^ The manga already jumped ahead.

I seriously doubt they would use the name "naruto Z". The latter part of the Dragonball anime was called Z because it was originally going to be a short section that would end the series. It wouldn't make sense for anyone else to use it,

This needs to be in spoiler tags.

Also, I know that Naruto is considered the next generation DBZ by the anti-narutards, but that doesn't mean that Naruto is going to copy DBZ and call it "Naruto Z". It means it will never happen.

No, it was given the Z to denote a change in the tone and direction of the series, switching from a fantasy comedy adventure show with some fighting elements to a straight-up science fiction fighting series. The manga, however, simply kept the name "Dragon Ball" until the end of the Buu Arc.

That's correct, it will be named "Yu Yu Bleachruto Z" instead.

I always thought the unofficial (fan-dubbed) name was Naruto 2.

I'm sure the name will stay the same, unless they decide to go on hiatus and then start up again later, then they may decide to do something like that. There simply isn't any reason to change the name. Other series have had time skips (DBZ had another timeskip between the Cell and Buu sagas) without name changes.

There is no OFFICIAL notification that the official title of the series will change at any time.

On the other hand (very slight manga spoilers), spoiler[the manga arcs following the three year gap ARE a bit "bigger" and more kinetic in nature than the first part of the series, similarly to how Z was more kinetic than Dragon Ball, especially the most recent arc. It's still Naruto though, I'm enjoying it quite a bit, and look forward to seeing certain things in animation.]

Ok I understand but what is the possiablity than it will become "Naruto Z" and not "Naruto 2"? Isn't there a trademark on the letter "Z" in draggonball? and let say there is trademark on the "Z", then that means that naruto can't copy it.

Another thing: Will it happen at episode 180 or not? Can't find information on this subject. Try to e-mail TV Tokyo but they didn't reply yet.

It's currently assumed to happen at that time because that will be the start of the new season.

So, can Takeuchi Naoko-san sue Takahashi Kazuki-san from "stealing" the R in Sailor Moon R when he created the manga Yugioh R?

You can't trademark a letter.
