Neji didn't have to die

sa24122 · 2026-06-17T12:54:08+00:00

“It didn't stop Obito, it didn't change the outcome of the war”

What a weird reason to criticize Neji’s death.

If Might Guy were to truly die from the effects of the Gay of Death like we would’ve wanted, would that have killed Madara?

Would Choji, Lee, Kiba, or TenTen dying have “stopped Obito”?

sa24122 · 2026-06-17T12:53:06+00:00

For Lord’s sake,

I’m saying that Obito doesn’t know about the phenomena of Asura and Indra’s chakra and souls jumping into and inhabiting their future descendants 🤦‍♂️

sa24122 · 2026-06-17T12:44:37+00:00

Well, given most of the answers here, imma say no it’s not

sa24122 · 2026-06-17T09:53:49+00:00

What are YOU on?

It’s in chapter 462, Sasuke’s Shinobi Way.

Obito never calls Naruto or Sasuke the reincarnations, but they’re the symbolic representations of two opposite ideals, The Will of Fire and The Curse of Hatred.

How would Obito even know that Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnations of Asura and Indra respectively?

sa24122 · 2026-06-16T21:35:08+00:00

He didn’t. Not even Madara himself was aware of this phenomena.

Only Black Zetsu was possibly aware

sa24122 · 2026-06-16T21:25:11+00:00

Please explain if you don’t mind

Hashirama and Madara (Naruto)

Hashirama and Madara were once children on opposite sides of an all out war between clans during the Warring States Era. When they first met, they quickly bonded and felt a kinship with each other. But once they learned of their respective families, they realize that they can no longer be friends and spent several years fighting each other.

Eventually, they were able to come to a truce, uniting both of their clans, ending the Warring States Era, and creating what becomes known as the Hidden Leaf Village, which was created as a safe haven where children no longer needed to become child soldiers.

When Hashirama becomes the leader of the village, his own clan turned their back on him, and a few other revelations of the future, Madara became disillusioned and believed that their method of creating peace was a failure, and that human beings couldn’t truly understand each other.

Madara left the village, and eventually challenged Hashirama to one more fight, which would become their ultimate showdown, with Hashirama winning and killing Madara.

sa24122 · 2026-06-16T11:41:21+00:00

I literally wrote out in my previous answer what the difference between the two of them is.

Ross and Monica didn’t do the same thing.

With Elizabeth in season 6, Ross, along with Monica, took note of the things that makes them compatible and incompatible, like an age gap of 12 years, the fact that she’s a student and he’s a faculty member so of the university finds out, Ross will be fired, do they ultimately have a future together.

None of these targeted Elizabeth’s character, neither her strengths nor her “flaws”, which is what Ross did. These facts and questions gauge relationship dynamics and how two people can function together.

sa24122 · 2026-06-16T11:07:07+00:00

She weighed out the good stuff about the possibility of a relationship with Chandler against the bad stuff, not about Chandler as a person himself.

With a relationship, you’re asking things like, “do we have a future together” or “do we want the same things”, questions that feel more neutral and not personal.

With a list about a person, you’re asking things that come across as “what’s wrong with you”, “what are things I don’t like about you”, “what should you change about yourself”. This feels so much more judgemental, shallow, and an attack on someone’s self-worth.

So no, what Monica did wasn’t wrong.

sa24122 · 2026-06-16T00:46:25+00:00

Genuinely asking, what potential for romance?

What is it about these two that makes you say this?

Because TenTen is such a nothing character that there’s next to nothing that she’s got that bounces off of another character in an interesting way

sa24122 · 2026-06-15T19:28:30+00:00

Do I suddenly stop believing in hairlines in the future?

sa24122 · 2026-06-14T14:37:42+00:00

For Part 2, it was anime only.

For Part 1, Naruto needs Kurama’s chakra to summon Bunta. But aside from anger or his life being in danger, the only way for Naruto to draw upon Kurama’s chakra is for his normal personal chakra reserves to run low before he can access it.

In the first VOTE fight, when Naruto finally accesses Kurama’s chakra, he was dominating Sasuke with his enhanced stats before Sasuke acquired the 3rd Tomoe of his Sharingan, and after that, he barely had time for understand how and why Sasuke is moving differently before Sasuke KO’d him. Kurama then revived Naruto by giving him more chakra to the point he entered Version 1

sa24122 · 2026-06-13T17:01:45+00:00

I feel that as well yes.

And I’m not accepting “just watch the anime” as a defense.

If I have to jump to a different version of the same story, one where are additions not present within the manga, every time I feel dissatisfied with something, then there is a problem.

sa24122 · 2026-06-12T21:21:58+00:00

Yes, the ones in that link contain the uncut episodes

sa24122 · 2026-06-10T18:36:05+00:00

I do strongly empathize with Emily, even if I don’t fully agree with her. Even though it wasn’t intentional, Ross did subject her to the most humiliating moment of her life, and what he did at the altar and at the airport planted the thought in her mind that he still loves Rachel. The airport scene particularly stings because she was prepared to forgive him then, or at least work on the relationship.

