Shoot....good point.
- Madara vs Aizen...well I'm still waiting for that One Minute Melee continuation, but let's see what they were gonna bring.
- What the hell is Aizen's bankai? Seriously, we never got answers as to what it was nor the reason why ne never used it.
- No bar about "If you were in the Leaf you couldn't be a Hokage, I'll slaughter you worse than I did the five Kage"
- Murasama>Ginei>new 3rd Division Amagai>Kiraya
- One lost to Unabara, the other lost to their own follower. Damn.
- "Your power is Genjutsu, we learned that as kids" I don't know how to feel about this line.
Apparently, there was a article on cbr about 10 Things Sakura could do that Naruto and Sasuke couldn't and one of them was "can talk to her parents," and I was laughing.
On all these Boruto videos lately I keep see people arguing about whether or not they enjoyed part 1 more than part 2 or vice versa. Personally I believe part 1 and 2 have an equal balance of pros and cons, but that's just me. You guys?
"After adapting Dragon Ball into a sprawling, open-world JRPG with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Cyber Connect 2 should give Naruto the same treatment."
- Honestly, given how the Urashiki/Time Travel arc in Boruto went, , I'd love to have a Naruto/Boruto open world game where we get to roam through all the villages....like the Broken Bond...but across the whole Ninja World: the Leaf, Sand, Iron, Cloud, Rice Fields/Sound, Mist, Rain, Grass/The Hozuki Castle, Waterfall, and they could have a time travel gimmick where you can play from the events of Naruto, Boruto, and flashback moments from the time of the First Three Wars.
I'd like to think that because his shikai hypnotizes other people, his bankai is self-hypnosis. It's how he has such insane resolve/can manipulate the Hogyoku and is why he never used it on anyone when he logically should have - like in his fight against Ichigo for example.

When New Team 7 has a clearer bond over old Team 7
anyway...you know what the movies don't get credit for...
Making Sakura look Competent
Maybe its the fact that due to filler villains = don't count as kills

Yeah, New Team 7 benefits from a lot of time befriending and actually having time to actually work together before they were genin and after the Chunin Exams. And having a couple more missions together.
Looking back on part 1, we don't really get a lot of team fights. Outside of the Land of Waves arc and the Forest of Death between the Rookie 11 and Team Dosu, not to many.
Oh yeah, Sakura's freaking crazy in these movies...except the second ones or the ones she played barely any part in like 4-5.
- Movie 1: Sakura Blizzard which she used alongside Sasuke to blow up two of the Terrible Trio.
- Movie 3 fight where she legit one shotted her opponent
- Road to Ninja: Sakura actually putting up a better fight against Menma than Naruto did.
Pierrot really felt like they wanted to put the care for her Kishimoto couldn't. No wonder Ukyo held them up in such high regards.
Role Model
Even outside of combat, Sakura was definitely MVP of the supporting characters in "The Last" (supporting characters in that story, not in overall Naruto).

Never got that impression. Didn't the anime put a lot of emphasis on Hinata, giving her lots of filler stuff, and entire ending themes to prop her up.

x5 Facts.
x4 And that's why Kankuro has one of my favorite underrated fighting styles in Naruto. Dude broke all of Tsurugi's bones but his neck, double killed Sakon and Ukon, and got the drop on Dedidara and Sasori with the latter's own puppets. It's so damn cool.
So Boruto 169 adapted chapter 25, completely animated by Studio Pierott. They knocked it out of the park.
- Kawaki vs Garo was handled way better than in the manga. The back and forth with Kawaki manipulating his SNT esque limbs and altering/changing up, Garo's Zangief like fighting style taking control, then the Karma activating. The way Garo's VA could go from egotistical psychopathic to frightening and begging for his life was so dope.
- And people were worried Garo's body was going to get censored. To put it bluntly, it wasn't.
- I also like the extra little touches they added.
- Konohamaru using the Chakra Blades to shield Boruto from one of Garo's blast.
- Katasuke's...excitement over Kawaki's unconcious body.
- The artstyle changed to be more like the manga, and while Ikemoto's designs aren't my thing, I do kinda like how it looks animated.
And next episode, they're adding in a few things before Kawaki and Naruto meet, but what they have planned sounds really awesome featuring a certain member of the next Gen I've wanted to see back in action for a while, and I'm here for it.
x3 yeah, but they gave Sakura some moments on her own too. She beat someone in the Twelve Guardian Ninja arcs, they always went overboard giving her more tsundere and comedic moments. Honestly, combine Sakura and Hinata's increased moments, Tenten getting some actual focus, hell, a filler arc dedicated to showing the other Chunin Exams that explored Fu's character before she got caught by the Akatsuki. it felt like they cared to an extent about the girls.

