for all the bad of naruto's climax, the fact that naruto's "ultimate jutsu" is the return of his harem jutsu is the greatest thing

Naruto actually has multiple tiers of sexy jutsu believe it or not, including one in which he turns into a hot dude instead of a lady

edit: The hot dude one also works iirc

It does work but sadly is not actually the last jutsu

He uses his final sexy jutsu on Kaguya, right?

I do admit that was sorta cool because at that point Kaguya had revealed that her motivation was that men didn't love her enough. Also Sai is on that jutsu for some reason.

The final boss is silent and stoic from the moment she appears, and the Harem No Jutsu just comes out of loving nowhere and her face perfectly mirrors your own. It was the best thing to happen in the last 100 chapters of the series.

I like her motivation because it shows how awful Kishimoto is. She shows up out of nowhere, is the only female villain and her motivation is that her two 'sons' didn't love her enough and after going on and on about why she's doing poo poo she ends up not really saying poo poo ever again and instead some black goo talks for her. On top of that her powers are changing the background every other chapter and utterly fail to kill anyone.

She's such an awful "character." :allears: Back when we thought it couldn't get worse than Madara.

For context sake, just imagine half a year of the most nothing fight ever and revelations that are out of nowhere and don't matter at all

I dunno, the final boss of Naruto being defeated by fanservice sounds like a redemption arc for that series.

To be fair, she gets beaten when Sakura is allowed her first decent moment since she exploded Sasori by flying in from above and punching her in the head.

His fight lasts like 3 chapters and is nowhere as climactic as the fight with Kaguya or even his fight at the end of Part 1

PS: my stating of the Kaguya fight being climactic does not mean it's a good climax it is more like an elongated fart continuing from a really bad series of short ones

Which only happened because Kaguya, the being of infinite chakra, couldn't use a transportation jutsu fast enough apparently.

Yup, they finally defeated the huge evil from outer space and Sasuke goes "well, I got super god powers out of all this, gotta kill Naruto so i'm literally unstoppable."

That stupid Sarada miniseries was pretty (unintentionally) funny. That's already miles above the final arc of Naruto.

It became bad and kept being bad

There's no specific event, it was just a long stream of garbage for several years leading to one of the most garbage endings

You know how in Yakuza there's always another mastermind and every plan has 5 layers?

Imagine that, but stretched out for 15 years, with a new layer each chapter, such that the final villain is manipulating all the others over numerous generations in order to enact a literally cosmic scale plan.

Also each successive mastermind is a worse character with a more stupid goal.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I always thought the quality of Naruto depended on the story arc because yes there were long stretches of total garbage but every so often there was a cool fight or some neat character development. It rarely ever got as good as anything pre-Timeskip but I still enjoyed reading it from time to time.
