YMMV / Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel

Go To

  • Ass Pull: Gaara revealing he has an anti-lightning jutsu whose workings are a bit head-scratching (as it involves channeling electricity through sand) when he is fighting a lightning user.
  • Complete Monster: The greedy Haido seeks the titular Stone of Gelel, having attacked Temujin's village for it, personally killing the latter's parents in the massacre. Sparing the children for the use he saw in them, Haido made Temujin his apprentice while having the others put their souls in suits of armor and turning them into his unquestioning soldiers. Haido uses his brainwashed army to assault the Land of Wind for the Stone, and upon reaching the Mines of Gelel, Haido begins an all-out slaughter, and even mocks Temujin when he realizes Haido was responsible for his parents' death. Transforming to kill his enemies, Haido proclaims that with the Stone in his possession he will enslave the entire world.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: While many people usually tend to ignore all the movies except for the first one, this one seems to be the most unpopular of them all, among other things for how un-Naruto-y their elements feel.
  • Moral Event Horizon: Haido, when he's revealed to be the murderer of Temujin's parents and laughs at how Temujin had been so loyal to him while being in the dark.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Many people were frustrated that the first appearance of Gaara and Kankuro in a movie was in such a lackluster one. The fact that it became their only movie appearance (except by a one-scene cameo by Gaara in Naruto Shippuden the Movie: Inheritors of the Will of Fire, but only that) in a collection of ten films is still bitter for their fans. Hell, Temari doesn't appear period, not even a throwaway line to explain her absence here.
