Bio

Greetings, I am a member of an alien race from a distant and weird dimension. I happen to have a developed a taste for role-playing on the human internet and I am looking for a good community. I am very interested in joining Pulp Fiction, superheroes, Naruto and fantasy roleplays.

I don't care what anyone says, I'll take Tobi over Obito any day lol

<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>

It was a month. They were to train a month after the second test for the third. The episodes made it seem like a week, since Naruto was passed out for most of it and training to summon stuff.


I just read that. Still it feels like a bad move on Kishimoto's part
@Weird TalesBut didn't sasuke spend a whole month training with Kakashi to get up to Lee's speed? Spending a whole month building up ones speed isn't hard work?


*correction* it apparently was a month
@Weird TalesOh yeah, that's a 100% bullshit. It's been awhile since I last watched the original show, so I forgot about that.


Kishimoto had some really great character ideas, but he didn't let them flourish and instead focused on Naruto and Sasuke more, which to me was a mistake. Naruto to me was always better when the focus was on the world and all of the mysterious techniques and ninjas within it.
@Weird TalesI forgot, wasn't it taxing on his body or something? I don't have trouble seeing Sasuke being able to push himself to weighted Lee speeds for his Lion Barrage technique, but feeling like shit afterwards. It seems possible within his skill set to be able to push himself to that while copying lee's movements. If tjere wasn't a real drawback, though, then yeah, that's bull.


I was referring to his fight with Gaara where he apparently learned how to move at Lee's unweighted speeds. That was just stretching and seemed ridiculous. It was almost like a middle finger to the concept of hard working ninja being able to go up against the prodigies and win.


That's some Mary Sue shit right there
@Weird TalesYeah, I definitely would like to just get some other stories about more of the Jinnchuriki, like Yagura, Fuu, the steam guy, Roshi, all of them. I think Sasuke was okay until he started getting his major power boner near the end of the first show and defected, which started his long downward spiral as a character for me. Like, Sasuke should be one of my favorites given my tastes, but I can't fuckin' stand him and never will, nor understand why people do. He's just not a good character in my eyes.


For me the first mistake Kishimoto made was allowing Sasuke to learn how to move at incredible speeds like Lee within such a short amount of time when it was clearly stated that his Sharingan could not grant him the ability to perform such strenuous techniques without being physically capable of the moves.
@Weird TalesOh yeah, I was talking about in Shippuden because that was the focus, but Gaara vs Lee is easily one of the top, if not the top fights of the entire show.

Edit: It's also kinda weird how it foreshadows what happens to Might Guy years later in Shippuden when he finds himself in a similar situation against Madara.


See in my opinion one of the problems with Naruto was that Kishimoto decided to focus more on Sasuke and the Uchiha and didn't allow other characters to flourish as much. Originally Sasuke wasn't a character in the initial idea for the manga, but the publishers decided that he needed to have a rival character for Naruto. I would have preferred to see Naruto focus on all nine of the jinchuriki, and instead we got Naruto and his quest to get back Sasuke.
I still find Lee vs Gaara to be the best fight in all of Naruto. I remember my mouth falling open and my eyes going wide when his weights hit the ground like that. Also the fight animation quality just looked better in the original series compared to Shippuden.

@Weird Tales No.... that's a weakened Sasuke who just fought Itachi. Full powered Sasuke can solo Bee.

Best fight is Madara soloing Sauce and Nardo.


I find that jinchuriki always have the advantage of massive chakra levels and once in full sync with the tailed beast can go toe to toe with any Uchiha except the ones with the EMS.

Also I found this fight to be more entertaining and come on it involved a guy wielding eight swords lol
