Post-Filler Character Pics (Possible Minor Spoilers)

[Assertn]

Alright, I decided to make a thread for this, instead of using the countdown one, so you kiddies can discuss and whatnot. Normally I wouldn't support a thread that reference events that haven't yet happened, but since the fillers have been so insanely boring and pro-naruto morale has reached an all time low, I felt I should provide a way to spark some more interest.

That being said, any discussions should be just speculation based on the images. Manga readers should refrain from contributing. And I'll be posting images one at a time so you guys can check them out and discuss and what not. Nobody else should be revealing pictures of characters that I haven't shown yet, and definitely nothing that reveals elements of the upcoming storyline, new character abilities, etc.

POST-FILLER NARUTO (http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/9717/teaser14dd.jpg)

[nests]

Exelent Idea as a manga reader it will be intersting to see what people think i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif I guess thats about all I can say here.

[masamuneehs]

...i don't like the idea of putting manga stuff in the Naruto series section (that's what the friggin Open Discussion and Manga sections are for...) if people are that bored with the filler, they'll go seek out the manga materials on their own... I wonder what woulda happened if I had created a topic like this one...

That being said, naturally I clicked on the link. Not as much change as i'd imagined...

[LobsterMagnet]

Wow, you know things are bad when you have to do this to for a morale boost. Then again between the dub and filler it's getting really really hard to love naruto anymore. God I feel as if my favorite characters are being gang raped by both the USA and Japan. It's getting harder and harder to look back as fondly as I used to sigh. DAMN YOU FILLERS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!! I think that you gotwoot mods should do another no rules wensday so we can get our frustrations out. That was so much fun to just do stupid meaningless posts. Please make it regular occurance it'll make the wait less painful.

[Assertn]

The problem with the open discussion is that there's no protection for anime only viewers there, so they stray away from it. At least this way people can discuss without worrying about catching anything unexpected. And if they don't want to see anything, they can just refrain from clicking the link i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[DarthEnderX]

I like this idea, what the characters look like without any story spoilers. And there's suitable warning for the spoilers.

Naruto looks stupidly exactly the same. A different bright orange jacket. At least it's got some black in it. Thats a step forward I guess.

Looks like he's still a genin to since has no vest.

I can't believe even his hair is the same.It hasn't even grown.

Has his headband always hung loose in the back like that? If not, that's a cool change I guess.

Looks like he still has that thing on his shoulder that I don't know what is it now and I still don't know what it is.

Overall, I say its a mild improvement. But he seriously needs a different hairstyle.

[DeathScytheHCv2]

Jiraiya is gonna train Naruto for 2 or 3 years (I dont remember in wich ep Jiraiya told Naruto this. it was after the Naruto vs Sasuke fight), right? So, how old is Naruto in that picture?

[Terracosmo]

Wow, Darth's post is almost exactly what I wrote when I saw Naruto's new looks the first time.

[Kraco]

So... The sleeves and shoulders are black so that peeping without being noticed is a bit easier. But he still had to stay faitful to the old style and retain some orange.

Though this is not the correct thread, but I can't help but wonder what Kakashi is going to do... He lost all his group: Naruto is getting his training from the old pervert, Sakura from the old granny, and Sasuke hit the road. Could that be called a failure as a teacher..?

16 or 17

[Assertn]

I like his outfit.....the black on his shoulders gives him a little more badass definition
Also, I've always been quite partial to orange i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[DarthEnderX]

It's gotta be the worst color ever for a ninja though. Not that Naruto comprehends stealth anyway. But still.

.

So, how old is Naruto in that picture?

Well, he's 11 at the start of the show I thought. Then the show runs for a year. Then a three year skip. So I say its 14 is my guess.



Wow, Darth's post is almost exactly what I wrote when I saw Naruto's new looks the first time.

I eat your dreams while you sleep.

[XanBcoo]

Naruto was 12 at the start of the show. After the 2.5 year gap, all the Rookie-nine are 15 (except Team Gai, who are all a year older).

Since this is the ONLY part of the manga I had read ahead (the first chapter after the gap), I've already seen Naruto's new look, and I really like it. I didn't expect him to look too different, and I really like all the black that's been added. He also just looks older, which is kinda cool.

[The Heretic Azazel]

He had to be between 13 1/2 and 14 before the 3 year timejump.

