Continuation from the thread [Theory] The Demon ( click here to check the previous discussions) Time for one last Naruto Theory? Naruto is technically finished for the moment but personally I doubt whether it will stay dead for too long. Kishi still has a lot of loose ends to wrap up … and...

Does anybody know what the mark on Bolt's jacket is? I don't recognise it but perhaps the new Databook addresses it. Personally I can't remember having seen it before which got me thinking about it's possible significance. As far as I'm aware we haven't learned anything about the Namikaze clan...

So the Manga is finished but there were two things that I wanted to point out. First - Spiral Lives Yep… In case you hadn't noticed, Spiral turns into a tree in 699 (also note Yamato still has spooky eyes): Later in 700 Sasuke gets spooked by a tree: It's not much but it's hope for a...

In the prophecy of Gamamaru, the destined would lead the world either to revolution or destruction. Sasuke and Naruto currently share the legacy of the sage but it seems pretty clear from the outside which child of destiny corresponds to which outcome. Sasuke might believe that he is the one to...

This is an update to a theory on everyone’s favourite spooky eyed captain. Okay he might win that contest by default but I always kind of liked the character. He’s back now… well sort of … but there are a lot of questions about his return. I think most people would dismiss the character as...

I thought for this theory that I’d focus on the God Tree and how it ties together the major players and storylines. We know pieces of the Shinju story but we don’t have the big picture yet. To connect the dots and fill in the gaps, I’m going to put forward a series of speculative ideas supported...

I’ve seen a lot of good theories on why Hagoromo might end up as the big bad. I haven’t seen many on why he’s much more likely to be good. I don’t think he’s always been good – he seems to have regrets over some things he’s done. What sticks out about Hagoromo, however, is how consistent he has...

Hamura’s Staff The staffs are among the most easily overlooked powers in the series and yet they are in the very top bracket of those available. Techniques that can wipe out entire battlefields cannot accomplish what these staffs are capable of. They have claimed the most prominent of victims...

[Theory] Kakashi the Rikudo Hokage I've gotten into a bad habit of writing stupidly long theories so I'll keep this one short(er). In this last chapter Kakashi makes a strange remark - he talks about having the Rikudo's power: But Kakashi has only received Obito's power: That doesn't add...

The Copy Eye Wheel The Copy Eye Wheel is the Sharingan, or at least its English translation. There are a lot of explanations about how it works but they don’t fit together. That’s not to say that Kishi has made some kind of mistake. In fact I think we’re not supposed to understand the eyes yet...

Will of Fire / Curse of Hatred This is an update theory. I’m rehashing some ideas spread across a couple of my older theories and try to turn them into one complete theory. The ideas in this theory are highly speculative. I’m linking storylines within the manga to the legends with which they...

Karura and Naga While I’m pretty new to this site, I’ve been writing theories about the statues that appear in Naruto for as long as anybody. Over the last dozen or more chapters all of those theories have been developing rapidly. For this theory I wanted to bridge the gap between two of my...

Much as I like Naruto, I can't help but think Kishimoto has lifted whole swathes of his story from other sources. One area that I think people rarely pick up on is how much Kishi "borrows" from what would commonly be recognised as B-Movies. With that in mind I thought it's about time that those...

(aka Missing Link v2) I started developing this theory years ago when I started noticing patterns in the development of various techniques and how they tied into various statues. Without any context it is almost impossible to tell who these statues are supposed to represent but the more of the...

Mark of the Shinju There are a series of recurring patterns and designs that stand out in Naruto that signify lineage and power. You may be aware of three of these designs but I believe that there is a fourth which completes the set. There is considerable material to read on the significance of...

(v2) This time I thought I’d try and tackle a difficult subject, transmigration and how it operates for the protagonists. I’ll try and work backwards through what we know about the subject and then point out some interesting possibilities regarding the origins of certain nondescript figures...

(SoaP) First off, howdy. I tend to write theories elsewhere but I thought I'd post a new one here after I saw one I'd written earlier reproduced on this site. I hope you enjoy the new one. Hopefully the pun in the title becomes clear as you get through this theory. I warn you now that I’m...
