The Cold War allegory and Communism symbolism in Naruto

Image
The Naruto series is my favorite anime/manga series of all time. There is a lot of symbolism, allegories, and life lessons present here. Let's talk about my favorite allegory in Naruto Shippuden. This allegory is present during the Pain arc, when Pain and Konan attack and destroy the hidden leaf village. But to understand the allegory you must first understand what happened in the series. So the leader of the organization the Akatsuki, Pain has a goal to gather all of the tailed beasts in order to create weapons. Pain had a very traumatic past, his home country was ravaged by war, his parents died in front of him. He also had to kill his best friend to save Konan. Pains real name is Nagato and he was very idealist, he wanted to create world peace but after he lost everything he became a realist. He was going to achieve world peace through pain, he was going to make everybody experience the same pain so that they can understand and sympathize with each other. The way he was goin

Why Micro transactions Should Not Be Present In $60 Games And Why They Must Go Rant

One thing that is making a lot of gamers mad is the inclusion of micro transactions in $60 dollar games like Call of Duty. This is ruining the gaming industry, and all of these greedy developers are ruining great franchises by including microtransactions in them. The only games that should have microtransactions are free to play games like Fortnite. And even then the microtransactions should only be cosmetic so that the game does not turn into pay to win. And the reason free to play games should have microtransactions is so that the developers of those games can make money. But games that are 60 should not be legally able to have microtransactions because they are already charging 60 for the game. And then many of these 60 dollar games also have additional content like season passes which cost almost as much as the game. I do not mind games having dlc as long as it actually expands the game. There are some developers like Bungie that take content out of the main game and then they rese

One Piece Wano Kuni Arc Predictions

Image
Eichiro Oda the creator of One Piece has stated that the Wano Arc is going to be one of the best and most epic arcs in One Piece. Right now we are in the climax of the Whole Cake Island Arc, and we know that the Reverie is coming soon so that might be the next arc. Then after that we will get to Wano. Oda did say that in 2018 the Wano arc was going to start, but he did not specifically say when. For all we know the Wano arc might start in December of this year. I have a couple of predictions for what might happen in the Wano arc, but knowing Oda, my predictions might be wrong since One Piece is very unpredictable. Well we know that Emperor Kaido, the King of the Beasts and the strongest creature on Earth, is governing over Wano in a tyrannical way.  The plot will most likely be Luffy and his allies trying to help the Samurais of Wano to overthrow Kaido. But Luffy will get something out of all this which is access to one of the poneglyphs that Kaido has. If we look back, we know Luf

How Ventus could have lived hundreds of Years

Image
Ventus from Kingdom Hearts has always been a mysterious character. He looks just like Roxas, he came from the Destiny Islands also. All we know is that Ventus used to be Xehanort’s apprentice but then he became Eraqus’s apprentice. But now in Union X Cross we see that Ventus is one of the new foretellers, what is weird is that Union X Cross takes place hundreds of years before Birth By Sleep. That means Ventus is hundreds of years old, and the whole community is shocked and asking how is this the case? Well one of the explanations for this must be time travel.  These are the rules to time travel. First, you must abandon your body and become just a heart. One way to become just a heart is to extract your heart with a Keyblade. Another method would be to become a Heartless, since Heartless are technically just hearts. Once you become just a heart, then you have the ability to move through time. You are only able to travel through time if there is a version of yourself present at the
