Sounds honest to fuckery boring, no offence.

It also reminds me that this should have happened but never did.

The best Characterization Sakura ever gotten in 4 years and it a fan work.

Are some of y'all for real implying Sakura isn't a true friend to Naruto, for real? The only difference between Naruto and Sakura's relationship and that of others is that it's give and take, and yes Naruto gives significantly more than he takes, but it's not for a lack of trying on Sakura's part. She's easily one of Naruto's biggest supporters and understands him far better than most.

This could've been awesome for Sakura or Sai, I don't which I'd have like for it to be more. Sai already interfered once but but Naruto stopped him. It was great to see him angry though.

the gaara and naruto relationship is clearly a.... You are my best friend, but I'm not yours.

Naruto views sakura as his true love like Sasuke as his best friend, no matter who shows him more respect or love he is hell bent on them.

btw nothing new regarding the movie this week? Character designs etc?

Until I know 100% whether the movie is canon, I don't really care, honestly.

If it's just another movie like the others, interest drops 1000%

I think the only Naruto movies I enjoyed was "Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow" and "Road to Ninja"

the rest are forgettable garbage.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

Same, those are the only two I could actually bring myself to finish. Road to Ninja was mostly garbage storytelling, but the premise was interesting enough.
 
So, there's 8 weeks till the movie and the manga should be finished by then? Can't see it. Part 1 VotE lasted 16 chapters, 6 of those were about Sasuke's past. This one has higher stakes than that, there's going to be lots of talk, flashbacks, emotions etc, then we need the chapters where Team 7 are reunited for good, people waking up from IT, celebrating the end of the war, epilogue. All in possibly 8 chapters? Oh boy...

Until I know 100% whether the movie is canon, I don't really care, honestly.

Yes, that's what I want to know too.
 
Maybe the movie is canon and the manga is not ending any time soon. The last chapter before the movie will end in a cliffhanger. You see all these different things going on in the movie but it will never explain how things got to that point. Then the chapters will continue building to the movie like a prequel.

Kind of like those movies that show you the ending early on and then it says 5 months earlier and then builds up to what you saw. Then the manga will continue the end of the movie onward.
 
The ninja war has been much more enjoyable overall in the anime than the manga for me. So cool to actually see these crazy things happening.

Yeah at that time in the Manga, I had a huge Obito fatigue. So I pretty much tuned out, I don't remember how he got defeated, so it's like I'm watching it again from the first time.

Also Obito is a great character in the Anime. I hate his portrayal in the manga but in the anime I just felt how much fucking hate this guy has for the ninja world.
 
Yeah, it's pretty much nice guy logic, just like how other pairings are self-inserts too. But would it really contradict anything? Back then (when Kishi was rather consistent) one of the core message was if you work hard enough you can achieve you goals, get rewarded. And well, this series is about Naruto... People certainly don't have a problem applying this logic to Hinata "hey look at all the things she's done for him, no way they don't end up together!". But that's pairing logic for you :lmao

The self insert for Naruto and Hinata is Naruto. It's just the narrative for this one is "girl who acknolwedged and understood you before you became Ninja jesus" vs Sakura who is "girl who you are awarded with because you're ninja jesus". I'm not surprised people find the former more appealing, despite Hinata being this useless side character who appears every once in a blue moon.

Movie 3 was badass because it had awesome fight scenes like this. Chills.

I'll post more videos of it when I can, but there's a couple of good fights in that movie. Also, Naruto actually has a pretty cool design for a change.

This...this is perfect!
 
NaruSaku is dead since Sakura is dangerously in love with Sasuke.
SasuSaku is dead since Sasuke doesn't give a flip about Sakura's love.

Two pairings killed in one chapter.......Kishi you genius.

I didn't understand why they went with that bird thing for Naruto & Hinata's special until I saw that cover that was posted a few pages back with Neji in the background.
 
I loved the Part 1 Team 7 combination, and the little touches like having Guy forcibly holding Kakashi's hand up in celebration after their combination.

Holy shit, how Sakura thought of and treated Naruto in part 1 is sickening.

It's disappointing considering that Tsunade and a few other females in the series are actually pretty awesome.

*To Sasuke* "He's such a brat, I mean he doesn't even have parents to scold him or keep him in line LOL, It's no wonder he turned out this way!"

Sasuke: "FUCK YOU"

Yes...for like 20 chapters...

I swear some of you have only seen the first few episodes of Naruto.

Some revisionist nonsense

After that she stops treating him like dirt and move on to treating him like someone who simply gets in the way of Sauske's awesomeness and will never measure up. Sure everyone treated Naruto like that until after the Chunin exams, but she acts like it's impossible for him to have beaten Gaara even when Sauske flat out told her he did.

She gets better in part 2. But even when she gets better that really doesn't excuse to mean shit she said about him behind his back.

lol

they're cute in road to ninja

You think they were cute? You mean how when they returned their world, and despite Sakura having experienced how lonely Naruto felt his whole life, she decides to leave him to go alone just to having dinner with her missed family. She didn't invite him over, and she sure as heck didn't know Iruka would be there to cheer Naruto up.

That was just wrong.

One of my favorite Sakura moments. People get carried away with the Sakura hate, although I'm on board with her character breaking love for the sauce. She's at the very least power-wise, developed her skills and techs naturally without any god power-ups and eyeball cheats.


Although I'm legit trying to remember an honest to god bonding moment between Sakura and Sasuke. I'm seriously coming up empty.

Cuts to something else? She blows him off by claiming what happened was a long date and it goes to Naruto walking back home.

I don't know what's more incredible - the fact that Iruka is one of the mot popular characters in the manga even though he didn't do anything aside from the first few chapters, or the fact that Iruka hasn't done anything outside of the first few chapters even though he's one of the most popular characters in the manga.

I stopped respecting/fearing its power the nine tails as soon as this happened:



Straight up surpressed him.

That scene really ruined Sauske for me, they really shouldn't have given him the ability to do something like that at that point. Though Sauske is one of Kishi's favorite characters to draw as well as one of his favorites over all.

sasuke only suppressed what was leaking out of naruto. The part that was clinging onto his hoplessness and cowardness of...I CAN'T DO THIS!

Sasuke probably can't do that again because the 9 tails is not behind a cage anymore.

Why? It was almost immediately made practically irrelevant for match-ups between the two anyways, as Sasuke may have only been able to do that when the Kyūbi's chakra was running wild, and Naruto had no actual control over it; a scenario he had resolved to avoid even before that point.

Now, Naruto's working in perfect sync with all nine Bijū. Saying he's "immune" may be a bit of a stretch, but no Genjutsu—with the possible exception of specialized techniques like Tsukuyomi or Kotoamatsukami—should be able to put him down for the count.

I was talking more at the time. Not right now, where it's pretty much irrelevant. But at the time kind it felt kind of...ehh.

Now I doubt he could be able to do it at all, but at the time it seemed really out of place almost.
