Most Popular Arc 1999-2011

[siyo]

Great thread.....

Favourite Arc:
the chunin exams

Why:
we saw some of the greatest battles in the entire manga and they all came in a short amount of time, and it really gave that ninja feeling, which made you an instant naruto fan.


Favourite character/s in chosen arc:
1.the third:
i loved his spirit,despite his age, and we saw what a brillant shinobi he once was, when he fought his student.He effortlessly mixed elements and he had a great summon.

2.oro:
A great evil mind, who scared experienced people like kakasihi with his mere present,and he also showed us his amazing skills in the fight against the third, and he would have won if it wasn`t for the fourth hokage's jutsu.

3. lee because of his great heart and it was the first time we saw such great speed, and he also schooled the always cocky sasuke.

4: Gaara was just great at being a sinster shinobi, who was completely consumed by evil, and he was probably the strongest contestant in the tournament.


Least favourite character/s in chosen arc:
choji,sakura and ino....

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc:
1.oro vsthe third
2.gaara vs lee
3.neji vs naruto

What you would have changed:
hmm, maybe by prolonging the hokage fight, by letting oro use tons of different justus before he ended it with edo..

Least favourite arc:
idk

Loving all the responses! Read them all!... Chunin exam and Pain's invasion seem to be heading this poll so far!

 

[psukkar]

Favourite Arc: Humm very hard,All of part 1 not excluding the fillwe episodes after sasuke left, they were mostly crap.

Why: Main reason is becuase most of my theories i think of for part 2 come from part 1. PArt 1 had alot story elements that he keeps refering back to, that makes part 2 that much better. Things like naruto first's mission in the land of the waves, formerly where the uzumaki clan originated from long ago. Things like that i like seeing having some serious revelvation later in the story in part 2.

Favourite character/s in chosen arc:Jiraiya

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc:kabuto

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc:The sannin battle is epic shame jiraiya and orocihmaru were severly handicapped.

What you would have changed:I would have liked to see jiraiya fight kisame and itachi more than simply itachi just running away.
Also I wish naruto really didnt get interupted on the hostpital roof by kahashi, he would have put sasuke in his place.

Least favourite arc:I didn't think much of the land of the tea ark were sasuke has a cry when naruto finaly learns a technique(rasengan) where sasuke before hand had fire jutsu and chadori and he still cried.

But i guess that inself was nice to see in way too. but anyway thats about it.

I accidently voted for Will of Fire arc forgetting how awesome Itachi Pursuit was.

Favourite Arc: Itachi Pursuit

Why: we got to see an older badass looking Sasuke before he was all evil corrupted by Tobi. Where most enjoyed him like myself where all he cared about was Killing Itachi with no Plans to destroy Kanoha.
Sasuke defeating Oro and taking his power.
Forming his new team with the introduction of some badass powerful worthy shinobi. Suigetsu, Juugo, Karin. Juugo powers are killer. Karin sensor/healer. Suigetsu with cool water power.
The Fight between Deidara and Sasuke was awesome. Deidara proved to be a powerful and formidable opponent.
Tobi's personality was hilarious. "SENPAIIII!!!!!" friggen humor.
Team Hebi waiting with Kisame was cool.
Tobi holding off Naruto and gang with such eaze.
Best of all the Fight between brothers.
Zetsu commentary on the fight was very insightful and helpful
Tobi revealing to be "Madara" and storytelling Itachi's "truth"
Sasuke's Epic sunset/tears with the Hawk although him saying to destroy Kanoha was LAME as hell....


Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Sasuke and Itachi. Remember this was Sasuke before the Madara Manipulation technique where most people liked him I hope. Itachi was just badass Itachi what gave him a character boost was him actually being a goodguy! How awesome was that? That was the pinnacle which made everyone love Itachi.

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: Karin. Another annoying Sasuke infatuated female

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Itachi vs Sasuke
At first it was a battle of eyes.
Thousand Shurikens at eachother.
Taijutsu battle.
The Fat shuriken he threw at Itachi which expanded(rasenshuriken)
Itachi's crazy plan for taking Sasuke's eyes
How Sasuke used his fireball to create a storm current for Kirin which was awesome speed of light ninjutsu
Showed the power of Amaterasu
Sussano's incredible power
Sussano vs Hydra battle EPIC
The Real death/sealing of Orochimaru in Itachi which has been searching for.
Sasuke wouldnt give up on killing Itachi with no Chakra jumping a Sussano with his sword.
Itachi slowing walking to Finish Sasuke and take his eyes only to do his childhood brotherly signature forehead poke.
Finally Itachi collapsing to his death with a smile on his face.


