I hate it when people say that X-author has ripped off of XX-author. Manga are derivative, okay? Seriously, this really pisses me off. There is no such thing as original. For instance, Luffy and Naruto are based off of Goku, and Goku himself is based off of Sun Wukong, a character from an old Chinese tale. There is so little in this world that is original. Just because there was something that happened one way in a series before this one does not make it a ripoff. You know, there have been dozens of series before Naruto that I reckon have done the "best friend switches sides for personal motive" routine. Owait, let's go back to the 80s and take a look at Vegeta during the Majin saga. Let's move the hate along and stop all the bullshit about ripping stuff off. For fuck's sake.
