Is there a character that could even possibly EVEN TOUCH Madara Uchiha? Let alone defeat him. And I'm not talking about Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara. I'm not talking about Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara either. Hell, I'm not even talking about Juubi Jinchuuriki Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and Rinnegan doujutsus (with the rikodou abilities and being capable of both Amateratsu and Tsukuyomi genjutsu), equipped with his Gunbai, a perfect Susano'o, control of the juubi and Gedou Mazou, with Hashirama Senju's DNA implanted in him so he has mokuton kekkei genkai and can perform yin yang release ninjutsu while being an expert in kenjutsu and taijutsu. I’m also not talking about Kono Yo no Kyūseishu Futarime no Rikudō Juubi Jinchuuriki Gedou Rinne Tensei Uchiha Madara with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (which is capable of Enton Amaterasu, Izanagi, Izanami and the Tsyukuyomi Genjutsu), his two original Rinnegan (which grant him Chikushōdō, Shuradō, Tendō, Ningendō, Jigokudō, Gakidō, Gedō, Banshō Ten’in, Chibaku Tensei, Shinra Tensei, Tengai Shinsei and Banbutsu Sōzō) and a third Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead, capable of using Katon, Fūton, Raiton, Doton, Suiton, Mokuton, Ranton, Inton, Yōton and even Onmyōton Jutsu, equipped with his Gunbai(capable of using Uchihagaeshi) and a Shakujō because he is a master in kenjutsu and taijutsu, a perfect Susano’o (that can use Yasaka no Magatama ), control of both the Juubi and the Gedou Mazou, with Hashirama Senju’s DNA and face implanted on his chest, his four Rinbo Hengoku Clones guarding him and nine Gudōdama floating behind him AFTER he absorbed Senjutsu from the First Hokage, entered Rikudō Senjutsu Mode, cast Mugen Tsukuyomi on everybody and used Shin: Jukai Kōtan so he can use their Chakra while they are under Genjutsu.

>I guess we are gonnna forget that prodigies can exist. Kakashi was already advanced by age ten.
Boruto isn't a prodigy. Kakashi is shown training hard and became a Genin at 6 at the tail end of the 2nd War. He was raised on blood, having lost his mother early and his father soon after to suicide due to dishonor. Not to mention that until he got the Sharingan he wasn't as powerful, and even after getting the Sharingan he wouldn't have been able to kill Momoshiki even with help.
Hell, his jonin promotion was as much due to the loss of life in the war as it was his skill, hence why things slowed down after the war.
Itachi is the same situation, having witnessed the bloodshed of the 3rd War first hand and also having a dojutsu that basically does a majority of the heavy lifting (copying any technique is OP, and its what let Kakashi as a kid go from skilled to legendary).
Jiraiya worked his ass off training with the toads and under the Hokage himself, as did Orochimaru and Tsunade. They didn't arrive as genin capable of throwing multiple lightning jutsu, water jutsu and shadow clones.
We don't see enough about Minato, but its presumable the same thing, he worked to his position. He didn't get handed special powers. The closest we get is Kushina's Adamantine chains, but noteably Naruto doesn't inherit these.
Sasuke literally gets his body modified by Orochimaru and trains relentlessly, this is explicitly stated and a major point of frustration for him before then, as he gets bodied by Itachi.
Boruto achieves a nature-transformation with a rasengan in a shorter amount of time than it took Naruto by a country mile. Naruto learning the Rasengan in a week or so was already considered amazing because it took Jiraiya months to figure it out, but Jiraiya also taught him the steps of it first. For the Fuuton Rasengan and Rasenshuriken, Naruto had to first MASTER wind using thousands of clones for at least a week and then more time applying it to the Rasengan, essentially using shadow clones to compress years of training into days and suffering immense backlash for it. His arm gets shredded by his own technique until sage mode provides the protection and method of throwing it.
With a couple clones Boruto in less time does the same thing BY ACCIDENT and without sage mode learns to throw it. That's not prPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>They fought the Ninja war for days, Naruto literally making thousands of clones, sharing his chakra with thousands upon thousands of people, helping teleport them, firing dozens of jutsu that vaporized mountain ranges, survived dying and being resuscitated, along with his soul nearly being torn out of his body, and then after that he still had enough energy to slug it out with Sasuke for a day after that, where he survived getting impaled by Amaterasu, among other things.
>Against Jigen, a pissant compared to Kaguya, they lasted 10 minutes at most and were suddenly exhausted by Jutsu they used to throw around like nothing. No Sage arts, no frog strike, no kirin, nothing.

