If you are also a two-dimensional lover with a long experience of chasing Japanese manga, you will know that many years ago, "One Piece" could only rank second in the country, and what really haunted the domestic anime fans was Kishimoto's "Naruto" ---
But the saying goes: "How deeply you love, how intense the hatred will be."
Although there is no strange change in perception when judging "Naruto" from my personal point of view, for a larger number of domestic anime fans, "Naruto" seems to have become a mainstream recognized fact.
Even now in 2020, there are still endless anime self-media people who use the theme of "bad tails" to create articles, and the amount of reading seems to be quite large, enough to mark it as one of the "cool points of Naruto fans---
Of course, the discussion on the Internet is a discussion, even if the self-media people who write the article are professional, they can only speculate on the possibility of bad endings from various so-called "technical perspectives", and it is impossible to exhaust the essence of the truth.
But just recently, the truth about the rotten end of "Naruto" has finally been revealed to the world.
All this thanks to the credit of Japanese netizens, thanks to their re-removal of the information kishimoto Kishimoto interviewed in the early years, we can peek into the panorama of the truth (Note: If you really feel bad, then the following can give you the answer, but if you don't feel rotten, then take a look at it as supplementary knowledge)
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >01</h1>
As can be seen from the screenshot of the Japanese media report above, Kishimoto Kishi once solemnly emphasized such a thing: "I only really understood the 'way of manga' on the eve of the end of the "Naruto" series."
Remember the important time node of "Eve", which represents that Kishimoto had a sublimation of the ideological dimension before and after the end of "Naruto". This situation is like the end of the play "Nezha's Demon Boy Descending" Nezha knows Li Jing's dedication to himself and instantly washes away, or in "Jiang Ziya" Jiang Taigong learns that everything is a Tianzun conspiracy and firmly embarks on the road of slaughtering gods.
I believe that for Kishimoto Kishimoto before and after understanding the "Way of Manga", his ability to create manga must also have a gap of day by day, or some of his early creations will even become childish in kishimoto's eyes after enlightenment, which has the meaning of "black history---
However, no matter how Kishimoto's thoughts are sublimated, the time node he is at at this moment is the moment when "Naruto" is about to end the coffin, and we also know that the plot line of a work (especially a long work) is a whole body.
This also means that even if Kishimoto really felt that "Naruto" was suspected of being a rotten end, he was also lacking in his skills at that time, and could only obediently end his debut and popularity work according to the predetermined trajectory route---
Of course, more seriously, the so-called bad tail is not only kishimoto's unique encounter.
In fact, a large number of popular manga masters, including Eiichiro Oda, Hiroo Hiroshi, Kubo Daijin, and Shimabukuro Mitsune, have also been hung up by anime fans under the banner of "bad tail".
Teacher Xu Feigang's "Prince of Tennis" is not much to say, since the second series, tennis matches have evolved into sci-fi confrontations, and in the recent plot, we even saw ninjutsu that resembled "Naruto", which seems to bring about a plot against aliens.
For "Death" and "Prisoner of Food", the most criticized by netizens is the "collapse of ability", the original extremely strong character said that selling melons sells melons, and the creators lack the ability to use the plot to persuade readers to accept---
So in my opinion, if you really think that Naruto is a bad ending, then please don't take the blame too much on Kishimoto Kishimoto. After all, for normal Japanese comic creators, controlling a huge work that has lasted for more than ten years, the rotten end is the right thing to do, and those that are not rotten are blessed with miracles!
Moreover, economists often say to us that "sunk costs are not costs", it describes the things that have passed and let them pass, and we should focus on the possibilities of future development.
That is to say, the plot of "Naruto" can only become the "victim" of Kishimoto Gokudo, which is no way to do it, but for Kishimoto Kishimoto, who is still young and strong, we can expect him to continue to bring us japanese manga masterpieces after Enlightenment, and continue to raise the quality ceiling of The Long Series of The Day.
So, would The bad ending of Naruto be a sad thing?
What the? Your answer is still yes? In your opinion, Kishimoto's "Enlightenment" is just an excuse to excuse The Rotten End of Naruto? And your basis is that Kishimoto's new work "Samurai 8: The Legend of Hachimaru" was tragically beheaded?
I certainly don't ignore the fact that Samurai 8 was cut off at the beginning of this year, which has been serialized for less than a year, but even so, I think that kishimoto kishiki history is no longer the kishimoto history of the past.
Or more accurately, "Samurai 8" was not deserved, on the contrary, it is a pity, and its early ending is definitely a big loss in the Japanese manga industry!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >02. Kishimoto's manga approach, can you laugh at it? </h1>
Samurai 8 takes place in an alternate world constructed by artificial intelligence and samurai, and in summary, he describes the growth of a young boy who has been seriously ill since birth (needs to rely on bulky equipment to maintain his life, and will die within 3 minutes of leaving).
Because of a series of encounters, he finally got rid of the heavy life support device, and resolutely embarked on a road to defend world peace, and finally became a hero of the world---
On the surface, this is just an inspirational story, but as long as we taste it, it is not difficult to find that the plot is mixed with Kishimoto Kishi's "private goods", and it can even be said that he has harmonized the so-called "Tao".
For example, shortly after the beginning of the manga, Kishimoto borrowed the dog-shaped creature Dama to say something like this: "The knife does not come out of its sheath, how do you know whether it is profitable or not!" ”
This is both his teaching of the protagonist, Yamaru, to become a samurai, and kishimoto's determination to dare to cut into a whole new field of manga creation---
If you know anything about Kishimoto's resume, you should know that before Naruto, Kishimoto had planned to create samurai manga, but at that time, there were already two works in the Japanese manga industry that could be called the ceiling of the samurai genre, "Ranger Sword Heart" and "Infinite Resident".
Therefore, the fledgling Kishimoto Kishi had to avoid its sharp edge, chose the ninja field where the market was relatively blank for deep cultivation, and unexpectedly became a writer of the Japanese manga hall.
However, the idea of creating samurai manga never left Kishimoto's mind, and he also began to create "Samurai 8" immediately after the end of "Naruto", or more accurately, after the understanding of the manga path, hoping to complete the desire of his debut---
In fact, more seriously, the plot of "Samurai 8" is not bad, Kishimoto just buried too much foreshadowing in the early stage of the plot to make the pace of the story slightly slower (it can be seen that Kishimoto intends to create a huge work).
However, "non-fast food is original sin" is the background of this era, so with the passage of time, the order of "Samurai 8" has continued to decline, and finally has to face the disposal of waist beheading.
Therefore, in my opinion, rather than saying that the waist slash of Samurai 8 is a manifestation of Kishimoto Kishimoto's talent, it is more like saying that this is just an attempt to rub shoulders with the needs of readers after Kishimoto Goido---
At this moment, Kishimoto Kishi is no longer the little hairy child of 20 years ago who would shrink because of the giant in front of him.
Adhering to the two-way concept of "the sword is not sheathed, how to know whether it is profitable or not" and "if you want to become a machine attendant, you must have the consciousness of death", he will inevitably continue to bring us the output of new works in the near future.
With the lessons of Samurai 8, I believe Kishimoto should also be able to balance the needs of readers and the connotation of the plot, and then the true power of his "manga way" should also have the possibility of being fully interpreted.
Such a master of daily comics, how can you casually laugh at them?
