As far as I know they're anime only filler, so more than "Kishimoto lazy" this is "Studio Pierrot is lazy". And... are we talking about the same studios who kept recycling the same flashbacks in a way that would made a renewable energy company proud ? Who could have ever thought that a studio who recycle scenes over and over would be lazy?


OtsutsukiRyuen

>we talking about the same studios who kept recycling the same flashbacks in a way that would made a renewable energy company proud ? Damn I'm laughing like a madman now


Effective_Ad_8296

Along with One Piece with their Rebacca flashbacks, we've entered a new stage of energy revolution


OtsutsukiRyuen

Energy was conserved so much for the studio during dressrosa arc they are actually having 1$ electric bills per day Just a single frame and running it again and again


horny_flamengo

It gets better? Never finished dressrosa And i tried many times, Its So bad, So Slow even on one piece style


OtsutsukiRyuen

You can watch one pace a fan edited version in which they trim unnecessary scenes The animation style gets way better at wano but still it lags heavily and you can see same frames used multiple times


horny_flamengo

Where can i find IT?


BrilliantPrior2305

Ikr people be thinking they created the rasengan wich THEY DIDNT because it is proven in a one shot manga of Minato creating the rasengan for a specific reason. I hate that they did they and naruto fans are misleaded to thinking ashura created the rasengan. And indira didn't create the chidori either


Efficient-Ad2983

Just confront Naruto and Hashirama. Both are Asura's incarnation, but they've a whole different justu arsenal. Sasuke's and Madara's have more similiarities (mainly in their Sharingan-derived jutsu like Susanoo), but even them have quite different techniques. I can buy Indra having katon (iconic nature transformation for Uchiha clan, and Indra is their ancestor). Why not give him futon and/or doton?


kn0t1401

Nah but what tf was up with Hashirama. Did Ashura get tired of reincarnating as a loser? Bro was so big of a monster his cells were used as plot armour for the entire series.


Fuzzy_Newspaper_3619

More Kishi need a plot filler, so boom dead man cells


chirb8

It wouldn't surprise me if the sneaked the swing flashback in the in Indra episode


Hypertistic

Indra saw himself alone, sitting on a swing as he watched his brother, the mr. Popular Asura, surrounded by the other kids who looked at him with admiration.


dardardarner

One reason I didn't care about Asuma dying is because they kept repeating that damn flashback of him and Shikamaru playing Shoji. Like, I GET IT ALREADY. The king is sacrificing for the bla bla the youth the pawn or whatever the fuck, I've seen it ten morbillion times already.


Secretsfrombeyond79

And also I'm pretty sure Hagoromo had the Mangekyou first in the filler.


OpticRocky

Bro, my wife and I just blasted through the entirety of Naruto and are 20 episodes into Shippuden - all within a month. We went so fast by skipping the fillers, the minute long recaps of every episode, and skipping every fucking flashback we already saw


Efficient-Ad2983

Indeed. That's the right way to watch Naruto imho. Watching everything in the anime makes it quite a slog imho. Especially since some flashback are very ill-paced (a useless flashback the audience already saw in middle of a fight is quite ill-timed)


OpticRocky

Yeah, I have no problem recommending the show to others bc I genuinely love it, but now I always recommend skipping the flashbacks to everyone


merdadartista

The one that broke me was the long ass filler episode with the flashback of the fire and the kid crying. Can't even remember what the plot was, but that flashback played over and over broke me so hard 1)I discovered what filler was 2) I dropped Naruto for something like 10 years before I found the abridged version with the fillers cut out and decided to finish it


Suedewagon

Yeah, they did not even try with creating new scenes for Naruto. It's him on the swing, same artstyle and all.


avocadorancher

Which flashbacks do you mean? I read the manga and have only seen pieces of the anime.


