I mean the story was going that way sooner or later, also at the start of the serie they clearly said that the 9 tails could obliterate mountains. We've had lots of nice tactical fights, but having a final with monster techniques was inevitable, I mean you have the strongest ninjas in the Naruto universe, making them fight with only taijutsu and shurikens would be sad tbh.
Well, from the anime point - yes, from the viewers point - that was to show us that it was actually him to not confuse us even more cos this moment was a lil hard to understand with all clones and meat puppets
@@justsomeguywithoutamustach6482 well when you want to be smart and you arent , you fail like the guy above you . like the boruto anime deserves words of praise .....
The biggest mistake of marketing anime in the west... is having a streaming service called "Crunchyroll". I mean am i supposed to watch anime or eat it? Imagine if someone renamed Cartoon Network to Burger Toons.. oh no. Bleach for life!
@@sakurakou2009 Yeah, of course, i dont mean that. I wasn't talking about him being a bad person, its just that he lost some of his personality, the things that made him cool at first. I like him in the war too, but I understand the people that didnt like the change
@Brown Shawarma Official Yeah, I preferred the original Naruto’s art style. The sharper shading and detail looked fantastic. Shippuden started out looking pretty similar but I didn’t really like the slightly rounder washed out look by the end. Don’t even get me started on Boruto.
They ran out of sufficient funds in order to make quality animation. Turns out you shouldn't be creating an anime 700+ episodes long if you have a limited budget...🤷♀️
He's very serious about his comrades, and protecting the village is a close second. Kabuto almost got washed. That was just the top tier move plus excellent foresight.
Art style was perfect in the original, shippuden it was good most episodes that weren't fillers. Boruto hopefully will get better after a time skip but some of the big fights are well done, it's just the story is kind of slow thanks to all the filler.
@@abstractrain1246 Boruto's not cannon to me lol It's reaaally bad.. Also yeah Shippuden had great animation and style but was diff to here. But great nonetheless
Kabuto was such a sly fox in the beginning, then they turned him into a snake... what a glowdown, he was actually one of my favorite characters, back when he still had the classic anime ponytail.
@@3freezeen now now, don't jump to conclusion, she can kill Orochimaru, specifically the one before mastering immortality, but not the current Orochimaru or any type of Orochimaru after mastering that jutsu. And I'm not saying it's because of his immortality, but because he went on another level of op-ness.
@@Hari-om6yx Kabuto was beating Tsunade pretty handily. He did well against a Sannin. Later both Tsunade and Jiraiya ganged up on a weakened Oro and defeated him.
Yep, cuz it’s much easier to animate a OHKO jutsu then animate all the intricacies and details behind an amazing taijutsu oriented encounter that actually makes ninjas ninjas.
@acutehatred616 couldn't disagree more, don't get me wrong the power scaling did become pretty ridiculous in shippuden , ( still had alot of awesome fights though ) but it honestly didn't bug me to much, I kinda looked at it like I did with dragon ball to dragon ball z. Like in dragon ball ( for the most part ) the fights were centered around marital arts and then when u got to z, it just became basically people with crazy superpowers, so while I did kind of miss that marital arts aspect, I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy nearly every big fight that happened in Z, and same things for naruto, at the end of the day when it comes to action scenes I just want to be entertained ( another reason y it probably didn't bother me to much was cause when it came to naruto, I was always more interested about the characters and story rather than the fights. But in regards to u saying og naruto is better than shippuden, nah, for me shippuden did everything better, from the fights to the animation, to the voice acting ( I prefer naruto in the dub ) , to the character development, to the villains, to the pacing , to the emotional moments ect. Don't get me wrong I love og naruto, I just think shippuden is 10 times better, but that's just me
C'mon water dragons, fire balls, giant toads, a literal spinning ball of plasma. Magic eyes, the gates, a giant fox, a giant tanuki, full control of element, being able to LITERALLY POSSES SOMONE. being able to control shadows, being able to expand to a giants size, being to control someone's view on reality, being able to turn into a LITERAL DEMON, summoning the god of death, giant snakes, inhuman strength, being able to see in a 360 POV, shuriken the size of a human, being able to clone yourself, being able to paralyze someone just by hitting them, being able to rip bones from out of your body, being able to physically change into any form you want, and probably more. How is any of this "like an actual ninja".
This fight was 10 times cooler then any God vs God fight in Boruto. How? Well because it looks and feels grounded. The music is a masterpiece and the acting and directing are fantastic. It feels effortlessly badass.
nekkoMaster Sasuke and Itachi had more than enough power to defeat Kabuto if they had really wished to kill him. However he needed to be kept alive so izanami proved to be the easiest and the most effective way of getting him to undo the reanimation jutsu.
First, I like here how Kakashi calmly admit talent of Kabuto at the end. Second, I like that before Kabuto went through the window, he threw shurikens so glass would be easily broken. So good details
0:55 Kabuto was sweating and he didn't even break a sweat when he fought against Tsunade one of the legendary sanin. This just goes to show you that even someone as skilled as Kabuto saw Kakashi as a threat and that's part of the reason why Kabuto failed the mission to kill sasuke. Man Kakashi's a badass.
Kakashi was considered as a threat even in Pain's opinion.The only reason Kakashi really havent shown his real strenght is Naruto,because if Kakashi could do everything alone there wasnt any need in Naruto at all.
