Shikamaru vs Kin | Naruto

Shikimaru: "Oh no a string.. that I can use to make her think it has a shadow, which is actually my shadow technique.. that I can use to distract to throw a shuriken at her, while she cant move.. that I can use as a distraction, to make her hit and knock herself out.. that will let me fight Temari in the next round.. whom I will marry.

[@archwing3441]

Anyone else realized that Shikamaru could do a lot more after catching someone in his shadow if he just regularly kept a pair of kunais in a really odd place. Like, it's standard practice to keep kunais on the leg so when he traps someone and they both go for one, they both grab a kunai, but if he kept a kunai in his hair or something, he could just be the only one throwing it and not actually have to worry about getting hit.

[@drageoksllechtim2078]

[@EliteHoopster2018]

[@mischievousone9999]

I think the reason why he bothered to toss the shuriken instead of leaning back outright was so her dive back would be stronger. People can resist the technique to varying degrees based on how strong they are, so her wanting to dodge back helped to minimize that risk and ensured she hit the wall with sufficient force.

it's also because he needs to let go of the jutsu before she hits her head or he would also feel the impact on the wall, as when Naruto hit Gaara under shadow posession Shikamaru felt the punch too, so it's not enough to force her to hang her head back, he has to make her think that it's the right thing to do.

[@TheLuconic]

Shikamaru represents what a ninja is supposed to be. Sneaky, intelligent, aware of their surroundings as well as use them to their advantage. Everything all those kids are not. Why he was the only one who graduated.

[@bennitori4]

I thought it was appalling that Shino didn't graduate as well. His power is bugs that eat your chakra. So his things is to distract you long enough for the bugs to sneak in. He did that with both Zaku and Kankuro, without being to flashy. But of course his big fight took place in a forest, instead of in front of a judge. Something he laments after and during the fight. I think if he had his battle in front of a judge, he would've had a decent shot of graduating alongside Shikamaru. All the other genin used the exams as ways to hash out their emotional problems. And the only ones who didn't (and still won their fights) were Shikamaru and Shino.

[@NoxAtlas]

Good old times when the action was more focused on outsmarting your enemy. I wont say they completely abandoned it but back then the characters had more natural limits to their power and needed to use these abilities in the most efficient way. But towards the end of the series it became much less relevant because the characters could either summon Kaijus, turn into them or get ridiculous power-ups that made them strong enough to take out gods. The first part of the show was more interesting because the characters weren't ridiculously overpowered. If I wanted to watch a series with characters that can obliterate entire cities with just one attack, I can watch DBZ instead.

[@swnerd-2320]

The creator, Kishimoto, even admitted that he took a lot of inspiration from DBZ, but I get the feeling that he wanted to be too much like DBZ as the series progressed that he lost sight of what his series was originally about, which was stealth, strategy, and deception.

[@sucraloss]

I think what makes some of these earlier fights so good is that they’re compared with the power creep later in the show. Strategy is still used in both, but most fights became more extravagant over time as the show focused on characters who predominantly increased in power. Sort of like how in DBZ it goes from Super Saiyan to many multiple levels of super saiyan, it feels less special even if the formula is the same.

Nah thats the real story of naruto they're Started from small techniques to keep the suspense that the other characters got an overwhelming power.

I hate that when they transitioned into shippuden these characters were so severely watered down. The leaf ninja genin were no diffing everything walking, now a lot of times they can’t even compete because they don’t have senjutsu or some op dojutsu.

[@hellothere3210]

@@hanaazouri2181 also the only reason why I said "ALL" the girls is because in some videos that I've come across with in regards to cartoon crushes, I see many people commenting how Sasuke was one of their cartoon crushes.

Honestly Shikamaru was showing off for drama, he didn't need to throw the shuriken, he just needed to make hwr headbutt the wall 😂 but he made it flashy, just for us.

Imagine how good shikamaru would have been if he actually applied himself self. I think he would have been basically unstoppable

Good times when Nara clan techniques weren't broken AF.

[@ArthurPacheco]

When did it become broken tf

[@procerator]

@@ArthurPacheco in Boruto this technique does not link movements of two people one-to-one. So there is basically no downside. You just paralyze an opponent, then stab him with a kunai. The end.

Shikamaru low reserve of chakra and his high intellect always make his fights always entertaining. Plus, we know he's planned 500 steps ahead to fight and marry Temari.
