It's depressing.

[Princessu Kaaantchan]

When a character that's required a monumental amount of handed powerups in a series, is at such a state that they are eligible for being within the top-ten strongest within their respective show yet they still require multiple psudeo-enhancements to remain relevant to the story. It's quite a shame. In a way, it makes you wonder how said character would fare if the plethora of gifts were taken away...

I think in the end it really makes you appreciate those that are capable of holding their own without a genetic pre-disposition towards being skilful, or any outside assistance of any kind, take Might Guy, Minato, Kisame (Without Samehada, I suppose.) or the current Gokage as an example (Aside from Mei's Kekkei Genkai.).

I agree on some. I kaaant agree on all tho. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Princessu Kaaantchan]

Hiruzen as well.

That's a different concept entirely, why have powerups when you have Hype?

The butthurt.

Is it? All I'm doing is labelling something that's been a cause for the quality of such a series as this to go downhill :s. I don't see the problem.

 

[AlphaScythian]

So what now? Might gai would be better villain? Like for a minute in 8th gate?

You're the one who said it's depressing...just saying.

I think you're missing the point; villains have to get stronger, or else there's no story. The writer cap accomplish this however he chooses.

I think a story starts to suffer when a character requires someone else's power in order to develop, rather than by their own.
