What ever power Naruto has, his lover the Sauce will have as well.
The only thing I can think of is that Sasuke bit Karin who is an Uzumaki and that lets him transfer chakra. Of course Kishi is unlikely to push that out so that leaves it as another Sasuke power up.
Sauce is the better ninja anyways. Wouldn't mind if Naruto dies and Sasuke becomes Hokage as a last minute troll to the fans.

Curse mark's been transferring chakra for decades! Orochimaru is the most special of all.
Main character in Blue Sky is also called Kenshiro and has the 'Your already dead' catch phrases.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
He doesn't even have it anymore and it didn't transfer chakra so much as the ability to passively draw natural energy
I don't think there's ever been a panel definitively showing that Naruto can read at all

Sure, it got ripped out of him, but he still spent that time in the barrel. His body is a-okay with Juugo's chakra. The dude was able to repair a gaping hole in Sasuke's chest by melting himself into it. Part of Sasuke's body right now is literally Juugo's flesh. If he can handle that, he can handle his chakra.

I wanted to make a joke but someone on the internet preceded me...
the caption says "I like it you like it and he likes it!"
Wasn't he reading one of Jiraiya's books during the sage training.

Aizen would have a one up on him if so since its was basically Urahara that stopped the Troll god (with Ichigo's help)
Nope Prequel where the main guy is pretty much Kenshiro's Uncle and did the same awesome shit his Nephew is now famous for
Nah he tried to use the ending of Jiraiya latest book at the time to defeat Kakashi.
Although its possible he was saying rubbish and Kakashi being the fanboy that he is freaked out since he doesn't want to hear (or copy due to his sharingan) spoilers

What the hell is going on with Toriko?
A freaking flashback-in-a-flashback.

Clearly the author of Toriko is a fan of Kishi's writing style and is emulating the first's flashback into a flashback
Please, if Kubrick directed Bleach we'd have entire chapters of Ichigo staring at Rukia, and then blinking very slowly over the course of 17 pages.
Very..., very..., slowly.
Slowly.
Sloooooooooooooowly.

WTH Wonzo there is a thing known as running a joke into the ground.
It really loses its impact when you keep posting it over and over and over again.
If you are trying to bait Beam, do it through PMs man.

Well, Skypiea is finally over. Can't say I'll miss it much- and Oda is such a goddamn troll that he makes 80% of vol 31 a fucking flashback to explain the history and conflict of Skypiea, which is impossible to care about because the arc has greatly overstayed it's welcome by that point. Hope we never see these characters again!
Next story arc is one i've seen on Toonami, so once I finish it everything will be a 100% surprise. Can't wait!

It's symbolic of the repetitive nature of most shounen series.

Now it's Usopp's turn to do something cool. I've been waiting ever since Fishman Arc for him to kick some butt so it's been a while for me.
Oh yeah the "vocal minority" that is largely the majority of posts on the internet about these series; you know, the place where anime/manga is even still relevant is as it sure as hell isn't relevant outside of internet circles.
As for buyer opinions you can't even factor them whatsoever when you're critiquing a series. If we accepted buyer opinion was law then a lot of shitty movies would be getting passes as week after week movies that are critical flops makes tons of money and get a lot of love from the masses. This doesn't mean those movies are of quality, however.
Naruto and Bleach are the Grown-ups 2 of the manga world. They're basically low key, critical flop series that are only popular based off name recognization, hype, word of mouth and nostalgia. There's a reason why most people who talk about Naruto and Bleach talk about how awesome it was when Naruto fought Gaara or when Ichigo fought Byakuya rather than talking about how awesome the current fight between Hitsugaya and forgetable-Quincy-character-#100 and the fight between Naruto and Tobi.
I read Shingeki no Kyojin a fairly long time ago when the manga was only a couple of volumes long. It was pretty solid from what I read but had shitty art. But it isn't the next FMA, which people are treating it as.

Mori has really been taking a lot of cosplay abuse in this series.

If you really want to believe internet message boards are a reliable indicator of anything, go right ahead :lol
Yeah, but have you seen what's in that eye
There as reliable as anything else is. It's a reflection of people's opinions. If thousands of people, every day, constantly critique Naruto and Bleach for it's problem it's a problem with those manga. The majority of fans who even read Naruto and Bleach don't even finish the series to even understand how bad it gets with time. That's why so many people out there from casual fans to hardcore fans will always talk about the stuff that WERE of quality at one time, rather than what's going on now.
If someone built a reliable critical scale on anime and manga series from scratch I'm 100% sure Naruto and Bleach will get criticized as much as they do on average on pretty much every message board or internet community out there. Maybe that'll be a project I make one day, but for now there's no reason to deny the amount of criticism both of these series gets.

They aren't, especially not when, you're almost assuredly talking about Arlong Park and NeoGAF. Its actually a totally asinine point to argue that internet posts reflect reality because only a fraction of the people who read and watch Naruto post on message boards, e.g. my wife.
Where does Arlong Park even factor into this? I barely view that board and for some reason it always gets namedropped. I have an account there, but I also have an account on Narutoforums and have roughly about the same amount of posts there as I do on Arlong Park. Who gives a shit? It's completely irrelevant. I have other accounts on other boards, so fucking what? You can find me under the same name with a couple thousand posts on Zelda Universe too. I'm not sure how this is relevant at all.
The most popular message boards in the world right now are 2ch, 4chan, reddit, and Neogaf. If not THE most popular, some of the most popular. All of them are full of people who criticize Naruto and Bleach on a weekly basis.

Stealing a bankai power as not The same as stealing a zampakto spirit. They can't go bankai anymore, but they can still use spirits to shikai.

Most people don't use message boards. People that actively post tend to be argumentative.
I don't understand why you don't seem to understand that message boards aren't a reliable cross-section of the population of anything.
The anime and manga fandom exists more on message boards than it does in real life, however, so the population not using message boards argument doesn't really apply here. Anime and manga are dead markets outside of Japan right now and the majority of people who are viewing these products are pirating them aka we have absolutely no real measure on how many people are actually anime and manga fans in the West. This is why you absolutely cannot use buyrates and sales as an argument cause it's missing more than half of the fandom's opinion that exists on the internet. This also applies to the piracy that happens in Eastern countries too.
When it comes to opinions on anime/manga, message boards is all you got as a weight. There's positive opinions too, but going to the average message board when bringing up a series like Naruto and Bleach in a topic will just get critical lashings about how much the series suck.
Like I said, if there was a legitimate site that criticized anime and manga properly, both of these series would be the lowest on the totem pole when it comes to popular shonen series.
