i LOVE how deranged the Naruto characters are allowed to be on occassion without Kishimote even really thinking about it. Kishimoto will casually be like 'the first thing Kakashi EVER does as a teacher is put FRESHLY graduated Sakura into See Your Worst Fears No Jutsu as a fun little test teehee' 'oh shit team 8 didn't get a cool moment during the chunin exams. uhhh they like. fed 12 children to bugs idk' 'UM okay lee, at age 13, is a master of the drunken fist. don't think about that for too long' 'haha so get this right. Shikamaru is, like, PRETTY pissed Asuma dies, so he subjicates his killer to The Horrors Forever and never thinks about him again. smart guy great guy love that guy' like. say what you will about Kishimoto but. He COMMITS to the 'my characters are ninja with ninja moral codes' bit and they've all got SUCH warped concepts of 'proportionate punishment' and 'how to treat children without traumatizing them' and 'what counts as torture, technically?'

idk why there were so many fillers in naruto later on where they was trying to show all these different people who were naruto's first friend. when all it does is dampen his past and motivations. literally all we see from the beginning is how naruto was ENTIRELY alone until the fight with mizuki, and iruka, etc. etc.

so then why would they backtrack later in shippuden fillers trying to show that naruto played with ino, shikamaru, choji and sakura or whtever. it wasn't js being treated badly by other kids his age, the whole point was that he didn't get any interaction or friends at ALL. even if because the parents were keeping their kids away from the "demon".

like bruh, it js softens his true isolation and weakens his whole motivation in the show to seek validation and become hokage. atp he should've js stuck to what he set up, and let the rookie 9 become friends later. like it doesn't make sense either. if, for example, kiba, choji, shikamaru and naruto were close during the academy and skipped class together or whtever, then why in the original naruto show were the four not familiar at all? shikamaru and kiba considering naruto a loser at that, even saying it outright. there was no friendship then, so how did the "friendship" from childhood magically disappear??

i like fillers fs for worldbuilding and interaction purposes, but this one was inconsistent to me ig

NARUTO series creator Masashi Kishimoto reacts to Toriyama's passing.

"I honestly don't know what to write about this sudden event.

But for now, I would like to share my thoughts and feelings that I had hoped for one day Mr. Toriyama would ask me about it.

I grew up with his manga, Dr. Slump in the lower grades of elementary school and Dragon Ball in the upper grades, and it was natural for me to have his manga as a part of my life.

Even when I was having a bad day, the weekly Dragon Ball made me forget about it. As a country boy with nothing, that was a relief to me.

I really enjoyed Dragon Ball too much!

I was a college student. Suddenly, Dragon Ball, which had been a part of my life for so many years, came to an end.

I felt a tremendous sense of loss and didn't know what to look forward to.

But at the same time, it was an opportunity for me to truly understand the greatness of the master who created Dragon Ball.

I wanted to create a work like his!

I wanted to be just like him!

And as I followed in his footsteps to become a manga artist, I began to feel less and less lost.

It was because I enjoyed making manga.

By following him, I was able to find new enjoyment.

Sensei was always my guide.

He was my admirer.

I may be annoying to him, but I am grateful to him.

For me, he was truly the God of salvation and the God of manga.

When I first met him, I was too nervous to say a single word.

But after meeting him many times at the Tezuka Award judging, I became able to talk.

I will never forget the slightly embarrassed smile on his face when he and Mr. Oda talked excitedly about how Dragon Ball was fun, as if they were children again and were engaged in a competition.

I just received the news of Sensei's passing.

I feel a tremendous sense of loss, more than when Dragon Ball ended...

I still don't know how to deal with this hole in my heart.

I can't even read Dragon Ball, which I love.

I don't even feel like I can write this message to Sensei properly.

Everyone in the world was still looking forward to your work.

If I could really have one Dragon Ball wish come true...I'm sorry...

That may be selfish of me, but I am sad, Sensei.

Akira Toriyama-sensei, thank you for 45 years of enjoyable works.

And thank you for your hard work.

I am sure that his family members are still deeply saddened by this loss.

Please take care of yourselves.

I pray that Akira Toriyama-sensei may rest in peace."
