Obito lost his right arm a couple times and been revived a lot. Madara lost his right arm to the bijuus and has been revived twice (edo & rinne). Naruto lost his right arm to Sasuke. Kaguya also has been revived and lost her right arm and same with Minato. Sasuke lost his left but it's still similar since it happened a while after being revived.

Even the gedo mazo lost its right arm. Is there some Japanese symbolism for losing your right arm, or does Kishi have a thing for arm amputation?

Honorable mention to Raikage that also lost an arm.
Edit: Jiraya too

You've been reading the manga backwards this whole time.

Because Kishi thinks that a missing armed man is badass.

You also forgot Jiraiya.

Jiraya also lost his right arm while fighting Pain.

You can add that to Kishi's hobby of letting characters gouge each others' eyes out as well. Lol

That's as farthest he can go in hurting his characters.

Right arm? Sasuke lost his left arm... And I think you are wrong about some others too not that I am going to bother to check which arm it was...

You need to read more. There is a whole world beyond OP.

I also believe, that he inspired himself off of series such as HxH, along with OP.

Go more back. It's not like HXH was the first one either.

More like try for original Sasuke Sarutobi series... though there are older but that's the oldest you can find images of and maybe some translated ones too would be from 1960s.

One handed Ninjas or be it ninja magic aka jutsu.

Found one:

Female ninja Hotarubi

The dialogue in that panel I posted:

Hotarubi: "A ninja lives by her jutsu …… / even if I die, if my jutsu remains, I will come back to life."

And

yep Jiraiya lost his left one:


Do did Kaguya.
