You're going to start watching One Piece? You're about to expierence the greatest adventure ever.


Oh god one piece, so long...



Its a very good series, I mean I enjoy the humor mid battle and seriousness, everyone of the main characters gets great development. I just love Zoro, he has some of the best moments in the series. Best part? Everyone is free of pairing wars, there are no pairings in one piece, and Oda goes crazy with his imagination, some lands are very good and sensible like a desert or snow land, others are insane like an islands full of well, lets just say its not good for the womanizer of the group.

Only things that irked me about the series:

1. Luffys power is still hard to get by despite it working in this, just glad he has other power many people can use.
2. I still think Ace's death was not that eventful, its only because of the current arc I hope they get someone who can use his former power. Yeah I said Ace's death was not that eventful, I felt Jiriaya's death was handled much better, Ace could have gotten away but had to fight. And yes Ace was my favorite character alongside Zoro but that spot is now occupied by Zoro.
3. Story is extended because of every crew mate getting attention individually for fights.
4. The story has a sense of wash rinse repeat, crew goes somewhere, there is trouble, a big fight comes, Luffy always last, they have a party and move out. This only differs with other events rising from time to time like the notion of the void era, the ultimate weapons, or rather the moments leading up to the final few arcs before the timeskip. I honestly want to know more about the void era and dr vegapunk but we have very little on them though. We don't even know dragon that much, its been 15 years more and its going to be a very long series.

i dunno why... but I smell some the future events will be along the lines of RTN... well, let's see....

What do you mean about that?

Yeah, my favorite part of the series is the dynamic between the Strawhat Team. I just love that no one is ever forgotten by the author and that everyone has an important role in the crew. And all of the character's backstories are incredible and heartwarming. I specifically remember bawling during Nami's, Chopper's, and Robin's. I was close on Brook's. Haha, I'm such a baby.

What do you mean about that?

trolling.... from the teaser trailer it seemd that they tried to foresee with some NH/SS hints. But instead... well, you know...

I just can't imagine Karin and Sakura fighting over Sasuke :T.........

Doubt it. I can see her being turmoil between him and Naruto. It's not easy anymore for her.

About Rtn it wasn't a movie lol NaruSaku is canon because the ending well it was like nothing happened and the development of Sakura was towards her parents,and confirming Mina/Kushi/Naru/Saku, but still the fact that there is adversitizing and the cover of RTn which was draw by him and suggested SS/NH i think he's aware that the majority of the fanbase is SS/NH for some reason.

Maybe people are just overthinking about that RTN cover. The point of it was to showcase the new personalities in the AU.

Hinata was defined as being rude and overly possessive of Naruto/Menma, and Sasuke was defined as the playboy putting the moves on Sakura just for fun. Those were their central characteristics so it actually made a lot of sense to make it like that.

Yeah, that sounds about right. It's not like he supports it. It's like how I imagine him in the office while reading NH/SS fan letters: "Huh?"

[Arachnia]

just a hour ago some asked what would you do if NH becomes canon well check out neji

i would stand nxt too him doing the same hell he would be my drinking partner


only i would cry how is this possible

Well we don't need to act like the end has come, I mean yes some are worried about Sakura going back to Sasuke, but the sad truth about SS is, no matter how kishi thinks he can put it in, the purpose of Sakura is instantly ruined. He could not give it any more meaning now than he did in the start, but Sakura going back to Sasuke merely because she hoped he would recover is the biggest type of lazy writing one could imagine. It does not matter how Sakura loves or goes back to Sasuke if he goes this route, Sasuke was always unaffected by her, gave her negative attributes, and Sasuke just has no purpose for loving any girl really in the series. Sakura's development is based around Naruto and Sasuke, but mostly Naruto, part of her character was obviously doing what she promised him, helping him achieve his goals, the point of Sakura going back to Sasuke is just a set up for a big ruin in the series. All the development was chosen by him, unless he thinks he is doing some crazy excellent ending, Sakura's love coming true for Sasuke would be a bigger asspull than what happened with Sasuke in the last chapter.

If NaruHina came, it would not be as bad but it still does a lot of damage, why would Naruto just have suddenly stopped loving Sakura? Due to the confession despite knowing it was for his benefit and she only wanted him to be safe and no longer suffer? Only thing worse than an asspull is the double standards of characters in this series, if Naruto can forgive Nagato and Kurama, why not Sakura? I don't know how many double standards on characters in this universe exist but this would be one of the biggest and worse on Naruto himself. Some could say Sakura has a double standard between Naruto and Sasuke but remember the crush on sasuke and close friendship with Naruto and the actions between them is what drives a larger part of Sakura's character, this is something she carries the whole series once part 2 takes off.

