Teek posted:Chapter 17 is now out. I guess this is one way to deal with an organization that seemingly came out of nowhere, start staffing it with people who we *kind of* know already. Ao was never really a name commodity, as he was a minor player in the war. And he seemingly was killed with Shikaku off screen. This finally begins to sketch in certain potential aspects of where the plot may go though, if this is old guard ninja who potentially aren't exactly thrilled by Naruto's new world. Boruto and his Team really are the best bodyguards. The didn't even notice the huge cloaked guy right behind the guy they were protecting.

Mraagvpeine posted:With chakra you don't have to worry about lugging ammo around or running out of it. Granted you'd need to be careful of how much chakra you're using, but as an expert ninja Ao can probably control the amount he puts in. I suppose that's true, but scrolls of holding exist. Fun part is that if they would combine those it would make Tenten even more useless. Great, you can throw weapons really accurate, let me just try this minigun.

rndmnmbr posted:After watching way more Shippuden than I intended to, I have to say that I appreciate the fact that Naruto is both the well-deserved village hero and the village idiot, at the same time, until the very end. And considering how he treats his family in Boruto... well, his son is giving him a run for the money, but Naruto still holds the village idiot all-time championship belt by a comfortable margin. Which is fine, because White Zetsu's aren't human and Orochimaru is a cool guy.

For the Manga readers: Is it me, or is the fight with Delta the most boring fight in borito/Naruto ever. It doesn't feel fast and the strategy they refer to is invisible to us. It doesn't help that it feels like their are no stakes.

Hypocrisy posted:I've liked it so far. Naruto getting gored through the stomach, hoping to trick Delta into giving up information was pretty great and I've been liking Delta's Juugo-esque ninja-tech. Nah, Naruto playing possum was awesome and really felt like it fell in line with everything else we've seen the mangaka do so far. Like you I liked the fights the kids had as well as most were solved with smart strategies. Naruto getting stabbed and pretending to be seriously hurt was awesome. I'm referring mostly to this chapter. They were trading attacks to get some distance (as per Kawaki). Which didn't work because she still got Himawari in a second. So we just spent 20 pages on nothing. It's also highly unlikely that Naruto will die against Delta at this point in time. If it happens Kashin would likely first have to show up as he didn't think Delta would be able to beat him. Or at least that's how I interpreted his comments. Now, with her absorbing the vanishing Rasengan she might kill him with that move next chapter. That art has been bad, but the manga itself is much better than expected. It's just this chapter which felt really empty to me.

If the clone poofs after pooping, does the poop poof as well? Manga I didn't need a recap about Naruto. But the second ten tails looks interesting. So is it safe to assume kama is a way for Otsusiki to reincarnate or something?

Hypocrisy posted:Here's a link to the Viz Boruto Chapter 37 for those interested. Chapter spoilers, don't read this anime watchers. Yeah, Jigen has been strangely likeable despite so far being pretty flat. His fake cordiality at the beginning and simply not bothering with Naruto and dumping him in nowhere have been great. I also appreciate the fake out with the rods. My first thought was that they were those black chakra rods from the Rinnegan. Except somehow Karma was giving that to Jigen. Nope, they're just a bunch of needles which he can increase in size. I wasn't looking forward to the Jigen fight, because I assumed he would kill Naruto and Sasuke easily with some hacks abilities. But them so easily recognizing his abilities and using his abilities against him threw a wrench in that. So I'm oddly looking forward against round 2 against horned Jigen. Even if so far Naruto's MO is ball -> bigger ball -> giant ball I didn't much like the fight against Delta, but the fight against Ao and this fight are pretty good relying more on strategy. Reminding me more of early Naruto. I really hope that this Mangaka manages to stay away from escalating eyehacks and Jesus destinies and keeps this up. The cold open suggested otherwise, but this is giving me hope.

Analytic Engine posted:After Naruto ended I've been dipping in and out of Boruto, and it seems surprisingly self-sustaining. I'm old-man-comfortable with 12 year olds absorbing this like I did Naruto in US Shonen Jump. That's the biggest problem yes. The end of Naruto had huge power creep, then Boruto started and they really toned things back down in the beginning. Unfortunately we're well back at the level of infinitely regenerating enemies, body hacks, big gently caress off Kamehameha's etc. It's a really shame because, while the manga is hideous to look at, it's had some real good fights using strategy.

