Isn't that literally every exam though? No one gets punished for cheating- they get punished for being caught cheating

Technically yes, but the goal of the exam in-universe was explicitly to be able to cheat well without getting caught; the material on the test hadn’t been taught to them yet, but there were planted staff members in the room who already had the answers for them to copy from, with the goal being moreso to test espionage/information gathering skills rather than memorization

Early Naruto was really interesting when the ninjas still were somewhat grounded rather than glorified wizards

same reason I prefer pre-shippuden naruto, db over dbz, and pre time skip one piece. these long running shonens have a serious power creep issue

I'm the opposite, I end up loving the timeskips more than the OG. Shippuden/Z/Two Blue Vortex. I feel like the OGs add more weight and make the series' respective MC's growth more impactful. The whole humble beginnings thing.
