Bleh, I was wrong, according to more recent translations, Naruto's newest seen Rasengan is a real new one. It's translated by OneManga SleepyFans and it translates to:

Sage Art: Cho Odama Rasengan:

Here Naruto only uses Sage Art: Odama Rasengan,

so yeah it's a big difference. Cho translates to "Super" or "Ultra" and of course Odama means "Great" or "Giant." So basically Naruto used the same Rasengan this time that Jiraiya used on Preta Path. Jiraiya never said "Sage Art" before he used his though, but it's implied that it's the only way he made it so big...

But yeah, Naruto's newest rasengan is about x2 the size of the ones he used on Pain's summons, it might be the fact that he split the rasengans into two hands vs two summons so the size was also split too? Anyways who gives a tit, it's nice to see he has the same move as Jiraiya when he uses it solo.

Just watched 163. HOLY SHIT SON!!

Waiting for Taka Fansubs to release 163, I WANT TO HOLY SHIT SON ALSO. It's killing me to skim through this thread lol

[KuroTsuki]

Binktopia translated it differently as well. It's Gargantuan Rasengan.

I thought it was pretty awesome, but I still want him to learn something new. Hopefully his jutsu that requires kyuubi-level chakra isn't another Rasengan lol.

[Vajra]

I want to see him smack Sasuke in the face with this Sage Art: Gargantuan or Cho Odama or Super/Ultra Giant RASENGAN! I'm just going to call it Sage Art: Gargantuan Super Cho Ultra Odama Giant Rasengan! Susanoo mght block it, but there's no way it can block Rasenshuriken...I remember Danzo being able to tear through Susanoo with a combination of his Summon's suction vacuum move and his Vacuum Cuter thing(which are both wind techniques).

What's wrong with HorribleSubs or CrunchySubs, why hold out for some obscure sub group?

Only thing you don't get from these are the intro and ending subbed. What a huge loss there since I assume most people just skip them anyways. >.>

Rasengan has sentimental meaning to Naruto. It was his father's technique taught to him by Jiraiya. It's also an A-rank technique which he turns into a S-Rank when he's in sage mode. Pretty sure the only thing that can block the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken is something that can flat out dodge it, or absorb it. With Nature and Demon Fox Chakra backing it, I don't see how that would be absorbable though. They would either die instantly, or turn into a frog statue.

We're more likely to see new ways of him to deliver it/make it even more dense. Maybe with the Fox's help he can do like... Taju Kage Bunshin Wind Release: Demon Fox Rasenshuriken. In other words, hundreds of demon fox powered rasenshurikens thrown at the same time?

Those people make me sad. I usually try and sing along with it if I like it. I love a lot of naruto openings/endings and will never skip them. Conversely though, Nanoha and Nanoha A's openings/endings are meh enough that I wouldn't feel bad skipping them. But 98% of the time I don't skip the openings/endings and I like to know what they mean in english.

Not only that, but why replace Rasengan when just modding it makes it work as well as anything? Naruto doesn't need another offensive move, he could use some transportation stuff (like his father) and defensive stuff, sure, but offensively Rasengan is just so good there's little reason for anything else. And I like that they're keeping Rasengan competitive, because it was supposed to be a very powerful technique.

[arus2001]

Rasengan is considered a wind technique of sorts, no? So, if the Fox is considered a Fire chakra, and their whole relationship between elements suggests wind makes fire stronger... NARUTO HURLS THE SUN?!?!

[blindSharingan]

No, Rasengan is just chakra. It was considered an incomplete jutsu because the original idea was to add elemental chakra to it but no one was able to until Naruto developed the Rasenshuriken.

[The_OG_Nelta]

Actually in the databook, it said that Jiraiya ends up mixing Katon with Rasengan.

[Lucavi]

^ He does in certain games, which is a badass jutsu that, when exploding, torched an entire forest.

Of course, in games, Tsunade can punch someone so hard that if they hit a mountain, it explodes into a volcano. She can also rip the earth in half, drop you into it, then close it tight and shut.

[Ragnus]

I think everyone is forgetting that now that Sasuke has Itachi's eyes he's probably going to be able to pull the "Lulz I have Yata no Kagami now and can absorb everything while spamming Susano'o arrows."

[Drako]

naruto best technique is not rasengan anymore imo, he specialized in bushins, he can make lots of them and now they can hold for much longer, being able to fight a long time so the enemy can think hes the real one, and do several kinds of traps and even flee if he needs (like 8 tails did).
He can even make bushins to gather natural energy, its his best technique, its even better than his fathers teleportation.

[Eaglestrike]

Bunshins are more of a support ability for Naruto to enhance how he does things. Rasengan is his offensive move. What he needs now is just a movement enhancement (fourths) and some defensive maneuver aside from having rasengan hit a big attack. Which could be the Kyuubi cloak if he controls it. This would give Naruto at least one of each form of jutsu you need aside from bloodline limits and genjutsu.

I know its pretty cliche for shonen heroes, but I would like to see Naruto learn to fly. Take a partly formed Rasengan, add wind element to make a little handheld tornado, and then use them as jets, like Iron Man's repulsors in the films, or like the jumpjets some firebenders could use in Avatar.

I like that this has not yet happened yet, but wouldn't be completely against it if it did happen. I like that gravity still has some meaning and such.

Maybe we skip them because we're not really into J-Rock/J-Pop?
