When do you think Naruto's power scaling should have ended?

[fastrthnwind]

Power scaling should have stopped at the rinnegan. Pain should have been the strongest person to ever live with the rinnegan followed closely by Obito with his MS.

Things went overboard after EMS, the War Arc, and MS spam with practically no repercussions.

I agree, Pain arc should have been where the power level stops. It wasn't that bad as a powerful technique like Itachi's susanoo still had heavy drawbacks. I also think the series should have ended there as well, wrapping up all the remaining loose ends.

Everything got ridiculous that susanoo can slice up mountains, Hashirama's budda towering over mountains, Naruto's tbb spam etc. Right now it's all about who has the most hax and nukes.

I think the Pein Invasion Arc should have been the end of the it. I'd be perfectly fine with Pein being on the same level as Madara and Hashirama, and most other high level ninja being either a bit weaker to slightly stronger than Pein.

I miss Part 1 Naruto.

It increased drastically during the Pain arc; i think if the power levels developed slower are steadily like before; the Pain2s invasion arc level would come up later; and that level would be the top.

But for example; the f**ker called susanoo get introduced to us.

Then this f**ker had varieties; ribcage susanoo, complete susanoo, susanoo army, perfect susanoo, this f**ker also can even shoot an arrow, it had the perfect defense, also a haxxed offense.

Power scale would end in this level if it goes on this rate:

There will be a susanoo parade which is taken the ride by susanoo shaped cars, so they will keep being susanoo-the haxxed defense while getting ride by other susanoos, also the other susanoos will watch them in awe while they are making the parade.

I remember the good times when kunai could kill people.:scorps:

this.......
Now Kunai are so useless...

Power ups and OP Jutsu shoulda stopped after the Pain Arc, with the exception of Tailed Beast Transformation, although Naruto's is just a LITTLE bit too OP. Then again, it is the main character. I also don't like how the Rinnegan is reappearing so much now, should've stopped with Nagato. Pretty stupid how Konan didn't just destroy Nagato's eyes so no one would take them, I mean she knew Obito was coming for them...

I can imagine that.

Best comment on this thread.

I disagree, there's been plenty of tactical thinking in this arc. You've probably been to overwhelmed by the visual effect to notice it though. Tactics have only been thrown out the window recently. However, before we come to a conclusion let's see what happens after the shinobi world war arc.

I don't think power scaling is the problem behind tactics decrease. The problem is that currently there are only 4 absolutely OP characters and no one else is comparable. These fights could easily have tactics if the other characters where at least comparable or there are OP techniques that have certain weaknesses. This could be easily resolved if Naruto leads the ninja world to a new age, and characters get buffed as a result and overpower the previous generation.


Again, let's wait and see what happens.

For me from the time Naruto hit Sage mode that was strong enough and i think now that BM exists SM has taken the more background position.

Part 1 in terms of power was pretty subtle which i partly disliked but shippuden is just ridiculous.

I think the power scalign between the k11 should not have been such a huge gap behind of Naruto and Sasuke

Either end of part 1 or beginning of part 2. I think rasenshruiken should have been narutos most powerful tech, and he should have learned a broader range of techniques from then on, like various toad summonings, some ranged skills, maybe a weird genjutsu or something. Some things to add to his fights, so that there's more then just shadow clones + rasengan. Of course naruto needs sage mode to throw rasenshruiken so I guess that would have to be included if I said that...

I think sage mode as V. Powerful would have been a good place to stop the power-ups. MS shouldn't exist; itachi would simply be good at genjutsu and no sus, ama, etc. Sasuke would branch out away from his dojutsu onto more elemental techinques, or maybe improve by fighting ninjas and copying their techniques.

Overall I think any point from end of part one to sage mode naruto would be a good place to stop. This isn't including the 4-tails fight which was a bit too OP for my taste.

basically; keep the fight integrity by allowing all the new skills to not take away from the cool taijutsu and in-battle tactics in part 1.

At the level of Pein. That's the furthest it should've went IMO.
