i was also confused by Hanzo. i knew he was an antagonist with a sense of honor and he named the sannin. but for him to be some sort of pacifist leader? where did that come from? i don't remember that? was that reveald during his time as a resurrected puppet combatant?

oh, eww, konan's been captured.

 

 

god i hate how this series treats women. konan was the most disappointing meber of akatsuki. i remember how hype we were when she first showed her face in the manga and we thought it meant that kishimoto HAD to make a competent and powerful woman if she was a member of such an illustrious group. but then she just turned out to be a groupie for Pain

Yup, she was by far the weakest member, had virtually no accomplishments, and just cheered them on outside of that one fight with Tobi/Obito.

Well, Kishimoto said he's bad at writing women because he can't relate to them.  Lol.

Whoof, looks like he said even worse shit than that lmao.

Excerpt from Interview:

Shonen Jump: Sakura and Rock Lee don’t appear to have any of the special powers that ninja like Naruto, Sasuke, or Gaara have—do you think those two characters are popular because they provide a kind of reader’s-eye view of the story as it unfolds?

Masashi Kishimoto: Is Sakura popular in the U.S.? Well, Lee only has Taijutsu. And as a girl, Sakura is physically weaker than the others. So I can see why it’s easy to empathize with them. They represent human weaknesses.

I read that whole compilation and I'm just like, wow.  Kishi... I can't even.  lmao.

xD

Although I don't agree a simple gender swap is possible since men and women aren't exactly alike, but Kishimoto could have done a lot better.  And don't give him credit for Sarada and ChoCho!  He doesn't write Boruto which is the reason why they don't suck lmao.

And this reply -

Kishimoto loves to write about brotherhood, thats his passion, the enthusiasm shows. He doesn't care for romance or sisterhood , it just doesnt interest him.

He's just there like...what do I do with these females...they dont have brotherhood...bleh guess it would make no sense to create a world without female population, I'll HAVE to include them a teeny bit.... urrgh now the editors say I need to put romance in it more but all I wanna write is brotherhood...girls boring...

ROFL

Yeah, it's probably the show that treats women the worst by far on Toonami, but I'd say its closest competitor in chauvinism is Food Wars.
