/jam/ - Japan, Anime, & Manga

>So is this the Naruto series really ending or are they setting up for a whole new series?

Please dear God just let it die already.

And just because Bleach is mentioned in the OP: it finally ended its Toonami run. (Until reruns start in two weeks, but they'll be airing later in the evening and won't start back at Episode 1 so I ain't givin' a shit.)

Been on for 8 years. Don't know why they aren't starting from the beginning though.

Still holding out for Hina/Naru/Saku because when has a protagonist won two girls before.

But honestly I don't care.

>>90090
>Still holding out for Hina/Naru/Saku because when has a protagonist won two girls before.
Tenchi Muyo?

>>90091

Only in OVA continuity, as far as I know.

>>90092
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei?

>>90090
>>90092
Macross Frontier.

Wako won both the Sugata and the Takuto in Star Driver but that's the other way around.

>>90096
Everything about that iage and trailer is terrible except for that guy who seems to be Pikkon in a cooler outfit? Pikkon was awesome. and he had more original techniques than any saiyan

>>90099

Whoever that was, it looked like he was wearing an outfit similar to that of the Kais. So if it was Pikkon, methinks he got a huge power boost between his last appearance and whenever the hell the scene in that trailer takes place.

>>90094
Itoshiki-sensei won between one to around like fifteen girls, depending on how you count it. And it's not exactly...the best example?

>>90092
In the novels he's married and had children with literally everyone.

>>90103
But wasn't that so he could marry and have children with figuratively one person or something like that?

Naruto spoilers being teased at ATM. Don't look at NarutoForums if you want to remain surprised.

If not, here's the link: http://www.narutoforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011808&page=27

>>90106
Does anyone actually give a fuck about being spoiled about the next awful reveal in Naruto?

Especially when it regards something so stupid about particular characters so worthless?

Annnnnd... the big surprise ending may have been leaked at /a/, with Evil from the NarutoForums possibly confirming. So avoid both places, if you want to remain surprised.

>>90113

I don't give a fuck, so spoilertag that shit and post it here plz.

>>90114
Yeah, I'm not reading through any of that to find what the actual spoilers are.

>>90086
>>90116
>>90112
So the whole getting her pregnant thing wasn't completly false afterall then

>>90116
Aw fuck its Avatar/HP all over again.

Also spoiler that shit.

>>90120

It's a matter of courtesy, not obviousness.

>>90121
>courtesy
>with Naruto

Well, whatever floats yer boat, buddy.

>>90123
>I want to get off Kishimoto's Wild Ride

>>90125
Yeah I know. I was just having fun. I don't think there was anyone out there who really believed Naruto was going to completely over.

>>90126
Anyone who truly cared at this point probably didn't want it to end. My only hope is that it gives a firm conclusion to the majority of this bullshit so I can have closure and forget it ever existed.

>>90127
That would require Kishi being passably competent as well as Jump or someone not wanting to milk Naruto like they milk DBZ.

Naruto isn't turning out how I expected. I was thinking more like Sasuke dies of blood loss, and Naruto has to sacrifice his left leg to mold enough chakra to bind Sasuke's soul to a suit of Susanoo with the Eight Trigrams Blood Seal. Then he gets Kankuro to fix him up with a Puppetmail arm and leg, and he and Susanoo!Sasuke go on wacky adventures trying to find the Philosopher's Chakra.

>>90131

…I think you've gotten your animu mixed up.

Eh. Really disappointing end to a series that I used to love.

Popped back in to read the last two (dumb) chapters. All the next gen characters and most of the older designs look pretty bad and the coloring is terrible. I don't remember Naruto's art being this ugly.

I hope Naruto is less of a terrible fucking deadbeat than Minato turned out to be in a clutch.

Who's meant to be the mother of Lee's kid? Tenten since she appears in her shop on the very next page?

How old is fucking Tsunade meant to be by the epilogue? Without her false youth disguise she'd be sweeping the floor with every step.

The ending was certainly brief compared to how they had been dragging the entire series out till this point, all the skyscrapers were weird despite the timeskip.

Wait was that the one piece pirate flag on the mountain face? Was that an edit on the version I read?

All's well that ends well.

Or as well as Naruto could possibly end I guess.