[Assertn]

Yeah, right now in the anime all the kids are about 13, while neji, lee, and tenten are about 14

[Deadfire]

Ok I'm confused Can i post links to these pics or can i post them here?.... I like just posting the images but i can do links if i have too

In Till then a link







I like this pic of the new outfit better (http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/300W/fs7.deviantart.com/i/2005/178/6/d/Uzumaki_Naruto___Gyakuten_by_vashperado.jpg)

[Psyke]

From the second pic it looks like Naruto has become the 4th Hokage while Sakura has become the 5th. Cool pics though.

[Assertn]

I was just posting links....but i suppose it doesnt matter as long as it follows the rules i set on the first post.

interesting, haven't seen any post-timejump naruto fanart yet

[chambers]

support the rules NOW GUYS, as much as i respect assertn as one of the none shitty posters on these boards, a topic that contains possible spoilers should be deleted, one that alludes to possibles spilers shoudl be reomved and one that ENCOURAGES people to post spoilers is a loas of bollocks!! delete this now or move it to the open forum!!!

[The Heretic Azazel]

Watch it, I beat up kids in middle school who were such sticklers for the rules.

[Assertn]

Why are you in this topic at all?

This thread is utterly pointless in the Naruto Open Discussion thread, because open discussion is free reign to spoilers of any form. What we have here is spoiler free speculation on upcoming content. Should we have a 4th forum for topics like these?

There's LITERALLY nothing else worth discussing in the Naruto anime forum, so why not cut a little slack? Besides, I've got things under control

I don't quite get this one. Is this what they'll look like or is it just fan art? Or is it something way later when they actually become chuunins?

You have quite the ass fetish man.

It is quite supple though i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

Haha, i was wondering if someone would comment on that. I can't help that those are the best colored/non-colored pictures that kishimoto and the fan-colorers have to offer i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[Kraco]

Hmm... Sakura doesn't look all that different. Perhaps it's because, true to anime traditions, girls often look anyway more mature than boys.

[Terracosmo]

Sakura's ass rules. Her only redeeming factor.

She has real shorts now, compared to the black tights before.

Indeed. Now that you mentioned it, I paid more attention. She looks more professional than before. Though I have been generally keeping a certain distance to all manga spoilers, I think I have heard she will actually do something after the time jump. Perhaps the new outfit reflects that accordingly.

I just wish Konoha ninjas would learn to kill during the time jump...

She's still pretty ugly IMO... something about her face, it just makes my boner wilt...
I want to see what Ino looks like after the jump. That's my kind of woman!

Sakura will probably do alot after the jump, because she'll probably be a pretty decent medic/healer by then. I can see her saving someone's life with those skills (she'll still be totally worthless in combat tho...) and that sort of makes me mad because I want to see some characters killed off, just for the shock value.

I'm actually starting to enjoy this topic, so I'm sorry for the negative tone I voiced earlier.

There is alot out there in fanart/fiction you need to see. I've seen Sakura/Kakashi love storys and art...I kid you not there is a fair bit of it out there

Anyways I can't post some of the ones I've found because of the spoiler content they have so sorry for those crapy images (not really crapy as these artist took alot of time to drawn these)

Yeah. A katana suits Kakashi very well. In general, there haven't been too much sword fight in Naruto. The picture was also otherwise nice, because it almost could have been from the anime, what comes to the style, thus making it a kind of truthful picture of how things will be after the time jump. Although it looks like Naruto and Sakura had only changed their clothes, but hadn't aged at all.

[DarthEnderX]

There is alot out there in fanart/fiction you need to see.

Or I could not since is all fucking stupid.

I agree with Assertn that this thread had to be here. It's supposed to be impressions from people who haven't read the manga. Well, I, like I imagine most people who haven't read the manga, don't even go into the other two Naruto forums, so I'd never see this. If anything, he should just change "possible minor spoilers" to "manga spoilers" in the title. But everything was explained before I clicked the very first links, so I knew exactly what I was having spoiled for me when I started doing this.


As for Sakura

I think that it's great she has a big zero on her back. It's good of her to advertise her value like that!

The only thing that's different is the shorts, but those aren't even shorts. It's like a skirt cut up into strips that are held together by straps. She still wears those black spandex things underneath that she wears now.

Are those seriously the best pics? Man, Kishimoto must be drawing like shit since the jump.

