Oh god the horror. I am losing all hope in Naruto. I mean, it's been going slowly downhill but years but it just hit the end of the road and is in free fall now.

The author should just start again from the end of the Chuunin exam.

Completely agree with the bolded, and it always ruins these sort of shows for me. I can understand the "they keep getting stronger!" in a show like DBZ, since they come from accross the galaxy, but when everything exists within a finite continent, it seems absurd that people keep comming out of the wood works which challenge/beat up characters who just beat the "super badass boss noone could stop!"

Apparently Jiraiya would have trouble with a lot of normal henchmen they started running into based on everything that has happened. Also, the older members of Akatsuki are apparently fodder.

Its not even that. DBZ used it core base of characters throughout the entire series. any new characters were somehow directly related to the dbz cast in one way or another. But naruto isn't even about naruto anymore. hell, when was the last time we saw sasuke or sakura?

Anyone else notice that the brothers only have 4 out of 5 of the six path's weapons? I immediately thought of madara's fan as being the the possible 5th, seeing as we have no explanation on it yet.

I'm sure this is going to drag out like 30 issues, and I'll be pissed, and then Orochi will come back and all will be awesome.

This is a very good thing. I do not want to see sasuke until his final battle with Naruto, and even then I want it to end in 2-3 chapters or so. I actually like seeing a lot of high skill level battles instead of the usual "One immortal boss vs 20 heroes". But I do agree that way too many were revived, 10 would be a better number than 50.

Directly from Journey to the West story. All the weapons, even the character names. He didn't even bother changing em. I call plagarism.

Well it was actually decent then 2 things ruined the characters imo:

1.) They were swallowed by the 9 tails, sat in his stomach for 2 weeks and lived. Come the fuck on. The 9 tails is supposed to be so unstoppable that 2 ninjas who DIED survived in his stomach? Something is up with the balance of power here.

2.) They almost killed the Second Hokage in a coup. I swear every time the Second is mentioned he's either a complete badass or a substitute ninja.

I would have been fine with the characters if those 2 tidbits weren't thrown in.

I really didn't like the latest chapter. It felt way out of place. They use some really corny weapons and don't look all that powerful. I expect more kishi

This pretty much sums it up.

Every long running series has some sort of twist/mechanic which is supposed to re-energize the series and bring value to things that happened a long time ago that we thought had no meaning. They choose this one. The problem is it seems to diminish or cast a strange light on everything that has happened up till now.

Having said all of that, this still makes more sense than Bleach. The swings in power in that show makes absoluto-fucking-lutely no sense.

Has anyone noticed that Kishimoto is copying Chinese Mythology?

I mean the gold and silver guy is lifted straight out of the the Monkey King stories...

They have the fan and gourd stuff as well.... not to mention that Monkey King guy that the 3rd Hokage used to have with the staff that turns into different sizes...

Why oh why does he have to go into that kind of crap for naruto??

my grind about the revival of 7 legendary swordsmen, and the twins are okay. but summoning their weapon like Doreamon's 4th dimension pocket is bullshit. These legendary weapon should have already been found, destroyed or wield by other.

For the magic word part, just pretend that's some HxH nen crap, or Bleach's mind trick bankai.

The history of the Ginkaku Kinkaku brothers really ruined it for me...

This manga has gone downhill so bad.

There are a lot of strong new characters being introduced, but to be fair, it doesn't seem any more realistic that every other village is full of scrubs. Each village having 3-4 "strong" ninja doesn't seem too excessive really. I agree that it does cheapen the characters we care about though.

As to what's in the coffin, my theory is maybe madara's body somehow. Of course, this would mean that the madara we see now isn't the real one. Or not, I know it's a stretch.
