What followed was not guidance.
It was a Jonin-grade diss.
Reptar, a Silence Jonin whose avatar is a cartoon crocodile with sunglasses and a mic, replied with the now-infamous line:
“Aren’t you a lil old for a Genin?”
The room temperature dropped.
Mugiwara blinked once, then replied with spiritual fire:
“Are you saying I’m a failed ninja because of my age?”
Tavern goers say you could hear the “OHHHHHHHHHHHH” from across the tavern.
Let’s review the facts: Mugiwara has 437,385 XP, a flawless skincare routine, a visible chest tattoo, and the quiet rage of a man who has fought 199 PvE battles and still hasn’t been picked for the Academy dodgeball team.
He might be level 20, but emotionally? He’s a Jonin with taxes and heartbreak.
Meanwhile, Reptar—who has no students, no ANBU credentials, and the vibe of a children’s party entertainer—thought this was the moment to question someone's ninja worth.
This sparked the real question:
Why is it still controversial for older Genin to seek guidance?
Is this Genin-shaming?
Shouldn’t wisdom be earned at your own damn pace?
One thing is clear:
Mugiwara doesn’t need rank validation.
He needs a sensei who won’t judge his chapter by the XP bar.
So unless Reptar’s cartoon lizard is handing out teaching licenses, we respectfully request:
Let the man Genin in peace.