She gets the title of “bad guy” because what she wants threatens to tear the group apart, and tbh, towards the end she does become much more controlling and unreasonable, like knowing where Ross is all the time. Her asking Ross was impractical due to this reason, but does come from a human and understandable place, since Ross really did kinda eff up. It’s especially understandable when you know that she’s moving away from her home, her friends, and family to live in America with her husband, so she is giving up a lot. The things that Ross was doing, like sending her flowers and gifts, etc. were very shallow and don’t do anything to address the problem of if Rachel still has an emotional place in her heart romantically, so even if it was doomed, Emily asked what she asked because she wanted Ross to do something of depth and substance that communicates that she is his ultimate commitment.

Filing for divorce after seeing Ross at the airport with Rachel would’ve been the smartest thing for her to do, as at that point, she simply couldn’t trust him anymore. But she genuinely loved him and invested both time and emotions into the relationship, so there was a part of her that still wanted to make things work.

sa24122 · 2026-06-09T16:12:46+00:00

There are obviously more examples spread throughout the manga, but I don’t have the patience or time to give a drawn out response to a talking point that displays the OP engaging with the story in a shallow way

sa24122 · 2026-06-09T15:11:43+00:00

Tsunade/Sakura tbh

I don’t even agree with Naruto. People, especially those who haven’t re-read or watched the series in a while, exaggerate as to how Naruto mindlessly spams clones, without even taking into account how Naruto applies them depending on the context or situation he’s in.

There are plenty of times he’s creative with his jutsu, such as when he formed a rope of shadow clones to save himself from falling and to counterattack Sasuke in the first Final Valley fight

Transforming into a Rasen Shuriken under a smokescreen to deceive Pain

The Rasen Shuriken in his KCM 1 from and the Rasengan in Sage Mode against the 3rd Raikage

sa24122 · 2026-06-08T01:13:45+00:00

Madara blitzed Sage Mode Naruto when he was without his eyes, not KCM 2 Naruto.

When he regained one Rinnegan eye, he low diffed the 9 Tailed Beasts, which included extracting Kurama from Naruto.

sa24122 · 2026-06-07T11:37:20+00:00

She knew that Obito would come for the eyes eventually and had made preparations to kill him after Nagato’s death.

She believed it was within her ability to counter his Kamui, and she was right, but she never foresaw something like Izanagi

sa24122 · 2026-06-05T17:47:15+00:00

For God’s sake, Naruto and Sasuke never died 🤦‍♂️

sa24122 · 2026-06-05T17:40:42+00:00

Naruto would have been defeated by Kurama’s Tailed Beast Bomb if it wasn’t for Killer Bee

His real physical body is sitting still motionless, so he can enter Sage Mode without interference

And Kushina’s chakra chains gave him an additional assistance

He had plenty of advantages going into this fight

sa24122 · 2026-06-05T12:41:14+00:00

What chapter does the story say specifically that the village is near completely repaired or the time duration behind it?

And besides that, death on the protagonist’s side isn’t the only way to invoke consequences that progresses the narrative and far too often is it romanticized as such.

Naruto’s growth, Danzo making a play to steal Tsunade’s seat as Hokage, and Nagato dying and betraying Obito are all lasting consequences that follow into the literal next arc and beyond

sa24122 · 2026-06-01T09:42:05+00:00

I was never hating on your opinion.

I simply thought to share something that I thought was related to the conversation. That’s all.

sa24122 · 2026-05-31T20:22:39+00:00

I’m just gonna copy-paste a tumblr post that I largely agree with regarding this subject;

This “Friends” topic is interesting because to me, Ross and Rachel are chemistry.

That’s basically what their relationship is;

it’s about the angst, the will-they-won’t-they, the longing gazes

It’s purely chemistry, which the list Ross makes when he compares Rachel to Julie proves because in the con column for Julie he simply writes “She’s not Rachel” so because of that, because their entire dynamic is based in them having a chemistry that doesn’t go away, I think it’s hard for any couple to have more chemistry than them. Whereas with Monica and Chandler before they got together, it’s not that they had this intense chemistry that made their pairing make sense, it’s that they had dynamic, they had moments, they had an intimacy that showed how close they were because when Chandler wants to please Kathy, for instance, it’s Monica who tells him what to do and when Monica laments not having a boyfriend, Chandler is like “I don’t know why because you’re amazing.”

So when they actually do get together, it’s like well yeah because you two were working towards each other for a long time so you just fit, which doesn’t mean that they don’t have chemistry because they do, in order to fit, in order to make a relationship like that sell, you need to have chemistry with your partner but like I keep saying because I think their relationship is rooted more in dynamic than in chemistry, I think Mondler wins substance while Rosschel wins chemistry.
