Why did ArcSys waste all their talent and resources on fucking DRAGON BALL of all series where everybody fights the exact same with different colors instead of something like Naruto? I mean, it's been long enough where they could have just covered part 1 and left part 2 for a sequel. Shit man.
pic related, its the best character and who I would have mained.
DBZ unironically appeals to room temperature iq people.
Ryan Jackson
Why make a naruto game when you could make motherfucking shonen jump plus others magazines to make a dream smash tier game.
Mason Myers
Dragon Ball is better than Naruto for God's sake.
Ayden Perry
Recipe for disaster. Just pick one franchise and tell its story. Pffffft hahaha okay buddy. Maybe Dragon Ball can compete with Naruto at it's highest point, but as an entire series Naruto blows DB everything out of the fucking water.
should I watch Naruto? I am watching boruto right now
Luis Brooks
Not popular enough. Well your first mistake was watching fucking Boruto, why would you even do that to yourself? I've heard the manga is better but still haven't read it. You basically have to watch Naruto if you're gonna watch Boruto. At least part 1.
Blake Jackson
Because Dragon Ball is a better comic than Naruto.
Dragon Ball definitely starts out great, but if you take Super into account, it turns into a parody of itself where nobody matters except Goku and Vegeta, no one dies anymore, there's no more blood, or lewdness. It's a Saturday Morning Cartoon.
Naruto starts out well enough, gets rough after Sasuke leaves the village, and kinda meanders between neat and silly until the end where everything is ALIENS, EYEBALLS, and BELLY BEASTS. And moresoe than anything, they have the grace to retire Naruto and let his son take over the franchise, but for real this time.
In some respects, Naruto argueably aged better than Dragon Ball.
The Chuunin Exams were great, but the entire series plummets downhill right after
Grayson Gutierrez
>Dragon Ball is better than Naruto Hahaha sure thing paco. Dbz is more popular, that's just it.
Naruto along most shonen are both better built and better developed. DBZ relies on cheap hype for easily impressionable minds In DBZ there's no such thing as a villain with reasonable motivations aside one dimensional evil stereotypes protected by plot armor. The world of DBZ constantly expandes to add whatever magical mumbo jumbo expansion asspull, when the main cast reaches unparallel power creep, just to move the power ceiling up, because they can't come up with anything beyond that basic formula.
Cameron Ross
you could say the same thing about literally any shounen anime
Connor Stewart
Fuck right off with your shit taste mate. Naruto fights have and always will be more interesting to watch.
Parker Bailey
Doesn't matter, it's better in both regards lol. >Sand Village invasion >Sasuke Retrieval >most of Shippuden Not at all.
Colton Baker
>shounen shitters arguing over which of their slop is better In all seriousness though, Dragon Ball's original run is vastly superior to Naruto, and Boruto is a fucking trainwreck of a trainwreck.
Because Naruto is terrible. Anyone that likes Naruto past the age of 12 has terrible taste.
Parker Gutierrez
Nah. You can't.
Jace Gutierrez
Right, and Dragonbastards are just the pinnacle of society aren't they
Landon Watson
If I recall, even the final battles in Naruto has strategies. Someone say they are going to use these techniques because that's what they are vulnerable to, or I'll combine my special technique with yours to do a neat combo attack. DBZ doesn't even have that battle thinking going on.
Eli Moore
Nigger i yesterday finished Naruto and started Shippuden,so deactivate your coping mechanism because they add shit constantly.
Caleb Adams
>Naruto is somehow more worthy of an ArcSys game than Dragonball
Even if we could agree that Dragonball is the better franchise (its not) beams and punching shit fast don't make for nearly as interesting of mechanics compared to Naruto's many varied abilities
Cameron Taylor
>he thinks moeshit is for intelligent people LMAO
Alexander Hall
>Doesn't matter, it's better in both regards lol. I highly doubt you can even make it through an entire book.
Joshua Lewis
Naruto as a franchise certainly greater potential to stimulate arcs capacity for creativity.
DBZ is energy ball and energy beams but Naruto has a lot of crazy stuff to work with in fighters.
