He didn't even mention Ninshu as the origin of Ninjutsu. The more I think about this video, and Naruto's power system, the more I realize he clearly didn't think about Naruto the same way he thought about all the other shows. Naruto's only considered in the context of what he thinks inspired it while everything else is considered as its own thing. That's why when he's praising Shikamaru, Gaara, Haku and Deidara's abilities, he's praising them as if they're Hunter X Hunter ideas.
With all of this context, MBs video 100% comes off as dishonest. Or at the very least, poorly researched. Just from the points you bring up, his entire argument more or less falls apart. Honestly, a video on how "Anime power systems were inspired by real life" would've made more sense as a video. Because a lot of them are. I really can't think of any (at the moment) that were made from the ground up and are wholly original.
I genuinely don't think HunterXHunter's power system has inspired any popular New Gen manga, let-alone a manga that ran concurrently with it back in the day and did better numbers lol. Just because Togashi sat down and actually decided to break down his power system and name every little application of Nen, doesn't make it a better power system nor does it make it the standard. If you notice a similar ability in another power system and it isn't named, that doesn't mean it's a rip off, it simply means that the author doesn't think breaking it down is necessary for the story he/she wants to tell. MHA is not a rip off of One Piece because Quirks are similar to Devil Fruit powers, and One Piece is not a Marvel rip off just because Devil fruits are similar to Mutants. Every author takes inspiration somewhere, it could be something as simple as them adopting a cat and wanting to draw a talking cat Samurai or something (Kishimoto did this btw), or something as random as drawing from myths and folklore that has been around for hundreds or even thousands of years. Chakra existed as a concept even before Togashi was born, literally every "application of nen" that MB "found" in Kishimoto's work, predates both Kishimoto and Togashi in both concept and in practice.
@@xigabrelless1980 JJK's foundation was clearly built using many concepts pulled from Naruto, with a Bleach-like aesthetic painted on top. If HxH was an inpiration for JJK, it doesn't show all that much copmared to the two afforementioned works.
@@TheBriguy1998 MB's video actually makes a comparison between binding vows in JJK and Nen vows in Hunter X Hunter. It was frankly more legitimate than what he said about Naruto.
Togashi adding Nen system was purposely crafted with long set up (until Heaven's Arena arc). While in Naruto it's more character's centric. One kid control sands, another control bugs, shadow, wind, lightning, etc. Again, Kishimoto really want to emphasize characters centric. HxH should only compare to other series that have system specified.
Saying that taijutsu is a rip off of enhancement is such a brainfart statement considering that it's not even a term created by Kishimoto. I'ts literally what real life ninjas called hand to hand combat
Are nen and chakra comparisons really a common thing? For nen the first comparison I usually think of is ki from dbz simply because both series use the term life energy/life force for there respective power systems, though the differences between those two are still apparent and easy to recognize, never once thought of chakra from Naruto as a comparison to nen
@JesseGolo Yesssss, A video Saying some of what I thought about MothersBasement's(MBS) video; like when I saw MBS's video, my first thought was like really that's all you had to say about naruto, why are you treating it like its a clone of Hunter X Hunter. To be fair to him, he wanted to present power systems as innovations that each series built upon, (like sources of influence and inspiration is a linear "look back 1 step" kind of thing ) but unlike other series, he just presented Naruto as merely a Ninja Skin of HXH, (which to me hinted at a possible bias) I wasn't Happy with that at all. Jesse Good Video Man.
Hunter x Hunter died on the vine just due to circumstance being left behind in terms of popularity and while it still has a strong fanbase it never reached its full potential. Of course there are fans like basement who want to steal glory because they feel if Togashi hadn't gotten sick HxH would have been the Real One Piece and make that daydream everyone's problem.
It was pretty slick tricking people into thinking this is a mother's basement video. I might have actually watch this work not for the fact that I feel I've been misled. No, not watching it. Thumbs down.
I mean, not really. Thumbnail aside, all you have to do is read the first two words of the title to know it's not a MB video since he never refers to his channel in the 3rd person.
Bruh imagine someone misrepresented your favorite series by misinterpreting things wrong and spread misinformation. You’re the type of people that get meme’d on for not reading stuff correctly.

Hunter exam, kuruta clan, many are copied from hunter x hunter without any aknowledgement from kishi.
This isn't an isolated incident for Mothers Basement. He fails like this often, which is why i stopped watching him years ago.

I mean jjk has a very good argument to be inspired

Yep
Man nen now just sounds like cultivation manhua terms to me now and i cant unhear it
The worst kind of idiots are the ones who think are smart
💯
Well I got click baited hard. I clicked thinking it was another MB video. I guess I will stick around to hear you out
@@yaminogame Oh. I somehow didn't think of that.
Hopefully it doesn't kill viewer retention because this was the only idea for a Thumbnail I had.
@@JesseGoloThat’s a good point ngl. I hope it doesn’t either.

Ki is really simple compared to nen and chakra. Chakra and nen are way more fleshed out, I don't really see how nen is that similar to ki.
I unsubed from Mother basement. I can only take a guy saying something completely wrong with a smug face for for so long...your videos are way torable
He has no testosterone I gave up on him very quick he's so annoying
@@rais6036😂 “he has no testosterone” ah man made me giggle
Will most people don't understand Naruto
I dunno how??
I LOVE HXH and Kishimoto does as well...but i never thought Naruto was a HXH rip off.
Me too True Bankai Ichigo
mother's basement doesn't understand a lot of things
Good job Jesse!
Spread the Truth.
type of guy to say people should watch shippuden first
Communist Brownshirts aren't generally known for their intelligence.

Well for me he's a bad youtuber but I guess we can have bad opinions

everyone's problem.
Mother’s Basement doesn’t understand something? …Gee when has that happened before
Wait 😂😂sharingan is a rip off of the scarlet eyes😂😂😂😂😂WTF who are these people
Kishimito litteraly said that it was inspired by it. It’s not a rip off, but inspired, like Kishimito said himself.
👀
Ninjustu defienlty more based on folktales . I say naruto more influence by yyh then hxh. He more inspired to dbz .
What more directly and heavily inspired nen is jjk😂😂😂😂
Im a bleach fan...Kishimoto and kubo are friends so is stuck up for Naruto.. Sasuke is kurpika?@?$&÷( WTF man.
MB needs to go back to talking about anime openings. It was literally the only thing he was good at.
Everybody hates Naruto
It's the hate Doron world as well the disrespect is crazy
What a time to be alive

You could literally just read the title and quickly deduced that it wasn't, are you mentally challenged perhaps?
Naruto is mid anyway, who cares?
What

So, what is this, anyway? Some kinda….Mother’s Basement?
Wait...say that again
