ssjokg said: Lets hope that Raigun S's director does the next season(s).Since there is enough content to use for 2-4 seasons I doubt he will use any original story.Sister's arc was 15 eps(not counting the Kuroko ep)and it was amazing.In Index it was 4 and not even close to the quality of Railgun.You can say that the manga and novel are different but the new scenes that replaced Index's version and the same scenes that were in Index(the novel, since the Index anime had changes)were done way better. Agreed. Index's Sister Arc is nothing compared to Railguns for me, though they expanded on what exactly went down a lot more too so it feels wrong to compare them for me. Still, if he still has the helm for a few more seasons then that'd be rad. The animation & quality is much greater in Railgun S as well. If we ever get Index III or more Railgun (perhaps an arc dealing with Mental-Out) I'm sure they will look much better then their predecessors. Hakuryuukou said: Well you can blame the director for that, adapting 14 volumes in 2 seasons was insane afterall. Just hope that the next one won't take the old director into index project again. Agreed. I appreciate the work he's done so far, as much as I can anyways. But that series needs a new way of approach. ssjokg said: It would be a problem if they were not telling other people for no reason. They'd need a reason, but I really wish they had one, or that there was an instance where more of the antagonists knew. The fights were what drove the storyline forward but they were inferior to the buildup they got usually. Having Touma dodge a few attacks for a bit then punch someone got very old very fast. Even if they discovered half way more often, that alone would make the fights more varied between the two outcomes that followed. |

Well now(after the AC Invasion arc)everyone in the magic side knows.In AC he is still top secret, with no data about his powers except from some rumors that no antagonist(Unless if they are called Kihara) believes until they see it themselves.All because Aleister wants to Touma to not be classified as an esper. As for his power,it would be great if he could use the power within his right arm but that would require having his right arm cut from his body...in every battle. And about Misaki.The arc right after the Sister's arc in the manga is about her.Just wait for Railgun 3. |

She seems interesting, and very opposite of Misaka. The tension between the two was pretty electrifying too. I remember briefly reading up on some pre-WWIII Index stuff. Mostly discussions though. I hope it's going to be good. |

He mastered every jutsu in the village, and for the whole current battle he has been offscreened, not to mention he is weaker due to Edo Tensei. In the anime Kabuto says that Hashirama is the strongest ninja of all time, but that's never said in the manga: http://i3.mangareader.net/naruto/515/naruto-1515992.jpg However, it IS said that Sarutobi was the strongest Hokage. From that I can conclude that Hiruzen > Hashirama. Even if Hashirama seems strong we don't have enough evidence to say that he is stronger than Sarutobi. |

i'm starting to wonder if people on this thread know the difference btw plothole and asspulls.....i mean just cuz ur a popular shonen does'nt mean u have plotholes. though as a fan of dbz i did realize something though it'snot that releveant and i can't remember if it's filler or in the manga,which is bardock and the saiyans breathing in space even though frieza claimed claimed saiyans can't breathe in space there's also a movie where gohan and piccolo go out to space but that was a movie (filler) |

IntroverTurtle said: Forgetfulness said: There's also the minor inconsistency with Naruto being held back like two times but still graduated with people from his own age that are later seen as always being in the same class as him.I like how when I Google "plotholes in Naruto", a lot of it is full of shit and just "this wasn't foreshadowed" or "this powerup is stupid" I did stumble across a good find though about the timeline of Naruto with regards to Itachi and Orochimaru. It is definitely a legit inconsistency, but still probably not a plothole http://mangahelpers.com/forum/showthread.php/78781-The-biggest-plot-holes-in-Naruto yeah there's the inconsistency of kakashi and his classmates |

Kaimon237 said: Oh yeah, an asspull from Naruto Nagato bringing back literally -everyone- who died during that entire arc because a preachy 16 year old Talk-No-Jutsu'd him. At the very least it's incredibly anti-climatic since all the wham and shock factor from the arc was pretty much rendered moot. Nah, that ending was great and logical.