Justin Wright
For the last part yeah but only towards the end where they basically fight a god and they also fight her family in space don't they? In the movie? I love Naruto but they really messed up the final arc. Every other arc was flawed but still pretty good, the war arc just fell completely flat after kankuro's divisions' fight. And I still hate that Kabuto literally had 1 fight using sage mode only to be put against not 1 but 2 fucking uchihas.
Colton Sanchez
>t. huemonkey
Colton Hernandez
Because Naruto is fucking shit lmao
Cameron Adams
UCHIHA SHITS
Jace Rogers
PAy closer attention to the things you read then dipshit, Naruto retcons are additive and expand on its concepts whereas Toriyama just does whatever the fuck he wants whenever the fuck he wants, and casually forgets any and all established rules and concepts of his own series.
Jace Wood
Because Bamco wanted a Dragonball game and paid them to develop it, not hard to figure out
>Naruto Stopped reading there, literally the worst anime in existence
Zachary Reyes
naruto games are garbage naruto stopped being good about 4 years into its run naruto is now passe except for the much smaller percentage of people mostly actual small children who watch boruto
black clover>>>>>naruto
Grayson Hill
Only good thing about Naruto is the girls.
Blake Young
Because ArcSys makes licensed games for money so they made the more popular franchise amongst the demographic.
>naruto stopped being good it can't stop if it never started
Anthony Smith
eh, I'd argue the series falls apart ~ when asuma dies
which is much further than most claim, but there's still around 8 years of manga after that point.
Elijah Bailey
the only thing that could've given naruto some redemption was to make salad actually not worst girl's kid, but they chickened out on it
Ryan Adams
>he thinks drawings in general are for intelligent people LOL O L
Levi Wood
>he thinks live action trash tv is for intelligent people LMAO
Eli Williams
God that was some fucking stupid shit. The power creep in Naruto was dumb and not thought out. "Oh we met one of the most dangerous Ninjas on our first mission and won! Where do we go from here? I know, we'll make even MORE dangerous ninjas that apparently everyone has known about but we don't hear about until they fight."
Hudson Jones
Yes I agree it did get really whacky near the end which is why I say most of Shippuden. It's rarely awful or unbearable, but even the worst of Naruto can't compare to the worst of DB.
And I wouldn't say the War Arc fell flat entirely after Kanks divi, it still had some high points beyond that.
Josiah Baker
naruto was legitimitely okay at least, if not amazing, for about half the series. Even into the timeskip, there were some fantastic fights and good scenes - such as the rematch between naruto+sakura with kakashi, where kakashi had to put in effort, showing their growth.
I'm not going to even begin to defend the ninja war, or anything to do with obito or madara, but...eh.
Robert Green
Nah, their skills would also be wasted on that generic shonen tripe. Now Jojo - that's the series that would push their skills to the limit.
Matthew Murphy
Huh? Point me where I said that retard LOL imagine being this insecure
Jacob Richardson
At least Naruto feels bad about being an inattentive dad
Isaiah Sanchez
They took a brutal loss the first time. It was believable that the Akatsuki was a force to be reckoned with and that they needed to step their shit up after that.
Jace Barnes
You absolute moron
Anthony Gomez
He has no reason to be one though.
Jose Morris
I was more of a d.grayman guy until the artist got fucked beyond reason. RIP that series.
Oliver Richardson
>there are people in this thread arguing over which shounen is ''""better"""
Because DB is more popular than Naruto..? Naruto is now Boruto anyways, is like when Dragon Ball kept going with GT
Still, I wouldnt mind Naruto, or One Piece, or a Bleach, In fact, just make a Anime Arcsys figther and call it a day. I will play as Roshi, Jiraiya and Sanji, or team of Kakashi, Usopp and Gt.Saiyaman, or team with Kenpachi, Broly and Kaido
Adrian Rivera
I rather have arcsys fate game
Cooper Robinson
Naruto is missed potential: the series Power levels spikes too much.
>Dragonbastards Holy fuck why am I laughing so hard at this?
Jayden Martinez
Except being the actual president of his village. The one time he used a Shadow clone in his place at home he spilt his daughters birthday cake and ruined the night for everyone.
