Yonko – The Four Strongest Pirates of the One Piece World

One Piece has gone through numerous chapters (manga) and episodes (anime) with lots of memorable moments. And currently, the story is coming to another decisive point involving the legendary Yonko. With the latest chapters (manga) and episodes (anime), the battle between Luffy and his crews and one of the Yonko – Big Mom is going to boom. Also, the appearance of another Yonko member – Kaidou will definitely bring a great change to current One Piece story. That means it is the perfect time to take a look of Yonko and see what we know about these overpower emperors so far. Alright! Let’s find out!

* Note: The shared information here based on both One Piece manga and anime versions.

Yonko, the Four Emperors of the Sea

For a long time, the mighty Yonko has always been a mystery since they only appear in rumors. However, we know that Yonko is the group of four strongest pirates in the world. All of them have unparalleled strength, they all stay in the Grand Line but they don’t take side. Each of the Yonko follows his/her own agenda and it seems they don’t meddle in each other’s business.

In the Battle of Marineford Arc, we officially see the appearance of two Yonko: Whitebeard and Shanks. Though Shanks didn’t show much of his power, Whitebeard proved to us that a single Yonko could tremendously impact the world with his/her act. Though Whitebeard was old during the Battle of Marineford Arc, his power was still too enormous which even the Shichibukai and the Marine Admirals have to be careful when fighting him.

With such monstrous power, no wonder why many pirates don’t dare to oppose them. Many others try to prove themselves to be worthy as a member of these emperors’ fleets.

So now we know the background of the Yonko, let’s check out each individual and see what they’re capable of.

Edward Newgate – Whitebeard

Edward Newgate/Whitebeard – the Strongest Man of the World (Source: Internet)

Whitebeard is widely famous around the world as the Strongest Man in the World, and it’s absolutely true. Although he was already dead in Battle of Marineford Arc, his power and status can’t simply be ignored. Therefore, his name must still be included in this list.

Whitebeard’s first appear was prior to the Battle of Marineford Arc when Shanks came to meet him in body. During this time, it seemed Whitebeard was quite old and he needed treatments (as we see the medical equipment surround him). That said; DO NOT underestimates this giant old man even if he was old. He could easily destroy the entire city or even the world if he was seriously mad.

   Personality

In contrast to what we normally think about pirates, what Edward Newgate valued most was family rather than money and treasures. It seemed what constantly drive him was the dream of having family. And this idea reflected from his fleet organization. All of his crews considered Whitebeard to be the Great Father and highly respected him. To gain that high respect, Whitebeard himself also expressed and truly shared deep bond with his crew members as he always considered them as his “sons”.

Like in case of Ace, even though Ace tried to kill Edward Newgate many times, he still considered Ace as his son. Ace felt in great honor in joining the “old man” fleet and respected Edward Newgate as his father.

This bond also reflected in the Battle of Marineford Arc when Squarb, one of Whitebeard’s sons, betrayed Edward and stabbed him. Even so, Edward Newgate still forgave him, thus making him felt deeply guilty for what he did to his father.

As a great father himself, Edward Newgate cared deeply for his sons. This proved as he charged valiantly to the Marineford just to save Ace.

   Power

      Personal Trait

Besides from his Devil Fruit Power, Whitebeard was already a super strong individual by himself. He possessed giant body with powerful strength which could easily surpass tons of enemies. He even seemed to be able to stop the power of Devil Fruit himself.

Whitebeard was also known for his great endurance. He withstood tons of injuries and damage, but he could still survive. In the Battle of Marineford Arc, though he was old and had health problem, he could still easily unleash his power. Even at his death door, he kept standing still despite lots of wounds and damage caused to him. His strength and resolution were so great that even his enemies had to admire.

      Devil Fruit Power

Whitebeard possessed the power of Gura Gura no Mi, or Tremor-Tremor Fruit in English. This devil fruit allowed Whitebeard to unleash tremendously powerful shockwaves. These shockwaves are extremely destructive as they can cause massive tsunami and earthquake. They can also block everything, making Gura Gura no Mi the strongest fruit of Paramecia class in both attack and defense. And of course, it can even rival the power of Logia-class devil fruit.

      Haki

As the Strongest Man in the World, Whitebeard didn’t rely on his physical strength and devil fruit power alone. He himself possesses all three Haki types: Kenbunshoku Haki, Busoshoku Haki, and Haoshoku Haki.

Charlotte Lin Lin – Big Mom

yonko 3

Charlotte Lin Lin, or Big Mom, is the only female among the legendary Yonko. She is the head of Charlotte Family and also the empress of Toto Island where her family (and also her pirate fleet) rules.

As a powerful Yonko, she also possesses a fearsome fleet including key members being her children. She seems to have unending thirst for candies and sweets; however, DO NOT ever think of her as a lousy pirate. She may have addiction for candies and sweets, but she is not like a child. She can easily get angry and when she does, even entire country can stand a chance against her power.

With the latest One Piece arc about Luffy’s encounter with Big Mom, we will get to see more about this fearsome woman.

   Personality

Prior to the current arc, we’ve already known about Big Mom in the Fishman Island. At that time, she was the protector of the Fishman Island; in return she would take all the candies and sweets offering. From this point, first thing we know about Big Mom is that she has an unending thirst for candies. She can even destroy entire island/nation just because they don’t offer enough candies for her. Because of her power and her fleet, no one dare to stand against her wrath.

In the manga, there is a section which Big Mom expresses her wish, which is creating a paradise where people of all races can live happily with each other. Despite that “beautiful wish”, it seems her personality is not match with her wish. In the current manga event, she forced her daughter to marry Sanji as a member of Germa family in order to take over the Germa’s technology. She also had the history of discriminating her own children; in this case it was Pudding who had a third eye which considered being pretty much disgusting.

She is also easy to get enraged, and when she does the situation can become extremely intense and dangerous. She has extremely high desire to control, forcing people to follow her orders. Those who get to her bad side commonly face unhappy fate. Like in case of the Fishman Island, she is their protector but still she will ready to destroy the island if they don’t offer her enough candies she wants.

   Power

      Personal Trait

Just like her nickname: Big Mom, she has an enormous body with tremendous strength. She can easily smash the ground with only one slap while she’s sleeping.

It is also said that her body skin is extremely formidable, which can even stop cannonball. However, she seems to lose that formidable protection if she falls into a great panic. For example, in the current manga event her knee was easily bled when she fell down due to the broken picture of Mother Carmel.

      Devil Fruit Power

Big Mom possesses the power of Soru Soru no Mi (possibly translated as Soul-Soul Fruit), a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which specializes in soul matter. She can extract the soul matter from a person for her own, resulting in reducing that person’s lifespan. Those who have his soul extracted can be dead if too much soul matter taken from him. As overpower as it may sound, it seems this power has one flaw: Big Mom cannot extract the soul from those who aren’t fear of her. (Like in case of Jinbel who confronted Big Mom directly but she couldn’t extract his soul).

Besides extracting soul matter, she can also manifest soul entities from the stolen souls. These manifested beings are a part of Big Mom and they can possess powerful ability, for example: Prometheus, a fiery sun and Zeus, a storm could. These entities often called by Big Mom as “Homies”.

      Haki

So far we only see she uses Haoshoku Haki to intimidate a man for questioning Mother Carmel during the wedding of Sanji and Pudding.

