:what: Characters have to die for it to be a good manga? Back to my first point. Plus, look at how many people have died in Naruto. This girl I swear
If there's a war/some life threatening group or force, yes. What else is the manga going to be about? There's no point in watching if you know everyone is going to be happy and survive. >_>

How many people have died in Naruto in scene that I actually care about? 2. I'll give it a four for the people that were sad when we saw Kushina and Minato die even though they were already dead AF since the beginning of the series so I didn't care all that much.

The scene you actually care about? Oh I forgot the manga is tailor made for you :eww: It's not about the quantity of death, it's just about how well planned and thought out that death is. To me, Neji's death was 10x more meaningful than all those people we were introduced to that got eaten by Titans. Sure there was more deaths, but did It shake you the way Neji's death did?

Might be because plot shield doesn't mean sh!t in AOT :l

In one piece for example
Luffy can go to the Navy fight all the admirals get his ass kicked and still survive... >_>

Look, I like Attack On Titan and am updated with it, its a decent series but I don't understand why its popularity sky rocketed like it did. I mean, it was announced that the series recently had gotten more popular then One Piece which was the most popular series to this point.

So why do you think it's so popular?
That opening song though, the rest of AOT coulda been crap but that Opening woulda made it great

Fodders dying don't count is what I'm getting at.

I'll make it a 7 because I forgot Nagato (even though his death was lame and TNJ), Kisame and Konan.

But plot shield was not evident in any of these. Only ones I didn't see coming where Jiraiya and Kisame.

I didn't even remember Neji so I wasn't moved at all.
His death was irrelevant because Kishi killed him off WAAAYYY past when people stopped caring about him. He was kind of useless and not a big player anymore. If he was killed in the chuunin exams or something, that would have been impactful. As it is, he died for a pairing and god knows Obito will revive him anyways.

For me, Asuma's death alone meant 10x as much as any death in AOT.

It's not who dies, but the fact that death can happen at any time.

I don't even remember why he died. Why was he even fighting Hidan?

This.
Kishi kills characters that aren't that important. Unless you are in the minority and actually cared about those characters, it doesn't really matter. SNK makes them important then kills them off almost immediately so they don't become fodder. xD

It's the suspense.

What?!! hahahhahaha. So how come you guys aren't satisfied with these fodders that got massacred by the Juubi? "It's not who dies, but the fact that death can happen at any time."
They weren't even on scene.
They will all be revived I bet.
None of the characters except Naruto even bother to react to their deaths making it less impactful.

Who the f*ck cares about fodders dying. Have anyone seen Game of Thrones? THAT shit is unpredictable. Even the main character(S) aren't save, no one is.

Kill Naruto and Kishimoto have my respect. Or Sakura, or TSUNADE or Hinata. Just kill them off

I think the show is way overhyped and overrated, but I can see why people enjoy it. The best thing about that show, though, is the animation. I.G. did a great job.
