naw, sasuke is definitely dominating right now, especially in the Shippuden movie 2: bonds, from the looks of it. plus i have lost all love for the shippuden anime because of tons of reasons im gonna post about soon.
i wish i could see some of that action too. like how did sakura get to chuunin, or most importantly, the training kakashi went through to obtain his mangekyou sharingan. wouldn't that make such a kickass anime special? that would be the greatest! i feel like some characters aren't portrayed as strong as they ought to be and it's unfair you know? but i doubt there's really gonna be any room for the side characters to show their stuff.
omg, the fight between the hachibi and sasuke was SOOOO stupid and anticlimactic... like hell sasuke could beat that guy! he can't win unless he's got tons of help from people more talented than him or "main character always wins no matter what" syndrome. damn, his new sharingan is retarded! i mean how many ARE there?
"sparkly-poo ninjutsu"? XDDD it's so true!
whoops, sorry about the lack of paragraphs! ^__^'' i just forget myself in all that ranting... don't worry, im trying to improve that.
I haven't visited S.H.I.T. since I started it and submitted the first post, and when I came back, I was like... O_o Boy, has it grown long! lol, and it's all thanks to you ^^
I think Naruto and Sasuke have equal amounts of screentime nowdays, I was disappointed that the other characters didn't have a chance to show their stuff (e.g. how did Neji become a Jounin? He should be able to kick major ass for getting promoted in such a short time!) I feel that the other characters have a lot of room for more elaboration.
The Hachibi was definitely more than a match for Sasuke. He charges in carelessly and got his sorry ass kicked, then has his lackies sacrifice for him. He's got Karin and Juugo to heal (2 healers, how's that for a start!) and Suigetsu to buy them precious time for escape, PLUS newly-earned god-modding Mangekyou Sharingan, which now takes the shape of an ATOM for god knows why. (there'a a nucleus and whoo... electrons in fixed orbit! 8D)
There's no way Kishimoto-sensei would dispose of him. Isn't his obsession with Sasuke pretty damn obvious? After merely 2-3 years, he comes back with what seems like ILLEGAL godlike shit up his sleeve! Or quoting a friend, "sparkly-poo ninjutsu" >_> I strongly believe this is character obsession, just like how Kubo-sensei is continuously feeding Ichigo with new powers at an insane rate.
Anyway, great post :) I love reading lengthy stuff, but do try to increase the paragraphing. That would make it more reader-friendly.
i know, that's exactly why sasuke's a complete moron! so, itachi dies and destroying konoha is the conclusion he comes to??? what the hell? no really, that's about the last thing i would have expected. i didn't think sasuke was THAT much of a idiot! i thought he couldn't get any worse, but apparently i was wrong.
well, shino and all those other minor characters aren't really the focus of the story, so it's rare to see them actually fighting, so one can't really say if they are at a ridiculous level either. it's the main characters that become too powerful. my point being that in most shonen anime, there's usually never a limit to how strong they can become, and naruto's probably gonna keep coming up with new jutsu and better versions of rasengan. besides, it's all about naruto vs. sasuke, so anyone would just naturally assume that sasuke and naruto could easily beat any of the minor characters like kiba.
omg, bleach is ridiculous now. i mean, in that anime, there's an even greater example of the main character still being alive because he's the main character. there's no way ichigo should even be alive. if i were to count all the times he should have died, the list would never end. plus he bleeds like more blood from a tiny cut than the amount that's in a normal human body. and like that deal with rukia, it's also *POOF!* now all of a sudden, orihime suddenly has the power to bring back the dead as an excuse to keep the main character ichigo from being dead(and he totally WAS too). there was literally no time for her to have learned how to do that. she goes with ulquiorra and is immediately able to do that for no logical reason.
and as for sasuke killing orochimaru, i saw that one coming years ago. although i would so rather want orochimaru to live and sasuke to die. sigh... is it just me or do manga artists draw exactly what it is nobody wants to happen and doesn't draw the things that everyone wants to happen? after he killed orochimaru, I thought he was still annoying, but i was glad that he did.
To me the whole "Shit, lets destroy konoha and team up with akatsuki" thing was demented. i mean i could imagine him wanting to kill those in konoha responsable for the plot against the uchiha, but genocide on the whole village? didn't tobi even say the 3rd didn't want the spying and crap against uchiha? and Tsunade was off gambling and not associating with the village then...so why?
personally i dont think naruto has reach the bad shonen point of ridiculous power-uppage, cause side characters like shino and kiba can apparently still keep up decently in conflict, unlike in DBZ where the diffrence in power became so stupidly huge that guys like piccalo and krillin just basiclaly dissapeared off the show.
or like in bleach where unexpectedly *POOF!* rukia can kill arancarr no prob when she got friggin owned by a hollow ichigo could beat the instant he became a shinigami. i mean in naruto they had a 3 year gap of training, and when naruto wanted to learn shit he had long mostly boring chapters of him training.
but anywayz never liked sasuke all of part 1, like him for a bit after he killed orochi in part 2 and after itachi kicked the bucket he returned to being annoying.
