So Shikadai is a clone of his father in looks and ability, whose father himself was turned into a clone of his son.
So yes to parallels reinforcing recurring character traits and skills across familial generations, or no to parallels supporting lazy repetitions indicative of unimaginative and unambitious writing?

Justin Russell
Not without the DLC or actual new manga material, which won't happen until 2017
Justin Powell
Do you think Veeky Forums fanfiction keep this general alive until then?
Adrian Evans
It might keep it alive but at the cost of losing everyone that is not interested in that shit.
Brayden Murphy
Tbh I can't see the issue with it. No-one replies to the game summaries anyway.
Nolan Hill
Like three people do every now and then, and there's game talk that springs up every so often.
Julian James
But wouldn't we lose actually everyone if the general died?
Evan Cox
Doesn't sound like that big an issue desu.
Sebastian Reed
Where is PinkShit user when you need him/her?

You need to adopt the mantle, brother. It's the only way to sustain ourselves.

Maybe this can summon him?

Is there anything you thought was canon but turned out to be filler?
Hunter Garcia
Non-team 7 kids showing up before the chunnin exams
Tenten vs Temari
Adam Carter
Also, I thought that the like 5 episodes of Sasuke flashbacks before Naruto vs Sasuke were mostly filler but turned out to be all canon.
David Gonzalez
How different would the story have turned out if Naruto fell for it/Sakura was being sincere?
Gabriel Bailey
>Naruto fell for it, Sakura was not being sincere Bad end, Naruto probably wastes more years chasing Sakura (maybe she even manipulates him into dating her) only to get brutally NTR'd by Sasuke.
>Naruto didn't fall for it, but Sakura was being sincere She might've stopped chasing Sasuke and become a slightly better character, actually? If Naruto had managed to win her affection by being a good guy and she had to choose between Naruto and Sasuke as she had feelings for both of them it could've been interesting. Maybe if she focused on becoming a better person in order to earn Naruto's respect (and hopefully love) after she shat on him so many times she might've become more interesting? I honestly don't see how Kishi would've been able to write it well enough but it could end with Sakura either somehow getting over Sasuke and winning Naruto's affections, or Sakura failing despite flipping the tables and trying to chase after Naruto, and the message would be something like "too little too late, if only you'd gotten over yourself and noticed sooner maybe you could've had what you wanted but now you'll never get it"
Of course this is assuming Naruto thought she was lying when she was being sincere. If Sakura was being sincere and Naruto realized that then yeah maybe they would've gotten together but it would've been even more of a trainwreck to justify than SasuSaku. it might be easy to see how Naruto could win someone's affections. But there would've needed to be a good explanation for why she only began liking him romantically at that time, and why she gave up on liking Sasuke now after all that's happened before without her giving up on it, which would've meant justifying why she liked Sasuke in the first place which is nearly impossible to do.
NaruSaku would've been harder to make satisfactory than even SasuSaku, because at least fans were used to Sakura's character being defined by her retarded devotion to Sasuke and weird mistreatment of Naruto.
Julian Gray
Literally all fillers in the 220 episodes of Naruto
Ayden Baker
Those were a little surprising when I got into the manga.
General rule of thumb: if it's new or super quick, it's canon flashbacks.
Still that's interesting. Were you surprised that the fighting portion inbetween the flashbacks was the actual filler?
I am so sorry, user.
Landon Morales
Do you think Sakura had ill intentions? Or was she just looking out for her friend but, like most 15 year olds do, made an error in judgement

She looks 4ft tall at the most

Blake Cruz
How can they call themselves Job Squad, now that they've beaten the top team? When will they get their real team name? My vote's on Sound 4 Or maybe Akatsuki
Joseph Cook
Dub trips confirm.
They're called Job Squad because I said the name as a joke and they didn't realise I was making a wrestling joke and it stuck
Oliver Nelson
So it confirms them as Sound 4 since they're definitely headed to Orochimaru's lair to be his next set of bodyguards? Or are they starting up Black Zetsu's ambition again?
Jonathan Peterson
Well I can't speak for three of them but I know for a fact that Arata has big keikakus, for many different things.

Don't go leaving on your own now, guy
Jeremiah Morris
Nobody is interested in Naruto to begin with, and if they are, they tend to go to /a/ for the Naruto threads. A general cannot be sustained on a monthly manga, for the most part, and at any rate there's literally nothing of any note whatsoever you can bring up that people haven't already talked to death.
Anthony Jones
We'll see.
He won't make it on his own, he's not even top 3 of Job Squad
Brandon Hernandez

also if sasuke could dispel the other dudes' trance why doesn't he just run up to the fat bitch and dispel her trance so she doesn't allahu akbar herself?

Carter Stewart
Why should he?
Dylan Richardson
They haven't picked their team or individual Bingo Book names or titles yet, but they'll get to that soon.
They're not going to be introduced to Arachimaru until near the end of the campaign, if at all.
Don't sell yourself short. Arata is probably #2 at the moment, due to his range of buffing potions, ability to self-heal, and stack Chakra Enhanced Strength to deal even more damage.
Joseph Mitchell
How is he not number one?
Nicholas King
well he did it to the other guys so why couldn't he have taken the five seconds to run up to her and use the sharingan?????
Thomas Jenkins
Because waniko is the protag I guess
Xavier Sanchez
I'm guessing because in theory Waniko is more broken.
Brandon Brown
>all the villains in nurutu got baby talked into being good guys

Anthony Price
Only the shitty villains did.
Hudson White
Madara didn't, therefore Madara was actually committed towhat he was doing. Kisame didn't either.
Jack Anderson
Because we're not at endgame yet. In a 1v1, Waniko would beat him if she rolled well, and Fugetsu has a wider range of Jutsu to draw from.
Jaxson Campbell
>memedara >good
Daniel Howard
>Waniko >rolling well
All Arata needs is a nat 20 headpat and she's done
Anthony Murphy

Oliver Williams
>the mother of asspulls Stop thinking with your dick
Madara was good in the sense that Aizen was good. Kaguya was bar none the shittiest villain because she appeared out of fucking nowhere and seemed to have no real reasoning behind everything she did and was a poor fight to boot. She might not've pulled a fucking nagato, but the fact that we have no way of understanding or appreciating her intentions, the idea that she never posed a threat in terms of the plot, and that she was never at all built up until shortly before she was used to halt the Madara fight (which made the entire fight extremely unsatisfying, since we still didn't know who would've won), means she was a literal plot device, and a poorly written one at that. Even Saruon's fucking eye is a better plot device, because at least it's been there the entire time.
Hudson Bennett
wtf I love Hinata now

I'm pretty sure everyone knows the term is from wrestling, and assumed it would fit because they assumed the team would be losing a lot. Of course just losing isn't enough to be considered jobbing but people in this thread have no idea what the term actually means.
Yeah but I was referencing the actual Job Squad stable from back in the day