Kaido the Hundred-Beast

yonko 4

When we call a person as a “beast”, it means that person is ridiculously strong. And among Yonko, there is a “beast” which often referred as the Strongest Creature of the world: Kaido the Hundred-Beast.

Not much we’ve known about him so far, but base on the current information we can sure that Kaido is truly an overpowered pirate. Like other Yonko, he commands a great fleet comprises of Zoan-type fruit users. Currently his fleet is occupying the Country of Wano.

   Personality

Kaido is portrayed as a true warrior and somewhat like a berserker type. Since Kaido possesses an enormous strength and an immortal body, he always recklessly jumps into battle. He seems to seek exciting enjoyment for his life; he always readies to fight with strong enemies like Whitebeard.

With his merciless and powerful status, no one dare to defy him and pretty much everyone fears him. Even the infamous Doflamingo was greatly afraid of him when he was called due to their unfinished business.

With such a powerful status, no wonder why he thinks highly of himself. He doesn’t acknowledge the potential threat of the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates. Even when Luffy defeated Doflamingo, a notorious Shichibukai, that feat didn’t pique Kaido’s interest.

   Power  

Kaido’s true power is still unknown; however, he is truly “something” which should not be messed with. These are what we currently know about Kaido’s capability:

  • His desire to kill the widely famous Whitebeard
  • His clashes against Shanks, who is also a powerful Yonko feared by many.
  • His absolute victory against entire Gekko Moriah’s fleet

With these feats alone, we know that Kaido is tremendously powerful. We also know in more details that he possesses an immortal body. So far, nothing can kill him, as it is recorded that he was once tortured and executed many times. However, despite all that efforts, he is still alive like nothing could have harmed him.

This immortality aspect is also partly why Kaido develops a habit of suicide. He has tried to killed himself many times, for example recently he jumped down from 10.000 meters above the sea surface. But after the jump, he still stood normally with just a slight headache.

Marshall D. Teach – Blackbeard

yonko 5

After Whitebeard’s death, it is supposed that someone must replace his Yonko position. And now we know that the new Yonko member is Blackbeard.

Marshall D. Teach was once a member of Whitebeard fleet, however, he killed the commander of Whitebeard’s 4th division – Thatch and took Yami Yami no Mi (Dark-Dark Fruit). Due to this action, Ace chased Blackbeard down and they had a clash. The result was not directly seen but seems Blackbeard won. Later on, we saw Blackbeard being one of the Shichibukai but for just a short while.

After the death of Whitebeard, he absorbed Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi power, becoming the very first person who can wield 2 Devil Fruit powers at the same time.

   Personality

Unlike many pirates who have recklessness trait, Blackbeard is a deceiving figure who doesn’t openly reveal about himself. On the outside, he looks like a care-free man who likes to joke and fools around. Yet in fact, he is the man with great desire, notably his desire for power. It is probably due to this thirst for power that he readied to betray the Whitebeard’s fleet and steal Yami Yami no Mi.

As a man with the “Will of D”, Blackbeard has a strong belief in the man’s dreams and fate. When Luffy and his friends tried to find a way to get to the Sky Island, most of pirates considered it to be a stupid idea. But Blackbeard himself encouraged that passion, despite his willing to kill Luffy later on.

Since Blackbeard possesses two powerful Devil Fruits, he believes he is the strongest and he thrives to become the dominator of the world. That said, he still remains as a calm individual, secretly acts to fulfill his goal.

   Power

      Individual Trait

Blackbeard possesses an impressive endurance which helps him lasts long during a fight. This powerful endurance is also highlighted when Blackbeard fights with other enemies using his Darkness power. Since Yami Yami no Mi amplifies the damage taken by the owner, Blackbeard has to suffer more damage than usual. However, he still manages to survive and even win the battle like in case of his fight with Fire-fist Ace.

Blackbeard is also a notorious schemers and he will utilize all of his resources to achieve his goal. One example is when he captured Luffy, at first it seemed he handed Luffy to the Marines in order to gain a ticket in the Shichibukai rank. But then it was revealed that his true motive was to get to the Level Six of Impel Down prison, and recruited the most notorious criminals for his crew.

As dangerous as he is, Blackbeard also has great weakness which is his sarcasm tendency in a fight. In various battles, Blackbeard likes to mock his opponent, leading him to dangerous situations.

      Devil Fruit Power

Blackbeard is the first pirate to be able to wield two Devil Fruit powers: Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi.

Yami Yami no Mi provides Blackbeard the power of Darkness – an endless void which pulls everything into it. It is like a black hole with extreme gravity energy and nothing can escape its grasp. In his fight with Ace, Darkness power proved to be able to absorb Ace’s fire and release it. According to what happened to Whitebeard, it seems this Darkness power can also absorb the essence of a person’s Devil Fruit power as well. In overall, Yami Yami no Mi is indeed among the most powerful Devil Fruits to date. However, it also amplifies the damage taken by the owner, in this case is Blackbeard.

Gura Gura no Mi, as we mentioned earlier, is the power of Tremor which previously owned by Whitebeard. By possessing two of the most powerful Devil Fruits, Blackbeard’s power can absolutely rival other Yonko.

      Haki

Though we haven’t seen Blackbeard uses Haki before, it is clear that Blackbeard knows the power of Haki as he talked a lot about it, especially during the Impel Down as he applauded Luffy for being stronger. So far, it’s unsure what kind of Haki type he can use.

Red-hair Shanks

yonko 6
Red-hair Shanks (Source: Internet)

Shanks, or Red-hair Shanks, is the very first pirate we saw in the beginning of One Piece (not counting the execution of the Pirate King). He is a close friend of Luffy and at the first glance he and his crew are like care-free guys who like to enjoy freedom and fun. He casually let some weak bandits “bully” him in a bar without fighting back. But later on, we know that he is truly a strong pirate who saved Luffy from death door. Since then he has become a great inspiration for Luffy.

As the story progress, it is revealed that Shanks is not an ordinary pirate, he is one of the Yonko. More importantly, he is among the strongest people in the world without using the power of Devil Fruit.

   Personality

Red-hair Shanks is portrayed as a pirate of honor who values freedom, adventure, and more importantly his friends above all. He readies to save his friends no matter how dire the situation, just like how he rescued Luffy with the cost of his arm.

Right in the first chapter, we can see Shanks as a selfless man; he can easily let go things which he considered as trivial. He didn’t fight with the bandits in the first chapter, but he got serious when the bandits bully Luffy and villagers.

As a calm and cheerful pirate, he also likes to tease people for friendly joke and fun. Out of the four Yonko, Shanks seems to be the most friendly and cheerful. And unlike other Yonko, it’s not sure how much pirates serve under his wing (or rather, does he have more man than his original crew in the first place?)

   Power

      Individual Trait

Being a funny and carefree guy on the outside, it’s quite easy to mistake him for a weakling. However, he’s a true Yonko and of course his title is not for sale. Though we haven’t seen Shanks in a serious battle before, it is safe to assume that he’s a man with tremendous power. He doesn’t possess any Devil Fruit power and yet, he can stand against Kaidou and prevent Kaidou from attacking Whitebeard.

He is also not afraid of Whitebeard, but both Whitebeard and Shanks seemed to maintain a friendly term with each other. Furthermore, the World Leaders Gorosei also agrees that Shanks is capable of defeating Blackbeard. By the end of the Battle of Marineford Arc, both Blackbeard and Akainu didn’t prevent Shanks from rescuing Luffy.