There the best pics for showing and not spoiling too much but I tell you there are better ones specially of Sakura but it will be too much of a spoiler

[Ero-Fan]

I kinda like the post time jump sakura. Is it just me, or did they finally give her a chest? I coulda sworn she was flat as all hell before. Its not much of one, but at least she doesn't look like a little boy with pink hair anymore. Oh, and Naruto is finally taller than Sakura, huh? At least it looks like he taller, so he had to have aged.

[Assertn]

Sakura's hair has a more frayed look now, and she wears boots too. Also, it's hard to tell but naruto's alot taller too.

[DarthEnderX]

I coulda sworn she was flat as all hell before.

She was also 12 as all hell before. Give her a break.

[Ero-Fan]

That doesn't seem to matter much in most anime. I mean, look at how Hinata was in that bug hunt arc. Anyway, my point is from what I've seen of the other characters she is the most undeveloped of the bunch. Christ, she even said in like episode 3 she was below average in those categories besides her forehead. Just comparing her to other females her age in the anime.

[Board of Command]

Wait, you people keep mentioning this "time jump". When does this time jump occur? Isn't there supposed to be another arc or two after the fillers? or do we time jump right after the fillers end and those arcs are all post-time jump?

[Terracosmo]

In the manga, time jumped instantly after that scene where Naruto agrees to train under Jiraiya at the hospital etc.
But the anime takes that chance to add a bunch of fillers, of which we are currently viewing the result.

[XanBcoo]

There's also that short chapter before jump which was shown at the beginning of the Baka Bros. arc (where is shows shikamaru seeing off the sound nins, Lee training w/Gai, etc etc). Of course they left out the part just before he actually leaves to train w/Jiraiya. I thought that was a cool scene and I hope they include it later on.

[Terracosmo]

They must likely will, probably at the very end of the filler arc. i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[mr3vi1m0nk3y]

if they do no one will notice because the filler would have caused everyone eyes to melt by then

[Board of Command]

So how far is the jump? 3 years?

Yes but anyone who enters this topic knows that these details will be revealed, but the whole point of having this thread here and not in open discussion is so OTHER unexpected manga elements don't pop up in conversation.

Hey AssertnFailure you should post a picture of Naruto and Sakura next to one of the Jounins to give people a clue of how much they have actually growned

i think you are going to run out of characters before the fillers end. if you're going to take it this far, just read the manga.

Yes, because pictures of characters in new outfits is so on the same level as knowing the entire storyline and everything thats going to happen.

Yeah, Neji looks like he's trying to look TOO cool. He's like trying to make up for all the dark broodieness that Sasuke's leaving cost them.

I can honestly say though that he looks alot better without those...I don't know what the hell they were, that he was wearing on his head before. It's like he was wearing one of those aviator hats, only without the goggles.

He's gi looking thing is definatly way above his jacket/shorts combo from before.

Overall, I say its a substantial improvement in spite of the emo vibe.

Anyway, post time jump Neji looks a lot more like a killer than Sasuke ever did. Of course, not knowing what Sasuke will look like after the time jump, it's impossible to say...

[DarthEnderX]

I also notice from that pic that Kakashi is exactly the same. But then, I guess he's a grown up and has probably settled on a look for himself.

[Ero-Fan]

Neji definitly looks cooler with the robes. I like that he got rid of that hat thingy DarthEnder was talking about as well. Sakura pregnant; that made me laugh! I forget, how old is Kakashi when the series starts?

[Kraco]

Kakashi's age seems to be told to be 26 here and there over the net. I think that's pretty little considering that he should be a veteran of those long ago wars, which raged before Naruto's generation. Or at least it looks to me like people around Naruto's age didn't see anymore too many full scale wars. But perhaps they lasted until Naruto was something closer to 10 years old. But all in all, I don't remember anything indicating the ninja wars would have been so recent history. Quite the contrary, Tsunade was young when the real wars were waged. And that was 30 years ago.

So, Kakashi was just a kid when he lost his friends in those battles.

[Deadfire]

I'm not sure if someone got a hold of a colored reference or not for neji....i've seen some consistency in the color scheme for him, but if you want to go with exactly how it looked in the manga, deadfire's last example would be the most reliable.

[Terracosmo]

Those colorized Neji pics are just guesses, there is no way for us to know what his clothes will look like until we actually see him in the anime.

Also, when I saw "post-filler" Neji the first time, my Neji fandom leapt a couple of miles. Suffice to say, I love the design.

Nice!!!....that so could be passed off as the real thing. On Neji though he looks more more mature now and more fitting to his charactor. The robes were a nice thing but him fighting with them doesn't seem do-a-ble. I wonder who is the next charactor?

