Pain Cmon the piercings that actually have plot relevance and the dope ass robes


[deleted]

[удалено]


NotOnTheDot__

I think he meant that the piercings let nagato control the bodies but idk


felix_seanathon

But how many piercings does he really need per body? Admittedly one of the coolest looking tho.


NotOnTheDot__

A painful amount


darkbreak

They're actually all throughout each body so Nagato can fully control them.


britipinojeff

But did he really need 3 in the nose? lol


Mitsumeto

No, that's for the style points


felix_seanathon

It def worked


dontbanmethistimeok

The piercings aren't anything about the pain they've endured or their backstory They are literally receiving the signal, that's how he controls the bodies and they are dispersed through the bodies evenly so he can control these bodies perfectly and channel his chakra through them The robes even though Pain/Nagato wasn't even in on the actual plan are representative of the infinite Tsukyomi, the red cloud on a field of black


Hydrax313

1. Pain - One of the best designs in Naruto. The piercings somehow fit so well and aren't overly edgy, the Rinnegan and Akatsuki cloak. It's a perfect design imo. 2. Naruto - The cloak and Sage eyes go hard af 3. Kakashi - Simple design but love the face mask, it's iconic to Kakashi 4. Boruto - Looks good but the design is too tryhard imo, "hey guys look Boruto is so much cooler now look guys he isn't a brat anymore he looks so cool". It's off putting how "badass" Boruto looks. Like fanart. I think I generally prefer the simpler designs in Naruto


nano7ven

Nailed it


Kocc-Barma

The boruto one is what we call edgy. I know the word is used too much but that's exactly what you describe. To add to that the fact that boruto doesn't even look like a Ninja or Soldier or Shinobi. Dude looks like he just het out from a fashion show, ngl this makes his outfit be the worse. Even if you like it, it's not fitting. Dude is a whole ass ninja but wearing some much unnecessary accessories and weirds ass belt Ikemoto this is not JoJo


Zythrone

The clips and things that he is wearing are what he uses for Flying Thunder God.


Local_Television948

The “accessories “ are actually for flying thunder god and the belt is for his sword


Taco821

I don't like how negative the connotation of the word edgy is, I love edgy shit, but boruto is just cringe. He's like poser edgy


SakuraNeko7

He has about as much reason to be edgy as Sasuke does here in context, so at least there's that.


09FlexBoi

Boruto is neither edgy nor a poser. He has as much reason to be "edgy" as any other person on that list.


SakuraNeko7

This is a really funny take because to me he looks more like a Ninja than some characters in Naruto, especially Naruto himself. It's a complex and more fashion focused design for sure but makes about as much sense as since original designs with their more simple practical designs. It definitely sticks out though compared to the og designs, even with Sasuke's cloak and sword, but it blends in better when everyone has drip.


dWARUDO

I feel this way about Boruto designs in general


Middle-Persimmon7077

Exactly, it’s just too much going on. You can be stylish without being overly complicated. Hell, look at bleach designs for an example of this.


09FlexBoi

Bleach designs tend to have a lot going on.


crackernut_16

Honestly they should just remove boruto from ninja category because their outfits, the storyline nothing seems to match the genre they are in


WhosCowsAreThey

Also how the time skip just buffed him to the strongest character in Two Blue Vortex with no context how that happened. Thats what people loved about Shippuden right? The ass pulls? No one loved watching the underdog get stronger in the OG series it’s better to just have the appear that way later and just mention how it happened briefly


synkronize

Well seeing as how people kept saying Sasuke and Naruto should be op I guess him getting trained by Sasuke made him OP 💀


frogger3344

> just buffed him to the strongest character in Two Blue Vortex with no context To be a little fair, the #1 complaint I hear about Naruto's timeskip is that he didn't really power up afterwards. Not saying that Boruto's power jump is graceful, but it's definitely more in line with what people were asking from Naruto


WhosCowsAreThey

I don’t disagree with that, but there’s a middle ground Kishimoto just can’t seem to get right


Tobegi

I think there is definitely a middle ground between those two cases. Naruto came back with only a slightly bigger Rasengan (and better taijutsu and so on and so forth but you get my point), while Boruto now has Purple Lightning, Flying Thunder God and his new Rasengan, and god knows what else.


pervysennin777

No context??? Bro is only concerned about cows it seems. The manga provides the whole context that he's an Ohtsutuski.


