“Still having Kurama’s chakra is probably the one that bugs me the most”: Masashi Kishimoto Can’t Escape His Worst Written Storyline in Naruto That Proves Eiichiro Oda is Always Better

 Kishimoto's plot device exposes flaws in his storytelling as a misstep that proves Oda's superiority in manga narrative crafting.

Few creators have achieved the level of success and influence enjoyed by Masashi Kishimoto, the mastermind behind the globally acclaimed series Naruto. However, even the most accomplished storytellers are not immune to missteps, and Kishimoto’s work is no exception. One of the most reignited controversial plot points in the saga, the introduction of Ginkaku and Kinkaku, sheds light on the challenges of maintaining narrative consistency in a long-running series.

As fans continue to dissect and debate the intricacies of Kishimoto’s storytelling, comparisons to other manga giants inevitably arise. Among these, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, stands out as a paragon of meticulous planning and world-building. The contrast between regret and flawless narrative construction has once again brought to the forefront the ongoing debate about storytelling techniques in the manga industry.

At the heart of this controversial storyline lie Ginkaku and Kinkaku, two characters introduced late in the series. These brothers from the Hidden Cloud Village were pivotal in the Fourth Great Ninja War arc, serving as a convenient plot device to resurrect the Ten-Tails. Their sudden appearance and significance in the overall narrative raised eyebrows among fans.
