Yup, great chapter. Kumokage is such a badass :D Watching 124 right now, I can't wait to see some Pain action :p

There is a thing that troubles me about Naruto : Danzo has chosen Fu and Torune as his bodyguards (don't recall hearing about them before), so they must be quite strong. Then why didn't they participate in the great battles against Aakatsuki (Kizame, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu) ? It's like the only ninjas in Konoha are those we met in the chuunin exam.

They are black ops, so they deal with secret missions and intelligence gathering. Also when the 3rd kazekage was attacked I believe the one trying to save him was these black ops.

If they're being controled by Danzo he wouldn't want them to help out. Because he wanted them attack Konoha so he could take over. Like with Sai, at first he was only there because Danzo wanted someone to watch over Naruto and convey messages to Orochimaru, who he was hoping would attack/destroy Konoha too.

so i finished watching NGE and i have no effin clue what is going on past episode 24.

in episode 24.... shinji kills the guy, who apparently is an 'angel', then shinji crys about it a bunch, then i have no *(#@&$@$_@($ing clue what is going on after that.

something about how he imagined it all...or it was just a different world that he was picturing himself in or some BS...

im sitting here going "o good, shinji finally did something, two more episodes for the to explain what the **** has been going on"

THEN an hour of shinji being a giant tool and having more flash backs and garbage, and nothing gets explained.

whats so great about NGE?!?!

I warned you, didn't I? This is what happens when an amazing producer doesn't know what a "conclusion" means. The ridiculous references to Christianity and emo squealing all makes one of the most influential anime series ever made into some kind of sick joke about suicide and rebirth of the world.

There's nothing "great" about NGE except that it restarted the anime genre. It went from a boring, Gundam, drama universe into "real" characters that do not follow the idealistic "boy becomes powerful and feels responsible for protecting the whole word" Gundam character to characters to the complete opposite. Shinji's incessant wailing, his rage... It all is part of one of the worst anime conclusions ever made.

Do you want to know how NGE ruined one of my all time favorite anime, Kare Kano? The producer decided to use the same format as NGE in the last 6 episodes of Kare Kano and completely ruined it before quitting after having a dispute with the mangaka for the pathetic flashbacks and completely awful attempt at trying to be artistic.

If you want to cleanse your mind and follow up with a better remake of NGE, then go with RahXephon. You will not be disappointed (it's one of my favorite) since it has a fantastic story.

Hadn't heard of the live action movies. Gotta link?

I can't disclose it or I'll be warned. PM me if you want to know about the site.

This is what I was trying to warn you about :laugh:

The show is just bad, I really don't get it's appeal it all. But as I said, not very many people share my opinion on NGE. The OVA's and movies don't make it any better, either. They're just more of the same convoluted...annoying characters and all. And messed up too. I'll explain further if you require. :huh:

    • Does your iPad support the latest iPadOS version? Here's the iPadOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Does your iPad support the latest iPadOS version? Here's the iPadOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple announced a ton of new updates and changes during its WWDC 2026 keynote. Of course, the center stage was captured by Apple Intelligence and the new upgraded Siri AI, which brings contextual awareness to Apple's voice assistant. This year's WWDC didn't have a dedicated section discussing what's new in iPadOS 27. That's probably because Apple has been unifying its software ecosystem in recent years through feature parity, changes to its naming scheme, and the Liquid Glass design language that spans all of its operating systems. That said, iPadOS 27 is coming later this year. Here are the iPad models present on the official list of supported devices: iPad Pro (M4 and later) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation and later) iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation and later) iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and later) iPad Air 11-inch (M2, M3, and M4) iPad Air 11-inch (4th generation and later) iPad (A16) iPad (9th generation and later) iPad mini (A17 Pro) iPad mini (6th generation and later) iPadOS 27 is now available as a developer beta release to try out the new features. To get the update on your supported model, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the options to get the latest update. In addition to iPadOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of iOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. The newest iPad update shares many features with its siblings, including the Liquid Glass slider, performance improvements, an enhanced Flyover in Maps, an updated CPU scheduler, and more. Apple said during the keynote that browsing and transferring files from iPad to an external drive is up to 5x faster. Apple also announced a platter of child safety features and Screen Time updates, which are making their way to iPadOS 27 as well. Siri AI is supported on iPadOS, but the upgraded assistant won't be available in the EU due to DMA restrictions.

      I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
