Naruto Anonymous 04/24/2025 (Thu) 18:58:49 Id: 19fb46 No. 54544
Was Tsunade REALLY an awful Hokage?
>>54544 She jobbed to part 1 Kabuto. Elders didn't even want her, they wanted Jiraiya.
(424.04 KB 1303x2048 FeKNX0nVQAQAXFC.jpg_large.jpg)

>>54544 Amazing feats overshadowed by typical Japanese author hatred of strong female characters She loses points for not going out there to piece up pain and show she's the strongest in the village People wanted to see her walk pains ass down and her being completely absent from the Fight with the big bad severely hurt her hype. He followed it up with having her fight the second strongest ninja in the verse and getting dumpstered.
>>54567 Power wise, Tsunade was done dirty despite being a Senju. Kishimoto could explored something with her being the grand daughter of Hashirama and the pressure that comes along with it
>>54561 Psychosomatic shit gets a pass and even adds depth to her character A medic afraid of blood because everyone she loved was brutally murdered? Poetry.
Newfig here, why do some /a/nons hate Naruto so much? Never watched it seriously btw.
>>54561 >Elders didn't even want her What did those shitters even do? At least Tsunade attempted to face Pain and actually participated in the war.
>>54579 Its genuinely a shamed he couldnt be assed to care about his characters or setting in part 2. For alot Boruto does wrong expanding the world building and giving its supporting cast some depth is what it does better than Naruto
>>54592 Typical old fucks in power just bitched and complained and didn't want to give up their influence
>>54606 I remember on old forums when the manga was running and then the anime, people didn’t like the beginning of part 2. >there’s too much Sasuke, Naruto feels like a side character >the fights have become DBZ-ified >why won’t Naruto win a fight >Naruto is becoming too obsessed with Sasuke Pain arc saved part 2

Sakura cute
>>54607 Sir, your cloud ninja women?
Where are the breastfeeding Tsunade doujins?
>>54616 Asuma arc kind of sucked outside of shikamaru and the last fight yeah it was sad and emotional but it felt empty Honestly I was to hard on the Naruto obsesses over saving Sasuke plot over becoming closer to Hokage because he was right what kind of Hokage can't even save one friend of course those were ideals he only imposed on himself the taijutsu is still there but got completely outshined by rasenshuriken type jutsus
>>54644 I didn't really care about Asuma all that much. I thought Kakuzu and especially Hidan were great.
I remember when Mei art was everywhere, and I always liked her design. What happened?
>>54716 Word it showed how cool the Akatsuki could be Hidan seemed like a straight menace

>>54544 titties Titties TITTIES
>>54544 as Hokage yes she was bad since was just there to fill a void but I still want to fuck her so bad along with these two >>54624 Tsunade>those two>Hinata>=Hanabi(boruto)>rest
>>54544 Kishi was sexist, TsuTsu was already an adminstrative head of Konohas Medical Corps back in her youth yet doing some paperwork is le hard for her
>>54582 Its silly as blood and gore is being a ninja 101
She was made to be impregnated by young boys
>>55026 Her trauma was deep
>>54561 kabuto is jonin tier. remember, 9 year old kakashi is a jonin.

>becomes a tree in your path
>>54746 If I was in the Naruto world I would confess my love for these two bags and be so sincere they couldn't help but sigh and throw me a pity fuck
Was Hinata REALLY a good mom?
>>56952 She comes from a good rich family at least.
>>56952 Niggers really love Naruto
>sent Jiraiya alone to die Yeah tbh
>>58715 Boruto could redeem all its hate into goodwill with one simple trick
>>54544 Tsunade was fine because all characters with screentime has to fuck up or lose to make the story progress. She was the Kage for the majority of Naruto's runtime, therefore she had to fuck up or lose a lot to justify there being a story. Someone like Kakashi cheated because his entire career was off-screened, on the other hand someone like Sarutobi ate shit bad because he was kage for the most of the temporal duration of the series's backstory. Minatol, for example, died after like a year, max.
>>54583 https://youtu.be/LMKml4lefOc?si=ae5Wdl1kuBrUCLPm This may not explain everything but it explains a good reason why it’s kinda turned into a walking punchline depending on who you ask.
>>54544 The only thing she did was make Sakura less of a useless jobber
I love young Tsunade no baachan
>>54583 Naruto is a gateway anime of the worst kind. It's a bad series, a clusterfuck of story and characterization that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive shipping faggotry and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad. However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The superpowered characters all trying their hardest to look cool, the jutsus, peculiar, colorful clothes, the whole ninja faggotry and everything about the Naruto world fuels their escapist fantasies, while the pity-party character backgrounds, emphasis on revenge, and overall preachiness of the series make it fit just right with the mary-sueish drives of your average jewish and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up. Naruto is basically THE series to attract the most hated anime fanbase known to /a/, which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this show and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Naruto threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.

