The most recent episode is about what I've seen of Naruto (the actual anime), and it's what really made me seal my hatred for Naruto (the character). Gaara is dead, everyone knows this, multiple people have said it, but Naruto continues to yell at his dead body to get up like that'll do the trick. Then after the old lady offs herself and isn't moving and Sakura says that it wasn't a medical jutsu, he still can't connect the dots and has to have people spell it out explicitly for him that the old lady is dead. Naruto is a guy who wants to be president of ninja, yet his ability to understand death is on par with a first grader.

JackNapier posted:On the note of Gaara being dead, that's an entirely different thing, Gaara is very similar to Naruto, so they share a sort of bond, being Demon containers they showed off in the show that they had somewhat similar childhoods, except everybody just jeered and mocked Naruto, and they flat out tried to murder Gaara, so the connection there is pretty deep on some levels, having just gone through a death in the family last November, there's a period of time spent doing much Naruto does with Gaara in that scene, wanting to yell and scream and hope your loud enough to wake the person up, followed shortly by the realization afterwards, they aren't getting back up. Yeah, I guess I actually get that. Maybe it's just the yelling combined with that damned voice that pissed me off so much. Or maybe it's because I've only ever watched the anime, and it's so drawn out (especially when you're watching it on Adult Swim week by week) so I had to watch drat near 2 months of Naruto screaming at a corpse before Gaara came back. That said, the scene where Gaara gets up and suddenly the whole Sand village has just shown up out of nowhere is so silly I almost kind of love it. It's like "Oh, Lord Gaara, we're here to save yo- oh poo poo I guess he's okay then."

Oh my god that Sasuke "first day of school" intro was hilarious. (Every time I hear any piece of Sasuke backstory, all I can think of is my favorite Naruto fanart ever:)

Naruto is like a psycho ex-girlfriend. "Sasuke I know you left me and said you never wanted to see me again but baby I know we just have this bond, I can feel it you know? NOW COME BACK TO ME OR I'LL START THROWING

FractalSandwich posted:Does this game not do the old "unwinnable boss fight" thing, then? It seems like this would have been just the time for one of those. No, it looks like it more goes for the classic "You win but not really" approach, where you win the fight but then in a cutscene you either get owned or a character you just beat up proceeds to stand up and tell you that they weren't even trying and you're pathetic.

Kakuzu, there's no point in making yourself Franken-Voldemort if you just put your Horcruxes right on your back and then tell people about it. Then it's a pretty simple game of "kill the bastard 5 times to win" (I get that he's still apparently a really strong as hell ninja but still that seems like a stupid weakness to tell someone about. Ah well, anime.)

Regalingualius posted:On the other hand, what the hell kind of ninja of any worth would tell their enemies both their gimmick and their biggest weakness? And with complete sincerity, to boot? The one who is an anime character. "Gimmicks" in Naruto are like power levels in DBZ in that people talk about them all the time regardless of if you give away a weakness or not.

Wait how did "word get around" that Orochimaru's dead? I mean, there's only one witness, so unless Kabuto was loving hauling rear end to the other secret bases while Sasuke and Suigetsu were fighting, who would know? Also, wow Sasuke way to loving cheat. "My eyes can see through your jutsu" when you don't even have your crazy eye powers activated.

The Steak Justice posted:Was really hoping Orochimaru would be a boss fight and have his crazy snake form, considering he was the main villain before the timeskip. Seriously. I guess they didn't want to do another Orochimaru boss after doing him vs. Fox Naruto, but it does feel like a rather unceremonious death for a major antagonist.

Stone Cold Steve Itachi might be the best joke in the LP so far, but then, I'm a sucker for any reference to that whole IT WAS ME gag. But the keikaku subtitle gag was a pretty close 2nd.

