RTN was released in July, so I'd be on the lookout for the subbed version sometime around Christmas. What about that Sora arc? It was alright, but not too great...it also begged the question exactly WHEN everyone else in Naruto's grade found out he was the 9-Tailed Jinchuriki.

Kakashi Hatake Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 [quote name='Fusion X. Denver' timestamp='1349304100' post='6037324'] There's no way in hell he [i]wanted[/i] to do it, but I could see him going through with it if he [i]had[/i] to do it. Like for the greater good or what not. If you remember Obito saying why he didn't return, it was because he told Kakashi "You let Rin die." I'm thinking that means the way Obito saw things, Kakashi could have found a way to save Rin and accomplish whatever the mission they were on was without killing her, but that's all I can think of from the available details. Maybe it was out of his control, but I think Obito would have understood it wasn't really his fault in that scenario, which is why I'm remaining skeptical. The Walking Dead's also an awesome show. I need to finish the 2nd season before the 3rd goes on-air. [/quote] Ma, I just can't figure out the Rin situation. Maybe she wasn't Rin. (she most likely was because Kakashi was crying) It could be that the "test bodies from the Mist" or whatever could have all been Rins. Maybe Rin was kidnapped previously and replaced so that Madara could make copies of her. It all could have been an ellaborate plan hatched by Orochimaru and Madara. It could have been Genjutsu, which I doubt. I could have been an accident. Maybe whoever translated Tobi as saying, "You let Rin die." translated wrong. Maybe it actually said, "Because you killed Rin." That would change everything... well, a lot anyway. The Walking Dead Season 3 comes early October so probably around the 15th. I wish they'd try to focus less on character development in that show. :T [quote name='Mr.WHAM' timestamp='1349308900' post='6037356'] I want to watch it for the one episode where a kunoichi ass Naruo for a kiss.

I doubt it was a mistranslation. If he stated that, that'd kill the suspense intended to be paired with that moment where he stabbed her. Maybe, though the graphic novel does a pretty good job of balancing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.WHAM Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have no idea what happens during the arc, just anted to watch it and If this was a mind screw, it was well worth it and Naruto just stepped up a class in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Naruto's just doing really well overall right now. I have this thing where I look at all of the Shonen Jump series I'm currently reading and compare the chapters that come out each week to each other and see which one was the most interesting. For the past few months, it's been mostly Naruto with a few One Pieces, couple Beelzebubs and a couple Torikos. All the SJ series are in a good spot right now, save for Bleach. Though for the rut it's in, it could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'm looking up Naruto couples on DeviantArt, and there are some surprising ones.

Phantom Roxas Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 That's because Fairy Tail is published in Shonen Magazine, not Shonen Jump, which is a very common misconception because it's quite similar in nature to the Big Three. Liar Game is also really fun, but it's published in Weekly Young Jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've seen my fair share of ShinoHana, though ShinoTen seems to be the most popular Shino pairing. Yeah, though it might make more sense to just lump any of the weekly series I'm reading into it.

[/quote] Ah figures it'd exist already. Oh well. I'm listening to their "How We'd Fix Naruto" right now, I chuckled at their disclaimer.[spoiler=I want to reply to some of the points covered in their broadcast] 1. Villains aren't as good as the series goes on. They mentioned during pre-timeskip that the main villains of each arc were clearly defined, like Zabuza was the main for the first and Gaara was the main for the Chunin Exams and that they liked that setup whereas in Shippuden it just kinda keeps going. And they don't really like how Madara (as in Obito) made himself into the overarching villain. I kinda think that's just more a personal opinion than it being a flaw. I can [i]definitely[/i] agree that Pain wasn't handled well before dying at the end there, but other than that I'd say the villains each had as big a mark as they could get and too much attention placed on each of them would most likely cause the story to drag a bit. 2. Side characters being neglected. I'll agree with them here. Side characters get no love in Shippuden, aside from Team 10, but even then they could use more screen time. I think it'd be less of a problem if Team Guy had more time to show how they changed in the Gaara mission and if Team 8 got to actually DO stuff when they looked for Sasuke. I got really excited for Shino vs Tobi like Chris did, but then nothing happened. 3. Sasuke sucks. To quote Chris, "I WANT to defend him, but I CAN'T. I [i]really [/i]CAN'T." Rather than taking revenge on the Leaf and focusing on being lost to hatred, Sasuke could've done better as an ambivalent antihero doing his own thing. If he had JUST focused on killing the 3 elders, I'd say his vendetta would make much more sense and not as contrived.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~NOiSE~ Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I kinda feel like Sasuke may be reconsidering things after seeing Itachi again. I might be way off, but I kind of got the vibe that he was starting question his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasuke still told him directly that he would continue his goal to destroy the Leaf because that was the path he willingly chose for himself. I think at the very least Itachi set him up for Naruto's Jesustalk-no-Jutsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well, in Sasuke's case, he WAS mindf*cked pretty badly And then after learning the truth about Itachi, he might have just snapped and combined the anger he had about the Uchiha massacre with the obvious sympathy he had for his bro. I can easily see why he was so mad at everything. He just didn't know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what if it went on for a few chapters, that was a big and welcome twist, plus it's the main reason a lot of people love Itachi. The main reason Sasuke doesn't make sense is because he knew and understood WHY Itachi did what he did. Itachi loved the village and killed his clan to prevent a civil war, which would have resulted in lots of innocent lives lost. The whole clan (except Sasuke) was in on it, so they were properly accounted for. But Sasuke decides to make Itachi throwing his life away [i]pointless[/i] by going to kill the innocent lives Itachi sought to protect and to put himself in harm's way after Itachi ensured he'd be able to live his life.

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 If there was a time to kill Kakashi, it was with Pain. It'd be redundant and nowhere near as impactful if he died again during this fight. He could have had Kakashi not die against Pain and save his death for this fight, which would work well, but now it's better he stays alive and overcomes this last obstacle by facing his former best friend. Besides, I love Kakashi. I want him to have a happy end. @Jester-Yeah, all that's left for his character is a death of redemption. Or he comes through during the final battle and rather than executing him, he's just given a life sentence in prison where Naruto, Sakura and other people visit him regularly.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 [spoiler "Spoilers containing recent manga reveal"] If Kakashi died during the Pain arc, the whole Obito reveal would be near meaningless. Sure he can still complain about Kakashi's failure, but one the whole, it wouldn't mean much anymore since Kakashi can't revisit the whole situation and/or deal with the mindfnck that his best friend, whom he's been paying homage to since the first episode (the whole lateness thing as well visiting the memorial. Or being late BECAUSE of the memorial. Both really). It was kinda of awkward, and I would've avoided the whole death all together looking back, but while killing Kakashi during the Pain Attack might have been beneficial then, it certainly would ruin things later on.
