at what point was this NOT weirder than naruto?I previously thought this series was pretty grounded but now this is definitely weirder than Naruto.
Not the guy you replied to, but imo this series was always weird. It's just that weirdness was always grounded in science fiction concepts. Invisibility suits and Orbital strikes aren't realistic by today's standards, but they're at least backed by plausible physics.at what point was this NOT weirder than naruto?![]()
It could be something like he secretes hallucinogens through his skin.Not the guy you replied to, but imo this series was always weird.

Naruto, with its jutsus and chakra, was arguably more fantasy-like, but now that we're getting genjutsu handshakes we're starting to leave the realm of science fiction. Unless they hand wave it away with something like nanomachines hijacking their optic nerves or some shit.
Woudn't you consider hypnosis as a form of genjustu as well?, also that thing that ninja from UN does, where he "disappears" but is actually making people blank for the seconds it takes him to arrive or leave.Not the guy you replied to, but imo this series was always weird.

Would be the most believable but wouldn't quite explain it if those memories they're seeing are real, and I'm thinking they are.It could be something like he secretes hallucinogens through his skin.
Hypnosis like that isn't real though, it's pseudoscience quackery on the level of Chiropractic care. And yeah, the meeting where they explained peoples memories are being blanked & rewritten is where the series really started to dial up the crazinessWoudn't you consider hypnosis as a form of genjustu as well?, also that thing that ninja from UN does, where he "disappears" but is actually making people blank for the seconds it takes him to arrive or leave.
Also on a different topic, I hope hibi is aware of how lucky he is, because the amount of times he would have died if not for the intervention of one of the kumogakure is crazy.
