I remember how years ago my friends and I would speculate about what might happen if Kenpachi was to learn shikai.
The consensus at the time was that the world would simply cease to be. A powerup...

Yes, I remember. I guess that's why the similarities jumped out to me. In a way though, this kind of makes it feel like if DBZ and Naruto were set in the same universe, the entire Naruto story would...

Has anyone else noticed how much Hashirama behaves like Goku? I mean they're both ridiculously laid back, friendly and still manage to be top dogs in their respective universes. Even his...

My money is on Juubi getting Kamui'd into the pocket dimension by Kakashi, Obito or both.
This fight is more about them than Naruto (Naruto only serves as a physical reminder to Obito of the kind...

To me this chapter was long overdue, it seems like Kishimoto finally remembered he had a GLOBAL ARMY OF NINJAS at his disposal and it's about time they see some action again as a reminder that...

Great review, I enjoyed it a lot, here's my thoughts on the chapter:


1) I'm starting to believe that Tsukishima's item for his fullbring might not so much be his page marker, what if it's the...

I vote Ukita.

1) because I know he won't get any other votes otherwise
2) because he tends to fade into the background or serve as cannonfodder in battle (with one notable and awesome exception,...

For me, when I started reading, I liked how it starts off really basic, with characters you *might* even come across in real life. Of course then the masters came into the picture and the series took...

I vote Sakaki, because he is a supreme badass.

That is all.

Shigure is a close second but Sakaki wins because it seems to me that Shigure is the weakest of the bunch >>; or maybe there's some...

something truly nice would be if Kishi started off with a whole new bunch of genin, and in the last page of the chapter introduce an adult Naruto as their jounin leader. Naruto could be acting like...

I'd put my money on either a Naruto/Sasuke conclusion arc followed by a timeskip, or a timeskip followed by a Naruto/Sasuke conclusion arc.

It'd be cool to see an adult Naruto at Minato/Kakashi's...

I'm fairly certain that like Orochimaru, Kabuto is a neutral force in the shinobi world. By this, I mean neutral in that his only allegiance is to himself. Already he's spinning an elaborate web of...

Somehow I see Grimmjow taking over HM after all this ends, since his flashbacks have him put forward as a king by the other arrancar (would that technically make them his fraccion as they were loyal...

interesting theory, but there's no real connection yet between Uzumaki and Uchiha that would suggest this. Also, it's unconfirmed who specifically decided the Uzumaki needed to die, with the Senju as...

I think Yachiru will forever be stuck in the same role as Unohana: everyone acknowledges she's strong, but we'll never get to see her in action.

I don't think Sasuke will turn good.
Or rather, if that's what Kishi is planning, I'd have a hard time buying into it. For me, Sasuke is currently beyond redemption.
I can't think of a convincing...

In their defense, Shunsui and Ukitake weren't exactly "teaming up" in their fight with Stark. They didn't attack together, they more or less took turns. That's not much of a team effort if you ask...

well, I could accept Sasuke's drive for revenge when he hung on to those principles of going against Itachi's wishes, not wanting to follow in his footsteps. It indicated that no matter how obsessed...

Not wanting to come in bashing Sasuke from the get-go, could anyone please rationalize for me why Sasuke now, after every fuss he made about NOT taking the road Itachi planned for him (not killing...

hmm... well the fit on my list is Sasuke. No reason that hasn't already been stated before so moving on.

Deidara: I hate him for being a letdown. When I first encountered him in the manga, at the...

You're right, showing shunpo and blade exchanges would be boring, but that's exactly what I'm trying to get at >_O
A villain like Aizen, who's shown to be so supremely powerful that he can take on...

I too have a little point of disagreement, aside from the otherwise great review.

It has to do with the portion of Aizen VS Isshin.

Aizen, our favorite main antagonist of the series, is now...

no... and yes.

I'll try to deal with each separately...

Shunsui:
He was able to match Stark with both unreleased, eventually killed Stark with his Shikai's ability.
Besides that, he's...

