Thinking back about it, Kishi really sucked in character development front

[CurseSealofEarth]

I agree Kishi makes amazing backstories, and I am not expecting Kishi to focus an entire chapter on them just give them more panel time, show change in their personalities, at least give them some significance.:yeah:

Ya I agree, Kishi missed that potential these characters had.

I don't want Kishi to dedicate chapters to them, I just want few of them to do something rather than just standing out there and watching Naruto fight, and that too on their own, and these characters are there from the beginning of the series, there are many people who support characters from K11, because initially when they were introduced each of them has something different. Consider, Tenten he could have easily developed her as good weapon user.:yeah:

Kishi is dragging this out as it is, I don't care about K11 anymore and I just want it to be finished.

 

[chaos control]

Most of the K 11 weren't that important to begin with. It would just waste time to go in depth about all of them. That's why Kishi leaves that to anime filler.

Yea, It looks weird when just some are fighting when there are thousands of shinobis.Lack of randomness.Why is nt any of those shinobis has a summon or KG or a powerfull jutsu.They are just standing and watching but in the end story is all about Naruto

 

[Shura]

We should stay on topic shouldn't we?? I am not obsessed by her, I am obsessed by that anime.:|

You're obsessed by that anime? Nigga... It better have Ecchi then.....

@On-Topic. Meh, he could have worked on them, but trying to give eleven different characters some good character development when they are only supposed to be Naruto's friends might have been a bit hard for him so he didn't pay much attention to them.​

 

[Meekz89]

So basically you meant that Sai, Ino, Chouji have significance in story, and their character developed?
Can you please explain Ino's case, I mean she was pretty much one sided character with her love for Sasuke, which is still according to me is the case. Neither she got any power-up or improved powerwise.:yeah:

Ino has surpassed her father. She can communicate with the whole alliance without bleeding from the nose.

 

[EternalFlame]

I agree. I mean most of them weren't developed that well even in part one.

If you're in it for the action and epicness then Part II is definitely your stop. If you're in it for the story, okay character development and plot progression that actually make sense instead of nonsensical "PnJ" nonstop then Part I is your stop.

Part II has had some good arcs, but I prefer part I overall.

 

[SixPathsOfTobi]

Lee was developed too, we know everything about all those people.. people like kiba, ino and tenten just aren't that interesting they've had basic lives.. nothing to go into.

to me it's all one part that you can't split up, it's only a timeskip..

That anime has some good mysteries, you have to use your brain which isn't possible in Ecchi. Did you ever try to watch that anime?
O.T.-He didn't pay attention at all to them, I don't want to get power-ups but good panel time, and good character may do, but Kishi just left them as they were.

With Kyuubi cloak, i.e.

It's on my 'watch later' list, but pls. u_u You have to use your brain in Ecchi animes. You can't simply watch Ecchi, you have to understand Ecchi.

@On-Topic. I guess, but honestly other characters such as Hidan (if he got a proper background and a better arsenal) could have been a lot more interesting than characters like Sai or Tenten for an example. I assume Kishi just decided to work on other characters instead.​

 

[paratise]

Hinata did not develop more then sucking Naruto-kun deeper. Having more paneltime does not make her more developed when she is always on the same loop.

I would say most developed and well written ones from k11 side characters are Lee and Neji. Their development was part 1 only but still better than what Kiba, Tenten, Shino, Hinata etc. got. And they are actually humanly written.

 

[Mellanoma]

Originally Itachi was going to be the main/final villain and if you notice the series went to crap after he died lol

Hidan was limited to one arc, but I still agree Kishi sucked on his development too.

Hinata actually got development, she was just a 'regular girl' with absolutely no self confidence in part-1, she pretty much developed and become a character who can give confidence to someone like Naruto.

Originally Itachi was going to be the main/final villain and if you notice the series went to crap after he died lol

Itachi is still a good character.

I know he is a good character. I was simply saying the series was at it's peak when Pain fought Naruto Sasuke Fought Itachi. everything was in sequence. After that though things started getting crazy and slowly declining.

Pain Arc should have been stretched out much more and should have been the series ending or atleast implemented the current war into the Pain Arc

 

[Lay]

Well... He can't devolop all characters in this same manga. It will be too much. They all developed but he didn't show them

 

[Raekwon26]

It's really bad the more you think of it.

 

[~Naruto&Itachi~]

I get it! V for Vegetables, right?!?

Rookie mistake it's actually Visa

OMG there is so much to say how Ino improved.

nope K11 were never the "major supporting characters".. that is where people make a mistake.

They were the same as akatsuki. They got time in Part 1, because it was about Naruto's childhood.. you can't talk about his childhood without lookin at the other kids.

However, when it comes to development of characters kishimoto did a pretty good job. Ay/Killer B/Danzo/Hiruzen/Minato/Kushina/Hashirama/Madara/Obito/Rock Lee/ Neji/Itachi.. many more


Its the same concept followed by One piece with the mujiwaras....They simply have more time since they are a crew and constantly are the main stars as a whole. But even then the development of luffy compared to the others.. is huge. I mean Zoro is pretty much stale in regards to character development. Sanji is still the same, just more annoying now.... though Ussopp would change.. but nope same still. Only character development Nami and Robin really got are, having their boobs shown more.


Even in fairytail.. Natsu's development just sh*ts on everyone elses

Toriko .. same thing..

But if kishi never wanted to treat them as major supporting characters, why he cared to give each and every one of them different trait, and gave at least decent development to someone like Neji? If he wanted to show them as Naruto's childhood friends, he could have simply left them as 'Naruto's childhood friends', with nothing special at all, but it wasn't the case. Take an example of Kiba, he was good with sensing in part-1, but in part-2 his sensing was hardly used. Kishi could have gave him some backstory, because he had 'potential'.
Now on one piece, it is but obvious Luffy's character is developed more, because he is 'protagonist',but it isn't like others don't have development at all.O_O
Look at Zoro, he was pretty much ruthless at the beginning towards opponents, moved on to become a nice hearted guy who can help out even Marines, which he did in Punk Hazard arc.
Usopp's lies aren't now 'lies'.
Chopper has neither fear nor grudge towards human, he accepted himself.
I agree on Robin and Nami, but atleast they have some backstory, what about someone like Tenten who has absolutely no significance?

 

[-Sky-]

Character development has been there from time to time . Though I admit he forgot about several of the K11 .

I do give him credit for part 1 though . Character development was excellent across the board .
