Naruto Q&A

[Kafriel]

I'm afraid Minato died right after Naruto was born, if he had another child, it would have probably been referred to in Jiraiya's flashback.

You know, there's no way that Karin is Naruto's brother, right?

No way indeed, since Karin's a girl
As for the other half of the kyuubi...some say in the death god, I'll say unspecified as of yet.

Spoiler for just to be sure:

in which episodes jiraiya vs pain occoured from start to finish?

[Kafriel]

^ Episodes 129~133, since the fight's been shown already there's no need for tags

Edit: looks like I stand corrected...

[james0246]

^Complete mini-arc: 127-133.

edit: beaten by Kafriel....

Little question. Some sources say that Ultimate Ninja 5 is coming out for the PS2 in U.S.A. by Christmas (somewhere between the 15th and 23rd). Other sources, just as numerous, state that it is NEVER coming out in the states.

Which is it?

I've got a question about the law of physics in Naruto.

Now I know Naruto is an unrealistic manga and gravity and physics are different, but this has been bothering me for a while, although the answer will probably simply be that "that is just how it works in Naruto".

Anyway, Chapter 292, Page 15. Naruto goes Kyuubi against Orochimaru, then he knocks Kabuto across the bridge and Kabuto (while falling) in turn knocks Sakura out. A little later Sakura falls of the bridge and Yamato catches her with his webs wood magic.

Picture:

Spoiler:

My question: Shouldn't Sakura have snapped her neck? According to physics and the speed at which she was falling, such a sudden stop of movement should probably crack her neck.

Ofcourse we also saw this in the famous Night that Gwen Stacey died, in Spider-Man. Now I don't wanna say Spider-Man is a realistic comic, but at least it's more realistic then Naruto.

So, what? She has a super-neck, or is it just Naruto's magical law of physics?

[james0246]

^Sakura unconsciously reinforced her body with chakra so as to lessen the impact of the fall, which resulted in her being okay when she received whiplash...

Or, it simply doesn't matter, and since Kishimoto has never strived for realism, you shouldn't look for realism...

[Kafriel]

Think of it this way: Yamato approached Sakura with his wood, wrapped it around her and squeezed little by little so as to reduce her falling speed. Since that would take many panels with squeaky SFX, they decided to do it in half a page.

its time they gave up on making PS2 games, the Xbox 360 is beating out the PS3 because Sony won't let the PS2 die.
why can't they bring the game out on the PS3 instead?...right now the PS3 has the best hardware, but the Xbox 360 has the best software. thats why there's more 360s.

It's because the PS2 is just that damn good. There are lots of people who buy both the PS2 and PS3 because they both have great games. Sony just keeps their consoles alive, and they're doing a great job. The PS2 has outlived the Xbox and the Gamecube by far.

Overall, Sony's consoles have a longer lifespan, and I believe that is what will eventually give them the edge over Nintendo and Microsoft.

1/14 143: 八尾対サスケ "Sasuke vs. Eight Tails"

Seems like they're following the manga for now

[Justice Knight]

regarding the latest ep and some manga stuff

Spoiler:

why is it that the latest ep kisame said that they have 6 tails which i thought that they already should have 7 tails? and which chapter did kisame said that?

also IIRC akatsuki already has 3 bijuu at the start of part 2 right correct me if i am wrong
bijuu that got caught
gaara
yugito
sanbi
4tail old man

[Kafriel]

must have been around chapter 403 or so, and yes you're right, they did that to...

Spoiler for anime spoiler:

pave the way to the 6-tails arc, they can't do it if he's already captured. More info about it in the latest anime thread, we've been talking about it for a while.

[24gh12]

in what order did the biju fall

[Kafriel]

According to naruto wiki, the ones captured are Yugito (nibi) by the zombie brothers, Yagura (sanbi) by Deidara and Tobi, and finally Roshi (yonbi) by Kisame. The other jinchuuriki were captured by akatsuki either beforehand or in-between these hands, with the exception of Utakata, KillerBee and Naruto, I don't recall their exact order of extraction being revealed to us.

[Haak]

Quick Question: What does Shippuden actually mean?

[Kafriel]

I believe it means something along the lines of storm chronicles, can't remember the roots for the word tho.

[Rheehemoth]

Yeah, I think it's storm or hurricane chronicles...

[antjluc]

ok i was reading chapter 399 and madara said that uchiha are the only one's who can control the kyubii just wanted to know if there is more evidence of this?
