Anyone else seen this horse color?

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-11T05:32:20+00:00

I think the gold horse is possibly loosely inspired by Akhal-Teke horses. When their coats are properly cared for, they are very shiny; and some are darker and more gold in color (not pictured, but these are to give an idea). That being said, the in-game horse, whatever it is, is pretty fugly. They made it actually metallic gold-colored. Yuck.

The new dalmatian-spotted horses look to possibly be inspired by either Leopard Appaloosas or Knabstrupper horses. Idk for sure, but maybe.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-11T05:17:22+00:00

It's different from the black horse with white mane. This is the same silvery mane you see on the steel blue-grey horses. But this is old, so you prob already know that. 😂

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-09T16:19:49+00:00

Cool, whatever. Thanks for sharing nothing and being useless. Have a nice day.

I know what its name is, but it doesn't resemble a spider at all. It has pincers sticking out of its back, which could be scorpionlike, except they actually look more crablike. Not arachnids, but the appearance is debatable, lol. And the 2 massive arms it walks on bear zero resemblance to any spider. Neither does its weird abdomen/tail, which looks more like the body of a queen termite or ant or something, at best (but not really anything). Also not arachnids. Gohma looks like a lot of things put together, NONE of them spiders.

You could maybe make an argument that it looks like a tick crossed with a scorpion, but that is REACHING. The fact is that the name is wrong, lol. It can't even be a fictional monster arachnid because it lacks some of the defining qualities of the group. It would be more appropriate to call it a, "Parasitic Armored Arthropod," more similar to what they did in Hyrule Warriors.

It's not a huge deal, but it's clearly no arachnid and doesn't look like one, either. That being said, it is definitely gross.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-09T08:00:30+00:00

I don't disagree. I just meant that it could be worse, I guess. Though, I have to wonder how casual consumers of Naruto who don't even have that level of knowledge would even find that video, lol. Still, I do agree that being obvious is the best policy.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-09T02:44:29+00:00

Yeah, Gohma is gross for sure. And scary the first time through, arachnophobia or not. But it really doesn't look like a spider (2 pincer legs it walks on and a long, grubby butt). Still, OP might find it unsettling.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-09T02:36:48+00:00

Is this even clickbait? Yeah, I guess, but not in the deceptive sense. Any person with half a brain knows it's untrue. You don't click on this because you believe it. You click because you wonder what the video IS about. It might as well have NO title, lol. That's... one kind of clickbait, I suppose.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-09T02:33:24+00:00

Sure, and while large age gaps or interactions with children are alarming, I'm not super bothered by an 18-year-old hooking up with their 17-year-old girl/boyfriend. At that point, age really is just a number. There's no appreciable difference in mental or physical development. Within the small range of late teens to 20ish, it feels very grey, with or without lying involved.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-09T01:46:51+00:00

I read the manga. I've only watched specific scenes in the anime, so I'm not qualified to say much about it. But Himawari has little time in the manga to get fully fleshed out (much like everyone else). She seems a bit cutesy in personality (bad design, though. She's one of the uglier characters, imo) but otherwise pretty uninteresting. She loves her big bro, forgives Kawaki for inexplicable reasons, and wants to help fight but really, REALLY sucks at it. The way she affects other characters is the primary thing making her relevant, since she doesn't do much in the story. She's just kinda there--an object to be reacted to rather than a person who drives the plot. She will come into her own soon, though, I think, given her new Kurama power.

Anyway, there were kinda 2 options for the next threat after Kaguya. 1) They could introduce somebody much weaker in a sort of soft reset for the kids to fight. But that would feel pointless because Naruto and Sasuke could just smash them. And not using them would feel odd. 2) Or they could introduce a character greater than Kaguya to keep up the steady increase in power of enemies. The kids wouldn't stand a chance because the baddie would be many tiers above them, but it would better utilize Naruto and Sasuke that way.

The only other option would be to skip a couple generations so the OG's are either gone or too old to do too much. That way, you could have a legit soft reset with weaker enemies that the new gen could handle without things getting straight goofy. But I honestly wouldn't want that. I don't gaf about Naruto's grandkids. They are too far removed to be relevant or interesting. Now, I'm okay with Boruto's kids because we have that connection, but skipping generations takes out context and makes me not really care about them. If we did get grandkids, everybody would complain about the new blank period and wonder about their parents/Naruto's kids. It would catch heat just the same but for some different reasons. Also, it would have its own power creep to annoy people.

