So Kishi isn't writing the movie? there goes my hopes for a good naruto movie.



Bleach
I like that Bakuya's speech basically equates to "dude never showed anyone his bankai and when he finally used it, he died"

LOL

 

[nelsonroyale]

Coby will be Luffy's main rival - his Garp. I'd bet on it.
And to the people whining about Law vs Smoker, did you forget about this?

Fights with DF users aren't just about who's stronger. If someone with proper brains and drive had the fruit Foxxy, a throwaway character from the early days had, they'd be nigh unstoppable.

Yeah, coby will be his main marine rival..blackbeard is likely his main rival though in terms of ambition and conflict

Fukashigi Philia 1-3

This seems fun. Maybe not on the level of Esprit, but it is refreshing to see a dude that goes on about some crazy justice without ever actually killing anyone.

Wait I get it cosmic, you're in the rainbow fest too?

 

[MCD]

Lol at Shikimaru's tongue.

He's consulting. But not writing it all. Considering his writing lately though, it's probably a good thing.

It'll be a good Naruto movie if it, you know, focuses on NARUTO and his parents Minato and Kushina, and Sasuke stays far far away.

Second "arc" done. So he was just a clone. Goddammit, this manga gets weirder by the page flip. Love it!

 

[mysticwhip]

Lol at Shikimaru's tongue.

it's speculation that the charatcer's personalities are switched with the character opposite to them.

shikamaru/kiba
ino/hinata.


also, the markings on Chouji's cheek is different.

I always believed this will happen but most people just laughed at me

How fucking evil is Chicken George? Even Chicken Lucy is kinda wary.

Chicken Lucy is fucking awesome

"Look at my creation Lucy!"

"Y-Yes... aw.. aw shit"

It's definitely looking like an AU. Especially with the character Minato and his VA given top billing in the poster along with Naruto and Sakura. Still wondering how Tobi/Akatsuki might fit into this, since it's the first movie that will feature antagonists from the main storyline.

The popular theory is that this is a timeline where Tobi didn't kill Minato and Kushina, so Naruto grew up with his parents, and who knows how that changed history.

This will be the first Naruto movie I will watch if the plot is similar to this

So I guess no dragons at Wano? ;-;

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT A SECOND

Okay guys let's calm down and think about this for a second. There's a chance Vegapunk didn't create the dragon.

It could just be his pet dragon.

If that were true, why would naruto have the seal on his stomach?

Haha the hipothesis in taking control of reality lolol

Didn't Kushina survive the nine tails extraction? Maybe Minato sealed him inside naruto and they both survived?

 

[smurfx]

one piece

i know most of you are focusing on the ass kicking law gave smoker but law's comment towards smoker asking him what the marines are up to is more interesting. we have kids on this island that had some kinda sickness and they seemed to be cured but yet are not allowed to go home. it seems to be a mix of giant kids and regular kids too. could the world government moved on to spreading some kind of disease to islands that won't come under the world government rule as punishment? maybe those kids aren't allowed to go back since everybody is dead? vegapunk using his skills to create some new disease wouldn't surprise me and maybe elbaf is one of those island targeted. oh and why are you guys surprised to see smoker get his ass kicked? wouldn't be the first time he got beat by a warlord. if it wasn't for luffy crocodile would have killed him off at alabasta and boa smacked him around. he is strong but he isn't anywhere near admiral strength.

 

[RagnarokX]

You seem to be missing the point that Law had to get close and he hid what he was doing from smoker .
If the move was that hax and he could have done it from anywhere why not do at the start of the fight .

Actually Law moved further away. Smoker came in for an attack and Law switched himself with a huge piece of ice to avoid Smoker's attack and fire his heart cube. Smoker is fast, but Law can teleport as long as there are objects in his room.

Law needs enough time to say "Mes" though (preferably as dramatic as possible, with a pause), it doesn't work without that

 

[Combine]

Indeed. While one could argue she was going to eventually die, she possibly could have been saved with immediate medical care (We can always go back and look at Chiyo saving Sakura for a convenient excuse on saving someone who is not yet dead)

 

[Mr. Fix]

could the world government moved on to spreading some kind of disease to islands that won't come under the world government rule as punishment?

Wano comes to mind. They're not affiliated with the WG. Goda strikes with dat allusion once more?

Phew. Just re-read that part. Here's to hoping!

I like how this all seems connected somehow.

That was a nice OT for DMC, almost got me interested in it, but I will try the 2012 DmC since character design is a bit better than that one in the collection.

Baffled how they closed it like that :/

 

[Zekes!]

Cage of Eden is just a pretty dece action manga. Nothing super outstanding, but pretty good. I poured out a heiniken when

my bro Zaji died

I only read the first chapter of Magico but it seems interesting enough for me to read the next couple to see where it goes

He did the storyline. You really think he'd have time for a full-blown script?

its because its bloated and OTs have undergone some limitations since the days of the MGS4 OT and etc

Quite so. And I don't think I'd want him writing the whole script anyway. Its one thing to write and pace a manga, it's a completely different thing to write for a TV/Movie production.

 

[Freshmaker]

This is a perfect way to describe what we're all reading right now.

This is what I liked. I take it Kubo knows that virtually no reader cared about the dude, so he at least had the sense to make us see that the captain commander (and even Byakuya) recognized him.

Ichigo ko'ed him bare handed. Are they really trying to say SS Ichigo was >>>> than a shinigami who'd mastered his powers before anyone else?

Ichigo should've stomped Aizen into the ground without breaking a sweat.

Bleach

one piece

If Oda kills smoker he would be the worst writer ever. He hyped up Smoker to be Luffy´s enemy for 300-400 chapters now, to be killed by a nobody like Law.

Law doesn't seem to be killing anyone. He's what happened to that Samurai after all...

BLEACH

Has Kubo ever bothered to explain how come in Bleach universe people can die twice? People that have died got their soul sent to Soul Society... then they can die again? So what's the point of Soul Society then? It's just weird seeing all the melodramatic scenes about someone dying when, hey!, they're already dead in the first place!

ONE PIECE

So, possible Law x Luffy confrontation? Hmm hmm hmm can't wait. Too bad Oda is taking a break YET AGAIN.

NARUTO

That "getting stabbed turned into crow" thing from Itachi is getting old >__________> Unfortunately I must say that, for a conflict between three supposedly God-Tier people in terms in skills, this battle is rather boring

It's explain that when people in Soul Society die, they get reincarnated to the real world. I guess it's just a vicious cycle of not-dying.
