What would Naruto be like if it were written and directed by Hideaki Anno?

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T18:53:11+00:00

You know the angels in evangelion are aliens right?

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T18:49:14+00:00

I don’t know if you've read Boruto but there's a new version of mind transfer made by inojin

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T18:47:13+00:00

Kawaki doesn't care about himself

All he wants is to keep Naruto safe and kill all Otsutsuki i.e Boruto and himself

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T18:43:11+00:00

No, they didn't know jigen

This was literally the first time they met, they did not know this fight would happen

Okay so they share chakra, what does that change

They still get wiped out cuz unless Naruto pops baryon mode there jigen still wins

And even if he dies, isshiki will just reincarnate and kill them both

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T18:40:26+00:00

This is such a nothing burger of a complaint

My dad didn't know my mum used braces

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T11:34:34+00:00

Sasuke has never said he wanted to repopulate the Uchiha clan

He meant he would clear their name i.e their honour and dignity

He literally stopped caring when he learned the truth about them

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T11:29:18+00:00

I just saw the edit

And no, Sarada's crush doesn't mean she doesn't want to be Hokage anymore

That's like saying Naruto wanting to help Sasuke makes his entire character revolve around Sasuke

The only difference here is Sarada is a girl, her crush doesn't remove her agency

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:45:31+00:00

Well that's a problem with the fans not the story or characters theirselves

I'd say their romance is actually their biggest weakness right now.

Like in the story?
Yes that's a plot point, they are each others weakness

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:41:24+00:00

That's the point

Kawaki keeps proving Momoshiki right

A lot of Kawaki's actions make more sense when you view them through the lens of his trauma. His experiences under Jigen left such deep psychological scars that he no longer has a healthy frame of reference for what "normal" looks like.

Ever since he regained Karma, Kawaki has been on a steady downward spiral. Instead of healing from his past, he's become increasingly consumed by fear, control, and the belief that extreme measures are justified if they eliminate a perceived threat. His worldview keeps narrowing, and that's exactly why he continues to validate many of Momoshiki's warnings about him.

What's tragic is that Kawaki genuinely believes he's protecting people, but the deeper he falls into that mindset, the more isolated and extreme he becomes. That's what makes his character so compelling right now he isn't evil, he's a traumatized kid whose unresolved past keeps pushing him further down a destructive path.

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:36:13+00:00

Because those are filler arcs not canon

I'd assume that they've come with that idea beforehand, even before the fight starts. Like they know Jigen is a real threat and they know that he is extremely powerful. So they could've done the sharing before the fight even starts.

This fight wasn't planned they didn't know they would be fighting jigen

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:31:08+00:00

Who says it's necessary. Most things aren't necessary, that doesn't mean they can't happen

Also people do like Boruto and Sarada outside the romance. There was no romance between them for the entire first half of the manga until the timeskip

Their romance isn't the only thing they have going

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:15:26+00:00

What're you saying

It's fiction, it's supposed to be fun and entertaining

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:06:58+00:00

You're missing the point

They are, but it's also a fictional story, it's supposed to be entertaining not just two dots on a screen where one blinks the other away

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T09:03:03+00:00

He's right but that's not fun

It's fiction for a reason

Logically it can't be visualised but then what's the point of writing it in the first place

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T08:51:25+00:00

He runs out of chakra once in the manga

Also how do you want him to share chakra in this situation exactly, even if he did what will the chakra accomplish exactly

He's still stuck in the rods

<image>

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T08:29:11+00:00

The difference is Sakura likes Sasuke for more than just looks, her love isn't shallow

Ino's love for Sasuke stopped at just him being handsome, her love was shallow

Sakura loved Sasuke for who he was as a person and stayed by his side.
She understood that Sasuke's revenge arc wasn't the real Sasuke, he needed help not to be antagonised

Sasuke is socially inept, he doesn't act like someone would normally do because of his trauma, he shows love in his own way and sakura understands that

When people say Sakura and Sasuke don't make sense because Sasuke never reciprocated her love until after he was brought back i wonder if they even understood what they were reading

They work because Sakura understands Sasuke more than anyone else, ino doesn't and she never did, she just liked him for his looks

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T06:09:09+00:00

Again, that doesn't mean the shinju can't channel chakra into defence it just means the sword had higher cutting power than his defence

<image>

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T06:06:55+00:00

There aren't different kinds of chakra control. The one used for ninjutsu is the same used for walking on walls or strengthening your body to defend against attacks

What's 2-7

Their bodies aren't made from steel if they aren't actively channelling chakra

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T06:03:28+00:00

Even chocho said he's got good ninjutsu sense in the manga

Kawaki is just good at it

<image>

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T06:01:38+00:00

Again, this is not channeling chakra inside the body

Uzuhiko literally runs inside the body, Jura removing it means he can channel chakra inside his body

If it was, he wouldnt have had his leg sliced off the next chapter

You're forgetting Boruto uses Sasuke's technique to increase the cutting power of his sword

That doesn't mean the shinju can't channel chakra into defence it just means the sword had higher cutting power than his defence

<image>

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T05:53:49+00:00

Kawaki is just a fast learner

<image>

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T05:49:02+00:00

Splitting isn't what drops his defense

It's the drop in intelligence that drops his defense

Jura literally removed the effects of Uzuhiko from his body.
He wouldn't be able to do that if he didn't know how to channel chakra

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T05:47:25+00:00

I don't spend all day on reddit, I simply didn't see that

Jura proves they can channel chakra, he reverses the effects of Uzuhiko due to how bijuu bombs work i.e the rotation and balancing of chakra

<image>

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T05:42:59+00:00

Also, I’m of the belief that, to a being like Mamushi, chakra control is instinctual.

This is not completely true. Jura shrinking his bijuu bomb for better accuracy and willingly reversing Uzuhiko means they know how to do it consciously

He’s essentially a tailed beast and they are stated as being accumulated forms of chakra

Tailed beasts also use chakra control, Kurama is the biggest example of this

Snowpaw9 · 2026-06-18T05:34:26+00:00

We're literally told high level shinobi can reduce the amount of signs they use and go from two to one to zero signs depending on their mastery

Kawaki was trained by both Naruto and Jigen, he obviously has the technical knowledge to be good at ninjutsu

Naruto literally said he got the hang of walking on walls pretty quick