Well, Tenten still looks cute, but based on this it looks like she won't change into any real babe. I wonder how she intends to conquer Neji, who is, on the other hand, turning into a real badass. Although who knows, maybe Neji likes her best the way she is.

Damn! That should be a crime.

[DarthEnderX]

nests sentiment has my concurrance.

[Ero-Fan]

I agree. Of all the current (anime-wise) female genin in konoha, she seems to be the least interested in guys. Except for the "he's cute" comment about Sasuke during the chuunin exam and the way she was staring at Lee while he was training that one time, she seems the least interested in boys. Then again, that could be because Ino, Sakura, and Hinata are obsessive about the boys they like. I take it that scroll is for summoning more weapons for Tenten, huh?

[Rek]

Moegi ain't too interested in boys.

And Neji totally reminds me of Haku

For the Naruto and Sakura pictures, yes, those are the right colors. Kishimoto included his own colored pages that Inane usually includes in the release with theirs. So far, however, its only been Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura. As for Neji, the ones Assertn and Deadfire posted haven't really been confirmed yet. The artist that digitally colors it (mostly people from DeviantArt) usually color it to what they think makes the character look nicer.

EDIT: Whoops...I was on page 4 and I thought that was the last page, lol. Sorry about that.

Sorry not much there

I will make up for it as soon as others show up

*crosses his fingers hoping for Lee next*

[Kraco]

I only wish Lee would get decent clothes instead of that crappy green garb (even though it's purposefully crappy...). Well, I know that's not gonna happen, and maybe it's best that way.

[Assertn]

sorry guys...my internet's been down at the apt since friday...and won't be back up until wednesday....

so you'll have to wait a little for the rest =/

[Board of Command]

This wait is nothing compared to the stretch of fillers.

[DB_Hunter]

I havn't even seen the new eps for the last three weeks...

[FrogKing]

I am hoping for a Shikamaru appearence Assertn....Thanks for the pics. I have been tuning out of the fillers, but it's nice to see some non-spolier pictures to get a taste of what will hopefully be happening someday when the anime gets around to it.

Yeah. Temari might be interesting to see, but on the other hand, she looks very mature already, before the time jump, so I doubt she would change at all. Well, of course clothes could change. In fact, I was never a fan of her clothing, so I think that aspect should change. What comes to Temari and Shikamaru... I think Shikamaru would find it too troublesome to ask Temari out, so it's all up to her.

Heh. I have no idea what's behind the mod edits, but mods do what mods do, so I suppose the mods know...

[Ero-Fan]

Yeah, that mod edit is hilarious. I would like to see Temari or Gaara next personally. That or definitly Lee. I wonder if he got his own look or is still copying off of Gai?

Edit: Oh, now I remember what they had put that the mod blocked out. I was wondering why people were spoiling it for us all w/o the pics even being posted here yet.

[Assertn]

maybe i'll make a batch release on wednesday to make up for the delays

[DarthEnderX]

I actually thought it was odd that Gaara and Temari already got new outfits once in the series, and pretty much nobody else did, except for Sasuke, who gets a new outfit which is cooler than his starting one, but then switches back for no reason I can think of.

[nests]

I dont think you should. besides theres a lot of time before the fillers are over

[XanBcoo]

That always really confused me too. Just before he left Konoha he decided to go back to his old look. Kishimoto shoulda kept his jumpsuit thing w/the bandages on his arms and belt buckles and stuff. That looked really good.

I think you should just keep it one character at a time. That way you can stretch it for longer. It's also more fun to comment on each character as they are posted.

[Ero-Fan]

I think it should stay as one character as well. Gotta stretch this out till April. Also, when did Temari get a new outfit? I thought she was still wearing the same getup. If she did, what episode # was that? I gotta go back and look.

[KoKo37]

hmmm well imo neji just looks gay in pink shirt lol, anyways heres the Inane verion of Neji i think it looks better in this pic imo and probally is waht he'll look in the anime XD.. ( i hope -.- lol ) also lee dont look much different but still looks better with vest XD

W00t Team Gai~~! (http://img408.imageshack.us/my.php?image=narutoch253p2021special6bw.jpg)


OmG Ub3r Ed][t : err wait the bottom part of it says Kishimoto n Ryuoken so maybe its not just from Inane O.o lol

[Kraco]

Lee looks like a younger clone of Gai. I don't really expect much will change with him, since he can't use anything but taijutsu. He can only get better at that, not get any fancy new techniques. And his personality doesn't really show much promise of serious development.

