Why did Naruto had so many cool powers compared to nowadays shounen? Why does the jutsu system still stands out and still pretty interesting?

Ninjas farting out fireballs and punching with energy dragons was a long time established thing present in folklore and lot of 70's movies. Kishimoto just took the concept and refined it to shounen standards of the time

Electricity powers are bog standard. You'd be hard pressed to choose a worse example for your OP image.

It's just nippon battle wizards, nigga. That's it. It gives you a lot of flexibility but also allows for a metric fuckton of bullshittery and can be hard to write for if you want to keep your story consistent. Being focused on some very particular skillset makes for easier writing which is what you get with most garbage currently out.

There, happy now. Fighting with puppets is a cool concept you don't see much in this medium.

Still more cool than your favorite manga.

Jutsu is vague enough that every new appearance characters could show up with a new power and have it be explained by a mysterious combination of hand seals + their elemental nature + super secret family techniques.
Compare to dragonball in which Kishimoto never actually explained how ki works, and every character has generic ki blasts and then one special ki blast that is a little different.

It had the potential to be good but the sad realiy is that shitty sharingan eye hax and uchiha wank made most of it futile

Also painting, flute, shadows, literal snakes

Not really
keep coping

Some mangaka just have more original ideas

Uchihas basically carried this manga

>There, happy now.
No, because Naruto is irredeemable trash. I miss the days when it was banned
>Fighting with puppets is a cool concept you don't see much in this medium.
It's a fairly common ninja trope.

ruined this manga*
ftfy

This but also general power creep. Some early Naruto fights are genuinely good, later only a few characters matter and Naruto's techniques are some of the least interesting ones.

Yet somehow DB also has one of the most interestingly restricted time stop powers. A shame it was wasted on some shitter.

Kek. Why are all naruto haters bitter and sad boomers.

Explain why you think Naruto is any good without mentioning abilities or fights.
>Puppet master
I shouldn't be surprised that a Narutard is illiterate.
>Literally who. No one but you know this. Absolutely irrelevant.
It's also a trash anime, but that's beside the point of illustrating that using puppets for fighting is a common thing. So it is relevant.

Wtf is Sakura doing there?