Either way, if NH comes or SS comes, its like fans are accepting of a literal fodder pairing with NH (Hinata being a minor character for the total sake of this) and SS just becomes a giant fanfiction pair, I mean that is basically how 90% of these SasuSaku fanfictions turn out, the sudden "hidden feelings" or "always believed in your brighter side" crap. I can tolerate Sasuke starting his redemption, but if Kishi literally just caved for the fans, then yeah this would prove Naruto was nothing but a manga at first and became a giant fanfiction later on. It would be ultimately bad and just plain sexist too if he gave Sakura the same basic treatment he gave Karin recently.

NaruSaku is the only end pairing with the most viability and stability and sense to the story.

NaruHina can happen but it would do some damage.

SasuSaku just pain kills everything and destroys the story.

I can see literally 1000s of ways NaruSaku occurring, I can see a few minor ones for NaruHina, but I can see nothing for SasuSaku.

What if he give up on her character, or even accepted that he failed on despicting her as a heroine.
The hatedom is too big and even when he makes a good scene to her the majority despict it as a bad scene for her character picture even Sakura's seyuu who said that she used Naruto's feelings to manipulate him.

Then add the fact that she got sideline on this war arc and didnt even got a fight on her own (Chyo-baa) and then she will appear right when Sasuke is going to the battlefield which obvious would lead to her development then her development is connected to Sasuke? Wtf?
The next step for her development is to meet Sasuke again?

Just going to put my thoughts Naruto's most prized objective was to redeem Sasuke, second is to bring peace to the world, i wish Sakura could help Naruto into this, and on 573 seemed that she was going to support Naruto on those tasks and not let him shoulder everything by himself, now with Sasuke supposed redemption all of this is going downhill, if this continue this way, there's nothing for Sakura and there's nothing she can do for him, her development would be "Naruto or Sasuke?".
Then we go to the promised shining moments then her "shining moment" is to meet Sasuke again?
I'm sorry but i feel that her development and also NS is slowly being throw into a trash can, i still have faith on NS(like i'll always be since i dislike NH and SS) but i'm close to drop this manga, and i come into a position where i'm hoping for a plot twist or trolling, just to give a measure on how this arc and the whole Naruto's story is being well written.

If kishi did that, they he practically screwed himself over. I would find it ironic if he used his favorite character to ruin the story.

Not worried about NaruSaku for now, I mean nothing has come yet, we don't know Sasuke's full feelings and thoughts but even I'm hoping he does not make Sakura go into the same mode, I mean he put NaruSaku stuff in the majority of the series, just would be absolutely bad to abandon it for one of the other two. I mean he could get away with Karin's acting last chapter, that was cause she was minor and had a humorous element to her. But he cannot do that with Sakura, I mean its not for Sasuke redeeming himself, its with the fact that Sasuke just never had anything from her aside from a mere friend and she practically had no purpose on him. SasuSaku was just an ideal, and that's all it should remain. Generally when authors write stuff, it tends to work as a contract at times and make a boundary for which they can act but they are free to break this and make things go insane if they wanted as it is their choice but that just makes things weak and lazy, I mean look at how many times Marvel and DC comics pulled random crap.

I believe NS will happen and there is nothing to make an issue with its potential yet, but seriously, NaruSaku is the only one pairing I can see making sense in the end. I mean we could be making a big deal out of nothing and he can treat Sakura with respect and make her turn away regardless. Its just we have no idea where this will go, as I view new Sasuke the good I see is the fight they are going too, them going to help thrash Madara is a neat one, the other one is a possibility of what we fear, but its just a possibility and we hope it does not happen. I mean we still need to see if chp 540 and 615 actually lead somewhere, they can.

Also for Sakura in the war arc, everyone got this treatment, not just her, Kishi made so many new characters in the 5 kage summit and brought others by way of the edo tensi that he had to give some time and insight to what they could do. Everyone got small amounts of screentime including minor characters like Mifune and Dauri. I really don't consider this one an issue, there were some important development points such as Gaara vs his father and team 10 vs Asuma. Those fights made sense. The 5 kage against madara was neat too despite the trashing they took. So I would not count this against Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke had to be cut for a while too, Narutos role became bigger during the 4 edo kage though. And just remember, last year from chapters 573 to 605 or so had the majority of the cast shafted and we had to go through 3 battles and a flashback with Kabuto until the alliance showed up.

I believe NaruSaku will happen but nothing has come up yet. Kishi could have trolled us again with Sasuke for all we know, or Sasuke could be hiding something else. We do not have all the info, so all we can do is wait and see. Hopefully things remain on track for NaruSaku, everything is there, it can happen, no damage to the story, in one way, it can attribute to a proper ending for the story. Only thing to consider in favor of this is that hopefully Kishi treats Sasuke, his favorite character the right way with the others and does not ruin their development based on this, he can make this work. NaruSaku is still on for all purposes and still has that high possibility to occur.

