Says a lot about the author. Right, Kishimoto?

Naruto and Bleach: Let's put this thread to bed I
-
-
The last jumpa festa interview was quite a classic as well. Sasuke being his favorite character is so blatantly obvious that I can't believe some fans did not figure that one out.
Q: where would you change if you could go back
A: I d draw kakashi without his mask as now fans expectations got too high that whatever i draw some of them would get disappointed laugh
Q: when did you decide to make naruto and sasuke go different ninja way?
A: from the beginning.
Q: whats gonna happen to sasuke through next year?
A: Sasuke has a lot of episodes to tell. his appearance will be more frequent next year.
Q: which char do you want to play as on generations?
A: Sasuke.
This is simply what I can remember of Kishimoto-sensei's interview:
「カカシにマスクを付けたことに後悔しています。口元が見えず絵で表情が現し難いので。」
"I regret putting a mask on Kakashi's face. When I draw, it's difficult to communicate his facial expression without being able to show his mouth."
竹内さんの「カカシの口を是非公開して下さーい」というお願い対しては、「それは約束はしませ ん」というよ うなことをおっしゃっていました。
But to Takeuchi-san's request of "Please, show us Kakashi's mouth without fail!", he said something like "I won't promise anything".
「来年は、カカシの過去を描きたいと思っています。でも2年前からそう言い続けながらずっと書 いていないん ですよねｗ」
"Next year, I want to write about Kakashi's past. But given that I've been saying that for two years running, I will probably continue not writing about it, eh?"
「最初から、友達だったナルトとサスケを対決させる話にしようと思っていた。」
"Since the beginning, I wanted to write a story that would force Naruto and Sasuke, who were friends, to have a confrontation."
「サスケとサクラの別れのシーンでは、女心がわからず、同僚と相談して描いた」
"I don't understand women's hearts, so I consulted with a coworker before writing the scene of Sasuke and Sakura's parting."
「来年はサスケのことも描きたいと思っています」
"Next year, I want to write about Sasuke too."
「完結へ向けて全力で描いていこうと思います」
"Since we're headed towards the conclusion, I will be writing with all of my power."

"Next year, I want to write about Kakashi's past. But given that I've been saying that for two years running, I will probably continue not writing about it, eh?"
Well, he's honest about it.
「最初から、友達だったナルトとサスケを対決させる話にしようと思っていた。」
"Since the beginning, I wanted to write a story that would force Naruto and Sasuke, who were friends, to have a confrontation."
"I've also wanted to write a full on yaoi sex scene, but that's completely unrelated. Honest."
「サスケとサクラの別れのシーンでは、女心がわからず、同僚と相談して描いた」
"I don't understand women's hearts
"I know this is my fifth time saying this, but…"
so I consulted with a coworker
"My good friend Tite Kubo…"
before writing the scene of Sasuke and Sakura's parting."
"Oddly, he just said 'THE HEART' and then backflipped out of a window."
「来年はサスケのことも描きたいと思っています」
"Next year, I want to write about Sasuke too."
"I want to write about Sasuke ALL THE TIME. Even when I sleep. He's the one that makes me the most money, you see."
「完結へ向けて全力で描いていこうと思います」
"Since we're headed towards the conclusion, I will be writing with all of my power."
"Hahahahaha…please...please kill me..."

That's because Naruto was orignally about ninjas. Now it's about wizards waging war on eachother in the middle of a forest, with a protagonis that gave up his dream to become Hoe-kah-gay to instead defeat the Elite 4, catch a rare Sasuke, and become a Pokemon master of the Hoe-ehn Region after breeding a farm of Ninetails and Vuplix.
Ninjas? http://www.mangareader.net/93-141-1/naruto/chapter-136.html Ninjas with giant. Animals

Naruto has been using Kyubi power since chapter 1.–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Sonic:
Females have always looked like males in Naruto, no difference between the parts (except the attempted boobs for part 2).
Kurenai looks like a boy? http://www.mangareader.net/93-39-16/naruto/chapter-34.html

If you want to try defending naruto you're gonna have your work cutout for you cuz there's too many weakness to attack. Not to mention you seem to be the only one willing to try such a thing lol.
-
No no no.
Just let him do what he wants. It's a forum. ( no offense or bashing intended but I really want to see his reaction if sasuke lolpwns all the tail beasts with his eye obsession)Naruto was about slightly about ninja up to the neji fight because around 20% of the characters would use stealth and deception. After that everyone switched classes into street fighter. Woops I just defended naruto.

