Idiot Ball/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

** In one filler episode (161), Naruto gets whacked with the idiot ball ''hard''. He fails to recognize that two people are wearing terrible disguises to make them look like Guy and Rock Lee and misinterprets their horrible tasks as ''Taijutsu'' training.

** In Episode 193, Rock Lee fails to recognize his own sensei, simply because of a weird wig. To make it much worse, [[The Guards Must Be Crazy|the city guards]] fail to realize something is up when two identical Might Guys are running around all crazy like. This, when the ''children'' can disguise themselves as teachers... and just to pound the point home, the next adventure chronologically has yet even more people using disguises to threaten the lives of everyone. Way to go, guards.

** Naruto held the idiot ball '''hard''' during {{spoiler|[[Fan Nickname|Kabutomaru]]'s attack on the turtle island he and Killer Bee were hiding on to not realize something was wrong. To say nothing of his believing that the "mission" he was on there was a fake to begin with. Even the other characters with him [[Lampshade Hanging|remark on this]].}}

** Sasuke has dribbled the ball for a while, having switched his goals from "Kill Itachi" to "Kill the people who made me kill Itachi" to "Kill everyone who happens to live in the same area as the people who made me kill Itachi." Itachi went rogue specifically to prevent the needless deaths of thousands... The same thousands Sasuke is now bent on killing to avenge Itachi.

** And the people who caused this situation weren't much better. If they wanted {{spoiler|Yurin's powers for their own benefit}} so badly, '''why in space''' did they {{spoiler|just strap her to a cockpit and use her as an amplifier for the local [[Enfante Terrible]]'s powers}}?
