    Filler in manga?

    I don't think Kishimoto is conciously writing like "Hey, this idea ain't half-bad, lets not write it so it can be incorporated into the anime!", mainly because he's way too busy with the manga as it is to worry much about what's going on in the anime. At most I'm guessing he just answers the phone when the Studio Pierrot animators call in with some question...

    *Flashback to when Kishimoto was drawing the Naruto VS 30% Itachi fight*

    Kishimoto: Fuck, how am I going to solve this? I need to somehow make it so Naruto can hurt Itachi.. hmm..

    *ring ring*

    Kishimoto: Yo?
    Studio Pierrot: Sup Kishi mate, this is Pierrot
    Kishimoto: Make it quick, I'm in the middle of my next ingenius scheme, and I have something really good in store so you better not interrupt for too long
    Pierrot: Okay Kishi man I'll be brief. See, you're doing these chapter thingies way too slowly... not to mention taking breaks way too fucking often... so we have to, y'know, pull a audience killer on the public.
    Kishimoto: Audience killer?
    PIerrot: Yeah you know... worthless sideplots, stupid catchphrases... filler, they call it.
    Kishimoto: Oh, yeah. I love those. After all, I grew up with DBZ... oh those fillers were truly gr-
    Pierrot: Yeah yeah whatever. So basically I was wondering if you perhaps would mind if we... ehh.. slaughtered the continuity of the show a bit.
    Kishimoto: Continu- what now? Oh sure, go ahead.
    Pierrot: I'm thinking like, bringing in relatives of old characters, and perhaps even re-using some old quick sketches of yours?
    Kishimoto: Sure whatever
    Pierrot: But ehh... we don't really know how to -
    Kishimoto: For the love of obscure japanese mythology references, just fucking use a rasengan. Now piss off, I'm busy

    *click*

    Kishimoto: Hmm... so how to finish the fight... OH YEAH! I GOT IT! I'LL HAVE NARUTO DO A DOUBLE RASENGAN! THAT's LIKE TWO IN ONE SUPER MEGA COOLNESS!!

    *pause*

    Kishimoto: I'M A GENIUS

    ...couldn't resist.

    Sadly, that is a viable possiblity...Also, there are so many writers and manga artists in Japan. Ever hear of the term "starving artist" Kishimoto wasn't always rich. Needless to say many times when the money starts rolling in "sacrifices" are made...and the art/story, well the art/story can take one for the team. Money changes everything.

    terra's "self proclaimed visions" are always a blast [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    and yes, i could picture that happening the studio constantly bugging kishimoto so he finally just tells them to rasengan everything.


    LaZie made this...a long time ago.
