1: Read the rules, advertising is forbidden so if I see one more link to another forum I'm going to infract you. If you want to show that thread so badly, copy paste it, but absolutely don't link it.

2: You're being extremely biased and above all you're seriously wrong. The example in your first post is 100% wrong. That jutsu wasn't even used in the manga, so it's impossible to rip off.

Verdict - completely wrong

3: Nearly all the examples you have given are wrong. You already made a statement and now you're searching for things to back it up, but as a result you interpret things in the way they suit your statement, while it's just not true. I've read Hunter X Hunter a long time ago and I wasn't really impressed. You're comparing Amaterasu with that nen ability? The things they have similar are so common that it's ridiculous to call them rip off's. What you consider rip off's are on the same lvl as saying that someone is ripping you off because he too is wearing cloths.

Amaterasu and that nen ability don't even look similar in the slightest. As I recall that ability was some kind of fish that eats away at living things without killing them or even without making them feel pain in closed rooms. When the room is opened, the fish goes away and the living thing, or what is lef of it, dies of the injuries that appear. Amaterasu are black, undying flames that consume everything that's been gazed up on by the user in matter of minutes and can barely be extinguished. Those two don't even look similar in the least, how can you compare those two? Your argument is "the effect is the same"...what effect? That it's deadly? Just like 99% of all possible attacks of all manga's?

Verdict - not a rip off, saying that it is, is being biased.

4: Kirin and that nen ability? The only thing they are similar in is that they are both in the shape of a large dragon... and you use that as argument to say they're ripped off? Dragons are one of the most popular theme's used in not only manga's and anime's, but also books, movies etc. There are dragons in Fairy Tail, Mahou Sensei Negima, Dragonball, Digimon, Pokémon, even in Harry Potter. They're everywhere. Kirin is real lightning, which Sasuke guides with a Chidori and just shapes it like a dragon. That's the only thing they have in common. If he would have shaped it like a snake, would it still be a rip off or are you going to tell me it's still a rip off because it falls from the sky? So does the Spirit Bomb and countless other attacks.

Verdict - not a rip off, they have just the same shape, but there are countless examples of that.

5: The Rasengan and the Jajanken...this one is by far the most ridiculous example you used. Those two are so completley different, however because you're so biased you make them look like they are the same. You don't even understand what the Rasengan is. They are the same because the user uses it with one hand?...what? Again that's the same like saying someone is ripping you off because he's also breathing air. The Rasengan doesn't take much power nor chakra, that's a fact. What is extremely important in the Rasengan is chakra control, precision and balance, not power. That Jajanken was as I recall just storing energy in your fist and release it, which is far from the case with the Rasengan.
Their names? Jajanken - Rasengan...what? What do they have similar? Letters O_O. Rasengan means spiral sphere while Jajanken means something completely different. Even if there's something related, it's pure coincidence.

Verdict - not a rip off, doesnt even look like each other.

I've seen you stating 4 so called rip off jutsu's, the result:

Actual rip off's = 0

Wrong conclusions of you = 4

And these are facts. You use common things like letters and "it's shaped like a dragon" arguments =/ those are so common and widespread that they can't even count as rip off's. Those 4 are completley different attacks, the things that are similar are just a coincidence. Do you have any idea how many attacks there are with for example the word "dragon" or "fist" in their name? In Mahou Sensei Negima there's a girl who comes from a ninjaclan. She can make bunshins and she even does "ninjutsu". Is that a rip off then from Naruto? No, these are common things related to ninja's. The concept of ninjutsu was even different in both manga's. In the manga Fairy Tail at a certain moment someone was playing "ninja". He wrapped his scarf around his face to cover it, made a handseal and said "nin-nin". Was that a rip off from Naruto? No, it's just something common for ninja's.

The manga's One Piece and Fairy Tail look very much alike. Still they aren't rip off's of each other. Both artists were fans of Dragonball and influence from that went into their stories.

All mangaka's use inspiration from the same sources. How many series are there based on martial arts? A lot, still that doesn't make them rip off's. Especially Japanase myths and legends are very popular sources.

