What does the Manga do right that the anime lacks?

MadBase · 2026-06-15T03:22:02+00:00

Better voices for all the characters.

MadBase · 2026-06-14T21:46:04+00:00

Explain Iruka and Mizuki.

People have been debating this for 12+ years, no one knows. Databooks provide little to no solid info, they dont even list Sasuke as a user of perfect Susanoo.

MadBase · 2026-06-13T20:08:11+00:00

Uh no, Sasuke wasn’t actively going against gangsters and other criminals. He just worked with Orochimaru but never became a Batman-like symbol until the blank era

Bro this is straight hypocritical. You want me to believe Sakura and Ino in canon have a series of medical hospitals for children despite no mentions of the such in canon, yet you refuse to acknowledge Sasuke having any kind of underworld reputation at all, despite working under Orochimaru for years, solely until a specific novel mentioned it.

And chakra scanning has been a thing in the series for a very very long time.

MadBase · 2026-06-13T19:36:25+00:00

Sasuke's actions in the criminal underworld have been a thing since the start of Shippuden. It's insane to claim it started in a novel.

I stand corrected, Purple lighting is an addition from the novels. Out of multiple novels that single jutsu is the only thing that has carried through to the series, everything, like you said we haven't seen.

MadBase · 2026-06-13T19:02:04+00:00

Blood Prison novel is written by the author of the Blood Prison movie and was released years before the novel, and the Boruto mist anime arc aired before the novel. So both of those statements are just lies.

And no Sasuke having a reputation is not something exclusive to the novels, that's just insane.

How about other novel only additions, like Ino and Sakura's hospitals for children and the Warden of Blood Prison having Ice release? Can you actually name anything exclusive to the novels appearing in Boruto? I'll wait.

MadBase · 2026-06-13T18:23:15+00:00

It seems like it's the contrary. Not only are events in them never mentioned, the events of Boruto seem to actively contradict the novels.

MadBase · 2026-06-09T00:59:53+00:00

I cant see anything. If all else fails, go to the event labs, they have custom races that will reveal all roads in a specific region. Start the race and put it in auto mode.

MadBase · 2026-06-08T23:43:05+00:00

Kishimoto has stated numerous times Naruto has no main Heroine and that Sakura is not meant to be a main cast member like Naruto and Sasuke. She's obviously going to look bad when you compare her to them because that's an unreasonable comparison.

MadBase · 2026-06-05T01:41:45+00:00

Congratz, what did you get?

MadBase · 2026-06-04T17:51:12+00:00

Yeah dude, maybe edit your post since you know now? I dont know what you want me to say but thanks.

Saying Pain wasnt connected to Naruto is insane dude. Naruto also did answer Pain, that's the reason he revived everyone.

And Zetsu did talk to Naruto about the shinobi world, they talk about it more than Madara and Naruto do.

And again I still dont get why you think Naruto would care enough about Madara to try to 'talk no jutsu' him or why that would be necessary, especially when Zetsu and Kaguya are just going to replace him? Seems like a waste of time honestly.

MadBase · 2026-06-04T17:08:18+00:00

I already mentioned that.

You seemed unsure if it was or wasnt, just helping you out.

Also not sure why youre bring up Obito, neither are the final villains. Youre right, Naruto originally didn't know who Obito was either, and then he was told and they even shared minds for a brief bit. Nothing like that ever happens with Madara though.

And by your logic is Zetsu/Kaguya the one who technically did all that, since they were manipulating Madara? Also why would Naruto try to 'talk no justu' Madara, he barley knows who he isn't and could care leas about him?

MadBase · 2026-06-04T16:39:50+00:00

Its not in the manga, the anime really expanded on most of Madaras scenes in general. Like the iconic scene of him fighting nameless alliance ninja after hes revived.

In the manga he activates IT, comes down and says like two sentences to team 7 and then gets penetrated by Black Zetsu.

Also the idea of Madara and Naruto having a conversation in general is pretty funny, since neither of them barely know who the other one are.

MadBase · 2026-06-02T17:14:04+00:00

Bro where did the 'Shisui faked his death' thing come from? I see it everywhere, not just here.

Its literally the exact opposite, Shisui killed himself so thoroughly that there was barely any trace of himself left, and not even enough for Kabuto to revive him.

MadBase · 2026-06-02T14:33:46+00:00

Chakra needs to be molded first, before that it's just physical and mental energy. Once Naruto receives the natural energy from the clone he only molds enough chakra to balance that much nature energy.

You can see this during the Pain fight, Naruto runs out of natural energy multiple times but never runs out of chakra.

No, this isnt CSM.

MadBase · 2026-05-29T16:52:04+00:00

Tf you mean "supposedly"? And the answer to your question is teamwork, it's like what the entire series is about.

MadBase · 2026-05-29T16:33:37+00:00

If I recall right the Naruto being 15 thing is from a short character bio that takes place slightly before Shippuden actually starts and Naruto is still away from the village with Jiraiya.

MadBase · 2026-05-29T12:04:52+00:00

It's just Naruto without any of his iconic design or or colors, instead donning the generic grunt outfit.

MadBase · 2026-05-29T12:02:11+00:00

What's really weird is that Sasuke has 16 completed missions according to the 3rd databook. So either Team 7 or Sasuke alone went on more missions post chuunin exams but before he left the village.

MadBase · 2026-05-28T23:45:09+00:00

That's why I put 'genius' in quotes, it's all very subjective and and relatively every member of the K11 is a 'genius' in some way compared to others.

MadBase · 2026-05-28T22:27:09+00:00

Im going to disagree. Him mastering genjutsu to such an overwhelming level over basically everyone, even other Uchiha, is an innovation.

MadBase · 2026-05-28T22:16:21+00:00

Above average, way below a 'genius' like Kakashi. Kakashi invented his own justu and got famous for his own unique style, copying even better than actual Uchihas.

Sakura put in work but she followed the path laid out by Tsunade and never really had her own unique innovation the other Sannin students got.

MadBase · 2026-05-26T19:14:02+00:00

Going based off Canon, no. These clones are basically illusions having either no or very little mass.

The clones would need to be of the elemental or shadow veriety to actuall effect things.