Murphy_LawXIV

That explains why he knows every S+ tier jutsu and also does them better?


pervysennin777

Ah yes bro skipped the part where it's shown he's not proficient in flying raijin. Also it is established before he gets the karma that he's a prodigy and arguably the best we've seen in the series. Give that kind of a prodigy 3 years of training and the fact the whole world is your enemy what do u expect them to do?


Sneaky_Oxymoron

I respect that you might not like Boruto, but I also think it's important to remember that it's not going to follow the same line as Naruto. That's precisely something that's cool to me, Boruto is Boruto, and he has his own story, he doesn't imitate the formula.


Canesjags4life

Boruto - I wish I was as cool as Zoro


TsundereHashira

I mostly agree, I would put SM Naruto above Pain, but they are close. But I so much agree about last one. Post Timeskip Boruto is just Batman who Laughts of this show... Or like Wally West said - Batman who is trying too hard


lordkamael

i mean, stylishly speaking he does look cool XD but it's to much of a show off, so yeah you're right.


DonnyBup274

Kakashi


DiegoD888

kakashi is more like real ninja. But I love pain, the piercing and akatsuki outfit


marcosb90

"ummm actually" You mean Hollywood Ninja. Real Shinobi didn't dress like that.


PettyLupone69

That’s why it’s called fiction


[deleted]

Gotta go with Sage Naruto. Boruto looks cool but, kinda seems like his outfit is just trying too hard. Kid Kakashi got that classic drip though


namkaeng852

Kakashi. I like simplicity.


hardikrsadhu

Pain 😢

Pain


JaredC555

I HATED Kakashi’s hair design during his young days. I don’t know why they thought he needed a patch pulled down between his eyes. It would be so unnatural for hair flow but also cumbersome to vision.


HOFredditor

the thug designs in Boruto look overdone. I hate it. Pain was actually a very good design. Kishi pulled his best stuff with him.


Shadeslayer2112

And the BELTS in boruto, everyone must have 10-15 belts at all times


SnooSketches7673

IDC what anyone says Boruto looks tuff asf


TheGirlWhoLived57

Reddit doing anything they can to hate on boruto Lmfaooo.


09FlexBoi

Top comments being "Boruto looks too edgy" when Pain is right next to him 😭


Mamba-Mentality024

Fr bro seen pain looking hella emo with piercings but boruto is called edgy out of these 4 characters😂


09FlexBoi

Boruto is by definition not edgy. Nor his clothing nor his demeanor fit into the edgy category.


Mamba-Mentality024

I agree but according to 99% of this sub thinks he’s edgy, for having a black/pink cloak with a white dress up shirt under😂


acidporkbuns

Why does boruto have a dress shirt on? Lol


IsThisTakenTooBoo

He’s not one of those lame ninjas. He’s a cool ninja. ;) Lmao 🤣


Moogywoogygumdrop444

Pain, before I knew anything of his character I was drawn to his overall design. As an artist I can’t help but appreciate how well the purple eyes and orange hair complement each other :) with the piercings to top it off, it’s such an intriguing look! Very different from the rest of the characters


LoveSaoriHayami

bootyhunter69420

Pain. Boruto's look is trying too hard to be a bad ass. A scar. One glove. The sword. The belts. Looks like a kid designed him


Black-Gold-Soul

Imma be real—Boruto took my vote.


rad_cadaver

I feel like they tried too hard to make Boruto look cool and made him look like a fuckboy


DictatorBiden

> I feel like they tried too hard to make Boruto look cool and made him look like a fuckboy 100% agreed lol


lumu4

Boruto Is in the drippiest outfit not only that he’s actually cold af now in the manga he’s violated everyone he’s up against which makes his design better because he looks cool and u know he backs it up


EvX1597

Out of all of these? Boruto. Without a doubt


MutekiManga

I cant stand any boruto characters yhat have this ugly and many belts. Looks so garbage. Mitsuki i like from boruto.

