We have been getting titles for the past 686 chapters. However whenever I tried to reconcile some titles to their chapters i have read, i see no connection.

The bulk of the chapters had nothing to do with the title except for a few. I wonder how Kishi chooses the titles because some of them seems too random.
So what do you guys think about the titles?.

Not sure what chapters you are referring too, but the titles [especially recently] all have a direct and obvious connection to the chapter.

There was some connection in the last two though.

Give me some of the titles that you don't think make sense, and I'll see if I can find a meaning to them. Usually the titles sound pretty obvious to me...

I would stick to some recent ones

684~must be killed
682~ I'm sure you have never seen this
679~ the beginning of everything
678~ we will

Those and some older ones.

Some make sense, others don't.

A lot of them, if I remember correctly, are something that a character said in the chapter.

Yeah if look at it that way, but I don't see their bearing on the entire chapter.

684: The chapter is about Kaguya trying to kill Naruto as her goal is to kill them both separately so she can go fight Sasuke next. The name "Must be Killed" Refers to her having to kill Naruto, and as you can see in the chapter, she thinks she does.

682: The title refers to the move that Naruto used in that chapter, which was his reverse harem jutsu. Even with experiencing much in Kaguya's life time and knowing normal Jutsu won't work, Naruto went with something that no one but him would think up, a jutsu kaguya has never seen before!

679: The title is also has been translated to "she of the beginning". Either way, I would say it means that Kaguya is where everything began, since she was the original bearer of chakra. She is the beginning of the ninja world, or the beginning of everything in this series.

678: The chapter is actually entitled, "my will". This most likely refers to black zetsu being the will of madara, but actually turns out to not be his will and actually crushes Madara's by killing him. Thus turning Madara's view of his will completely upside down, and showing that he is not in charge!

Oh I see, that's great. I never knew mistranslations also accounted for lack of sense in some of the titles.
That chapter we will also let me doubt if Kishi was really serious about titles. There was another title with We will, what do you think about that one too.

Also not everything I say can be confirmed to be true of course, but these are my views on the chapters and they make sense to me at least!


chapter 673: It is entitled something like "We Will!" The title of the chapter refers to Naruto and Sasuke defeating Madara together. The chapter isn't I will, but We will! Also not all chapter titles are going to refer to the entirety of that chapter, for instance in this one Sasuke isn't even present most of the chapter but the chapters name is we will because it is the defining moment of the chapter.

Okay no probs.

So another bad interpretation, I see. But those kind of chapters are the ones I find problem with. Because I think the title should revolve around the whole chapter.

Yeah, In general I think a title revolving around a whole chapter would probably be the best. But when there are key points to be used as chapter titles, and you can't think of anything that encompasses the entirety of the chapter, Why not use that as the chapter title instead? I think that is what Kishi does if he can't think of something to define the majority of the chapter, he picks a strong moment in the chapter and bases the title around that, which I think is fine.

Okay, if that was his point of view, I would agree with it.
