Why do shounen mangaka have such a hard time sticking with the plot?
For example, Naruto started out about a trio of child soldiers being trained in a military academy for ninjas. The cool twist was that the ninjas used magic sometimes and had seemingly inhuman acrobatic skills.
By the end of the series it was battle mages slamming the same spells at each other over and over until the next asspull. Aliens from the moon, atomizing cubes, thousands of years of torture with just a glance of an eye. No knives, no shuriken, no kicking, just "FIREBALL" "FREEZE RAY" "FIREBALL" "FREEZERAY" How hard is it to just stay on topic? Why force it into a kaiju vs. mecha manga?
Almost every successful shounen has a similar fall. Why is it so difficult to just stick with the plan?