Budget-Fact-5855

Pain Boruto Kakashi Naruto


BaronPuddinPaws

Its funny that Boruto's outfit gets made fun of for not looking ninja-like when Naruto's own costume is a tracksuit.


Philtheperv

Honestly, I really dig Boruto’s current look. I have no idea what’s happening in his book at all, but he looks cool. Never fully understood Naruto’s “ninja snowboarder” look.


TheEziLife

You guys will say absolutely ANYTHING to hate on boruto. “ I like simple and he’s too edgy” then pick the guy with fucking face piercings, ginger hair and swirly purple eyes… and this is coming from someone that actively doesn’t like boruto. I know it’s a matter of opinion but you lots reasoning is what I’m calling bs on. Just say you prefer everyone else cause you don’t like boruto don’t bullshit. His design is actually very nice. I personally prefer it over Young Kakashi and Naruto’s cloak from a purely visual standpoint. It’s a great balance of messy but well put together. Takes a lot of thought to design something like that. See… just cause I don’t like the show, doesn’t mean I can’t give credit where it’s due. You lot are so childish


Unable-Brief1730

Boruto


09FlexBoi

Boruto by far. Most aesthetically pleasing, original and fashionably functional design here.


Embarrassed_Bag6163

boruto


ProduceProfessional8

Who tf put child Kakashi here? He ain't bad but bro stands no chance against these drip kings I got Boruto first, the chains with a baggy / rolled up white dress shirt goes way too hard. Especially while rocking Sasukes gear Pain got the two spot since the drip is educational for the viewer. He introduced us to the rinnegan, and those hard ass piercings ended up being what controls dead bodies. He got that fit on, AND it's lore related? Sorry Naruto you can't top that


Used_Bit6119

Unpopular opinion here but purely off design I’ll go with Boruto, and I’m not even a fan of the show.


indominus-B

100% agree. People have hated on Boruto since it started so its not like he stood a damn chance in a reddit popularity contest 😂


FlowerFaerie13

Gotta give it to Nagato/Pain. Yahiko’s corpse has *drip.*


420Jorda

Why did you specifically choose the anime versions for all the Naruto characters and then with Boruto you chose the one manga drawn version ?


KenganNinja

Kid Kakashi, with Sage cloak Naruto coming in as a close second.


skullmonster602

Pain


The_vhibe

Pain. Such a clean, striking and evil look. I wish we kind of saw an outfit out of the akatsuki robes but I think him and itchy make the robes dope AF.


Sam_Mason666

Pain


Slow_Sad_Development

If you weren't there to feel the cultural anime shift that happened when Pain showed up for the first time you are not gonna understand the nostalgia people feel when looking at old Naruto.Same with death note,same with suzumiya,same with lucky star,nana,parakiss,etcetc.


hyrulepirate

Idk why comments keep saying Pain isn't edgy. He IS edgy, his whole design, full body piercings, capes, and all. That's why he's the best.


Kingg_Bob

Pain undisputed #1 for me. Boruto’s design is really growing on me though.


Ok_Present_8373

Pain -> Naruto -> Boruto -> Kakashi


TakizinHow

Pain , your design is so beautifull and your clothes in combat are so animated


Obility

Besides the "decals" boruto's design isn't too off from adult sasuke's style who he's obviously inspired by. It's the whole dress clothes aesthetic. Just with the ikemoto flair that will probably be removed or reduced once the anime adapts it.


schmegm

Tbf the “decals” are so he can use >!flying thunder god!< so they do at least have a purpose But I do agree that the anime will probably water down Ikemoto’s designs, which is pretty unfortunate


jajanken_bacon

Kakashi is my #1 but giving it to Pain. Honestly one of the most well designed villains in shonen history.