You expect Naruto and Sasuke to be these invincible powerhouses but you get upset about Boruto learning Rasengan and chakra nature without needing Sage mode?

You’re also forgetting that Boruto was trained by his dad and the academy? And that maybe their techniques have been updated?

>I disagree. Nothing wrong with Orange, hell its loudness is partially the point, his entire world-view on Shinobi is completely contrary to what it is, down to wearing the opposite scheme of color.


It’s not the orange. It’s the jumpsuit.
It’s not really that good.
He looks way better with his Hokage outfit

And yet you say this:
>Because overall it doesn't fit, not as depicted. It's like Legend of Korra's idiotic parody of 1920s America, somehow they went from power-users in feudal lands to modern capitalists with a lot of technology that just happens to be like ours. In Boruto this is worse because Scientific ninja tools go from plausible chakra based devices to "bio-mechanical cyborgs" as if its Cyberpunk 2077, an ENORMOUS leap in technology from people using VCRs up until the 4th War.


If anything, technological leaps like that makes sense in a way. We have a world where chakra exists and it can be used to manipulate matter, energy, and even time. It can even resurrect the dead.

>You expect Naruto and Sasuke to be these invincible powerhouses but you get upset about Boruto learning Rasengan and chakra nature without needing Sage mode?
Are you trolling right now? Naruto and Sasuke couldn't do that at Borutos age and at his level of training, none of the prodigies in Naruto's cast were there. Neji was a prodigy for figuring out a Main Clan technique on his own, but he was also a Hyuuga who's natural ability was chakra control due to the Byakugan allowing them to see it, there were reasons he did something like that, and he still wouldn't have been able to scratch Kaguya or Momoshiki, nor Itachi, nor Kakashi. They're prodigies but they're not born god-slayers. Even Naruto had to master the Kyuubi's power with extreme, self-damaging effort, and failed several times before succeeding.
>forgetting that Boruto was trained by his dad and the academy?
It's literally a plot point that his dad didn't train him almost at all other than some minor jutsu and the shadow clone was a big thing for him AND, not to mention that Naruto wasn't training his kid the same way Kakashi was trained or Itachi was trained or even HE trained. The Academy teaches a few basic moves and actions, Sakura went to the academy too, she didn't get her power there.
>the jumpsuit.

1) That's not a jumpsuit, a jumpsuit is a single piece. That is a tracksuit.

Are you genuinely being retarded or what? It's not about him being more powerful, it's about HOW its executed. Prodigy or not, there is no possible way for him to be stronger than Naruto at that point in the story, and they don't even try to address it. Even the Jogan doesn't explain it because as we see with Rock Lee vs Sasuke, a Dojutsu is only as good as its user and their body. Even if Boruto had future sight he physicallyPost too long.

That’s your excuse? You get upset about teen girls wearing racy outfits in a world where little kids are forced to become soldiers and used as science experiments and face death and used as vessels for demonic entities that torture them psychosomatically and you’re worried about them wearing a little too short skirts that aren’t even that risqué?

And those panels you showed of Sarada doing that are outliers.

https://thecartdriver.wordpress.com/2020/02/14/psycho-pass-carole-and-tuesday-and-more-why-anime-features-anti-immigration-elections/

I see a lot of people like in the article’s author, especially leftists, talk about it, and honestly? I’m not seeing it, at all. Maybe because I haven’t been active in the anime fandom for a decade by now (last discourse I got caught up in was the dumb flame war over “elitists” vs “casuals” on MAL), or maybe because I only consoome old (read: 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s) media because I don’t like much of contemporary media, but can’t say with certainty, but I just don’t see it.

Sure, perhaps the proportion of Japanese creators being chuds increased in recent years, but I don’t see that being particularly well-reflected in the current output of the Japanese animation and comic industries. The political messaging of 20th century and early 2000s anime and manga seems to be same as 2020s anime and manga insofar that both are all over the place in equal amounts.

Among “chuddy” anime, I can only think of GATE (literal JSDF propaganda), HighSchool Of The Dead (zombie shounen ecchi horror with big tiddie girls made by a far-right mangaka who hates leftists, supports the JSDF, a gun nut, and hates Koreans), and Frieren (what with the genocided human-like predatory demons being portrayed in deterministic ways in spite of showing signs of actual sapience the story never addresses), but that’s about it.

