Naruto

Ankos seal was used to revive orochimaru, not too different then a horcrux if you're a harry potter reader. It is insinuated that she died from what I understand, but I guess the argument could be made that she's unconscious (as unlikely as that is).

Yamato got captured ages ago and was used on that tree old madara used to sit in front of to strengthen zetsu army. Now that said army is gone, not surprised they're using his body for senju techniques.

Bee better be dead or everything means nothing in this manga.

Did I miss any one?

[RedRed]

Bee better be dead or everything means nothing in this manga.

He hasn't had a flash back yet, so I doubt he's dead.

[Abandon]

bee had his flashback ages ago

[Serif]

bee had his flashback ages ago

Wait I thought one of the Octopus legs was still out there?

[Ayn]

Bee's not dead.

Black don't crack.

[Salodin]

Said octopus leg was used to revive the 10tails. Now the rest of 8tails was taken.

Only unaccounted for piece of bijuu is the one being implanted into Naruto now.

[Tymon]

Bee is too developed of a character to die without a big heap of wordy explanations.

Literally every character to die in this series that isn't either fodder or relatively unimportant (Anko would fall into this category) has had massive amounts of content poured on them at their death.

Neji, Jiraiya, Kakashi (lol) etc

[Retrieving/C.D/Searain]

Didn't the 8-tails cut one of his tentacles upon being pulled into Madara? Betcha he's in there.

EDIT: yup

[ronin sparthos]

He's just waiting to pop out and Lariat Madara's head off his body.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

EDIT: yup

Didn't notice that. 8 chapters and we still don't know what happened to Bee, even though since then Naruto is already almost back in the game, and Sasuke went up against Madara, lost, and is about to be revived. Cmon Kishi...

[Fwahm]

Huh? Dragonball is like the prime example of a manga about birthright and lineage lol. Midway through the series if you ain't saiyan you ain't shit lol.

I was talking about within their species, as having entire races of stronger warriors is a bit different from the "chosen one" or "your father is the xth strongest in the world" type stuff in most manga that give the protagonist a strong lineage. Goku was naturally stronger than his friends because he was a saiyan, but he was the son of a low class warrior, and consistently surpassed Vegeta, the prince of their race, solely due to his training methods and hard work.

But to be fair, Gohan and Goten and Trunks were strong because of who their fathers were.

If you do your research, you'll see that Bardock's team was targeted and eliminated because it was thought at the time that his power level at the end of his last mission was higher than that of King Vegeta. That's why he ended up in the situation he did. Also notice he put up far better of a fight against Frieza's forces than did King Vegeta, i.e., having my men all obliterated when trying to stop it, vs me single-handedly destroying THOUSANDS of Frieza's men before being "destroyed" by the biggest projectile Frieza is ever shown using. and i say "destroyed" because in the later shit with Bardock, it shows him as a Super Saiyan killing the ancestor of Frieza/Cooler/King Cold. Yup. google that shit, niggas. Bardock was that nigga.

[Fwahm]

Yeah, but he was still a low class warrior. He got strong because of all his battle experience and near death powerups, the same reason (to a much, much, MUCH lesser extent) that Goku got strong. They both got strong (at least relatively, in Bardock's case), due to what they did, and not how they were born.

[Vaspinne]

Wow, all this DBZ talk is so interesting. Good thing we're in a DBZ based thread. I also like how DBZ is still a currently on-going series and hasn't been finished for so many years.

[AoE]

Dat sarcasm, doe.

[Xno Kappa]

Mystic Gohan was the strongest dragonball character of all time sans fusion bs. Come at me.

[Fwahm]

At least until Bills!

[kareface]

You know who's strong because of all the hard work he did and not his lineage (that we know of). Ippo.

Dbz's more interesting than what's going on on naruto. All that screaming and powerups and dbz still finished fights faster than this.
