Naruto is often viewed as one of the most relevant shonen of the past few years, and while many believe it to be sacrosanct in many ways, Masashi Kishimoto’s work exhibits rather simplified narrative inconsistencies and gadgets that were recently highlighted by the community thanks to a post on Social.

The discussion started thanks to the interesting and provocative question from user FrozenFlames12 that you can find at the bottom of the message. The fan asked what other fans said it was the worst narrative aspect introduced over the course of the series. The receipt of more than 700 Frozen responses sparked a heated debate marked by more or less exhaustive reasons that help an overview of the unoriginal findings of the work, mainly in the final part.

From the introduction of the Hermitic Art of the Six Ways, in which Naruto plays the role of the chosen one, a recurring theme in too many fantasy series, to clashing with Pain, which is based entirely on brute force, and pulling through all the clichés about many characters, there are many narrative phases that the fans consider weak, which further emphasize one of the main problems of the Shonen, the slow improvement and increase in the protagonists.

What are your views on this? How would you have answered the question? Let us know in the area reserved for comments. Finally, we leave you with a nice cosplay for a couple, which is dedicated to Naruto and Tsunade, and an interesting zodiac profile of Sasuke Uchiha.
