I haven't found One Piece half as enjoyable since the timeskip. The crew feels different, the manga feels different. The last arc I well and truly enjoyed thoroughly was Thriller Bark. That was just amazing. I also enjoyed the Sabaody Archipelago and Impel Down, not so much the War of the Best, but it was still really good. Don't care much for Fisherman Island, Punk Hazard, or even Dressrosa tbh.
 
The problem with One Piece is that it can get mind numbling boring. Sometimes you get pages and pages of multiple characters and text and text and text.

so you like your mangas with less content?you should jump into bleach after naruto.

I like Naruto but the buildup for this fight has been awful. I only hope we get a beautiful epilogue that tries to give a proper fulfiling ending to this series, but 2 chapters remaining i'm kinda losing hope, tbh.

Don't care. I ain't ready to say goodbye. Gimme Part 3 if there is. Now or years from now after Kishi has had a well deserved rest and time to take his wife on their damn honeymoon.
 
Naruto doesn't need a part 3.
I just want it. Part 2 has been so driven by plot and this war that I feel like it has been forever since we got to spend some time with these characters. I wouldn't mind if we had a part 3 more akin to part 1. Naruto and co will be teachers of their own classes, go on missions, chunin exam for their students, etc...

I'd love to see more of the world. Maybe Naruto travelling around solving some issues and whatnot. Anything really! I just want to spend more time with the characters outside of war. I won't be disappointed if there isn't one, but I wouldn't mind at all if there was one.

A part 3 is not something I would want. Naruto is going to accomplish his dream at the end, I don't see what they can do with him anymore after that.

What I want is a sequal manga that is after Naruto's time. Maybe his grandson or relative, or hell, someone from a different village. Same universe, just seperated from Naruto's time.

Less be real, you could skip entire arcs in One Piece without missing anything substantial.

I honestly wouldn't mind a Rock Lee-esque spinoff about these three. So much potential.

Mito getting absolute DUST is disappointing

didn't she help seal Kurama during Hashirama and Madz' fight? wasn't that a thing in the story at some point?

Supposedly, but she wasn't around during the flashback. I think what likely happened is she took Kurama (who Hashirama subdued during the battle) into her body afterwards.

The Rain village was so cool. I wish Naruto had focused more an adventure so we could see and spend more time in places like that.

Agreed. I did not really like the direction Kishimoto took the manga following the Konoha invasion arc. More time should have been spent on adventure while the power levels were still somewhat grounded, before the countless sharingan upgrades, bijou cloaks, and power bombs.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
No you couldn't.
Skypiea is the common arc used to support this claim, and that's all been thrown out the window with
Norland's flashback gaining new importance in Dressrosa
. Of course, it was always a moot claim with Luffy and co. obtaining the gold, the Klabautermann's appearance, and the poneglyph they find there, but now the final nail in that argument's coffin has been hammered in.

Which is my point. He said you could easily skip an arc and would miss nothing, I said you can't.
Exactly. I'm agreeing with you.

But everything after that arc took place in an entirely new area. The Kage Summit was in the Land of Iron and introduced us to the samurai, and the war took place in the Land of Lightning. IIRC the turtle island was in Rock's territory, too.

remember Laboon? That whale that seemed super unimportant to the story? Well you better remember because hes apart of one of the main characters back story and character

I say throw Naruto into the middle of that and everyone wins. NarutoxHinataxSakura FTW.

Rebuild that Uzumaki clan.

It would have been nice if Kishi had shown flashbacks of Sasuke's parents and the rest of the Uchiha clan. It feels as though Kishi has gone out of his way to dehumanize them.
 
I don't want a part three either. It's time to say goodbye.

Kishi has done everything he wants to do with this world and these characters. If he did a part three, he would go in thinking he has to top the insanity of parts 1+2, and then we really would get aliens vs. crab people vs. the leaf village.

I want the last chapter to be a jump forward to Naruto as Hokage and get my closure. As much as I would want to see a series following Naruto with his advisor Shikamaru reining over the Leaf Village, I feel like there would be nothing but retreads and more parallels that would fall short of offering anything new that we haven't already seen in the first two parts.

That said, all of this 'new era' project talk and a special announcement coming paint a pretty obvious picture that we're getting a part three. God help me if they forgo showing Naruto as hokage to save it as the true ending of the series in part three another decade down the line :/
 
If we do get more Naruto I don't think it will be a full on part 3 as much as I want it. I think it will just be an epilogue series where we see where everyone is in life and whatnot. And then it will end for good. Not a huge multi-year plan.

The common reasoning in the fanfic world is that Iwagakure would have sent people after Naruto's life since if they knew he was the Yondaime's kid since the Yondaime was responsible for pretty much decimating their village during the ninja war.

I know the 4th did kill a lot of Stone village shinobi during the war, but I don't know if this fanfic fact is based at all on anything anyone said in the manga.

Not just a lot - he single handedly killed an invading force of 1000 stone shinobi near the end of the war.

Minato Namikaze was basically the #1 enemy of the Stone Village.

You know what, I'd love a prequel series about Ashura, and if not him, one of the countless other transmigrants he had before Hashirama.

Here's a Madara sketch I did. Trying to work this into a larger piece in time for the finale ;__;

That looks badass.

Reminds of this fan art way back when.

Looks sweet. I'm going to start working on my shonen jump cover. For the Naruto Good buy thing, maybe Kishimoto sees mine and likes it.

That must be really early then, to get Madara's Susanoo looking like that.

^^ Dafuq?

So theNaruto vs Sasuke incident that happened after the Sasuke and Danzo fight:,

NF_NS_216%2B0540.jpg


has no implications on the outcome of this fight, right?

I just played through that part in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 again too. Man I hope that was some legit foreshadowing. I can already see the meltdowns.
