Alright guys, since Naruto: The Last is finnaly watchable online (Although it's in the Korean Dub), I can finnaly give my honest opinion about it!

 

 

And... It's passable.

 

- I gotta say, although I'm a NaruHina shipper, I can't help to feel that the way Naruto fell for Hinata was like "She likes me...? Alright, firetruck it, I'll go with it".

 

- Sasuke had almost no screen time at all. Although destroying a meteor with Chidori was awesome.

 

- The villain left no impact on me whatsoever. Toneri was just bland for me.

 

- Did I already say that the way Naruto fell for Hinata was dumb? 

 

- The remake of Naruto's original theme was good. Everything else was meh.

 

- I still can't get over how Naruto fell for Hinata like that. Like, UURGH

 

6.5/10 for me, definitely not a Road to Ninja

Finally, I can talk about The Last with someone.

 

 

 

From what I've heard, opinions on the movie are pretty divided. I personally thought it was the best Naruto movie yet, while I read about some Japanese viewers who thought it was a complete disgrace to the series. In terms of the romance, they had to squeeze it into one movie, but I think Naruto realized his feelings after noticing how much Hinata cared about him, and what she'd done for it. It wasn't really a "Eh I'll go along with it," I think that he really did love her after realizing how much she looked up to him. We also missed a lot of their development on the journey since the movie was only ~2 hours, so that probably made it seem more like a "Why not" thing from Naruto.

 

As for Toneri, he was interesting, but he's nowhere near as interesting as Obito, Madara, and Pain were, in my opinion.

 

Also, HOLY CRAP THAT REMIXED NARUTO THEME WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOMENTS IN THE MOVIE.

 

On the subject of Sasuke, the guy sitting next to me in the theater (Father with his family, I assumed he was dragged along by the kids or something) squealed when Sasuke came in. It was hilarious.

 

I'd probably give it a 9/10. I'm hoping Boruto will be as good as this one!

Looking back and thinking about Naruto, it's really disappointing. ):

 

Before the time skip, Naruto was the hardworking, everyday-man, normal person trying to be accepted, but in Shippuden, there are so many asspulls. Naruto is a child of prophecy, son of 4th Hokage and a unique clan, reincarnation of a great ninja except he's dumber than Ashura, part of another prophecy, and so many gained powers. What he stood for was completely erased because everything was meant to happen... He had help and he wasn't really doing anything for himself.

 

Part 1: 9/10
Part 2: 6/10 (Shippuden)
Overall: 7/10

 

This guy points out a lot of faults. He pronounces Neji wrong though.

The more I see people compare the two parts, the more I realize I'm part of the minority that prefers Part 2.

 

Naruto still did work his hardest in Shippuden. Sure, he had some help, but he still struggled to gain the acceptance of his village. It had been hinted at from the start that he was Minato's son, and he didn't have any of the Uzumaki clan's techniques. As for the prophecies, isn't that common in a lot of popular works? Either way, he still pushed himself to become more powerful, and to protect a village that had hated him. Part 2 showed his growth between Part 1 and Part 2, which might have been my favorite part of it (Even though he's not my favorite character). The only sudden power boost given to him was the one from the Sage of Six Paths, really. In Part 1, all he really did was talk about what he'd do. Part 2 is when he took action, and pushed himself to his limits. Not that he never did that in Part 1, but Part 2 really showed his commitment. He didn't just let others do the work for him, but he continued to do his own part in the village.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm completely fine if you prefer Part 1. I just wanted to give my own thoughts about what you said. I'd only have an issue if you went and whined about how Shippuden is complete trash, like some people seem to do.

 

(Sorry if any of this seemed kind of rude, not really in the best condition at the moment.)

To be honest, that's what I imagined as Kakashi's face But without the mole of course, WHY THE MOLE

 

[Shulk 8,623]

Okay, finally read the chapter.

 

 

Holy freaking crap... I wasn't expecting all of this in the chapter. I'm really liking the new characters so far. I'm hoping we'll see more of the others soon, and hopefully get to see some action. I'm really curious about the whole Sarada/Karin thing, too. I definitely can't wait to see how everything goes! This is a great start to part 3, and I can't wait until next Monday!

