If he's dead I refuse to give a **** about Naruto anymore as a series. I'll go read something with ACTUALLY AMAZING STORYLINE... Like Bleach. Kishi should take a page or 2 out of Kubo's book.
One Piece is agrreable but Bleach??? Its so much based on Formula that anyone can write bleach these days.....
Basic Formula:
Arcs: Some kind of trouble (Soul Socity and Hueco Mando had the same basics of damsel in distress) -> People goes the solve the problem against all odds -> Makes new friends -> Fight new enemies -> get beaten back -> rescuers/helpers come-> get new power up -> Again fight -> main character saves the day-> End
Fights:
Boss: Never seen such spiritual pressure-> Fight begins-> Everyone says that they were holding back untill the villain reaches undefeatable state -> Get badly beaten up -> Get a power up or reveal still unrevealed technique -> win
Minion: OMG I so fabulous phase -> A stalemate -> Reveal True powers -> Win
Characters:
Sadly most of the characters except Uruyu, Chad, Ukitake, Byakuya has no in depth character...... mostly Ichigo: whose purpose in life is not known and thus is like one of the generic western comics.
