Eye powers used to be a rare and cool thing but at the end of the series it seems everyone gets a rinnegan nowadays and the byakugan once hailed as a legendary doujutsu is a complete joke now. Yea, i've talked about thematic confusion before. Seems like Kishimoto forgot about his earlier themes of hard work paying off.

I am not a big fan of Destiny/Prophecy since it usually creates bigger problems than it solves. If it was Naruto's destiny to unite the beasts, then what's the point of a series about it. If destiny exists, free will cannot.