 

 

 

 

Woooow, okay Sensei, though i never implied Sasuke banged Karin, "Karin" isn't even in my post.I said Sasuke hit it and QUIT it WITH Sakura because Sarada stated Sasuke wasn't around when she was born. The similarities is ridiculous, but WHY would Sasuke go for Karin? He literally almost murdered her and did a half-azzed apology.Also I apologized for not putting my previous post in status (even though people should expect other people to be discussing the new chapter and not browsing forums that are likely to be discussing the new chapter - EVERY week.)

 

 

I've been following this thread since Part 2 was going on, and didn't expect to drop in on Thursday to see spoilers all over the place. Even back when Part 2 was going on, we all used spoiler tabs for people who hadn't had the chance to read chapters yet. You really can't tell if a new notification is some sort of news on the movie, other news like the reveal of Kakashi's face, or someone talking about the chapter. As the only one here who's waiting for the official release of these chapters, I really appreciate it when people put their thoughts in spoiler tags.

I just wanted to point out, there were some very obvious weaknesses in the writing. I do wish Naruto didn't get the the main character syndrome/treatment, like it would have been nice if Sasuke was the child of prophecy, but Naruto ended up saving everyone. This would retain all his hard work. Or if Naruto wasn't part of the Ashura bloodline and he wasn't a reincarnation. I wish he was really, mostly just a product of hard work, since that's what he stood for to begin with. Instead, it just came out like Naruto was always meant to do this and that, he always had the power to do everything, and no matter what he did, he would always end up saving the world.

Sorry about that. I forgotten you went the official way after finding out about the digital releases. I was tired at the time and didn't consider any of that information spoiler.

Overall: 7/10

 

This guy points out a lot of faults. He pronounces Neji wrong though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh great, freaking King of Lightning. Another "YouTube anime community" guy... I've spoken about this before, so I'll just stop there.

 

Anyways: bullshit to "the fall of Naruto Uzumaki." People just loooooove to ride that crap, don't they? In hindsight, it just feels like trite coming from Neji fanboys who are still upset that he's dead.

 

And yes, I know I'm being harsh with this, but this is something I've gone over before and its a topic that I like to throw in the pile of "Shit Naruto Fans(?) Say About The Series". I don't really like talking about it, as you can see.

 

Here's my main point: Naruto has never been given anything to him. Ever.

 

Not even Kurama was given to him. He was sealed inside him, yes, but did the Fox allow him to use his power correctly? No. He had to FIGHT the thing inside his own head. With the help of his dead mother. 

 

So what if he's the son of the Fourth Hokage. DOY. We all knew that in Part I. Or at least we, the more analytical fans, knew that. It's not like his father gave him any power either. Sure, he fixes his seal in the Pain Arc. That was a one time deal, and frankly, it was needed. Naruto didn't even get any power from it either. It just allowed him to break free of Kurama's influence for the time being and focus on using his OWN power, the Sage Mode, to finish off Pain.

 

And he was called the Child of Prophecy... so were Minato and Nagato, and even Madara and Hagoromo to an extension at one point. And guess what? They all f*cked it up. In different ways of course. That alone should tell you that fate is not set in stone if fate literally has to be picky about which student of Jiraiya, even if he has more than one, gets to actually succeed and fulfill the prophecy. Not even the Sage Of Six Paths, a character who is similar to Jesus Christ in the Naruto world, both in characterization and power, screwed up.

 

Also, let me dive into the Neji portion of the argument, because that's the worst offender. See, what people don't get is that when Neji made the proclamation that one's fate is sealed, he was still an asswipe. A somewhat justified asswipe, mind you, but still an asswipe. And in that state of being an asswipe, he felt that Naruto's fate was to be a washed up loser... and he was obviously right, now wasn't he? I think we know the answer to that question. See, this is what I mean: it's almost like a meta-commentary on the whole "fate" thing with Neji's views being the construct that is being commented on. Neji's views are defied by Naruto, who proves to him that he's not destined to be a loser and accomplish great things. Still, how does Naruto achieve these great things in the series? Is it by just sitting on his butt and waiting for his greatness to happen. Absolutely not. He still had to train, he still had to endure hardships, he still had to learn lessons, and he still had to overcome great odds in order to become the person he is at the end of the series. Naruto would have never become Hokage if he just decided to expect things to be handed to him. Naruto has never believed in that philosophy, not even once. He was never born with talent, he was a crappy student in the Academy. He was never a gifted prodigy, even the most basic of techniques were baffling for him to comprehend. And he sure wasn't born with smarts, because... well that one is obvious. I think I've made my point clear enough. 