Shanks himself is also a master swordsmanship who can rival the strongest swordman Mihawk. Even though Shanks lost his right arm, he himself and his sword is still a force to reckon with.

      Haki

From what we’ve seen so far, Shanks can use two Haki types: Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki.

Shanks’s Busoshoku Haki is tremendously powerful. This is proved with his between clash and Whitebeard; both powers were too great that they tear the sky. He can also easily block the magma from Akainu’s assault.

Shanks’s Haoshoku Haki is also extremely powerful. During his meeting with Whitebeard, his appearance alone makes tons of Whitebeard’s crew members fall down unconsciously. Furthermore, Oda said that Shanks’s Haoshoku Haki can knock down 100.000 pirates and fishmen in Fishman Island Arc, while Luffy can knock down 50.000 at that time.

And that’s it folk! That is the roster of the five strongest pirates of all seas, the legendary Yonko! For meanwhile, stay tune for more news in the future!

The saga continues what’s left in the previous saga. After the death of Krillin, Son Goku and friends find out that the one behind Krillin’s death is King Piccolo, which heavily shocks Master Roshi. Master Roshi reveals that once there was an evil who nearly conquered the world. This evil (King Piccolo) encountered Mutaito, who was Master Roshi and Master Shen’s mentor. Mutaito successfully sealed King Piccolo in a rice cooker and threw the rice cooker into the sea, but with the cost of his life. After that, Master Roshi found the School of Turtle, following the principle of his mentor.

Back to the present, Goku persues Krillin’s killer, Tambourine. However, Goku is defeated since he is still in the weakened state after the fight with Tien Shinhan. While Son Goku is unconscious, Tambourine continues his rampage, killing many combatants. After Goku awakes and regains his strength, he easily defeats Tambourine and another “son” of King Piccolo: Cymbal. This greatly enrages King Piccolo, he sets out to hunt down Son Goku and eventually defeats Goku. Thinking that Goku is dead, King Piccolo takes the Dragon Ball from Goku then leaves, unknowingly Goku is still alive and later on rescued by Yajirobe.

   The Death of Master Roshi

In order to seal Piccolo, Master Roshi lures him with the two Dragon Balls. Master Roshi tries to use the sealing technique from his mentor, but fails to capture Piccolo. Master Roshi then dies due to the sacrificial sealing technique. As there are no people who can stop Piccolo, King Piccolo finally gathers all Dragon Balls and wishes to be young again. His wish is fulfilled and he becomes even more powerful just like his younger years. Piccolo even kills Shenron and succeeds in his world domination ambition.

   The Fall of King Piccolo

Meanwhile, Goku manages to return to Korin with Yajirobe’s help. Goku then drinks the Ultra Divine Water and becomes even more powerful. He sets out to face King Piccolo and rescues Tien Shinhan from being killed. Goku and King Piccolo has the final battle. Though Goku is almost defeated, he finally slays King Piccolo. But before his death, King Piccolo gives birth to his son Piccolo Jr. who is the main antagonist of the later saga.

Piccolo Jr. Saga

Despite Goku’s victory against King Piccolo, King Piccolo has already killed Shenron long before his defeat. Therefore there is no way to resurrect Krillin, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi, and other victims of King Piccolo’s rampage. Luckily, there is one way to resurrect Shenron: Kami himself. Goku then sets out to Kami’s Lookout to find him.

Eventually Goku discovers Kami’s Lookout and finds Kami, who looks exactly like the old King Piccolo. Later on, Kami reveals that he and Piccolo used to be one being. But then they divided into two different entities. While Piccolo became the Earth’s terror, Kami stayed in his lookout and became guardian of the Earth.

After telling his story, Kami resurrects Shenron and sends the dragon directly to the Earth. Shenron instantly appear and resurrect Krillin, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi, and other victims. Kami offers training for Goku to prepare him for his destined battle with Piccolo Jr. in the next World Martial Art Tournament.

Goku and his friends first encounter Piccolo Jr. in the World Martial Art Tournament. However, Goku and Tien Shinhan decide not to reveal his identity. Also in this tournament, Goku meets Chi-Chi, who has returned for her engaged husband Goku. Eventually Goku promises to fulfill his vow and proposes to Chi-Chi.

Goku and Piccolo Jr. finally confronts in the final match, and finally Goku claims his victory against Piccolo Jr.. After the match, Goku gives a Senzu Bean to Piccolo Jr. and restore his strength. Personally Goku doesn’t want his “rival” dies. And also, he knows that if Piccolo Jr. dies, Kami will die alongside with him. Piccolo Jr. accepts Goku’s mercy, then he leaves and vows that he will return to conquer this world again. The saga ends with the wedding of Goku and Chi-Chi, and marks the beginning of the next Dragon Ball Z.

And that’s it folk! Coming up next is the Ultimate Roundup of Dragon Ball Series Timeline – Part 2 featuring the next season: Dragon Ball Z! For the meanwhile, stay tune for more news in the future!

The World of Ghoul – Power of the Kagune

Tokyo Ghoul is quite a fascinating anime (and manga series) as it touches a sensitive topic about human’s nature, psychology, and society. By putting in a natural enemy of human – Ghoul, it leads to a question: How people will deal with their problem and how they will face the reality? That being said, the origin of ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul world is still a mystery. However, before finding out their origin and life, we will take a look at how dangerous they can be to humankind. And so, let’s find out: the World of Ghoul – Power of the Kagune!

* Note: The information here mostly based on the manga series, including the original Tokyo Ghoul manga series and its sequel Tokyo Ghoul:re.

Ghoul in culture in real life

In Arabic mythology, ghoul is a type of undead monster, or spirit, which has an unending thirst for human flesh. So to some extent, we can say it is similar to the zombie term we often use today.

* Fun fact: the term ghoul is also used to refer to people who have great fascination in deathly and grim aspect (or macabre), for example graverobber or gravedigger.

Nowadays, we also see the term ghoul used a lot in entertainment industries like gaming, movie, and comic. Just like its original meaning, ghoul nowadays also refers to undead monster which thrives on human flesh. And this created a foundation for the idea of ghoul in Tokyo Ghoul.

Ghoul and the thirst of flesh

In Tokyo Ghoul, ghoul is described quite different from the real-life version. First of all, it is not an undead, but rather, a living being with full of its body function. Second, it has an appearance just like a normal human, but with the exception of having kagune – its hunting weapon. Finally, it is sentient being, or to be more specific, it has mind, feeling, psychology aspect of a normal human. The greatest part makes its hard to live like a normal human is its thirst for human flesh. For example of Touka in the first season, when she ate her friend’s food, she gradually became weaker and didn’t have enough strength to fight Shuu Tsukiyama.

Throughout the anime and manga, it is revealed that a ghoul can’t eat anything else except for human flesh. If it eats anything not human flesh then its body will be weaken. Therefore, it normally has an unending hunger for human flesh, killing and eating people.

Due to this dangerous nature, human has tried to defense themselves from these savage beasts. In the anime and manga, the human founded Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG for short) which has trained countless Ghoul Investigators to fight against the ghoul.