Kishimoto just couldn't get it together.

>>90139
I just realized that's supposed to be Luffy eating with Naruto, but they had Nami(?) blocking the shot.

>>90142
Thats the most obvious part.
Oda also had Nami, Luffy, Tony as his characters in the scene with NaRuTo.

Remember the Japanese issues with certain letters.

>>90143
I read that somewhere else but thanks for pointing it out here.

So do you think Oda would do something special for Bleach, or is he not as friendly with Kubo as he is with Kishi.

>>90140

Because Sakura's not really the mother, obviously. Perhaps, something, something what do you mean Sakura's not really a part of the Uzumaki clan like Karin? something, something.


Also, I really, REALLY hate that Sai ended up with Ino. It's completely senseless. All the other pairings were either implied (Lee/TenTen, Shikamaru/Temari in spades) or plausible, but not Sai. He's an asexual like Gaara is, so I can't see him ever reproducing; it just seemed as if Kishi shoved him in with Ino because there wasn't anyone else left. It's just a front. He's going all Brokeback Mountain with Suigetsu when nobody is looking.

>>90150

Here's your explanation for Sai/Ino: Despite everything you would think, Kishimoto clearly demonstrated during the whole Danzou thing that she is not even remotely over Sasuke. And Sai is Sasuke Lite in every single way. He was brought into the series, diegetically and non-diegetically, to replace Sasuke.

>>90151

This is all fine and good, but it still doesn't explain why Sai would want anything to do with her.

>>90152
Ino is Sai's beard. They complete each others social hole.

>>90155
A chick in one piece with a sword, so she's pretty useless right?

Still weakness is a common waifu trait so it works.

>>90154
I can accept that.

>>90163
Did her getting peed on make her greater in your eyes? Is that why you posted a screenshot of her from that particular filler episode?

>>90165
It sort of stands out in the memory. Naruto, in the form of Ino, peeing on Ino. Who the hell thought that scene up?

I hate that /a/ has probably sold me on watching that Naruto epilogue movie just for the Hinata stuff.

I thought I was free /jam/. I thought I was free.

But why is Anko fat now?

>>90171
It's amusing to see /a/ disgusted by it, but /v/ turned on by it.

>>90170
It's too much to expect Kishimoto to have a coherent and well-planned-out ending, redemption or not. The thought was probably "Oh, 700 chapters, that's a good number to end on! But I just started this fight between Naruto and Sasuke... well, I'll just wrap that up real quick, no biggee."

Maybe we'll get lucky and whoever is doing that mini will actually take the world and other characters he built up and do something with them.

>>90173

It's not a stretch to think that might happen. All the filler portions of the last couple arcs have been much more interesting and entertaining than the actual canon.

>>90175
Impure blood I guess.

>>90176

Would have made for some interesting character designs, though. Here's this kid that's basically Naruto-with-different-hair, he's always doing the eyes closed smiling/expressions...then bam, pupil-less white eyes that see all.

>>90178
Now I'm imagining that Naruto was in Sage Mode when they conceived, so the kid gets the huge purple iris and the bar pupil. Either together in both eyes or one in each eye.

>>90175
I will bet good money that one or both have the Byakugan regardless of pupils because Kishi.

All their delicious tears...

>>90190
>>90191
Anyone who is still emotionally invested in Naruto at this point--especially if they thought that Kishimoto would have an ending that would please them in any way--deserves every ounce of disappointment they get.

Every. Single. Ounce.

>>90193

A-goddamn motherfuckin’-men.

>>90193
The difference here is its not the quality of the ending's writing, the only reason these particular people are bitching is because they are hardcore shippers who didn't get what they wanted just like say the Zutarians at the end of Avatar.

If that only difference had been Naruto hooking up with Sakura instead of Hinata with no other changes they would have praised the ending as being excellently written.

(There's also some crazy shippers on tumblr ranting that the series is homophobic for not ending Naruto/Sasuke to be fair)

>>90199
>(There's also some crazy shippers on tumblr ranting that the series is homophobic for not ending Naruto/Sasuke to be fair)
It's not homophobic to not end that way, but you have to admit--the relationship between Naruto and Sasuke was given far more attention in the actual show than that of Naruto's relationship with either of his potential love interests. I can see someone making the argument that the emotional payoff of a Naruto/Sasuke hookup would have been more earned than that of any other pairing Naruto could end up in. Which is not to say I like the pairing (Hinata's by far the most likable of Naruto's potential love interests), but given the story we were forced to sit through, the Sasuke Route would have been one of the few ways to justify those two's fucked up relationship over the course of the story.

