#10 - Gai surviving 8 Gates

You must be registered for see images


Topping the list off, is the asspull we are all familiar with. The most famous one of all. It's been stating since part 1 that going to the 8th gate means absolute death. When this didnt happen, fans of the series were not happy. However, it is only number 10 because kishi did a great job of using Naruto's Yin/Yang abilities to counter the death.


#9 - Naruto Kyuubi Healing

at #9 we have one of the most anticipated fights in the manga. Naruto vs Sasuke pt.1. It easy to see how having the Kyuubi inside you gives you free range to pull assail after asspull. However, healing a large hole in your body is one i never expected. And its also one we've never seen again since.


#8 - Naruto Kyuubi Cloak stopping Orochimaru's Snake

as cool as this was, its hardly plausible even for a kid possessing the demon fox spirit to stop a huge snake moving at that speed. Especially when the kid is only using the least powerful version of his cloak. I call asspull


#7 - Curse Mark Senjutsu Susanoo

don't you dare sit there and try to defend this sh!t. This was an asspull if I've ever seen one. The amount of connections and explanations they had to provide just to justify this asspull is direct evidence to that.


#6 - TenTen using Sage Tools to fodderize Kakuzu

I guess they needed to find a way to make her seem useful. As a self-acclaimed TenTen aficionado, i could've found literally a dozen different ways TenTen could be useful in any situation. (Watch the filler where Gai explains her potential to get an idea). But nope. they went the lazy route and had her found some OP tools to make quick work of an otherwise OP villain. Asspull.


#5 - Mei not using Corrosive Steam against Susanoo

You must be registered for see images


Till this day, i still find myself getting upset everytime i watch this fight. Mei Terumi who had the perfect jutsu against Sasuke's Susanoo, all of a sudden forgets to use it against Madara. Her jutsu literally melts Susanoos. But no she rather spit water at them. This is more of reverse asspull where the character was nerfed to serve the plot.


#4 - Gaara Skin Shield

You must be registered for see images


no. way. in. hell. I don't care what anyone says, Gaara should be dead after what lee did to him. But no, he had an even extra layer of skin on top of his already layer shield on top of his ultimate defense. Yea, the guy who has sand that automatically defends him, has TWO extra layers of protection just in case. Bullsh!t.


#3 - Sasuke surviving C0

You must be registered for see images


Just no. This is Asspull 101.


#2 - Kisame Zetsu

You must be registered for see images


So let me get this straight... Kisame had the state of mind to know to switch with Zetsu at the moment where Bee appeared to be thoroughly incapacitated. Seems unlikely. But whatever Kishi, its your manga. and we love it


#1- Kamui Resurrection

You must be registered for see images


Are you really surprised? Obito literally broke the manga with his Kamui Resurrection. If this wasn't the ultimate sign that Kishi was tired of trying then i don't know what is. Never before has someone transcended death in such a perverse way. Nothing was alluded to, referenced, foreshadowed, hinted or even remotely explain by how Obito was able to come back to the living and possess Kakashi via 'Chakra Kamui' granting him a Dual Mangekyo Sharingan and subsequently granting him a Perfect Susanoo. Baffling doesn't begin to explain the reach on this one.




*Honorable Mentions:

Ashura and Indra Transmigrants

Black Zetsu killing Madara

Orochimaru continuous inability to die off


Hope you guys enjoyed and feel free to argue against or support any of the claims

I agree with some

but others not so much. For instance how can CM Senjutsu Susanoo even be an asspull if Sasuke controlled senjutsu in past. Orochimaru explains that for us. I didn't think Sage Tools, C0 Escape and Kisame switching were asspulls either.

Don't agree with all. One of em is #5. The susanoo's weren't going to be the only ones affected by her jutsu. The other Kage probably would've been affected as well.

because he got rid of it. every modicum of it. Now he can all of a sudden get it back through Jugo and then fuse it with his susanoo? its not the worst asspull but it seemed sort of convenient considering obito could only be hit with NE

Sage tools because TenTen the tool master, just happen to be the one who found it

C0 has been debated and berated endlessly, and some people have made some fairly good points why sauske shouldn't have been able to escape it considering the way they showed how he did it in the manga. They should've gave him more time, but not at the last microsecond

Kisame should've never switched. He's never done that before with any other Jin (as far as we know) so why would he do it against the 2nd most powerful Jin?

Every Kage had their own 5 Susano to deal with. She could've used it against her 5.

Obito did nothing the sage of six paths didn't do. If DMS kakashi is an asspull so was hogoromo giving sasuke and naruto power ops must be considered one as well, you might as well add it to the list.

I agree though, asspulls litter the manga number one should be BZ or izanami

i personally don't think this is an asspull. I used to, but its Itachi and he's known to always have an ace under his sleeve

Obito isn't the Sage of Six Paths though. Not nearly. The SO6P was known for doing unconventional impossible things (creating Bijuu from nothing, creating the moon, inviting Ninshuu etc)

If you read the Kabuto it talks about Kabuto gaining senjutsu by using Juugo chakra. Juugos clan has the innate ability to harness senjutsu. So Sasuke had Juugo draw out senjutsu and Sasuke fused it into his susanoo. Of course he can conventiently use it because he mastered it within 3 years of training. That's 3 years with senjutsu practice.



Sage tools because TenTen the tool master, just happen to be the one who found it
Wouldn't be any different than a main character ending up with rasengan a weapon for tailed beast

C0 has been debated and berated endlessly, and some people have made some fairly good points why sauske shouldn't have been able to escape it considering the way they showed how he did it in the manga. They should've gave him more time, but not at the last microsecond

Fair enough but Sasuke was described in the DB to have god speed. He was evading all of Diedaras explosions in the last seconds so maybe Sasuke was just way too fast in that arc...

Kisame should've never switched. He's never done that before with any other Jin (as far as we know) so why would he do it against the 2nd most powerful Jin?

So that he can lure him to Naruto. They were entering a war against all 5 nations.

Indeed he was shown to be on another level however besides creating the bijuu there was nothing he did that others didn't do, albeit on a smaller scale. Nagato, madara and sasuke all used chibaku tensei, obito and madara became juubi jinchuriki. Almost every feat he performed before obito's return from the dead was replicated in some way. Given this it didn't surprise me when obito returned and powered up kakashi. As for ninshuu naruto replicated it without even knowing what ninshuu was, see, the sage of six paths feats could be replicated.

None of these are asspulls. An asspull would be the revelation of a brand new concept. An ex machina that is unfeasible and shoehorned in. None of these fit.

Care to explain why Minato's Sage Mode was an asspull?

The reason why he didn't used Sage Mode along with Naruto back then was because he entrusted everything to his son while helping him, AND besides his Sage Mode was not that good.
When Madara became the Juubi Jinchuriki, Minato was the only one standing there with a little hope left, and that was Sage Mode, because Kakashi, Sakura and Gaara wouldn't have done anything there.

Now, I said mine, your turn.

Ninshuu is only possible because of Hagaromo. Naruto is just the 1st to utilize it (or 2nd if you count Ashura)

and Obito and Madara were only capable of performing these feats because they were JJs. Obito wasn't a JJ when he used Kamui Resurrection.

When I see a thread by you I immediately know it's going to be crap.

When i see your sig, i understand thats how you feel about your life
