In my opinion Naruto is easily one of the biggest missed opportunities in all of Anime and it started in the Sasuke Retrieval arc.

Imagine if it had gone down like this: Arc goes as it did until the point where the Sand ninja show up. Instead of wasting character development on them imagine if instead the rest of the Konoha twelve showed up. Seven of them (Kiba, Chouji, Naruto, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, & Lee) are already involved, why leave out the rest? Have Hinata show up to protect Neji, demonstrating her worth (as well as furthering their arcs that... honestly didn't get any canonical service until several hundred chapters after Chunin exam arc), Shino shows up to save Kiba... because seriously, why the **** does Shino always get left out?, Ino saves Shikamaru, taking control of one of Tayuya's three monsters or something, Ten Ten shows up instead of Gaara to help Lee and maybe we could get a proper resolution to that fight instead of "Oop... he died of illness." and Sakura shows up to try to either try to talk Sasuke down, point out how ******* obvious it is that Naruto is, as a kid, already as powerful as whatever Orochimaru could give Sasuke, or maybe just resolve that Sasuke get what power he can from Orochimaru without letting him take his body and together the three of them can beat Itachi.

I mean... the downward spiral of quality really starts there, when characters that have no place in the conflict start being more important than the ones that have reason to really be there. Damn it, Kishimoto! Why do you have to be such a **** writer but such a great creative mind?!

#12 to #4 - northleech (03/22/2015) [-]

I'm not a very big fan of Naruto as a series, but I absolutely love the setting and universe that Kishi created, the potential is so immense.

#13 to #12 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

I find the series up until the time-skip to be amongst the best shounen series that have ever been made. The abilities are creative, the fights are tense, the character designs are evocative, the tactics are at times really ingenious (with the fight between Neji and spider-guy-whose-name-I-can't-remember being one of the smartest in shounen, and the characters themselves are really compelling.

When Chouji wins against the Sound 4 guy it is an amazingly awesome moment that puts Chouji as a character into a new light. He could and should have been the dark horse of the series, the one that nobody expects greatness out of but that somehow manages to just become really awesome. I know that was the idea for Naruto but when you're from the Uzumaki Bloodline, the son of the Hokage, and house an inhuman monster of rage and destruction in your stomach you really can't claim to be the underdog.

Hinata is easily one of my favourite female characters in any medium and Rock Lee's earnestness is only matched by how ******* awesome it is to watch him wreck people in spectacular fashion (and yet he has never actually won a fight in the entire series... canonically at least. Thank **** for the filler which is easily the best part of Naruto after the Sasuke Retrieval arc.)

I really hope Naruto gets a reboot or something down the line like DBZ got with Kai with someone other than Kishimoto writing it because that **** wouldn't just bring in a TON of mullah, it would also be a great chance to iron out all of the flaws of converting a manga that hasn't finished yet along with fixing the massive flaws with Kishimoto's writing.

#14 to #13 - northleech (03/22/2015) [-]

Let's see what they have in store for the series, we can do nothing but hope for greatness! I for one am looking forward to the mini-series revolving around the next generation.

Also, I have to say I agree with what you said about Hinata, but I put it in simpler terms:
Hinata is best girl.

#15 to #14 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

Oi! Stop un-innocenting Hinata!

#16 to #15 - northleech (03/22/2015) [-]

She still has that trademark blush and innocent look on her face!

#17 to #16 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

Wow, there's some really weird fan-art for Hintata... I mean... I don't even remember anything like that happening in the manga or the filler before I gave up on the anime so this is probably someone drawing about some kind of fan-fiction... but they put a lot of work into it... damn it, imagine if a shounen that was well-written had this kind of Fandom, something like Kingdom for example! (Though tbf whilst Kingdom is absolutely astonishingly well-written it does suffer from blinkers. There's a lot to get out so it doesn't spend much time on world-building, which really is why managa like One Piece, Naruto, Fairy Tail, My Hero Academy, and Bleach get the fame they get, for better or for worse.)

Naruto ● Episode 271 || Road to Sakura ✔

If you are talking about the first picture I added it's from the "Road to Sakura" episode.
Picture is from 6:24 ish

#19 to #18 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

Hrm? No, I'm talking about that one I just linked. I searched for fan-art and came up with that.

Btw, in case you have never read Kingdom... read Kingdom.

#24 to #4 - sergeantskittles (03/22/2015) [-]

it was cool until people started becoming god powered. now sasuke's a gundam, naruto is a super saiyan, and the rest turned into Ichigo from bleach. and the anime fillers, jesus christ, talk about a slow and painful death for something that couldve been wicked awesome.