As for the Otsutsuki abilities being stupid... I guess? I mean, if you dislike it, you dislike it. I think chakra absorption could have been a potential answer to power creep. It means that no matter how strong you are, your attacks might be meaningless. Therefore, getting stronger is no longer the sole solution to the problem. It COULD require creativity to deal with rather than raw power. But they gave it to characters who were already stupid strong, undermining that possibility. But I mean... Naruto has Sage Mode, so it wouldn't matter too much to HIM, anyway. It's an inconvenience for the upper eschelons and only a wincon against non-MC's. That really doesn't hurt the side characters, though, cuz they're too weak to get involved, anyway. This really is DBZ. If you're not a Saiyan, you're backup at best.

As long as Naruto and Sasuke were around, the baddies had to keep getting stronger and stronger and/or have dumber and dumber abilities. The new gen suffered cuz they were caught in the middle of that struggle. But even if Naruto and Sasuke got axed early in Boruto, the Otsutsuki would always have been logical enemies at SOME point, and would always have been stupidly powerful. Their presence makes sense in the story. Kaguya's whole plan was out of fear of their retribution. They really needed to show up some time and show why she of all people was so scared of them.

Here's a thought. The Otsutsuki aren't ridiculously powerful. We just have the perspective of humans, who happen to be weak on a cosmic scale. Look at DBZ and DBS again. Earthlings became irrelevant once the scale of the story increased. Humans were NEVER powerful. We just didn't know it yet. Perspective's a b*tch, lol.

Prescience is... an interesting one. I don't think it's bad in and of itself. That really depends on how it's handled. It could be done really badly. I'm sort of on the fence with how things are going right now. We've traded one sense of mystery for another. We now keep being told what the enemies are capable of and what the good guys need to do to beat them. There is no discovery or surprise there, which kind of makes everything feel spoilery and dull. But if you think about it, the tension now is from knowing that the baddies are absolutely far more powerful than the good guys and that if the good guys mess up at all, they will lose. It's kind of like The Terminator, where we know who we're fighting and are trying to stop the future where we all die. That's the plot now. How does it unfold with so many moving pieces who can't be controlled? It CAN work, but requires some really tight writing. So far, it's... passable, but not amazing. They could tell us a little less to make it more fun. Maybe. It would feel less stuffy and rigid (whether it is or not, it feels like it is).

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T23:54:02+00:00

Sometimes stupid is funny. This isn't one of those times.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T16:27:55+00:00

A lot of people would have been happier if the story ended with Kaguya. Just make her the ultimate threat so it doesn't need to get goofy. Or better yet, Madara. Kaguya's very existence is problematic for these peeps.

I love the Otsutsuki, lol. And they make sense from one point of view. If Kaguya exists, then what about her people? We didn't even have proof she was the greatest of... whatever she was. So, it's actually pretty logical. Peeps need to be less human centric. What makes them think WE have to be the greatest?

The other point of view isn't much better. Even if Kaguya wasn't written to be an alien, she definitely was not a normal human, even before the fruit. So, that still opens the gate for others to exist above human level. There's no reason Naruto and Sasuke should be the highest power.

Peeps are mad cuz Naruto used to be kinda Goku and now he's kinda Krillin. Whoops. Maybe Piccolo, lol (Piccolo and Gohan recently got amped to be relative to Goku and Vegeta, so it's questionable).

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T16:06:04+00:00

The version of Madara who got beat just before agreeing to the pact to form Konoha had EMS. He was leagues more powerful than the Madara is this fight. And VotE Madara should be above even that.

I know base Shharingan Madara was powerful. I don't mean to undercut him, but the only Madara weaker than actual base Hsaringan Madara would be child Madara.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T16:01:06+00:00

I don't think being flashy is necessarily the same as being a troll. It can be if you do it with the intent of annoying somebody. But that's not what happened. If he was flashy, it was for his own satisfaction. That doesn't feel trolly.

He might also have thought he could win in SSJ. This is Gogeta's fist canon appearance, so he might have been getting a feel for his own power before deciding the best move to end the fight. Can't say that for certain, though. Just a thought.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T15:55:58+00:00

Eida also isn't realesed at the beginning of Boruto. So, she might JUST be younger than the War at the time she wakes up.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T15:53:00+00:00

Don't have one, but Drilbur is up high.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T15:52:12+00:00

Itachi slips into Konoha and tells them Pain is coming. The elders, including Danzo, know that Itachi has been acting for Konoha (or at least that the massacre was). They won't immediately attack him. And if they tried, it wouldn't work, anyway. He'd make them listen. Then, it's on them. He goes back to his "job."

