If he's already around Raditz's level, why not just blow up the moon? It's not like destroying it would trigger some apocalyptic disaster. The moon only existed for about a thousand years before the start of Naruto, so the planet clearly managed just fine without it. And even if Kaguya somehow survives that, she'd be nowhere near as strong as the version we saw during the Fourth Great Ninja War. That Kaguya only came back after absorbing Madara and inheriting all the chakra of the Divine Tree. Without those massive boosts, she'd be significantly weaker and a lot easier to deal with. As for the Karma seal, I honestly don't understand why so much of the fandom treats it like an unbeatable win condition. At the end of the day, it's basically a more advanced version of a jinchuriki seal or Orochimaru's cursed seal. Naruto entered his mindscape to confront Kurama. Sasuke confronted Orochimaru inside his own consciousness. Boruto regularly talks to Momoshiki in his mental space. On top of that, Dragon Ball fighters have been entering their own mindscapes through meditation for decades. Even Frieza figured out how to do it without anyone teaching him. And if Peppe somehow turns out to be terrible at meditation, he can always take a trip to Turtle Island and learn properly. So why not handle Karma the same way? Enter the mindscape, find Kaguya's soul, and erase it before the resurrection process can finish. And if she's somehow still too strong to kill outright, then beat her into submission until she stops being a problem. It's not like the Otsutsuki have been shown to be truly immortal anyway. Isshiki is completely gone in Boruto, with no backup resurrection waiting in the wings, and Kawaki is running around with his powers. At this point, it feels like Peppe is treating Kaguya as a much bigger obstacle than she actually is. If the protagonist is already operating at early Saiyan Saga levels of power, there should be half a dozen ways to shut this entire problem down long before it ever becomes a serious crisis.
Gas masks literally exist in Naruto, but I guess Danzo is a cheapskate.
Seriously, this arc feels so forced. What's stopping Rimuru from just flying off and healing in Africa or Asia? Or did the church get glazed so hard that they can now somehow stop a 30 cm slime from flying 5 kilometers up and leaving whenever he wants? Come on.
Yes, because he would have memories of his past life where he would have seen people who are far more miserable like in the news, in his entourage, etc... And yet I doubt he would have done the same thing for them as he did for Naruto.
Where the hell is this martyr complex coming from? The guy sees one kid having a rough time and suddenly starts acting like he's personally responsible for saving the entire world. What's next? Is he going to start feeling sorry for Itachi and give us a speech about how tragic it was that he "had no choice" but to slaughter his entire clan? Then when Obito shows up, is Ryuji going to spend three chapters explaining that he was only acting that way because he lost the love of his life and deserves a second chance? Seriously, did Ashura's chakra secretly infect him or something? Did Jiraiya get to him off-screen and fill his head with that "everyone deserves understanding so we can break the cycle of hatred" nonsense? Because this doesn't even feel like the same character anymore. At the beginning of the story, Ryuji was pretty clear about what he wanted. Before recovering his memories, his goal was simple: become rich, become famous, and enjoy life. After getting his system, that should have become even easier. Instead, every chapter seems to push him further toward becoming some self-sacrificing hero who can't stop getting emotionally invested in everyone else's problems. And that's what bothers me. It's not that becoming a better person is inherently bad. The problem is that character development is supposed to have a cause. You don't go from "I want money, status, and an easy life" to "I must carry everyone's burdens" because you saw one kid struggling for a few minutes. The worst part is that the story barely acknowledges how drastic the change is. If Ryuji had gradually become attached to the people around him over dozens of chapters, I'd understand it. Instead, it feels like the author quietly swapped out his personality and hoped nobody would notice. Honestly, if I compare the current Ryuji to the guy from Chapter 1, they barely feel related. Earlier, he was pragmatic, ambitious, and focused on his own future. But currently, Ryuji acts like he's auditioning to be Naruto's replacement. At this point, if the author revealed that he'd been body-snatched by a completely different soul after getting the system, I'd probably find that explanation easier to believe than this personality shift.
I was about to say "Why the hell is he still alive?!", but then I remembered that in this timeline the Kumo ninja was killed by Hiromi, not Hiashi. Good job to the author for remembering this.
Honestly, if I were him, I would have done the same. Well, that or go completely crazy and use Susanoo to rampage through the village and hopefully kill Hiruzen or at least someone that is important before fully destroying my body to avoid Edo Tensei.