>>90200
Thats just Kishi being a terrible writer, especially when it comes to characters interactions and their actions.

Look at Minato, cunt that killed himself because he couldn't be bothered to be a single dad, shushing his wife even as she tried to tell him how crazy and unnecessary that was.

Third Hokage, useless old bastard who didn't do a damn thing right, not with the village and not even looking after the kid of his successor properly (Also it makes no sense that people didn't realize he was the 4th's son, despite looking so much like him, and being the one with the demon sealed in him just like the 4th's wife had in her previously which is the whole reason they resented him, he even had his mother's surname)

Jiraiya, Naruto's Godfather, turns out to be another scumbag. Instead of being a kindly, crazy old wise man who took up this bright looking young man out of interest, he's a fucking asshole who completely abandoned this little baby who was his godson, did nothing for him all the years he was completely alone and crying to himself in his sleep. Its even more nonsensical with the reveal he was willing to take care of three random brats for three years that had no relation to him?

Itachi, the manga fellated him heavily when he cam back as a zombie but it does nothing to change the fact the things he did were not only villainous but also stupid and detrimental to what he states as his true goals. Trying to turn him into a saint after all that was nonsense.

Obito, dubbed by the hero as "the coolest guy", actually a total monster and whiny prick who's petulance lead to massacres of countless innocent people amongst other crimes just because the chick he was obsessed with as a kid died.

As another example of Kishi's poor character writing,
the whole reason this movie is coming out (explicitly called a love story showing things coming to a climax) and the epilogue was so brief is because he's admitted he can't write romance well(/at all).
The reason side characters are more likeable in the series is because they have to suffer through less chances of being written by Kishimoto, have a cool moment or two to stand on and a likeable basic character without plot cancers growing through them.

Sounds like he was mostly making it up as he went.

>>90202
This was fairly certain years ago. I think it became most obvious around the time of the Itachi/Sasuke fight.

>>90203
I think that the whole "keep stretching the manga out as long as it's popular thing" that hits every shounen writer hit Kishi particularly hard. It's pretty obvious with the way the story constantly folds back on character development and plot in order to keep it going. Bringing popular characters back, reusing plotlines, etc etc.

I know it's not anime, but the only thing I can compare it to is House MD. Where you kept waiting for the main character to become a better person and make some progress with his life. And every season finale you would see some progress only to have it all reset, and by reset I mean crash and burn, the next season and go back to the status qo. Except in Naruto it happens on a plot-wide scale.

Despite its faults though, I was honestly satisfied with the ending. I think I'll enjoy it a lot more when the animators and sound team have a crack at it though, and hopefully expanding on some scenes and things that were left unexplained.

>>90205
>>90203
Also, it is obvious that Kishimoto didn't plan out much about the ending beyond "Naruto becomes Hokage". I think that was his biggest mistake. He wrote himself into corners for the sake of keeping the story going, and when it came time to tie everything together no one could have done it in a satisfying way.

I don't want to sound like the shippers, but the character design for Sarada could be seen as proof of this. It's like he designed a character to be Sasuke's daughter in advance. But as he wrote the final arcs even he didn't know whether he was going to have Sasuke end up with Sakura or Karin. So he left the design ambiguous enough to be changed around with minor alterations depending on how it turned out.

>>90206
>Also, it is obvious that Kishimoto didn't plan out much about the ending beyond "Naruto becomes Hokage".

Yeah, no kidding. Honestly, honestly, he sort of blew Naruto becoming hokage too. Naruto's desire to be hokage was never about the office itself, it was about Naruto attaining social acceptance. He wanted to be hokage because everyone had to respect and accept the hokage.

But the thing is, Naruto already has that. After the Pain arc there was no way around the fact that he was an accepted and even honored part of the village. That narrative arc was closed. Which makes Naruto actually becoming hokage just a piece of empty formality, devoid of any real impact.

