None of this is exclusive to Naruto and is common in shonen
Who depicted child soldier struggle and war like Naruto?
Yall forgot first gen?

Since the beginning with a Haku lending his person to become Zabuza's weapon because this is the closest thing to love he's ever known? Sacrificing himself because he considered himself as a tool?
Zabuza that had to kill at 8 or something because that's how they do in Kiri?

The harshness of a cast system represented through Neji's spell and the death of his father?

Gaara raised to be a weapon capable of inflicting massive damage and destruction to other villages? Forbidden to be loved and hated by everyone but actually mad necessary to the plan?

The despair and absurdity that reeks of Kakashi Gaiden when he has to kill or be killed by grown ass men during the war and had his friend died during it while he didn't even go through puberty?

I've yet to see another shônen delves that deeply into that topic... :jbhmm:And that's one amongst all the topics Naruto first gen nails. But if you know them I'd be glad to know so I could read them :leon:


Naruto first gen was on the rails to be the goat :wow: blew it like a 40-1 lead :wow:

Gundam was already doing all of this decades before Naruto. You should watch more anime.

shytpuuden undid anything good Naruto had going.
Ptetty much. Naruto was on a goat tier trajectory before shippuden imo. Great fights and characters, the biggest weak point of pre Shippuden Naruto is the fact that Sasuke and Naruto's friendship is under developed.

Shippuden was garbage from start to finish .Literally killed all the good aspects of the series. The only good arc were the pain invasion chapters but Kishi managed to ruin that too by reviving everyone.

Still, Naruto and Shippuden fights>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DB/Z/Super. Dragonball has maybe 4 or 5 great fights in it's entirety.

At the same time, Super(everything after the Cell arc really) is dogshyt and I only watch because of nostalgia. Movie should be dope though .

Objectively, I got Naruto and DBZ at the same level.

Nah I can't agree with this. Naruto instantly fell off when the world building was put aside for Naruto and Sasuke becoming the gods.

I get the parallels they wanted to show with the three sannin and team 7 but they took it too far. Kakashi's team with Obito was the same, and Nagato and his crew.

Shippuden peaked during the Pain saga. It didn't have a good showing 80% of the time.

Rock Lee, Neji, Sakura, Shikimaru all got benched in Shippuden for Naruto and Sasuke.
Yeah there are too many parallels in Naruto. It's like everybody is a parallel of another character, with few original character around. It's ridiculous :mjlol:
Even the main characters Naruto and Sasuke are in fact reincarnations of some ancient guys, like hasirama and madara ect.

I loved Naruto but the only problem I had with it was later on when they revealed he was the 4ths son. You mean to tell me nobody blurted that piece of information to him before that? It wasn't even his fault the fox was in him but supposedly the whole village hated him because of it? They hated the 4th hokages first born son?? I'm sure the 4th had property or some shyt, why Naruto basically didn't have shyt? They had this nikka living by himself living off ramen and spoiled milk :dead:

True that :leon:

Well shyt if you have to go back to 1980s Gundam to find a comparizon then I guess Naruto did well since it was only a part of what first gen brought on the table.:yeshrug:

But because Gundam did it doesn't mean it's common to all Shônen

The reason why I used Gundam is because it’s one best at using the child soldier trope and to show that there’s anime that did it long before Naruto. Children soldiers is mainly common is mechas shonen.

wow........
Wow is nikkas in this thread talking about DBZ having plot or character development

Ya'll are on fukking drugs...they even tried to make Gohan the centerpiece...TWICE...and fans weren't having it

The show literally became "When does Goku get here...?"

Tons of non-Naruto characters got shine in his show and were able to flex and you did'nt even miss Naruto during those times

Guy, Kakashi, Rock Lee, Sasuke, Shikamaru...hell even Sakura single thot mom ass got some burn

The only thing close to an emotional moment in DBZ was when Krillin died

Jiraya taking on Pain for dolo and doing his job as a ninja to warn his village even in DEATH is better than most shyt in DBZ.

Itachi having to murder his whole family except his brother...Neji having to deal with that caste system of his clan...Rock Lee not being able to perform jutsus yet still being able to wash everyone except maybe Naruto....Kakashi growth from child to man...Gaara's growth as a character from weapon to Kage of his village...

Hell only Vegeta and his growth as a character is seeing that.

From the moment DBZ started...Yamucha, Tien, Krillin, even Piccolo became pointless side character appetizers to the moment when Goku shows up finally.

Thread is stupid. Naruto is one of my favorites but threads like these just force you to expose how trash DBZ really is underneath it all, and then flip it like "Well Naruto is'nt the GOAT...nyah"

Yeah no shyt but it's still better than DBZ

And Super is an overrated cash grab. I know it, you know it. Stop playing yourselves.

They devalued the fukk out of SSJ just to erase the garbage that was GT from our memories, and cash out on the fame that DBZ carved out.
