Naruto Chapter 449

[UChessmaster]

yeah... because people die in one piece... (extreme sarcasim)

Uhmmmm they do... i won`t spoil though.

once again we forget this: "The basis of shonen manga is happy endings." - watsuki nobuhiro

Claymore

and just like how watsuki got trashed for "reviving" kaoru in rurouni kenshin we bash kishimoto for reviving the dead. we see characters come back from the dead and we assume thats trash, but real trash is when they retcon a situation. for instance (for x-men readers, if they exist on this site) magneto really being xorn's twin brother pretending to be xorn pretending to be magneto in order to revive both characters. we are all failing to see things in the context of the characters and the impact it has on them.

He will retcon, remember the dead relatives and friends nagato had yet didnt res whith his technique it`s either a plot hole or it will be retconed, you`ll see.

if chouji and neji would have died way back in the rescue sasuke story shikamaru would have really quit being a ninja. There would have been no realistic reason for someone like him to continue after the loss of his best friend, and it helped forge him into a stronger character.

Asuma`s dead didn`t made Shika quit, there really is no way to confirm if he would`ve quit or not.

if nagato would have not revived all of those he killed he would have never had a moment were he redeems himself. That would make it harder for the reader to empathize with him, even after his sob story. By having nagato entrust naruto after both changing his view and himself, the ending of this arc is stronger.

Must EVERY villian in Naruto be redeemed? zabuza... haku... gaara... itachi... sasori.. orochimaru, the only villians that didnt got redeemed (zombie pairs) maintained their badass factor after losing.

i had read a ton of stories, and the best ones are the ones that use death as an impactful tool for the characters. ask yourself, what does the death shizune really mean? the answer: nothing. And can kakashi's death really make as much of an impact to the naruto as jiraiya's? the answer: no.

A character killed just for shock value only to be revided 5 chapters after is just cheap storytelling.

I ususally dont post just to bash an episode but i`m sorry sir, this episode was just BAD.