Kagune, powerful hunting tool of the ghoul

If we take look at real-life animals, most of them have hunting, or defense, mechanisms and tools based on their nature. In Tokyo Ghoul, ghouls have a hunting/defense tool called as kagune. In the manga, kagune is like an organ which can morph out of the ghoul’s body. It can strengthen itself like a blade of steel, or become flexible like a whip or wings.

In details, each ghoul has an internal organ called kakuhou, which can create and release RC Cells. These RC Cells is like flowing blood which form the very shape and strength of the kagune, so to some extent these kagune can be considered to be “liquid muscles”. The power and appearance of a kagune will depend on the ghoul’s strength and mind. But in overall, the strength of a kagune, and ghouls in general, is far stronger than a normal human.

Another aspect of the ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul is that it has rapid regeneration. Normal weapons can’t do any harm to it, except for kagune and weapons related to kagune. Therefore, this idea gave birth to the quinque, weapons created from the kagune, which is widely used by the CCG members to hunt down ghouls.

   Different types of Kagune

According to Tokyo Ghoul lore, there are four types of kagune, each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Normally the CCG will base on these types information to come up with the best fighting strategy.

      Ukaku

ghoul 3

Ukaku is a feather-like kagune which excels at fighting in high speed, which morphs at shoulder area. Normally ukaku-type ghouls can harden their feathers and shoot them, which is good for long-range and medium-range combat. However, it will be a bad situation if they are forced to combat in close range. Some individuals can specialize in close-quarter combat; however, it seems their long-range capability is weaker. Ukaku-type ghouls are also incredibly fast, they are capable of finishing combat quickly. But they will have big problem in longer battle since they don’t have good endurance.

Ukaku-type ghouls will have high advantage against Bikaku-type ghouls as they can shoot from afar. However, a battle with Koukaku-type ghouls can prove to be lethal as these Koukaku-ghouls can defense themselves from Ukaku range attack. They can easily counterattack Ukaku-type ghouls, or simply wait until Ukaku-type ghouls become exhausted.

Notable Ukaku-type ghouls are the Kirishima siblings: Touka and Ayato Kirishima with their wings.

      Koukaku

Koukaku-type kagune released from the point below shoulder area, which often forms as a sturdy shield. This shield can withstand strong impact, making it an ideal tool for defense. That said, it doesn’t mean that Koukaku-type ghouls can only defense. In combat, they can morph their kagune like a blade, hammer, or spear which is extremely tough and powerful. However, these Koukaku-type ghouls are slow compared to other kagune types.

Koukaku-type ghouls will have great advantage against Ukaku-types ghouls since they can easily block projectiles. On the other hand, Rinkaku-type ghouls are dangerous foes to these slow vanguards since they can form powerful kagune which can easily pierce through the defense of Koukaku kagune.

Notable Koukaku-type ghoul is Shuu Tsukiyama who often fights with a strong blade wrapped around his right hand.

      Rinkaku

ghoul 5

Rinkaku-type kagune morphs from the waist area, which often has the shape of large tentacles. The Rinkaku-type ghouls seem to have the highest regenerative power of all types, which helps them survive even in critical condition. Also, the Rinkaku-type kagune itself is quite flexible and easy to form into shape; however, it is easily broken. Despite all that, Rinkaku-type kagune is superb in focusing power. A Rinkaku-type ghoul can merge its tentacles to form one powerful drill or blade which can destroy even the Koukaku-type kagune.

As mentioned, Koukaky-type kagune can hardly stand against the power of Rinkaku-type kagune. However, Rinkaku-type kagune’s soft nature makes it weak against Bikaku-type kagune’s stable strength and durability.

Notable Rinkaku-type ghoul is Rize Kamishiro, and later on, our protagonist: Ken Kaneki.

      Bikaku

ghoul 6

Each kagune type above excels a particular power: Ukaku leans on speed, Koukaku focuses on strong defense and durability, and Rinkaku focuses on regeneration and powerful strikes. On the other hand, Bikaku is a balance type and it doesn’t excel at any particular aspect. Bikaku-type kagune morphs around the tail-bone area and often has the shape of a tail.

Bikaku-type kagune has decent durability and speed to surpass the powerful strikes of Rinkaku, allowing it to cut down Rinkaku-type kagune quite easily. In some cases, it seems that Bikaku-type kagune can prevent the regeneration power of Rinkaku-type kagune. However, its medium power in speed, strength, and durability makes it weaker against Ukaku-type kagune since Ukaku-type ghouls can quickly shoot down Bikaku-type ghouls.

Notable Bikaku-type ghoul is Nishiki Nishio.

* Fun fact: Bikaku-type kagunes are also used to make quinques for beginner Ghoul Investigators due to its balanced capability and easy to handle.

   Chimera kagune, best of multiple types

ghoul 7

Chimera kagune is the products of multiple RC Cells types combine in a ghoul body. This case often occurs to children who have parents with different kagune types. In Tokyo Ghoul, this seems to be an extremely case as there are very few individuals have Chimera kagane. Notable Chimera kagune case is Hiname Fueguchi who has both Koukaku and Rinkaku.

   Kakuja, the state of primal predators

ghoul 9
Kaneki Ken and his unconpleted Centipede Kakuja (Source: Internet)

Previously we know that ghouls often prey on human, but what will happen if they feast on their fellow ghouls? The answer is: those individuals will become a Kakuja if their feasting reaches a particular point. These powerful ghouls are few, but their power rivals even the best CCG members. In many cases, it requires multiple Ghoul Investigators, including Special Class Investigators, to take down a single Kakuja (with the exception of Arima Kishou).

Once a ghoul becomes Kakuja, its kagune is also dramatically changed, normally into an armor wrapping around the ghoul’s body. That ghoul will also gain tremendous power and protection for its original weaknesses. Like in case of Yoshimura, he’s an Ukaku-type ghoul but his Kakuja form creates a huge armor around him. His armor includes huge blades and tough armor, making him extremely dangerous in close-range combat, unlike normal Ukaku-type kagune.

The first case of Kakuja is Eto Yoshimura and her father (both take the name of One-Eyed Owl), as they have monstrous body armor and tremendous power. Until now, the only person who can suppress them is Arima Kishou, the most powerful Ghoul Investigator of CCG. Another notable Kakuja case is Ken Kaneki, though his kakuja state seems not to be complete but his capability can surpass Arima Kishou.

Ghoul Ranking, according to CCG standard

In Tokyo Ghoul world, fighting a weak ghoul is a reckless action by itself, not to mention fighting more powerful ghoul. So, in order to form proper missions and plans, CCG set up a ghoul ranking system as below:

  • C rank: including weakest ghouls with limited ability.
  • B rank: including medium ghouls which have decent control and ability with their kagune. They are equal to Rank 1 to Rank 3 Ghoul Investigator level.
  • A rank: including strong ghouls with powerful kagune and ability. They are equal to First Class Investigator level. For example: Shikorae, Torso and Nutcracker (in Tokyo Ghoul:re).
  • S- rank: including powerful ghouls which are approximately on par with Associate Special Class Investigator level. For example: Nishiki Nishio (in Tokyo Ghoul:re).
  • S+ rank: including powerful ghouls which are approximately on par with Special Class Investigator level. For example: Miza the Three Blades, Jason (Yamori), Shuu Tsukiyama.
  • SS rank: including extremely dangerous ghouls which requires multiple Special Class Investigators to defeat them. Most of the ghouls in this rank are Kakuja. For example: Shachi, Enji Koma (Devil Ape), Kaya Irimi (Black Dog), Tatara.
  • SSS rank: including the most powerful and dangerous ghouls, until now SSS-rank ghouls include Eto Yoshimura and her father (both take the name of One-Eyed Owl), and Ken Kaneki (being One-Eyed King).

