Thread: Naruto/ Bleach fight: the short version

I'm not complaining and I like both mags, but almost all the fights look somewhat likr this:
Person A attacks, Person B is wounded (a bit). B uses stronger atack / next form / doping pill and attacks. Then A is wounded (a bit) andsays: I' ve underestimated you, but I stiol have THIS. A uses stronger attack / next form / doping pill and inflicts more damage than the last time. B conters with next atack...blabla bla repeat repeat....until one of them is heavily wounded and thinks: Oh no I'll have to use THAT even if it costs my life.....he uses the forbiden technique / strongest atack / last form / last pill and wins (if he's the good guy, if he's the bad guy the oponent will get courage out of love / friendship / hope). Tada I stil enjoy them all.

Its what happens in every shounen manga. Look at dbz

Ummmm okay, i guess.

Oh my god, you're right! I can't believe no one else realized that! Surely your stunningly amazingly shocking discovery deserves a thread and congratulations on making it.

oh Jyuu you come up with the best comments

A crappy way of keeping us interested in the manga, nothin more...

Fights are structured this way to help storytelling. Long speeches between moves gives time to pump out backstories. Holding back and using increasingly powerful attacks lets the battle go longer to fill more pages. No serious wounds ever happen to keep interesting characters alive. If they modeled them after real fights it would be short boring and full of death. Not exactly what the shonen marketplace likes.

I tried reading Bleach. Twice actually. I just couldn't take every single character constantly telling each other they were gonna kill them and not a single soul in that manga ever dies. Even when a million metal shards slice up a character they manage to survive. I mean give some believable reason for surviving. I think the only person to die in Bleach is Ichigo's mom and that's not etched in stone until the manga ends.

And Ichigo's getting more powerful just as he was defeated in a fight. He almost dies, has some vision about training, stands up and beats the guy who just beat his ass. Come on. I can't take such piss poor writing. There just too much more I find fault with to type.

I'm not dissing those who like it though. I see how it can be entertaining but I also see it as the perfect example of shonen cliches and follows them to the letter.
