Part 1 Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura vs. Part 1 Neji, TenTen, and Lee Knowledge: Canon knowledge from Part I. Battlefield: A forest Distance: 50 meters Scenario 1: If ANYBODY on Team 7 dies, Team Gai wins. Both teams know this. Teams get 5 minutes of prep time. Gamabunta is restricted. Scenario 2...

I'll keep it short and to the point: I liked where genjutsu was going early in the series, but dislike how it evolved over time. I believe that genjutsu should be based on tactics at their core and should be countered the same way. If this isn't the case, there should be some penalty for having...

This jutsu makes no sense to me. The first instance of this jutsu occurred in the first volume: Here, it's ambiguous whether Kakashi simply had enough speed to escape Naruto's grasp and replace himself with a clone (which seems unlikely) or utilized some teleportation dynamic. If it's really...

In VS debates, speedblitz is a very common term that is thrown around a lot. I was just wondering how often it actually occurred in the manga against named characters (aka not literal fodder). I'm not including obvious surprise attacks, try to limit the number of outside factors if possible. Now...

Sometimes, it's the dedicated fans who think of creative battle strategies that Kishi either didn't think about or refrained from using. This is especially true in VS threads, since several debaters are trying to synthesize a scenarios where character X could potentially beat character Y. These...

Long ago, I made a "Kakashi plays megaman" thread featuring only Akatsuki opponents (click here for it). Now I want to throw in the older generation kages into the mix. Scenario 1: Kamui is restricted Scenario 2: kamui can only be used once in the whole gauntlet Rules: If he defeats an...

Let's say you're one of the top managers at a Great Village, and you're responsible for hiring ninja to fulfill the Villages' ninja jobs (see images in the first spoiler, also lol @ the naked dude in the bottom right). You determine factors like salary and what branch they fit into best. The...

A lot of characters are sidelined by some avid Naruto fans for not showing the feats their title deserves. What are some sensible jutsu ideas you can come up with that would give them a bit of a buff? I'll give a few examples: Hidan - Jashin Possession: Hidan submits himself to the will of...

Most of you probably don't know this series, but you may know Naoki Urasawa, its writer, from his other popular works such as Monster, Pluto, and 20th Century boys. Billy Bat's plot revolves around a somewhat popular comic book artist named Kevin Yamagata, best known for his comic series Billy...

Did they ever escape? Seems like they're still in the gedo mazo... which is sealed within Obito. Will they ever see the light of day again, or will they join Yamato in the dark corner of the manga? Place your bets :yay:

Now when I look for a new story to enjoy, I usually head straight for the plot preview and genre (perhaps a few reviews) to see if I like it. At first, some of the overviews sound pretty ridiculous. It makes me wonder how a good story could come from such a theme. Maybe you've even checked a few...

I've finished Monster quite a bit ago but I was wondering if my interpretations on some events made much sense, because it felt like a bit of guesswork on my part. I don't know if actual answers are more clear than I had originally thought of but... I swear I had more but this is what I...