   S to SSS rank, the problem of uncertainty

ghoul 8

From rank S to SSS, the ranking seems to be quite flexible and hard to define precisely since ghouls in these categories are hard to determine their true power. Therefore, the ghoul strengths listed in CCG ranking are approximately estimated only. The most notable unclear rank is the SSS rank which is created due to the existence of One-Eyed Owl. Both Owls (Eto and her father) are too strong to determine, even multiple Special Class Investigators can hardly stand a chance against them. The only one who can surpass them is Arima Kishou which is also deemed to be the best Ghoul Investigator.

In the latest chapters of Tokyo Ghoul:re, Ken Kaneki can also be a SSS-rank ghoul as an One-Eyed King, and his victory against Arima Kishou. However, the true power of his current state is unknown.

And that’s it folk! Next time, we will delve deeper into the ghouls’ society, their factions, and their true nature. For the meanwhile, stay tune for more news in the future!

Wade Wilson/Deadpool, starred by Ryan Reynolds (Source: Internet)

The very first guy we have to cover is the protagonist himself: Wade Wilson, a.k.a the Deadpool, starred by Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds also starred the Deadpool in the first movie, and he totally captured the essence of this anti-hero character and his hilarious sarcasm. It is told that he spent 11 years to think and immerse himself as a true Deadpool. For this character, he tried hard to fulfill the expectation, especially from fans. And ultimately he succeeded in his role as Deadpool and got nominated as one of the best actor.

   Deadpool – Wade Wilson in Marvel Comics

Before becoming Deadpool, Wade Wilson used to be a professional mercenary. Later on he joined the project Weapon X in Canada and gained superhuman power, including the Healing Factor similar to Wolverine. Thanks to the Healing Factor, Wade’s cells regenerate so fast that cancer can’t kill him and he can live literally forever.

Deadpool is a professional and dangerous assassin with superhuman power. At some point, he was considered to be the strongest character in Marvel, like in an issue in which Deadpool went on a killing spree, slaying entire Marvel characters. He is also famous for his blabbering mouth, his annoying trait and especially his sarcastic nature. As in Marvel Universe, not many people can comprehend his annoying and disturbing sarcasm.

   Wade Wilson in Deadpool movie

In Deadpool movie, Wade Wilson was still a professional mercenary as a normal person. Later on, he discovered his cancer and agreed to join an experiment in which he could cure his cancer and possess superhuman abilities. However in truth, this experiment, conducted by Ajax and Angel Dust, was to create “super slave”. Turned out, the experiment did not happen like what Ajax expects; he “killed” Wade and abandoned Wade’s body behind. Of course, Wade didn’t stay dead; he became Deadpool and went on his revenge on Ajax. By the end of the movie, Deadpool succeeded in his vengeance and noted viewers that there will be sequel.

Deadpool 2 Cast: Josh Brolin, starring Cable

At the end of Deadpool movie, Deadpool hinted that there would be new sequel with the appearance of Cable, his duo-partner. However, who would star Cable was a mystery until now. It is revealed that Josh Brolin will star Cable according to his trolling post on Twitter. He will also star in the Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 as the great villain Thanos.

   Cable – Nathan Summers in Marvel Comics

Nathan Summers birth was not decided by his parents, but rather, a planned birth arranged by Mr. Sinister. With the hope of creating a mutant with power rivals Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister created a clone of Jean Grey and named her Madelyne Prior and get her married with Scott Summers the Syclops. They gave birth to Nathan Summers, an alpha mutant with powerful telepathy and telekinesis.

When he was still a baby, Apocalypse captured him and injected him with the Techno-Organic Virus which can kill him quickly. In order to save him, Sister Askani from Clan Askani came from the future and sacrificed herself to become energy, bringing Nathan to the future to cure him. However, she couldn’t bring her back and Nathan stuck in the future. In later years, Nathan grew up and went through many situations. He grasped the ability to travel between times and he often came to the present Earth back and forth to deal with various cases. This includes his encounter with Deadpool and soon they become a duo.

Deadpool 2 Cast: Morena Baccarin, starring Vanessa

Vanessa, starred by Morena Baccarin (Source: Internet)

In Deadpool movie, Morena Baccarin starred Vanessa who was the lover of Wade Wilson. And in Deadpool 2, she will also return as Vanessa, but not much has been known about her role in the movie yet. Though Morena shares her interest with the changing of Vanessa to Copycat, it’s still not sure whether that changing will be in the movie or not.

   Vanessa in Marvel Comics

Despite her normal appearance, Vanessa is actually a mutant with the power to copy the whole genes of a humanoid target. She worked as a prostitute until she met Wade Wilson and soon they fell in love with each other. However, Wade was afraid of his cancer and broke up with her.

Later on, she decided to become a mercenary herself and hired by Tolliver to infiltrate the X-Force and spy on Cable. She transformed to Domino and succeeded in the infiltration thanks to her genetic copying ability. But then, she betrayed Tolliver and sided with the X-Force fighting against him.

During the Weapon X Project, Kane and Sabretooth were assigned to kill both Copycat and Deadpool. While Deadpool could manage on his own, Copycat was heavily wounded by Sabretooth and ultimately died by Deadpool.

   Vanessa in Deadpool movie

In Deadpool movie, not much was revealed about Vanessa’s mutant power. So far the plot focused on Vanessa being lover of Wade Wilson and she still accepted Wade even after seeing his deformed face. For now, it’s not sure whether Vanessa will become Copycat or not.

Deadpool 2 Cast: Leslie Uggams, starring Blind Al

Besides Vanessa, many other characters make a comeback in Deadpool 2, including one of the Deadpool’s friends: Blind Al, starred by Leslie Uggams. According to Leslie in her interview with Blackfilm, she will definitely back as Deadpool’s roommate Blind Al.

   Blind Al in Marvel Comics

Blind Al, or Althea, is quite a mysterious figure since not much has been revealed about her, except for the fact that there are many people want her dead. Once Wade Wilson was hired to kill her in Zaire; however, he spared her despite killing everyone else. Later on when Wade Wilson became Deadpool, he captured her and kept her in his place.

Blind Al and Deadpool have quite a peculiar relationship. Though Blind Al was his prisoner, she was more like his friend, housekeeper, and mother-like figure. At times, Deadpool could be quite cruel to her, but on the other hand, Blind Al was not afraid of him and she could talk back to Deadpool if he went on his sarcasm.

At a certain point, Deadpool felt guilty for what he had done to Blind Al, he freed her and brought her far away from him. Later on, it seems that Blind Al and Deadpool still contact with each other.

   Blind Al in Deadpool movie

In Deadpool Movie, Blind Al is Deadpool’s roommate; however, not much has been revealed about her in this movie version. So far, it seems that she is a friend to Deadpool and she usually helps him cleaning his uniform.

Weasel, starred by T.J. Miller (Source: Internet)

Besides Blind Al, Weasel is another close friend of Wade Wilson, starred by T.J. Miller in Deadpool movie. However, this is still purely speculation.

