Blake Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 They're Marsuvees Black's 3 main novels, though he appears and/or influences at least 4 others, and he barely appears in [i]Saint[/i]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND I WAS LIKE "f*** YOU, I'M KUBO!" SO THEY WERE LIKE "WELL HOW ABOUT YOU CUT SOMEONE'S LEG OFF FOR A CHANGE?" AND I WAS LIKE "f*** YOU, I'M KUBO!" AND I MADE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY. I LOVE MY LIFE.

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 [quote name='Aa'une' timestamp='1352517192' post='6065323'] I haven't read any sort of manga in soooooooooooo long.. I really need to get updated on Naruto.. Last i read.. I believe Kisame's death.. [/quote] Boy are you in for a surprise. Assuming the internet hasn't spoiled it for you already. Still, some pretty awesome action-sh*t's going down, you'll love it. I really wonder what kind of manga Kubo will work on next, if he does do something else. Will it still have lots of empty panels and usage of the same tropes, or you think maybe he'll learn from his mistakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, because we're all onto him now =P The only reason he's still doing well is because he's piggybacking on the fanbase acquired from the first 3rd or so that's still sticking around to reach at least some form of closure. Once he does something new, if he keeps on with this sh*t, he'll get cancelled faster than Minato on crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It takes away from Minato's special teleportation abilities is all Knowing that two more no names got added to the mix significantly drags down the rarity of the ability.

Blake Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 ... No names who were directly connected to the man who used that ability, and each of them needed the other 2 to perform it correctly due to thedifficulty of the technique. That makes it MORE amazing.

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 He's right, it makes Minato look even more awesome because he can do something easily that 3 normal shinobi have to struggle doing with all their focus. And jutsus don't remain rare for long, they're meant to be passed down to the next generation of ninja to make use of. Like Rasengan and Chidori.

Spirit of DMG Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Chidori: Kalashnikov figures it out all by himself, then teaches it it Sasuke, the revenge obsessed, self centered emo kid, for some reason. Then Sasuke creates an entire move-set based around it. Rasengan: 4th figures it out all by himself, then I'm guessing he taught it to Jiraiya, the toad obssesses Pervert of a sage. Pervy Sage then teaches it to Naruto, the Sasuke obssessed, overly ambitious, hyperactive kid, for some reason. He then makes a giant rasengan, and the Rasenshuriken, and who knows how long it'll be before he makes more variations of it. These Jutsu are spreading like wildfire, aren't they? I wouldve gone with the crossover reference to lightning bending or metal bending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Reason for teaching Sasuke was because he had the Sharingan. Without it, it's hard to discern your surroundings while moving at the high speeds necessary to use the Chidori at its full potential, so an enemy could catch you off guard. And believe it or not, someone else learns Rasengan a little later on =P Tsunade's style of fighting was also passed onto Sakura. See Remo, everyone mooches off the previous generation, it's a vicious cycle >3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 This wasn't a jutsu taught to the previous generation, it was special only for the 4th and possible for Lord Second as well It felt wrong to know more people could use it, inefficiency notwithstanding.

[/quote] But so was Rasengan. Minato didn't teach it to him, Jiraiya decided to teach himself after seeing Minato do it :S Look at it this way, Naruto's main attacks are Shadow Clones, Rasengan, and the occasional Summoning, right? But Naruto isn't the only one that can make Shadow Clones, do the Rasengan, or even summon toads. Sasuke is also not the only one that can use Fire Style, Chidori, or even Amaterasu and Susanoo. There's barely any character who has one jutsu beholden to him. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Gaara, but sand control's an attribute of all of Shukaku's hosts iirc, and I guess Shisui with Koto Amatsukami, but Mangekyo's supposed to be unique to the shinobi.

[/quote] Yes but those are [b]important[/b] characters who use those abilities. Jiraiya was a VERY important character Those guards seemed only important [b]for that single moment[/b] and weren't very important at all ever again. If that isn't a Kubo move then I don't don't know what is. Now, if that turned into a tradition of teaching the Hokages guards Flying Thunder God and it became a signature of the highest of the Anbu Black Ops, then everything you and Black just said would be alright.

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I dunno. I personally think it's alright considering they were his main guards, but I see where you're coming from. Agree to disagree. On a side note, I think Kakashi might be worming his way into my 2nd favorite character slot with all that's happened .-.
