Naruto

Well War Arc Kakashi was a whole different animal. Was it ever explained how he could suddenly spam MS?

But yeah I agree with everything you said.

Wasn't Kurama constantly recharging him? Also he still mostly fell over from overuse.

That's better than using it a few times killing him which happened in the Pain Arc. Pain didn't kill him, he killed himself from one last Kamui use. He had like three uses or something and then died.

This is why Orochimaru wanted an Uchiha body I thought.Nobody else can use a Sharingan as well as an Uchiha as they alone possess the stamina.

It's pretty obvious why Orochimaru wanted an Uchiha....Sharingan + Hashirama cells? As far as his research showed, he was after the Rinnegan.

Probably, but that's a much later development and early in the series it seemed to be purely for the Sharingan and wielding it effectively.

Yeah, that. I mainly use Part 1 logic since that is what I'm most familiar with. I can't even remember when it's revealed Oro knew all about the Rinnegan. I might not have even gotten that far in the series.

Oro was the best in Part 1. Loved him so much. So many fond memories.

I did like that nice bit of retconning which added more substance as to why Oro wanted Kimmimaro since the Kaguya Clan are also descendants of....well Kaguya.

It's not really a retcon. Orochimaru always wanted knowledge and to know all Jutsu. And both Sharingan and Rinnegan give exactly that. Through Danzo we learn that he sought a power beyond Senju and Uchiha, and we learn through Kabuto that he was also researching how Madara survived. All of which fits established motives in Part 1.

As to Kakashi, he got several recharges. He even notes that Kurama's chakra allows him more powerful Kamui moves, such as using Kamui on a fully formed Eight Tails. Before Kakashi fights Obito he is recharged by Kurama once more.

which episode is this from

Edited by AbrahamOmosun on Feb 25th 2020 at 5:31:59 AM

Time Travel arc, I forgot which episode but I think its one of the 130-136 episodes.

You know when fans asked the Boruto-peeps to give Sasuke and Sakura more moments together, they meant adult Sasuke and adult Sakura not 13 year old Sakura and Adult Sasuke.

Boruto moar like Hugtto!

...Nobody will get this joke. I am sad.

I got that reference.

Yay! You are so awesome.

Except I actually liked Huggto more than later Naruto.

I know, its knowing the joke that's important!

...wait you DID get the joke, did you? I mean

both Sasuke and George travel back in time and meet their 13 year old wives.

Sweet Home Alabama.

Although the show didn't explicitly state that George is Hana's future husband, it's blatant he is.

To be fair they dont marry them then or do anything actually inapropiate...

Which is good. And both had sympathetic reasons for time traveling. Though George cheating on Papple was all kinds of messed up.

Hugtto was pretty gutsy on hindsight. From actually letting Homare's crush arc be concluded to that her friend whose name I can't remember.

Now if only it had been focused and we'll animated all the way through, it would have been great

I dont remember the animation becoming lacking at any point. It was the writing that got safer and less risk taking later on.

Is intersting that in the boss rush(because that is what it naruto end is) obito is the lass flashy of the bunch, he only have is pseudo intangability and that huge golem.

Maybe is why I like him, he feel diferent from country buster enemies like madara.

Granted I like madara but in a stupid, rule of cool way.

Btw I can't remember but when exactly did the escalation that led to stuff like madara first appear. Was it a slow burn thing that you didn't notice till it was in your face or was their some point in the story you can point to as the point of no return

I've said it before, but Biju being nukes are really the source of the inevitable serial escalation. The story relies on a whole bunch of people being able to deal with nukes, and people who (For story reasons) scale off those people have to deal with nukes, etc. Even mere villages had to be capable of dealing with nukes with their Jinchuriki in stead of "merely" a very powerful demon.

As to a "point of no return", Edo Madara's appearance just broke me. It's really a moment where you just have to go "fuck the rules, might as well go nuts and have fun".
