431- Of Giant Rhinos, Rasengans and Toads

Giant Rhinos, Rasengans and Toads, Garuto, and the Counterattack of Pain

Giants!
What could be Naruto’s weakness now? He has owned giant rhinos and produced giant rasengans with the help of his giant toads all in one manga chapter 431.

Garuto
The sage Naruto is now a God-like Naruto. A totally hacked version. God Naruto = Garuto. He has totally shown how weak Pain was and got him asking, “His blows were not deflected?? Hax!!” He has owned Konoha but is now reduced to Garuto’s punching bag. Naruto can sense other people’s chakra which he can fight with his eyes closed. He is now iron-skinned. And most of all, he has a new skill to show in the next chapter Naruto 432.

Pain’s Counterattack

Okay, so Naruto is owning on this chapter which could be the best filler chapter so far with all the fight scenes and Pain getting beat. Everyone’s been cheering about how Naruto killed not one but two Pain bodies. But, note. These are just mere “puppets” and the real one manipulating them – Nagato - could be hidden somewhere. Prepare for Pain’s revenge and counterattack.

Take the poll, what do you think?

Kisame arrives with message from Madara to STOP the fight and announces that the Eigth-tail Hachibi needs to be acquired yet before Naruto. Pain and his team retreats. Naruto enrages kills Pain wherein Kakashi interecepts to tell stop Naruto and reveal that Pain is the brother of Naruto.

The Naruto Cape – A Yondaime Copy

Naruto Cape Designed like Yondaime’s

While every Naruto fan out there is clamoring for the next episode Naruto 431 and hoping that there are spoilers or predictions that would circulate the net, I am thinking of going back to Naruto 430 and figuring out something I might miss.

Well certainly the first thing that attracts attention in Naruto 430 is the cape Naruto is wearing. It should be tagged as the Naruto Cape but what the heck! The design is exactly from Naruto’s father’s (Yondaime) cape design.

Naruto's Cape Design is just like Yondaime's

The whiteness of the Fourth Hokage’s cape is changed into the blackness of Naruto’s cape. But still I believe the Fourth’s is very nice to look at. Well, I love white anyway. I’m biased. :p

Also, observe that there are characters at the back of the Fourth’s cape but Naruto does not have any of it on his cape. Naruto forgot to have it printed? Lewl. Maybe I should not stress out on this and just trust on Kishimoto’s purposes.

Well, Naruto is easily becoming a chip of the old block. I am looking forward to the day he becomes Hokage too.

Naruto 430: Naruto Returns – Summary

Naruto 430: Naruto Returns The BEST chapter of 2008

“Naruto 430: Naruto’s Return” is probably the best Naruto chapter for the year 2008. It ended with a bang with the destruction of Konoha from the previous chapter and now leaves the readers hanging on to their seats for the next issue.

Summary taken from here and found below:

• Naruto goes back to Konoha, but doesn’t recognize the village due to all the destruction.
• Iruka, Shikaku, Shikamaru, Choza, Choji, Inoichi, and Ino are all still alive. However, Konoha still doesn’t know if Kakashi is alive or dead.
• Hiashi, Hinata’s father, is away from Konoha, possibly on patrol.
• Tsunade now gives her remaining chakra to Katsuyu so she can help the rest of the wounded villagers.
• The mark on her forehead is now gone.
• Enma, hell realm Pain’s monster, eats demon realm Pain, who then comes back to life. It is possible that hell realm Pain is the one who can bring the dead Pain bodies back to life.
• It appears gathering all the chakra of the six bodies into god realm Pain was risky.
• Konan: I can treat you.
• Demon realm Pain goes after Tsunade but is killed instantly by Naruto. Sakura and Hinata are watching from a short distance away.
• Sakura: He’s amazing!
• He is wearing a cape, resembling the Fourth Hokage.
• God realm Pain: You’ve saved me a lot of trouble searching.
• Naruto: Let’s end this once and for all.

Closer Lyrics (Naruto Shippuden) – English

I have posted the Romanji lyrics to “Closer” with the video on my previous post. Below is the English translation to “Closer” by Inoue Joe. Cheers.

You’ve gotta be extra careful with
The things that are close and dearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
Explain to me all my happiness
That you just experienced by my side
Or maybe you’re so blessed in ways that
You can’t even remember it all
That you are standing here with me
That you live and breathe and see and feel
They’re all little miracles and wonder
Just by themselves.
You’ve gotta be extra careful with
The things that are close and dearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
And I’ll never take it for granted
It’s fine to say “Never give up”
Say “Keep chasing your dreams on
But the more time you spend talking big
The less you get done with life
I’ll let that handful of courage in my heart
Help me survive another day
And I’ll never take it for granted
Let’s go!

Naruto = Dragonball?

Oochan was assuring me (or rather predicting) that our favorite Naruto manga will not end as abruptly as we might think. He mentioned that since Naruto = Dragonball it will have the same fate as Akira Toriyama’s Dragonball where Masashi Kishimoto had the most influence on. And that is, it still has sequels that we can look forward to.

Well, if you would come to look at it, Naruto and Goku do look similar don’t they? Hmmm..
