So a new year has come (i wish you'll good health and every one's dream would come true) and while we all are full of anticipation i decided to look back at the past year to revisit the special moments and eents in manga, it's not a full recap and doesn't have a pull , simply every one post the special moments , events, panels, everything that made this year special for him whether it's a wonderful moment or a poorly written one.
For this year was amazing, lots of revelations, the plot moved forward at last and a lots of character development, it had many surprising and action packed events so i'm really satisfied this year.
this year started from the middle of danzou and sasuke fight, the early chapters were 477: don't speak of itachi (last chapter we read in 2009) and 478: susano O, complete. from which the pace started to move at a high speed (very fast for some people) we got Sasuke character development as he goes insane and stabs Karin to get to danzou transforming completely to the dark side along with his completion to susano'o and his decision to take itachi's eye. we got team 7 reunion with slight development to kakshi and sakura (where we see kakshi's opinion of sasuke's departure as his fault for the first time), then naruto enters the scene and we realize he has a shocking resolution for his internal conflict about sasuke.
the war develops also as we see the preparation for the war, the decision of confining jinchuuriki's and we also see madar's preparations and discpver a tiny pits about his secrets throughout the year, Kabuto enters the ecene of war also and we get a fresh direction to the plot where he stirs alot of events and getting on Madara's nerves.
Naruto also starts the most anticiated training to control the kyuubi where alot of things happens(meeting with Killer B , confront his innermost dark emotions, fighting kyuubi , meeting his mother, getting kyuubi's chakra , controlling it, training on new for of rasengan) a lot of development of naruto's character happens during the training but a lot of side events like madar's versus konan happens and kisame versus guy and kabuto capturing yamato happens during the training.
we end the year with the begining of the war and knowing a lot about how edo tensei works and kakshi confronting zabuza where a lot of anticipation is there for an epic war in the upcoming year. so the year ends with chapter 522:I'm already dead with the mist 7 swordsmen appear for the first time (what an end).
So a ver busy year and a lot's of events , after this short summary i'll try to pin point the mos notable events for me i hope you 'll add you take on this year whether commenting on it or add your rating to the manga events this year.
Star of the year:
I really wanted to give it for Madara, he has been very busy this year and appeared almost at every event but i can't help but give it to "Kabuto". even though he appeared a little bit this year he impacted the Manga plot greatly whether by adding a fresh plotline, increasing the villains force in the war, kidnapping yamto and anko , getting on madara's nerve
and messing with the minds and emotions of the shinobi world and manga readers. he really was a great addition and deserves to be the star chracter of the year.
The most thrilling manly death of the year:
"Kisame" ofcourse, i mean you summon a shark to eat you and escaping with valuable information , you get a nice flashback and a compelling reasonable background story, this was the best death of the year for a formidable character even if he didn't have direct effect on the story.
The most disappointing death:
"Danzou" a very good example on how you build a vey good story around character , incorporate him to the main plotline, giving him the tools and opportunities to bring chaos to the manga, hint that he has a special plan to deal with his setbacks in the kage meeting, even hintin g that he is after naruo(the main character) then killing him in th most underwhelming way, i reckon this to be kishimoto's worst choice in the whole manga and i really wonder how will he close the open plotlines he opened using danzou then killing him before even discussing any of it we didn't get to know what's special about shisui's eye.
Shocking character development:
No comment (still shocked)
(playing the song crazy).
Best moment/event this year:
what else, the story of what happened when the kyuubi attacked. Really this little Kushina/ Minato flashback has the ability to stand alone as an event by itself exactly as kakashi gaiden that really was a very will written event: informative, emotional , thrilling, and gave me goosebumps while i was reading it. and it had minato in it so it's automatic win for me. IT really deserves special award just for being the awesomest of moments this year
fascinating Special appearance:
"Kushina" , really kishimoto didn't disappoint with her, we also had a lot's of revelation about her and her clan , she helped naruto in subduing the kyuubi , told us her story with minato and what happened that night , really her chracter and story were written very well.
Best flashback
there has been many wonderful flashbacks like danzou's and konan's , the kushina flashback took several chapters and it's more of a gaiden than flashback also kisame flashback featuring his back story was very good but what took my attention was>>>
kisame&itachi really wonderful flash back with (ofcourse itache presence also made it an automatic win) it has a very deep conversation between itachi and kisame and it was overall very well written and fitting the situation.
while it's not informative as the other flashbacks it really touched me may be because i specially like the kind of conversations that defined the humanbeing whether dead or alive , or may be the itachi fan inside me took over
Best panel
well that's for you to choose , this year we had a various wonderful panels to choose from , in fact i really couldn't choose only one .
worst panel
well it's not for bad drawing but for the failur of delivery of the meaning , it was cliche` and not befitting the situation at all even if it was well drawn
ofcourse i'm talking about the Rainbow panel
Worst event
The naruto armadillo convo, even if it was done for comic relief it was un fitting, butchering naruto's development, and wasn't even funny , this arc had a lot more funny moments than this and was poorly written by kishimoto (sure there were worse events than this but this is what came in mind so what's your worst event).
I think i'll suffice with this recap for now , may be i'll come back later adding new categories and events, i'm waiting for your contributions , you may use may categories but it will be better if you used you categories , SO what is you 2010 Naruto's best and worst moments?