Code Geass R1 just being a stew of plot conviences and unrealistic decisions by the characters (namely Lelouch) that are utterly contradicting of the character they were/are portrayed to be. Code Geass had a lot of bs/plothole moments for me. Was still a good watch but didn't even remotely live up to the hype I'd heard about it and I came IN prepared to TRY my hardest to give it a 10 and forgive shortcomings. |

He wasn't able to completely dominate Orochimaru so it makes me think that he wasn't that much stronger than Orochimaru to begin with, so Orochimaru should've been able to revive old Hiruzen at full power, especially since he has Hashirama cells now. Old Hiruzen hasn't shown power on the level of the other edo Hokages, except latest chapter, so we can see why old Hiruzen can be revived at full power and not the other Hokages. Also there's the bit with how Kabuto suddenly knows about Tobi when he wasn't in that databook given to Naruto.

One very bullshit thing about Naruto is the Element Strengths, the strength of one particular element, that is. This is how the Elemental weakness and strengths are: Fire: Strong against Wind, Weak against Water. Water: Strong against Fire, Weak against Earth. Earth: Strong against Water, Weak against Lightning. Lightning: Strong against Earth, Weak against Wind. Wind: Strong against Lightning, Weak against Fire. Look at Lightning: Strong against Earth, Weak against Wind. Why? Why is Lightning strong against Earth and not Water? That's just utter bullshit. Actually, I'll tell you why (Spoilers from now, so tread with care): It was purely for the sake of Sasuke vs Naruto. Look at Fire's strength: Wind What is Sasuke's elemental styles? Oh yes, Fire and Lightning. Now what is Lightning weak against? Wind. Great, now what is Naruto's natural affinity? Wind. Well, bloody hell, what a coincidence, eh? Could've have done it just as easily by giving Naruto an affinity for Water and you would've made sense by making Lightning strong against Water. It gets even worse at the Fourth Ninja World War. You're fighting the Third Raikage, who is a master at Lightning style, is nearly invincible and has the ultimate piercing attack (which happens to be a lightning style attack). He's about to use said ultimate attack (albeit a weaker version) and who do you call to create a protective wall? "Earth style users, create a mud wall" ............. -__-. What the FUCK? What makes this even worse is Kishi acknowledges that Wind is strong against Lightning and not Earth. |

What makes this even worse is Kishi acknowledges that Wind is strong against Lightning and not Earth. Kakashi already brought up Sasuke vs Naruto, during the element exposition in that training arc. So, it's not a coincidence. And no it wasn't made for the sake of Naruto vs Sasuke (the element attributes, were not even relevant in the two fights they had). Lighting > Earth was used a lot in other fights (i.e Sasuke vs Deidera) Naruto having a water element wouldn't make sense. They used mud walls because it's a defensive jutsu, they wanted to guard a physical attack, the elements here weren't relevant. The rubber one hold him off a little bit. The Third Raikage is more powerful than the Shinobi that were present on that battlefield, so using Earth or Wind wouldn't have made a difference. In the end he was defeated by By his own finger |

It wasn't Kakashi, but Yamato who explained it to Naruto. To be honest, it's not really the Naruto vs Sasuke thing, but rather why is Lightning strong against Earth and not Water? It doesn't make much sense for Lightning to be stronger against Earth than with Water. That's my problem. Also, funny you mention Sasuke vs Deidara, because it's a perfect fit for this thread. As for the World War thing, I understand that the difference in strength makes creating any sort of defence nigh impossible, but to create an even bigger weakness? There was no real point in it, except for slowing down the Raikage for about millisecond. Also, just for curiosity's sake, why would Naruto having a natural affinity for Water not make sense? |

Ah,Naruto Shipuuden is overall a good series.Im currently watching episode 142 and its getting better and better...but the first arc (Gaaras rescue) was lame IMO.The Elements Strengths isnt bothering me much...the only thing I hate about the Naruto series are actually the fights...they always manage to put a boring and pointless speech in the middle of every epic fight.Why do they always need to explain their moves and attacks? who the hell cares |