Whaa
Whuah
What's goin on?

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-02-01/tite-kubo-bleach-manga-to-enter-final-arc
I'd never thought I would see the day…
-
I can't believe it!
Well, I guess all those low sales finally did in Kubo. Didn't he say he wanted Bleach to continue for 10 more years?
-
Bleach and (possibly) Naruto ending the same year (I think Naruto still has one more year)?
New Big Three: One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Toriko
That would be heaven.
-
Naruto'll probably be ending soon. Bleach's final arc could still be 4 years long.
-
well it could be a 5+ year arc, the hueco mundo crapfest took years.
-
Stop guys. I was trying to be optimistic. It's obvious, given Kubo's previous comments, that this arc will last nine years.
-
I can't believe it!
Well, I guess all those low sales finally did in Kubo**. Didn't he say he wanted Bleach to continue for 10 more years**?
I'm sure if Kubo had his way he would continue to give us blank pages and ink splatters for another 10 years -.-
I think the editors at Shueisha realized that no-one (except Kubo) wants another 10 years of Bleach, so they finally brought down the axe and told him to wrap things up
However I wouldn't be overly surprised to see the "final arc" last 10 years…as Kubo's final act of trolling against his fans
-
Is this even reliable? If it is, then I'm just thoroughly confused. Why would Naruto gain the Rikudou's eyes, which are the Rinnegan? So that Sasuke and Naruto have the same eyes? And what's the point in destroying Naruto's character, just so he'll the Sage of old. Not just a reincarnation?
Anyways, it could be fake to arouse fans with excitement. My point is, Kishi should just wrap it all up. Make Naruto into a Jyuubi jinchuuriki vs Sasuke with a hybrid of sharingan/rinnegan eyes, and end this train wreck.
Edit: But I can now see the Sage coming out of nowhere like the 4th, and Kushina in Naruto's subconscious, saying, "Hey, I'm here. Isn't this cool?"
teh hole point of naruto gaining rinnegun iz cos eventually he n sasgay will becum one person. i think thats wut they was doin in each others minds and thats y they cant beet eech other n stuff they will fuse togethre usein fushun dance FUSHUUUUN HA and then kishi will be satisfyd with the endin coz he copied toriyama
That's actually the only logical explanation I could think of.
-
Back from a skiing trip, arrives to a blizzard and an obscene workload. Yay!
Thoughts on Naruto:Remember back when Tobidara declared war on the world, and we were all "What, just him, his pet plant, Glossy Black and the tailed beasts? Well, I guess seeing a massive team effort to take down the beasts could be cool".
Good times.And for chrissakes, how many fucking hyperbolic time chamber mental realms does Naruto have? This is getting ridiculous, and it's just so lazy writing. "I need Naruto to have a conversation with the tailed beasts and their jinchurikii. Only the jinchurikii are all dead, and the beasts are under Tobidaras control and involved in a hectic action scene against Naruto! Good thing there just so happens to be a seperate mind dimension thingy Naruto somehow enters, where the jinchurikii are somehow alive, and all the beasts are at once and where time stands still so Naruto isn't mauled while he's zoning out in the middle of the battlefield!"
And he pulls this ALL THE TIME. Remember last time Naruto met Sasuke, and they had an entire mind-conversation in the time it took to puch each other once?As for Bleach…
So there I was being Kubo Tite
And my editor walks in and says: "why do you have a metric fuckton of unresolved plot points? Other mangas manage to wrap up loose ends within their respecitve arcs!"
AND I'M LIKE FUCK YOU I'M KUBO TITE
AND THEN I ANNOUNCED THE "HODGEPODGE OF ALL MY FORGOTTEN PLOT POINTS ARC"
AND MADE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY
I LOVE MY LIFE -
@Cyan:
Well, he's honest about it.
"I've also wanted to write a full on yaoi sex scene, but that's completely unrelated. Honest."
"I know this is my fifth time saying this, but…"
"My good friend Tite Kubo..."
"Oddly, he just said 'THE HEART' and then backflipped out of a window."
"I want to write about Sasuke ALL THE TIME. Even when I sleep. He's the one that makes me the most money, you see."
"Hahahahaha...please...please kill me..."
To be fair, the parting scene between Sasuke and Sakura was pretty well done, actually. In the anime, at least.

The one one the right obviously.