You'e being biased. Just because you find Hunter X Hunter better than Naruto, doesn't make Naruto a rip off, especially not if the reason is "HxH is the original". You need to find arguments to prove a statement, however what you did was accepting a statement already as a fact and then, starting from that point of view, searching for things that could back it up. The result is that you see things that aren't there. That's an invalid way of argumenting and makes your statement void as you should use the complete opposite method. I compared those attacks with each other, where they are similar and where they are not and how come the aren't similar or are. Based on that I deducted that those 4 are not even in the slightest rip off's.

You can always find similiarities between manga's and stories, especially between attacks, but that doesn't make them rip off's. On top of that the manga's Naruto and Hunter X Hunter started almost at the same time, HxH was just a bit sooner, however Naruto has got around 200 chapters more than HxH so Naruto goes way faster than HxH. Pretty difficult to rip off like that.

You don't understand a lot of the jutsu's, you can't even write most of their names correctly (Kiren - Kirin, rasingan - Rasengan), you make global aspects into rip off's. You're just being biased, there's still something like coincidence. Naruto didn't got inspired by HxH, unless maybe very small details, but you can hardly call that inspiration and there's no way to prove it unless Kishi himself states it. Also don't post links anymore or I'm going to infract you.

i see u want to sound smart by make'n a long post but u not and i'll show u y i'm going to keep mine short
what is a ripoff to u? because it sounds like u don't know what it is...or at da very least u don't get what sinbad is saying so...
rip-off (rpôf, -f)
n. Slang
1. A product or service that is overpriced or of poor quality.
2. Something, such as a film or story, that is clearly imitative of or based on something else.
3. A theft.
4. An act of exploitation.
In a related meaning, a ripoff is a blatant or unscrupulous copy or imitation

1)stop snitching
2)true but it was used in da anime..and i'll give u dat
3)do da fish come out of da eye?...but to da bold text no if i made some to look a certain way, and he den made da samething and only changed da name of it...den dats a ripoff
4)i'll give y dat 1 too (i agree)...is dis dragon made of lightning (just want to no)
5) i dis agree, day sound and pretty much look da same to me (oh i'm not biased never seen hxh)
5-a) if dat air is come'n from a copy of a special tank i made den yes a ripoff
5-b) ??? dats exactly da same storing energy(chakra) in your fist and release it

u seam to be da go to guy for it not being a ripoff so how do u explain da kid with da "sharingan and da uchiha past" in hxh; quote from sinbad's link:"kurata clan annihilated, kurapica is the only remaining kurata clan who has the power to turn his eyes red which makes him 100% proficient with all nen types. he also wants to avenge his clan", or da guy dat has da same roll as kabuto in da chunin exams...because IMO dat is a ripoff (if in fact its true like i said i never read or saw hxh)

I think he looked at other manga for ideas but it is quite original and as he said it's a Buddhist inspired picture probably not copied from hunter x hunter or whatever it's called. It can't be a complete rip-off because it would be less popular if there was something out there that was pretty much the same. I'm pretty sure that the hand seals are Chinese Kodiak hand signs too, I don't know about the techniques themselves though.

1st :looking at other mangas for ideas = rip off

hunter x hunter doesn't have hand seals because they r not ninjas but there techniques were copied by naruto creators

as black uchiha said look for (sharingan and kurabika's eyes) then compare sasuke stroy to kurapika story

Looking at other mangas for ideas = ripoff? Sinbad, by that definition, there hasn't been any new art for a while. For example, the Rolling Stones would be ripoff artists for stealing riffs from Muddy Waters & Robert Johnson. Instead, they took their influences and created something different. Same thing applies to writing and Kishimoto. He has taken his influences, some of them familiar and used before, like japanese mythology, and created his own wonderful world.
Black uchiha and sinbad, Caliburn presents his points very succinctly and also has read both manga, so he can talk about this topic with more weight than those of us who have not. He's not just stringing words together to sound smart; The definition for that would be bullshi#%ing, which Caliburn is not. I totally see his points because he lays the differences out clearly. Don't hate because Caliburn can present a concise rebuttal.

Black Uchiha, I checked out the link and have started reading hxh. My first impression just from the first few panels wasn't naruto, it was Pokemon. Kid going off on his own hunting animals...hmm. The hunter's test is not similar to the chunin exams at all. It seems more like a tournament ala Mortal Kombat. I think people are seeing the trees and not at the forest. It's easy to look details and say someone is copying ideas from someone else. It's how the ideas are put together. I did not feel like I was reading naruto while reading hxh at all. The pokemon theme went through my head instead, to be truthful. Revenge is a theme that's revisited throughout literature, so should we say that hxh is copying Hamlet? I'm only on the third book so I have to see about some of the other "ripoffs", but I think people are grasping at straws here. They are 2 completely different stories. I'm glad you're not a hater.