What you would have changed: a Spar between Team Hebi, Kisame and Tobi against Naruto and friends to buy Sasuke time would have been so awesome.

Least favourite arc: Filler arcs..... Layme but thats not an option sooo
New Team 7/Recover Sasuke. Was never really interesting only the humor between Sai and Naruto.

Discussions welcome!!!

Favourite Arc: Sage training/ Invasion of Pain

Why: Every chapter was so exciting, Pain was a mysterium and had awesome powers. Moreover he wasn't just a villian, but someone who chose a wrong path to create peace.
Shinra Tensei was my favorite attack

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Pain

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: The girl scientist with the strange glasses...

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Naruto vs. Pain

What you would have changed: I would have liked to see Nagato fighting and seeing Naruto's power with Sage Mode+Kyuubi power.

Least favourite arc: New team 7/ Recover Sasuke 2

 

[CasualMisfit]

Well i was hoping for a few more votes but this will do... I guess I'll be starting my Pain Invasion tribute art tomorrow... thanks for taking part guys!

 

[butoden]

I can't believe I was the only one so far who voted for the Recover Sasuke arc. It was the best of them all. Alot of fighting, diverse ninja battles with the 5 man squad and of course Kimimaro...


Favourite Arc: Recover Sasuke

Why: Alot of battles, no overpowered ninjas, alot of cool fights.

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Chouji, Kimimaro, Gaara and Neji.

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: Kiba

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Kimimaro - Gaara / Rock Lee

What you would have changed: Would've liked some longer fights when the Sand ninja showed up, but I guess thats what kept things more realistic... =^_^=

Least favourite arc: New team 7/ Recover Sasuke 2

Why? Because nothing really happened in that Arc. Shippuuden even started with the whole trailer of the confrontation between Naruto and Sasuke in Orochimaru's lair, but there was no real decisive fight...

this was second favourite arc for the reason you mentioned above.

 

[Stein]

Nice poll I like the idea

Favourite Arc: Recover Sasuke

Why: Because it was simply awesome. We got to see the genins go all out against overwhelmingly strong enemies and risking their lives for one of their comrades. And even the emotions of Naruto... epic.

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Obviously Lee. DRUNKEN FIST HELL YEAH!

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: Tayuya. Don't get it what was wrong with that freak

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Lee vs. Kimimaro and later on Gaara vs. Kimimaro. Epic fight with a lot of emotions and an unexpected setup.

What you would have changed: To be honest: nothing in particular.

Least favourite arc: Homecoming/ Rescue Kazekage Arc. The fights were reaaaaally boring. (Just my opinion.) And I dislike Sakura

 

[eyesofthekyuubi44]

For me it's a tie between the New Team 7/Rescue Sasuke from Orochimaru's Lair arc, and the Five Kage Summit Arc.

Most favorite character: Orochimaru, Danzo, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, A, Madara, Yamato.

Least favorite: Predictably, Sakura. What a useless character. She even planned to be useful by killing Sasuke, but failed. Moral of the story, she couldn't be useful even if she tried.

Why:

1. When Kabuto met Yamato at that bridge, Orochimaru spying on the whole thing was so sinister looking.
2. Danzo's battle with Sasuke. I really thought Danzo had an interesting array of abilities, and had Shisui's eye worked, the battle would have played out better I'm sure.
3. A's battle with Sasuke.
4. Naruto clashing with Sasuke.
5. Yamato (I have no problem ruling by fear).

What I would have changed: I'm not brilliant enough to know if changing something here would affect the future of Naruto. Kishi is Naruto God. Not eyesofthekyuubi.

Least favorite arc: I liked all of them, but I guess the first arc is the one I haven't backtracked to much.

 

[Floydical]

My favorite arc is the Hidan/ Kakuzu arc, no question. Back then, Pain was still a mystery and honestly I liked the series a lot more when pain and Konan were still a big question mark. Not to mention, Hidan and Kakuzu's abilities were still a mystery too until their their two big battles. I mean we had never seen a ninja take down a fully released tailed beast until Kakuzu and Hidan took down the 2 tails, their mystery was awesome.

