To be fair the Byakugan, normal Sharingan and Rinnegan are all actually kind of okay. It's the loving Mangyeko Sharingan and Perfect Mangyeko Sharingan that make everything terrible, also how much the importance is given to the Uchiha over the other characters and clans. The Byakugan just gives you 360 degrees of pseudo x-ray vision, the Sharingan gives you the ability to see everything directly in front of you no matter how fast and the Rinnegan gives you mastery of Chakra/Jutsu. None of which are particularly ridiculous on their own considering you can replicate them with other Chakra techniques or training. The Mangyeko is ridiculous because everyone gets 2 unique powers, one in the Right Eye and one in the Left Eye. They all also get the Susanoo no matter what, which can have it's own personal silly powers. There is no limit to how powerful these powers can be, as Danzo has proven and Tobi/Madara continues to prove.

The Byakugan sounds more like an inconvenience than anything. You can't do overpowered bullshit with it, everyone assumes you're blind, they keep calling you 'that bakugan guy', you look through a wall and accidentally see Jiraiya eating ramen out of a woman's belly button

Historians claim that society was able to prosper thanks to this particular decadence's failure to launch.

I actually wrote a program that generates random anime / visual novel / light novel names. I only gave it one sentence pattern, but there are some wrinkles in it, so it comes up with things like "Remember Those Fists" and "Lift Up This Dream of Yours" and "If You Search For That Feeling". Unfortunately it can only output in Japanese, so I don't imagine it's very interesting to a general audience. Even the experts haven't cracked the technology for randomly generating anime stories yet, though. Give it another few years.

You can't do overpowered bullshit with it, everyone assumes you're blind, they keep calling you 'that bakugan guy', you look through a wall and accidentally see Jiraiya eating ramen out of a woman's belly button The main benefit is it uses like no loving Chakra and is literally impossible to fool. You cannot hide from the Byakugan whilst within their field of vision and those can get pretty huge. They also have secondary stuff where they can see a bunch of other Chakra stuff, like seals and through Genjutsu. In comparison the Rinnegan can cripple you if you're not careful, as Pein learnt, and the Mangekyo sends you blind from overuse unless you combine your eyes with a close genetic match through unspecified means. Also there is something overpowered you can do with the Byakugan that you can't with the others, which is you can target Chakra points and permanently cripple opponents with a touch, or if you have enough chakra control from extreme distances. If it hadn't been for the fact that Naruto has the fox he would've died or at least permanently lost his ability to be a Ninja in that fight Neji in the Chunin exams. Additionally the Byakugan can kill people by targetting the Chakra point at the heart or brain, which is instantly fatal if done right from my understanding. Admittedly anyone could theoretically learn the techniques but the Byakugan makes them accurate and actually usable on combat. There's something neat about Kisame and Killer Bee by the way. If you hit people with Samehada it actually drains Chakra, which is what it's unique power is. Kisame is great because he's actually an okay guy for a horrifying murderer who looks like a shark. If you had to work with a member of the Akatsuki he's the one you want because he will complete the job and do so whilst ensuring you survive unless your sacrifice is necessary.

So, folks who have watched/read Naruto, how many episodes/chapters did the shark-man spend hiding on Killer Bee's back? Because these games skip swaths of plot, and he fake-died back in UNS2, so I have to imagine that in "real" time, Shark Boy was biding his time shapeshifted into a sword on Killer Bee's back for like six loving months.

Since these later episodes are just a contest of 'who wants to be here less' between you and Hobotron. Sadly, those chains are very thick and neither of you can reach the hacksaw.

Since you asked about this on the bonus episode of the podcast, my blind translation of "Chiccha na Mune no Tokimeki" would be "Throbbing of a Little Heart". I assume the reason you couldn't find that anywhere online is that everyone else was too embarrassed to type something so cutesy.

 UPDATE TIME!   The flames of war are sparking! While every prepares to throw Naruto into a makeshift bunker, the kages prepare to join their armies and Madara has a few more things to take care of before he starts his assault. Let finish off the last bit of Chapter 5 before the Fourth Great Ninja War begins! Characters Introduced This Episode  Kabuto Yakushi Former member of the Hidden Leaf Village, former spy for Sasori, former underling to Orochimaru, currently in works with Madara to start the Fourth Great Ninja War. He injected himself with Orochimaru's DNA and now is a lot more snake than before, including having a snake popping out of his stomach. He's mastered the ability to reanimate and control dead people, which is a major portion of his and Madara's army. Can he scale the rough underground ninja market and become a powerful member of Madara's ranks?  Deidara A former member of the Akatsuki. Talk about a blast from the past! Bursting back onto the scene, Deidara is primed and ready to enact revenge on all those who wronged him before. It seems as though he hasn't lost his spark, still able to battle just as well as he did previously.

UPDATE TIME!   Today, the war against Madara begins in Chapter 6! Gaara calls all nations to overcome their differences in order to take down their common enemy, and things immediately get fired up on the battlefield! It's a battle of wits as two great samurai begin to fight! Oh and some other people too. Characters Introduced This Episode  Sasori A former member of the Akatsuki. Once a puppetmaster, now he's being puppeted around by Kabuto to help spark the Fourth Great Ninja War.  Hanzo A former leader of the Village Hidden in the Rain. As a child, he had a salamander's venom sac implanted in his body to make him poisonous and also immune to poison. He wears the face masks in order to protect others from his poisonous breath. He wields two scythes attached by a chain and was feared for his incredible might before he was killed by Pain. Now he's back, with a vengeance! ...Sort of.