#25 to #24 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

I disagree about the fillers. The Curry of Life arc had Drunk Lee in it, which was awesome, and the bug arc showed Hinata actually being useful, as did the Country of Vegetables arc. The fillers often did better jobs of providing growth and service to the characters than Kishimoto's canon did.

I can't speak much for the Shippuden filler though because holy **** that series rapes me. "Let's open up em medias res but what we're opening up to is totally ******* boring. And then the first big fight with the main characters has sakura finally doing something, and by doing something I mean giving over her free will to let some old lady use her as a puppet because she on her own doesn't have the skills necessary to be in any way useful."

Naruto has such outstanding potential in its world but it's all scuppered by how ***** Kishimoto is at telling stories. Like, the Sharingan for example. How cool an idea was the Sharingan at the beginning of the series? It is an eye that when fully utilised provides you with computer-like levels of observation skills. It is a good opposite to the Byakugan as the Byakugan sees in all directions but is only looking for one thing whilst the Sharingan sees in one direction but sees everything. Couple that with the genjutsu abilities and it was a great ability that didn't actually have enough power to be the core of a fighting style, rather it was supplementary to it, like Kakashi's Raikiri/Chidori.

However, then things started getting weird. First you started being able to see fire onto someone that never stops burning... uh... okay, that seems a little bro- now you can summon a gigantic metal energy-skeleton! Uhm... Kishimoto, this is starting to ge- now you can, for five minutes, alter the course of reality! Uuuuuuuuhhhh... that's really broken, you'd better retcon that or somethi- I know! I'll make it that if someone uses that someone else can trap them in an endless loop that only closes once they're not evil anymore! About the 'every villain gets redemption thi- Also Sharingan is half the power you need to basically get the power of a god... and the other half is just cells you can implant into your own bod-

*editor quits in frustration*

Seriously... the **** , bro?!

#26 to #25 - sergeantskittles (03/22/2015) [-]

i was talking about *********** lol. the pre timeskip was cool with a one piece like humor but now *********** is the 5edgy3me emu older brother. everything is a redemption/loss of innocence/growing up is hard endless loop. i dont mind fillers but at least make them tie in or something sensible. not this random garbage ******** theyre trying to pass off as roses

#27 to #26 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

As this .gif so colourfully illustrates, One Piece ***** all over Naruto, ESPECIALLY shippuden. Whilst pre-skip Naruto had the makings of something truly great whilst pre-Grand Line One Piece was really kinda lacking compared to Naruto's high quality right out of the gate, time really was the telling factor and whilst One Piece has only gotten better with time (though the Fishman arc was a big dip in quality compared to the Pirate War arcs before it and the current Dressrossa arc) Naruto rose and rose and ro-nope... there it goes... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way down to Bleach's level.

However, I do love how all of the different big shounen series have their own unique problems. With One Piece it's that the characters really don't ever develop because they're already perfect and all that needs to change with them is they get stronger. With Naruto it's Kishimoto's sudden swerve on what kind of a story he wants to tell and his shocking inability to plan ahead. With Fairy Tail it's Hiro Mashima's complete inability to write proper stories and his barely repressed desires to just draw Doujinshi all day long. With Bleach it's Kubo's astonishing lack of any actual writing skill at all.

Still, My Hero Academy is really putting forth a strong showing. It's not even a year old and it's already really damned good. As strong an opening as Naruto coupled with the same interesting and compelling side-characters but with the humour, bombast, and creativity of One Piece. Looking forwards to really good things from that series.

#39 to #27 - sergeantskittles (03/22/2015) [-]

i have to disagree on one piece theyre not perfect but they are growing stronger and showing ideals that true heros should have. theyre trying to overcome every obstacle to achieve their dreams while growing as a person. i would honestly like some more Nico robin development and some Zoro collecting swords awesomeness. and maybe some more Nami development. she hasnt really improved as a character since Arlong.

#47 to #39 - questionableferret (03/23/2015) [-]

Ah, you misunderstand. They already are perfect. They are pieces of a whole, built to play off of one-another. Were they to develop their personalities in a significant fashion they would not be as funny as they are. The characters don't change outside of their introduction arcs.

Zoro hasn't changed. He's had a lot happen to him but nothing in that mess has really changed him. He lost to Hawk Eye and he resolved to never lose again but... did Zoro ever strike you as the kind of person who was okay with losing before that? It's all lip-service, really. Even Luffy, who goes through some serious **** around the war arcs, is exactly the same loud, boisterous, blunt character as he ever was.

You could argue that Usopp had some development, becoming less cowardly, but you'd be wrong. His place in the Dressrossa arc to look like he's running away just to return is the same deal he pulled in the Arlong arc. The only thing that has really changed about him is he's stopped making quips about being the captain.