As for manga, the best I can think of as of late is Drama Queen with many seeing the aliens as allegory for immigrants in Japan, although many can’t decide if they’re supposed to be stand-ins for American/Euro expats, tourists, East Asian renters, SEA and SA migrant workers, Kurdish refugees, or a pastiche of all of them. But that’s like an exception compared to the shit-ton of manga that pushes feminist, anti-racist and other socially progressive themes.

I think it has already been discussed before, but Japan being NPC-topia combined with how being a busherite is deemed as the most acceptable way to express oneself in Japanese politics as opposed to, say, being a Maoist might have a lot to do with why a lot of mangakas seem to be chuds, which is easy as the majority of Japanese people in general are disconnected iPost too long.

It's only cucked if you consider every other japanese citizen part of your identity. (I thought nations were spook and shit ? :V)
They probably are outraged over that one individual that raped someone , but in the end if it's not a friend or a member of your family it's not your problem.


I think most mangakas tend to be right-leaning nowadays because, as others stated, due to dependence on funds from the Cool Japan state initiative, Japanese society’s obsession with harmony at the expense of individual freedom of expression, the NPC-coded hierarchical etiquette ingrained in the language itself, and most of all: Most mangakas then and now are basically either boomercons or petit bourgeois of the least educated nature, as opposed to educated petit bourgeois like Osamu Tezuka. Like, creators such as Hayao Miyazaki tend to engage with the real world, whereas the average mangaka get their inspiration from fanfic and other fiction which makes them more detached from actual people, and the results are there to see.

It’s not entirely “either/or” thing and many exceptions exist, but overall the petit bourgeois will always lean towards reactionary politics, and let’s face it: Most people involved in entertainment are either of the bourgeois or petit bourgeois sorts, so not surprising. Although this you already know.

The only interesting aspect is how much they filter even their domestic politics under the lenses of American culture war slopaganda. Culture brainrot, or a sign that the average Japanese chud wants to be American like all non-Islamic chuds? You decide.

That's a problem with nerdy media and genre fiction in general. A lot of creators have this incestuous mindset where they just fetishize tropes for tropes' sake, because they're fans making things for fellow fans. There's nothing wrong with liking tropes and cool shit and using them in your story, but it's another to just make vapidly consuming tropes for their own sake. If all your art has is "hype moments" or just tropes for tropes' sake, you've made boring fucking art.

Are there any animes about cold war you would recommend? It does not have to be %100 realistic. I just want your ideas. Which one will give the best experience? I would be very happy if you recommend one of them

“The Place Promised in Our Early Days” isn’t exactly about the Cold War, but in an alternate universe where Japan gets divided into a Russian-occupied north and American-occupied south, or kind of.

“Master Keaton” by Naoki Urasawa is a good period anime, although its setting is mostly cold-war era Europe. Monster, by the same author, is technically set after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but much of its story is rooted in the Cold War so I think that counts, and so are 20th century boys and Asadora! albeit the two are centred in Japan compared to the earlier works.

If you just want espionage and spies, then you may like:

I guess there’s Black Lagoon too since many scenes feature flashbacks from the Cold War.

Well, this isn't technically relevant in the strictest sense, but the Bubblegum Crisis OVAs reference the existence of the USSR, which is something that I had always found funny.

Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, and Castro are brought back to life and survive together on a deserted island in a cool training arc. They come back super jacked and start organizing the greatest bank robbery in history to fund a new revolution

There will also be a sequel series where alien capitalists come to earth and our protagonists must fight them in a tournament arc.

There's a beach episode with alunya and grace

The lore in Evangelion doesn’t matter. It’s just a character study with sci-fi window dressing that’s paying self-aware homage to cynical 80s mecha.

It’s like trying to piece together the Twin Peaks lore, you’re missing the point by being a pedant over shit the filmmakers consciously viewed as window dressing. Evangelion is mecha for depressed kids and arthouse weirdos, and that’s fine. That’s what made it unique.

Let it be instead of trying to prove you’re more clever than a depressed autistic guy’s pet therapy project

man PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE FUCKING SHOWERS. Getting hit by waves of STINK and the worst part was it was intermittent like the cloud was bouncing off the walls like the dvd screen saving screens while watching EoE. And people stayed silent throughout. unfortunate!
