That is not necessarily a good thing. Kishimoto planned the ending of Naruto from the start. He retconned so much by the end that it made no sense. Feeling safe because you planned the ending means jackshit when the story has deviated so much that things have a different meaning

Sure. But it’s clear Oda is not like that. It’s been clear for about 20 years that everything brought up and introduced in the first few hundred chapters would come back round. The issue that might arise with Oda is not that the ending won’t make sense, it’s that he frequently rushes things to hit self imposed goals so the ending might feel a bit rushed even though all the setup was planted 20 years ago.

I am sure Oda takes into account the pacing of the story to. He would love to write loredrop books where he talks about characters, places, events and history but that would stop the story if put on the manga. Being able to rein it in and integrate it organically is one of his strengths.

Is there context to this claim? cause I really wanna know if the Kaguya bullshit was planned from the start cause that would be fucking HILARIOUS.

He likely means the final fight being between Naruto and Sasuke, which Kishimoto said it would be years in advance.

Oh well that is like the most bottom bitch "i planned this guys" possible

Yes, that is what I meant. Sasuke had no real reason to fight Naruto at that point so, after every problem he had with the world was resolved, he had him start acting crazy again to cause them to fight. He wanted that fight to happen beyond the point it made sense anymore so Sasuke was re-maddened and they fought. He did not take into account to leave some problems for Sasuke to remain unresolved in order for them to fight. Like, have him wanting to kill Root and the Elders for basically screwing Konoha and the Uchiha over on the drop of a dime. Stupid, Kishi had the ending planned but he did not take into account of the retcons he caused or the corner he wrote himself into.

The giants take turns on bucket duty.

Lets be real, Half the series issues involve Sasuke.

It is more accurate to say that they involve Danzo. The only shit we know he was not involved in is the stuff that happened before his birth spawning. He caused Sasuke and Itachi to be evil, he was in cahoots with Orochimaru and his experiments, he made the Akatsuki into terrorists, he screwed over Naruto by informing everyone of his Jinchuriki status, he made Kabuto kill his adoptive mother, he allowed the village to be massacred by Pain and he tried to use the Kotoamatsukami on the other Kage. Everything Sasuke did was because of him.
 
Honka Honka Burning Love said:
Because Danzo was correct in not trusting the Ucihas because they have an actual Genetic Defect that drives them insane when their Eyeball bullshit gets to strong.

True, they do but when seen next to his other actions, it becomes clear that he only did it because he is greedy.

In any case, let us move the Naruto ranting to the appropriate thread:


Just make sure to read it all as everything I talked about here is there too.

If this was true, the giants could get as big as the ancient ones did, but that would imply Oars was in his 500s when he died (no named regular giant has lived that long), which he wasn't.

I don't know where 500s comes from, I believe he died 500 years ago. However as my "giants grow indefinitely because they don't shit" thesis indicates in its comprehensive explanation age alone does not reflect giant size. Sufficiently greedy giants may grow bigger than their colleagues and, of course, bigger giants have bigger children. Oars was just the offspring of fat bastards, hence his immense size, supported by his own progeny being similarly as over-sized as he.

This also explains why official Marine giant recruits tend to be on the shorter side. Marine rations are fairly lean by the standards of normal giant meals and as such they tend to be relatively scrawny.
 
Fun fact, the okama were the second thing to get me into One Piece back in the early 2010's.

... Second thing, because the first ever thing to actually introduce me to One Piece was a fanmade PowerPuff Girls game.
