Talk:Green Arrow VS Hawkeye/@comment-24281142-20151121010552

Hey guys. Remember that one time I made a rant on all the Gaara VS Toph hate? Well, I'm back now to make another on a similar subject now. One that Metabro from Screwattack inspired me to do. The subject in question?

Naruto VS Ichigo

So I've seen a lot of hate towards this idea for a while now, along with ye ol' "Naruto VS Luffy and Ichigo VS Yusuke are better!", and honestly... Why?

While they may have a false rivalry, Naruto's with Luffy is THE EXACT SAME, and be honest here; how often do you hear people talk about Yusuke's with Ichigo outside of here, ESPECIALLY in comparison to Naruto and Ichigo. They're from the same Shonen generation, so that makes sense.

Oh, they don't have any similarities? That's wrong, plain and simple.

So people say that Bleach was like a YuYu ripoff when it first started for their similar plots. But honestly, Naruto has a lot of the same similarities minus the ghost world thing. They both have similar character casts and other shonen protag qualities. And while that argument could also be made for Luffy, here's what makes them different from the Strawhat Pirate.


 * They spam their soul-based moves


 * The two series have a much more spiritual lore than One Piece


 * Chakra and Reiryoku are a lot more comparable to each in capabilities than Haki


 * They have blades in their fighting styles


 * They're affiliated to highly trained and disciplined organizations


 * And then there's of course the "monsters inside" thing, which is the real meat of it all.

And Pirates VS Ninjas? Internet meme... Not even a relevant one at that. Meanwhile Samurai VS Ninja is much more historical, as the interlude to Hayabusa VS Hiryu tells us.

Finally, it's a way closer match than Naruto VS Luffy. I'd imagine that considering how all you people react to stomp matches, you'd be loving Ichigo over Luffy.

Rant over.
