Or it can come off as refreshing and unexpected. The idea of such a powerful and influential figure being an easy-going and quirky guy is interesting imo. Defying character archetypes and expectations is a viable writing technique. Like if you had a Nazi who loves his family and was troubled by the actions around him, or a clown who's actually a cynical *******.

That's interesting, considering the fact that his brother—who's only a few years younger—was an admirable figurehead, politically, as well as an excellent combat tactician.

Whats you point and how does it relate to mine about Hashirama serving as another mirror of Naruto?

No. It didn't made for a great twist. It was a disappointment, plain and simple.

You're the only one who seems to feel that way. I think its a lot better this way. It makes him more human than his untouchable Godlike persona made him out to be. If he had been some sort of stern, impressive prodigal figure, I think he would have been a lot less interesting and likable.

I'd like to note that when it was go time, Hashirama gets serious as ****...like "make you shit your pants" serious.

Very few shinobi have that type of night and day change that happens.

So Hashirama works as a character as both the legend as the fun founder.

That's it, Hashirama's new nickname is Fun-Founder.

Astner calls Hashirama egocentric but likes Tobirama, the guy who feels insulted when Naruto doesn't recognize him.

Granted Tobirama isn't nearly as egocentric as lolMadara but he has a bigger one than Hashirama.

When you listed it with other qualities you considered bad characteristics.

So since there's no Shonen Jump this week does that mean that we'll have to wait an additional week for Bleach?

Bleach is coming back in September according to Mangastream.

Reason?

Because he wants to take a break I guess.

Everyone should read Oyasumi Punpun. 👆

Stop pushing Punpun on people. You already somehow forced marathon 50 chapters :<

Though I am starting on Psycho Busters.

People should check out Mirai-Nikki /nods

But it is ending so yeah. :T

Started reading that too but got caught up with Deadman Wonderland instead.

Read it. Not very good.

Thank you for the recs, dudes. 😄

Get on your knees and thank me properly.

Funny story: the raws for this chapter(and One Piece) actually came out yesterday but apparently all the mangatranslators decided they'd rather just sit around instead of translating the chapter. So for a shit quality translation you can go to One Manga. =D

Spoiler:
Rin and Kushina died on the same day? How coincidental.

Obito deciding that he's tired of playing around is good. Nice to see him finally starting the offensive.

Naruto and Minato are gonna stop his big attack though. Really hoping the Full Kyuubi is not strong enough to just outright stop it though. Would be dumb.

Scans are blurry as all ****.

The end has the chapter words written out. Try reading that on onemanga.

Also, thanks again, Aura, for the recommendations.

Lulz, ddm, Hashirama has Sage Mode.

Kishi really does love to prove you wrong.

Unconfirmed. There is only indirect evidence based on Tobirama's words.

If or when I ever meet him, I think I will smack him...
