Description Am i the only one who thinks one of Naruto's new Pals in chapter 431 looks like the frog equivalent of Zoro from one Piece?

I don't own either of these, just shown here to make a point.

Lol. I feel that way sometimes too. Sometimes though, things can still surprise me. I have hope.

Well to date I've been noting that nartuo seems to take alot of ideas from one piece:dumb main character who likes to eat, gaint snakes(one piece did it first), sand villion, gaint dog, and of late the frogs. It's not just idea's the designs look like he stole alot of other writers too. I really can't wait for it to end. I mean it's not a bad series it's the fans that get me. One piece never have in your face asshole nerds giving you shit to the point you beat them up.(I know we made a game out of it and people thanked us...guess that makes us the heros! Believe it!)

I'm sorry but it seems I may have mislead you with my comments and the poster itself. I wasn't criticizing OP or Naruto for any coincidental similarities in character design (heck, it could be a cultural outfit appropriate for swordsmen for all I know). I just found it funny that two characters from different popular manga/anime who were both using swords looked similar(even more amusing as they are on opposing sides of the Ninja vs Pirate debate.)

Also I must respectively disagree with your assessment that Naruto is ripping off OP to any great degree. Both stupid heroes who like to eat and giant snakes are hardly something either OP or Naruto came up with first. If one followed that logic, you could say Bleach is ripping off Yu Yu Hakashu cause Hiei used swords first.

And as a final note, specifically in regards to the big dumb hero who likes to eat, Dragon Ball did it before any of the others and I still doubt they came up with it first. I think it's juts a popular anime main character/hero archetype.

Are you the one who posted it? Well thats good to read(I keep getting nartuo hate fans writing), I do agree with you and I see your point. I however do in fact do not dislike nartuo (not the books or show it's the narutard fans!) And in fact feel it did to ninjas what twilight did to vampires! But it's not the book who did it. It is the amount of people who heard the word ninja and jumped on to the wagon and used it as reason to act like a idiot. If this keeps up the world will be full of nothing but vampires and ninjas wannabes. Not that I mind that it's just I'm more a pirate/werewolf myself. I mean to say in my mind vampires don't shine in the light and ninjas don't summon gaint frogs to fight that's like the opposite of a ninja ( I can see a pirate doing it because it's big and flashly but ninja sneak!) Still I liked the book in the early years it was more real (I think anyway!) But thank you for writing in a calm and intelligent way.

Nooooo.........Most of my friends are ranked top 20 in the state in grades and test scores, then again most of my friends are girls. But when a guy dressed like sasuke (spelled right?) keeps a good friend of mine from going to the bathroom over some bullshit reason he got from nartuo. And then my frined (Mike who plays football and is a very big/strong linemen) asked him to move or he'd hit him (he really had to go!) the kids tells him to fuck off because he's the hero of this story "believe it!" (dah fuck?). Mike hit him (one shot to the face) and he fell to the floor crying like a child. Also a friend of mine was looking at my new trigun wallet and a nartuo kid (wearing a head ban walks up a takes my wallet and hits me with it, throws it on the ground and steps on it then calls it a piece of crap! Then another kid as I'm talking to a friend about how werid this day has been (Thats right a day!) gets on all fours and jumps around dressed as nartuo. I asked him why he said he was doing frog jutsu. I asked if like the martial art? He's like no like a ninja turn into a frog Dah fuck ninjas don't turn into frogs? I was A+ in history and read alot of manga but this kid thought it was the real thing! I talked a bit to him about it and he went crazy and ran out of the room yelling he'd kill me or something...crying? This went on for the four years I was in that school. The last year on the last day of school me and about 50 guys dressed up like characters from lots of different series (but not nartuo) and asked to fight (are school has a rule where if students want to fight they can but under special rules in a boxing ring.) and beat everyone of them to hell(helps most of them are in sports funny narutards don't do sport,Huh?). Didn't fix the narutards they still do it but it was fun! My friends said I should go as sanji (this was before I started one piece I think I'd look more like franky but they say I'm a sanji and the girls had already made the costume. P.S. Almost all the girls in the school hated these guys they were perv's in a gross way and talked down to them alot guess nartuo teaches women are just background sub plot, huh?) I'm a green belt ( I hate the idea of belts and colrs equaling skill) in Savate so it was a easy win! I don't do it to every fan I meet jes, sorry I didn't want to write all this I will be more careful in the future about detail. >_>

I confess being unable to quickly find words to express my disdain and derision and admit to not giving a shit enough to do so

Oh?,oh!,I see!, Your one of those people who put their foots in their mouths and can't bring themselves to say sorry because then they would have to take their self illusioned godhood off and find a way to write in a manner as to not sound like a pompous asshole! Your so standard!lol!(By that I mean alot of people have it!) But if you'd like to show your disdain and derision (laugh) look in a mirror one need look only as far as that to see all one hates in the world. I have no disdain it is a child who hates it is an adult who teaches. And to top it off quote, quote, quotes! (That was self satire, don't want to go over your head.) Any way if you can't write then don't, shut up and move on! I really don't need nuts in my trail mix. ^.^

Why would I say sorry? And I don't see only hate in the world, I see a child who is limited in his view of Naruto because of the narrow experiences of the schoolyard, which leads to rambling 'wtf' posts. And in regards to moving on, I can just ignore you if that makes you feel better. I have more regard for the rocks in my garden then the gibes of a faceless, unimportant commenter on dA.

Then please do!, I am not the one who started the probelm, you did! Calling me names over my (as you put it) "narrow experiences of the schoolyard" I didn't say you feel only hate I'm saying (I can't believe I have to spell this out!) you hate people who say something is stupid based on moments of emotion...like yourself! And that is irony Miss...wait!, You are a miss right? Well just do what you feel like it's not like you'll say sorry anyway. (even though I can't recall asking for it and said sorry for my post being unclear) If you have nothing to do but read "gibes of a faceless, unimportant commenter on dA."which are your life blood as a artist! Maybe you should rethink the whole I'm better then you writing style. Also read what someones wrote a few times more then once! It helps and being the one who didn't insult you, also being the one who said sorry first I'm going with you being the child (though i highly doubt you will believe it! You are very standard indeed!) Also I'm unclear about this feeling better thing it seem like you insulted me and then tried to walk away? I don't mind it, but it just feels like something a high school girl would do.

You do realize how many fanletters he probably gets, ne? Even if you ever do get a response, unless your letter was profoundly unique, it would probably be a printed out response from an assistant or similar
