Agreed, Tenten should have been really cool, especially considering the team she's on. Unfortunately, she's a non-healing women in Naruto, so she's worthless.

Also: I agree with everyone else saying they were really looking forward to this. The last Naruto LP gave me some of the hardest laughs I've ever had in my life, and the first episode of this lp is a great start.

Yeah, this group has a great dynamic and is also the only place I know that does jokes like '[X]thing but not really' and then goes off on its own tangents from there besides TheStrawHatNo.

Well, if we're just gonna seriously ask anime questions ITT I guess I've got a few.

Suigetsu is using Zabuza's sword right? Why/how did the handle get broken?

About that, the Toad Boss has a sword. The Toad Boss is also as large as the full size Kyuubi, who can cause earth-quakes by walking and tsunamis by swinging a tail through water. The Toad Boss' sword is to scale, which means it's bigger than most buildings in setting. Tsunade can and will use this sword.

As far as I can tell the less people care about the Uchiha bullshit the better they are as characters, which means all the Uchiha except Itachi who actually doesn't care are the worst and the people who actively ignore it are great. This is why Killer Bee is the best character because he actively ignores everything that isn't his brother, his rapping or his Tailed Beast.

Which, is pretty amazing, considering Sasuke tried to assassinate his brother and all.

Because friendship conquers all. It was one of the big thematic points in anime and manga from the turn of the 2000s when Naruto, and others like Bleach and One Piece started up.

Who was a friend and went evil in Bleach and One Piece though?

Skaw posted:

Also what Kakashi was going on about at the end there and the flashback was how(spoilers just incase) the Third Hokage(Hiruzen) never went after his student, Orochimaru. Even after he basically became Ninja Mengele and got caught by Hiruzen performing experiments on children and other ninja, dead and living. One being Yamato. Specifically he now has a feeling as to what Hiruzen went through mentally as Kakashi himself is facing down his own student, Sasuke.

I don't remember any of this at all so I guess I wasn't paying any attention to the anime.

I know, right? It seems so obvious that this story arc ends with Sasuke dying. All the signs seem to be pointing to it. The story seems to be going out of its way to show that no, he's not a tragic villain. He's just a villain. He's going to die, and you're not supposed to feel bad about it.

I don't know what's going to happen instead, but I do know it'll be disappointing.

Sasuke becomes the newest Sannin and Hokage.

Also he marries every girl from ninja school. Including Naruto.

Hell Tsunades in a fuckin coma just to make way for Danzo. Couldn't just ya know make them both go to the summit together. Make it look like they want Tsunade as the head honcho and reveal he's been manipulating her and Mifune the whole time.

I think Tsunade's in a coma because of the time Pain nearly killed everyone though right? So that at least makes some sense.

I think Tsunade didn't actually die to Pein, unlike almost everyone else, so whilst Pein brings back everyone else in near perfect health she keeps her injuries. Might be wrong though.

Yeah, all I'm asking is if she ended up in a coma because of back when she was fighting in that assault on the leaf village.

Well the kid grew up having no friends. So of course he's going to be ultra possessive when he actually makes one. Or thinks he makes one.

Considering how this pretty much happens with everyone he fought- Gaara, Kiba, Neji, Nagato- my point still stands that being his friend is like being connected to the dark one. There is no 'Backing out' on our agreement. We're friends for life now Sasuke. Even if you die and get brought back to life.

U.T. Raptor posted:

Yeah, he grew up with the entire village making GBS threads on him (the series really doesn't convey this very well, so it ends up more an informed quality than anything), so making a friend... of sorts, was a huge deal for him.

Yeah, and that's another thing that doesn't really make any sense. Is that just because of the Nine Tails? You'd think being a Hokage's son would kinda make people put up with you more.

Well gosh, thanks! Always glad to hear we're doing something right.
Unfortunately though, we'll likely have to take this week off from updating, since Easter got in the way of recording with the next guest.
But today, let's remember that Minato died for our sins.

Don't worry about getting negative when Sasuke shows up. Dude's eating up a dozen buffets worth of screen time that could go to better characters like Might Guy. Or less lovely but not interesting ones like Ino. Or hell, we could be using that time to watch people cook because anytime Sasuke is on screen people should be asking 'What could be happening instead of Sasuke getting more screen time?'

gently caress Sasuke, LP's good.

Thanks! I feel like I'm easily the least funny of the crew so I like to think that my Editing Garbage helps to make up for that.

Well, you kinda have to be the straight man and talk about the game and hit on women so you can't really make as many jokes when you're going over what's happening this level of Ultimate Katamari Ninja Storm Damacy. When you're done explaining things you get to contribute. Honestly, I have no problems with anyone's commentary in these episodes, I think it's all good but everyone gets gold moments at different times.

Also I thought about this and forgot to say it but the 'confronting your inner darkness' bit in the last episode was done way better back when Final Fantasy 4 did it.

ChorpSaway posted:

You know that "Believe it!" thing that Naruto still occasionally does but has mostly stopped since somewhere around the Chunin Exams? That was a translation of a verbal tic, "dattebayo", which Naruto used to sound unique and cool. This was later changed because "ya know" is a more reasonable tic than saying "believe it" all the time and also plays into his mom's tic which she uses when she's excited or angry. But yeah they just kinda dropped the thing entirely until they realized there was gonna be relevance to it at which point they threw it back in, ya know.

'Just you wait, someday I'm gonna be Hokage! YA KNOW!'

Lord_Magmar posted:

I mentioned it earlier but the basic reason why they seal it in Kushina is she's the only Uzumaki young enough for them to safely do so. I can't recall right now but I'm pretty sure the Kyuubi's sheer Chakra mass is damaging to seal into adults whose Chakra networks have been solidified by puberty, and at the time it was thought only an Uzumaki could have the full power Kyuubi sealed inside and it'd have to be before puberty to ensure that the Chakra Network grew with the seal instead of being destroyed by the initial sealing.

Also normally you don't have someone with the loving Sharinhax targeting the mother, as the only reason the Kyuubi actually breaks out is because it's told to do so by Tobi. Otherwise this entire situation was potentially dangerous but ultimately harmless, it's Tobi that turns it into a complete poo poo-show. Childbirth doesn't weaken the seal any-more than any other extremely strenuous activity, in fact considering how weak Naruto manages to make his seal through various actions it's probably less dangerous than actually relying on the Kyuubi in combat the way Naruto does. Sealing the tailed-beasts in general is a bit iffy, Killer Bee is like the 10th guy they tried to seal the 8-tails in and the last 9 died from it. As I recall Killer Bee actually fought the 8-tails before it was sealed and they came to an agreement that way. Gaara has a bad seal and the previous host inside him and is a homicidal nut-case.

Wow, no wonder Gaara sees so much of himself in Sasuke.