And now I'm reminded that Kankuro has to clean out those puppets afterwards.

Hey it's Yamato's Ultimate Jutsu from Storm 2, except it actually looks good!
Well let's see what people are talking about with Naruto recently online....almost cbr articles, this should be fun.
- Sasuke being equally someone to feel bad for and equally despised for his actions. Nah, we've talked about that before.
- Jutsu with big drawbacks. Oh right, Shadow Clone Jutsu could drain the caster's chakra until they died. Curse Mark low chance of survival. Man, wouldn't it be crazy if Anko got to use hers and went to Stage 2 in a major battle. Well at least Kishimoto remembered to use her, because all women are good for are power ups for men...wait a minute.
- Naruto's 3 year training period barely showed any growth. Okay fair enough, when your biggest feats come from Ultimate Ninja Storm 2's boss battles, Ultimate Ninja 4's Ultimate Jutsu, just the Giant Rasengan, and admittely better taijutsu, yeah, there's going to be problems.
- Hinata arc's always being overshadowed by other people's achievements....debatable.
- I don't hate Kaguya, but would people have not minded if she was also foreshadowed earlier?
- Sakura should've proven herself by winning a battle without any help from anyone....I'm split on this, cuz Naruto emphasizes learning from others to grow stronger. As long as she contributed is what matters in the end.
- You know what movie all Naruto fans forget about? The Second Shippuden movie, Bonds! I completely forgot Shinno was like "yeah, with this movie exclusive power, I could survive using all the gates!?" Honestly, he should've and put Lee in the movie. Let Rock win a solid fight against a Big Bad. I don't care if the movies count as filler, that would've been a major win for Lee. And I wouldn't have to rely on Rock Lee and his Ninja Pals for the Sasuke vs Lee rematch (even though that fight was freaking amazing)
- Speaking of the movies, Naruto and Tenten were the ones that finished off the Big Bad and The Dragon at the same time. That's freaking dope.
- Speaking of the third movie, Naruto vs Gaara, the rematch in the third movie is pretty dope. Wish it was canon though.
- Love the scene where Naruto outsped Gaara's sand.
- Anyone else get Tengai Shinsei/Heaven Concealed and Chibaku Tensei/Planetary Devasation confused?
- Karma Seal Boruto's going to be in Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker....TOOK THEM LONG ENOUGH TO ADD ANOTHER BORUTO CHARACTER.
- People still debating over whether or not people are allowed to enjoy the Garo vs Kawaki fight. Though PS 360 HD 2 brought up a good point. A lot of people didn't like the Naruto and Sasuke vs Jigen fight even though Jigen exhausted a lot of his energy, so I guess he's hoping Pierrot animates the fight to makes it look more feel like Jigen had to struggle.
- Personally I'm just shock people think the series has bad animation, what happened to praising the Ao fight 3 weeks ago and the Deepa Victor fights in 175?
- What's your favorite sword in Naruto?
- I forgot they made a filler arc to show how the Konoha 11 became Chunin. Seriously wish Shura was canon, he's freaking awesome.
- I forgot in J Stars Victory Vs, Madara can be affected by the meteor he drops. He won't take damage because it's Madara, but it's still freaking hilarious.
- Someone once pointed out to me that a lot of Naruto fights kinda feel boring setting wise, and I was like "why, that's dumb." Then I remembered The Forest of Death, all the fights in chasing down Gaara, The Sasuke Retrival fights, fake Itachi, hunting Deidara down, blowing up the Tenchi bridge connected in two forests, the place the Zombie duo fought in, when Naruto met Tobi for the first time, the first part of the Jinchuriki minus Gaara battle royale. After watching Boruto so much, I kinda forgot. No wonder the war felt dragged on to some people. It was like if Super Sentai and Power Rangers had a 150 episodes back to back where all they did was fight in a quarry.

