I think his glares work better in the manga. His design is a pain to animate, no doubt.

He was in a confined space, and his large-scale attacks come from either Summoning a giant snake, or transforming into one, both of which are larger than the volume. That aside, his very first ninjutsu was a giant Wind Release.

![The Technology That Supports Shinobi! Ninja World Civilization – The Essence of Techniques
As for shinobi life, it’s represented in chakra that makes use of many supernatural acts. It’s something that exists together with the way of things of the world. Nonetheless, [the world] is not without scientific technology; while using a harmony between nature and science, those are ideally used for making coexisting advancements.
Speaking of the harmony between chakra and science, the one running the leading edge is probably Kumogakure Village. [Harnessing] Lightning…in other words, there are many technologies that make use of electrical power. That know-how is put to practical use for the source of power for vehicles such as ships and [among other things], for means of communication. Also for shinobi, there are necessary times when there is an exchange [of information] between villages. Perhaps without science, there is no advancement….
Kumogakure Village possesses a boat. There is no sail, as it seems to have electric power as it’s driving force
Using a monitor for real-time correspondence. Also, storage of electrical power is possible.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2mjadk75pcauzgeqnldfplxv/bafkreibjrecap3u4oeywgjejz7fqr4r5qnqvhxv5gzzac2rrjkrxpbeskm@jpeg)
Shinobi make up the small minority of the total population, they are just present in the villages, but even then, they do have civilian theatre. It is noted the Icha Icha series was adapted to film, and is quite popular.

I think those are supposed to be radio dishes, not to space.

They had shown relatively advanced technology since literally the first main page chapter, and showed plenty more in the first arc.

I would not really say that crossover properly keeps to the setting, though video-games are not really far above what they had already displayed in part I.

I would say it originally was more so a potential fusion/combination of that and bringing out his own internal darkness into its own persona (often pictured as his literal shadow). It goes both ways, positively as he also refers to Yugi's family as his own. Shame that concept fell away over time.

Insofar that the Kyūbi is technically non-binary, the Bechdel Test was passed in literally the first chapter betwixt Tsubaki and Ibara. More generically, Sakura and Temari also exchanged neutral dialogue when the former questioned the authority of the latter to be in Konoha.

It already was. Kaguya set in motion the fated cycle of reincarnate struggle, which Naruto broke since as he told Neji, destiny is not static. Momoshiki made a similar prediction of Boruto's fate with his the eye(s) taking all away, and Boruto is also likely to overturn that.

It is not joke fodder. It leads to a poignant beat.

He probably would have been forced to step down as Tsunade came out of her coma regardless. Killing him just adds unnecessary tension.
The databook file on it indicates it is much more calculated, set to go off when he is dying (which shows he was always willing and prepared to self-sacrifice).

I would say she did rather well for herself.

If only Kishimoto had spoken on what his intention actually was...

Iruka's comments note that her skill is in chakra control, whilst Sasuke is the most well-rounded in the class. Her performance against Ino supports this, using a similar principle of building up chakra for enhancement, like Tsunade (and continued with greater output in Part II).

Sasuke was the one who was the most-rounded, Sakura had genius, talent, and genjutsu potential, all which translated into medical ninjutsu.

Jiraiya did not make him do that, it was just a joke, and most of the old generation kunoichi are not housewives, only one chose to do that. Sakura and Ino head their respective fields at the top of Konoha, for example, Sakura even got an entire novel showing her setting up a clinic.

He still uses the sword plenty, until it is forcibly returned to Zabuza.

I like how the official Naruto website's summary put it.