>>90208
I wouldn't go that far. Naruto starting out as a kid that flunked ninja school three times to becoming the greatest Hokage the village has ever seen shows how all his hard work paid off in the end.

I bet if Naruto had been a girl, and her interaction with Sasuke was left as-is: constantly going after him, refusing to believe he was irredeemable even to the point of physical danger, no matter how bad he hurt her and turned his back on her, some of the same Sasuke x Naruto shippers claiming homophobia would be throwing around words like "problematic" or "sexist." Hell, I bet there's people saying that about Sakura now, for marrying the guy...

Straight out, those two had a pretty abusive and toxic relationship for a really long time, but then they blew off each other's arms and I guess he worked it out of his system?

I know The Last is being written by a different team,* but I'm 100% certain it's impossible for a single movie to redeem literal years of Sasuke mercilessly trying to kill the protagonists and bring the world to its knees.

*Different Team or no, I want to see Hinata actually be useful. It'll be kinda pointless if she isn't at least capable of holding her own in a fight.

>>90213
Well yeah they'd say that, because that's Sakura's arc in a nutshell and it's sexist as hell.

But does Bleach end with everyone dying and becoming shinigami with Ichigo as the captain commander.

Does One Piece end with Luffy finding the One Piece.

>>90216
I will immediately forgive Naruto for everything if that happens.

So in the wake of Naruto ending only two remain.

In Bleach: Ukitake and Shunsui are being shadier fucks than usual and Kubo still doesn't remember that Shunsui is supposed to have an eyepatch. Meanwhile, the Monk of the Royal Guard isn't going to job out with out a fight it seems.

In One Piece: The tragic tale or Corazon comes to an end and we possibly learn about X Drake's origin.

So what's the percentage chance that the value of the One Piece is more sentimental than actual?

>>90220
500%

Or they find that Gold Rodger's treasure had dwindled to "One Piece" of gold bearing his likeness.

>>90220
It's obviously just going to be a picture of his crew.

>>90220

Pardon the awful joke, but…OVER 9000%

>>90217
One Piece ends with Luffy and co. going off for more adventure after having found One Piece, duh.

>>90225
One Piece ends with the Straw Hat Pirates going off for more adventures in memory of their late Captain

>>90220
It sounds like half the value of One Piece is political.

>>90226
One Piece ends with Luffy squatting down and plopping his hat on the head of a kid orphaned by Sakazuki, telling him that he wants it back some day.

If One Piece doesn't end with Luffy kicking off a brand new Pirate Age, Whitebeard and Roger-style, I'll eat my hat.

One Piece ends with Luffy taking every Devil Fruit power into himself, then lives forever in the bottom of the ocean, ridding the world of Devil Fruit.

>>90229
He's already part of a new generation with the Supernovas.

I'm not caught up with One Piece yet (I'm on the Impel Down arc) but what would be the most disappointing thing it could be, though? I think by this point, it just being actual money would have to be the least impressive thing. Or maybe if it was some sort of superweapon, a la Halo.

Maybe if it was a time machine.

If the plot so far is anything to go by, it's probably something to do with the lost civilization.

>>90231

Roger and Whitebeard were part of a new generation at one point too.

>>90235
I think Anon was specifically referring to the "Worst Generation", which isn't actually an entire generation but a term for the eleven top rookie pirates.

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/The_Worst_Generation

Speaking of DBZ.

Rewatching DBZ via Kai on Toonami reminds me why I vastly prefer DBZ Abridged. Or maybe it's just the dub, I’unno. All the dialogue sounds ridiculous and there's SOOOOOOO much of it that's either infodumping or Generic Shounen Bullshit. Abridged (when isn't trying to be hilarious) gets plot-relevant info and dialogue into the mix without spending an entire goddamn episode on it.

>>90239
I've made the Abridged series my personal canon.

>>90245
Saying shit like that is why some of the people involved with it have gotten so unpleasantly arrogant.

>>90246
Well, I'm not taking it back.

>>90250
what is this shit?

>>90252
That's just silly.
But I suppose this is the one long big fight of ultimate destiny that people wanted Battle of Gods to be, so sure.