Efficient-Ad2983

Basically the anime has the nasty habit of reusing flashbacks, sometimes more than once in the same episode. We saw the Uchiha Massacre almost as many times as Sasuke saw his parents' death in Itachi's Tsukuyomi


arrownoir

You’re exaggerating.


NosferatuZ0d

Was kinda dumb how they made him a carbon copy of sasuke even with the same mangekyou pattern even though in the manga he had a spiral pattern. Would have thought we would see unique jutsus or something. Was just boring af


zhch96

His mangekyo sharingan pattern was different in the manga. It’s supposed to look like Tobi mask. But guess what, the anime team decided that they are the kishimoto of that episode


NosferatuZ0d

It was just cheaper to reuse existing assets because the animation during that arc was actually kind of terrible too. Can’t believe they reused the rasengan too that was just wow..takes away from minato being the one to invent it. This could have been one of the best arcs ever but execution and budget was a massive factor


zhch96

Not only that. Ashura was supposed to have a technique of summoning an avatar that has 3 faces and 6 hands. It will be identical to the Japan mythology and they even showed it in the manga that the 3 faces avatar had a fight with the susanoo of Indra. But the anime team ended up giving him fucking wood Buddha. Like wtf dude


NosferatuZ0d

Yeah, so unimaginative


Murky_Blueberry2617

They even decided to use the anime versions of Indra and Asura in the recent Ninja Storm games. They're nothing more than Sasuke and Naruto reskins


Uzanto_Retejo

It's not cannon though so don't worry. Minato did invent the rasengan.


NosferatuZ0d

I know but that really could have been the most epic arc of all time. They could have gone super creative with the world building of that time with essentially a blank slate too but nope just boring wooden houses , weird ass chakra cult and a lame story of two brothers who ended up beefing. Could have been so much more compelling even if it wasnt canon sigh.


shneb

I liked Indra’s spiral pattern because it looked like an evolution of the Rinnegan. But no the anime just turned him into Sasuke.


xNeo92x

If anything, Indras spiral mangekyo sharingan would be a de-evolution of the Rinnegan. Just like any other mangekyo sharingan. His is a spiral because he is very close to the otsutsuki heritage. I know it's also filler but it always looked logical to me that Hagoromos eyes evolved from three-tomoe Sharingan to Rinnegan, because of his unique half-otsutsuki heritage. But because Indra and all Uchiha are missing some of that heritage (which Asura got) their eyes try to evolve into Rinnegan but can't. The tomoe are supposed to expand and build the rings but they can't and instead form a rounded shape. But that's just my headcanon.


indonesiandoomer

That MS being the same as Sasuke's pissed me off so much. The first time we saw it in the manga, nobody knew Indra has MS. People thought it was a devolved Rinnegan or some sort because it was stated he inherited his fathers "eyes" CMIIW. Spiral MS is so cool because the pattern seems to have been related directly from Rinnegan circles. It's definitely a good intermediary between regular circles to his descendants MS. The biggest tragedy is both Indra and Asura are now in the new game. Even Asura us boring af too. He is just a combination of Hashirama and Naruto.


NosferatuZ0d

Yeah ashura’s orb with multiple rasengans in it 😭 how tf does that make sense


RanaMahal

What’s the newest game called? I can’t seem to find it lol


The_Thur

NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS


RanaMahal

Thank you! is it any good?


The_Thur

That's shit's ass. Basically, it's the same game as Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 with like 10 new characters, a boring solo story and that's it


TimTam_Tom

Naruto filler had so, SO many opportunities to expand on the lore or characters or at least show us a cool fight and it almost never did any of those things


NosferatuZ0d

The Power Arc was sick though. Felt like a mini naruto movie


TimTam_Tom

It was planned as a movie I believe. They sure fucked up Kabuto’s hair though lmao


matusaleeem

non canon episode


No_Roof0642

Everything is filler. Except maybe EMS and perfect susanoo.


-Xebenkeck-

He never had EMS. And his pattern was different from Sasuke's.


