00:00One of Masashi Kishimoto's biggest mistakes is still the character of Shino Aburame.
00:05During the Forest of Death, while leeches fall from the sky, Shino is extremely calm even though everything
00:11The world is panicking, which is beating Inotation to a halt.
00:13Shino is in "don't worry, they're family, they're the Konoha leeches, and they'll" mode.
00:17to eat everyone's blood, except my own.
00:20Against Zaku, he does a phenomenal job because he puts on a display of power that is just insane.
00:26And the worst part is that Shino's fight is being compared to that of Kakashi versus Orochimaru.
00:32That means that in Kishimoto's head, he thought, "Shino, amazing flow, I'm going to..."
00:38"To draw a parallel with Kakashi versus Orochimaru."
00:41And it sticks extremely well.
00:43Anime or manga, both fights are epic, and Shino steamrolls Zaku, breaking his arms, penetration of
00:49'insects, hostage situation, big slap in the face, Shino is sublime.
00:54Then, during the final phase, Shino is supposed to face Kankuro, but the tournament ends and Konoha is invaded by
01:02Suna and by Oto.
01:04And then Shino thought to himself, "What do you mean I didn't get my fight? How is that possible?"
01:09?
01:09So what does Shino do?
01:10Well, he tracks Kankuro into the forest to say, "We have a fight to do, my boy, and
01:15We're going to do this fight.
01:17And Kankuro, he's getting his ass kicked by Shino. Shino, he's all over everyone. Shino, he is
01:22monstrous.
01:23In short, Shino is an extremely strong character, one of the most powerful of the Naruto generation.
01:30I think he can hurt Neji. I think he can hurt a lot of people.
01:34of characters that we admire in Naruto.
01:37Against Payne, he's out of control, he's there with his insects, hands in his pockets.
01:41During the attack on Konoha, he had his hands in his pockets.
01:44Please, throughout the entire arc, he has his hands in his pockets, he's bored out of his mind.
01:46"Go ahead, mess with me." He saves Konoha, he saves people and everything.
01:50He has no injuries to his body. I don't know why the village was razed, but
01:53Okay, that's it, okay, there you go.
01:54But unfortunately, between Gaara, Rock Lee, Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto,
02:00I think that in any case, there wasn't much room left for Shino.
02:04And so, through Kishimoto, it became a somewhat comical character.
02:09This is a character, that's it, who is not invited on missions.
02:11He's a character who tends to grumble a bit in his own corner.
02:14In the end, he becomes a teacher, he's not too much in the spotlight and all that.
02:19Well, that's extremely unfortunate.
02:20You know, it's kind of that "Damn, why isn't Gai here during the..." thing.
02:23'Payne's bow?'
02:23Well, because if Gai is there during the Payne arc,
02:26Bah, Gaï easily rolls over all the Paynes.
02:29He kicks their asses very, very quickly.
02:31Why isn't Shino there during the hunt for Sasuke and in other arcs?
02:35Because Shino is too powerful.
02:36He created a character who was too strong, with an insane style, with just crazy abilities.
02:42Shino was too powerful to put in the spotlight, I think.
02:45So, they made him into a somewhat comical character.
02:48That's a real shame.
