading close to flashback threshold
Naruto Discussion III [Redux]
-
-
I fully expected there to be a flashback with this fight anyway.
-
It still portrays the Konoha ninjas as a bunch of incompetent gits when two people could slaughter an entire clan in one night without anybody being able to do anything against it.
Same with Sasuke deserting and being only noticed by Sakura so she could make her LOVE CONFESSION DERRRR
Some military organization they are.
On a side note a good summary and sensible criticism of part 2:
Let's review:
-Nothing could even SCRATCH Kyuubi when it attacked. It literally was a force of nature. So good ol' Yondie calls a goddamn er…...God, to seal it.
-Yondaime was known by far as the greatest Ninja EVAR. He was like those dudes you see at the Street Fighter 2 tournaments who make you feel unskilled and worthless. And the best he could do was contain the demon.
-Skip 12 years into the future to Naruto Pt. 1. Naruto continues to be that beaten underdog nobody respects, who still owns people like it was going out of style. Freeing Kakashi from Zabuza with help from Sasuke, his fight against Orochimaru in the forest, Kiba, Neji, GAARA, and well.......need I continue? Hell, he's like a perpetually happy Mike Tyson in his prime
-So we get to the Valley of the end and have a touching, brotherly moment, ruined by one line. "I'm more special than you"
Right... So that basically told us that curse seal level 2 was barely equal to a 1 tail Kyuubi. I'm cool with that. After all, Naruto needs competition and strife in order to flourish as a protagonist.
-Skip another 3 years into the future to Sasukehippuden, and the pile of inconsistent horseshit that smacks you in the face is like an angry pimp. Once you get past the fact that all Kishimoto had Naruto do during 2 and a half years was go "OMG!!!RaSeNgAnx2!!!Oodama rAsEnGaN!!!", add black to his wardrobe, and most likely pleasure himself to repeated readings of Icha Icha, there's not much to hold your interest.
-Kishimoto decides to pull a switch on us during the "Save Gaara" arc. Sakura is now a serious Kunoichi that will put Tsunade out of business (except for her bust), and suddenly had deep inflections into the life of her teammates. You know, the ones she knows nothing about. The team where she used to ignore one, and visually sodomize the other one. Yeah, that's the one.
-Meanwhile, Kishi decides that seeing Gaara die has apparently turned Naruto into some sort of Cocaine OD victim. Seeing as how all Naruto does during the action is foam at the mouth and demand Deidara to give him back Gaara. I think me AND Kakashi were both WTF? by this point. Yeah I know it was supposed to symbolize the pain of losing a fellow jinchuuriki, a brother in suffering. And that was done so well....
-Now we pull the big guns. Orochimaru confronts Naruto, they fight, and Oro manages to hold off 4 tailed Naruto. Cool. The man is a Sannin after all. Even though Jiraiya got beaned by 4 tails. But that is moot anyway, since Jiraiya didn't want to hurt Naruto. Orochimaru holds no such reservations.
-We are treated to the sighting of the star of shippuden, Sasuke. Sakura promptly loses any shred of respect I managed to acquire for her when she reboots her OS from Tsunade V2.0 to Fangirl Beta 0.87. All it took was one sighting. And then Kablaam!!
-Uchiha glides in decked out in new pectoral-displaying man-whorish gear, a brand new sword (the legendary Kusanagi, I think?), and more of the "My shit smells like roses and cinnamon" attitude. By this point, I am feeling embarrassed to be reading the manga, and more than once have to wonder if I haven't accidentally downloaded a shoddy Doujin.
-As Naruto feels torn between sadness at the Sasuke situation and perplexity at Kishi for making him sit with his thumbs in his ass for 2 1/2 years, Sasuke decides to let us know that Kishimoto is an online gamer and knows what the word "HAXxX" means. let's see; Moving at the speed of light, done. Getting in people's heads without Mangek-, er, I mean Marysugan; you got it. Suppressing and blocking the most foul and powerful chakra in the world while being told he is even MORE foul and Powerful; let's do it. In the meanwhile I'm looking at the screen like the next page would have something even more ridiculous, such as Chouji/Yondaime Yaoi or Anko without the hawt fishnet/bondage clothing.
-We move on to Elemental training, the first real sign of progress poor Naruto has so far. He develops a very dangerous elemental technique even Yondie couldn't do. Cool. Even if his Oodama Rasengan already killed people in one hit. Also, the technique turns his arm into bean paste with ONE use. Right. I suppose not every one is God modded like an Uchiha.
-Anyways, Kakashi takes out 2 of Kakazu's hearts alone, before Naruto shows up. He tries Rasenshuriken and fails the first time. But he proves why he is still pretty damn cool by getting up and still fighting. Basically the fight is a contained and controlled display of ONE new technique by Naruto so that Sasuke the HaXXed can outdo him in the next Volume by killing an S-Rank nin SINGLE handedly - even if it is in the most ridiculous way possible, and full of plot holes.
-At first I thought it was a ploy by Kishimoto to make Sasuke look powerful, and Naruto's eventual defeat of him to show Naruto's sacrifices and strength. But what's the point? Fosfor is probably right. The Sannin will be dead by the end. Naruto will sacrifice himself for a village that could care less, and Sasuke will be 6th Hokage "in the name of the Dobe". Oh yeah, he'll still think his shit should be packaged and sold to little kids for high prices since he's Uchiha.
End Review.
-
The best thing is when they have flashbacks inside of a flashback.
-
And we find out the flashback inside the flashback was actually a genjutsu.
I don't know what the fuck Kishimoto is trying to do with Itachi's talk about Madara being still alive but I'm afraid… I'm very afraid.

