When did the series jump the shark?
Naruto
Madara meteorite spam
Here
sasuga kishimoto
When Sasuke sprouted flesh wings I pretty much noped out of the entire series
I haven't seen a single piece of evidence that's made me want to come back to it since
How would you rewrite the sharingan?
How powerfull would you made it?
Sasuke vs Itachi was peak ninja combat until Itachi pulled out Susano
Susano is merely a colossal amount of chakra manifested in physical form
It was logical and expectable, nothing of asspull
Land of Waves arc, and little more. Tools and tactics should be the rule, with ninjutsu covering some of the rest.
Pic should be a versatile and dangerous weapon that actually gets kills.
Perhaps not big as a mountain.
>Susano is merely a colossal amount of chakra manifested in physical form
If this is the sort of thing chakra can do, there really need to be more anti-chakra countermeasures. Fucking ridiculous that the only thing we see to deal with it is a clan's dojutsu
It was bad from chapter 1 and it never got better.

didn't sasuke jobbed to a kunai in boruto?
Boruto is far too late.
a lot of these giant explosion jutsu are pure bullshit and uncreative as shit, fights like orochimaru vs sasuke in the forest during chunin exams were showing quick reflexes and tactics used to overwhelm the opponent when rock lee and gaara showed up it completely changed the meta and got retarded with who blasts the biggest AoE attack
Rock Lee v Gaara works if it's only an exaggeration of how they look to other genin, or if Gaara's sand tricks remain the exception.
When it became all about bringing Sasuke back.
Why was the 8th gate so much stronger than 7th gate?
Member this?
Member Naruto is literally a dozen layers of op "chosen one" MC?
Member Rock Lee? Member how his greatest development was getting drunk?
So much of this work was hypocritical, contradictory and/or squandered potential. It reels you in with the promise of an uplifting tale of underdogs overcoming adversity but delivers the exact opposite.
Whats even worse is the fact that in place of character growth all you get is power creep. And thats only for a hand full of characters and most of those only go through a single instance of it.
The only thing notable about this series is the period of time in which the Anime came out. The demand for content was high and the supply for content, much less quality content was very low. This is the period when you could ask any anime fan anywhere in the world what anime you should watch and you would invaribly get the same answer. Well that and the fact that the fight animation and choreography is probably one of, if not the single best example in the industry for some reason.
How're you a ninja with a big fucking mouth like that
Copying jutsus and precognition are fine. Amaterasu is fine. Hell, even Susano is fine, at least it's first stage. Anything that goes above that is fucking retarded. No giant kaijus, no reality warping horseshit and no portal shenanigans.