Why did he feel the need to antagonize Hitsugaya when on every encounter he was toying with him? :p

Aizen seems like a control freak to me, and if he can keep calm while his opponent is an...

Hmm there is a difference between steering Zaraki and manipulating him.

Think about it, anyone who knows Zaraki, knows he is by far the most eager to fight a strong opponent.
Aizen didn't need...

@team#7forever: true, but I think we're expecting him to be a genuine villain and display insight/logic, not go about like a delusional berserker >>;

as one of the general sasuke haters I'd like to clarify that I have no problem with Sasuke becoming a villain, honestly it was the only natural progression for him, as the dramatic, grief-driven...

hehe gotta catch em all.

I;m thinking he may have lied a bit about EMS and might actually have to switch eyes over certain periods to avoid it wearing off. Hence his need to collect as many...

his plot no jutsu of getting stronger from hatred, which is a laughable concept, spam of MS which is completely ruining his image of resourcefulness that I used to like him for in part 1, his...

Hehe I do agree that Sai was at his most memorable when he was being brutally honest or trying to act like a normal person, and I agree about Danzou. I never LIKED the character, but that is exactly...

I would've said Sai or Danzou, if their characters had been expanded upon more.
Personally I'd have loved Sai to remain ambiguous, I liked him a lot more back in the Orochimaru Bridge/Sasuke...

If it's a mistranslation, the viz publishment of that chapter in volume 43 was mistranslated as well :\

I can scan the page for you if you want proof, but the "official" english release...

Jiggy: Yes, even if Haku herself said so.

Haku will always be a girl to me :P
I don't care what anyone else says XD

I already made a long point, but there's one thing I hadn't mentioned yet that's STILL bugging me, and increasingly more so the more I think about it.

Something I just realized... Zabuza doesn't stand THAT bad a chance as his suiton jutsu are techniques infused with his chakra. It doesn't matter that Suigetsu can liquify, as things like the water...

Suigetsu has shown that if he's too low on chakra, he's incapable of sustaining a solid form (see VS Killer Bee). Zabuza's only way to win is to drag out the battle until it reaches this stage,...

Not only that, but vision-genjutsu require your opponent to see you too.
Zabuza is trained in the art of silent killing and as he demonstrated against Kakashi, he doesn't need to see his opponent...

I stand corrected :P Clearly Madara either has battle tactics like Naruto's or is just a very sadistic little Uchiha :p

My theory for Danzou requiring his arm to be sealed is because it drains too much chakra. Similar to Kakashi's reason for covering up his sharingan eye unless he absolutely needs it, the seal might...

In superman97's defense, hokage is still the title for the person most fit to lead konoha. Aside from leadership skills and political insights, the hokage must also be an exceptional shinobi, serving...

@Kusachu:
It's still just such a thing I'd expect Naruto to do, but not Sasuke. Sure he was waiting for the opportune moment to kill Danzou, but that would have been either before or after Danzou...

I wouldn't overlook the possibility of Yamamoto pulling a surprise AoE attack on Aizen.

First off a little disclaimer: I have not read all 19 pages of this thread so if I'm repeating points brought up earlier, I apologize in advance.

To me, Naruto stood out as a series because it...

this.

If a disease is what killed them, I'd be annoyed. Seems disease is what kills off all the strong characters :P

Zabuza deserves mention for his mastery of silent killing as well. It's a shame he was pitted against Kakashi from the get-go, I would've liked to see him actually apply those lethal skills, if only...

I too don't think she'll die (or rather, I don't want her to. Guess I'm already a Stark/Lili shipper). Rather I wouldn't mind the following scenario:

Stark VS Shunsui drags on and Uki VS Lili will...

Gaou Gaou Gaou Gaou Gaou Gaou Gaou Gaou XD

sure he's all brawn, but he does have a sort of code of honor he follows and as a player he's had the strongest presence on the field, imo.

Height - A (6'4")
Weight - S (250+ lbs)
Power - A (100+ kg)
Speed - D (never tried the 40yd dash but with my body it shouldn't be fast)
Technique - F (never played)
Intelligence - A
Stamina - D...
