Unpopular Opinions on Naruto: Unconventional Theories and Insights
Introduction
Are you ready to dive into the lesser-discussed theories about the Naruto series? If so, grab a comfortable seat as we explore some unconventional and unpopular opinions about characters, storylines, and the broader narrative of the beloved anime. From reimagining villains to dissecting character growth, these theories may challenge your preconceived notions and provide a fresh perspective on one of the most iconic shounen series.
The Obito as Final Boss Theory
First, letrsquo;s talk about Obito. While the support for Obito Uchiha as a Final Boss is growing, the idea that Juubirsquo;s incarnation Juubito should have been the final villain stands out as an intriguing theory. Juubito, the Ten-Tailsrsquo; incarnation, was a common enemy for the entire Team 7, the rest of the Konoha 11, and the Kage. His presence as a villain spanned multiple arcs, making him a formidable and relatable antagonist.
Furthermore, comparing him to Madara Uchiha, another candidate for a final boss, reveals some compelling differences. If Madara had not been overshadowed by the Otsutsuki threat, he would have been an incredible final boss. However, the emergence of the Otsutsuki race as the new villains in the series introduces a new layer of complexity and introduces the idea that the Ten-Tailsrsquo; manifestation should have been a more extensive and destructive plot element.
The Theory of Ten-Tails as an Ultimate Threat
To build on the previous theory, it is theorized that the Ten-Tails itself should have been the final and most powerful combination of all the Tailed Beasts. The theory suggests that the power of the Ten-Tails could have been utilized in an opposite way to what happened in the Otsutsuki arc. Instead of being trapped in an endless dream to clear the planet with the God Tree, the Ten-Tails could have been used to wipe out the shinobi from the planet entirely. This would have resulted in a race to survival and a new beginning with Obito and Madara emerging as the new idgets of Six Paths, leading to a completely new story arcs.
The Janus-Faced Power of Juubito
Upping the ante, an unnerrfed Juubito could have been too powerful for characters like Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to defeat without their allied chakra powers, including the Six Paths Power, Sage Mode with Rasengan, or the Rinnegan.
The 3-eyed version of Madara, a Juubi Jinchuriki with the Rinnegan, would have been particularly challenging, even more than the adult Sasuke. While Naruto did have the physical strength and stats to fight against Juubi Madara with Sage Mode, it was not until Baryon Mode where he could truly outmatch Madara, but only by a margin.
The Sage Mode and Beyond
In the broader narrative, Sage Mode has proven to be an unparalleled force. The adult or 17-year-old Naruto Uzumaki is advanced beyond the entire Konoha 13.
Even considering the other powerful characters like 100-hour chakra Hinata Hyuuga and Sakura Haruno, their combined strength would likely find it difficult to counter his Senjutsu-based attacks, such as the Massive Rasengan, which killed Momoshiki Otsutsuki, forcing him to remain alive through Karma.
Character Development and New Dynamics
Letrsquo;s shift gears to the characters in recent arcs like Boruto Naruto Uzumaki. Despite initially being a brat, Boruto has developed into a strong and capable shinobi. His character arc is rich with potential and shows character growth.
Tobirama and Killer B, on the other hand, stand out as top-tier characters. Killer B is lauded for his prowess with the sword and his wholesome character traits, while Tobirama maintains a reputation as the best Hokage in the series for his cunning and leadership skills.
Aacionales and Female Characters
Female characters in the series, such as Hinata and Sakura, have received undue criticism. They are both crucial to the narrative and should be celebrated for their individual strengths. Boruto is positively acknowledged for his role, though it took some time to evolve into his full potential.
Other series continuities, such as the Boruto arc, particularly the Kawaki arc, are praised despite being undervalued due to inconsistency and pacing issues. Several specific arcs, including those in Gooddl Naruto, stand out as some of the best in the series canon.
Unnerrfed Akatsuki and Modern Ignorance
The unerrfed power levels of Akatsuki members like Tobi and the Uchiha Pain provide an interesting contrast. Even when Deidara reaches his full powers, his strength is comparable to that of Sasori of the Sand, as demonstrated in significant battles. Onoki surpasses both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Suzumibayashi in combat, while Kabuto is often underrated as a worthy antagonist in his own right.
Among the recent arcs, the Kagaki viral is particularly noteworthy for its overhyped status, showcasing the potential for underappreciated moments in the series.
Conclusion
Naruto is filled with complex characters and intriguing story arcs, and these lesser-discussed theories add a new layer of depth to the series. From Obito as a final villain to the power of the Ten-Tails, these theories challenge our understanding of the characters and plot, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved shounen series.
Next time you watch or read Naruto, see if these theoretical elements resonate with your experience and provide a richer, more nuanced understanding of the series.
