So it's that time again, as vol. 52 was just released a few days ago. Anyone mind posting the new character artwork?

That may or may not be true, to both, but I still don't see how this means that CC2 has been working with Kishimoto, or that Kishimoto is regularly inspired by the games. It only means that CC2 try...

Naruto has been going downhill since the chuunin exam, specifically Naruto vs. Gaara.
Sure, there are parts before that bother me, some more than others, but generally I find the writing,...

Kakashi Gaiden was over in the manga several months before Narutimate Hero 3 was released. Anyway, it's not as if "throw kunai, then teleport" or "use rasengan, then teleport" are difficult concepts...

I completely forgot that vol. 51 was out. Anyone mind posting the new one?

Please to post for much happiness.

Volume 50 was just released. Hopefully someone will post the new character soon.

"Heading down the path of evil" *snort*

For someone who is supposedly turning evil, Sasuke's hands have been kept clean as possible, since he hasn't actually killed anyone. Kishi is trying to make...

First off, fix the link.

Second, why would you make a thread only to link to another one? Just copy or quote the post you made.

Well, it is the 10th anniversary of the series, after all. Makes sense that they'd want to make as much as they'd like out of it.

Still, good to finally see all the beasts. Though them not...

Shouldn't be too long until the cover appears. A couple of days more, now.

Hopefully it'll feature Killer Bee. Also looking forward to the original character design near the end of the volume.

Though it looks pretty good, it's more something that work better as a chapter cover or promo artwork. Still, gotta love the frogs, though.

Next cover had better be Killer Bee, with hopefully the...

Vol. 44 seems to be out. Looking forward to seeing the new fanart character.

Usually a few days before. Sometimes a more than a week, but only rarely.

Ah, I see. No problem, though. I'm in no hurry, so I don't mind when I get it. Take your time. ;)

There are a few jutsus I'm wondering about though, if it's not too much to ask; Mostly the names...

Kakuzu's backstory is pretty interesting. It's rather ridiculous that the databook contains this elaborate background story, and then he basically just goes "I fought shodai once lol". Yeah, uh, ok....

Major thanks to whoever scanned Hanzou's page. A real shame that there wasn't any more info on Hanzou, such as his abilities or his background, beyond what we learned in the manga. He always seemed...

Does someone with the tankobon and a scanner mind uploading the character for volume 43?
It'll be much appreciated.

*hijacks*
Discuss the Databook 3 info here :)
Let's keep the official Databook Thread only to post new info and translations, so it gets easier to follow the discussions.

<hr noshade size="1">...

Bellend, hahaha.

Interesting design, though. Seems most of the characters that are picked have rather peculiar weapons, like the one guy wielding that large carpet beater.
The name makes little...

Meh, the character from 38 is okay. He does look kinda silly, but the design does stand out, which is more I can say for many of the new additions to the cast.

The one from vol. 39 is a somewhat...

Mine has yet to arrive, as it shipped only yesterday. Since I paid didn't pay for express shipping, I'll probably have it around the 26th or 27th. Can't wait.

Anyway. Umm, des... I was wondering...

Yeah, sometime in January. Most likely around the time ch. 385 or 386 is released. So, early-to-mid January.

It's somewhat up in the air, but I'm thinking it'll be another 5-6 weeks until then, as each volume is usually released after the sixth chapter or seventh chapter of the next volume has come out....

All we know is that Hiruko hasn't been removed. From my experience with fighting games, when it comes to cases like this, we're usually faced with two separate characters. Developers love to flesh...

^You mean Famitsu?

Btw, des. The second A2 commercial clip was the only update from last week, right?
There wasn't anything in V-Jump or any other mag?

Me too.

I have volumes 30, 31 and 32, though I don't have any way to scan the pages. :(

Encyclopedia Mythica certainly isn't a bad place to start for info, though it's far from being the best, or even great. It contains a lot faulty info, as you mentioned. Especially concerning Oceanic...

All there is of Japanese myths is found in either the Kojiki or the Nihongi.

However, Kishimoto also makes use of various legends and folktales (the Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya, from which...

Yondaime... 'cause he's hot! And cool.
Itachi... 'cause he's hot! And cool.
Post-timeskip Gaara... 'cause he's hot... and the Kazekage. Poor boy's been alone for too long.
Post-timeskip Sasuke......

Are you kidding me? It's exactly why he is cool.