Bolt episode 190:
- So this is taking place between chapter 25 and 26. In 26 Konohamaru reported to Naruto, Shikamaru, and Sai offscreen about not-Sasuke and Kara-member-that's-obviously spoilers, but here they showed it.
- Geez kid, relax. You get abused by Jigen and you're complaining you wanna get away from him? Enjoy not-prison while you can.
- They showed not-Sasuke's original abusive dad selling him out earlier too.
- Katasuke basically confirmed not-Sasuke has chakra reserves but since he's never been trained to use it, he probably doesn't know it exists. Good foreshadowing for...that.
- Abuse fan-fics are gonna start from this episode.
- "Quit acting like you're tough." Um, Not-Sasuke, Not-Hinata here almost blew up the Leaf Village years before you tried it. She did pretty good, managed to drop him to the floor. And she would've won if he didn't steal some S.N.T.
- "We're both monsters." Technically true, you both were born from abusive monsters.
- Oh shit, blood. Again. Good job you weird Hashirama Cell+Yokai+ Not Tailed Beast Danzo experiment.
- Well if you want to escape as far as you can, you could always try the moon. Wait no, Toneri's still sealed.
Next episode everyone's chasing not-Sasuke down who's suffering The Worf Effect cuz he needs energy, but not-Hinata's going to probably be the first to catch up. Today's ep, not bad tho.
10: Naruto vs Kakuzu, mostly because it's Naruto's first key win against someone he doesn't have a connection with and it should've been Choji and Ino who contributed to taking the win instead of Naruto coming in at the last minute...hmm
9: Guy vs Madara....cuz no one expected Madara to win and came way too late.
8: Shikamaru vs Tayuya....because Temari undercuts the fights and robs Shikmaru...ehh
7: Team Guy vs clones, mostly cuz it didn't give insight to the characters and the first part of Shippuden supposedly was struggling to find the right tone...okay fair.
6: Gaara vs the Second Mizukage.
5: Mifune vs Hanzo. The emotional tension feels forced them imo.
4: Tenten vs Temari....okay I agree with this, the fight needed more exploration.
3: Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori....really? Oh cuz Sakura was used as a living puppet and was objectified......well....
2: Team 7 vs Kaguya
1: Sasuke vs Orochimaru...because Orochimaru didn't have a plan to take Sasuke's body.
Interesting list. This thread is more empty than my life and heart..anyone wanna talk...about anything Naruto Boruto?
Those are some interesting choices, I'll give them that. I don't really have a list of favorite or most disliked Naruto fights.
Still, I though it's obviously personal opinion, I don't think the reasoning of some of these really pan out.
For the first one Choji and Ino were just important enough and it's not like they had a particular emotional connection that would elevate them beating Kakuzu as somehow meaningful. At least Naruto showing the fruits of his training (is supposed to) has meaning.

We could talk about how empty our lives and hearts are...
I don't care to talk about Boruto, and unfortunately that limits what is left to talk about for Naruto.

Do you think Urashiki & Kinshiki had Karma vessels prepared when they died and will return?
Kinshiki seemed to be pretty chill with being absorbed by Momoshiki which would make sense if he had a backup body.
Urashiki was killed in the past so I'm not sure if he could be revived if his karma vessel was in the future.
They call me.... Prophet
I doubt it. Momoshiki did not seem to have a Karma until Boruto. I also do not think Kinshiki would revive if eaten by a superior.
Would you say that Naruto Jumped the Shark? If so, at what point?
Gaara's sand is actual sand, it's not an elemental jutsu.