I came up with that theory 2 years ago but scrapped it because naruto's whole purpose is to prove that eye powers mean nothing. And now I just don't give a fk anymore.
Anybody remember volume one when the kyuubi's tails were said to create storms and tornados just by twitching? I have been looking for that s*** since day one but kishi trolled the shit out of me rofl.
Edit: My bad, it's tails are supposed to crumble mountains and cause tsunami's O.o
And Daz, stop it man you're gonna make me crap my pants in class that s*** is too funny lolol.
-
It looks like Japan is going to have its own Naruto theme park attraction.
The good news: This means there will be shorter lines at Universal Studios Japan. Oh boy!
-
It surely is gonna attract a lot of tourists from Europe and America.
That Lee cover is glorious. He is such a likable character that its so easy to write a good story.
Hinata taking self confidence classes with Lee and Gai would be awesome. Naruto totally forgot about Hinata for no reason. I guess he's taken by someone else who is obviously a "he".
Her smile at the end was so :wub::wub::wub:.
-
So Jump Alpha came out today.
Kishi's favorite characters are now Choji and Killer Bee.
Sasuke is always in the corner of his mind.
Deidara is his favorite character in Kabuto's zombie army.
He created Naruto to tell the younger generation that although there's hardship in life, you can get along.
Hurr.
-
Did that Spanish dub just refer to him as "Gay sensei"?
And the lamb lies down on Broadway

Well, that's so new and innovative, Kishi.
-
Alright so I've downloaded most of the anime. I've decided to start it.
Wish me luck!
-
-
-
I can't wait for Bleach to start back up. All this Naruto will not be good for my mind when I go to sleep. Last thing I want to think about while I sleep is about Sasuke and a certain animal part which-shall-not-be-named.
Also, just my opinion: Bleach anime is infinitely better than the Bleach manga, and I'd watch it over Naruto any day. Exception may be the REAL Naruto anime: can't say until I actually can see it (though if its like the Rock Lee/Real Naruto manga it will be a blessing).
-
So, wait, Bleach, Bleach is ending right? We have confirmation now? Final arc? For Realz' Guys?
It would be like Christmas if this were true.
Please Kubo, say it's sooooooooooooooooooooo~!

Yeah, next one is the final arc. Which is planned to be 5 years long.
-
Wait, you can't be serious! There's still a ton of white space not published! Meh storylines! There so much massive littleness not done! MADNESS!
-
A typical example Kishi explaing Sasuke's technique in part 2: The Sharingan is so awesome it can see the future, trapped in my genjustsu, its so awesome and awesome, I calculated the angle of the swords and mines and the temperature of the sky and so freaking on.
A typical example Kishi's explaining Naruto's techniques in part 2: Rasengan Barrage, rasengan tornado, rasengan, rasengan, rasengan stuff, rasengan shit, I am expecting Rasengan sharingan.

Naruto and Bleach this week chapter spoiler:
double-spread of Sasuke!!
and Hinata's poem?!Okay, so apparently Hinata's speech goes like this:
"Hinata: (Naruto chasing you anymore … I've been tracking much ... much ... much to you ...... from the end of the war to stop this demo will) ...
(The following is the same ... I want to walk in stride while holding your hand firmly installed in the next Naruto! Do not Wait!)"You can always count on her for the romance speeches A+

まったくわからない。

まあ。最初はこんなもんなのかな。
! SSで緊急事態。騒ぎ出す技術開発局。落ち着いてるマユリ。
! 新しい死神２人。とアフさん。一緒に現世へ。
ホローが出てきて、こんにちわ。
で、新しい死神しにそうな所にイチゴ登場。

! eventhough it's a new arc, but still don't quite understand
looks like the story did not progress
well, every arc starts out like this.
! Soul Society is in an emergency situation.
The research and development institute is in chaos, mayuri seems calm
! 2 new shinigami with afro shinigami (kurumadani??) heads to the real world
hollows shows up
"good morning!" looks like a new shinigami looking Ichigo shows up and greets them

So I'm assuming Sasuke's appearance is solely fanservice and contributes nothing to current events? Just like the last time we saw him.

Only Bleach can have a comment like that attached to the VERY FIRST chapter of an arc. Kubo, I have every confidence in you
Do you think he might end up forgeting to follow up on every single promised plot hole he brought up last Jump ? Or that we may get a fifth origin story for Chad's powers ?

Anyways, anyone know the latest sales figures for the latest Bleach volumes ?