 

This argument that Naruto's philosophy of being a hard worker in Part I and then flip-flopping in Part II is honestly just ridiculous and it leaves out a lot of key information and basic logic. It's just another excuse to bash Part II as a whole, which is something I have never gotten from any sort of angle or reason.

This are really good points and quite eye-opening. I think I was just over-thinking and putting a lot of weight on the whole prophecy + Asura thing.

This isn't entirely Naruto related, but an interview came out featuring Mashashi Kishimoto and Einchiro Oda, the author of One Piece.

 

They discuss their relationship, how Mr. Kishimoto looked up to Mr. Oda, and how they used to compete with each other when they were making Naruto and One Piece respectively.

Awesome! I'll definitely buy them when they're released out here. All of them sound really cool!

 

Hopefully the Sakura one will make me feel at least neutral to the Sakura/Sasuke pairing. Still bothered by how quickly Sasuke's feelings for her turned from "You're annoying I don't like you," to "I love you let's have a daughter."

And then how "I love you let's have a daughter" turned into

"Ok i'm leaving to do my own shit, have fun taking care of YOUR child" and ditches for 12 years. :

True love right there... I'm really hoping Kishomoto actually gets some development between the two soon. I love Naruto (the series, not the character ._. he's cool but I don't like him that way) to death, but Sakura and Sasuke's relationships is one of the few things in the series that legitimately bothers me. It felt so... rushed. I mean, a lot of the pairings seemed a bit strange, but this pairing consists of two of the most important characters in the series. They could have been given a bit more development together before a daughter was thrown in our faces.

 

I'm kind of holding out for the possibility that Kishimoto held out on giving them development for the whole Karin subplot that Sarada's getting. That's the only reason I can really think of for the lack of an explanation for how they got together. Heck, if they hadn't given them that moment during chapter 699, it wouldn't be so bad. Having Sasuke show affection for her at the end is what implied that his opinion changed in the course of a couple hours or a few days, which is ridiculous.

Agreed.

Although Sasuke is returning to train Boruto's group, so we'll possibly get more insight on Sasuke and his deal with Sakura through Sasuke himself.

 

 

Also, Sasuke and Sakura's relationship over the course of the series over all has been weird. It went from starting with Sasuke seeing Sakura as annoying and Sakura having the typical "cool guy crush", then to Sakura somehow being able to calm Sasuke from his Chi Mark rampage in the Chunin Exams by hugging him (implying that he might actually have feelings for Sakura as well), then fast forward to him leaving the village, he's shown to be grateful to Sakura trying to stop him from leaving in a fond manner before leaving anyway, and then come 5 Kage Summit and The War/Madara arcs, he's back to seeing her as annoying (no surprise there) and tries to legit. kill her, then in the course of a few hours/days after his last battle with Naruto he's back to having some feelings for her, and then back to apparently not giving a shit about her after they have their kid period.

 

I swear, i like Sasuke, but his characterization and motives and feelings are so horribly written. MAKE UP YOUR FREAKING MIND ON WHAT YOU WANT HIM TO BE KISHIMOTO! @_@

Uh, he's a confused and messed up individual who has had to have his world view changed more than once over the series.

 

Of course he's going to flip-flop in terms of characterization.

I know that, but even so, it was relatively consistent up until after he actually had his legit. fight with Itachi. After that it was all over the place with his motives and actions, and the fact that he literally gets over his entire hate deal with Naruto and the leaf period after wanting to literally massacre Naruto, the Kages and make a Revolution within the Leaf Village in a matter of hours after his last battle with Naruto. It wasn't paced well enough, it was rushed. And that in turn, affected the SasuSaku ship in terms of his feelings to Sakura suddenly resurfacing after 4 years of not giving a shit for her.

And then he just leaves their kid with her too after supposedly reforming and returning fully from his "clarity exploration" to clear his path. :