Gabriel Rodriguez
Kakashi has to be one of the coolest characters ever conceived in anime. Calm, collected, cool, rational, level headed, cunning, knows his limits, factors others into the equation, can adapt to any situation. Also Guy is on par.
Gavin Clark
I'd rather a FMA fighter
Jaxson Miller
Is there anything stopping him from leaving a Kage Bunshin at the office? It was always said that it's a perfect copy that learns and can make decisions.
Jonathan Miller
Guy is best guy. Kakashi is literal mary sue garbage
James Carter
Because talented people are Dragonball fans so they made it...the fuck you gonna do Nardo fuck boy?
I could swear the movie makes note of this by having Naruto learn his lesson and use his shadow clones for work instead. Boruto even plays a prank on his dad thinking it's a shadow clones only for it to be the real deal. Then again, this was damn near 5 years ago now, so who knows how the manga has dealt with it.
William Allen
The season ending for jojo sucked. Made us wait 2 weeks for a 30 minute episode and a cheesy ending.
Jaxon Smith
>Kakashi >1000 jutsu copy ninja >Kishimoto "forgot" about this shit after Zabuza's arc Funny, how Sharingan seemed a cool technique before all the drama with eyes transformations
Kakashi, Guy, Jiraiya, Shikamaru, Lee, Orochimaru, Kakazu, Kisame, Zabuza and Haku were all great. Even Madara was until he goes fulll MJ, or how Gaara and Neji developed. And that bug kid
Asher Lee
Bruh kakashi killed his friend and other friend, he suffered. I kinda hate how they made anko fat. She was my first anime fap.
Robert Sullivan
If you wanted to know the ending so badly you could just download the manga during the wait.
Gavin Ramirez
It wasnt that, the finale was just underwhelming. I was expecting an all out battle, but all we got was a long winded cutscene and a skip to the future. I was expecting Gara vs Genos.
Christian Lee
>man I'm so busy with work and I wish I could spend more time at home >oh, right, I can make shadow clones that are essentially 1:1 to my thoughts, knowledge, actions, personality, and I learn whatever they did when they disappear >I'll go spend time with my family and let me shadow clone stay in the office, and then at the end of the day I'll gather his knowledge
Yah, way too hard, better off to make him a terrible father who just does paperwork all day.
Landon Edwards
The truth that naruto fags cannot understand. The bane of their existence really, basedpost user.
Sebastian Wilson
>gets magic eye and proceeds to wallhack everything with it >in the end has both eyes normal >sike this dude you used to be friends with is now really dead, you'll now get his magic eyes magically because of afterlife space ninja magic >somehow masters susanoo instantly >accidentally his friend makes him not mary sue yeah alright, he's not
Jaxson Morgan
Dragonball is a fucking icon. It's not a surprise if people at ArcSys who made the game are actual fans. Naruto is like all the new shit that came after because of it. They are good but will never have that original and luxurious shine.
Best part is, Kakashi killed in the same exact way Haku as he did with Rin, which is why he goes "oh shit" because vietnam war flashbacks
Robert Gomez
Imagine watching Boruto before Naruto. Do you even understand what's happening in Boruto?
Aaron Gutierrez
Ah yes I remember the many wizards that specialized in martial arts and thrown projectiles
William Garcia
Didn't Rin commit suicide by Chidori? Because Haku died by Raikiri which is almost the same thing.
Luke Hall
Yeah, I recently started rewatching Naruto and there's many parallels.
Brandon King
Remember how Storm 2 did the Naruto vs. Pain fight more justice than the anime?
Wyatt Phillips
Bleach is peak wild ride kino like Gantz.
Hudson Kelly
Couldn't go the distance and was shamefully replaced be an even worse series that died an equally irrelevant death.
Levi Green
They show Naruto failing the Polyjuice Jutsu right at the beginning.
Joshua Cooper
man, I don't remember. By the time obito started blaming kakashi for killing rin, all I remembered was that kakashi had stabbed her. I don't really remember the specifics.
remember when the naruto vs pain fight in the anime looked like it did because japan was underwater?
