the point of naruto transforming into a fox is that its the actual "demon fox".....which has 9 tails.....
its hard to see where the tails are in the manga cause you dont get a good view, but it would be pretty dumb to try to pull off a very symbollic event like this henge and then just barely miss the nail by making them transform into "just some regular fox"
Kishimoto shouldve gone with 1tail, subconciously it will give false impression that was the actual ninetails. Theoretically, in our my minds we will compare Gamabunta henge version of ninetails power to Shukaku or for future reference.
1) when most people read the manga, im sure the first thing that came to their minds was that it WAS KYUBI....and that didnt really cause any confusion

2) to make it just a normal fox would ruin the type of reaction that im sure kishimoto had intended the viewers to have

3) henge is a ninjutsu, not genjutsu.....if gamabunta has kyubi's form, and naruto has kyubi's chakra.....then for all we know, the henge couldve resulted in a creature JUST as strong as kyubi
Im not saying your wrong , your right in certain aspect but you cant deny your post solidfied my statement .I understand their intentions to use ninetail fox .But for us at subconcious lvl we are going to tease ourselves thinking its the actual Ninetails. Yes we read the manga and yes we know its henge but our minds will lead us to compare its Gamabunta henge version to the real Kyubbi. And clear as clear can be Naruto and Kyyubi are different characters not the one and the same or else you are as ignorant as the konoha villagers .

btw its Naruto's vision of the Kyyubi and Gamabunta's chakra was used to transform. And we know Gamabunta chakra doesnt equal to kyyubi and for argument sake, Naruto's chakra doesnt equal with the actual thing (not even close), hes only uses portion of it. But we cant help ourselves but to compare and think to ourselves maybe it was possible that was the real thing that is why i think who animated the episode should've stuck with the manga. Cuz I believe it will downplay the kyyubi and will hurt certain aspect of it when time progresses. thats just my onpinion but iim sure alot of ppl prefer 9tails.