Forgetfulness said: yhunata said: I find that highly strange. Water conducts electricity but dirt doesn't.It wasn't Kakashi, but Yamato who explained it to Naruto. To be honest, it's not really the Naruto vs Sasuke thing, but rather why is Lightning strong against Earth and not Water? It doesn't make much sense for Lightning to be stronger against Earth than with Water. That's my problem. Also, funny you mention Sasuke vs Deidara, because it's a perfect fit for this thread. At least, that's what I learned from Pokemon That's the thing. Water conducts electricity, so it makes more sense for Water to be weak against Lightning than Earth. Even more, we later get a guy made out of water who states that his weakness is Lightning element. |

Naruto's been lame ever since Hidan and Kakuzu Well no, Hunt for Itachi was a bit enjoyable because the some of the other Konoha 12 got attention |

No, Naruto only went downhill after the war started. Everything before was fine. It started out very well for me, probably because I went to watch it right after I was done with the prequel, and was excited about Naruto and Sakura's growth, and every other characters. |

Forgetfulness said: The power levels haven't bothered me yet, though we haven't had much all out destruction fights since the start of the war. It's been mostly small skirmishes.

Just...wat Which Hokage? Tsunade? Hiruzen? I think it would be easier to be stronger than them as they are older and we haven't seen much of them in action.

That's the point. They didn't grow, actually Sakura did but Naruto did not. In terms of mindset he was still the same and in terms of power he was still the same. That bell match in the beginning was so much bullshit, it didn't look like Naruto got any stronger or wiser, the moves he showed were the same as always. He beat Kakashi by pretending to spoil a book and Kakashi was like "you guy's have gotten stronger", that does not count as getting stronger. The only move he learned was the bigger rasengan which just gets supersized even larger with no training later and the ability to break genjutsu which doesn't even work. We saw that flashback to his training with Jiraiya about him learning how to break genjutsu and then he fails against Itachi and tries to hit Sakura with a rasengan. He can't control the nine tails power and goes all crazy leaving Kakashi behind and letting the enemy get away, yet is still praised at the end of the arc. It wasn't until later that he actually pondered about using the nine tails power and all that stuff. To me he didn't change in the timeskip except for his size. It felt like that's all Kishi wanted the timeskip for. |

It doesn't make much sense for Lightning to be stronger against Earth than with Water. That's my problem. Also, funny you mention Sasuke vs Deidara, because it's a perfect fit for this thread. As for the World War thing, I understand that the difference in strength makes creating any sort of defence nigh impossible, but to create an even bigger weakness? There was no real point in it, except for slowing down the Raikage for about millisecond. Also, just for curiosity's sake, why would Naruto having a natural affinity for Water not make sense? Looks like you didn't read what I wrote carefully. I meant that Kakashi was the one who brought up Sasuke vs Naruto and their elements (telling Naruto that if he is able to add wind into his Rasengan it would beat Sasuke's lighting Chidori, and Naruto wind element is weak against Sasuke's fire). I was trying to tell you that the show already brought it up and you didn't discover it or something like that. I dunno, I thought at the time that it was weird that lighting was strong against earth but it didn't really bother me and since it was relevant to some fights, I don't think it's much of a problem. You mean that asspull at the end? that fight was great though, the elements strength and weaknesses were put to good use. It was a good strategic fight and I don't think the asspull in the end ruined it, could have been better without it though. That was the purpose, it was a defensive tactic, nothing more and nothing less. He would have went through them even without adding the lighting element to his attack. Other elements don't have a defensive wall unless I'm forgetting something. Because Rasengan + Water doesn't really make sense and I can't really picture Naruto of all the characters using the water element. Also it wouldn't make sense for the leaf village to have people with water as a natural element affinity, it's part of the Land of Fire after all. I think Kakashi or Yamoto told Naruto that Wind is the second most common natural element after Fire in the leaf village. |

No man, Naruto grew up, feels a little more mature than the pre TS him, and he had definitely gotten stronger, maybe better chakra control, and he stabilized his fighting style, techniques, jutsus, and such.. You can't expect him to grow up that quickly, otherwise there won't be a story to be told in Shippuden. Look from Kakashi's POV, when Naruto and Sakura left him, they were just a child that wasn't even that strong, and they grew stronger over the time skip. As for the genjutsu, Itachi was really exceptional in that department, well it might just be a plot device for Itachi to pass on his "message" to Naruto. He never considered about the kyuubi before because he doesn't even know anything about it, and doesn't really care, not until he realized the potential it holds. To me, he changed after the time skip, not much but still.. yeah.. P.S. I don't know about being praised though. |

