Kishi's Vapid Mythology bon*r tried to ruin Shippuden

[1000 Chirping Birds]

So the Sannin were fine right because it was a bit of pointless referencing to an old folklore of Japan. One of my other favourite anime series also has religious / mythological imagery.......

....Neon Genesis Evangelion gets a lot of flack for having lots of Christian religious symbolism, imagery that the studio confessed had no actual meaning and were just vapid ideas thrown in there. As a big fan of this stuff I say that Naruto is the same and it's all lost potential that becomes actively hurtful to the manga

But then Shippuden takes these references bizarrely far and cuts into the main plot just to do them. Kaguya Ootsutsuki. Izanami and Izanagi being convoluted lameness garbage. Orochimaru made relevant again and then immediately killed after loads of build-up to create a single pointless scene of Susanoo sealing an 8 tailed serpent. Added nothing to the series.

Later tItachi kills Nagato's three-legged crow, a reference to Yatagarasu. Completely pointless and appreciated by few. And it's always stuff that COMPLETELY interferes with the plot in very important moments. The Sannin were oddly unrelated but harmless, but Itachi and Kaguya are nonsense.

I was bugged by this early into Shippuden, the moon stuff begun to take the piss.

The Sannin are just a fun themed team but I agree on the other points.

Im waiting for Konohana Sakuya and Ningi to make it in. Aka SasuSaku love story.
Ningi is the grandson of amaterasu, and has the sword that Sasuke has.

if you couldn't handle Japanese folklore/mythology being inserted into the plot or dialogue somehow, then you might as well have dropped it the moment it became a nuisance for you. Other ppl actually like that about popular manga, so you don't speak for everybody.

Jesus, if we all dropped everything we enjoyed over nuisances we wouldn't enjoy a lot of things in life bud. There's such a thing called constructive criticism.

I feel like Boruto might be too modern for more old-timey references but yeah this woudl be cool.

tf, you expect me to drop a series on a big nitpick by the time of Kaguya? that was the last 95% of the series dude

i dont rly mind, betchu most of us dont know any jap mythology before kishi threw it in the series, didnt feel like a giant copy paste to me

 

[NextGenNinja]

I do find Japanese mythology interesting, but you do have a point. Kishi should've been a bit more original or at least not introduce crap like that into the story.