I still think Neji looks uber cool and badass, in a detached, disinterested way. I bet Konoha could get better payments if Neji was present when they negotiate prices with customers. And Tenten looks very cute, even if she's not interested in boys...

[nests]

Lee is freaking tall

[DarthEnderX]

I'm wondering if Lee is just trying to look more like Gai or if that's actually a Chuunin vest.

If it is a Chuunin vest then all I have to say is...

Haha! Lee is ahead of Neji!

[Kraco]

I don't think Neji would wear that sort of vest even if he became chuunin. It wouldn't really fit well with his clothing style, the style of the whole clan.

[Terracosmo]

Neji would never wear a chuunin vest. Also, I can't stress enough how amazingly cool he looks i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif

[naruto=pwnage]

the gang made it to chuunin level eh? I haven't gotten past tsunade healing lee yet. I'm still downloading.(I'm on episode 101)

[Assassin]

the only chuunin so far is shikamaru. everyone else wasn't smart enough.

btw, stop right there. dont go beyond ep 101 and you mite still like naruto come april.

[DB_Hunter]

It doesn't look as though Ten-Ten is past Genin...

So then hardwork does pay off over sheer talent... Or maybe Neji realized that the vest would clash with his style? He looks pretty damn awesome in his new outfit.

And I think ten-ten would have to make a shit ton of improvements to get to Chuunin level. She is great with projectile weapons, and has that Bo-staff, but she just doesn't seem to be a well-balanced ninja yet. No evidence of her having any skills with magic, genjutsu, stealth or strategy yet... Doesn't strike me as a good leader or anything either...

But I would honestly be shocked if Lee got to Chuunin before Neji. Shikamaru got promoted because he's smart, sensible and always keeps a cool head. Neji may not be as smart or charismatic (calling Shikamaru charismatic seems to be the wrong use of the word...) but he is a pretty advanced fighter, keeps a level head and has that 'leader mentality. Rock Lee.... sure he's full of dynamic energy and Springtime of Youth and all that crap.. but that seems to be a flaw as far as a superior level is concerned.

[XanBcoo]

I'm kinda disappointed Lee hasn't developed his own style by now. I had kinda hoped he would grow his hair out like he used to have it (not the braided style, the other one).

[DayoftheDante]

It wouldn't make sense to promote Lee as a squad leader. When has he taken up leadership or planned out his attacks like Shikamaru?

[DarthEnderX]

Eventually somebody has to get promoted on the basis of just power, otherwise the village wouldn't be full of high level ninjas with crippling social disorders.

I mean, look at Kakashi. This is like his first team he's ever trained and the whole thing has imploded on him, and he doesn't even bother anymore. Not much of a leader if you ask me.

[Kraco]

Well, to be fair, I think Kakashi got pretty troublesome source material: One guy who had devoted his life to revenge and nothing else, one complete moron, and one good for nothing chick.

However, I have to agree with you on one thing: Kakashi doesn't bother anymore. Actually already during the Chuunin exam he pretty much forgot Naruto and Sakura. Ironically Kakashi's disinterest in training anyone but Sasuke actually got the two remaining members possibly even better masters...

Although I hoped you would have posted him together with Temari. (Not a wedding pic - that would have been a spoiler...)

[XanBcoo]

WEWT Shikamaru is a Jounin! Awesome. Looks pretty much the same though, but I wasn't expecting him to look much different.

That jacket looks fitting on him.

[mage]

he's been wearing that vest ever since he became a chuunin. what makes you think he's a jounin?

Balls, you're right. I got excited 'cause he looked like he dresses like Kakashi now and looks a little more badass and official and stuff. Looking back though, it is the same vest.

[DB_Hunter]

Well his clothing is now all one colour, as opposed to before.

[Kensee]

Just traveling back a bit (sorry I was late) but if you look at the Huuga clan's junion, they use robes not vests (check Hinita's father). So no matter what Rank neji is, I believe he'd use a robe as well.

And Rock Lee idolizes Guy, he will grow up to be exactly like him. Hrm ... wonder if Lee looks at Neji the way Guy looks at kakashi?

Shika will gorw up looking like daddy, which would be a good look for him.

[DayoftheDante]

In terms of the Gai/Kakashi rivalry, I think Lee had his sights set on Sasuke. But he's a little out of Lee's league now.

