Naruto has built a decades-long legacy as one of the most beloved anime and manga franchises of all time, with particular adoration for how it scales up to progressively more epic battles by the end. Like most popular entertainment media, creator Masashi Kishimoto is known for incorporating pop-cultural influences into his character designs and even the scope of their fights. One particularly exciting element that’s shown fairly regularly is Kishimoto’s adoration for the Godzilla franchise and kaiju-scale battles, with the final fight of Naruto echoing this sentiment rather clearly.
