Raiku: this is exactly why I planned to lose from the beginning.What the fuck was the point of crippling my arm? What was the point of any of this?
*pats*New plan: Yasu's a cynical asshole to everyone except for when Tomiko and maybe Madoka are around.
Like Sasuke, but not as edgy or overpowered... or something like that.
He'll get over it eventually, but right now he's just gonna hate everything.

There isn't much to say about this one. Zaku's a loose cannon in every sense of the word, but particularly his attacks. His attacks have speed, precision, range, destructive potential. they'd be perfect if they weren't just variations of the same move. Still though, seeing that no one really found a good counter to him that can't be held against him.
"A cannon that only shoots different sized cannon balls- and his mouth. Effectively proven to have been a good weapon of war for those without counters and still a pain in the ass for those with counters."
9/10
Decision Making
Decisive... but I'm not really sure how many decisions there are to make when you've only really got one move in your repertoire. Nevertheless, considering he got to the semi-finals with nothing but that one move, and he's been shown to swiftly make decisive attacks, having managed to almost cripple one of the participants, then his decision making is probably up to par. That or everyone else is just really lacking.
"Can't really say he made any bad decisions, more like he capitalized off the bad decisions of his opponents. But that's also a skill."
8/10
Adaptability
I'm not sure if I should praise you for adopting one move to every situation or scold you for only having one move at all...
"The judge is conflicted."
?/10
Field Effectiveness
No observable issues. Seems to do well in every situation. The fact that his adaptability is questionable somewhat puts his field effectiveness into question.
"His control over the range, precision and even direction of his chakra bursts is admirable."
6/10
Overall
"Strength and speed to back a one track mind with a one-track jutsū... not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
23 + ?/40
Ah most of these seems fair. Although the ??? On adaptability threw me for a loop lol. A lot of your statements are shockingly accurate (almost painfully so at times). Seeing as how Deidara, one of the Akatsuki only had one justu and simply Capitalized on it, I don’t think that’ll be very much of a problem your judging is appreciated Kyuu! Do you think Zaku deserves Chunnin?
Deidara's explosions offer more variety than even Zaku's sound waves. Deidara used them for transport, melee combat (Clay fighters) and of course long range explosives.
But I get the comparison.
Also, would this matter much? Given the invasion is about to begin and I doubt they'd given an enemy a rank up XD. Also are the Sound Four moving to the four corners of the Kage sitting section Shen?
Well, that's why I put it as ???. Naruto has literally one jutsū and he makes it work, and so does Deidara, but for people that counter their one jutsū they seem to flop against. Deidara does bad against lightning users since it nullifies his explosives (lightning beats earth) and Naruto...well he has plot armor so we won't talk about that.Ah most of these seems fair. Although the ??? On adaptability threw me for a loop lol. A lot of your statements are shockingly accurate (almost painfully so at times).

Also the sound four maaaaay be doing so. Maybe. Maybe.....
Getting the sense that it is a maybe. Though I cannot be too sure, just so subtle about it you know? XD
Also I am curious how Azumi will be judged. Given she didn't get the final match against Zaku/Katsuo.
Wish I got Chunin.
Yayyyy Zaku is chunnin!
I’m pretty sure we agreed the winner of the tournament would be given the rank of chunnin. Unless you WANT us to judge Azumi?
I'd give Zaku the rank of Chunin myself. He's a powerhouse who might be a one trick pony but clearly through Naruto & Deidara as examples you can still be a one trick pony and make it far in the ninja world.
Well, Azumi was the most efficient out of everyone in her matches. She came away with the least amount of injuries and showed that she could fight different ways using a completely different strategy against Taiyo & Kiro in her matches.
Though that's just my clearly biased opinion.
Idea for shen: drawing of all our current ocs in akatsuki outfits in a collage like thing
Green flame = skeletal susanoo minimum glhf gjFBS would certainly give him an edge
Just two more posts. We’ve come so farCan’t wait for the next arc to start! We’re almost there!
the fact we spent nearly 30 pages on a single arc is pretty fing awesome, and this is one of the short ones. I'm so excited for the attack, it will determine the future of two of my OCs
Kanshi: She'll have to prove her strength then, as even I'm not an Anbu yet.Truly, this will start Taiyo's journey to become definitely Jounin rank, and maybe Kage strength. As for Tsuki, might as well let her become an Anbu.
TBH now that I think about it she might not be able to even if she's as strong as one. An anbu must have the personality of near emotionless and cold blooded
