to be honest in the manga they skipped this whole fight so i'm glad to see it.

ya kinda >.<

Seems like they've been showing Kid Kakashi and Rin a lot more recently. Also this bs about "if it's to protect my friends, my power is practically limitless" thing is retarded. I guess that'll be the explanation as to why Kakashi can spam MS now and all that.

Yeah, basically. It has been made clear a while ago and it only becomes ever more clear that logic has been completely thrown out the window in this story. Kishi is going anywhere he wants with it giving whatever reasons he sees fit.

the will of fire

So sad to see the story get explained like this. But whatever, I'm still a fan.

It does suck because Naruto never really felt like one of those "because it is" stories. What I mean by that is that they always had good explanation in terms of characters' abilities and the events that occurred. DBZ is one of those "because it is" animes. Why was Gohan able to overpower Cell with only one arm? He just was. Why were the power levels of every character adjusted so conveniently each time a new villain came across? They just were.

Bleach is another example. Byakuya, for example, loses to Ichigo on the first day the latter gets his bankai, and doesn't really know how to use it all that well. Yet, somehow, Byakuya is able to almost effortlessly defeat 2 Espada, something that Ichigo had serious problems doing even after a supposed huge powerup with the mask. Why? Because he just was.

Naruto usually provided us with explanations for things like this. As of late, not at all. Kakashi can now endlessly spam his MS. Madara pulls the final Susanoo out and it's nowhere near anything that resembles impactful, where it really could have been with the right context.

If I'm not mistaken, Naruto kinda blocked Madara's Susano stick or something. Wtf is up with that one? Lol. Series seems to be going downhill, but I'm too far in it to just quit it.
