Ah yes, Naruto, the 'be born special or suck shit forever" anime. The perfect encapsulation of our time that will surely lift the spirit of the masses!
And before you come at me with Rock Lee. What happened to him, huh? Where did all his hard work lead? Do tell me.
My guy, you just need to watch it again, bro, Rock Lee, bro, what about Rock Lee my guy? Anyone can be a ninja with mystical powers, dude, even if you don’t actually have mystical powers. You just need to have superhuman strength and speed to make up for it and you can be a ninja, bro. You just need to be able to run faster than light, bro. It’s easy, my guy.
Hey now, if you’re not born the strongest you could always steal the DNA of the strongest guy and do evil scientist stuff with it. Because talent is in the DNA :Orochimaru: :calipers: :Hashirama:
Vanity paper, author just wanted to go on about Naruto and their dissertation topic. Any media franchise would work and the paper could be written in a more generalized manner as a result that would probably be more helpful instead of some weebs gushing about an (overrated) franchise
Case in point: in the works cited there is another paper from the author about how Naruto helped them understand CMT better from 2 year prior to this publication. Just a weeb shoehorning that shit in. At least shoehorn in the superior stereotypical shonen (dbz)