I love how in the original series , literally anyone below Sannin level considered avoiding Kakashi during missions completely, as they were aware that this guy is the absolute unit in Konoha
Naruto Part 1: **tactics and smart kunai fights** Naruto Shippuden: **casually throws a meteor** Boruto: **casually being a near god-level at the age of 12**
I think using casual until high wizard techniques are nice, such us fireball jutsu, water trumpet jutsu, or healing techniques, chidori, until wind rasengan and rasenshuriken at mature age, but I say NO to near god power at age under 20.
@@allipse8224 boruto can use kekkei genkai that doesnt belong to Uzamaki or Hyuga clans because the writing is shitty and consistently ret cons the other shows.
This scene always confused me. So Kabuto went to the hospital, killed 3 Anbu BO, made two into meat puppets, disguised one as himself, made a shadow clone, all the moment that he sensed that Kakashi was coming?
My guess is that he sense Kakashi approaching up the stairs while holding the scalpel or him prepping the shadow clone as back up and Kabuto just followed by using transformation jutsu and swapping spots before Kakashi entered the room.
Well what do u anticipate when apparently the main character and his best friend are sheer gods and have the power to trounce their opponents but that all changes in boruto
Dude this fight could have been so much cooler, Kakashi and Kabuto are perfect for each other. They dont show much expression and they are practically genius’s
The first scene of NAruto I ever saw after my best friend showed me 13 years ago already, it was an amazing introduction to still my favourite series to this day. Thanks so much Kishimoto sensei for creating this series which really made my high school years so much better
It’s funny because at this point it seemed like there were so many opportunities for medical ninjitsu to help you do weird and powerful stuff. Orochimaru said Kabuto was as strong as Kakashi with only knowing medical ninjitsu. And then we meet Tsunade who is the best medical ninja to ever live and all she does is use super strength and self healing, same with Sakura.
It has too many flaws, but ninjas is very loose to say. But in this part is what Ninjas were really about, espionage and assassination. But i think the show is good at humanizing the existential part... but i guess my issue is it doesnt have much of an answer on how to overcome it. Like example would be "Walker Texas Ranger" episode 1. But it has good moments for sure, i think early stuff had good drawing quality.
@@goldinthefurnace i mean sage mode kabuto is far stronger than Kakashi he can beat both asuma and Kakashi at the same time 😎 kabuto the strongest jonin of the hidden leaf
Back when the fights had actual choreography that showed the strategy at play down to every step they took as positioning was a constant deciding factor, such as here where Kakashi sways downward when he rushes since his his priority is not to kill Kabuto but get between him and Sasuke, and from the very start begins a kick so he can use the extra range of his legs to ensure he can block any strike towards Sasuke in time. …instead of now where it’s just mach whatever flight and “teleports behind you.”
In a fight Naruto had with Orochimaru on that bridge, Kabuto said: "This is more like a fight between monsters, not ninjas" That single statement summed up the entire series from that point on basically.
People complain about meteros and stuff..but chakra existed for 1000 years..people just adapted..at least the power system increased slowly and did not rush it
Kabuto had a really great potential to be even more of a great, to me it always seemed it like he would double-cross orochimaru for some reason and he would kill anyone in order to achieve that goal whether they were good or bad.
Damn, I barely remember this scene, it's like ancient history. Much better than most of wannabe DBZ Shippuden/Part 2. Characters were so mysterious and interesting back then.
Outsmarted Kakashi, fight againts Tsunade,Shizune and Naruto, being Sasori's spy, taking Orochimaru's body, perform a mass edo tensei and become a Sage Dragon. This is Kabuto Yakushi Itachi : "Hold my crow!"
For all y’all saying “before everyone was op”...the show was bound to end up that way eventually....the whole story started off resting on the fact that naruto had a giant ass demon fox inside of him that could destroy mountains...u thought that that was gonna be the only god level thing in the series to look forward to?😂naruto had to grow powerful with the power of the fox so of course the series had to keep up so it wasn’t just naruto obliterating everyone.
Just for addition, shonen anime need power escalation. Without these op stuff, people would be bored watching 200+ episodes with just ninjas throwing shurikens at each other. I'll admit that they poorly written the power escalation, but saying that there's no strategy in shippuden? Its just like saying World war 2 had no strategy because we dont see any strategy there. Shippuden just had large scale fights, but even with that the protagonists build up complex strategy in that.
People aren't complaining about power scaling,they are complaining in how some abilities got boring.Take the sharingan,for example.It was a unique,powerful and respectable ability;You could tell shit was going get serious whenever was activated.Now,there's like 5 fucking versions and even random dudes have base sharingan.The sharingan didn't need any of crap,base sharingan was already cool.
@@dbdperson9595 they've been ninjas who constantly manipulate nature based on their born powers, extra old legend about a family trait, an ancient beast, and etc doesn't change that fact, they're still humans who can manipulate nature however much they can. If you ask me, they lost me when they started summoning objects and animals
@@Hari-om6yx Because it's dumb and make any other characters that ins't the main cast useless to the plot. If you don't have the power to destroy a country, you can't do anything.
@@au_rie Definitely not. Head to head with no convenient dead bodies lying around, Kabuto would get clapped by Kakashi. Sharingan is pretty much a direct counter to Kabuto's style of being sneaky to win, and nobody is more ninja than Kakashi.
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290 Orochimaru and Jiraiya said that Kabuto was at Kakashi's level in Part 1. So a fight between the two would have be toe to toe. But yeah I think Kakashi would have win at the end
