Hi everyone,

I received a very interesting message from a member of this forum that is not known. He was a bit offended about a post i made about Kaguya.

Sometimes, when we write, the view we apply to things are based on cultural aspects that conditioned our criticism, on some other cases we complain about lack of character build up and how they appear out of nowhere.

Summing up..

This member told me that in Japan and for the Japanese the fact Kishimoto Sensei included Kaguya as the final villain of Naruto was highly accepted because Kaguya is a mythological character from the 10th century, one of the oldest legends that are part of the Japanese culture.




So basically Kaguya was found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by a bamboo cutter and it was revealed that she was actually a moon princess, the fact Kaguya is an alien in Japan is not a surprise.

The legend was known to me, i made a thread once regarding this, but it never occured to me that in Japan she was highly and happily accepted as the final villain.

Thank you "Slop".

No offense, Most people already knew this, I don’t see how that matters or excuses anything

real life references are cool to find but how does that ultimately matter in judging a fictional story or character

Kaguya Ootsusuki is not Kaguya from the folklore

It is easy to see the references and how Kishimoto based himself on the real legend.

I see I'm not the only target of Slop, he inboxed me things about Kaguya.

Ps. Slop making the claim people are happy with her as a final villian is likely a joke.
Haha! Maybe but who knows, Japanese are different. I need to ask the guy that works at the Sushi restaurant near my house what he feels about this.

I recieved a message from a person talking about Kaguya too!

He insisted that even if Kaguya is badly written she should be accepted as good, simply because she is named Kaguya.

Then I tried to explain that's not how you should judge a character.


Wow he messaged everybody XD

Brilliant idea. But how does being Japanese change that a human can see shit when they see it? The Japanese still get disgusted when they step in shit, like everyone else. But maybe, if you ask one, we might see where their sentiments & logic falls, and ascertain whether we've been purposely misinformed.

@everyone: so only special select members receive a message of explanation from him? I'm kind of :salt:y.

Probably just those who trash talked Kaguya. I didn't get one either.

Bruh everything dealing with Naruto is came from Japanese mythology.

Indra vs ashura
Tsukyomi and amaterasu.
Kamui
Susanoo
And a bunch more.

Kaguya being part of Japanese mythology is not a surprise

Kaguya being named after some mythical character from Japanese folklore doesn't at all mean she is well written. And I am pretty sure the member telling you the japanese fanbase accepted her is talking nonsense with nothing to back up their claim.
