LEAST FAVOURITE STORY ARC AND WHY.

(Poll being added)

Well parts of the war arc have been shitty

 

[AllomnisymbolsparttwoT]

None! I loved all 0:I

 

[Imperfect]

In my opinion...

Any filler that doesn't contribute a certain amount of excitement. Like the one we have right now.

Exclude the Guren filler and maybe "Chikara", but the rest are simply there to make the series longer without any reason for it. Nothing more than padding.

Confining the Jinchuuriki for some naruto stupidity

 

[narutodarkfox]

i like all the main the story arcs

 

[Lucidus]

the shinobi war has been my least favourite i just dont think it has lived up to all the hype about it.. i feel like there should have been more casualtys in order to make the hokages coming to the battlefeild more needed

 

[Awesome G]

search for tsunade arc. The sanin battle was a huge let down.

Tenchi bridge is not an arc its a bridge within an arc lol
Shinobi world war arc is my least favorite.
It completely makes any possible chance of conflict after this arc impossible without ruining the overall arching theme.
It also made it impossible to show character development for anyone other then sasuke and naruto by stupidly refusing to show any battles of significance for our supporting cast in any sense.

This arc really ruined the pacing of the series

tenchi bridge was borderline stupid and the rescue the kazekage arc could've went alot better even though it was the first arc of shippuden I wish the fight had temari in it as well and actually going back and forth with deidara xd

 

[Cruciatus]

Hidan and Kakuza was probably my least favorite. I feel like the villains were hastily introduced, and all together had no backstory except being the "immortal" pair. Also, Asuma was killed off after having knocked up Kurenai (cliche). And Kakuza seemed to just be a showcase for the Rasenshuriken. However, Kakuza's theme is my favorite from the anime so it wasn't all together terrible

It's a nice way to describe the 'Sasuke & Sai' or the 'New Team Kakashi' arc without it sounding as lame aha.

It seems to have the most votes...? That makes me sad. It's literally my favourite arc in Shippuden.

 

[BlacLord™]

Rescue the Kazekage arc was my least favourite canon arc, still liked it though.

 

[HungryMaelstrom]

Sannin battle arc was cool.... jaraiya was about to off itachi and kisames top... not to mention we see amaterasu for the first time....AND how to stop the flames from burning ---- If you get my drift...

The invasion of Pain arc. The action is good, but the writing is awful. Don't kill your characters if you're just going to revive them Kishi. This isn't DBZ. I also disliked that aspect of Chiyo giving her life for Gaara. But the Pain arc's use of talk no jutsu with the Rinne rebirth is like a direct slap saying 'screw you, I do what I want.'

 

[Slug Princess Tsunade]

For me the Sannin arc was the best.
The worst? Maybe the Hidan and Kakuzu arc...

I guess it does have a better ring to it.
I bet the only reason its being voted as the worst is because of the filler in between.
This thread should of stated the arcs within the manga not the anime version.

 

[Sanguis]

the anime made Rescue the Kazekage the worst for me.

Gaara's constant moaning.

Sakura's pathetic fighting.

This thread should of stated the arcs within the manga without flash backs cutting it up in between.

Whoops I kinda thought i'd made it manga only by not including the anime filler arcs but yeah I could've made it clearer. And which flashbacks do you mean? Even with the filler, I love the arc because it tries a totally different tone, the whole thing is basically a character study of Sai, has beautiful animation and fights and leads to Sasuke & Naruto finally meeting.

It probably also helps that i'm a massive fan of Yamato & Sai.

Well, I kind of agree with this too. Chiyo reviving Gaara was one thing because she traded her life for his, but Pain reviving everyone who died was overkill. It was like death wasn't being taken seriously.
