How come Mei is not the Mizukage?

[Tantalus Thief]

In chap. 700 we see Choujoro is the new Mizukage which makes me confused since Mei does not look like she aged that much. Any ideas why?

 

[TheEvilOne]

She is 45-46.

Chojuro most likely surpassed her, therefore Mei stepped down.

 

[Savage Predator]

Because neg generation bullshit

 

[Jokey]

Because... well, Kishi.

 

[Nattana]

Kishimoto desperately sticks to the rule that new generations HAVE TO surpass the older ones.

 

[Tobi98]

It has passed like 12 years, Mei has passed her prime Chojuro is in his prime, he is probably stronger then her so she stepped down

 

[Xlad]

You didn't pay close attention to Mei's appearance, did you?

 

[Xēnovia.]

Don't under estimate him just look at this.[

To show the new generation

 

[Prog]

She stepped down to go look for man.

She looks fine to me. Hasn't aged a day. But she looks sick in ch. 700.

 

[FemmeFatale]

She went on her journey for love, and failed

kishi no jutsu

She was getting too old, and most likely the next generation (whatever his name is-chojuro) surpassed her.

looks like lord suigetsu solod dat fodder and took his sword before the epilogue

 

[MinaButt]

Chojuro most likely surpassed her.

 

[DeadNin]

Even if he had surpassed her in ability, i still don't think he qualifies to be a kage. Just like Sarutobi told Orochimaru he wouldn't let him become hokage because of his ideology.
Maybe throughout the years he changed his personality... because you know, sometimes Kishimoto likes to change character's personalities like it's underwear...

 

[Killua Zoldyck]

Better question is why Ōnoki is still not the Tsuchikage, that is quite puzzling.

Chojuro lacked confidence. He doesn't lack it anymore, as seen in 700.

 

[Stxluciferr]

Out of fear of Lawd Sasukes wrath all the previous kages step down, accept Gaara because him the Lawd go way back