Hey guys, i'll bet Rild will start posting here again since he's banned from NF now.
To be on-topic, is Naruto still shit, or did it suddenly become better again??
-
@Timur:

It would take an act of God to make it halfway decent again.

Ask again in a year when fights involve stuff like, er… MOVING again.
Happy Zetsu: Both of them haven't been moving since the beginning.
Creepy Zetsu: That's because they are exchanging with genjutsuawesome
-
In most shonen, fights usually involve destruction on a large scale, over the top physical prowess, elemental attacks and energy beams and lots of blood being shed amidst feats of unhuman perseverance and toughness.
In Naruto, fights consist of two people staring at each other, looking pretty.
Such a discoverer that Kishimoto.

Don't forget sHAringAN H4X!!!111
-
Haha, I'll give you the other stuff, but you guys are exaggerating with the "staring contest" fights thing
And yeah, what Aldrich posted on the last page was pretty accurate. Shame on you Kishi
@Zephos: Yeah he is just like I always figured since I first joined NF. The statement in my sig pretty much confirms it.
-
God Feitan is retarded.^
-
Hahaha, wow. Who the hell is feitnan?
-
@Geg:
Hahaha, wow. Who the hell is feitnan?
The biggest One Piece fanboy known to all mankind. And wow, Rild got permbanned from NF. Score one for AP
But anyway, I'll accept the new spoiler, so long as Itachi didn't just sit by and let Madara wipe out the Uchihas. As long as Itachi got some bodies under his belt, it's cool.
-
Permabanned??
OBD should be paying us accolades. GO TEAM. -
Is that Feitan the same one that posts in the Hunter thread?
-

As long as Itachi knew what he was doing and wasn't tricked or framed into the massacre I'll be happy. Also nice that Zetsu's there to provide commentary like it's pro wrestling. In any case I hope they get all the exposition and flashbacks out of the way early so they can tear into each other uninterrupted and finally end this feud.
What sucks is the fact that now Sasuke's got another target to get his avenger boner on with because once he defeats Itachi he'll inevitably go after Madara as well.

