Is Kishimoto really an idiot, or a troll?

He just lost the interest in his own work at some point.
I guess spending so many years and time for a Manga was too much for him. That's why we got the second party with all the things we hated.

Are we sure this wasn't just tongue in cheek lost in the language barrier or poor quotation? Like when people took him saying a couple years ago that he wouldn't be back at Jump Festa as a serious statement? He stated a few weeks before that that he didn't like the Byakugan's design as it made it difficult for him to convey character emotions and made all the Hyuga characters look really similar, that probably has more to do with it than him forgetting.

Seems he, rightly, doesn't care about those characters.

Plot solo'ed logic of the manga a long time ago. Kishi doesn't care and will tell you to your face he doesn't care.

Maybe Japanese peolle including him to tired with their own life. With all thing happen in Japan liie slow economy, long work hours, more older people that younger people among others. The pressure was feel by Kishi also among his fellow Japanese. Live as Japanese is harsh nowaday.

He remembers to draw Sasuke's stab wound like 20-40 pages after he joined the Madara massacre.

Then he states that he forgot to draw the Byakugan on Naruto/Hinata's kids. If he honestly did not draw the blood patch, would anyone really bring it up? It was only such a small detail in the events happening in the story during their fight, I doubt it took a second to remember it. We know this guy ain't dumb. I think he does some things on purpose. Idk what for though, but I smell asspulls.

Trolling, simple trolling. Kishi isn't too dumb to really forgetting about such important thing as Byakugan for Naruto's child.

He was serious.He later on added that he would have to think on how to give them the Byakugan later on OR make them have a third kid with Byakugan

Yeah a guy who made a best seller manga is an idiot :rolleyes:.

If that's the case we are all even dumber for reading his product U_U.

lol I think most people who make such comments as calling him an idiot, are just trolling.

Seeing he spent more than 15 years working on a story week after week drawing the stuff, it's no surprise if some small detail is missed now and then. Either by him or by assistants while inking etc.

As for kids not having bayakugan- It's hard to believe that he forgot to draw it. Seeing that it's not like no one in his team or editors or in anime team would notice and point it out before releasing the new stuff. He probably wanted to avoid too OP kids. Especially in this early stage.

That some good idea you have there.

You speculate that Bolt or Himawari will awaken the Byakugan later same like how Uchiha awaken their Sharingan or MS.

That are some good idea and will lead to different ďevelopment of Byakugan.

Probably both which would explain alot of the asspulls in this manga.

At the end of the day if Kishi wants to give Bolt and Himawari Byakugan hell do it via asspull or recton but whatever its nothing new.

He should do them, like he did Sasuke...

Just change their eyes in the next page or whenever we see them again Lol

If kishi wanted to. He could make Byakugan/Sharingan manifest when they mature.

You can call it an asspull but there's never been a half Hyuga or half Uchiha in the manga before.

I have to agree with this.

Why is everyone claiming he forgot? Do you have proof?
And of all things to mention you could atleast use tsunades sleeves appearing.

Over a decade of doing the same thing. One loses interest.

I don't think he forgot, the War Arc was rushed and the editors didn't give him enough time to plan the ending. But it could be that Kishi might continue the series after a really long break/hiatus considering the amount of obvious plot holes he left.

And he could always give the kids a hybrid version of the Byakugan, it could be why he purposefully gave them a lavender eye colour. :p

Not exactly. I am not interested in making any particular speculation about it. As a writer Kishi can take in in any direction. But bayakugan is not something you awaken as far as I know. Not yet.

Naruto's kid if shown with bayakugan would look more Hyuga than Uzumaki. Hyugas were never focal point of story. Making Naruto's family look like an extension of Hyuga family at this juncture wouldn't not sit well with many. Another Hinata /Neji copy would not be that interesting either if Kishi wants to extend the series in some way. It definitely gives more chances to Kishi if he feels like elaborating. So it works for him better this way.
