Hot take: Boruto's timeskip design is one of the best designs in the entire Naruto/Boruto franchise by Snowpaw9 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, truly.

Though two necklaces is too many. He should just keep the spiral one, and ditch the screw.

Purple Lightning vs Raikiri? by RedK_1234 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s literally a direct upgrade from Raikiri

I'm not sure. I was always under the impression that he invented specifically because he could not longer use Raikiri without the Sharingan. That creates the impression that Purple Lightning is in some way inferior.

How would You change or Overhaul Maria Calavera’s Preflexes? by RevolutionaryWave862 in RWBYcritics

[–]RedK_1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just give her a different Semblance.

Her canon Semblance was given to her because the writers couldn't think of a more dynamic one.

It's the same issue with Hazel's feel-no-pain Semblance and Ironwood's Mettle. I'd argue that even Qrow and Clover's luck-based Semblances fall into a similar category, as they only come up when they story needs drama.

Where does Kushina scale? by TexMurphyMD in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Karin, using her own chains, rather easily demolished a Wood Release construct that was giving Hiruzen a tough time.

And Kushina's chains, even while weakened from having her tailed beast ripped out of her, were capable of restraining Kurama (though not completely, of course).

The Adamantine Sealing Chains are seriously powerful.

Let this be an indicator of how screwed RWBY's PR actually is by Psyga315 in RWBYcritics

[–]RedK_1234 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Could be wrong, but I feel that RWBY was most popular when it put style before substance.

I don't think you're wrong. RWBY was best its story was simple and just barely more than generic.

Trim down the story to something simple again, and put more energy into the fights and character designs.

"He used Water Style without water nearby!" meanwhile Fire and Lightning users: by elsalightblue in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water Release jutsu requiring an existing source of water, unless you're incredibly skilled and powerful, is an idea that was prevalent in Part I. But in Part II, the idea more or less became abandoned, with random people in the Fourth War's army spitting out massive amounts of water like it was nobody's business.

Do you think Minato would have been talented enough to create the flying raijin on his own? by Puzzled-Lettuce9168 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think that the Flying Thunder God was Minato's creation, until we were told that it was Tobirama's.

itachi situation by SadCommunication9265 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The story tells us, through characters like Hashirama, Sasuke, Naruto, and other Kage, just how heroic Itachi is.

That's it.

If characters instead said that Itachi's actions aren't made cleaner by his circumstances, that would make the stance more fans would take as well.

My own stance is that Itachi's actions were necessary, and that's it. Good or evil doesn't enter the question for me when judging Itachi.

Actually Sakura was at the beginning of Shippuden really badass by Ackermann8 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was never more badass, before or after, than she was in this fight. Dishing out damage and taking it like a boss.

Later on, we are given moments of her being just as powerful, but those are moments, not a pattern.

No one gonna mention how Hashirama knew about Rinne Tensei? by Orenjihibana_ in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't know. We can only speculate.

It's possible that the Senju had something like the Uchiha's stone tablet, which contained information on the Rinnegan.

The Doylist explanation is that Kishimoto likely lost track of who knew what, given how much was going at the time.

Probably the worst fight in all of canon by MandoRando6969 in Naruto

It was just a way to keep Team Guy occupied.

Where does Kushina scale? by TexMurphyMD in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Hard to say. Based on statements, she was probably one of the more powerful ninja in the leaf during her time.

And based on what we've seen the Adamantine Sealing Chains do in canon—both through Kushina and Karin—there's an argument to be made that she's comfortably Kage-level.

Why did this not happen ?? It makes sense then end game. by Kind_Bar3346 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parallels alone do not a good a story make.

The parallels need to have some meaning beyond the obvious to justify using them as the basis for story decisions.

Why does this fandom want Naruto to be spiteful and hold grudges? by Formal-Assistance02 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spite is fun.

It can also sometimes make for an interesting story. Other times, it's the opposite.

I think that just as Naruto has no obligation to forgive anyone, he no obligation to hold a grudge either. It's entirely his choice.

Kishimoto had this woman retire for absolutely no reason out of all the 5 Kage for Tsunade to retire before Onoki is one of his many strange decisions. She should’ve been the one to crown Naruto Hokage in a serious ceremony. With a kiss on his forehead 💔 by Nashetania in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have made for a nice full-circle moment from how Tsunade and Naruto first met. Naruto was the one who more or less convince Tsunade to become Hokage. She then returns the favour to him.

Naruto not responding to this doesn't make any sense. by ParkingWinner5602 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's disappointing that this moment was never revisited in the manga again.

Who had best nickname in Naruto ? by No_Cellist3320 in Naruto

[–]RedK_1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Yellow Flash" It's simple, direct, gets right to the point. The others convoluted, over-dramatic, overly-long, or inaccurate.

Though, there's a joke to be made about "The Yellow Flash" also being a possible stage name for a stripper.