   Weasel in Marvel Comics

Weasel, or Jack Hammer, is a genius scientist and inventor who is the supporter and friend of Deadpool. However, after several incidents, including The House, Weasel became Patient Zero and took revenge on Wade Wilson and Peter Parker as he thought that they are the reason for his failure and current condition. Weasel tricked Deadpool to kill Spider-man and claimed Parker Industries. Soon after the Spider-man’s death, Deadpool realized the situation and found a way to resurrect Spider-man. They both cooperated to find Weasel with Spider-man luring him to Deadpool’s hideout. They successfully captured Weasel, but then Weasel was killed by his test subject called Itsy Bitsy.

   Weasel in Deadpool movie

In movie version, Weasel is not a technical supporter, but rather an owner/bartender at Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Children. He seems to have a better friendship with Wade rather than in the comics version. He is also the one who gave Wade Wilson the idea of the name “Deadpool”.

Deadpool 2 Cast: Stefan Kapicic, starring Colossus

   Colossus in Deadpool movie

In contrast to many people’s expectation, Colossus makes a huge appearance in Deadpool movie. In the beginning, Colossus tried to recruit Deadpool to the X-Men and taught Deadpool about a hero’s morality. However, he failed. When Vanessa was captured by Ajax, Deadpool seek help from Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. And together, they defeated Ajax and rescued Vanessa.

   Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Marvel Comics

Negasonic Teenage Warhead was the codename of Ellie Phimister, a teenager who lived in Genosha and student of Emma Frost. She had the ability to “foresee” events through nightmares.

A Rookie Guide to Minecraft Multiplayer Tips and Tricks

Minecraft is a wonderful world with tons of recreation opportunities, creative builds and stuffs. Minecraft Singleplayer alone is attractive enough for those who like to build and share their creativities at best. But for the others, Minecraft Multiplayer is even more interesting as many players can take part in Minecraft with various games like mini-games, puzzles, zombie apocalypse, etc… or simply compete with each other. Such is the fascinating world of Minecraft Multiplayer and this time, we will share some tips and tricks while “enjoying” Minecraft Multiplayer.

But before going into the tips and tricks part, let’s check out how we can participate in Minecraft Multiplayer.

How to join Minecraft Multiplayer?

Minecraft is among the most popular games in the world; therefore it should be quite easy to find a Minecraft Multiplayer server by ourselves. However, we will need some sort of “research” before we randomly choose whatever servers which look appealing to us.

   First, what is your favorite game type?

minecraft multiplayer 1
Bastion against Zombies, do you want to join? (Source: Internet)

Thanks to creative Minecraft platform, players throughout the world have created plenty of servers with various activities. As mentioned, in Minecraft Multiplayer we can enjoy many games and activities such as faction war, survival, zombie apocalypse, mini-games. So it would be a nice idea to consider what kind of activities we want to partake, and then we start to learn more about different servers.

   Second, what are Griefing and Whitelist?

minecraft multiplayer 2
Griefers… they will probably come to you soon… (Source: Internet)

Secondly, there are two terms we need to understand before choosing a Minecraft Multiplayer server: Griefing and Whitelist.

  • Griefing: refers to action of destroying/sabotaging/ruining/harassing other players’ work. In some Minecraft Multiplayer servers where rules are not strict, many players can destroy our work as a form of competition and “entertainment” for them. For some players, this “destructive exercise” can be intriguing. On the other hand, those who don’t like this practice can feel pretty annoyed. We can imagine it like when we wake up in the next day, and first thing we see is our house was burned to ashes. Of course, many server masters know this and they may put rules to prevent this from happening, so it’s recommended to check out whether a server forbid this griefing practice or not.
  • Whitelist: refers to servers which have quite strict rules and regulations. Unlike common servers, these servers only accept those who registered in advance and were accepted. Therefore, these servers tend to have decent environment and rarely suffer the case of griefing and other “shady practices”.

   Finally, consider some other elements:

  • Game type: Just like what we mention in the first point, after choosing what types of game we enjoy, we will also check out what game types a server offer.
  • Server population: determines the amount of players in the server. This can be important since some game types require huge players base, while some game types don’t need that much people. For example like in the case of faction war, it would not be interesting if there are too few people and it can hardly be called as “war” at all.
  • PvP: or player vs player, these are pretty tough servers since they focus on fighting with other players. It is not recommended for those who prefer more “cooperating games” or relaxing games.
  • Server uptime: determines a server’s online/available rate. We will want to choose a server which has about 95% uptime rate or more.
  • Server cost: normally we can join most of the servers free of charge. But of course if you can donate for the server you enjoy. Some servers offer premium membership with better queue rate and other privileges. In busy server, this can be a great choice to get in the game quicker.

   After being done with research, let’s join Minecraft Multiplayer!

Let’s join the world of Minecraft! (Source: Internet)

So, we have decided our server choice, let’s join in that server! In order to join in a server, we will need its iP address and its Minecraft version. Since not all servers follow the same game version, we will need to change to the exact version from the Minecraft Launcher.

After that, head into the game and go to Minecraft Multiplayer menu. Here we will need to add server manually by entering server name and address. Afterwards, the server will be on our list, now, it’s time to join in Minecraft Multiplayer.

Tips & tricks while playing Minecraft Multiplayer  

Now that we’ve joined a server, let’s check out several tips which experienced players often share when playing Minecraft Multiplayer. In this case, we only share tips about surviving in PvP world where griefing is like everywhere.

   1. Food and Wood

In the first few days in Minecraft Multiplayer, gathering materials and resources can be quite a challenge. Unlike Singleplayer, in this multiplayer world we will survive with other players, thus making it much harder to find resources. Still, we need to explore and find the resources we need, with the most important resources are Food and Wood.

   2. Make friends

Friends, or party, are important factor to survive in this harsh world. As people often say: it is better to make friends rather than making enemies. In Minecraft Multiplayer, this is also extremely helpful for both our and other people’s survivability. Forming an alliance will make it easier to find resources, and also defense ourselves from the invaders/griefers. That said, some experienced players warn that in some cases, we have to be careful since there may be deceiver in an alliance. Of course it’s a game, but seems some people prefer to ruin things, rather than cooperating.

   3. Choose a place for our home  

Home is a great place to rest and stay safe, but in Minecraft, we may not be safe even in our home (again, griefers). It will be safe in strict-rule servers or whitelist servers, but in other cases, even our home could be in danger. Nonetheless, we still need a home, the problem is where to build it?

Many players consider plains and savannas are the best terrain to build house. Some other may prefer to choose a place near spawning point. Any cases, the most viable location is somewhere near mountain, sea/ocean (although it may not be easy to find). After that, we will need some preparations, notably traps to prevent outsiders.

   4. Beware of other players

Are these guys friends? Or foes? (Source: Internet)

In Minecraft Multiplayer, there are plenty of experienced players with full diamond gears. They may offer help or items; however, some of them are not that friendly. They may be griefers who can fool us with some sweet items, then when kill us right off the bat. Some others don’t care about trolling, they prefer killing at first sight (for whatever reason).

Even in case of allying as we mentioned in the second tip, some players prefer trolling so they may wreck our alliance. In any cases, it is highly recommended to accept support from those who can trust, otherwise, hide or decline the “warming attitude” from these guys.

   5. Stay in peace

It’s fine to become a griefer or a brutal killer ourselves, but in our first days, it’s best to stay out of trouble. We’re not strong yet, we also don’t have a tough alliance so it’s not a good idea to be aggressive. Since dying means losing lots of our work, it’s best to stay out of trouble which means: running away is the best “defense”.

