Re: Kishi's Mistake / Reason for "Downhill".

this guys talking like hes a better writer than kishi

Lol no way.

Kishi just messed up. Everyone who writes knows about this trap. It's known to kill both logic and plot.

Just look at all the trolling after Nagato's death.

Re: Kishi's Mistake / Reason for "Downhill".

Though really difficult to avoid, Kishimoto didn't implement enough plots for it to develop later.

The more plots get resolved, the less there is.

Sooner or later Kishimoto is forced to improvise and develop from thin and stretched plots.
I guess this is the major cause of "asspulls" and "trolls".

I'm a writer myself, I don't blame Kishimoto. For a series that's been running for a decade its really difficult to develop a chapters without a new arc.

Can you write us your version of Naruto? So we can see and grasp your brilliance?

Re: Kishi's Mistake / Reason for "Downhill".

There's still some plots that haven't been resolved. Such as Hamura's role in all of this, Why Kaguya wanted everyone's chakra, What are Sasuke's true motives that have been hinted at for a while, Naruto vs Sasuke, if they are going to fight, Who's going to be the new Hokage, What are Kabuto and Orochimaru going to do after the war, etc.

But yeah the way Kishi resolves his plots sometimes annoy me, especially when they don't make any sense.

Too many people here are butthurt to admit Kishi went from good to terrible.

I nearly dropped the series when Madara got killed. But being a fan since the humble beginnings its hard to let go lol

So Kishi's "brilliant" writing got you attached.

It wasn't bad at the beginning.

Ever since the Pain Arc the series was literally drifting away from smart battles and tactics, felt less "ninja-ish" and more DBZ.

The destructive direction is probably the laziest way to please fans.

If you're gonna base a manga off ninjas at least don't break the theme. It's like Goku learning how to drive and participating in the Grand Prix to save the world.

He already said in one interview that he wished he'd have introduced more things earlier in the series that could have been expanded upon later on down the road, so I agree with your statement.

I know i'm not saying that the current manga isn't bad, you said in the OP that Kishi has ran out of plots which is what I was replying to. There's still many of plots left it's just how Kishi's been resolving them which creates the plot holes.

Because it's rushed and the Kaguya arc was the worst arc in the history of Naruto.

It only lasted 10 chapters. The most powerful character in all of Naruto with all Chakra Natures and KKG was mentally handicapped. She also received no character development whatsoever.

It's going downhill because the plot is getting uninteresting.

Yeah, keep in mind that mangakas often can't show everything they wish due to editors' demands, deadlines etc..
