Why Naruto Manga lost its sparks.

[Namar]

I'll make it short guys.

What made Naruto great was actually early part 1 when he was still painting Hokage faces.

In that part Kishimoto was really doing a good job at making us feel the restraints on the ninja:

1. He made us feel the peril of depleting the chakra reserves. Remember when we were thinking "Oh, omg what will he do now. He's almost out of chakra."
2. He made us understand that Naruto is the only person born with high chakra reserves and unique traits because of Kurama.
3. Back then fights were inteligent fights. Not just Rush forward with speed and done. That's what all characters do in Shippuden. Everyone except Madara I believe.
4. When the Byakugan and the Sharringan were really used for detecting Chakra points or movement prediction.


Now, it seems everyone has Naruto's chakra reserve(I'm not talking about the kurama cloak) The fear of death from using too much chakra is gone.
Fights are bland as ****. Naruto just rushes forward and so does Sasuke there is no more mistery. Kishi probably thought that if he surprises the readers with Kaguya or JJ skin everyone would go ape shit when Naruto is all about being a ninja, hiding, using the brain, etc.


I hope you guys feel the same. For me, this is why part 2 of Naruto lost the Spark. Part 1 was great. From the dark untameable atmosphere to the action in it. I loved how Naruto had a demon like last resort power that could save everyone.

Thanks,

I liked part 2 way more than part 1.

 

[SenseiSama]

It lost its spark because Sharingan was nerfed, Mangekyo was overused and Rinnegan was passed around more than joint at a Bob Marley concert.

 

[Ansatsuken]

Because of Rin:bdpf:

haha yeah Naruto part 2 became like a samurai type instead of ninja.

All out rather than stealth.

Not gonna lie, he could've been smart and mixed and mash them together but I just felt like he was just so done.

Dude did not get a break. I understand that. Have you been worked out for 15 years without catching a break? well he obviously did from work but when he did, he had to deal with criticism and interviews and such. The guy was burnt out AF.

he really should've done seasonal rather than weekly, at least SP would have some time to make the animations great.
They have the capability to do it as The Last movie was astounding and the Boruto was on par with Unlimited Blade Works animation.

That's with the studio on split focus and effort. Imagine the entire studio doing only one project and seasonal rather than weekly.

Part 1 was way better. The fights were detailed af and it was enjoying to see. Part 2 was repeated af and was quite bland except for a few fights. Literally the same moves would be spammed and the plot was trash.

I think 50% of the problems in part 2 can be fixed from not ever having edo tensei be part of the 4th Great War. No edo tensei means no op people brought back to life just to die again in some dumb way and also means no madara resurrection which means no op asspulls where madara can do whatever he wants which means no kaguya summoning because madara isn't edo tenseid which means no alien galactic superpowers being used against shinobi which means the final villian would have been obito who had a well balanced character in terms of skill and not overpowered

A ninja (忍者 ?) or shinobi (忍び ?) was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination, and open combat in certain situations.

Thats what went wrong.

It's a studio. They have lots of employees and lots of other projects. HR is not their issue. It's as you said the short time between episodes in which they have to decide how to create the animation.

You are wrong, the sparks is still there. :Sparks:

well the open combat was very spot on if you ask me..

A bit overdone to the point it's almost DBZ. (although I prefer DB's prolonged fighting rather than Naruto's barrage of flashback/fillers)

As many people said. Naruto was drawn to end with the Pain Arc. But, then Kishi saw the potential and because he wanted more money for something already Hyped. Well, he just did it.

The reason why the rest of the Shippuden part feels so wrong after Pain is because it's all a week by week invention.

It would have been much better if it had bring monthly, but the war arc is one of my favorite arcs.

 

[Conspirator.]

Good thread, I agree.

 

[Ansatsuken]

But he not giving Kishi free premium to help spark his manga. Jk:Sparks:

 

[PlatinumTitan]

Part two was good until the end of the Pain arc, after that...I think Kishi just wanted to milk it for money.

 

[KesOnFire]

^^^Pein arc was the best

 

[Kaneki Kun]

Really the War Arc?
I give you props for voicing your opinion.

 

[Pumpkin Ninja]

There was not much fear of death in the war. We knew the end result and we were just waiting to see how it was gonna unveil. The fights could have been much better and the constant power ups (not to mention lame ones) made it worse.

Also, us fans ruined it, we were too preoccupied with who's stronger at the moment and wanking our faves than enjoying the ride. At least here on NB.

 

[To Whatever]

Part 1 needed an hiatus a 1-2 year one. Part 2 would have been more fleshed out
