[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]From what I've gathered it seems Tobi is involved in Madara's plan, as likely was Nagato to some extent. I doubt Tobi is Tobirama given he's already had his soul summoned and sealed, which would make Tobi being him impossible logically.Likewise Madara seemed to state he was expecting to be brought back via Nagato's Rinnegan powers as opposed to Tobirama's Impure World Resurrection. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]A second season is a must for Tiger & Bunny, especially that final hint.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"][quote name='Happy' timestamp='1319079115' post='709986'] Would you say it was... [size="7"][b]OVERWHELMING?!?![/b][/size] [color="#696969"][font="Tahoma"]Haha, in all seriousness I did enjoy this issue. I'm rather curious as to how [spoiler]Sharingan evolves into the Rinnegan[/spoiler]. Perhaps you have to murder your Uncle? Who knows? All I know is Madara may or may not be responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs.[/font][/color] [/quote] Haha maybe, I was hoping we'd see a bit more of Madara's legendary Sharingan but given he was still able to use Susanoo and probably the other Sharingan techniques it'll probably still be a decent fight. Rinnegan just feels overused at the minute, I fully expect Sasuke to eventually get a set. I imagine we'll find out next week, or hopefully soon. Probably again comes from some kind of psychological reaction to something. [quote name='The Professor' timestamp='1319092664' post='709988'][font="Comic Sans MS"]So guys, is this series still reading like a bad fanfiction of itself? Because I'm almost willing to torture myself with it again.[/font][/quote] Depends on your definition of bad, but yeah, it's definitely still reading like fanfiction. [quote name='Magus' timestamp='1319223103' post='710000']Speaking of which, really, how overpowered can one get? Hashirama must've been a beast.[/quote] Well remember that he didn't have the Rinnegan when he fought Hashirama at VOTE, given that we now know he survived, unlocked the Rinnegan and then passed the eyes to Nagato before he finally did die. I fully expect that Hashirama was a beast, considering he beat Madara Prime and the Kyuubi alone at VOTE but sadly we'll never see him again unless it's a flashback. What I'm more curious about now though is that if we're to assume the Rinnegan is essentially the most evolved form of the Sharingan possible and therefore purely the legacy of the Rikudo's Elder Son, does that mean that Mokuton is likewise the peak form of the Rikudo's Younger Son's abilities (the "body" as opposed to the "eyes"). Plants are already bursting into bloom around Naruto (although supposedly that's more to do with the Kyuubi's chakra which I am beginning to question) and we know the Uzumaki who are famed for their vitality and longevity are both related to the Senju and descended from the Younger Son. Certainly it's bad fanfiction enough to possibly happen.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Well that was...interesting. I know Kishi loves his Uchiha and Madara is a pretty cool guy but seriously, that was a little much.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Indeed, no offence to Hinata but the "You can tell its him from his eyes" argument doesn't really work when you're fighting enemies who can create physically identical clones. Now saying it has to be Naruto because he rushed into them Leroy Jenkins style would probably hold more water. Sucks as well that they've already off-pannelled half of the Edo 7 Swordsmen, after having so many hints about them dropped over for so long it feels like such lazy writing to just go "Lawls here's Naruto pwning Zetsu fodder instead kthnxbailolbleachsux!". I just hope Dan and Hizashi actually get proper fights, but now that Madara has arrived I fully expect them to be off-pannelled too.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Yeah that's the one. Talk about fate, I was rereading the chapter and just as I got to second last page with Madara standing with his arms crossed on the cliff Sengoku Basara 2's "This is a Fight to Change the World" starts playing, sent shivers down my spine haha.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Bwahahaha. I've never completely lost faith in that theory so I'm just going to sit smugly for the time being. Seriously though, I hope there is a good explanation for Tobi's true identity like he's really Izuna as opposed to say, he's a clone of Madara and attempting to make himself the real deal. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Haha yeah I was expecting Rukia vs Riruka same as everyone else so it was a bit of a shock for them not to feature at all. Tsukishima was downright frighteningly competent, and I think we can fairly accurately assume Kubo having each of the other Failbringers drop like flies in the last few chapter was intended to accentuate Byakuya being completely out-fought. Lord knows how dangerous Tsukishima would be if Ginjou had given him so of Ichigo's powers on top of what's already there. All I can say is I can't wait for next week. Ikkaku and Moe was also pretty epic too. Funny thing is though, I'd never have thought Kenpachi willing to die for his subordinates. Sure, he'd cut in in a fight for them but I can't see him literally telling any of them outside of perhaps Yachiru to bail on him if it looked like he wasn't going to make it. It's a nice thing to know though.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]If my semester schedule allows it I'd definitely be interested. James what would you think of maybe doing a prequel instead of a sequel?[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Not a chance, someone over on Narutoforums claimed the Failbringers were all Espada/Captain level and was pretty much laughed out of the thread. Sure some of them have pretty ungodly hax abilities (the late Giriko comes to mind) but their actual combat capability is fairly low. Decentish chapter this week, though to be honest watching the Failbringers continuously lose to the Shinigami is getting less entertaining. Hopefully next week will focus on Ichigo and Byakuya's fights.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Yeah, for me most of the entertainment factor in Naruto disappeared a while back. Honestly while the whole Zetsu shapeshifter army is a great strategic movie it's quite poor from a story point of view when it relies entirely on one character to be able to defeat them. Having introduced a lot of interesting characters from outside Konoha, I wish he'd spend a bit more time focusing on them and how badass they are.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"][center][img]http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/ad197/ZeitgeistGlee/RukiaPerv1.jpg[/img][/center] Taken from this week's episode of BLEACH, it's probably intended to be just as pervy as it sounds.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Nope sorry Boris, subs are definitely in (same price as WAR) though at least they've nailed down the official release date and started beta testing for Europe (though sadly I have not received an invite yet). Unfortunately the guild is under reevaluation at the minute, my new university course is taking up a lot of my time and quite a few of the people who initially expressed interest have dropped out/joined other guilds since. Those who remain are mostly Republic-slanted and I've had two offers or alliance and adversary so far as well, so to be honest I'm considering making us a Republic-only guild for launch and maybe having our Imperial alts join with an adversary guild or possible resurrect the Imperial side at a later date.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Sorry guys, I ended up with a case of Gastroenteritis last week, so I haven't really been keeping up with the RPG. Going to read through it today and see where things stand.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Renji's pimp-slap was just god-like, though Ikkaku's shoulder reolcation was pretty awesome too.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Definitely needs a second season surrounding Ouroboros. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Watching later season TNG while it was still airing with my dad when I was a kid, not quite the same as watching Star Wars or Bob Ross on Discovery but it was still nice to spend time with the old man.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Yeah, of all the Shinigami vs Failbringer fights that's about the only one I'm interested in.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Nice post mate, you do realise though McKnight only let him win so he could go face Starlighter feeling confident right ? [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]No! Bad Sunrise! Don't you ******* dare! [spoiler]I seriously almost teared up when Bunny revealed he'd been learning to cook.[/spoiler] [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Indeed, realistically people already know what they want their training to comprise of and to what level it will bring them. I understand that the end of the summer brings with it an ever decreasing availability of time but I'd hate to see this RPG fold early for avoidable reasons.[/size][/font]
