Yeah, I actually do know that. I know he's a dolt. I guess I should just take it easy lol.

He said he was the last in his class when he was a kid. I do feel for him.

No one is slow IANCE. That's like saying humans are more evolved than other animals. There's differences, differences caused by social circumstances that some people like you seem unable to understand. Differences that cause cultural clashes and mutual hostility. For each "WTF Japan" post on the english part of the Internet(I do remember you saying you're from Argentina,aren't you?) there's a racist post on 2chan but, to me, they are equally wrong.

Hm, no, Japan is and has always been quite slow to adopt progress in terms of society and culture.

Just because it is explainable through their circumstances does not make it any less true. Furthermore, yeah, racists exist. So... what is your point?

Japan can be quite xenophobic as well.

A lot of Japanese companies will simply ignore their Western audiences in favor of Japanese customers (looking at you From Software)....which I guess is "fair", but it's still kind of frustrating.

Hell, I play Fate Grand Order. If Delight Works learns that you are not, in fact, Japanese, they will plainly ignore you, even though opening their game to western audiences could make them tons of moolah. Even more importantly, it would bring in U$S without them having to lose money from the exchange rate so they can do international trading as well.

Well this thread seems kind of dead as of late.

Wish we had some news on Boruto or something.

That's an easy one. Itachi wins and Minato repents of ever having opposed him.

[up]You can make it trickier, though:

What if that fight wasn't written by Kishimoto?

He has access to the stuff that he could logically have access to rather than being able to do anything he needs to do whenever he needs to do it.

The fight is not written by Kishimoto at all, so yeah, none of that.

[up][up][up]

Minato went from mostly a no nonsense fighter that was so dangerous, that the bingo book of other nations had a DO NOT ENGAGE THIS MOTHER****** RUN LIKE HELL order.

to basically a bigger more blowhard PT 1 Naruto

Now you could argue that like with Kushina, Kishi in his habit of making the same three characters over and over and over so you have symbolic overlap.

He simply forgot that Minato is suppose to be nothing like Naruto, and Naruto takes after his mother and went with the Minato = Naruto, Kushina = Sakura imagery cause Kishi basically collapsed under his own parallel motif

Minato spends most the ninja war being made to look like an idiot and is seen as that obnoxious doofus by the other Kage. Minato's also this big gloryhound trying to loudly announce his jutsu overly long names.

Now you could again argue that this was done to give Tobirama something other then being the cold blooded one you're suppose to disagree with, by making him the no nonsense warp character to his loud and over the top/showy brother Hashirama

So Minato basically had his original traits aped by other characters who kinda needed them

Your Mileage May Vary on whether DxD is good, merely decent or, as I see it, dumb but knows it's dumb so it's enjoyable.

To comment on Itachi v. Minato:

If it were written by Kishi, Itachi undoubtedly win, way too much of a creator's pet for him not to.

If it were written by anyone else? That just depends on whomever that person is a larger fanboy for; Itachi or Minato.

That's a pretty infamous match-up on the Naruto forums. That, and Tsunade vs Kakashi garnered a lot of salt.
