[yoshua171]

Yup yup, she might pay for that :P

[Yog Sothoth]

just a reminder to you all, in Naruto, titles and claims of superiority don't always become true lol!

Tis true.

[Savato]

Naraka path.

The least capable offensively and defensively of the bunch. All it did was heal and fail at being better at interrogating than Human path.

Lol.

[SoleAccord]

Kinda spoiling this for chukkle given he's not even met Kakuzu and Hidan yet ... but let's be real that kill was hella plot shield.

Will say this, though: Kakuzu and Hidan is my favorite arc in the series.

if you claim to be God then you should wipe the floor with anyone that gets in your way. Nagato would have been better off absorbing the power of a strong shinobi and reviving himself because then he would have had all of the abilities of the six paths of pain, and probably would have easily defeated Naruto.

[SoleAccord]

Except Pain did beat anyone who got in his way. Naruto's a broken character and gets second chances in fights all the time, he hasn't lost a fight since part 1 against Sasuke, Kishimoto just made him a god and someone who can convince anyone they're wrong with a 5 minute heart to heart. Everyone and everything in part 1 was much more interesting and technical, and didn't always come down to who had the biggest attack or broken KG. Naruto lost to Deva Path but nope second chance.

RIP Part 1, Golden Age is dead.

I get what you mean, but part 2 had the best characters hands down in my opinion. I loved how Kishimoto characterized the Akataski and expanded the universe. As for second chances, this is a Shonen jump anime, that is pretty standard for the popular series, I mean look at Goku, he's always dying and coming back to life and then finds some way to achieve enough power to beat the villain.

[SoleAccord]

Goku only died twice, and unlike Naruto can't regenerate holes in his chest or talk to the mom and dad he never knew in convenient 'plot twists'. He also never really killed a villain in DBZ canon. Raditz was killed by Piccolo, Nappa by Vegeta, Vegeta was allowed to live. He killed no one in the Ginyu Force, didn't manage to kill Frieza, didn't destroy any androids personally, couldn't beat Cell, Buu saga is faint but I only ever remember him destroying Kid Buu and making some moron in Babidi's ship kill himself by constantly feeding him energy. I don't count the movies since movies aren't canon.

Well, if you count Dragonball (which is by far a superior series), I know he at least killed the original King Piccolo. Punched a hole right through his chest. The second Piccolo is generally considered a different character. But yea, considering the length of the franchise, Goku's kill count is pretty low.

I said DBZ canon. I know Dragonball Goku killed King Piccolo though, and I think he beat General Tao so bad he had to get cybernetic enhancements but I think that was a filler arc in Cell Saga.

I don't think you can even count Kid Buu as really 'dying' because it was just his evil, he was allowed to be reborn as a good guy so he was never really 'gone', but another person. And that one guy in Babidi's ship killed HIMSELF. So technically, outside of movies, Goku has never killed anyone himself. Also, all his series' ability to defeat villains made total sense. Movies were all about 'finding the power to win in the end' for sure.

Yeah well I didn't expect Syn to flood the building to the point that it bursts faster than the button on Oprah's pants after she eats a philly cheese steak. And as one would expect Seijuro wants no part in taking the rep for that one so he's going ghost.

I know you said DBZ but:
In Dragonball, Goku actually storms the Red Ribbon army and basically kills everyone in there.

DB Goku was way more ruthless than DBZ, it's pretty funny how that ends up working out.

And more likable imo.

LOL @ running.
