Series should've been named "Shinobi"

[Rikud0u]

Title. I don't really care what the name is, but I feel naming the series "Naruto" has eliminated any surprise factor included in the outcome of a "Naruto vs. Sasuke" fight, or in any conflict that has occurred thus far in the series.

Thoughts?

Nah... I like Naruto.
It's not the name that disturbs me, it's just that none of this was foreshadowed in Part 1 and it should've been expanded upon more. I you'd have told me during part 1 that they would be facing a god with her grandchildrens power ups and the abilities to give and take life, and busting mountains I wouldn't have believed you.

It should been called dbz warrior wannabes this series has nothing ninja in it or shinobi related

 

[Meee]

Naruto being the main still eliminates the suprise factor, the main rarley ever loses in the end.

 

[Sakka]

If it makes any difference... I don't think Sasuke is going to die either so it doesn't really matter what the title is.

It should've been renamed "thieves" because kishimoto steals ideas.

Even tho in part one he suppose to be underdog or loser or clumsy whatever he had a better record than most other ninja in the village weird huh?

This is a first.

What ideas has Kishi stole?

 

[Da Best Ever]

The title "Naruto" is about the person naruto is and the deeds he gives the world not about him being unable to die or be beaten which is what you're trying to say.

Was still the underdog

Nobody thought he would win against Kiba He DID
People thought it was Luck saw Neji and was like ohyeah he lost
He beated Neji Suprised everyone nd ect
Beatted Gaara this where he wasnt a nobody anymore

Part 2 Seeing everyone power ups once again ect but he rose up

n*gga stole Kurapika and changed the name of his clan and eyes.

nah there is simmilarities everywhere in shounen so its whatever but HxH & early Naruto are hilariously simmilar.

its called naruto to keep you sasuke fanboys in check jking, or am I ?

the main character from ever shonen manga has always prevail, so naming it shinobi won't deminish the fact that naruto is the main character/ the protagonist of the story.

if you want to read or watch a an series where the main character is both the protagonist and the antagonist I would recommend code geass, but I am sure you probably have watch it before, if not go do it.

U switch it up nobody thought he beat neji Sakura his teammate thought that too but against kiba Sakura kakashi lee and Hinayana had rooted for him and it was all fights he won in part two didn't seem like wins to me like it was a stupid win imo

I feel the way Kishi has distributed the story amongst many different characters (dedicating chapters and arcs to certain characters) might've been a more potent way to tell the story had he named the series something else. Doing so would make it seem as if the manga was centered not around one protagonist, but around many.

That's the way naruto part 1 is which I love it didn't center only on naruto everyone had a moment to shine but then he abandoned that which was really good and focused on naruto obsession with sasuke and him turning him good

 

[so12p]

According to Kishimoto, it is the "...story about a boy named Naruto." Obviously there is a reason Kishimoto called it that.

 

[slaton02]

I said the same thing, it shouldve been called shinobi.

 

[Jnaru]

Naruto is more than a name now, he is like idols at least in NV... People like to follow him, wants to become like him,....he is there to Set example for others....sasuke cld hav done the same but Kishi doesn't want him to

 

[WalksInShadows]

the main theme of the story wouldn't make the outcomes any less obvious, even if the name of the series was something else. It's a Shonen manga, so the name doesn't matter. Based on that fact alone, the readers should know more often times than not that its main protagonist will have things going their way most of the time in the story.
