There are few Jutsus more iconic in theNarutomanga than the Clone Jutsu as it is one that every ninja is forced to learn upon their initial grooming , though many devotee may not know thatDragon Ballhas its own edition of the iconic technique – one that is much more ludicrous thanNaruto ’s .

The Clone Jutsu is a proficiency that was first introduce inNarutoChapter 1 by Masashi Kishimoto and has been a mainstay technique ever since . As the name hint , the Jutsu , when done correctly , grants the user the power to make copies of themselves . The fighter ’s chakra is split between all of those newly - made copy . Therefore , each clone is   pass on a fraction of the original ninja ’s power . This move is incredibly utilitarian in a pinch   because it can be used to distract an enemy as well as surround them during a one - on - one fight . This gives the ninja using the Jutsu an immediate vantage in struggle .

InDragon BallChapter 62 by Akira Toriyama , Goku is combat a Red Ribbon Army warriorknown as the Purple Ninja who is hellbent on killing Goku after the Saiyan infiltrate his organization ’s base of operation . While Goku had been able-bodied to best the ninja at every tour during their fighting , and even made his attacks seem like utter jokes , the Purple Ninja uses a move that was made celebrated by Naruto : his very own Clone Jutsu . In the blink of an eye , Goku is border by five identical Purple Ninjas with the presumption that four of them are clones of the original . However , as the chapter quickly reveal , the Purple Ninja ’s ‘ cloning ’ proficiency was n’t a form of mystic ninjutsu at all , but was , instead , something much silly .

Rather than actuallyachieving a sort of Clone Jutsu , the Purple Ninja only enter the aid of four of his brothers as it was revealed that the foeman was just one of five quintuplets . This account as to how the Purple Ninja was seemingly able to clone himself is perfectly absurd as it take this skilled ninja to have four evenly skilled brothers who look incisively like him in every way and were willing to join him in fight at the drop of a hat . While a form ofNaruto ’s Clone Jutsu may survive in theDragon Balluniverse , it was sure not exhibited by the Purple Ninja who effectively made a trick out of the technique .

While ridiculous , the Purple Ninja ’s ‘ cloning ’ method did achieve the same effect asNaruto ’s . Even though he did n’t actually clone himself , the Purple Ninja was still able to surround his enemy with what seemed to be exact copies of himself , which proved in effect in both puzzling Goku and barrage him with attacks from all sides . Technically , Dragon Ball ’s version ofNaruto ’s Clone Jutsu worked just as well , it just requires the ninja using the ‘ technique ’ to have four siblings who front exactly like them and are equally as skilled in combat , which are parameters that are simply   ludicrous .