[Ero-Fan]

Can't have a rivalry with someone who isn't there. Besides, I think Naruto had a claim on a Sasuke rivalry before Lee ever did. I wonder who will be next...(C'mon, someone from sand)

Chouji looks a lot like his father. I never got why a ninja would wear a samurai get-up though. Oh well, its an improvement over his diaper hat.

[Assertn]

I think he looks pretty badass.

If you know you're not agile, then go for armor over stealth

[KoKo37]

Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

yes indeed he looks pretty cool XD, although personly i liked his hair before XD. ( Not his diaper hat as Ero pointed out lol just his hair due XD ) and also the armour suits him well XD

[masamuneehs]

dude, chouji looks excellent!

as for the samurai armor on a ninja thing... obviously Chouji isn't very fast. obviously stealth isn't his forte.

So the big guy might as well go for brute strength and maximize his defense by strapping on some armor!

Honestly I have always sorta been waiting for Naruto (the show) to pay more respect to the tools/materials they use. Nobody (at least very few) sports a "Hitori Hanzo" katana or armor made out of any really rare material. I mean, we had Aoi (Tea Country Amazing Race Filler Arc) boasting about his Raijin Sword and Oro's sword seems pretty unique, along with the Akatsuki rings, but thats really about as much as I can remember seeing a Naruto character emphasize the importance of good equipment... I mean, jutsu and stealth are all good and all (and that's part of what I love so much about Naruto) but goddamn if my sword is better made than yours I am probably going to cut yours into scrap... (granted i have any ability.)

ok, mini rant over. Chouji looks pretty damn cool. Speed is overrated anyhow in anime. Go big guy go!

[kooshi]

I agree with Masamuneehs how ninjas should have more variety in their weapons. Hell, I've seen so many Naruto wallpapers with him holding a sword/katana, yet he hasn't used one yet.

[XanBcoo]

Wow...Chouji is no longer a hated loser.

He looks awesome. I love how they made him look like his dad.

[DarthEnderX]

Awsome.

I mean, I think he has TOO much hair, but thank god the underpants bandana is gone.

[nests]

surpriced to see that people actually like his new look I myself did also like it but I didnt think other people would
one question AssertnFailure are you going to post pics of new characters or just the old ones

[Assertn]

If by new characters you mean characters that haven't yet been introduced....no. Only the main group of kids that have been part of the series since the chuunin exam

[nests]

Ok cool I was just wondering

[Kraco]

He doesn't look bad at all. A lot better than before, like so many have said already. Seems like he's ready to kick some ass. And XanBcoo is absolutely right: He looks a lot like his dad. Well, Shikamaru is his best friend, who also tends to look like his father, so it makes sense...

AssertnFailure, maybe you could post a female character next, just for a change?

[Ero-Fan]

Damn, I want to see one of the sand ninja next, but I think I found Assertn's pattern. Next character will probably be Ino. That should finish out Shikamaru's group. Next group after that will probably be from Kiba/Shino/Hinata's group. Am I right? Damn, I hope I'm wrong....

[Assertn]

Originally posted by: Kraco

what? So far i've posted Naruto, Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, and Chouji of the guys, and Sakura and Tenten of the girls. That's a higher girl:guy ratio than is in the actual series itself i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Oh... Point taken. I didn't consider the ratio.

[Ero-Fan]

Normally, yeah, I would want sand to be last. Personally, I have two reasons: 1. I just started reading the manga from the begining and I'm almost to the Kakashi Gaiden part. 2. I thought that Temari and Kankarou were older than everyone else, so I don't know if they'll change or not. Hopefully they do, I'd like to see them change somehow, but it doesn't matter to the rest of you, so who cares, right?
Either way, I'll enjoy whatever you post while I'm bored at work.

[DarthEnderX]

Well, to be honestly, I actually don't think Chouji's outfit is an improvement. I loved that hawaiian-shit-with-nothing-on-it he wore. But the lack of the underpants bandana is such a HUGE improvement that it makes the overall look still a shift in the positive.

I just wish he could look like he did when he ate the red pill all the time.

Shikamaru looks exactly the same

Lee looks EXACTLY the same
And Haku-er-I mean Neji also looks too simular.

Folks, this is THREE years! This is going from 12 to 15! Look at yourself when you were in grade six, then look at yourself in grade 9! HUGE DIFFERENCE. *sigh* I'm very disapointed..

