The choice mechanic is there for risk/reward. Choose the more difficult and get better ninja funbux.

Just that he was the coolest guy.

I love how a room full of some of the best fighters the ninjas have access to, they don't try to jump the guy who's currently threatening to kill them all, so that he can exposit.

Sasuke gets away with so much poo poo its unbelievable.
All because Ninja Jesus thinks hes best buds with him.

Zabuza's sword looks really boring compared to the weapons of the other swordsmen, which include the following.

A giant needle-like sword that threads people together, a sword that is in fact any weapon you could ever want, a "sword" that is actually an axe and a hammer connected by a chain, a sword that explodes, two swords that channel lightning and a sword that is really a giant living mass of scales that eats chakra.

Zabuza's just rebuilds through iron in blood and has two circular holes for easy decapitations of captured enemies.

Also I thought it was around here that Ai breaks the sword and then later on we learn it heals through drinking blood. Did they skip the break or is it just that we don't reach the blood drinking part?

Zabuz'a sword was also the first one ever introduced, and was introduced quite early, so it really isnt as flashy and weird as the others, it's the same with the chakra eating scales sword.

... it absorbs iron in the blood of it's victims to repair itself?

"According to the American Red Cross, one pint of blood contains about 250 milligrams of iron. Since the average human has about 10 - 12 pints of blood total, and this accounts for half of the iron in the body, that comes out to between 5 and 6 grams of iron per adult human body."

Six grams, or a fifth of an ounce.

:what:

Out of curiosity, just how big is that weapon?

edit: Oh. One of those swords. This is not the same sword, and made mostly out of aluminum, so made out of readily available materials for a medieval Not-Japan, it'd be slightly heavier than Zabuza's Gobbildicockchi. It's pretty heavy.

Edit2: Just did the math, his loving sword, assuming it's made out of Glorious Not-Japan Tamahagane steel, is in the neighborhood of 200 lbs or 90 kg.

I'm not sure what is more absurd here, him being able to lift the loving thing, or the sword using the blood of it's victims to repair itself.


Ninja blood is like 80% iron and they also have untold gallons of blood coursing through their veins

And you call that a buster sword? This is a buster sword

Yeah it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense at this point in Naruto, but it was one of the themes it held on to through out the entire run. Really, "Friend" comes up a hell of a lot during the final showdown between Naruto and Sasuke. Hyperbole, but it's like every 5th word.

Naruto shouldnt be looked upon for any example of friendship.
Sasuke almost ruins the entire world and all he gets is a 'but youre my frieeeendddd' speech from Naruto.
When it was established from the first arc that Sasuke is not a person you make friends with and unconditionally forgive. What I'm saying is Sasuke is an absolute terrible character thrust upon a world that would be better without him.

One Piece though is about the unbreakable bond of friendship rather than it's power.

Christ Sakura is the most pathetic character by design. Kishimoto is not a good writer, if you havent noticed.
The loving Naruto omake (springtime of youth) has more Pathos than the main series. Im not going to ever drop it. Sasuke is a terrible character only propped up by popularity votes.
Else he'd have died a long, long time ago.


Naruto became terrible through it's audience.
Though it's like I said: Kishimoto cannot do female characters.

Yeah naruto is some kinda genetic perfect chakra storm.
First off he's uzumaki so he's pretty much a chakra nuclear generator, before the nine tails implant.
