A weak, irrelevant character. Moegi for example, is a fodder.

they suck,a push over, easily defeated

 

[SuperFlyzzED]

Someone who is weak or not having the honor of being called strong, because the character is useless in every way.

I don't know why people have to use that so much. I understand what it means and all but I just don't care to use it

Fodder shinobi/ninja means : someone who isn't known , or isn't important to the plot ..like most of the random shinobi you see in the war for example .

 

[Punk Hazard]

Any character that Kishi can kill off casually.

 

[OnPoint]

It's a misused term. 'Fodder' relates to an unimportant character who is nameless and is just there for plot reasons. For example, a member of the allied shinobi force can be considered to be 'fodder', as could a Zetsu clone. However, what you'll find is, anyone deemed to be weak per say (Tenten or Ino for instance) will be called 'fodder', although this is not in itself correct since these characters play a part in the storyline and are well known.

it's caca.

 

[gordo1]

Any irrelevant character due to either lack of significance to the plot or lack of power. Usually goes by (on NB, anyway) lack of power.

 

[SuperFlyzzED]

it's caca.

wtf, lol?

 

[Punk Hazard]

It can also mean a ninja who is extremely weak.
Ebisu, Moegi, Udon, TenTen, Kiba, most Allied Force Shinobi can be examples of fodder.

 

[yellowxflash]

irrelevant characters that dont matter, really the only fodder in naruto is the zetsus, chunin and genins but characters like rock lee, neji, hinata and ten ten fit into this bracket sort of; because they get no air time like they used to... you had you're 5 minutes now get out

 

[MisterMario]

wtf, lol?

LoL xD

He hit it on the head

 

[Gooner4life]

Its is misused a lot, you will see people like Tenten or Shino called fodder although they actually aren't. Here on NB it is used almost synonymously with weak, but it actually means a character who doesn't or hasn't played a role in the story and rather is there to fill up the setting and make it more real, eg. most of the Shinobi alliance members.

Worthless, Not relible, Weak, not really participated in the anime is my words for "Fodder" U_U
