LOL, This is always the disappointment from those narutards. They always present the most ridicule fallacy argument to support Naruto that they are just only humiliating themselves further.E.g in response to 588, I use an case to explain his bull logic in another way :
1) Car is faster and better than Bicycle
2) However I like to drive car and bicycle
3) Therefore I didn't think riding a bicycle suck, even if it is the slowest transport compared to others or I will be knocked down by other "big" transport in the road, bicycle is still an awesome vehicle better than car.
No wonder this new generation of kids raised on shitty anime like Naruto has horrible aptitude and no artistic talent.Like Lee vs Gaara in the Chunin exam as mention early as "best" battle, in it anime scene where Lee "fly" around Gaara, his arms look like toothpicks and his face looks like it was flattend with a steam roller,and as Lee went into his eight chakra gates,he look as if he is going into super saiyan mode and your called this best battle ?!
Similar, just like what 557 mention, the fighting between Gaara and Kimimaro was obviously copy from other work.Although I am an American who didn't understand the words from the link 557 provided, but the picture already spoken the truth. This is NOT CALLED BEST BATTLE, it is called PLAGIARISM or art swiping whatever. This does remind me that previously, Nick Simmons, son of Gene Simmons from rock band KISS was accused of plagiarizing his comic series Incarnate from the Bleach series and at least his publisher Radical Comics had the integrity to apologize for Nick 's swiping and stop the issuing of Incarnate, but not in Naruto 's case of course.
For Kishi 's case, he should be very thankfully that art swiping is not considered "illegal" because either the manga industry didn't care or it not worth the trouble and money to pursue the matter. However it would difference if the original artist choose to take legal action against the plagiarist. One best example would be Yuki Suetsugu who plagiarizing her basketball manga from slam dunk and after the charges toward her is known, her work is forced to cancel.Would Kishi 's work ever be any better than the original if the art and plot weren't even HIS IDEAS or more correctly how long is he going to keep introducing his original idea of adding many characters' sad pasts in Naruto for you to read before you discovered that your mind is going to explode ? ? ?
Finally what so special between the fight between Naruto and Sasgay in the valley of death ? Where is Naruto signature move Mult-Shadow Clones techniques which he use to defeat Gaara during the Chunin exam? Why didn't he use it during the death valley to stop sasgay as well or is naruto fans too ignorantly or just another mindless parasite who can't see the point of an good battle ? And when sasgay wear his headband and said he will fight as an ninja with Naruto, isn't ninja supposed fight in stealth instead of an declared duel ? Naruto vs Sasgay battle look more like 2 stray cats fighting in my neighborhood 's backyard which is more interesting than in the manga or anime.
Compared One Piece battle with the valley of death arc, Luffy always placed 100% of his effort for a fight and even when time he is beaten by powerfully enemies like Magellan the poison warden, he still managed to save some many peoples that I cant count them all and at least he even saved one of his nakama or friends and deserved an clap for that whereby this is some simple thing that Naruto cant do. Not forget to mention that Naruto is just an whiney little bastard who always depend on his sidekick like Kakashi and his foxy demon inside him to help him clear way for his victory. Without these "extras" he would have been dead many numerous times even before in the death valley where he get stabbed by Sasgay 's Chidori.
In conclusion, Naruto is just another second rate manga that are only best in selling dolls and coffins.For those narutards who rebuked that let see if you can come up with better manga like Naruto, I can only said your should pass this comment to Kishi himself since if he didn't traced on some of the work of others in blatant fashion to build his own work, I guess he is just another incredibly amateur artist and writer. Normally I will rather read Marvel or DC comic in Comic Vine or Comic Book Resources (CBR)and there will always be more deep insight and fresh update from these comic publishers rather than waste time on Naruto since even the basic right attitude wouldn't happen in the story : The main character should stop taking pride in being stupid, it's suck and embarrassing !
