He also uses Shadows like Shikamaru does!

Did the author of Naruto stole it from Fairy Tail, or the author of Fairy Tail from Naruto?

 

[From the Dark Spire]

That does look like someone stole something from the other, good find.

 

[DrProof]

Damn.. It depends on which Manga came out first, if Naruto was the first, I say Kishimoto sues, vice versa.

 

[Silent Zetsu]

I thought this too, lucy is also a lot like nami

 

[Lyke]

I googled it.

Fairy tail - 2006
Naruto - 1999

 

[Imperfect]

I saw that the moment he kicked Natsu in the face, what took you so long? XDXDXD

 

[Katachi]

Well, Shikamaru was created by Masashi Kishimoto in the late 1990's/early 2000's, and Fairy Tail as a whole was first published in 2006. The characters are very similar, but I wouldn't go out there and call it 'copying' or 'plagiarism' or whatever. *_*

 

[Sasuke Uchiha Susanoo]

They stole this from naruto :devil:

 

[FemmeFatale]

It would be his uncle from another part of town lol. And Maybe they are based off someone in Japanese mythology

 

[Klad]

Damn.. It depends on which Manga came out first, if Naruto was the first, I say Kishimoto sues, vice versa.

naruto came first. dont you know ?? :|

 

[Filo]

wow this is so similar nice find

 

[Deathwink]

o.o shikamaru left naruto for joining fairy tail

 

[IKSOKRIPS]

Oh! O_O

Thief! I don't know the author's name, but. . . thief! :heh:

 

[Skull Knight]

one thing that koga guy look like future shikamaru.
omg does that mean shikamaru treacherous traitor has joined fairy tail.damn.

 

[darkprince]

Damn there is too much similarity between the two.its looks like the fairy tale creator copied him straight instead of just taking idea.

 

[DrProof]

naruto came first. dont you know ?? :|

I didn't know. Is there a problem?

 

[Momochifanboy]

Maybe Shikamaru found a way to teleport him self to a universe were he has muscles.

 

[Olorin]

Why are ppl saying its a nice find you can notice it if you read like 20 chapters of each series

 

[tmlms13]

every series steals stuff from other series. What about the guy Natsu fought when he attacked the sabertooth hotel

 

[Soraton]

Maybe its a way that Hiro chose to honor an accomplished mangaka like Kishimoto by creating a character that is a basic copy of one of Kishi's?
I mean, that's the best reason I can think of. The characters look the same, kinda sound the same and have the same kind of power over shadows? It's got to be more than a coincidence.
If it was a blatant copy, Kishi would have sued him or sumthin'...but nada...so this seems like the most probable thing.