My second favorite arc would have to be the Pain/ Jairaya battle because a lot about pain was still a big mystery and that battle was just epic.

In regard to the Hidan and Kakuzu arc, my favorite hero was Shikamaru due to his genius way of defeating Hidan one on one. My favorite villain would be the Hidan/ Kakuzu combo for sure, they were just awesome. I just loved those two arcs, to me there's no contest.

 

[Talav]

Favourite Arc:Saga training/Invasion of pain

Why:You get to see naruto mature in many ways, in strength and in wisdom. The battle between pain and naruto is amazing to. Not to mention Minato's appearance.

Favourite character/s in chosen arcain, Naruto and Minato.

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc:I'd have to say Konan, she just seems to do what Nagato tells her. Nothing else=(.

Favourite battle/s in chosen arcain vs Naruto, especially when Naruto goes kyuubi mode and Pain does the infamous chibaku tensei=).

What you would have changed:Nothing really!

Least favourite arc:New team 7/ Recover Sasuke 2. I dislike this part a lot. It's pretty much just a way to introduce some new characters!

 

[Water Ninja]

Favourite Arc: Land of Waves/Zabuza and Haku

Why: Naruto makes Zabuza cry, which made me cry, which made my baby brother cry

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Zabuza, Haku and Naruto

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: Gato, for kicking haku

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Naruto & Sasuke versus Haku

What you would have changed: hmmmmm.....nothing really

Least Favourite Arc: New Team 7/ Recover Sasuke 2

 

[Rihari]

Favourite Arc: Naruto controlling Kyuubi/ninja war arc

Why: the war has made me love naruto even more its really coool
also naruto beating and surpassing the 9 tails himself was pree epic

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Naruto (more), and killer bee, madara

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: sakura and kabuto

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc:nine tailes vs naruto and minato vs 9tails and madara

What you would have changed: the fights in the war go longer

Least favourite arc: any of the filler arcs

 

[Akisha]

meh, looking at the vote, it all turned out as expected Im just surprised how less people chosed the kage sumit arc...

Why? Because nothing really happened in that Arc. Shippuuden even started with the whole trailer of the confrontation between Naruto and Sasuke in Orochimaru's lair, but there was no real decisive fight...

For me... that was my second fav' arc... tbh... I think Naruto peeked at that point!

 

[Heero Yuy]

Favourite Arc:The Chūnin Exams/ Assault on Konoha

Why: It was pretty epic at the time seeing ninja from all the different villages and the rivalry between neji and lee

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Neji, Sasuke

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: Gaara all he did was scream and moan and then went emo on everyone...

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Neji vs Naruto and Sasuke vs Gaara during the tournament

What you would have changed: I would have got more ninja from different villages in the finals rather than just sand and leaf. it wouldve also been nice to have seen more kage there like for instance the tsuchikage. the couldve helped konoha or turned against them. Also I wouldve finished the chuunin exams regardless of the invasion.

Least favourite arc: Recover Sasuke because it didnt have the Naruto feel to it and it just felt dull and boring. the fights were decent but dragged on too long. the only real positive about this arc was naruto vs sasuke

 

[SasukeMangekyo5]

Favourite Arc: My favorite arc is "Homecoming/ Rescue the Kazekage"

Why: It had a lot of action, adventures and mystery.

Favourite character/s in chosen arc: Sasori

Least favourite character/s in chosen arc: Deidara

Favourite battle/s in chosen arc: Sasori vs Sakura and Chiyo

What you would have changed: I would've changed Sasori's death, he was an elite puppet master, he even defeated the strongest Kazekage, the III, and was beaten by Sakura and Chiyo? He was one of the strongest member of Akatsuki and he died so easy!

Least favourite arc: Controlling the Kyuubi/ 4th Ninja war

 

[CasualMisfit]

What you would have changed: I would've changed Sasori's death, he was an elite puppet master, he even defeated the strongest Kazekage, the III, and was beaten by Sakura and Chiyo? He was one of the strongest member of Akatsuki and he died so easy!

I did find that well disappointing too... It's not like Sakura was packing anything super special that he wouldn't have known how to deal with it! Chiyo tho' was abit understandable... but still... wasn't impressed... wasn't impressed with how quick his resurrection passed on either in the current arc!

 

[Jack Spicer]

Wow, the Sai/Sasuke arc does indeed suck. I'm glad I am involved in the hating of it too!

I posted/voted already. First page!
