Yay new arc, I hope it's just really a tournament and no hidden disaster happening during the tournament, save that for after !

Well, if you think about it, even though Naruto and Luffy are relatively complex, just how far have they gone really? Naruto's entire persona relies on his bromance with Sasuke. He has no real inner conflict with whether it's right leaving Sasuke alive, he's single minded on this and he's a simpleton with everything else. It's not really questioned why Naruto's so intent upon saving this one person even though he's endangering the lives of everyone in his village. His relationship with his dead parents and Jiraya were his other humanizing elements, but again there's no complexity. It would have been more interesting to see how he would react if his parents were actually disappointed in him and how he would have dealt with it, or to see some long lasting effect of seeing his mentor of years die on an away mission and whether it would change his view of death. Nope, nothing complex, just good feelings.

Look at luffy, he's notorious for being a total retard. He had a single chapter of mourning and he goes right back to training. Maybe it can come later, but will Luffy harbor a hatred for the Marines for killing his brother? Doesn't appear so. Has demeanor changed or matured? Nope. The death brought him no lasting effects.

But that's the point of Shonen mangas, they're there for instant gratification, there is no exploration of complex issues. Character do good thing because it's good to do, characters do bad things so they'll be defeated by good characters usually sums up the entire experience.

Try reading mangas like like Berserk or Gantz or Homonculus. Those are mangas for adults.

Remember what had happened in those few chapters with Luffy mourning? Not only did Jimbe bring him back from practically wanting to kill himself, he had realized he could still find happiness among his friends. Of course after those few chapters and two years, he wouldn't be all mopey and sad.
For Naruto, let's put it this way. When Sasuke almost died against Haku, Naruto went crazy with rage. When Jiraya died, Naruto did not go crazy because of how he had changed with Jiraya's teachings, becoming more accepting and understanding.
Both characters have grown slightly, but not in dramatic ways which people could easily see, especially in One Piece's case. Haven't read any of those mangas yet, but planning on reading Gantz soon.