It's worth noting (haha, no it isn't) that that Hanzo guy is the duder who defeated Jiraiya, Tsunade, and snake dick dude when they were young tough sprouts. So Mifune's about as tough as all three of them confirmed.

Does it bother anyone else that Deidra keeps saying "Art is an EXPLOSION" when he should clearly say "Art is a blast"? This is an easy pun and the game just leaves it on the ground. Also the puppet guy looked supremely awkward to play as. And they force you to use him against the obnoxious projectile spam character.

As I recall they were the first team to ever survive a fight against him with no casualties and make him work hard to take them down, so he declared them to be the Legendary three Ninja of Konoha. That's the start of their tale essentially and they were just Genin. For reference he was so deadly that even as the only real Ninja in his land the other Villages wouldn't fight him without a really loving good reason and expected at least 50% casualty rate in a war against him.

So the zombie jutsu brings the corpses back but it also gives them all their memories and personality traits too? Wouldn't that be inconvenient if like, any of these resurrected guys decided to get even remotely uppity? Like, even if it made them subservient, I remember Squarely Circle posted:I'm pretty sure Naruto's author got his knowledge of DNA, poison, genetics, organ transplants, etc. from watching Captain Planet. I was gonna say that he went to the same school as Hideo Kojima. Just replace nanomachines with "eye magic". Ah yes, the rare expansion-fetish-no-jutsu.

They all realize they died and got brought back to life. Hanzo was talking about how he was when he was younger, because he and Mifune fought before.TwoPair posted:So the zombie jutsu brings the corpses back but it also gives them all their memories and personality traits too? Wouldn't that be inconvenient if like, any of these resurrected guys decided to get even remotely uppity? Like, even if it made them subservient, I remember There's an additional part of the resurrection technique to take care of that. The summoner can completely wipe the zombies' personalities whenever they want, turning them directly under the summoner's control, instead of letting them think for themselves. The directly controlled zombies still have all of their jutsu knowledge and combat ability.  This is what Orochimaru did back when he revived the First and Second Hokages waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the Chuunin Exam, to make them fight the Third.

UPDATE TIME!   Today, war rages on! Kakashi is faced with an all-too-familiar foe, and Might Guy must face his greatest enemy: conventional weapons. Will the tides of war turn from our first successful encounter, or do we have it in us to take down our foes? Let's find out in the exciting finale of Chapter 6! Characters Introduced This Episode  Zabuza Momochi One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, also known as the Demon of the Hidden Mist. His strength and ruthlessness in combat gave him a frightening reputation in life, and he was greatly respected for his work as part of the ninja black ops. However, after an unsuccessful attempt on the Mizukage's life, he and several other ninja ran away and became mercenaries. It was during this time that he fought, and eventually died at the hands of, Kakashi's Team 7.  Haku A partner ninja with Zabuza. After Zabuza took him in as a young orphan, Haku was trained to become a great weapon. He had a special bloodline technique that allowed him to combine water and wind magic into ice, which he used mainly in conjunction with his weapon skills as an illusory attack. He devoted himself entirely to Zabuza to give himself a purpose in life, and eventually died protecting him. By the way, if I ever miss a character or term you want explained lemme know! I haven't been keeping up as well with that since I got one of those stupid job things so just say so if you want some cool ninja bullshit explained.

So wait isn't Zabuza's sword with that water guy who was hanging out with Sasuke? How does Zabuza have it? Or is that just a copy? It must be because, I mean, Zabuza sword cannot be beat! i'm not sorry for linking that Chorps are you gonna go back and ChorpSaway posted:By the way, if I ever miss a character or term you want explained lemme know! I haven't been keeping up as well with that since I got one of those stupid job things so just say so if you want some cool ninja bullshit explained. I demand an answer to my dumb question from earlier: I know the games heavily abridge the series, so exactly how long in the manga/anime was Kisame just loving pretending to be a sword on Killer Bee's back?

He was like, the first threatening ninja of before Shippuden, why are we giving all this attention to this guy Kakashi could beat with little issue even way back then? Also, Jesus Christ, people in this game talk like they're giving a confession in the first Assassin's Creed or something.

It must be because, I mean, Zabuza sword cannot be beat! i'm not sorry for linking that I can't tell you what happened with Zabuza's sword, I don't remember if that's ever justified. I think the idea is that Sasuke still leads what's left of his Taka squad so he may have asked or demanded he pass the sword back to Zabuza. Kisame's sword isn't there so they clearly know some swords are gone but maybe it was just for dramatics. Maybe it's a replica. Also I literally can't play that mission. It will never let me play that mission. I don't have any choice in what happens during this war sequence, the war room stuff is a ruse to make you think there are choices. I think that fight got the same treatment in the source. Kisame pretended to be dead and a sword from the end of episode 207 to the beginning of episode 250. It's something like 35 chapters in the manga.