Let me bases on the flashbacks, Kakashi turns down Rin, rejecting her, if Sasuke says "i'm sorry i dont love you" the she will get with Naruto because she got rejected and this sceneario has 100% chance that will happen, there's no way that Sasuke will love her, but if she walks this road she will certainly be rejected, Obito not just redeemed Kakashi but also changed him, Kakashi was no more arrogant and prepotent he was to a point he was honest, despite retaining some of his personality like taking harsh decisions, then the only two scenarios that would happen, is Sakura looking at Karin/Ino going after Sasuke and she thinking she is not special and pursue a love on him is worthless or she already get over him.

SS moment will be inevitable, she will meet him again and looks like the story is going on this direction, Kishimoto making Sasuke to be looked like a hero not on the same level as Naruto but as a "hero", there are possibilities open for undo all the "development" on this arc misleading the fans also with the fact that her shining moment would be connected to Sasuke so yeah, instead of helping naruto or doing something big, is something related to pairings.
She made a speech where she would not let Naruto shoulder everything by himself nad this is slowly being throw into a trash can, it's too early to make decision but the story is really becoming into a crap.

Kishimoto promised he would make the story exciting but i can only see him messing up with Pairings and Shippers.(615 then 2 weeks of break until to 616 no wonder why 616 got the 1st on ranking, now 627 with 1 week break to 628 and guess why it's going to be the 1st ranking again).

Well it's not hard to have standards when your target audience is middle school boys who are still learning about story plot design and elements in writing courses.

Nothing to worry about for now and the sakura Sasuke interaction will happen again, but so will naruto and sakura. It's at this point, I'm tempted to take a break from the manga, focus on the dubs they recently released and wait till rtn gets the Japanese dub. Also could use this time to catch up with fairy tail. Things can still be good in the story, but I'm temped to skip a few weeks and come back after a few chapters piled up. But there is no question about it, best development to end with sakura is her going to naruto, it's because we have seen it in the majority of the story between both of them.

Just take satisfaction in that we knew Sasuke would do something with the hokage story, it's not as bad as what I have seen in bleach, Ichigo and ishida are basically cousins.

1st Sakura moving on from Sasuke is the best for her character but the way things are going he can do some trolling and keep with the inconsistent writing.

About Sasuke, we knew but he had hatred towards the village nad even stated when he met his brother and even think about what he said he claimed that his hatred only increased now he thinks only on Itachi's words and his memory he takes the other decision, when the most plausible was to not try to destroy the village but seek a way for peace and not believing on the "will of fire" not agreeing with the kages beliefs and also his brother, he wanted the response for that and he got it.
The most logical was he to go for Madara's path but not comitting his mistakes like attacking the village, instead of being some emo rage fueled he would become someome who disagree with Naruto, who is not interested on who will win the war and instead of going to the battlefield would go to Madara/obito's hideout to seek for his research and learn more about the juubi.

lets hope that wont be the case,. the sad part is, Sakura always seem to have more screen time when there's something about Sasuke.. going with that logic, then we're about to see her soon,.. but i really think that her moving on from Sasuke would be a development on her part,. now, dont get me wrong, i want her to kick some ass, she's got a lot of potential and i hate it when Kishi put her back on the sidelines gawking at the battle scene when she can do much more. (but her medic skills are really amazing, so lets not forget that while others are fighting, she's saving lives)

I dont want to believe Kishi on everything he says, since he rarely give us hints, but he sure said that Sakura needs to grow up and confirmed who's his heroine is.. so, im hoping that he wont kill off Tsunade just to give her the 'development' she needs. so what's still there that keeping Sakura's development?... Sasuke.
if Kishi can make the side characters shine, we ought to see a much better version of what his heroine can do. it's been building up, it may be progressing slow, but it is there.

Speaking of other series, which of the following would you guys recommend to start watching while on break from Naruto?

• Cowboy Bebop
• Fairy Tail
• Full Metal Alchemy
• Full Metal Alchemy: Brotherhood
• One Piece

[TouKen4Life3g]

FMA brotherhood without a doubt.

some commentary about Sakura and the yin seal.

There is a possbility that Sakura has allreayd mastered it off screen however the quesiton remains why hasnt she used it yet?

there are a couple of explanations but so far Sakuras has yet to encounter a situation which would require release of the seal.

YET, there is a possbile explantion. IF Sakura meets Tsunade.

It is possible that Tsunade may have locked the seals some how keeping Sakura from using them until the time is right. The confrontation with madara and or Sasuke may be the catalyst to Tsunade unlocking the seal.

we may see this scene soon in the manga along with tsunade passing the torch to Sakura in this fashion.