This is all just like the continuing Naruto novels and manga, though of course toriyama's franchise is no stranger to being milked its simply the new animated fodder brought out after the years since the giant monster movie being them kicking it up a notch.

Hell let's just get Naruto and DBZ to have a crossover movie and make it 'canon' to each series for extra marketing hype.

>>90255
pfft, all he needs is a Legendary Super Saiyan God form now...

>>90257
The big question is if you would think better or worse of the movie if it was about reviving Broly instead of Freezer.

>>90258
Worse, thats not even a question, Umbrelly should not have been kept around after the one movie (though at least the movie featuring his clone was interesting solely in that it didn't involve Goku appearing to take any spotlight in fighting the movie villain AT ALL, not even his ghost showing up to actively take part like against Bojack or Broly in his second movie).

He became incredibly cancerous non-character who got pushed too much, plus his fanboys were some of the most awful examples in the fandom
>>BROLY IS THE BEST HE'S STRONGER THAN EVERY OTHER VILLAIN!!!

It’s basically fanservice for people who want to see Goku take on Frieza one more time. That's it.

Speaking of DBZ, it occurred to me just this morning that Videl is an anagram of Devil, and her father is Mr. Satan. I don't know how I missed this for more than a decade.

>>90262
Toriyama said Mr. Satan's real name is Mark, which is an anagram of akuma for devil.
Pan is named after both the bread and the mythological creature.

>>90255

This is stupid. The entire POINT of Brolly's Legendary Super Saiyan form was that it was a transformation unto itself that had no limits; his power level basically just kept on rising the longer he used it. After the zenkai he got being smushed by the comet and crashing onto Earth, it even exceeded the level of a Super Saiyan 2. Having him transform into SSJ3 or 4 is not only ridiculous, it misses the point.


>Frieza

Okay, I'm honestly really curious about this one. Excepting Yamcha and possibly Krillin, there isn't a single major character in the series that couldn't solo Frieza, hardly trying, at this point. Even Goten or Trunks could manage if they turned Super Saiyan. Goku, Vegeta, and Gohan wouldn't even HAVE TO turn Super Saiyan!

So I'm guessing he's going to somehow have some kind of Cooler-ish transformation that enables him to magically reach the power level of a Super Saiyan 3. Ugh...

>>90265

In the 12th movie, Gohan didn't even go SSJ before he one-punched Frieza into dust.

My guess is Frieza's henchmen (or Frieza himself) use the second wish to make him the most powerful being in the universe or something. It would explain why Bills would need to show up again, anyway.

>>90266
DBZ power levels are stupid.

It doesn't help all the saiyans have such utterly boring fighting styles, while anyone who has interesting techniques is benched since power level bullshit only cares if you are a saiyan, or more specifically Goku and sometimes Vegeta (not Gohan, even when he becomes stronger than his old man multiple times he's soon bitched out so Goku can save the day)

Seeing the human Z-fighters defeating Freiza through them teaming up and attacking him at once would be far more interesting to see.

This seems like as a good a time to ask as any: Are they still on Namek?

>>90266
He wishes for immortality so they just keep beating him up and it's like welp.

>>90269
Garlic Jr already did that for both the movie and the anime filler arc.

>>90271

>Wow, I can't remember the last time someone actually nutted up and asked for that. Congrats! Can't wait to hear how you f**k this up.

>>90274
Man there are some cerazaaaaaay spoilers flying about, wonder if any of them are accurate.

In other news

Bleach: The Vizoreds are back and they brought Yoruichi's little sister with them while Urahara is acts shadier than usual. Meanwhile the monk has his best psycho face on and is seemingly using his powers to cut Ywach's abilities in half. Which means there might be a few more chapters before he jobs.

One Piece: The Flashback is over and we get a status report of that's going on. Law reveals he's a D and begins his counterattack on Doffy. Also Senior Pink saved a cat.

>>90289
Looks pretty cool

>>90277
Alright, let's do it.

Cast your vote on which members of the Doflamingo family will be rehabilitated or help out the good guys, even if just for future cover arcs. Who can be redeemed?

My prediction is that all non-execs get the Baroque Works treatment while Baby 5 and/or Senor Pink get continuing adventures.

