Do you think Mifune is going to die?

[Ultimate combatant]

I think it`s very possible.

If he dies, I hope he shows some impressive skills!!! :D

[Lady Tsunade]

He's gonna have great speed, strong sword strikes and some evasive ability.

Boring. I hope he dies.

[Yori]

No one significant will die from the Shinobi side until Nagato & Itachi steps on the field, or Sasuke steps on the field.

[Poodle]

I think he will die since he is rather expendable. I admit i was surprised to see him get into the action since he seemed like a neutral noncombatant type. He did seem pretty tough the way he was presented this chapter though.

[Skrall]

I hope to see some unique abilities from Mifune. I wonder what can he do? I really want to know how strong a samurai, correction, a samurai expert can do.

BTW The Shinobi Alliance collapse will only begin, right after either Aoba or Tsunade (or both) step in.

[Gouldy17]

1 thing is almost certain he "shouldnt" be able to use ninjutsu (ninja techniques) although he can control chakra so it should be interesting

[II Xion II]

It's possible. The war has few (none?) named good guy casualties so far. He could serve that purpose. I'm eager to see what he can do against Hanzou!

[JazzJunkie4]

I don't think there is any reason for him to die right now.

[NagatoGod_of_Pain]

I hope that Kishi shows that he's been the leader of the samurai for, I'm assuming, so long because of his ability rather than being wise and diplomatic or of that sort.

It'll be interesting to see what his sword turns into as samurai use their chakra flow to change the shape of their sword (ie: hammers, chainsaws). Should be of the highest grade for the leader of all samurai.

[EvL j3st3r]

I was surprised at this match up. I mean how strong can a Samurai be next to a guy like the salamander? As someone said already.....he shouldn't be able to use ninjutsu and I doubt his taijutsu would be up there with ppl like Gai and Lee's. And even if it was, it still wouldn't be enough to beat Hanzo.

Must be expecting some pretty amazing things from that samurai sword. :lol:

[DeemonFox]

Ninja vs. Samurai in narutoverse. I'm betting hanzo wins, but i can't say mifune will die in the process. There's probably a reason why the ninja were hired to wage the wars.

[deidara330]

Mifune, clearly. He's the leader of the samurai. No way some water dude with a salamander is toping that. Besides, Mifune is much more calm than Hanzo, and more focused. He's going to be the more effective fighter. Chances are he can come up with an effective tactic to outwit Hanzo.

[Kakashi Hatake_Yamato]

theres a great chance he will

[Lady Tsunade]

Hanzo beat all three Sannin when they were in their prime. Jiraiya in his old age crapped himself at the mention of the name. No way Mifune is winning. At least not alone.

[Wooster]

Naah, Mifune isn't going to die. He will likely easily take down Hanzo, at least that is how the battles have been going lately.

[mrsticky005]

No offense to anyone but this battle is essentially

Switzerland vs Poland.

Who? :lol:

Kin/Gin bros, Deidara and Sasori say hi.


Screw you, Sticky! D:

[mrsticky005]

Kin/Gin bros, Deidara and Sasori say hi.


Screw you, Sticky! D:

Kin/Gin bros were just lame.

Deidara and Sasori just couldn't handle the SAI SHAFT!

I was only kidding Wooster. Don't worry I'm not THAT culturally ignorant.

I know who Larry the Cable Guy is. He's from the Jeff Foxworthy show
and I think he has his own show called "Only in America."

But as far as the Tom Cruise guy...doesn't ring a bell.

Sounds like some crazed cult following lunatic. ;)

[Wooster]

He is one bad mother...
SHUT YOUR MOUTH

Good, I am glad we understand one another.
I think he would get along swell with Camping.

Wouldn't they ever?

[Kreegah!!!]

Likrly so.

Mifune wins because he didn't like The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise, and those ninja blokes are so gonna eat it.

[deidara330]

Kin/Gin bros, Deidara and Sasori say hi.They weren't defeated easily. Deidara killed Muta and injured Saji, and Sai recieved some minor damage from Shin's explosion. Meanwhile, Kinkaku and Ginkaku sealed Samui and Atsui, nearly sucked up Darui and brought him almost to the point of collapse (He's not in a good condition to fight), and Kinkaku alone killed dozens on the Alliance's side while dealing injuries to Choza. Just because major characters didn't die doesn't mean it was easy beating them. That would be disregarding all of the effort and preparation that the people who accomplished those victories went through, as well as not acknowledging that the people who won those fights were skilled and intelligent.

Sai Shaft won because he had more skillz. Not because Deidara didn't.

[deidara330]

Sai Shaft won because he had more skillz. Not because Deidara didn't.I'm not saying Deidara didn't have skills. However, Deidara was quite lacking in them in that fight, in that he didn't do anything more than use two concealed bombs (meaning he's clearly never heard of not falling for the same trick twice) and get fooled and beat down. He was cocky, arrogant, and an idiot. Strange as it may sound, he would've done much better when he was alive.

I don't blame the author for that, because it's the way Deidara would've acted in that situation. I blame his character.

Muta and Saji are fodder.

Minor damage, lmao.

Atsui is fodder, Samui just was too cautious. Both are unimportant.

The hell? Darui was in perfectly good condition at the beginning of the fight, unless you think he's a retarded and spent his time jumping off cliffs to obliterate his stamina as much as possible.

Who were generic fodder.

I don't blame the author for that, because it's the way Deidara would've acted in that situation. I blame his character.

He was already cocky and arrogant when he was alive.

The only difference is that Kishi chose for Deidara to be fodder in this battle, hence the sudden stupidness.

