Who else thinks that Kaguya was forced into manga so people can see the Bolt movie?

Was this Kaguya's purpose?

That's the only reason for her to be there, tbh.

"You want to know what Kaguya needed an army for? Go see the movie!"

the movie could have been about anything and people would still watch it.

Obviously Kishi and co. wanted more people in the theater than usual.

Kaguya is Kishi's greed personified.

Maybe, Kaguya should have been the FV for the movie whereas Madara should have closed out being the FV in the main series apart from Sasuke because everyone expected Naruto vs Sasuke to happen. It was most likely forced to introduce the origins of the Otosutsuki Clan.

Kaguya Hime is one of Japan's oldest folk tales. Kishi just dropped the ball in forshadowing and developing it. Reducing it to an 11 chapter filler as the manga was winding down, and then asspulling a retcon to explain her lack of development in the first place.

I always thought she was thrown in to justify The Last plot.

The mythology background is the reason why jap fan liked kaguya. Had SJ given him more chapters to work with it would've been alot better.

Or that could/should have been what the Gaiden was about.

Is SJ Kishi's editor?


Yeah, Kaguya influences a lot of Japanese culture and productions. Off the top of my head, you have

The Studio Ghibli film last year.
Inuyaha
Sailor Moon
Other animes.
Novels, TV shows, etc


From the moment Obito made the declaration of War, there were 227 chapter until the ending. With as long and bloated as the War arc was, Kishi should've cut the war arc by 50-100 chapters in order to tell Kaguya's story, the Juubi, and the histories of the clans that come from Kaguya: Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, Kaguya (Kimimaro), and Hyuga. It's not like he didn't have proxy characters to act through.

Kinda. I felt like she was there just to expand the series a bit but i do think kishi tried to develop her but just quit due to the deadline.

Manga foreshadowed her quite a bit and bluntly showed her before her revival. Although the fight was forced, like many things in the series
