1: Read the rules, advertising is forbidden so if I see one more link to another forum I'm going to infract you. If you want to show that thread so badly, copy paste it, but absolutely don't link it.
2: You're being extremely biased and above all you're seriously wrong. The example in your first post is 100% wrong. That jutsu wasn't even used in the manga, so it's impossible to rip off.
Verdict - completely wrong
3: Nearly all the examples you have given are wrong. You already made a statement and now you're searching for things to back it up, but as a result you interpret things in the way they suit your statement, while it's just not true. I've read Hunter X Hunter a long time ago and I wasn't really impressed. You're comparing Amaterasu with that nen ability? The things they have similar are so common that it's ridiculous to call them rip off's. What you consider rip off's are on the same lvl as saying that someone is ripping you off because he too is wearing cloths.
Amaterasu and that nen ability don't even look similar in the slightest. As I recall that ability was some kind of fish that eats away at living things without killing them or even without making them feel pain in closed rooms. When the room is opened, the fish goes away and the living thing, or what is lef of it, dies of the injuries that appear. Amaterasu are black, undying flames that consume everything that's been gazed up on by the user in matter of minutes and can barely be extinguished. Those two don't even look similar in the least, how can you compare those two? Your argument is "the effect is the same"...what effect? That it's deadly? Just like 99% of all possible attacks of all manga's?
Verdict - not a rip off, saying that it is, is being biased.
4: Kirin and that nen ability? The only thing they are similar in is that they are both in the shape of a large dragon... and you use that as argument to say they're ripped off? Dragons are one of the most popular theme's used in not only manga's and anime's, but also books, movies etc. There are dragons in Fairy Tail, Mahou Sensei Negima, Dragonball, Digimon, Pokémon, even in Harry Potter. They're everywhere. Kirin is real lightning, which Sasuke guides with a Chidori and just shapes it like a dragon. That's the only thing they have in common. If he would have shaped it like a snake, would it still be a rip off or are you going to tell me it's still a rip off because it falls from the sky? So does the Spirit Bomb and countless other attacks.
Verdict - not a rip off, they have just the same shape, but there are countless examples of that.
5: The Rasengan and the Jajanken...this one is by far the most ridiculous example you used. Those two are so completley different, however because you're so biased you make them look like they are the same. You don't even understand what the Rasengan is. They are the same because the user uses it with one hand?...what? Again that's the same like saying someone is ripping you off because he's also breathing air. The Rasengan doesn't take much power nor chakra, that's a fact. What is extremely important in the Rasengan is chakra control, precision and balance, not power. That Jajanken was as I recall just storing energy in your fist and release it, which is far from the case with the Rasengan.
Their names? Jajanken - Rasengan...what? What do they have similar? Letters O_O. Rasengan means spiral sphere while Jajanken means something completely different. Even if there's something related, it's pure coincidence.
Verdict - not a rip off, doesnt even look like each other.
I've seen you stating 4 so called rip off jutsu's, the result:
Actual rip off's = 0
Wrong conclusions of you = 4
And these are facts. You use common things like letters and "it's shaped like a dragon" arguments =/ those are so common and widespread that they can't even count as rip off's. Those 4 are completley different attacks, the things that are similar are just a coincidence. Do you have any idea how many attacks there are with for example the word "dragon" or "fist" in their name? In Mahou Sensei Negima there's a girl who comes from a ninjaclan. She can make bunshins and she even does "ninjutsu". Is that a rip off then from Naruto? No, these are common things related to ninja's. The concept of ninjutsu was even different in both manga's. In the manga Fairy Tail at a certain moment someone was playing "ninja". He wrapped his scarf around his face to cover it, made a handseal and said "nin-nin". Was that a rip off from Naruto? No, it's just something common for ninja's.
The manga's One Piece and Fairy Tail look very much alike. Still they aren't rip off's of each other. Both artists were fans of Dragonball and influence from that went into their stories.
All mangaka's use inspiration from the same sources. How many series are there based on martial arts? A lot, still that doesn't make them rip off's. Especially Japanase myths and legends are very popular sources.
You'e being biased. Just because you find Hunter X Hunter better than Naruto, doesn't make Naruto a rip off, especially not if the reason is "HxH is the original". You need to find arguments to prove a statement, however what you did was accepting a statement already as a fact and then, starting from that point of view, searching for things that could back it up. The result is that you see things that aren't there. That's an invalid way of argumenting and makes your statement void as you should use the complete opposite method. I compared those attacks with each other, where they are similar and where they are not and how come the aren't similar or are. Based on that I deducted that those 4 are not even in the slightest rip off's.
You can always find similiarities between manga's and stories, especially between attacks, but that doesn't make them rip off's. On top of that the manga's Naruto and Hunter X Hunter started almost at the same time, HxH was just a bit sooner, however Naruto has got around 200 chapters more than HxH so Naruto goes way faster than HxH. Pretty difficult to rip off like that.
You don't understand a lot of the jutsu's, you can't even write most of their names correctly (Kiren - Kirin, rasingan - Rasengan), you make global aspects into rip off's. You're just being biased, there's still something like coincidence. Naruto didn't got inspired by HxH, unless maybe very small details, but you can hardly call that inspiration and there's no way to prove it unless Kishi himself states it. Also don't post links anymore or I'm going to infract you.