The battle doesn't matter but the asspull fits in with this thread as perfectly as anything else. Hmm.... Rasengan+Water, eh... yeah, can't seem to think of a brilliant fit for that. Also, Wind is the rarest, with only a few to be able to use it. |

You saw how he went from not being able to to any jutsu and had no chakra control to learning the shadow clone which was supposed to be a jounin level move in an hour to being able to walk on water, make rasengans(which were said that like only 3 people could do and were the peak of chakra control or whatever), and control the nine tails power to a point. All in like less than a year. And then after two years just his chakra control got better and he got a larger rasengan? I don't see how I'm expecting too much of him(though I just realized you were talking about his growth as a character, you can disregard this point if you want). And he was supposed to be training with one of the strongest guys in the world for two years. He didn't even learn any frog moves. I don't see how he feels more mature. And I think you basically helped me with my point. Why would he have him change in the timeskip that we could not see? There needs to be a cause for change. Nothing happened right before the timeskip that would do that. The closest thing was Sasuke leaving which seemed to affect him more right after it happpened and later on in Shippuden. Nothing really happened with Jiraiya on the trip. When he came back he was just the same. The change would come afterwards. He was goofing around, the same recklessness which showed even more when he was rushing to Gaara's side, ignoring all of those around him who were tired or who had a plan(at least when going after Sasuke in the first part he listened to the plan and kept a cool head). He lost sight of himself in anger and allowed the enemy to get away. The same thing he always does, leaves it to the nine tails. What he did in the bell challenge, he could have done before the timeskip. They(mostly Naruto) only grew up in size. Sakura grew way stronger and more useful. I'll be rewatching Naruto within the next month or so, so I'll look out but I doubt I'll change my opinion. He was exceptional but that was basically only his clone and it was the only time since the timeskip that he was caught in a genjutsu. That scene itself felt like an bs moment because they showed all the flashbacks about him learning about genjutsu, talked about how it would be useful for him, then Itachi was the only one who used a genjutsu on him. What do you mean his message? Do you mean the eye or was there something else? And the eye was later in Shippuden. Yes and I think some of his growth was from his conflict with the kyuubi later. And it wasn't until he hurt Sakura that he realized the danger of it. That's my point, he didn't think about the kyuubi and it's powers during the timeskip. What do you mean you don't know? About the praising after they beat Kakashi? |

About the praising after they beat Kakashi? To be honest I never really gave it that much thought about leveling up. Before the time skip Naruto was more of a of-the-moment fighter, and I think Jiraiya taught him how to be a more consistent fighter. I don't know if what I said make any sense, but basically all I was saying is, Jiraiya balanced out Naruto's stats, speed, power, endurance, durability, technique, and so on.. I was wondering about the frog moves myself too, I'd like to see more combination moves, like how Jiraiya combined his jutsu with Gama-oyabun, fire + oil. I wouldn't say that Naruto changed, more like, he grew up. He is still childish at some point, but to a lesser extent, and he is not THAT selfish anymore, doesn't make a ruckus every time. The young Naruto was WILD. I don't remember the details, but Itachi passed a message, or rather, he just wanted to have a talk with Naruto, and yeah, the eye Itachi left inside Naruto. If it doesn't really make sense, then just ignore it as a plot device, because there is a reason why the genjutsu happened. If you watch Naruto, watch starting from the very beginning, the prequels, then you'll see some changes, more like growing up. Naruto viewed Jiraiya as a father figure to him, so naturally, I think he was just having the fun of his life traveling with Jiraiya, and grow stronger in the journey, instead of worrying about everything. I don't think that Naruto knew that the kyuubi power is controllable, and Jiraiya didn't even bother telling Naruto everything. I was referring to this He can't control the nine tails power and goes all crazy leaving Kakashi behind and letting the enemy get away, yet is still praised at the end of the arc I don't remember that very well. Maybe Kakashi wanted to comfort Naruto, after what he did to Sakura? |
