    Do you have any idea how hypocritical/retarded this sentence is?

    I don't see it. I think your trying to say that Harry Potter, does this blah blah blah. He hasn't expressed that he feels Harry Potter's plot armor is fine and dandy. So I don't see why you have to call him out on it.

    Naruto fought until he died. Literally.

    He fought so hard that his exhaustion actually killed him.

    Whatever he gets after working that hard is fine by me. He just bitch-slapped the fuck out of Harry's martyrdom.

    EDIT: sorry, momentary retardation struck. Not exhaustion so much as the kyuubi being ripped out, but I still feel like he certainly tried hard enough/suffered through enough to earn this one.

    Yeah, I'm pretty good with this powerup. My complaints in the past have usually been that Naruto or Sasuke get a powerup just for the sake of getting a powerup and fucking the other over. This one was actually relevant to the plot, and it happened to both of them, so it's cool.

    Exhaustion? I was under the impression that Madara ripping the Kyuubi out killed him.

    Yep, forget I said exhaustion then, I suppose. I was getting confused with an earlier segment of the fight. But experiencing the kind of exhaustion he did, after sacrificing as much chakra as he did to help other people out, only to have the kyuubi brutally ripped from him, qualifies him in my book as having earned whatever power he's about to get.

    Even if the exhaustion didn't kill him, he most definitely went all out. It's not like he took a nap and woke up with powers; he gave everything of himself and pretty much died.

    Heard you were talking shit about the Byakugan, which turns any holder into a mobile ninja detection outpost from practically birth.

    Heard you were talking shit about Jyuuken, which is the copyrighted Anti-Ninja Kung Fu of the shinobi world. Also something which is taught practically from birth. Which includes the Kaiten, I might add, the only thing in this manga which I can recall that's ever gone head to head with a Rasengan and come out even.

    Fuck each and every one of you haters. Hyuuga-side, STRONG SIDE.

    Bitches don't know bout my male hair-care products.

    Retarded? I can actually agree with. I know -why- Kishimoto is getting away with it. It was more just a statement of frustration.

    Hypocritical? I don't agree with. As Andy said, I've never supported shoddy story-telling in -any- of the books, movies, or fanfictions I've read.

    Did that actually happen because I can't recall? The chidori definitely has though.

    Nemrut is right. Stories become disappointing and emotionally detached when the consequences of people's actions start to no longer matter.

    The First Law of good writing surely is: people die when they are killed (no meme intended).

    You're an idiot.

    You're still reading, aren't you?

    He's getting away with this because of people like you and me, who religiously read his shit every week and then complain about it on the internet, and do the same next week. That's why you're a hypocrite.

    Or maybe he gets away with it because he made a sprawling epic that has entertained millions for years.

    Either or both.

    I read it, yes. But I've not given a dime to the franchise in years. I don't even watch the anime for it anymore.

    You're actually saying that you don't care about it in the same breath as saying that you still follow it?

    Seriously?

    The reason I follow it, is that I have followed it for nearly ten fricking years. I want to see how it ends and have the fanfictions make sense.

    That said, you are assuming I don't care about the series. I don't give money to it because I don't support shoddy story-telling. I love the world that has been created. I love several of the characters and want to see how it all plays out even if I think it is happening in a horrible manner.

    I'm not quite certain why you appear to be getting so upset about this though. It's merely opinion. I've not said anything against you or attacked you in anyway. Furthermore neither did Andy.

    Son, I read Bleach and Fairy Tail, and I stuck with Hitman Reborn through to the end.

    Do you have any idea how hard I just snorted? I think my keyboard physically lifted off my desk for half a second.

    First of all, you must be new to the Shonen genre. What you're whinging about would be called a Seinen.

    Secondly, until Neji and everyone else who died today gets retroactively brought back from the dead and Naruto becomes best friends with Madara who then agrees to live in Konoha and have further adventures with them, you don't get to say that.