Dear Gintama, please stop beating my heart with emotions. Why do you cut me so deep. I read you for laughs. But I go home crying ;_;

>>90289
Hero Academia? I might start following that series!

>>90297
Its nice hearing about comic artists from a region being open to absorbing artwork from other places. Used to be manga authors just consuming manga, americans just having american, and so on. The french side really started standing out when they started combining their own schooling with both japanese and american styles, and lots of upcoming US artists are really coming forward with their japanese influence.

Its healthy and refreshing for everybody.

>>90295
Honestly no on really.

>>90277
So who wants to bet that the whole Quincey thing is a ruse and Urahara and those two captains are who we should be worried about.

>>90315

Because that would cost more money, presumably.

>>90323

Yeah, I don't get that stylistic choice AT ALL. Literally the only other person I can think of in the Naruto-verse that uses prescription glasses is Karin.

Seriously, now... is Kishimoto trying to tell us something??

>>The Naruto mascot at the showing tweeted the kissing scene perked him up. Some people say the kissing might be to much for kids. Very passionate the knuckle-headed ninja it seems. He has problems at first because Hinata is too short

>>90289
Really like the MC's hero suit glad that it was explicitly stated he has sent it off to be repaired from the battle damage it sustained instead of just being discarded and sticking him in something "cooler"

>>90343
>>90344
What is this?

>>90345
It's in the thread >>90289

Looks like 'Mingo's a cut above the rest.
I guess Law now has to fight 'Mingo unarmed.
Someone should give Law a hand.
He's having some trouble keeping himself together.

Bleach:Kubo really like music references as the monk reveals his Bankai to lose to Ywach.

One Piece: Law losses an arm which is probably no big deal since he has his devil fruit. Also Bellamy is about to put in his application for strawhat with one last attack.

The first season or at least part of it aired before getting pulled. It had a dub and everything, but it just didn't do well, sadly.

>>90363
You know it just hit me. Shizune is still around the Hokage's office in Naruto's time, which means she probably served as a aide there through all of Kakashi's term...

Why? Why? Why are you crying so?
I know all that you went through, you waited so long
Why? Why? I took so long getting to you?
How could I not realize? I finally found you…
It was hard to find

Now my feelings are different
My heart wants to be with you
You’re my other half
In a slip to the stars.

Why? Why? Why that expression?
You don’t have to worry anymore
Why? Why? …
All this time I did not see you
My feelings were confused

I just needed a because to love
A simple decision that I should have taken
Enjoy life with you
You’re the perfect person

That lifelong wait
I promise I’ll protect you
You are the star that shines on my sky
My heart will follow you to the end

No matter what happens
We can overcome anything
That’s what I want…. It’s what I want
That I want to do.

My heart wants to be with you
You’re my other half
In a slip to the stars …
We will face anything
And nothing will stop us …
Nobody can. Nobody can.

Man DBZ is such a terrible franchise, the only thing that is making me think about getting the new fighting game is the in-depth character creator and the fact that the gameplay looks far better/more fun than the past couple of games. Has any new info been released regarding it?

Man its getting really pathetic with the shippers in regards to the new naruto movie, they are going MAXIMUM ZUTARIAN.

They are intentionally going out of their way to pick out negative Japanese comments and try and claim thats proof that all Japan hates the new movie/Naruto & Hinata getting together, or that it isn't making any money despite making as much money as the previous film did over time on its opening night alone.
Also trying to claim that voice actors are in revolt and refuse to do more work because of particular characters not getting together.

Somehow this seems even worse than those people starting petitions to try and get the movie banned in the west or force Kishimoto to change the ending, its like they think they can sneakily alter reality if they get enough people to believe their propaganda.

So is the big three done now? Can we just have One Piece, Toriko and Boku No Hero Academia be the big three?

that way two of the big three would be incredible with only one being kinda mediocre.

Toriko is awful though.

And even after they tried to push it HARD as a replacement Big 3 member it didn't do very well.

yeah Toriko is the shitty spawn of HxH and OP

If we're going by pushing volumes and merchandise, both Haikyuu!! and Kuroko no Basuke would be in the "new" Big 3 over Toriko and Boku No Hero Academia. The next generation of Jump's topsellers are very much defined by the female demographic. We're entering the age of fujoshi.

Sounds cool to me.