The entire 20 minute cutscene was worth it for the outbursts of laughter at the dual fireball scene and Tobi/Madara's return. So much hilarious out of nowhere poo poo in that fight. Orochi-horcrux has to be the best. Also I'm sure it's just something the game glossed over that's actually explained in the anime but I love how Sasuke just suddenly has a giant lightning spirit to attack Cake Castle with no explanation. Also why the hell were Sasuke's eyes ninja stars? I know this game doesn't explain itself a lot but seeing as how that is not a pattern that was in either his or Itachi's eyes, that seems like something that should be addressed.

Waffleman_ posted:It didn't really work because a lot of people seem to loving know where it is. Well the morons put up their own drat Mt. Rushmore, it's their own fault really. Neruz posted:Actually the vast majority of the inhabitants of the Land of Fire have no clue where Konoha is. The Naruto story pretty much concerns ninjas exclusively and by this point it concerns only high level ninjas with incredible amounts of power. You basically end up with the story only ever showing us the top 5 - 10% most skilled\powerful people in the world and never mentioning the other 90% who spend their lives farming rice and generally being unobtrusive. I suppose. My personal belief is that pretty much everyone in Naruto-land knows where the village is but 99% of the population just stays the gently caress away because of all the bullshit that goes on around there. It's like Gotham City in Batman: sure you could go visit, but why take the risk?

Neruz posted:Hearing some people being fuckin' wrong about Rasengan in this video I dunno, they said it was a ball of energy and it was the series' Kamehameha, which both seem fairly accurate. I mean, Naruto does spam Rasengans just like the characters in DBZ spam their energy attacks. I guess the only difference is that you said not everyone in Naruto can use the energy ball whereas everybody and their grandma can use the Kamehameha beam in DBZ. I mean, loving Yamcha can do it. Yamcha.

The joke about the Sharingan tear tattoo was probably the highlight of the video. Also, goddamn I get that "pervy sage" was an affectionate nickname or whatever, but maybe show a little respect and stop mentioning constantly how much your dead mentor was a pervert, Naruto. "I miss my mentor so much. He was a kind and loving man. Also a weird porn author."

Neruz posted:TL:DR The Japanese don't treat names the same way most English speaking nations do so when you're translating from Japanese to English you either have to take a lot of liberties with the translations or you end up with wierdness whenever names are involved. I get that, and I knew about the name thing, but I mean... I don't know, just drop the "pervy" and call him "sage" post-mortem or something. Or maybe Master Jiraiya like everyone else seems to do. Or maybe that's one of those things they should've just changed in the dub job because as it turns out, sometimes poo poo like honorifics and such just sound weird when you try to translate them. Alternately, just have Naruto call him Jiraiya because Naruto's supposed to be kind of a little rear end in a top hat anyway, so why shouldn't he break all social norms? Alternately alternately, Naruto should follow Sasuke's example and just passive aggressively moan over his sorrows rather than express any emotions.

I don't have a mic so I can't participate (and I have all the forums upgrades so I really don't need to win anyway) but I wish I could submit my best hammy impression of Orochimaru talking about how he needs to have Sasuke's Sharin-ganja.

Well that's good at least. That whole "your opponent is me (HACKS UP BLOOD) I won't let you hurt anyone *staggers concussed*" seemed pretty dumb.

So did Naruto realize the village was destroyed before he got back? Because frankly if Pain hadn't gotten there before him, Naruto probably would have wrecked a good portion of the city himself just warping out of nowhere with his giant toad posse.

Neruz posted:There's way more than just part 1; prior to Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 there is Ultimate Ninja Heroes 1 through 3 + Impact, and then prior to those there is Ultimate Ninja 1 through 5. Also technically the next game in the series is actually Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations rather than UNS 3, after 3 comes Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst, then Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution and finally Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 which has yet to be released. So are these separate series of games or does the crew in charge of Naruto games adhere to the Kingdom Hearts philosophy of "gently caress it throw some more adjectives on there, just don't release an actual sequel"?

It's really weird that they wouldn't put in the thing about Killer B getting away in the story. I think from what I remember from the abandoned UNS3 LP, Killer B's next appearance is totally out of the blue and he's totally fine. Guess the story didn't want to ruin that "Wow isn't Sasuke cool" ending.
