2 Things I'm dissapointed with and a question.

[Lightbringer]

1. Rikudou Sennin's design was pretty bad imo. I was hoping we'd get to see him young, or at least have a design that doesn't make him look like an alien.

This is my drawing of what I was hoping he would look like based on all those cool silhouettes, at least in the flashbacks. What a let-down

I don't mind him being introduced as old, but he looked pretty ugly even for an old guy imo

2. The Juubi's "Final Form" was the same form we have already seen. The one that doesn't even look complete. I thought he would have had another final form with his eye and mouth being on the same side of the face.

Whatever happened to the juubi looking like this? Kishi gave up it seems.

Also what do you think happened to Hagoromo's brother, and why was he never remembered in the shinobi world?

 

[Nocturnal]

I didn't like how old he was either. The Juubi's final form doesn't bother me. And it sounds like the sage's brother was just as irrelevant as Itama.

 

[Zol]

Well, considering his mother probaby WAS an alien, him slightly looking like one "makes sense though" to cite Hagoromo himself...

And the Juubi's "final form" is it's original form, the God Tree. That was confirmed back when Obito summoned it...

 

[Shalev]

Who said that was the final form?

 

[BlacLord™]

Oh, so this is your manga? You can't "expect" Hagoromo to look like anything, it's Kishi's manga.

As for the Juubi, maybe it can switch between states when not being controlled. And the last depiction I believe was what Obito thought it would look like.

"The Sage looks retarded because he doesn't look the way I thought he would. He's old, like when he died, not like I imagined him." -You

OT: His look is fine, he was old, and from ancient time. He's as old as dirt. And I don't care about the Juubi's looks to be honest. The picture you showed for what it "should" have looked like is that picture right there, only completely dark so there's just an outline.

Oh and his brother is probably who made the Uzumaki clan. Calling it.

I know that, but I meant the Juubi's final offensive form. Shinji became the Juubi when it got mad.

I don't even mind him being old, but that is one really ugly design imo.

Hogoromos brother may be the one helping Madara, he may be inside white Zetsu.

 

[Six Paths]

The Final form has yet to be born. The final form will be unlike all the other, because it will be conscious.

 

[AShinyPlatypus]

I personally don't have any problems with Rikudou's design, why would he appear young? I'm not sure what to think about the Juubi, we may have already seen all of its forms. I'm pretty sure Gyuki said one of the forms we've seen was it's final one, don't have a scan to back that up though. As for the brother, we haven't heard the whole story yet and I get the feeling we'll find out more about him sooner or later. Why would he be introduced if that was all we were gonna hear of him?

Typical NB member .^

I agree with everything CurseSealofEarth said . I also think the fact that the brother of Hagoromo that wasn't even given a screen time , would be the one to create the Uzumaki clan .

I also want to know who's the reincarnation of the sage, and his mother. Since everyone's a reincarnation of somebody.

 

[GhostProject]

I think Kishi is trying to make it clear that the Sage is some sort of transcended God, and not human. His look is abnormal, he also seems to not talk with emotion being able to change how he appears/sounds to others apparently, as well as very fact based and neutral. Not sure if he's omniscient but it seems... possible?

Regardless people are not going to like the design because he doesn't really have human relatable features or personality.

I think Kishi intended for him to look like an alien/weird god/not human being.

 

[Tantalus Thief]

Sage is ancient, and a god pretty much of course he looks weird. His design is fine. I agree I wanted a diffirent look for Juubi, Obito must have imagined it diffirently. You're right about the sage's brother, I really hope we learn more about him or will he be like Itama.

 

[Conspirator.]

Maybe sasuke will meet the sages brother? We still don't know if he became evil later on or not...

 

[Gold Lightning]

So it seems Part 3 of Naruto will involve an alien invasion, resulting in the 5th great ninja war with Naruto leading the allied ninja forces

I so want this to happen.

 

[Lytes]

waiting for next manga, this was disappointing

 

[The Ramen Guy]

I really disliked the design

 

[~Sky~]

I like his design. You don't have to be eye candy to do great things in the world.

I think his sons might have been the ancestors of Hygua and Uzumaki since they did say they were distant cousins of the Senju and Uchiha