>>54583 It was explosively popular back in the day (hence why it has the most fanfiction of any anime) and since it had that many fans, it also flooded into all sorts of conversations at the time, add to that the tendency of fans of one show to bicker over which is better (harkening back to the Dragon Ball Z days) and you get resentment. Honestly tiresome at this point. TL;DR: It was popular, which made hating on it popular too, to the point where ironic shitposting became an actual mindset. >>64181 That video is retarded as fuck, and I've been critical of Naruto's ending since it came out, there are better critiques out there than this.
>>67931 Naruto is a gateway anime of the best kind. It's a great series, with a story and characterization that is very well done in most aspects, and which bolsters its strengths with great character development and a dark, complicated plot adding in parallels and scenic storytelling. Your average anon is hopefully intelligent enough to see this as the benchmark it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, all the while recognizing that the series itself, regardless of their opinion, is very well thought out and deserves recognition and respect; It isn't perfect but its good moments far outweigh its flaws. Not only that but this series serves as a breeding ground for passionate fans of all kinds - artists, analysts, cosplayers, kids and adults alike who engage in fun discussions both online and in the real world, inspired by an elaborate world of ninja militarism. The superpowered characters all looking damn cool, with elaborate jutsus, colorful, unique and memorable character designs, and the whole shinobi system and world building. Everything about Naruto brings fans together, while the deep backstories, emphasis on the cycle of hatred hammering home themes of friendship, passing the torch, and breaking the cycle creating an overall relatability to almost anyone and their sense of trying to find their place in the world.
>>54746 >What happened? Boruto. Boruto happened.
>>55921 need more futa Tsunade on the girls and random girls fromt the Village
>>68978 That's more a request for >>>/futa/ Here though
>>56952 She seems fine from what little I've seen of Boruto. All of the 'issues' with their family is the forced drama with Naruto because Kishi is a hack.
>>69032 Except he isn't? Boruto wasn't written by Kishi until the Isshiki arc. The only parts that Kishi wrote was Boruto being a brat initially, but even then it was more of a one off gag that got turned into family drama. Blame Ike and his pals.
>>69033 Boruto X Hinata is best

>>69936 Shizune is based and underrated. Best Onee-san in the series.
>>70786 It's a.shame she will never experience a dick in her life
>>70789 Not with that attitude
>>54644 I don't think he was right at all, because it's not Naruto's responsibility what Sasuke chooses to do. Sure it's a failure, but the series goes on to show that each Hokage has left one devastating failure after the other, none of which involve someone else's choice. It also shows just how horribly misled Naruto is as a character about what being Hokage is, and the fact that he never takes the steps to learn more about what it actually means instead of his own childish perception of it is why the whole Sasuke thing was insufferable. It got so bad that the fan girls pretending they were just gay legitimately began to have a point. More time was spent on Sasuke as a way to justify this, and it ended up warping the entire fucking manga around him and his clan. Hashirama had to become a supergod because of it, Hiruzen got turned into a total retard, Danzo's entire joke existence, etc... You know it got ridiculous when the motherfucker got his own version of Team 7 with Jugo as the extra version of himself, meanwhile Naruto was too retarded to figure out a one handed rasengan, or actually move up in the ranks of ninja and learn what it meant to be Hokage in the exact same timeframe.
>>54583 Because it is ultimately a retarded story. It's always trying its best to pretend its deeper than it really is, which leads to some smoothbrains pretending it is that deep because of some surface level reading. This in turn leads to people developing a severe hatred of it after the braindead fans who don't understand and like it for being a fun action manga run around everywhere shitting on everyone else, or pretending like the most blatant plot holes were always planned. It's the exact same reason why JJK ended up attracting hate, or why AoT did too. It's the epitome of pseudo-intellectual drivel that spends so much time trying to ascend above its genre it doesn't even satisfy its original requirements as a shounen. Everything cool gets shit on, everything lame gets chased, and nothing interesting happens for long. Naruto is in essence the manga version of cocaine. For a short time you feel good, so you keep chasing those short moments, until you wake up one day and realize you're surrounded by dogshit, and none of the things you put up with for it were worth it or sensible.
>>73429 >which leads to some smoothbrains pretending it is that deep because of some surface level reading. Did people really use to do that with naruto? Maybe I just wasn't as online during its peak but I mostly saw it getting clowned on for that especially with the whole talk no jutsu thing. I've definitely seen that with jjk though
>>73436 I see it to this day with people pretending Pain is the best written antagonist ever, and that Naruto has anything complex to say about the nature of hatred and war. There are people who unironically say Sasuke had the right idea, or that the story is super well written without a hint of irony. If you frequent video essays, or forums back in the day it was basically the default assumption for most of the people talking in its favor. That one shitpost copypasta is right in calling it a gateway drug of the worst kind, because for most people getting into anime, Naruto is the first story they see which involves these themes, and they're too young to know Jack shit about the world necessary to understand the reality of them.
>>73436 Naruto was effectively the JJK of it's time anon. That pseud-creep has gotten so bad that they threw naruto under the bus long ago to prop up their FOTM trash is another matter entirely. >>73441 >If you frequent video essays A lot of video essayist goyim still defend naruto to this day funnily enough, they just preface it with a "I know naturo has flaws BUT..."
>>73470 They do a lot more than just defend it. I literally saw some retard saying that Hebi Sasuke coming up with a hawk summon out of fucking nowhere within the timespan of getting his mangekyo and fighting Danzo with no explanation isn't a plot hole because we don't know how characters like Danzo himself got his summon. They're totally dishonest idiots.
>>73497 That sounds on par with the course with "this is so deep and mature" fags honestly. Dunno why are you surprised about that.
