Naruto's last chapter bore me to death. Why isn't the war over yet ? It feels like we've seen that battle (super mega big battle with everyone against Madara/Obito) four times already.
I share your pain Daz. I truly share it.
Kubo must seriously hate the Vaizards. All he ever does is make them look like morons and have them get owned.
Well besides Hachi anyway, who was actually badass against Barragan.
So, been wanting to say this for a while: WHY THE FUCK IS MADARA THE FINAL VILLAIN? Like, he represents nothing, has zero connection to Naruto, and is basically just evil old dude. As awful as Obito was, at least Kishi had an angle he was going for between him and Naruto. There was a type of thematic connection, however thin and forced. Madara is just kind of there fighting for… some reason. Hell, even Bleach was smart enough to give Ichigo a stake in beating Bach and connections to him beyond just "save the world". I mean, Madara literally has no point from a thematic or storytelling stand point. He feels like the leftovers of a plot twist that Kishi decided to make the final villain because... reasons.
Don't think these have been posted, but Dec 4. marked the release of new volumes.
Naruto volume 67

What's up with Naruto's face?
@No:
And surprise surprise the cover is a closeup of one character with absolutely nothing else.
But it's upside down! Kubo is showing how deep and kewl he is!
Wait what THE VAIZARDS ARE BACK WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME.
So, been wanting to say this for a while: WHY THE FUCK IS MADARA THE FINAL VILLAIN?
As much as I would like to believe that he's the end of the line, he probably isn't the final villain.
Where are the other immortal superninja? I know like Minato's probably preoccupied with Black Zetsu and somehow Madara nailed Hashirama, but shouldn't the second and third be around for their ridiculous techs?
Wait what THE VAIZARDS ARE BACK WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME.
Because they're completely useless. Shinji was moved aside for Fox-Shinigami, the white haired vizard got thrown around by Mask, the rest are forgettable.

I'm assuming Sasuke won't function as a villain

That's why he'll be the final villain.
So if Rose's bankai is illusions triggered through music why the fuck didn't he use it against Aizen?
These guys are Vizards, right?
Why aren't they powering up with their hollow masks?
I burst out laughing at the star-shaped hole in Rose's torso. I'm so glad that Mask is just bulldozing through people. His inevitable defeat is going to be an example of why we can't have nice things, but hopefully before then he'll dropkick Renji across the Seireitei again.
The star-shaped hole was brilliant, and completely made this chapter worthwhile.
My dream is that, while of course it will have to look like Renji is winning at first, things will then cut to Chad, lying defeated on the ground in Soul Society, with him making some comment about how badly the Luchador guy defeated him, and how he hopes Soul Society can figure out that he has an additional ace up his sleeve beyond being cheered for; then proceeding, of course, to cut back to Renji lying in a pool of his own blood as Mask is triumphant above him.
Basically what I'm saying is that Mask should be the new main character of Bleach. Could we maybe get a Springtime of Youth-esque spin-off for him?
Oh, also, Rose had secretly already activated his Bankai from the very beginning, and his brutal murder of James was simply an illusion as well. James is still alive and well, cheering for Mask just off panel, and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
As far as the Vizards go, the only thing I could hope for now is for Mashiro to beat the crap out of someone. Complete with Ginyu Force-esque poses and shouts.@Gliblord:

Because of plotkai.
Question Time: Why the vizards are not using their hollow masked mode? I thought it gave them a power boost..?
Question Time: Why the vizards are not using their hollow masked mode? I thought it gave them a power boost..?
Because sense making is for uncool people who don't have stoic glower as their only emotion
It's amazing how many fights in Bleach could have ended a lot sooner if the person fighting hadn't explained in detail exactly how their ability works.

