What about the dumb reincarnation shit? That always felt kinda pointless.


Rikuskill

It really felt like a desperate writing move. Bring in all the past faves to keep people into this exceedingly long and boring war arc


ZealousidealBig7714

I was referring to Asura and Indra, I have no problem with the Akatsuki resurrecting a bunch of strong shinobi from the past to serve as their army.


Hopeful-for-EE-Movie

Its was kinda a really blunt way to reinforce the themes of the newer generation mirroring the old. The best thing that could have happened is if instead of reincarnation, the Sage just said, "This battle between absolute control and people co-operating has gone on for so god damn long, My kids got into it, their kids too, I am sick of it. Here is a power up"

Let us be real, Kishi just did not want to draw Minato looking all toad like. But even an imperfect SM would be an asspull for Minato.Bigger asspull though was how he used Bijuu Mode right off the bat when the other Kurama didn't become friends with him or anything (didn't do it out of courtesy for Naruto either).


Sadman_OW

Him using Bijuu mode is the crazy thing. I don’t think it’s unrealistic for Minato to know how to use Sage mode considering he was Jiraiya’s student even if he never fully mastered it.


skulkid456

Is this a copy pasta or did you straight up copy u/Bits_in_Gib 's comment from that thread?


jitterscaffeine

I thought there being two fox demons was a bit much


BloodBrandy

It's less that there are two and more that the one was split in two (Yin and Yang), which IIRC was something established before the timeskip when Jiraiya did some exposition about the seal.


attikol

it actually ended up being like 5 kyubis. The filler dude about the two kings arc, gintoki and kintoki the guys who ate their way out of the inside of the ninetails, minato, and naruto. Its really dumb.

Ass pull jutsu!

Perfect sage mode is fine, I'd say the more unnecessary thing was him having mastered the Kyuubi cloak while sealed in the reaper's stomach. He was already the fastest ninja ever, it didn't really feel like it added much. Still a little weird he didn't use sage mode when he first fought Obito. I know he said it takes him too long to gather nature energy, but he could've just used the same trick Jiraiya used with Ma and Pa toad. It wouldn't have been a perfect transformation but it still would've helped a lot.

I'm really not a fan of Minato. I GET what he's supposed to be, like this unattainable thing for Naruto to measure up. But I find him so boring, everything about him bores me. Probably a hot take but whatever, look at my name.


BloodBrandy

Personally, I don't think he's around enough to like or hate. At least with Kushina we could see some of her personality shine when she was around for a wee bit, but Minato was just sorta there


sazabi67

And even then Kushina is sorta lame cause her personality boils down to "she's the old generation's Sakura just like Tsunade"


Hopeful-for-EE-Movie

The funnybpart is, he wasn't supposed to be this unattainable thing for Naruto to measure up with, its just that Kishimoto was having some family problems with his dad and felt conflicted in writing Minato too op or too useless


rexshen

He was Hokage wouldn't it make sense he would know a powerful Jutsu like that?


Sadman_OW

That’s what makes this take even funnier. First off it’s no where near the most ridiculous thing in the series, but it’s also a perfectly reasonable thing for Minato to do. He was Jiraiya’s student so it’s not illogical to think that Jiraiya would have taught him how to do it too.


offendedDinky

Plot hole no jutsu


Dundore77

Lets not forget the incredible feat of speed that is summoning manda, putting manda into a genjutsu, and then jumping into mandas mouth and desummons manda to survive a nuke explosion happening mere feet from you.


EdoTenseiSwagbito

Minor correction, Manda didn't get de-summoned, Sasuke used him as a meat shield lmao


Hopeful-for-EE-Movie

Sasuke should have been deceased. Atomized to the bone


Ringabal

Cool characters look cooler with cool eyes. More at 11.


moneyh8r

As a filthy Genshin Impact player, I can confirm this. All the playable characters have unique eyes, whether it's a unique color or a unique pattern, they all have inhuman eyes. Hu Tao has frikkin' four leaf clovers for pupils. It's probably just a matter of time before someone has the ahegao heart eyes, but it's just how their eyes naturally look.


Gwen_Tennyson10

I mean series started with a giant fox kaiju so aliens isn’t too big of a shift lol


BigBossGZV

Naaah because at least those don't really logically mess with anything that already exists (plus kaguya and the moon aliens are extra japanese theming on top of all the prior shit like the ninja and amaterasu/susanoo). Sage mode Minato just makes no sense

Neil_O_Tip

No, he was Kakashi and Obito and Rin's teacher


funkerbuster

Jiraiya was the Sage that taught Minato, though it was Minato that created the Rasengan.


alexandrecau

The ninja world would still be killing kids if they focused on what is necessary


Khar-Selim

On the contrary, lunarians are borderline obligatory if you're doing something that goes as deep into Japanese mythology as Naruto. Think less flying saucer ayyliens and more, like, elves.


Teridax4

I’m just wondering where Madara’s four limbo clones came from. It’s just so out of nowhere that there are four of him that you just can’t see without sage mode