>implying guy wasn't robbed of his victory against muh OG uchiha shit the least they could've done was insert rabbit girl at that point because madara got btfo, but no
Brody Peterson
That’s just because of their boring design in game If they had made a combat system that copied marvel 3 it would’ve been a lot more exciting. Also it probably isn’t up to arcsys which game to make it was up to Bandai Namco and they chose the most exciting and popular worldwide shonen so from a business perspective it made perfect sense.
William Jackson
Bleachfags aren’t nearly as cancerous as Narutofags so there isn’t much of an audience.
Jayden King
DragonBall, yes. DragonBall Z, no.
DB > Naruto > DBZ > Shitpooden.
Matthew Torres
He completely fucked Madara, he even said he could have died, best Naruto fight ever, even making nods to the Gaara vs Lee fight.
Leo Edwards
Boruto > DBS > Monkey tured > DBGT
Angel Roberts
Dragon Ball is better than Naruto up to a point
Everything post-Frieza and arguably post-Raditz is worse by a fucking mile, not to say that Naruto doesn't have faults but at least it doesn't start fucking parodying itself.
Juan Hall
I can accept this, yeah.
Anthony Perez
Honestly, Lee got robbed in a long run. Kishimoto practically dropped him for Gai.
Kayden Barnes
>Still mad he doesn't have a sharingan in RL. Never even considered it. The penis was feminine, not gay, i also felt bad for haku, to be honest i was like 12 when that episode came out, i thought haku was a girl.
Juan Sullivan
exactly, but madara had to be defeated by muh main characters so regeneration bullshit happened instead of actually having guy take the win and then have the rest kill og playboy mommy
guy and lee should've teamed up full gates mode against madara for more kino fight.
Nicholas Thompson
No one else came even close, I see that as a win for Guy, even more so after watching his back story, holy fucking shit I still tear up remembering it.
Ian Torres
>When the supposed joke character becomes the most based and rocks the main villain's shit.
Brandon Bailey
In the end both died in the same way by Kakashi's hands. Both died to protect something. Rin died because she was a timebomb with a tail beast inside and she wanted Kakashi to kill her off
Almost everyone got robbed in part 2. Lee and Neji really suffered with that
Justin Nelson
Naruto was good when it didn't try to go all DBZ mode with powers and blasts. I liked watching the older one though. Bleach at least has fights with weapons n shit plus the characters are a bit more realistic and less extreme personality wise so.......wait this isn't /a
Justin Stewart
>madara had to be defeated I think you mean ganked and sacrificed to a bigger bad.
honestly any shounen would've probably made a better fighter than db. visually it's cool and doing shit like cell yells at majors was fun but it was too easy for them to make most characters feel the same, especially for the non top tiers in the current version.
Andrew Kelly
>When Kishimoto killed Neji off so Naruto and Hinata could become closer and completely ignore the destiny stuff that was inserted into the series so there wouldn't be an elephant in the room anymore concerning Neji.
James Thompson
>Neiji dies right before Naruto gets god powers Kishi hated him.
Jacob Lopez
Naruto doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. But to be fair, DBZ doesn't either. The series that actually deserves it is One Piece.
>Bleach fights >someone gets upper hand with some gimmick >HOWEVER >the other guy gets a power up and shows his own gimmick >the fight eventually ends with diagonal slashing >a lots of white backgrounds, reaction images through the middle, 1 double page and a couple of pages zooming the tip of a sword/blood/character face
Unless we are talking about Captain Bullshit and Aizen, every other fight would be like that
Thomas Reed
I'm currently trying to finish Naruto after I dropped it years ago because of all the filler. I'm at the part after the Danzo fight, where Naruto was crying like a bitch, depressed and hyper ventilating over the fact that Sasuke is going to be taken out for being an evil son of a bitch and going to destroy Konoha. He just tried killing Sakura for the third time, whom he has loved for the whole series and Naruto still is calling him a friend and trying to save him still. I can't stand this shit, Naruto is a pathetic sad sack of shit over Sasuke and Sasuke is an irredeemable piece of shit but Naruto still is trying to redeem him. I'm about to drop this show again, please someone tell me that Sasuke gets his just desserts for being such a terrible person because at this point him being forgiven would be such an immense injustice it would spoil the whole damn show.
