[Ultratech]

Welp, that was a fail.

 

[pirata]

I missed last week's Naruto. Anything I need to know about? What's with the gross heart stuff?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Literally hnnnnng.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Neji: You ain't shit

 

[grandjedi6]

Kubo Tite had a really great premise he stole from Yuyu Hakusho, and made 1 good shonen arc out of it, but no idea how to develop it after words

Same thing with Naruto except Kishi stole from HunterxHunter instead.

fixed

 

[Man God]

Legit Shook!

 

[Mr. Patch]

Suddenly: Domination.

 

[BassForever]

The Pain arc was good in my opinion.

Besides the ending.

Ruined by it's finale, and by the later truths that came out

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Neji is a total jerk

He sorta lived his life having to put with the crap the main branch have been doing to his side of the family.

 

[Rewrite]

Hinata getting fucked up.

 

[Seda]

Hyuga style can injure organs and Neji hit Hinata's heart.

 

[Schadenfreude]

*poke*

 

[mightynine]

Ant bites!

 

[Shard]

That looked surprisingly painful.

So, Togashi is responsible for two of the biggest series in Jump? Makes sense.

"Chakra points are struck" You are already dead.

 

[bigkrev]

You are already dead Hinata. You just don't know it yet.

 

[B-Dubs]

Still better then Kon shenanigans though

And honestly Kishi hasn't done anything great with the world of Naruto since part 1

The arc where (big part 2 spoilers)

Spoiler

Jiriya died and Naruto found out and had to decipher his dying message

was almost perfectly executed. It was a very impressive bit of writing. We just forget because what came after was a mixed bag that started great and ended badly.

 

[foxuzamaki]

chakra points are an actual real thing in real life

 

[Schadenfreude]

In the end, he's still beating up a little girl.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Target practice!

 

[mhs004]

Ruined by it's finale, and by the later truths that came out

Yea the finale was pure shonen BS, that's when Naruto turned into utter crap in my opinion.

 

[Raxus]

Chakra points!

Spoiler

never comes up again.

 

[Rewrite]

Elite from the failures!

It's a fact!

 

[Doctor Decimate]

DON'T MAKE ME DESTROY YOU

 

[BassForever]

I will give Kishi this, he did a good job making the audience hate Neji during this fight

 

[Shard]

Hinata needs an adult.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

What a bully

 

[Seda]

Second helping of verbal abuse

 

[blitzwolf215]

In the end, he's still beating up a little girl.

She's 12 and he's 13.

 

[pirata]

Hyuga style can injure organs and Neji hit Hinata's heart.

Ouch. And they're related, right?

 

[Amikami]

The Pain arc was good in my opinion.

Besides the ending.

Same. The end was such a disappointment. -_-

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sad music is sad again.

Also the mini arc where Shikamaru takes over as main character is amazing.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

One... More... Pushup...

 

[B-Dubs]

Chakra points!

Spoiler

Well it sort of comes up again in part 2. Kinda...

Also the mini arc where Shikamaru takes over as main character is amazing.

That too. For all his faults Kishi really does handle death in Naruto very very well, which is why I was disappointed with a recent one in the manga.

 

[commanderpepper]

Don't give him the satisfaction of a forfeit.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Ouch. And they're related, right?

yup

 

[grandjedi6]

Well 4 if you count YuYu and HxH themselves. He'd be way bigger in the west if it wasn't for HiatusxHiatus

 

[789shadow]

These aren't so much fights as they are people arguing philosophy.

 

[Seda]

Also the mini arc where Shikamaru takes over as main character is amazing.

That's my favorite part of Naruto in total.

 

[Schadenfreude]

"That shit's copyrighted."

 

[Levyne]

FEELS

sorta

 

[BatDan]

Well it sort of comes up again in part 2. Kinda...

Is Naruto just a tall tower of retcons and dropped plot points?

 

[Beelzeboss]

oh yeah we just noticed that she stalks you

 

[mightynine]

Kick this guy in the nuts chakra points, Hinata.

 

[BassForever]

Man I can't believe there was ever a time I wanted Naruto to end up with Sakura instead of Hinata, someone slap me

 

[Shard]

Sad music is trying to make me feel sad, I feel nothing.

 

[GaimeGuy]

She is ALWAYS watching Naruto

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Hinata with the NSA confirmed.

 

[Mr. Patch]