[Kraco]

Well, these people all looked older than 12 already, in my opinion. So in that sense the change doesn't need to be so huge.

A step in the right direction, but she needs less opaque and more fishnet.

Edit @ Assertn: Hey, you cheated! That's more than one character.. i/expressions/devil.gif

[Kraco]

Hasn't the Closet Pervert been Konohamaru's teacher already for a long time? Seems likely he would continue doing that, especially after Naruto taught sexy no jutsu to the whole bunch.

I suppose they have grown a bit. Certainly Konohamaru looks a bit more mature in the first pic. Unless it's just that pic.

[XanBcoo]

Well, he does look a bit older, but I wasn't exactly expecting much. So cool.

[BioAlien]

they didn't change much... im sure ebisu want them to be in sexy jutsu when he is teaching them ^^

[Ero-Fan]

He probably does, but he's too much of a closet pervert to admit it. That's his downfall. Just like the third. They should all be open and proud of it like Jiriya and it wouldn't screw them up so much.

[masamuneehs]

Oh Konohamaru! He looks... spookilly like Naruto...
And his little snot dripping friend who likes long divisions (with the glasses, what the fuck is his name?) is like a little Kabuto .... minus the coolness.

Ebisu! Clost pervert might be one of the minor characters i am most interested in. What exactly makes the guy such a renowned teacher? What kind of special skills does the guy have anyhow?

[DarthEnderX]

I guess Kon looks alot cooler there. Though, its pictures like that that really make me question why people say Kishimoto's drawing is so great. Those pictures are just awful.

[Assertn]

Huh? not only are those snippets taken from 1/6-1/4 of a page, but there's nothing really wrong with them. Unless you're more of a grayscale kinda guy.

[XanBcoo]

I wonder if Konohamaru buys a new oversized scarf each time he has a growth-spurt.

And yeah, there's nothing wrong with those drawings. They look fine to me.

[DarthEnderX]

Huh? not only are those snippets taken from 1/6-1/4 of a page, but there's nothing really wrong with them. Unless you're more of a grayscale kinda guy.

Well, one of the things manga readers are always telling me why I should read the manga is because the artwork is supposedly better. And while I certainly couldn't draw pictures that good, I have to say that even on bad days, still frames of the anime are better drawn than those pictures. So that leads me to believe that either most of the pics in this thread are bad examples of the manga, or manga readers are blind.

[Ero-Fan]

Hell, I read the manga and watch the anime. While I perfer the anime, the manga holds me over till fillers are done. I think its hard to compare a manga to an animated series. How much you want to bet they already started on work of the post-time jump anime? They have all this time to clean up their artwork. Thats why this filler arc is done by the cheapest animation team they could find. The manga is put out every week (I think), so they only get a couple of days to edit it before it comes out. Really not a fair comparison imo.

[Assertn]

Well then DarthEnder...I have to ask...

Have you ever read manga of any kind before?

[DarthEnderX]

Yes. But not alot.

Post-Filler Kiba (http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/4567/kiba6ed.jpg)

[Ero-Fan]

Nice! I guess Akamaru can't ride around in Kiba's jacket or on top of his head anymore. I also like how he got rid of his hoodie for something better. Is his clothing actually black, I wonder? Still, an improvement none the less.
Edit: A big white dog kinda defeats the purpose of sneaking around, though. Doesn't it?

[XanBcoo]

Aahh! Akamaru is huge. That's awesome. It's amazing such a little puppy grew so much in 3 years. Definitely gives Kiba a more imposing image.

Imagine Akamaru with a soldier pill now!

[masamuneehs]

Sweet. Akamaru is probably better than Kiba at this point (always was smarter, even as a puppy...). Kiba was always pretty cool. I liked the hoody, but found it sorta ironic that a clan with animal attachments wore fur so much.

[DarthEnderX]

That is definatly a lightyears improvement. That jacket is so much better than his stupid hoodie jacket. And of course Akamaru is looking more ferocious.

[DB_Hunter]

Akamaru's tongue still makes him look as if though he still has to grow somewhat.

[Kraco]

Now this is a real change for the better. Of course it's natural for the hound to get bigger, but nonetheless this is one of the best changes seen so far with the characters. Can't say I ever cared for Kiba that much, but I didn't dislike him either. Good to see he's apparently doing well.

Well, one might argue that since they all follow dogs/wolves, who are predators, wearing the furs of their prey isnt going against nature, but embracing their predatorialness(if thats a word). that is, of course, assuming that its like rabbit fur, not wolf fur.