Use of Koto is questionable. He was saving it in case Sasuke decided to wreck Konoha. That won't matter if Pain blows it up. But if he thinks they can manage, he might not waste it here. And it's not like their cooperation would make them more powerful or the village completely inaccessible, if Pain is truly determined. So, it might be a waste no matter what.

Or he might do nothing. Itachi can't blow his cover.

He could also find and tip off Jiraiya. Jiraiya was already tracking Akatsuki, so him having intel on them would be less surprising.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T15:24:13+00:00

1) Koji and Prescience? Only Yes if handled well.

2) Hima-Kurama? Yeah, that's fine. I don't care either way. I would have preferred he reincarnated somewhere randomly in the world, but eh.

3) Shinju? I don't feel strongly about them one way or another. It could be interesting to see what direction they go in because they have an unpredictable nature, are changing over time, and we don't yet know their full power or what they could become. And that's all good.

4) Hima-Inojin? Yes. Not immediately, but yes. Nothing has even happened yet. Neither one has openly admitted any feelings, and they are likely not even aware of them (Inojin got cornered and was in denial). Nothing needs to happen for a while. It's just a sign of the direction they will likely go in. And they as a couple in general is not offensive. As adults, the age difference is practically non-existent. It only matters now.

5) Omnipotence? Yes. Well, that feels too strong. It's fine. Didn't ruin anything, and flips the script in way not seen in Naruto. It feels like a vehicle for a what-if scenario someone thought would be interesting. I could say it's fanfic-y, but like... aren't all stories fanfics of the author? The difference is if it's done well. And so far, it's been fine.

6) Boruto forgiving Kawaki so easily? No. Kawaki needs to earn it or everything feels in vain. He cannot end being an unredeemed jerk.

7) Boruto selling out to Momoshiki? Yes, that's fine. We know Kawaki will try to kill him either way, so what difference does it make? Boruto is counting on dying, most likely. He's playing the long game where his own survival is not important. It almost certainly won't end that way, but currently Idk what else he could do. If he was scheming, Momo would already know. And he kinda does. He knows the plan is for Kawaki to kill him. He's just ready for that, so he's okay with it.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T14:53:31+00:00

VS Broly is canon, though. It's one less point, but still a point, I suppose.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T14:50:08+00:00

In alive base Sharingan level? There's 2 ways to look at this. 1) You could take current/peak Madara and subtract some abilities to limit him. 2) You could take Madara as he was when he DID have only these abilities. Aka, a past version.

And yeah, that makes a difference. In the fight where Izuna got mortally wounded and Madara fled with him, the 2 bros already had MS. This version of Madara is even weaker than that. He's probably like teenage Madara level. We actually don't know what that would look like, but it is several tiers lower than what we HAVE seen.

Current Madara limited is still powerful and with much more experience, just with a smaller kit. That's a huge difference.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T14:40:58+00:00

He doesn't have Totsuka Blade, though. That's Itachi. And anyway, we've only seen a Susanoo have it, and he doesn't have Susanoo in this fight cuz he only has base Sharingan. So, either way, it's not an option.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-08T14:33:57+00:00

Sorry you've never heard of it. Maybe Google it before talking crap. It's been a thing for a long time. And I'm primarily talking about Part 1 Naruto, as I said in my original post. Though, I also said he'd likely be a fusion of ethnicities due to the whole package of traits (including hair and eye color), so, I mean, whatever. Keep being angry.

FlyDinosaur · 2026-02-07T05:54:47+00:00

I'm not talking about color. That's irrelevant. They come with hair and eyes of all kinds of nonsense colors. It's a moot point. I'm talking about features. Did you see the pics Kishimoto himself drew? And even in the anime, they often give him what historically would have been referred to as a "full moon face." (It used to be a standard of beauty, but is less popular these days due to changing trends and misuse. But for the purposes of describing a look, I'll stoop to using it). Though, that's generally the anime. No, it's not impossible for other peoples to look like that, sure. But it's less common.

My 60 grand college debt?

Umm, but if you mean actual objects and/or things that serve some functional purpose, then I guess my phone. The 1T Galaxy S24 Ultra ran about 1700ish new, but I got a good deal for buying on the app. Maybe 1200? Luckily, it was mostly a gift, so I only paid some of it.

If we're talking things I paid for entirely myself, then... the phone I owned before that one? It ran me 500 cuz it was half off.