[deidara330]

Muta and Saji are fodder.

Minor damage, lmao.

Who were generic fodder.So? Muta still died. Saji still got hit. Atsui and Samui still got captured. The point is, it wasn't easy for them to win. If any individual other than Darui had attempted to fight the brothers solo they would've died very quickly. Also, I meant at the current time, post-battle. Darui's exhuasted, and had most of his chakra drained while suffering injuries. Again, if it were easy for the Alliance, they wouldn't have had people getting killed left and right by one guy, regardless how foddery those people were.He was already cocky and arrogant when he was alive.

The only difference is that Kishi chose for Deidara to be fodder in this battle, hence the sudden stupidness.That only proves it was his fault and not the author's. Give a guy who's cocky, arrogant, and loves explosions immortality and regeneration and tell him to go kill people, that is basically how he acts. Why wouldn't he have acted the way he did, considering his personaliy? He wasn't fodder, either. He killed Muta, and if it weren't for Kankuro's defense, he would've killed Sai and several others by exploding Shin.

Who are all fodder. And yeah, it was.

And yet he was able to use one of the treasures, which required tremendous chakra.

Wut? You are blaming a fictional character when it's the author that completely makes his personality, character, actions, and powers?

You completely lost my point. Deidara had been completely arrogant and cocky when he was alive. Did it change in this battle? No. He was able to take on Sasuke when he was alive, and yet when he died, when nothing about his personality changed, he got rolfstomped by Sai, Kankuro, and some fodders.

Exactly. The guy could have just self destructed and took out a city's amount of enemies, but he couldn't. He wanted to; but he didn't. Why? It's not his fault, unless you believe that a fictional character can make choices over the creator's.

[deidara330]

No, and no it wasn't.

That's what made him exhuasted, seriously.

Wut? You are blaming a fictional character when it's the author that completely makes his personality, character, actions, and powers?

You're supposed to think of characters as doing things on their own. What are you even arguing for? If you can't read a manga without thinking of every single character and item as existing because of the author, and you think of every single action and event as happening because of the author, how do you even read a manga? I'm serious when I ask you what you're arguing for, because if you want to get that technical I don't see how you can even read the manga, and you have to read something before you can call it poorly written.

You completely lost my point. Deidara had been completely arrogant and cocky when he was alive. Did it change in this battle? No. He was able to take on Sasuke when he was alive, and yet when he died, when nothing about his personality changed, he got rolfstomped by Sai, Kankuro, and some fodders.

More like you lost mine. When he fought Sasuke, he wasn't immortal. He could actually die. It's not like getting careless over indefinite regeneration and immortality is somehow a giant personality change for Deidara.

Exactly. The guy could have just self destructed and took out a city's amount of enemies, but he couldn't. He wanted to; but he didn't. Why? It's not his fault, unless you believe that a fictional character can make choices over the creator's.Didn't you read the part where he said he doesn't want his work to lose meaning from overuse? He didn't want to, but he tried anyways, and failed. Of course it's his fault.

I don't know about you, but I read the manga to enjoy it, not to criticize the author. The only way you can really criticize the author is by reading the manga to enjoy it anyways.

[kalmeast]

I don't think there is any reason for him to die right now.

Agree...it's just too early for him to die seeing what he stands for, in this alliance... it'd just mean Kishi doesn't like samurai or something?

But then again, He knows how strong Hanzo is and to challenge him means he got the stuff...

[zerosameri]

He's not going to die :| He has to much of a role right now.

[sasukeuzi]

im surprised tho that he defeated Hanzo tho, his sword style is rlly impressive seeing how he can seal ninjutsu with his Iai. if anything i think that Kishimoto has been waiting since forever to do a sword fight like every other Shonen mangaka

[HachibiXSenpai]

^hanzo ISN'T dead yet.

unless kabuto breaks hanzo's personality then i think mifune won't die

[JazzJunkie4]

^hanzo ISN'T dead yet.

unless kabuto breaks hanzo's personality then i think mifune won't die

umm... hanzo IS dead. Or else he wouldn't be an edo tensei:D
jk I know what you mean.

[Jakropha]

Or Tom Cruise vs. Larry the Cable Guy.

Or Pepsi vs. Coca Cola.

[Wooster]

Naah, Mifune isn't going to die. He will likely easily take down Hanzo, at least that is how the battles have been going lately.
Hey look, I was right.

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

No one significant will die from the Shinobi side until Nagato & Itachi steps on the field, or Sasuke steps on the field.

At that point in time, some random side character chick is brutally injured to the part of near-death, causing for total stomp on the baddies. And the sheet storm continues. Five chapters later, we learn that Tsunade has miraculously saved the random chick with her godly healing.

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

Didn't you read the part where he said he doesn't want his work to lose meaning from overuse? He didn't want to, but he tried anyways, and failed. Of course it's his fault.

I don't know about you, but I read the manga to enjoy it, not to criticize the author. The only way you can really criticize the author is by reading the manga to enjoy it anyways.

Who's this Atsui? Who's this Samui? Nobody important. They could have been generic fodder for all, and no one would have cared if they died.

And when had Deidara been obsessive about immortality. Last I checked, he was an art fanatic, not Orochimaru Bill O'Reilly.

Lol for blaming a fictional character.

And if I can't enjoy it?

[deidara330]

Lol for blaming a fictional character....? Why would you read a work of fiction and then blame every single action that any character has ever done on the author? When I read fiction I seperate from it the fact that someone in real life is creating it and controlling every aspect of it, so I have a difficult time understanding why you think that. I'd say "Lolwut" but I'm more confused than amused, so just "Wut".
