It's possible, but you really think SP or Kishi will take the time and effort to show us that?

Kishi probably not but SP could. Another opportunity to glorify yhrier princess

Kishi done with this series he is walking out the door and is not looking back. The thing is this is suppose to be what SP has spent years fighting for and working towards. But despite the fact that they finally got what they wanted they don't seem to be putting much more effort towards it than they did before.

It's the fact that it was shown only byakugan users perform Hyuuga techniques.
He just should not have given Boruto those abilities, since he didn't get the doujutsu. Not to mention, it just looks lazy that he gave all the kids their parents abilities, instead of giving them their own. We've seen enough rasengan a and sharingans to last more than a lifetime, so why not try to expand on the things that didn't get developed, like genjutsu and more elemental ninjutsu. Because, they're supposed to be ninjas, yet only focus on special eyes and magical balls.

Its not impossible. I don't recall it being stated that none Byakugan wielders could use the gentle fist. Besides, given what happened to his sister, he will probably awaken the Byakugan at some point in his life

You need byakugan to do it.

if you mean the little "melody" ns kid that people claim junko was the one who drew it, it's false

 

if you mean the interview where she said naruto's and sakura's bond is stronger than a lover's, it's true.

I feel like that was damage control.

 

Piiiix! Haven't seen you in a while. Missed you around here.

Yeah I'm really not interested about anything Naruto related anymore lol.

Why do you say this?

Is it because she isn't bashing the Bolt movie? She already got out of doing Naruto's son because of this mess, what else do you expect her to do? She already said how she felt no love between Naruto and Hinata and said that Naruto and Sakura's bonds are closer than Nh and SS put together. So what else do you want?

-sigh- This all gives me heart burn.

of course the Naruto fandom is not one to talk

"We are not gonna give Kishimoto a dime for this kitten anymore" *everyone goes to see Bolt the movie for the SasuNaru sexicles*

That's.....literally not why. 

 

It's because everything that she's said has pointed towards her liking the ending. Not just NH. Besides, what if she's tired of voicing the Naruto series for other reasons? She never said it had anything to do with NS, we just assumed. We tried to do the same thing with Chie too. It's not like with Kishimoto where we have valid proof that he's a [insert curseword here].

Nothing in that shows her disappointment in the ending. 

[James S Cassidy]

Nothing in that shows her disappointment in the ending. 

Nothing shows her liking the ending either, but I love the logic of "If you don't say something negative about it, then you must love it."

So basically...she is indifferent.

Of course, with the way Kishimoto bashes his character and insults the fandom...I could argue Kishimoto doesn't like it either.

Does that mean if I don't talk badly about the Star Wars prequels / Micheal Bay / or anything that people are trending to hate that means I think they are the greatest thing on this Earth?

I think most VAs try to avoid openly criticizing or complaining about something that directly affects the people that they work for and with. It just wouldn't be worth the hassle for them despite their personal feelings on the matter.

If the voice actors dare to criticize the ending, the message they'll receive is this:

Not surprising at all. It's typical result for Naruto franchise. Let's see in 3-4 weeks time where we will get the total picture.

Road to Ninja made about USD 17 million in Japan only (not considering inflation and exchange rate difference). http://www.boxoffice...roadtoninja.htm

Of course, apple to apple comparison can only be done if we knew exactly how much screens it's being shown (i.e. The distribution power). In case of RTN, it was 262 cinemas according to boxofficemojo. In the link that you gave us, it shows that the number or cinemas for Boruto is 267 --my Japanese sucks, but I can still remember few kanji characters.. Haha..

After all that sacrifices the studio and the author made, yet, at this moment I highly doubt they could meet their minimum 2 million target viewers. I guess they have to find a way to finish those 2 million freebies... ;)

We'll see in the coming months.

You need byakugan to do it.

The only reason you don't see non-Hyuga Clan members doing the Jyuken is...

A.) The exact way of using it is most likely a closely guarded secret of the Main Branch family. Even Hiashi was shocked that Neji, a branch family member of the same clan, was able to perform the 64 palms so masterfully because he believed only Main Branch members could use it, much less master it.

B.) It would be pointless to try to learn it anyway because any average shinobi would have a far less chance of being able to maximize the effectiveness of the style without the Byakugan giving them the ability to see the tenketsu.