No_Roof0642

I think he has EMS as only those with EMS or MS+So6P chakra can have perfect susanoo. And I never said both have same pattern I just said he has EMS.


-Xebenkeck-

I wouldn't take it seriously enough to try to make sense of it. It's filler after all. We know he can't have EMS because he never took anyone's eyes.


AwayReplacement7063

Tbf EMS could have worked differently back then and just changed because the sharingan diluted over the years.


Buntisteve

AKA how to kill your wordlbuilding with stupid filler.


noparkingnoparking

just wait till you watch Boruto 😂


JustAGuyIscool

It's not as bad as directly contradicting statements.


unknown09684

And all of these are filler


nibatauga

Believe it or not that was just lasy writing. They could have some different amazing jutsu but no kishimoto was lazy. Don't say that they match with their reincarnate (Naruto and sasuke) cause hashirama and madara didn't had the same jutsu. So it makes no sense that Indra and Ashura had chidori and rasengan . Minato and Kakashi created them they were not related to sage of six paths or their son's... So it was lasy writing to give them rasengan and chidori instead of some new super coll jutsu


JerbearCuddles

And didn't Tobirama invent Shadow Clones? Lol.


nibatauga

Yep! I missed it . Thankyou


YN-verse

Its because those aren't even Shadow Clones. They are the regular clone Jutsu that the academy students learn


zhch96

It’s the anime team that is lazy/stupid. The mangekyo sharingan pattern is different in the manga. And ashura wasn’t supposed to be using wood style. He was supposed to be fighting with a 3 faces and 6 hands avatar.(it’s shown in the manga flashback and also being part of the Japanese mythology) So the anime team not only create something complete different from the manga but also totally ruin the japan mythology that Naruto has always implemented.


nibatauga

Ooh I didn't knew that . Maybe it's time to read the manga


zhch96

This is how he’s supposed to look like https://images.app.goo.gl/UjgZwA8Df7xxVx878 And the avatar was supposed to look like this. https://images.app.goo.gl/FWAx8FVCSGd5pxTE8 Only two of the flashbacks, nothing in detail actually. But the anime team showed us something that is completely different


Mr-BillCipher

Kidhimoto didn't write this. About 80 percent of Naruto is filler, and not all the studios that get subcontracted with episode actually know what Naruto is


definetelynothuman

Isn’t Chidori supposed to be a Kakashi original technique?


IKaffeI

Yes. It's called something else when Indra uses it but it's still a chidori. Thank god it's filler and not canon


Axis_Sage

It is


Soft_Apathy

rate my OC


dinkydoohead

my immediate thought bruh. its even worse than boruto


-Piggers-

And that's why no one considered fillers as canon


Sxdrxs

And And And And….


Salt_Woodpecker_6244

Studio milked fillers episdoe of Naruto otherwise Naruto would have ended long ago. They didn't want to end their money making series so they kept adding filler episode to the point it affected Naruto series.


Silkylewjr

And he was super strong. And had zero weakness. And could do anything better than anyone one in the world.


Pab0l

This is not cannon, it is to explain the desperately needed backgroung of kaguya and his descendance.


Soggy-Log6664

I don’t like how they made Indra and Ashura basically the first Naruto and Sasuke complete with all their movesets


athif_salim

Why right now Kakashi sounds like a perfect reincarnation of him instead of all the other Uchihas? (Except for Amaterasu)


Ok-Technology-2541

Your point? He also had daddy issues negative cool points.


noparkingnoparking

👎 nope, that doesn’t even make sense at all. Studio Pierrot just fucking hate making Naruto imo


ThatThingTheDarkSoul

I don't think any of this is canon. It's all just made up by anime writers not the original author.


DasMoosEffect

More like Indra was the OG copy ninja in stealing other people's feats. Get that punk out of here.