1)did it not look like a ripoff with da whole "uchiha/sharingan" connect to hxh
2)ur confusing da topic he didn't say hxh was like naruto he said naruto was ripping off hxh so its not likely dat hxh would be up and down like naruto but instead naruto would have ripoffs from hxh( i hope u understood dat worded it da best way i can)
3)it was more like day were hunting him...lol...but he only did da fish thing to get the ok from his aunt to go to da exam
4)i only saw da first ep. so i have not seen it yet
5)i agree but from da link sinbad gave it looks like it to me (imo) but at da same time it is possable 4 2 people to have da same ideal (da whole great minds think alike thing), but as for da last part look at #2
6)ok and i plan on getting it in on hxh so i can have "weight" like u said...lol...but i still stick to what i said (da million $ thing)
7)lol nooooo non of dat no reason for it in the end its all opinon...but da thing with dat is if in fact naruto "kakashi'ed"..lol..hxh den a person would have to use common sense...cal say he read both so if i come to da same conclusion den i will have to ? his common sense.....but no hate...negative

If Naruto is a rip off of anything it is Dragonball, where do you think Kishi got Ino Shika Cho it is from a monster from Dragonball.

I think the whole problem here is what that ninjaforum post defines as what a ripoff is. A clan being hunted down for their inherent ability: isn't that what happens in X-men, where mutants are hunted down for their abilities, either to be used or killed because of fear? Does this mean that hxh ripped off X-men? And the examples posted as ripoffs are incredibly lame. Example 1 shows both mangas showing off the scope of the exam by showing a large panel(panels in hxh's case) of people. How is that a ripoff? Were there 2 teenage girls doting over someone in hxh? The tone of both scenes is different. If it were a panel by panel exact replica of each other, that's a ripoff.
Example 2 shows the character Tompa chatting up the main protagonists, but for the purpose of eliminating them from the test. In Naruto, Kabuto chats up Team 7 for the purpose of maintaining his cover and making contact with Sasuke to befriend him and gain his trust, as Orochimaru wanted. They both did the same action, but for different reasons. How is that a ripoff?
The characters of Sasuke and Kuropica may both have had their clans massacred, but have different motivations. Kuropica wants vengance, but is nowhere near as angry as Sasuke(I've only read through the first 10 chapters, but I don't get the all-consuming anger off of kuropica that sasuke has). We also know that Sasuke is not the only Uchiha, unlike kuropica. And Sasuke's vengance is part of a bigger plotline in Naruto. Not much of a ripoff there, unless you look at the surface of 2 guys who had their clans massacred for their eyes(Again, a can't see the forest for the trees issue).
If we want to look at a ripoff through that post, then who is this: male character with spiky hair and incredible inherent abilities they were born with, naive but pure of heart, friendly, protective of friends, isn't quick to judge others. Do you know who I'm describing? I'm talking about Gon of hxh, but I'm sure some of you were thinking of Goku. Is that a ripoff? No, because those are just some things you can pick out about each character. Their motivations and the stories themselves are totally different.
I think of ripoff as being closer to plagiarism or something where you can interchange the character and it would be the same. IMO the examples posed in that other post don't fit the criteria.

Fourth Raikage (Lightning Armour) is copy from killua (Kanmuru)
You must be registered for see images

By wrapping his body in a layer of lightning chakra, the Fourth Raikage can electrically stimulate his nervous system and speed up his neural synapses to react faster to danger and push his physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing him to gain tremendous raw speed and monstrous power. This armour, combined with taijutsu, allows A to utilize nintaijutsu While using this technique, his reflexes are comparable to that of Konoha's Yellow Flash, making it difficult, even for the Sharingan to keep up with him. naruto.wikia
You must be registered for see images

Killua's Kanmaru ability allows him to react and move his body at speeds that would normally be impossible (even in the fictional Hunter × Hunter universe). This ability changes Killua's aura into a field capable of transmitting all electrical impulses from his brain in a straight line directly to the part of the body he wants to use, completely bypassing his nervous system. It is made up of two parts: Denkō Sekka, the ability to move his body according to his own will, and Shippū Jinrai, the ability to sense his opponents movements and have his body react automatically . hunterxhunter.wikia

