So much of it is about Sakura being a more main character than Hinata.... I'm pretty sure in universe they don't think like that.

Of course, there really was no way to make everyone happy... except if it went NaruSasu.

Hopefully it doesn't go the Magi or Fairy Tail route in the future.

In what sense?

While I still read Fairy Tail, the heavy fanservice & predictable plot doesn't necessarily spell greatness. Plus despite its reputation, it even generated enough popularity to bring the anime back, it still lacks that certain something that would bump it up from a relatively big series to something giant like the former HST. Magi, while having a strong beginning with the same promise I saw in Fairy Tail, fizzled out somewhere after its two big arcs.

Between the shipping and people arguing about who is the stronger between Sasuke and Naruto, Nardo tears have never flowed as freely and voluminously.

It's glorious in a way.

Well the series is over. Now is as good a time as any for the tears right?

The final panel of that picture on the last page makes me feel a little bad. There was time when Ichigo was my favorite of the HST protagonists. Bleach is just so terrible most of the time though, now.

... actually, he's still probably my favorite protagonist. But it's more of like a "winning the special olympics" type situation.

Ah, the route of the also-ran rather than the route of the champ, you mean.

I do agree, while I like both of those I can't see either reaching the lofty heights the three made at their peaks.

He's an odd case where he started out atypical and interesting and became bland as all get out. He's been.... bleached, one might say!

I actually like how Naruto developed as a person a lot.

You know, winning the special Olympics is still really really hard, we need a better expression...

Hey Q99, you going to do one last Naruto Ranking update?

I'm interested, too.

Safe to say that Narutard and Sasgay at the end of the arc are about equal.

Hagoromo was definitely at the top of the echelon, with his mother a close second, IMHO.

Yep.
I doubt it'll happen again anytime soon so it'll be sad when this ends.

It's the other way around.

Kaguya
Hagoromo/Hamura
Hamura/Hagoromo
Madara
Indra
Ashura
Naruto/Sasuke
Sasuke/Naruto
8th Gate Gai
Double MS Kakashi

The new villain in the movie is related to the Kaguya family so he's probably going to take one of those spots.

Sure, but how much is there to add? I don't think Sasuke and Naruto changed from the Kaguya fight particularly, do you?

We never did see No-Sharingan Kakashi fight.

Hm, I guess we could add in the new Kage at S-ranked (based on the assumption that, well, almost all Kage are S-rank).

And we well know why the black girl ended up with Choji... Expansion jutsu baby.. If you know what I mean...

😂

once you go Akimichi...

And will be just as stoic and lame as Kaguya was.

YAAAAY....

Luffy is mine by a mile. But I think OP is ahead of Naruto and Bleach considerably in most areas. I agree with Q though that Ichigo used to be very cool.

The problem with Bleach right now is that Kubo detracted the story too much away from Ichigo.
The focus of the arc is SK and Yhwach, while Ichigo is in the sideline.

I'm okay with that.

Very likely. Though there's always the small chance that they'll surprise us.
