[Discussion] Ashura Naruto Parrallel?

[valandil988]

What about Naruto's whisker marks? They take front stage in Biju mode but Ashura has no such identifying marks like that he looks like a Senju lol, kinda like Hashirama. Are the marks a purely Kyuubi thing?

So as we can see Naruto has been set up to parallel Ashura in a big way.

Ashura's biju mode apparently looks the same as Naruto's, not only that but Ashura created a mode combined from all 9 of the biju cooperating together that's why it looks so different compared to Naruto's Kurama mode.

But I thought Naruto was supposed to be the first person to create a unified Biju mode from a true cooperation of all the biju that's what the sage said in his prophecy. Now we learn that Naruto is just retracing Ashura's steps and that Ashura has already wielded this power.

So my question is doesn't this take away from Naruto's character?

Do we like this?

You don't know how many Bijuus Ashura had or even if he had one. All you have is assumption. For all we know he had only Kurama. Wait for the next chapters, so we can know for sure.​

Its not an assumption, its a logical analysis. The biju at the time were smaller and had less chakra, in order to match a PS Susanoo they would all have to work together. This accounts for the odd look of his Biju mode as it is not just one biju working with Ashura its all 9.

you're speculating a lot

Naruto's BM Could be the fact that he has ashura's charka inside of him, after all he was the pinnacle, for an amazing lifeforce and chakra. I Personally think ashura's cloak at the end is due to his powerful chakra.

Because usually BM resorts into transforming into the actual beast, with the beast characteristics = Fur / Teeth / ECT, so imho, naruto's bm is based off of the fact that ashura's chakra has reborned into him.

-BUT, it could be possible that the tailed beasts where inside ashura, as they had a lot of respect for his father, so they might of wanted to repay ashura, for how his father treated them, ECT, It'll all become clear soon tbh.

let's all agree narutos bijuu, mode makes no sense. he should just look like kurama. you might argue that it's due to Having partial nine tails, but now that makes no sense

we really need to wait till next week to make these particular threads. we know jack about their powers. as the bijuu where still young at this point, how would they have made something that looks like that? according to the sages words, ashura and indra became equals as ashuras own chakra bloomed. therefore we can assume before being told otherwise that it's his own power that he is using, not a bijuu's power. why would the bijuu be just split only to be brought right back together?

 

[Zealous Sparks]

Ashura's power looking the way it did is simply to create a better parallel between Ashura and Naruto. If Ashura would have been shown using Wood Style or Chakra chains (two powers that Naruto does not possess) the parallel would not fit as well.

A bijuu mode looking thing vs Perfect Susanoo between Ashura and Indra parallels Naruto and Sasukes final fight with Naruto's Bijuu Sage Mode(with the appearance possibly changed by the awakening of Naruto's own unique chakra or the chakra of the other bijuu) vs. Sasuke's larger Perfect Susanoo with Enton.

We dont know if Ashura was even a tailed beast host because Naruto looks different than other jinchuurikis it could be also assumed that he looks that way only because Ashuras chakra so it could be like Ashuras version of Susano.
So just be patient and everything(hopefully)will be expained.
