Just to clear it up: The underlying point behind the Naruto comment is this: Afterimage from DBZ is, for the sake of final result, the same technique that people have used in multiple anime. Yeah, "the character has to set up Replacement Technique in advance" but I'd like someone to point out to me a moment when it was actually set up in advance. No, I don't mean "The writer showed a flashback after they had swapped back and forth in a five log chain for a single attack how they had each out-thought the other like the Cicillian of the Princess Bride" type thing. I mean, show me where the writer has them chilling out one day and going "Ok, I think the fight will happen something like this, so Naruto, I want you to place that log right here and dress it up to look like me, ok?"

That's what we are told happens, but the writer has no structural reason other than "its lame to overuse this getaway card" that prevents him from blurring over just doing it.

We do not have a game structure that says "it costs __ Action Points and two turns to set up that technique in advance".