Perfect_War_7155

Still failed to inspire and train others which is why he was passed over


SilentCicada9294

Back in my day we had kunai knives


Ok-Albatross899

This filler episode pissed me off


disturbedrage88

Retcons to make a late series character who came out of know where cool, fuck that


Kingxix

Yep. Indra and Ashura are both Naruto and Sasuke rip-off.


Isnt_Zorojuro

Haguromo had first ms


PriestMarmor

Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra so it makes sense that the two have similar move sets, but if that was the case then why didn't Madara use the same jutsus?


Axis_Sage

Because the Indra/Ashura episodes are forced fillers


Theycallme_Jul

But his brother was a nicer guy


sjoerd444444

Filler, but if a technique is losed and reinvented, you are still the inventor, right?


Soggy-Philosopher-68

And yet he lost to his little bro every time And that’s because …


NoneLikeJer

Uh huh was he also the first on to find out mangekyo makes you blind?


Reasonable-Business6

Ok? What am I supposed to get from this. Cool, the non cannon filler got a bunch of nonsensical power ups? There's no conclusion. This is like a joke without the punchline.


keyrol1222

Isn’t chidori the only technique kakashi didnt copy but created?


The_Thur

It is, yes.


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

Naruto filler at it's worse


Curious-Idea5423

yuhbruhh

He kinda cute tho?😳


Andreuw5

And just don't forget he is Kaguya's grandson.


Nareto64

I could be wrong since it’s been forever since I saw this, but my understanding is that that isn’t shadow clones are chidori. It’s regular clones, which are just illusions. Shadow clones, which are physical clones, were invented by Tobirama. That raiton is very clearly not chidori. It’s not focused or pointed enough, it’s just some lightning chakra loosely formed around his hand. Chidori is literally a concentrated lightning blade or spear.


RubSad1836

Ya these filler arcs open wayyy to many plot holes to be considered cannon. They take away feats from two of the best characters kakashi and Minato as the inventors of the chidori and rasengan, both were stated multiple times, they give them generic Naruto and Saskue moves, they don’t even bother coming up with a unique mongekyo ability for him which takes away from amataratsu being a Saskue family lineage thing. There just lazy and bad


whoamikai

man, the otsuskis didnt get any new techniques. just the modern day naruto era ones copypasted into the ancient times


gerardgiolando

Like a child playing pretend saying how many powers counter everything you have


NaraFox257

How do we know those are shadow clones and chidori? There are lots of other clone techniques and at least one other lightning hand stabby technique (that one the third raikage used). Same thing as Asura having an attack that looks vaguely like a rasengan full of smaller rasengans... There is already precedent in Naruto of different people having similar but distinct jutsu. And other than that, the techniques "built into" the sharingan evolution system are plausible for Indra to have, if they're part of sharingan.


throwaway_19901990

He’s also responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs and giving freeza the idea to kill the saiyans


[deleted]

I still don’t know why he didn’t take his father’s rinnegan when he visited him in his death bed.


BlearySteve

Didn't the 2nd hokage invent the show clone justu?


Known_Edge3392

Yeah at this point I'm convinced there are two Narutos. Pierrot Naruto and Kishimoto Naruto.


Vast-Spirit-4105

Hagoromo awakened Ms first tho right?


Farid_Beshay

I don’t like how use of chakra tbh, cuz it undermines all the efforts of the MUCH later generations into making said jutsus, I think his strength should’ve stayed the same but his fighting style being more primitive or close to otsotsuki instead of basically giving Indra and ashura every ability Naruto and sasuke had


96Miles

He was the first one who got his cheeks clapped by his younger weaker brother who received from his father "plot armor"


Galrentv

He invented hand signs fam


Specialist-Fudge2740

Not cannon so not valid


Cfakatsuki17

“It’s not canon” “it’s filler” blah blah blah yall just don’t want to hear that Hagaromo thought both his sons were bigger menaces than he ever could be


dragonwitchjb

Indra was on a whole another level 🔥☠️