Teek posted:Aside from the internal Kara politics, none of that seemed surprising. Surely Shikamaru and the other ninja world big brains could have surmised all the aliens/parallel reality, Juubi and chakra fruit information from the Fourth Shinobi War and the follow up invasion events already? I mean they're not acting that surprised, but I'm not sure why Amado would think he was dropping bombs there. I'd love to see Orochimaru be relevant, but I just don't see that happening at all.  People think he's Jiraiya thanks to the eye markings under the mask, the white hair, the big use of frogs and fact that he could enter Konoha without being detected because they know his Chakra signature. But Jiraiya was a burly man, not nearly as lean as Kashin. Still, stuff like this makes me think he might be it.

There's no way that Orochimaru is directly involved in this clone/resurrection or whatever Koji is. They may have used some of his research, but Orochimaru is such a non role in the story of ninja science there's just no way that they'll suddenly make him relevant again. Though having not-Jirayja meet Mitsuki should at least be pretty funny.

I've been Reading through Naruto on Manga plus as it's released, as I never read all of it. But man this Manga is really fond of making GBS threads the bed. They're at the whole Naruto meets Kushina part. It's so weird. Dad apparently just on the fly invented a way to implant someone's memories and character into someone else. Okay, I can live with that. But then the way how it's dead set on undoing the entire "hard work pays off" message. Yes Naruto. You worked really hard to get where you are, however you have a predicted destiny and you're the "secret" son of one of the greatest Hokage ever. Also You're a part of the Uzumaki clan. You have unnaturally large amount of extra strong Chakra in addition to the the Nine tails. Speaking off that whole the seal breaks when the female Jinchuriki gives birth. I have an idea, let's keep seeing it in female Uzumaki clan members.  It's like...why?It does remind me though, how exactly does reincarnation work when Edo Tensei exists. Indra and the other son kept on being reincarnated right?

TheHan posted:I think the idea there is that only Indra and Asura reincarnate, due to their grudge. That's implied yes, but then how does Edo Tensei work when you summon the previous incarnations? I suppose if it's just the Will like Dexo said, that would make a difference. Dexo posted:It's part of the Shiki Fujin(sp?) That thing the Third and Fourth did. It involves pulling the soul out of the body. And you can either seal that soul somewhere else, or feed it to the Shinigami. But the Shinigami takes your soul as a condition of using the technique. Lord_Magmar posted:Also the seal doesn’t break when giving birth, it weakens because the chakra system of the mother changes as part of creating/birthing the child. Like how nutrients/blood works in real life just with ninja energy. I imagine this normally isn’t actually an issue. The choice in Kushina was made while the Uzumaki (Uzushio) clan was probably still alive. Time frame is a little vague, but Kushina mentions that she was chosen and moved to Konoha when she was still young and only later on found out it was to be the Jinchuuriki. The first Jinchuuriki was also a woman and according to Naruto's mom that means that it was tradition. I'll just chalk that up to his mom not being that bright, because they keep referring to the Mito (the first) as being the one before her. So that would've made it a tradition of 2 women including Kushina. They literally say that when Mito gave birth the seal almost broke. The seal weakens during pregnancy and has the possibility to break during child birth. Obito just helped it along a little. Link They knew the risk, yet still put it into a woman. Hell, Minato is shown to be struggling to keep the Nine Tails contained during the birth.

Might Guy is such a well done character, at least in the slow build up he gets. He's introduced as a goof, but as the story progresses he just keeps showing more tricks and signs that he's really strong. With other characters, even Itachi acknowledging that you should be careful facing him while he's still goofing off. The way the 8th gate is kept until the very end and even if it didn't actually accomplish anything, it didn't feel like a waste at all. Being acknowledged by the most broken character, who only survived because of hax, probably helps a lot there.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:guy's final battle was a really awesome scene, it's just that there was really no place for it. he wasn't the protagonist, or the protagonist's weird stalker who was convinced they were best friends, or even the protagonist's other weird stalker. so, there were limits to what guy could be allowed to accomplish. Thoren posted:It felt like Kishimoto, having previously mentioned the awesome power of the 8th gate, felt the need to include it before the manga's end. Yes exactly. That to me makes it so fascinating how everyone can look at that scene and agree that it was loving awesome. You never hear anyone saying he jobbed to make Madara seem even more broken, I never heard anyone say that they felt like he was worfed and should've been the one to finish Madara. The only thing you tend to read/hear about it, is that he should've died after that showing instead of being saved by Ninja Jesus. Seems like for everything the war arc did wrong, the whole Gai sequence is considered as just plain good. Seeing the invincible and haughty Madara be completely helpless and nearly killed is a good payoff for the hype the 8 gates were getting since all the way back in the Chuunin exams. Just a shame of slog and the switch that came after that...followed by more slog.