While exploring, it’s not rare to spot other players or accidentally step in their territory. In that case, just make sure we can just teleport back to our home safely. Normally other people will come and kill us right away when we approach their land, so there’s no reason to stay and try to… reason with them. In case if we have weapon and armor, it’s best not to grief other players who try to stay in peace. Who knows? Maybe one day they will be our allies.

   6. Avoiding monsters

Unless we have proper weapon and armor, fighting monsters is notoriously troublesome. Therefore, it is best to avoid these guys while exploring or mining. Also, it’s best to stay at home during night since this is the active time for monsters. When we’re strong, we’ll show them who’s boss, but until then, there’s no shame in hiding in the shadow.

   7. Get money and diamonds

In most Minecraft Multiplayer servers, they already have market plugin in which we can sell our unused stuffs. Other nice thing to do is to give these items to other rookies like us (more chance to gain allies!).

But of course, money is just a part, what we thrive for is DIAMOND! In the world of Minecraft, Diamond is like an almighty currency which can control everything (surely you haven’t forgotten that sweet, powerful diamond weapon and armor). When we become richer with diamonds, this almighty currency will be our easy ticket to gain friends and allies.

And that is the Rookie Guide to Minecraft Multiplayer Tips & Tricks! Stay tune for more news in the future!

Top 10 Most Wonderful Cute Cats in the Feline World!

We all like cute cats, as they are so adorable and amusing to watch. And just like dogs, cats are companions and trusty friends and family members. Although they can be lazy and spend like almost half-a-day sleeping, still we love them especially when they do silly things. For such wonderful companions, it will be a waste if we don’t take a closer look at these cuties. So here we are: Top 10 Best Cute Cats in Feline World!

* Note: This is not a definitive list; all of the cute cats listed here are randomly put. With that said, let’s get into real business!

Cute Cats: Ragdoll

Ragdoll is quite a young breed compared to other cat breeds. It is said that Ragdoll was the results of Ann Baker, a breeder in California. However, not much has been known about the cat breeds involved in giving birth to this cutie. The only cat breed which gave birth to Ragdoll was Josephine, a white longhair cat type, while the others were unknown.

Besides its birth, Ragdoll is also interesting due to its friendliness to human. It often sticks with the owners and families, it greets the owners when they come home, it can just plainly lie into everyone who holds it.

The history of dogs in general is still an unclear story even now, but one thing we know for sure: they are smart.

Nonetheless, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is easier to teach smarter dogs or it’s hard to train less-smart dogs. Each dog breed will require different approaches, the importance is how we teach them.

In the book the Intelligence of Dogs, Stanley Coren, a psychology professor from The University of British Columbia, uses the dog’s learning rate to identify the dog’s intelligence. According to Coren, then we have:

Since Sai is the member of team 7, it is important to put him on the priority on this list. Sai married Ino Yamanaka and gave birth to their son named Inojin.

With Naruto becoming the Seventh Hokage, Sai becomes Naruto’s assistance and helps Naruto with various activities. In Boruto Naruto the Movie, Sai work as the supervisor in the Chunin test, alongwith Shikamaru Nara. Also, Sai seems to work with Ibiki Morino in investigating Katasuke Tōno, who was reported to be brainwashed.

In combat, Sai still possesses the ability of ink Super Beast Imitating Drawing and he teaches that technique to his son Inojin. In Naruto Gaiden manga, his son describes Sai’s art as “ancient style”, which is pretty much correct based on his drawings we’ve seen so far.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Ino Yamanaka

In her younger years, Ino Yamanaka is a rival to Sakura in the competition of winning Sasuke’s heart. But with recent events, it seems that Ino lost in that competition. Instead, she found her love with Sai and together they married. Ino and Sai gave birth to their son Inojin, and they both trained Inojin. According to Naruto Epilogue chapter, it seems Ino believes that their children have to inherit their jutsus and tactics.

From the last episodes of Naruto Shippuden to Naruto Gaiden manga and Boruto Naruto the Movie, Ino still remains close friend with Choji and Shikamaru, along with her other friends and comrades.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Shikamaru Nara

In Naruto Shippuden, he claimed that Naruto needed him as an advisor and after that it came to reality. As Naruto becoming the Seventh Hokage, Shikamaru works as an advisor and assistance for Naruto. He also helped Naruto with his hardwork, especially when there is too much workload.

Shikamaru married Temari and gave birth to Shikadai, both trained their son for the next generation of Ino – Shika – Cho team. Interestingly, it looks like Shikamaru shares similar characteristic with his father Shikaku. When they have family, they both are understanding, yet seems to afraid of their wives (just speculation!). In Naruto Gaiden manga, Shikamaru said that Shikadai is also similar to him, especially the unenthusiastic part.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Temari

Temari has fallen in love with Shikamaru, especially in the last episodes of Naruto Shippuden. And just like that, she married Shikamaru and has stayed in Leaf Village. Later on, they gave birth to their son Shikadai.

Temari has always been a strong, independent woman. Her strong characteristic could be partly why Shikamaru shares the similar trait with his father Shikaku: afraid of their wives (just speculation!). Besides that, Temari still remains as close friends to other girls and Leaf Village comrades.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Choji Akamichi

In the last episodes of Naruto Shippuden, it is not clear who is Choji Akamichi’s potential wife. However, in Naruto Gaiden manga, we can see that Choji married Karui of the Cloud Village and gave birth to their daughter Chōchō Akamichi.

Even when he becomes adults, it seems Choji still has the habit of eating, especially snacks and grills. He’s often seen to have snack on his hand, and interestingly his daughter was annoyed with Choji due to his choice of snacks. In Naruto Epilogue chapter, Choji also trains Chōchō to pass on his techniques and Ino – Shika – Cho team’s tactics.

In Naruto Gaiden manga, it seems Choji can now control his body and weigh at will when he goes on missions.

Choji still remains close friends with Shikamaru and Ino, along with his other friends and comrades.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Karui

Karui and Choji’s relationship was unclear until the release of Naruto Epilogue chapter. It’s revealed that Karui married Choji, she has stayed in Leaf Village and gave birth to their daughter Chōchō.

Not much has been known about Karui in this new era. According to Naruto Gaiden manga, it seems that Karui is not really into the training for their children. She believes that the world is peaceful and it is unnecessary to teach their children fighting.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Shino Aburame

During the last episodes of Naruto Shippuden, Shino Aburame stuck in the stream of thought and doubt. Since Hinata marry Naruto, their team will no longer remain the same, thus leaving him goal-less. But then he finally confronted his doubt and decided to become a teacher.

In Naruto Gaiden manga and Naruto Epilogue chapter, Shino becomes a teacher and he teaches in the same class of Boruto. In Boruto Naruto the Movie, he is also the supervisor for the Chunin exam, along with Tenten.

Besides from his career, not much things have been revealed about him, especially his family life.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Kiba Inuzuka

Kiba Inuzuka married with Tamaki, the grand-daughter of Nekobaa who lives in the abandoned city. In the last episodes of Naruto Shippuden, Kiba fell in love with Tamaki. And in Naruto Epilogue chapter, Kiba and Tamaki stay in Leaf Village, however, it is not clear whether they children or not. Also around this time, it seems Akamaru looks much older and not as strong as he once was, though he and Kiba are still be able to understand each other.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Rock Lee

Rock Lee has always been an energetic ninja who has been always into rigorous training. In this Boruto Naruto Next Generations era, he still has his energetic spirit and keeps on his training.

