This chapter almost made me wish that Wangnan was the main character, I really want to see his -maybe futile- struggle to change the tower itself. I think that right now he might have a more interesting reason to climb than Baam.
1) What's been some of the greatest moments so far in Naruto as a whole?
Like syx said, everything involving Itachi, but my top two moments of this manga were the two goodbyes he said to Sasuke as well as the whole chapters that these happened (402 and 590). Everything else is below.
2) Who...
Re: Naruto 590 Discussion / 591 Predictions
So, Tower of God releases an awesome chapter and a few days later, here comes Naruto with an even better one... I'd really like to see which one blackjack chooses for best chapter of this week in his review.
Re: Naruto 590 Discussion / 591 Predictions
I agree completely! What a chapter! This might actually be the one to overthrow chapter 402 as my favourite chapter of 'Naruto'!! Best chapter in years! Thank you Kishimoto-sensei indeed!
Re: Naruto 589 Discussion / 590 Predictions : No Chapter This Week
To quote myself from the previous chapter's discussion:
What Itachi wanted to say to Sasuke may very well have been what he did tell him in the last chapter (see link in quote - well, that's the end of his monologue).
Re: Naruto 587 Discussion / 588 Predictions
Kishimoto really puts all the wise words in certain characters' mouths, mostly Itachi's... Many others have said wise stuff now and then, but the only one consistently producing thoughts to reflect upon is him. It's for qualities like these that he's...
Re: Naruto 586 Discussion / 587 Predictions
This was a mistranslation, the more precise one being 'these two jutsu form a pair', which means that
It's like the mistranslation that 'the sword of Totsuka is the perfect counter for the sword of Kusanagi', the correct one being 'the sword...
I agree. It would have been a piece worthy of a place in the top manga of all time. It's the same with songs, the commercial ones are usually sub-par, while the masterpieces don't sell so much.
First of all, sorry if there is already a thread for this, I didn't feel like searching...
Do you feel that Naruto would be better off in a seinen magazine than in Shonen Jump?
In my opinion Kishimoto is a great writer, especially when it comes to speeches; so many of his characters'...
Great review as always, black. I would love to see your prediction come true, as in 15 or so chapters and after everything has gone bad for the alliance everything reverses to this point in time and Itachi casually says to Sasuke: "It worked."
One last thing I want to point out is that finally...
@ Uriel
I rephrase:
Replace
A=abscense of fat women
B=certain social role of women
Uriel: I believe A! That's sexist.
LnDRash: Why is A sexism, we're talking about ninjas. And moreover, A isn't true, because blah blah.
Uriel: I'll tell you why A is sexism! Sexism can be found when A or B...
Now that I know what 'Straw man' means I have to say that you are the embodiment of this technique in this thread. Let me demonstrate, keeping in mind that I'm not taking sides (sexist or not), at least not in this post. I'm just making it clear to you and the other members. I'm sorry in advance...
