Aw yeah. Some really good developments this week, especially with some of our unexpected characters, and a look into the bigger picture again.

Loved the look into trying to save people while the technique is still active. It'll be interesting to see how Obito finishes out his run.

The use of clones still annoys me to no end.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

What do you mean?

[The Twilight Mexican]

I don't know. It just seems cheap somehow.

I mean, yeah, the user uas to equally distribute their chakra, which I like, but the clone still acts and thinks as an independent entity. Kind of cheapens the uniqueness of the character.

Oh, this is nothing. At least we still know who the original is and the clones have to be consciously maintained.

It's not like we're in The Elder Scrolls universe with people like Tiber Septim who was associated with at least five other people who may or may not be just himself under different names, different people all together, or copies of himself. Although given that Tiber killed one of those people and that when the ghost of that person ascended to god-hood all of the names associated with Tiber Septim ascended to god-hood as the same god... and it was a Reality Warper that made Tiber Spetim always a god... (who liked using the idea behind "Reload Save Game" on the rest of the world) yeah, The Elder Scrolls universe is weird...

They don't tho. DatClone went through some serious **** that Naruto had no idea about and had to gather his own chakra and everything.

Well, the real Naruto still has to maintain some degree of active focus on the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu in order to keep the clones there. It's been established that he's not aware of their states until they dissipate, but this chapter demonstrates that they're loosely aware of REAL Naruto's state because of the stability of the Jutsu maintaining their existence.


Also, Naruto's whole thing has been about clones since the beginning of the manga, but are you just referring to him maintaining a more active presence in multiple locations with them?

I feel like Naruto handles the idea & mechanics of shadow clones really well, actually.

I think this may be what annoys me.

I think that was more the Kyuubi mode's ability to sense emotion and stuff.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Lots of good tactical callbacks and some interesting overall developments.

Also good idea to read MS this week to get the full jist of everything, especially near the end

[Cloud_S]

.....much disappointment. wow... bad.

Spoiler

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I suppose it is highly poseable at least, but, yeah, it's kind of ... robotic.

Ummmm... That was awesome.
And I'm pretty sure it made some shipping hearts explode.

Edit: VERY important translation clarification: http://readms.com/r/naruto/685/2450/13

So Kaguya wasn't fooled by their trick last chapter… shit.

That… that was exceptionally well done.

[The Twilight Mexican]

Wow. It was.

So, I guess we can safely surmise that the endgame is upon us.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

The Last: Naruto the Movie comes out this year.

Now my question is... 700?

You know what I mean.

[Kuja9001]

I'm annoyed by the fact that it seems as if Kaguya isn't her character, Black Zetsu is her mouth piece 90% of the time.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Now my question is... 700?

You know what I mean.

I get you, yeah.

 

[Alex Strife]

…………?

Kishimoto likes to do important stuff on specific chapters as we have noted here; things like x25 or x50 or x00. And "endgame" is pretty much here already. So I was openly wondering whether he might aim for 700 to be the last manga chapter.

 

[Dark and Divine]

Chapter 687 is out now!

 

[jazzflower92]

Chapter 687 is out now!

Karma Houdini.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

The dude still died. Would it having happened while he was disgraced be better than him making a genuine attempt at atonement for his mistakes?

That's not a Karma Houdini. He earned his redemption.
