Current Events > Hot Take: I would rather have the Shadow Clone Jutsu over any single Superpower

(+) Yeah! (+)

I honestly cant think of 1 superpower I would want over the Shadow Clone jutsu from Naruto.

Ill do a brief explanation of what this does. You can clone yourself an unspecified amount of times. These clones are temporary and you can disable the jutsu at any time you want. The clones also can be disabled if they take too much damage without this damage carrying over to the real body. You can also learn/experience anything with these clones and as soon as they are disabled, all those experiences and memories are transported to the main body.

So you can use this technique to do multiple thing ms at once, experience multiple things at once, learn multiple things at once or even speed up the learning of a single thing many times over. You can also be in multiple areas at once obviously.

Sure, super speed, flight, rapid regeneration, etc would be awesome. However, shadow clones just have so much utility that I cant think of anything I would want over it.

Sexy jutsu tbh

This power is the only way I'd see myself in a gangbang...

That would be amazing and your girl would love it

*girls
With literally enough Korey to go around, there's even less reason to stop at one.

But, yeah, ignoring the sexual benefits, I'd probably drop my goal of getting rich. No need to save up enough to never work again when I kan send in the klones 7 days a week while not working at home.
On one hand, you'd think they'd be just as opposed to slaving away as I am, but on the other, as the original, it's important for me to be happy, healthy, fed, and in peak kondition, so when I spawn them in, they're in the same kondition.

Also, I love the idea of playing vidya with klones.

If you have too many clones at once, once they all collapse the amount of information and possibilities bombarding your original mind at once would overload you and leave you near comatose or progressively worse with your brain hemorrhaging

When did that ever happen in that show?

---

Even if that was possible, we aren't Naruto, we can't make hundreds of shadow clones at once. It would be like 2-5

---

Spamming shadow clones is only viable because Naruto has a massive chakra reserve from being an Uzumaki and Kuramas chakra mixing with his own. A single shadow clone takes half of the users chakra thats why characters like Kakashi and Itachi only use one at time. Also mass shadow clone is a forbidden jutsu because its high chakra cost can lead to death.

---

Super speed can do all that and more

---

You'd end up in a lab somewhere. I rather have a power like super learning that can't be detected.

This is basically Multiple Man's mutant power and his stories always end poorly.

You mean one of your clones would end up in a lab. You could easily bait the government into thinking one was real and the real you would hide

This.

Shadow clones poof, and do you really want to live a life in hiding?

With my luck my clones would probably be lazier than me

Which would still be great

And if they're not, it's depressing that I have more control over a clone than myself

---

There's some risk in it, but teleportation would be the most convenient power imo provided you don't teleport into a space that's already occupied.

Of course if there's a caveat where your teleportation won't work if the space is already occupied (thus taking away the risk of teleporting into a wall + immediately dying) then it would be the power I would want over anything else.

Definitely, was just saying we don't have to worry about overload since we won't have enough clones for that to be a possiblity.

Nice then you'll get all the memories of being tortured or interrogated from multiple locations at once before your brain suffers a massive hemorrhage or you become comatose.

You can disable it whenever you want

---

Yeah, torture would just cause a shadow clone to pop. And once again, we aren't Naruto, we aren't going to have hundreds of clones out there, just a handful and a handful popping won't fuck your brain up.

And get all the experience and memories when they are disabled. Just because it's not physical damage doesn't mean it's not going to fuck with your mental state.

Look, when a shadow clone pops you're going to experience everything that it knows and remembers. This will be everything you have already known and experienced. This redundancy will fuck your brain up.

Why would you wait until you are getting tortured?

No it wouldn't. Your brain would do just fine. It is extremely good at rapidly throwing away anything that is irrelevant. All the redundant shit would be tossed out before you even realized there was redundant shit. Like seriously, you don't know what the hell you are talking about.

That has never happened in the show so it wouldnt happen here.

Just because it didn't happen on the show doesn't mean it won't happen in real life. It's like thinking that just because someone has super speed they won't get absolutely destroyed without the kinetic vision and durability to sustain it.

It also would make no sense. Like if ToPoPO was saying you'd get a seizure or something, that would be reasonable. But shit like going into a coma or bleeding out is just bullshit.

There is no evidence that it would happen and you are making blind assumptions how the technique will work to fit your narrative. It could happen, isnt an argument when there is zero evidence that it would. God could live in the middle of the sun for all we know but that doesnt mean I can say that as a fact.

You're literally hoping that a made up technique works your way when anyone who has any sense would say otherwise if it could happen in reality.

I didn't said "could" I said "would"

don't change shit up

Look. The show has evidence. Clearly the topic is based on how it works in the show. Its blatantly obvious that was the intent. Stops using this bullshit narrative that it could cause all these bullshit problems when there is no evidence in the show that it causes these problems.

Super speed could cause dramatic damage to the body. Teleportation could cause unknown problems. Super strength could possibly not be turned off. No one is questioning those things because it would be dumb just like what you are doing now.

i doubt you'd have enough chakra to make even 1 full clone lmfao

How does it not? The show has many people using it and a history of it being used and this havent been mentioned in the show at all. That is far more evidence than, It could happen because reasons. Fuck outta here
