Naruto Manga Thread (OT) - The End is here

Status
Not open for further replies.
Everyone's status at the beginning of Part 2 seemed to be Kishimoto's way of ranking them strength wise

Kage: Gaara
Jounin: Neji, Temari, Kankurou
Chuunin: Everyone else

I would definitely put Rock Lee over Gaara.

FF X Naruto?


lmao
 
Been pretty dead here all Sunday,so I'll kick it off with 2 burning questions on everyone's mind lol.

1. How the hell did this happen?

Kishimoto......why oh why?
xdGSvpd.jpg


2. Admit it NaruSaku fans,after almost 2 weeks are you finally ready to accept the 1st family of Konoha?

Bonus Question(which seems to be floating around the net recently)
3. If Sasuke was a girl,would it made the story more intriguing for Naruto who would chase him(in this case ''her'' from Part 1 to Part 2? Think about it,the interactions between Sakura,Itachi and everything else? Probably would of been badass if you ask me now that I think about.

Female Sasuke would have been awesome.



What episode # is this?

Probably wouldn't of been named Sasuke,but yeah I agree 100%. The story would of been awesome and the actions/relationship of team 7.

If Sasuke was female and nothing about him/her changed, I can almost guarantee that Naruto/FemSasuke would've been the endgame.

Hmmm maybe,but I would of hope Kishimoto would of altered ''her'' to fit a female badass character instead of keeping the whiny Sasuke we got. But don't count out Sakura though,I can almost guaranteed she'd have a 50/50 chance as well but Hinata would of been pushed out of the picture for sure lol.

I don't think gender in this instances changes much but the ending.

I don't think it would have been more badass than before.

Sasuke would have been a girl, and that would just be ok.

Sakura would have to have been a guy. But having the female of the team be the super skilled, revenge driven prodigy would have made for a much more interesting dynamic.

Naruto/Sakuro/Sasura

I don't know, 2 girls and a guy would of broke the standard of ninja team formation. I would of loved that outcome by itself instead of the run of the mill MMF.

699 was enough of a conclusion that some people will see that as the real ending. Though Naruto ending without him becoming Hokage seems insane.

Sasuke as a girl could have been cool then you run into another issue.

So nobody gonna chime in on the first 2 questions eh?

Well Anko is close to one of her students, Chocho Akimichi and apparently they frequently eat Anmitsu at the Dango Shop, Anko goes to, which is apparently some sort of Japanese ice cream dish.

Nevermind Anko's occasional eating of Dango, most of the time we see her in the village, that being a sort of rice cake / junk food-like candy.

Eating this shit all of the time is obviously going to take it's toll eventually.

Even in the Sasuke retrieval arc it was clear Naruto and Sasuke were on a different level compared to the others, but yeah the gap is massive now.

That arc is seriously one of the best in any anime. The fights and tactics used were spectacular and it ended with Naruto vs Sasuke.

Honestly if I were to rank the Konoha 11:

1.Naruto/Sasuke
2.Neji
3.Rock Lee
4.Gaara
5.Sakura

Team 7 too OP.
gaara isn't one of the konoha 11. And he's stronger than everyone you listed at all points of the manga At different points Naruto and Sasuke surpass him though

Jesus, the last chapter is rife with these.

Inojin has earrings in one panel, and none in the other.

Damn Tsunade STILL looking good.
We still don't know what she really looks like. She uses genjutsu to look like she did in her 20's.

Jiraiya is the only Sannin who accepted age. And he looked cool young and old.

Tsunade/Oro were too self centered to accept the aging process. :p

Yeah again that says nothing to the strength of the two characters. They can be(obviously they were) major super important figures and Hiruzen could still have been stronger than them.

I also find it funny that they made a giant statue of a guy who was trying to blow up the village. And they apparently don't teach anything about him in ninja school(as evidenced by Sasuke) despite having said statue next to Hashirama.

Actually, it makes sense.

Senju and Uchiha reach an agreement. Village is founded. Statues erected. Madara goes insane, leaves village, tries to attack it.

Doesn't sound like the kind of guy you want to set an example for the next generation, or even acknowledge. But the giant statue was still there, so they just called him "Hashirama's rival" out of respect for their friendship, but stopped passing on knowledge of his personality and what he did.

Probably was Hashirama who had the statues made, and Tobirama who made sure that madara wasn't really mentioned.

Raw power rankings? Okay. Otherwise I'd put Shikamaru up front... mostly out of bias, but.

Yeah, strictly talking in terms of combat ability. There really is no questioning Sakura would waste anyone but Naruto and Sasuke amongst the Konoha 11. I'd even rank her above Kakashi and 7 Gates Gai by virtue of her Byakugō.

I'd even go as far as saying she'd solo Team 8 and Team 10.

That might be a coloring error

He looks like his dad in one panel and his 17 year old self in the other lol.

I'm not surprised though. According to some folks on tumblr 699 was, for the most part, planned eight years ago and was tweaked a bit, which makes it consistent with what Kishimoto said in interviews. 700 was planned only 3 months ago, which is around the same time they started marketing The Last.

His goatee is hidden by the speech bubble. Without it, he looks no different than what he did in Part 2.

It's a pretty big goatee. Look how wide it is in the other panel.

Regardless, the mistake in evident in the fact Shikamaru looks like his teenaged self.

Old but saw this on tumblr:

ヒナタのキャラソンをレコーディングして参りました~っ(≧ω≦)/
アニメが始まって12年…
まさかヒナタで歌う日が来るなんて、夢にも思っていませんでした(^^ゞ
冬にピッタリな優しいバラードで、
ヒナタのナルトへの想いが詰まった愛溢れる曲になっています(*^-^*)
みなさんぜひチェックしてくださいね☆

From Nana Mizuki’s blog
She just recorded the song that her character ( Hinata ) is going to sing.. She said that it has been 12 years since the anime started and she never thought that Hinata would sing a song
The song is a slow ballad that fits perfectly to winter, the song is full of the love that Hinata feels for Naruto

I gotta hear this song now. can't wait for this movie.here is the source.

eh...I don't know about that. Using Tsunade as a comparison point, she was at best part of a five man team against Edo Tensei Madara who wasn't trying and still under Kabuto's control. Gai was fighting resurrected Juubi Jinchuuriki Madara.

Even before that, Gai pushed back Edo Tensei Madara's Susanoo solo with his Taijutsu. Tsunade needed an entire team of back up in order to land a hit.

I'm convinced Nana Mizuki is the sole reason why NaruHina happened despite it being entirely one-sided all throughout the manga.

Seven Gates Gai was making a poor attempt at entertaining JJ Madara.

Tsunade fought against 5 full-body Susanoo for an extended period of time using her Byakugō.

The most Seven Gates Gai could achieve was this, and that was against one Susanoo and it exhausted him.

Conclusion: Sakura > Seven Gates Gai
 
Yeah, pretty sure Gai would beat Sakura's ass all across Konoha if they fought for some reason. Especially if in the "what-if" scenario he was willing to 8th Gate.

Let the man grieve.
 
Well, that's a new one.

Don't keep up with the anime so I never knew Nana voiced Hina. I always liked her voice for Japanese language Colette in Tales of Symphonia so I'm okay with this.

We're going to be hearing stuff like this likely years to come due to Naruto's popularity and runtime, so best buckle your seats for the long haul.