In Naruto Epilogue chapter, we can see Rock Lee exercising with his son Metal Lee. However his wife’s identity is not known for now. In Boruto Naruto the Movie, Lee is also a supervisor in the Chunin exam.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Tenten

Just like Rock Lee and Shino, not much has been revealed about her life, especially her family. In Naruto Epilogue chapter, Tenten becomes a trader who sells ninja tools and equipments. however, her shop does not have much visitors since the world is peaceful. Interestingly, she also showcases Treasure Tools of the Sage of the Six Path, but not for sale.

In Boruto Naruto the Movie, Tenten is the supervisor for the Chunin exam, along with Shino.

What Happened to Naruto Generation in Boruto Naruto Next Generations?

Naruto Shippuden has ended recently with the pretty happy ending and now we have another new story: Boruto Naruto Next Generations. So far, Boruto story is quite intriguing to many fans, however, what about Naruto generations? How do they fare now when war is no longer a threat (or not yet)? In that case, isn’t it interesting to see how these old generations live in this new era? Let’s find out then!

* Note: The information based on Boruto Naruto the Movie, Naruto The Last, Boruto Naruto Next Generations, Naruto Gaiden The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring, and Boruto Manga.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Naruto Uzumaki

Of course the first character on our list is the “great hero” himself – Naruto Uzumaki. In the last episodes of Naruto Shippuden, Naruto get married with Hinata. Later on, Naruto has finally achieved his dream to become a Hokage, the Seventh Hokage. Since he had a great deed in ending the Fourth Ninja War, now he still has respect from people around the world, both old and new generations alike.

Naruto devotes himself greatly in his Hokage work and protecting Leaf Village. He works extremely hard that for most of the time he stays in his office overnight. He is still the same man who takes a great care for people, however, he seems not to be a good father.

In combat, Naruto still proves to be the strongest ninja in Boruto Naruto the Movie and Naruto Gaiden manga. However, his performances look not as good as his younger years.

In Boruto Naruto Next Generations, Naruto is still working as the Seventh Hokage. Since it is still the beginning, we’ll have to wait and see what will happen to Naruto in the future.

   Family

Naruto and Hinata gave birth to two children: Boruto Uzumaki, the main protagonist of this next generation, and Himawari Uzumaki. Since Naruto always works hard for his Hokage work, this led to quite a hardship for him to raise his two children, especially Boruto who always wants to be took notice by his father. This situation went worst in Boruto Naruto the Movie when both father and son don’t know how to communicate with each other. Luckily, after the incident with Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, Naruto and Boruto are finally be able to understand each other.

Some people consider Naruto to be a bad father and may resent him for that. But if we look at Naruto’s origins, he was an orphan, a child resented by people surround him. This makes some sense when Naruto is a “bad father” since he doesn’t not really understand how a “father” supposed to do. And with the devotion for Hokage work and people, it is indeed a difficult job for our Naruto.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Hinata Uzumaki (Hinata Hyuga)

According to most Asian countries’ custom, a wife’s family name will changed to her husband’s family name. Since Naruto serie was made in the land of Japan, this custom also applies in the Naruto world as well.

In combat, so far we haven’t seen Hinata in battle so hard to say how strong she is now. Seems it is something we have to wait and see in the future.

   Family

Hinata Hyuga is a ninja in Hyuga clan. She married Naruto and gave birth to two children: Boruto Uzumaki and Himawari Uzumaki. Apparently, Hinata has become a housewife, and she mostly spend time taking care of the two children. Similar to her younger years, Hinata is extremely caring and forgiving. She understands Naruto’s hardship and tries her best to raise Boruto and Himawari. She always teaches Boruto to appreciate and understand his father’s situation (though it might not look effective).

If we look from Japanese ancient culture perspective, Hinata is quite an excellent model for a wife. Or it could be that the authors intended to design Hinata like that in the first place?

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha, Protector from the Shadow (Source: Internet)

After the Fourth Ninja War, Sasuke Uchiha seems to devote his life in redeeming himself, and help Naruto in the shadow. In Naruto The Last, it appears that Sasuke will also appear to protect the village if Naruto absent. In the new era, Sasuke still wanders around the world and most likely to hide himself from the public. Eventually he made appearance in Naruto Gaiden manga and Boruto Naruto the Movie.

In this new era, Sasuke and Naruto still remain as close friends, and Sasuke still acknowledged Naruto to be better ninja than him. That said, he expects that someday Boruto will finally surpass his father.

In combat, Sasuke still proves to be a powerful ninja (second only to Naruto) and his combat prowess is likely to be similar to his younger years.

   Family

Sasuke gets married with Sakura Haruno and gave birth to their only child: Sarada Uchiha. Like Naruto’s case, Sasuke also has trouble with his daughter (though not as heavy as Naruto’s situation). In Naruto Gaiden manga, Sasuke was in extremely cautious state that he didn’t recognize Sarada. He almost attacked Sarada but then was able to stop himself. Sarada felt resentment towards her father and awoken her Sharingans, luckily in the end, Sasuke and Sarada managed to be in normal family relationship.

In Boruto Naruto the Movie, Sasuke returned to the village and met Boruto. Boruto met and asked Sasuke to train himself to be able to defeat his father. Sasuke agreed to teach Boruto, but also taught him to understand his father. Later on, Sasuke and Naruto both fought along each other against Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki and ultimately won the battle. Since then, Boruto took an admiration towards Sasuke and wished to become a ninja just like him.

Boruto Naruto Next Generations: Sakura Uchiha (Sakura Haruno)

Sakura Haruno gets married with Sasuke Uchiha and her name changed to Sakura Uchiha. They gave birth to their only daughter: Sarada Uchiha. Similar to Hinata, Sakura seems to also be housewife, but it’s not so sure about her occupation.

In this new era, Sakura is still a good friend to Naruto and Hinata, as depicted in Boruto Naruto the Movie.

In combat, Sakura still proves to be a fearsome ninja with her fist, as we can see in Naruto Gaiden manga when she fought with Shin Uchihas, and Boruto Naruto the Movie when she protected the spectators from Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki’s attack.

   Family

As a mother, Sakura is strict, yet also extremely caring mother to Sarada. And to some extent, she is like a single mother who has to raise Sarada on her own as Sasuke is usually not at home. Sakura also feels lonely since Sasuke is not always be with her, but she finally overcomes the loneliness thanks to Sarada and the events in Naruto Gaiden manga and Boruto Naruto the Movie.

In Naruto Gaiden manga, Sakura faced quite a difficult situation in raising Sarada. Without her father, Sarada felt in situation of questioning her own motive and identity. She suspected that Sakura was her true mother and she sneaked out and eventually accompanied with Naruto. Later on, Sakura saved Sasuke and Sarada during their battle with Shin Uchiha, but then got teleported to Shin Uchiha’s hideout. Afterwards,  Sasuke and the company rescued Sakura and finally returned back home. At this point, the Uchiha family finally got a new family picture.

That’s it folk! Stay tune and wait for the next stories of the old Naruto generations in Boruto Naruto Next Generations Part 2 in the future!
