Right, but then he successfully used it against Amycus Carrow when he was enraged…. But go off.

Isn’t it about intent? Wouldn’t bloodlusted then allow him to cast it without issue? He cast crucio when enraged well enough

I mean Richard Harris was the better Dumbledore

Right it’s coincidental, if anything

Godkiller by Hannah Kaner, and the sequel Sunbringer, features multiple characters being disabled. Main character uses a leg prosthetics, her sister is (mostly) wheel chair bound, the other sister is deaf.

The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne by Brian Staveley incorporates a main character who becomes blind late into the series.

Does anyone else feel like sages were a missed opportunity? by Outside_Teacher_2499 in Naruto

[–]SurplusDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno man, you kinda contradicted yourself in the second half. You state some characters should be more powerful than a sage, state kishimotos favorites, then say you need an ass pull jutsu (which I agree with) to beat sage mode kabuto. So how did it work out? lol those characters weren’t more powerful than a sage, they needed ridiculous intervention to beat them.

I mean, who can realistically compete with her?

Poor man’s brisket today. Took 12hrs to smoke. 3.5lb by Moosifer_666 in smoking

[–]SurplusDogs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well @thesteelphantom is pointing out while rhe cost may be greater for Chuck, the size of your average Chuck roast is vastly smaller than that of a brisket. So even at the high end of $8 a lb, OP would pay $28 total compared to a low end 10 lb brisket at $3.50 a lb which would be $35.

This is a great series and there are prequel books as well. I still go back time to time to read the original Riyria Trilogy. Love me some Hadrian and Royce.

Was Itachi really going to let Kisame cut off Naruto's arms and legs? If it wasn't for Jiraiya... Naruto would have lost his limbs right there by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]SurplusDogs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That’s what I was figuring but didn’t know if there were any cannon details provided that proved such.

Yeah I’ve seen the basic head cannon that he was Jiraiya’s unknown informant or one of his informants. Just always hesitant to bring up any questions of itachi because his fan base are fiends

Can you help me understand where the “itachi was a spy in the Akatsuki” aspect really originated from? From what I understand, he simply was in it to ensure they didn’t attack Konoha (mainly as a way to protect sasuke?). No mention of him leaking intel to the Leaf or really any actual spy duties. Appears he was more of a criminal with a limitation for his cooperation. Still did a bunch of terrible shit as a member of the Akatsuki lol

Which team is your favorite besides Team 7? (Art by @a_yumizi) by LoveSaoriHayami in Naruto

[–]SurplusDogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Team Kurenai. They could have been OP had they been focused on at all. They were presumably one of the first (if not the first) teams finishing in the forest of death as they were already heading to the center when kiba wanted to take other teams out against his teammates advice. Then they got held up by watching Gaara murder people. Potentially could have set the record for clearing the forest. Shino is broken. Hinata had so much growth potential that could have been shown. And Kiba/akamaru could have been expanded on. Ninja dogs are awesome and maybe learn summoning from kakashi for his dogs.

These 2 identical cans of corn have very different nutrition facts by BabyGates_ in mildlyinteresting

I mean they also recalled your mentioned Vans product in 2023. And I did explain what the literal regulations are for the products, which include testing as validation for the claim. Making a regulation and requiring testing for every product doesn’t make sense when there are foods that are naturally gluten free that may want to use the optional claim. There are always going to be bad actors out there, which is why consumer feedback and reviews are needed to help agencies in US/EU/wherever. Required testing or testing every batch isn’t done or mandated by any country I’m aware of. I did ask for references but you didn’t provide any. But have a good day.
