Hmmm....I read most of the comments and something...doesn't feel right. A good portion of you find this plot hard to believe. A tree that bears fruit and can create gods if that fruit is eaten? Why Kishi has gone off his rocker. Nay, I say.
I am about to bring up something else that is far worse than that. People know of my relationship with this series as I have mentioned it so many times before on the podcast. One I never said was that there was another reason why I hate this series. I want to bring that up now because I think I have a point to make.
I have to bring this up because so many people have told me how great this series is and how amazingly written it is, but...from all the comments I see here...
I want to ask you this. A tree bearing fruit that when eaten by humans gives them power beyond reality in this world is too much and too out there, but....THIS?!
....is acceptable?
Yes, I have seen the ending....(finally)....and I have to say that it made even less sense than this does.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase: "My will be done"
Lol, it makes me laugh that you used Gurren Lagann as a comparison. Naruto operates in a different set of rules as Gurren Lagann. It has a sense of a structured world, like ours is governed by laws of physics. Gurren Lagann is all about, as their motto goes, "kick reason and logic to the curb." Stuff happens because the main characters will it to happen and they'll not let anything, even physics and logic stand in their way. In other words, literally anything can happen in the Gurren Lagann universe if you're hot blooded enough.
This is mostly just in response to you using Gurren Lagann. I haven't really read the chapter, and since I'm in school, I won't be able to read it until 3 at the earliest. But, anyway, honestly, this is a world where people can shoot lightning, mass of energy can become sentient, and the moon is a carcass of an ancient demon of destruction. Dunno if a god producing tree is out of the realm of reality in this 'verse
