Maybe she DOESN'T have combat abilities? I mean, sure, she has lots of chakra and she certainly knows ways of using it, but does she even know how to throw a punch? Those are different things.
Well she threw a punch made of chakra. :P I agree it's unlikely she's a trained fighter, since she's not actually a ninja. But with all these characters comparing her to god and saying she's the strongest person ever, I'd expect her to do a bit more godly smiting: you know, lightning bolts and fireballs or whatever. At the moment it just seems like she's not actually trying.
harem no jutsu: You would think the potential end of the world would not be a suitable time to make a joke, then again it may be the perfect time. It was funny and since this is typical of Kishi's sense of humor I didn't let it affect my opinion of the chapter. I can't ever see Naruto straying too far from his goofy personality even if he becomes Hokage.
EDIT: I recognize Sai and Juugo. But is that Sasuke I see all the way on the left side? Could account for the slightly annoyed look on his face, though Sasuke always looks slightly annoyed.
Sasuke:And to think Sasuke went along with this is even funnier. I think it means he trusts Naruto, which is a big step for his character
( ... )
They do look at lot like Sai and Juugo don't they? XD
I admit I don't like Kaguya very much, mostly because I feel like she was a last minute addition to the story. She isn't mentioned or hinted at earlier than chapter 646. Compare with Obito who first technically appeared on the cover of chapter 16(?) and Madara, whose statue was shown back in part one - both ages before they appeared. I also feel like though she's the last villain, she's not actually the main villain as I can't really see how she can top that fact that Madara killed both the heroes.
I also feel like she has no personality, but respect that the only way to give her one is for Kishi to write about her more. Anyway, I agree we need to know more.
Obito: I'm actually pleased he is still alive. Now we have someone who should be able to travel between Kaguya's dimensions.Ooh I didn't think of kamui being used that way! That could be very interesting. It would also be kind of ironic if Obito and Madara (he can't be gone for good - Hashirama is still around and
( ... )
I'm kind of torn on Kaguya actually being distracted by it. On the one hand, it does seem out of place for an epic battle like this. OTOH, both this and Sakura's reaction to Naruto's earlier modification of SnJ portray women as being just as interested in sex as men are, which I think is a positive thing.
It is a positive thing. But I guess I feel that because Naruto never tried something like this technique on Obito or Madara (people can say what they like about it not working, but I think the enemy turning into a bunch of naked girls would be absurd enough to give even Madara a moment's pause) that it's trivializing Kaguya. Like Kishi wanted those two to be taken seriously, but with Kaguya he doesn't care.
I laughed at the sexy no jutsu, though I also felt a bit embarrassed (I have become more prudish over the years. It's just that my gut reaction has changed.) Also I thought: One chapter mainly for one silly joke. I mean, not much else happened. Sasuke and Naruto again tried to seal her but did not manage. Apparently they know how to seal her once they have defeated her, but they don't know how to defeat her. The most exciting event was their separation. I wonder what will happen in the next chapter.
Thanks for the review. I thought the Harem no Justu was ridiculous but I spend time trying to figure out if any of the guys were actual characters in the Naruto universe, lol. Looks like Juugo and Sai are in there!
Anyhow, I agree with rouge_angle in regards to her assessment of Kaguya and how empty she is as a character and villain. But maybe we will find out differently soon. Now that the Naruto and Sasuke are separated, we will be able to see their abilities for real.