Robin's development was nice but you could argue the Impel Down arc was technically her introductory arc, given how little we knew of her before that point, and after that she's been pretty much locked into the same personality.

In other series this would be a bad thing, but One Piece isn't about complex characters changing and developing, it's about the sheer notion of adventure. Why does nobody mind that Indiana Jones doesn't develop? Because that's not important to the key appeal of his character.

Also, Zoro doesn't collect swords. It may seem like he does but in truth all that has happened is he has gradually gained named swords to replace his lower-quality ones. First he had Kushina's blade plus whatever he could get his hands on, which always broke. Then he got the cursed blade and a named blade that wasn't actually famous, so it didn't really matter. That then got rusted and Zoro ended up getting the samurai's blade in the next arc.

Tashigi is the one who collects named blades. And Nami also doesn't need to develop, because she's already perfect.

These characters don't have flaws they need to overcome. Usopp's cowardice is never presented as a hurdle that causes other people suffering because he always overcomes it (unlike Mr. 2's cowardice which he then repented for by letting Luffy escape Impel Down). Zoro will never gain a sense of direction. Sanji will never overcome his nosebleeds though he may end up fighting a woman at one point... maybe someone -REALLY- ugly like Big Mam... *shrug* I dunno, I still think it's a long shot.

With a series that goes through so much change having the characters remain the only consistent element is fine.

#35 to #27 - krando (03/22/2015) [-]

pre-grand line is good though, arlong arc is a really strong arc.

#36 to #35 - questionableferret (03/22/2015) [-]

It is good, but it is a much more restrained series up until that point. Until you get to the grand line things don't really start getting crazy. It's for the sake of contrasting with the bombast of the grand line, tonally the East Blue arcs are very different to the Grand Line arcs. The Grand Line arc are devoted to building up core villains and then paying off that buildup magnificently, like Zoro's recent fight with Pika. I had really felt their fight wasn't very compelling because nothing was really coming of it until that last chapter where everything just came together magnificently.]

To compare:

The Arlong Arc vs the first Arc going into the Grand Line, the Alabasta arc.

Arlong gets only a short amount of time for his buildup because so much else has to go on and be set up whereas the Alabasta arc has a LOT of time to set up the important factors like the Baroque Works, Vivi, Crocodile's usurping, etc. It is a much more in-depth arc with more complex social issues at work.

The Arlong arc's fights are also a lot less creative and detailed than the Alabasta arc. Usopp's fight is just him running around with a weird guy that spits water. Compare this to his later fights with Perona, Mr. 4, Luffy, His sniping of Spandam, and Sugar and you see a big difference in the complexity of those fights, both mechanically and visually. The fights are also more interesting because we come to know these villains and their roles in the story a lot better than we learn about spit-face guy.

The same is true of all the fishmen from the Arlong arc. It is a good arc, make no mistake, but to put this in context. The fights with Arlong and his men begin at chapter 82 of One Piece. By that time in Naruto Lee is fighting Gaara. By that time in Bleach Ichigo and friends are just starting to crash through the barrier into Seireitei.

The Arlong fights end at Chapter 94. By that time Naruto is learning to summon frogs and Ichigo has finished his fight with Ikkaku.

So, by the time One Piece has set up it's world and it's five main characters and defeated what could arguably be considered their first really big enemy Naruto has fully set up it's world, long-since defeated it's first really big enemy, introduced the next really big enemies, and got 2/3 of the way through arguably the best arc in its run. Bleach is only just getting into the action of its best arc and it has already long-since defeated its first big villain (Grand Fisher).

This really belies the big issue with the East Blue arc. It is really slow and, because of the nature of One Piece's pacing, story, and world it takes a long time to get stuff done. This is to it's benefit in later, bigger arcs where there is a lot to set up and that extended setup period just gives much bigger payoffs whilst allowing for time to set up future arcs like how the Impel Down arc is being set up all the way back in the Alabasta arc and Brooke is set up with Laboon from the moment they enter the Grand Line.

However, before the Grand Line there are just a lot of far smaller arcs. One of them (Captain Kuro) doesn't actually have any forward setup in it. These are much smaller vignettes that are there to set up the characters and the world more than they are to set up the story, meanwhile its contemporaries are already long-since done with all of that and moving on to their A-Material because they're much better paced.

Arlong is a strong arc, but it isn't as strong as One Piece's best, nor is it as strong as the Zabuza/Grand Fisher arcs and both of those are out of the way a lot faster than it is. Ultimately One Piece would have the last laugh as Naruto and Bleach would descend into utter tripe whilst One Piece would only go from strength to strength, but from the openings of each series you would think that Naruto and Bleach were a lot stronger than One Piece.