And the examples posted as ripoffs are incredibly lame. 3)Example 1 shows both mangas showing off the scope of the exam by showing a large panel(panels in hxh's case) of people. How is that a ripoff? Were there 2 teenage girls doting over someone in hxh? The tone of both scenes is different. If it were a panel by panel exact replica of each other, that's a ripoff.
4)Example 2 shows the character Tompa chatting up the main protagonists, but for the purpose of eliminating them from the test. In Naruto, Kabuto chats up Team 7 for the purpose of maintaining his cover and making contact with Sasuke to befriend him and gain his trust, as Orochimaru wanted. They both did the same action, but for different reasons. How is that a ripoff?
5)The characters of Sasuke and Kuropica may both have had their clans massacred, but have different motivations. Kuropica wants vengance, but is nowhere near as angry as Sasuke(I've only read through the first 10 chapters, but I don't get the all-consuming anger off of kuropica that sasuke has). We also know that Sasuke is not the only Uchiha, unlike kuropica. And Sasuke's vengance is part of a bigger plotline in Naruto. Not much of a ripoff there, unless you look at the surface of 2 guys who had their clans massacred for their eyes(Again, a can't see the forest for the trees issue).
6)If we want to look at a ripoff through that post, then who is this: male character with spiky hair and incredible inherent abilities they were born with, naive but pure of heart, friendly, protective of friends, isn't quick to judge others. Do you know who I'm describing? I'm talking about Gon of hxh, but I'm sure some of you were thinking of Goku. Is that a ripoff? No, because those are just some things you can pick out about each character. Their motivations and the stories themselves are totally different.
7)I think of ripoff as being closer to plagiarism or something where you can interchange the character and it would be the same. IMO the examples posed in that other post don't fit the criteria.

let me start off by saying i have made it to ep.32 of hxh and from what i have seen naruto could have quite possibly ripped off some things from hxh...but is it a complete rip off...of course not nothing dat is sold to da public ever is but like i said before dat don't mean its not a rip off...ex the ying/yang twins made a song: whistle while you twurk, loosely based (looking at other things for ideas like some of u said before) on snow white & the 7 dwarfs the song sounds like da disney ver. beat wise but the words were changed, yet day were sued for it...y...because it was a ripoff da same could be said for naruto/hxh as far as i know no one has been sued but narto took some of hxh ideals and made dem there own is dat a rip off it is strictly an opinon to who ever wants to make one but imo it is in fact to diff. stories but naruto did rip off hxh (on some things not all)...some of the things i have spotted: killer instinct(oro/sas and da clown guy/gon), today's friend is tomorrow's enemy(madara & da black guy) just to name a few

1)no the x-men are not a clan and are not down to der last man
2)no its not da same
3)ur right da tone is diff. but it looks eerily similar
4)its da same mo so i have to say rip off
5)its still da same one is more pissed is a small change
6)not exactly every story needs a hero in witch people would like (i like da bad guys myself) and those are personality traits not a rip off but if gon turns out to be from another planet den yea
7)you can like in sinbad's pics but as for da story day do diff so in some cases it is a ripoff and other no so (imo) not a complete ripoff but it does ripoff some things

Fourth Raikage (Lightning Armour) is copy from killua (Kanmuru)

By wrapping his body in a layer of lightning chakra, the Fourth Raikage can electrically stimulate his nervous system and speed up his neural synapses to react faster to danger and push his physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing him to gain tremendous raw speed and monstrous power. This armour, combined with taijutsu, allows A to utilize nintaijutsu While using this technique, his reflexes are comparable to that of Konoha's Yellow Flash, making it difficult, even for the Sharingan to keep up with him. naruto.wikia

Killua's Kanmaru ability allows him to react and move his body at speeds that would normally be impossible (even in the fictional Hunter × Hunter universe). This ability changes Killua's aura into a field capable of transmitting all electrical impulses from his brain in a straight line directly to the part of the body he wants to use, completely bypassing his nervous system. It is made up of two parts: Denkō Sekka, the ability to move his body according to his own will, and Shippū Jinrai, the ability to sense his opponents movements and have his body react automatically . hunterxhunter.wikia
