In terms of length, Manda was very likely to have been larger than Madara's Susanoō.
Definitely the genetically modified Nidaime Manda.

Not as bad as a grown man with two kids still having that voice of a child (Goku)

Has Karin ever repped the Uzumaki symbol in the manga or anime? It would be cool if it wasn't just Naruto doing it and considering she is the only other one left....get on it!
Also it's a shame Nagato never mentioned it unless I'm missing it. I just think it would be cool to recognize each other as being from the same clan, especially when you're a dying breed.

I have no idea. Maybe someone told them growing up or something. That's why I wish they'd give it slightly more attention.
I guess it doesn't matter. Sasuke flipping out that the Uchiha clan is going to go extinct meanwhile just a short while ago there were more Uchiha walking around than Uzumakis

Well Sasuke grew up among his clan and had familial pride
I don't think Naruto was ever aware of having a clan and the same probably went for Karin and Nagato, so I don't think they have any sort of attachment to the name. I do think it's weird that Kishimoto has basically ignored the Uzumaki stuff. Apparently they had access to the freakin' death god at will but they're not important enough to come up among even casual shinobi discussion lol

That's what kills me most. And they were apparently a world renowned clan. I always love hearing about this stuff and it's just a shame they never brought it up more often. I feel like it could have lead to some potentially awesome flashbacks and cool conversations between characters like Naruto/Karin/Nagato.
It seems like they were an important clan mostly because of their skill in Fūinjutsu so you think they'd come up more often than they do.

I just think Kishi made them later. Just like we have no explanation of how the senju disappeared or hashirama died. I think Naruto was suppose to be a nobody at the start.
It seemed to be that way. Especially in the fight with Neji. He told Neji that destiny didn't have anything to do with how you win or lose. That your parentage doesn't determine your own strengths. Hard work was the real determining factor.
Then it's revealed that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage and a reincarnation of the sage's son.

Sasuke's one has wings though. I bet Madara is jelly.
It doesn't negate the hard work he has done though. He would never be where he is now without that hard work.

The Sage said that the offspring doesn't always gets the parents strength and that Naruto was the reincarnation of someone that inherit nothing from the Sage of Six paths, but by hard work and friends was able to become strong. Also take in my that Indra was definitely the stronger as it took an army and Ashura to defeat him.
Madara's also had wings.
We just never saw them used, beyond sheaths for his blades.Speaking of, that's another notable difference between Madara and Sasuke's "perfect" Susanoō. Sasuke's swords are held by hands near the joint of the wingsthe alula, I think it's calledwhile Madara's are held by hands at the tips of it's wings.
Hagoromo said that Asura's strength blossomed through his hard work and support from friends, but not that he brought all those friends along to fight against Indra. Asura gained power comparable to his older brother through those experiences.
[EDIT] - Ack!... Sorry about the double post, I meant to edit that in. >_<
Yeah I know that Naruto's done hard work. I'm just saying that the fact that he has that lineage kind of takes away some of the credence of his message to Neji.

Meh I think Naruto's main message is that destiny and fate are bullshit. You're not destined to be anything you don't want to be. Anyone can pick their own path. That's the key thing. Naruto having some notable lineage doesn't change that. He can still choose whatever path he wants and his choice is his own. Same with Sasuke. Same with Neji.
Teaser is out, some screen caps I took:
Expected more from his face, did they shorten the hair even more than in those sketches?

Wasn't there hints of him being the fourths son early on? The son of a hokage is no nobody.
Also short haired future Naruto looks so dumb. They should have kept hair the same or more like his dads.

Not sure how anyone can hate the shorter hair. Dude like a srs grown ass man now. Badass.
with everyone saying this I can totally visualize him using one of his harem jutsu in the opening intro

There were hints that were implied, but Kishi wanted Naruto to stand alone back then.
Like how Jiraya thinks Naruto looks like Minato or reminds him of Minato. It was also said that the 4th wanted Naruto to be thought of a hero by sealing the 9 tails in him.
Kishi left no dead ends with this, but left himself options. It's a shame that he didn't do that for other characters like Hashirama, Tobirama, Tobi (Obito reveal was stupid as hell still to me), Madara, Kaguya (Made up on the spot I bet), Hagaromo (everything was suppose to originate with him, but was retconned to Kaguya), and Black Zetsu.

that would be great too!
Anyway I know I'm late but I just watched the latest anime episode. Good stuff. Any episode with lots of Itachi flashbacks are invoking many feels. Also the Kage's doing their version of the power rangers hyping up a fight was funny.
i agree with you. i think it's safer to say that your lineage reveals your maximum potential. so you can be destined to do great things, as long as you work for it. from his mom side, he gets the demon, sealing techniques (somehow), and life force. and from his dad he gets cool hair.
where would naruto be without things like his father's rasengan, limitless energy from the fox, the summons (same summons minato and jiraiya used), soul of the son of an alien conqueror, the destiny child prestige that somewhat gave the frogs a reason to give him sage lessons, and even jiraiya searching for a destiny child to teach. he still had to train and work for it, but would these opportunities exist if he wasn't destined for it? the destiny vs hard work can do anything theme was definitely muddled up if you ask me

The design is not the problem. Is that they are using the incompetent anime team. Every fucking scene is badly drawing with those people.
which team is working on this ova ? can you tell me the episodes

Sasuke is already looking like a chump with all the buffs he received. Should have just let Orochimaru have his body. Or give his eyes to Naruto so he can achieve SSJ4.

Ehhh I wish his hair was longer. I'm liking his new outfit. I can't wait to see what the rest of the cast looks like.
Kaguya feels like an ass pull to me.

Naruto needs to wear new pants and take off that headband. Put it on your shoulder or something.

Orochimaru needs to take over Kaguya. She knows every jutsu and that was his dream.
Didn't look like she knew Harem no Jutsu.

So whats the timeline of this new movie? Does it take place at the end of the manga or way after? Will it be cannon to the main story or a spin-off?
Though she certainly seemed interested to learn.
I believe it's 2 years and canon.

You're not the only one, the hair is awesome. I still prefer the look of him in his normal clothes from the sketch. Looks a lot better than with the headband and uniform on.

His attire is too plain. It's just begging for a pimp coat on top of it.
If by "this", you mean "Naruto prevails", that's hardly a surprise, is it?