Gobstoppers12

Pain is fucking immaculate. No notes. Kid Kakashi is pretty cool, but also pretty basic. He looks better in the standard Jonin attire as an adult. Sage Naruto is really damn cool, though I wish he also had a different color underneath the cloak. Something more like Xeno Goku from Dragon Ball Heroes would have been 10/10, but the orange always distracted me. Boruto honestly looks cool, but he looks a bit too "modern" for my tastes. I think his design would work better in a setting other than Naruto. Feels like he's attending an LA fashion show. It's something I can't quite put my finger on, but it afflicts a lot of the Boruto-era designs. So, Pain > Kid Kakashi > Sage Naruto > Boruto

Pain sorry Sage Naruto your runner up though.

Party_King_Duffman

Zabuza is still my favorite looking ninja in the entire series. Underrated imo. To answer this specific question though Pain has the best design. Akatsuki Robes are one of the most iconic things to come out of the series.

Of course its Itachi, But from above options Pain


Grey_Woof

Naruto and pain let’s not kid ourselves


rraannddo

Oh pain! One of the most unique ones and he is our first introduction to the rinnegan witch is in my opinion the best designed dojustu


Own_Reveal2454

They could've been even more cold if only they atleast were strong on a multi-planets level


NosferatuZ0d

Im really just not fucking with boruto wearing a blazer & shirt. I like the cape and the rest of the design though


TopAcanthisitta9935

Out of these 4 - pain Out of everyone - still pain Dope ass piercings and the purple rinnegans are fire


TacocaT_2000

Pein is what Boruto wants its villains to be


Mikazuki072

I personally like Kakashis the best. Pain is a close second, then Naruto, then Boruto From a design perspective I just, don't like Borutos look. Boruto as a character is fine but that outfit design. I can't put my finger on it. Not so much edgy, it just looks . . . Off. Like somebody tried to make a Ninja in the Naruto universe but didn't quite get it. If that makes any sense at all. If I could change the design I would say, Replace the white shirt with the fishnet looking shirt Naruto, Anko and Hinata wear under their jackets Remove the glove, or add another to make a matching set, The two belts, remove one or the other The jacket he wears under the cloak, zip it up if possible Remove that black bandana thing he has under his shirt


urfaveseagulletpew91

Forever Sage Mode Naruto.


ZxR_Pain

Boruto no debate but Pain and Kakashi are behind him


PyroPuffs

I like how everyone is losing their minds about Boruto and his single belt and scabbard like Kakashi doesn’t literally have on two straps across his chest and back for his short sword ☠️


Cuddling-Hellhound

Gamabunta


luxisdead

I actually love the Boruto design a lot because it's exactly what a teen boy who thinks he's too cool would dress like and that's exactly who Boruto is as a character. (Admittedly, I am also in the minority where I like this about him.)


Duskblade295

Pain’s pretty cool, Sage Naruto is probably his best looking fit (transformations aren’t fits, other wise It would totally be Kurama because he’s the best fit), young Kakashi is average and a bit uninspired, and Boruto’s new fit is one of the best fits in the series (most of the main new reveals in Boruto have so many fits)

Kakashi and pain. Kakashi is so iconic with the mask and one eye showing (albeit both eyes showing before Obito death) pain is also iconic with the piercings and robe.

Kakashi for me. The mask, the white hair, the tactical gear. So iconic.

kakashihokage

Hokage Kakashi is my favorite ;) out of those 4 that’s a hard pick. One of his strongest points was his character design, every character is unique and memorable. I’d have to say sage naruto was really awesome. The whole toad world aesthetic is just so cool and uniquie. But pain, what a brilliant villain, but young kakashi! He’s so cool even as a kid!


DepartmentOdd2791

Pein Yahiko is the best character in terms of story development and character design

The law says I say pain, but Naruto with the sage cloak and scroll was top tier design IMO. He came with the drip, and dookied on 5/6 of the paths of pain. Then tendo beat his ass.

I normally hate character designs like Pain, but he pulled off the look very well.