It was never stated, to my knowledge, that the Byakugan is required just to be able to learn the movements or for the method of pushing your chakra into an opponent's body/chakra points. That in itself is similar to the concept of the chakra scalpel and using your chakra to cut inside an opponent without leaving a visible mark on the outside while the rest is taijutsu training. It is only necessary to be able to see the tenketsu clearly all the time (when in use) to hit them exactly on point rather than a glancing blow or even a complete miss without one unless you're a highly trained medic.


And yes, there is a problem with using Kurama as merely a chakra battery, because it kills the necessity of Naruto having to really train that hard to become stronger himself, as we saw as the series went on. As we saw with his Rasengan training, learning the Kage Bunshin, creating the Rasenshuriken, he is more than capable of learning and becoming more powerful on his own without Kurama's chakra having to be reduced to nothing more than a convenient deus ex machina to bail him out when he's clearly getting outclassed.

Also, Naruto was not going to "harness it" nor was he meant to, but the particulars of the seal was meant to sap away Kurama's chakra little by little and feed it into Naruto's chakra, converting it into his own, all most likely without him knowing most of his life until Mizuki blew the whistle, so it was literally stealing power from another source just to give to Naruto. But either way, it does not change the fact that Naruto only won most of the time because of having two power sources; his own and another being's, and the other being's chakra being far more potent and powerful than anything else at the time. If you were to take that other source out of the equation (along with other cliches like, again, convenient moments of stupidity on the opponent's part), there is no doubt that Naruto would have lost a majority of his battles. That shows that it is only due to Kurama's chakra that Naruto came back and won those battles he otherwise would have lost (or at least didn't die or be crippled), ergo, it takes away the credit of the win/comeback; because it was not "Naruto and his power" that was responsible, but "Kurama and his power" that was, even if it's in Naruto's body.

It would be like if...say...the Power Rangers were getting their butts kicked by the monster of the day, then a non-Power Ranger ally either sweeps in and destroys the monster and/or gives the Power Rangers some of their power to allow them to win. You can't reasonably say "the Power Rangers" beat the monster, but that it was clearly that ally that beat the monster, because without that ally and/or their power, they would have lost..

Or if one wants to go even further, if a student in a spelling bee, who barely studied, had a cheat sheet with all the words that would be used, and won because of it, would you still say that student actually "won" in the end? I mean, the student did do all the spelling and everything, even though they had a completely separate source that gave them all the answers, but hey, they still "beat" the other students that didn't have one, right?

That does not mean I think Kurama's chakra should never be used, but rather that the way it was used was done very poorly since, as I said, it constantly made Naruto himself look weak without it. It would have been far better if it had been more like how Bee was with Gyuki in that Bee showed that he was more than capable and skilled at taking care of himself without needing to practically default to using Gyuki's chakra to fight stronger opponents. We can easily say that it was "Bee and his power/skill" who devastated Sasuke and effortlessly brought him to his knees, not "Gyuki and his power". The only reason Bee even used it was because of his plan on escaping, but it wasn't necessary to actually win the battle.

Yeah, me neither really. I'm usually hanging out in the other threads.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Not going to lie but after the movie released, I have been drifting away further and further in a rapid rate.

[Nar123]

I'm not at all surprised that SP is milking Naruto for all it's worth. What else have they got going for them? Bleach got cancelled and from what I understand they also lost the license to Tokyo Ghoul. 

 

I don't think they lost the license to TG honestly or at least I didn't heard anything about

 

as far as I know they still have a TG OVA in production 

Edited by Nar123, 19 August 2015 - 01:43 AM.

[TouKen4Life3g]

They didn't lose the license. At least not what I heard. I know they have OVA and I'm only taking advantage of the second one because well, it's the only way to get the story since they won't bring it to the state. Though I can hope. Anyway, if they lost the license, God has gave our blessing.

Did you saw this? This interview happened before the gaiden and showed it how the VA's don't know very much about the series due to some really stupid things they said...Junko included

 

honestly, it's obvious Junko had a soft spot for NS, Sasuke-Naruto bond and team 7 in general due to her past inerviews and her interviews about the last where she showed such indiference to the movie...but ultimately Naruto is just fiction and she has a job, of course she is not going to say or outright rebel against SP 

 

I guess she came to accept the ending somewhat