Quincies can absorb Hollows.
Didn't Kishimoto say something about Naruto having a lot more length in it then expected? If this isn't the final arc then god forbid whatever does finish Naruto off, there's no leftover conflict after this so… inevitable final arc ass-pull?
@Fire Fist:

I thought Hollows were poison to Quincies.
sasukes gonna do something stoopid and be madara 2.0
also i dont even fully read bleach i just skim it so i have no idea who's who. i just wanna see grimmjow rip some quincy asses apart
@Fire Fist:
Quincies can absorb Hollows.
I thought they could absorb anything spiritual. But wait, don't Quincies lack the Hollow antibody? But then how did that one guy absorb the Arrancar monster thing and oh Christ why am I even trying to make sense of this?
maybe its like vaccine…?
maybe its like vaccine…?
How exactly do you vaccinate against Hollows?
Or rather, especially seeing as they haven't made any progress towards immunity for over a thousand years, how come not one person has developed an immunity? Oh I guess besides Ichigo because he's the ultimate mutt.
In fact, do shinigami have hollow antibodies? Why is it so detrimental that Quincies don't have hollow antibodies if all that's happening is their being attacked anyway? It's not like humans have bear antibodies. I mean if you can't absorb Hollow reishi then it doesn't really matter because they absorb reishi from their surroundings right?
Fuck it.
@Fire Fist:
Quincies can absorb Hollows.
This is directly contradictory to what happened just a few chapters ago when the captains recovered their bankai.
Kubo probably completely forgot about the whole vizard thing since Ichigo can't use it anymore. He has ADD with his own story.

It'd be great if the extra length is from him expanding upon his story. Not so great when he spends panels showing Madara bouncing around like he's a ball in pong.

i am really trying here man… damn it..
on the serious note, i wonder why Kubo came up with quincy hate and killed hollow because they feared them hollow because they didn't have an antibody against them. i mean a simple logical reason like hollow is evil who attack human and shinigami is freaking unreliable to protect human or doing their job is far more than enough as a reason.
So if Rose's bankai is illusions triggered through music why the fuck didn't he use it against Aizen?
Being sensible is not part of Rose's character appeal.
I like how Roses Bankai manages to be completely broken (I can make literally any effect happen through music! Now, I'll play the "my opponent dies" song!"), yet at the same tme is completely useless if the opponent puts it on mute.

@Fire Fist:

Only when in Super-Angel mode, which Mask isn't (despite the spread showing that pretty much all Sternritters activated it…ahhh, whatever)
Also, Quinzies can absorb shinigami too.

Because at the time, nor any time before that, it did not exist anywhere within objective reality, even on a theoretical level.
Just like the millions of other things Kubo ignores because he's lazy.
Kubo just makes it up as he goes along. Ichigo's powers went from being Rukai's to his own hidden shinigami powers, but they were secretly quincy powers pretending to be shinigami powers, to who cares anymore
Don't forget the Fullbring shit.

You bite your tongue! A manga about pong would be absolutely amazing.

Well they have an anime called Ping Pong Club. It's psychotic from the opening alone.

What else could be there ?
Like, Sasuke rediscovers his DARKNEZZ all while recieving a conveniently timed power up or something ? The Sage of the Six Paths comes farting down from the heavens to declare his war on the ninja world ? Giant Armadillo Penis rises from the ground to menace our heroes ?
What can he do to make this arc even more of a drag ?!
I don't know, but Kishi'll find a way.
This thread is really great right now…!
All I have to say is that I also love Mask. +1 Votes for new main character for Bleach.

All of the above, mixed together.
A giant armadillo penis pierces down from the heavens, with the voice of the sage booming out, blessing Sasuke with a rainbow of THE DARKNESS.
I propose we dedicate the thread title to James.
Since, by now, Naruto is all about eyes, it's obvious that, after the war arc, we'll have a new arc, where the super big last villain will be an Uchiha beholder with sharingan, rinnegan, byakugan and whatevergan, born from the corpse of the Sage of Six Path. Then we'll have 100 chapters with an unforgettable fight between Naruto and Sasuke, right before the final arc with their wedding and honeymoon.
It's too bad that Shokugeki no Souma is a cooking manga, otherwise I'm sure Tosh could draw up a pretty great Ping Pong manga xD
Speaking of eyes, what's the better one: Rinnegan or EMS? Or are they ever one and the same? I don't know anymore.
@Bartholemew:

It's a rock paper scissors scenario,but in general Rinnegan is better if you use it right.

iirc the EMS turns into the Rinnegan at some point. At least that's what I remember Madara talking about.

Can't the final villain simply be a giant eye then?