This thread is utterly pointless in the Naruto Open Discussion thread, because open discussion is free reign to spoilers of any form. What we have here is spoiler free speculation on upcoming content. Should we have a 4th forum for topics like these?

There's LITERALLY nothing else worth discussing in the Naruto anime forum, so why not cut a little slack? Besides, I've got things under control

[Jadugar]

@ AssertnFailure : So what you are saying is as long as its a thread made by you which is clearly labelled "minor spoilers" in an anime only section is alright but no else can do it. So much for the rules. Let me guess you are above all rules.

[Kraco]

Don't be envious, Jadugar. Just try to enjoy it like everybody else. AssertnFailure just got the idea first, and did it first. So far there have been no story spoilers, new character spoilers, new power/ability spoilers. Whilst technically this might have belonged to some other forum, but these forums shouldn't be about worshipping the rules but increasing the enjoyment of anime / spreading knowledge.

If something is not broken, there shouldn't be attempts to repair it.

One thing about Kiba though, when he and Akamaru do beast-human transformation jutsu, would Akamaru shrink and turn into kiba, like he grew and turned into kiba post becomming huge, or would Kiba grow and turn into akamaru!

[Kraco]

Heh. A good point. I have to say Akamaru does look a bit more dangerous in that pic than Kiba, unlike right now when Akamaru is such a puppy. But most likely Akamaru still chages with that particular jutsu. If it was the other way, it would probably be a different technique. Not a bad one, though.

[DarthEnderX]

AssF is also a mod, so yes, he is above the rules.

[Assertn]

The important thing is to do what's in the best interest for the community, so stfu jadugar i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

That reminds me doesnt that jutsu require Akamaru getting on top of Kiba. Seeing how big Akamaru is now maybe they will switch places.

I am thinking why dont the merge into one another and turn into a "manimal".

Its one thing being a mod and another being an ....hole.

Heh. That would actually make a really nice comedic piece: Akamaru jumping on top of Kiba for that jutsu, and the weight causing Kiba to crash down, face first to eat dust.

Excuse me? Who's the one crashing the party? Besides, you're a manga reader anyway.

Wow, once again, here I am reading a topic and all of a sudden it turns into Jadugar vs. Some other user (Another thread deviating into 1-on-1 bitching (http://forums.gotwoot.net/messageview.cfm?catid=67&threadid=16975&enterthrea d=y)) and i can't help but wonder if this man is having his time of the month or what exactly it is... No, I do not enjoy moderator priveliges or any special status at the forums, but I think I speak for the majority when I say "take the flames to the Private Messages, we don't need this shit!". Seriously, how these exchanges apply to the content of this thread is dubious, at best.

I've been hoping that Kiba develops this sort of ability. After seeing all the 2nd Levels of the Cursed Seal releases I was thinking that Kiba's clan would have the best chance of legitimatley possessing some kind of "Demi-Human" jutsu that would be a full combo of Man and Animal. I mean, Kiba tends to fight like a beast anyhow, so giving the guy fangs, claws and a tail would make him that much nastier.

[KitKat]

About the 'does this belong here' dispute: I don't see what there is to be concerned about here. It's just pictures of their new outfits. It's not like seeing Naruto's new jumpsuit will spoil a major part of the story. With the anime being as boring as it is at the moment, I'm quite enjoying this topic, since it reminds me that there's something good to look forward to. If it was in open discussion, I wouldn't even be reading it since I don't dare go there for fear of bigger spoilers.

Jadugar had it all. He had a nice banner, a moderately high post count, hell, even had sex with Terra once.

Then he posted this.

WTF dude!

True. Kiba clan must have some trump card up their sleeve.



@ masamuneehs : I will tell you what I dont like. Some mf telling me to take it to pm. I just asked Assertn a reasonable question becuase he made this thread and because he is a mod. I dont want you to stick you dick out and start masterbating everytime I have a 1-on-1 so called bitching. You dont like reading my posts then skip, simple as that.

you know what I dont like? You continuing to ignore the rules that you're bitching about. Masamuneehs has a valid point. If you have a problem with assertn's thread, pm him about it. It may not have been bitching before, but it certainly is now.

And for the record, if any of the mods thought that this thread was breaking the rules, it would have been locked, and the user warned. We all know assertn is quite capable of keeping it spoiler free, so theres no need to ruin everyones enjoyment.
