...Neji? lmao like wtf was the point? He was irrelevant for all of Shippuden so I doubt anyone cared, nor was he like one of the strongest fighters there or anything.

It's like killing him was just on a to do list even if it made no sense. Even fucking Guy was allowed to survive his eight gates despite the series constantly warning us that it would kill anyone who used all of them, but Neji still gets clapped.

Don't think there was ever a death in Naruto that really unless it was a villain.

It was also dumb because everyone just assumed at the time that he'd be revived like other characters, which killed any shock factor. And then it was even teased later that he indeed would be revived, but... nothing happened. He just stayed dead.

lol

Honestly Neji got poor treatment by the author. He was super hyped just to be an early barrier for Naruto, then spent the rest of the series being irrelevant. And then died randomly just to make the war feel REAL.

Naruto sucks when it comes to death. Realistically, 75% of the cast should have died when Pain came and fucked their shit up. Instead Naruto talk no jutsu'd people back to life

The funny thing is that the very basis of Neji's role as a juxtaposition/barrier to Naruto was a load of hoopty.

But Neji was a prodigy and the most gifted shinobi the Leaf has seen in a generation!

until he promptly loses to total incompetent dweeb Naruto lol

Deidara's death was pointless. Blew himself up for no reason

Maybe they just forgot because nobody actually liked him other than TenTen.

Him being pointless was the point. Wouldn't have a bunch of fans crying if he died but you can't exactly have a giant war where no one dies

Y'all thinking of Dosu? He was built up as a tough mini-boss that ended up doing nothing

The way he won was really stupid too. Literally just one shotted him with a punch to the chin after Neji hadn't taken any damage the entire fight. It's like he had zero durability lmao

Pretty much. People would've complained if nobody died in the war, and the story had plenty of underused fodder running around. Neji just drew the short straw.

What little I tried to watch this show was based on like him and Lee. I liked those two quite a bit but realized they were gonna be jobbers. I really didn't like the main characters so I stopped following it.

I feel like the creator got the main characters wrong basically. But hey, I didn't make it so my feelings don't matter.
