Pockie Ninja II Original Updated with Ancient Ninja Tools

[Shawn Zipay]

Pockie Ninja II Original was updated today with the Ancient Ninja Tools content.

Pockie Ninja II Original is a fully licensed Naruto, Bleach and One Piece MMO featuring storylines and characters from each of the popular anime series. The game allows players to step into the shoes of a plethora of their favourite anime characters during gameplay, thanks to an innovative outfit-based class system that sees players assume the role and associated powers of any character they own by simply equipping new outfits.

Coming soon, the Ancient Ninja Tools update welcomes four well known ninjas to Pockie Ninja II Original's world; all with one thing in common: their lives and abilities made other ninjas envious, but they ultimately suffered tragic deaths.

*Itachi* was the respected genius of the Uchiha Clan in Konoha village, but despite having everything to make other ninjas jealous he was also a man of misery. Itachi endured a turbulent time both in life and in death. Commanded to massacre his own clan and perform undercover work in Akatsuki, he was eventually killed by his dear baby brother. Even in death he was not put to rest. Resurrected and turned into a killing tool by Kabuto, the only way Itachi could be stopped was by killing himself, removing the Reanimation Jutsu that brought him back. Ouch.

*Hyuga Neji* was born in the Branch House of the Hygua Clan. Neji was a better ninja than many others in Konoha village, but he was restricted by the Main House for much of his life. His tragic story of unrealised powers ended when was killed in the 614th episode of the Naruto anime series.

*Asuma Sarutobi*, son of the 3rd Hokage, attracted many girls with his manly whiskers, despite not being all that handsome. His marriage to the beautiful Kurenai Yuuhi, who teaches in the Konoha Village ninja school, was a feel-good story that made other ninjas jealous. His happiness was short lived though, and Asuma's tragic fate was sealed when he was killed by Hidan.

*Gaara* was arguably the most envied ninja in the land. Son of the 4th Kazekage and heir of the 5th Kazeage, Gaara defied his turbulent childhood to become a cool, powerful, and handsome ninja. However, his winning attributes were not enough to prevent his death. Upon becoming a Kazekage, Gaara was killed by Deidara, ressurected, and then later seckilled alongside the other four Kages by Madara in the ninja war.

I have no idea what any of this meant.

Basically Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece are known as "The Big 3" franchises due to their mass popularity in Japan with a cult following in North America. They are the most popular series for Shonen Jump magazine in Japan to the point that none of them have finished their stories, despite running for several years so we're several hundred chapters in now (North American Shonen Jump run by Viz Media LLC downsized their magazine from print to digital-only), and all of them have their own anime series, except Bleach which has prematurely ended its run a while ago.

Anyways, what you described is solely from the Naruto franchise, where they add four characters with their backgrounds that only audiences caught up on the manga would understand. Simply put, four supporting characters who are dead get to be introduced in Pockie Ninja II. Thing is, the developers usually have the backgrounds completely wrong, and this one is no exception. For one thing, the anime has not reached anywhere near episode 614 so those who only follow the television series are now screwed to hear his death get spoiled. For another thing, Gaara isn't dead and Asuma isn't married. And finally, Itachi wasn't trying to stop himself as he didn't need to. The developers claim they have the license to produce these characters and settings into their original game, and I'll take their word for it, but damn they do not bother finding out what the source material is even remotely about. I swear their work is based off of word of mouth from random fans. The fact that I can find a flaw in all four backgrounds tells me THEY don't even know what any of this meant.