On a side note a good summary and sensible criticism of part 2:
was that from NF?
because If I could i'd rep that personoh and somehow my ban from there is actually 1 week whole forums + 1 week OBD
from 0 strikes to 2 weeks in 1 convo thread of jokes taken too seriously -
Is that Feitan the same one that posts in the Hunter thread?
Off topic to what you're asking, but I just find it a little odd that a person would join a forum, centering around One Piece, only to post in a HxH thread. Seriously, he/she hasn't posted anywhere else.
And if this Feitan's supposed to be a bigger OP superfan than people like Quexinos, then why aren't they spamming it up with all the others in the anime section?
tl;dr Different person.
-
It's possible the feitan of this site just really liked the regulars of the HxH and decided to join. They're probably a few other people here like that. But yeah, the feitan of this site isn't a faggot, so they're different.
@Tal: I got a week ban from the entire site but that's about it. Not worried cuz I have a life.
Anyways, Naruto needs his balls back. How does he retrieve them?
-
I dunno anyone named after Feitan is bound to have some readings on the fagometer
-
@Cap'n:
I dunno anyone named after Feitan is bound to have some readings on the fagometer
Yeah.
and he was the one who said "The Ryodan should come and kill king they could take him if they all worked together" I think.
but that name is probably associated with faggotry worldwide
-
the funny part about that guy is that he doesn't seem like that bad a guy at 1st then comes a comment like the one in GDL's sig and you facepalm and lol
-
oh no you dont zero

Does blinking cause them to lose?

Zetsu is Mean Gene Okerlund.
-
so ze RAW Is out
and
this chapter contains 3 flashbacks
-the night Itachi went crazy
-Sasuke talking to the Kyuubi
-and them being friendly as brothersthen a shot of Madara and Zetsu watching all this happen
oh and this
!
-
That made me look it up at the forums that shall not be mentioned and what did it get me?
-
Zetsu is Mean Gene Okerlund.
At least in wrestling when they finish the stare down they start hitting each other. In this case the match IS the stare down.
My faith in Kishimoto would be completely restored, and I would sing his praises to the heavens if Zetsu popped out of the ground and hit Sasuke with a steel chair.
"Bah Gawd that sumovabitch came out of nowhere and smacked the Uchiha with a foreign object."
And I always assumed Zetsu was in on the whole Tobi=Madara thing if only because he introduced him to the group so I assumed he was in the upper-tier of knowing what the hell's going on in Akatsuki. It also helps assuage my fears of him being knocked off by Hinata and co. if only because if he is in the upper-tier he should be pretty powerful.
-
On one hand I wish Zetsu would be someone important.
On the other hand some kind of big twist making him Madara in disguise or the final villain or some shit like that would be pretty lame.
In both cases Kishimoto has it covered, Zetsu will suck.
Thank you Masashi!
-
I love how Itachi took extra time and energy to make a clone of his chair.
-
So fake spoilers from Sasuke's last encounter with Itachi turn out to be true.
Kind of retarded.
Itachi what a poor, used soul.
-
I love how Itachi took extra time and energy to make a clone of his chair.
Super cool genjutsu chair sold separately.
-

So is Itachi even there? Or are neither of them there and they're just watching this from afar flinging genjutsu at each other?
-
@Impel:

WE MAY NEVER KNOW

I want an epic flying chair battle in the near future.

Anyone watched this week's Shippuden episode?
Sakura doing a triple barrel roll after getting tail whipped by KN4 was priceless.
PIMPSMACK YOUR ASS BITCH
-
yeaaaaaaah
Too bad this week's ep was a Korean-animated one. That hit/spin could have been much more dynamic with the right animators
-
the week where kabuto pwnd her ass was funnier
-
Man looking at the page Taleran posted made me remember another reason to hate Sasuke.
His sword is lame. It looks like some kind of long switchblade knife that's supposed to look sober and classy but only comes off as lazy and generic.
