Fun (non-spoiler) fact: Rock Lee is indeed based on Bruce Lee - his name is a joke because in Japanese, Bruce Lee sounds like "Blues Lee", so Rock Lee is supposed to be one step beyond Bruce Lee in the same way Rock music was an evolution of Blues music 😄

​@SoloRaiju Spoiler Alert. Sad Swing gets more screen time than Tenten 🥲

A bit of explaination: 1. When Kakashi said that he became a Chunin at an age twice younger than Naruot, he wasn't exaggerating, he really did. And by the age of Naruto (aka 12), he got the rank of Jonin (the highest rank of Ninja that could be earned through missions and exams). But how and why - you gotta wait and see. No spoilers here. 2. When Might Guy was telling that he and kakshi are rivals and have almost 50/50 win rate, he wasn't joking, exaggerating or telling lies. Yes, a guy (he-hee) who's style of fighting is just Martial Arts without any Jutsu is just as powerfull as the Ninja that copied over 1000 Jutsu and was at the top of Ninja promotion tree at the age of 12. Despite Guy's and Rock Lee's appearence and personalities are goofy, you definitely don't want to underestimate them. And yes, both of their designs and conepts are based on Bruce Lee.

I feel like it kinda loses that unique character in Shippuden. Well, a little before that. The final arc of Part 1 was completely devoid of 'believe it,' for example, and it was dropped from then on in favor of 'ya know,' which is more of a literal adaptation of a verbal tick, since that's what 'dattebayo' is

I love how you’re picking up on one if the most overlooked parts of the show: Naruto doesn’t change. He changes everyone around him. He’s like Captain America or Marty McFly. It’s also extremely apparent within the fillers because Naruto changes a lot of hearts and minds in Filler also but especially in the main canon! I think there’s a section cut from the Ocean Cut in this part where kakashi agrees to let Iruka Sensei test the Rookies, so Iruka tries to trap/kidnap Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura in disguise as a test and they all surprise him with how much they’ve grown and he agrees with Kakashi that they’re ready for the Exams.

@SoloRaiju

8 ай бұрын

yeah I learned that character type from goku. 'flat character arc'. Yeah like cap etc. they change others, instead of changing themselves. Which is why it's a lot easier for many to like Vegeta more, cause it's a more easily identified character progression

I really hope you're enjoying the show. It's still my favorite anime - no matter how many I watch - love the way you're splitting this up. Lets get going!

A lot of the tactics they use to cheat are kind of obvious, but I have a couple ways to justify it. 1. An instance of cheating is only a 2 point deduction, so even if you get caught once or twice, you can still do fine. 2. My headcanon is that the sentinels will overlook cheating if they think it was clever enough. Obviously there aren't a lot of options for cheating when you have to sit in one spot and are constantly watched by a team of people, so I assume that if you are quick enough or creative enough, they'll give you a pass.

Regarding the information gathering part of the exams: Certain aspects of the promotion to Chunin itself are still determined by the Village who the ninja belongs to. While it didn't directly factor into passing or failing the first stage (except for instantly filtering the bad cheaters), it does have an effect on judging if someone is truly fit to be a Chunin or not.

19:02 its hilarious because that's what EVERYONE kept saying back during this time. because the show really does give ALOT of power to sasuke, while naruto has a much slower and procedural growth. its something you dont see in any other shonnen. which is also why the series work so well. it allows us to see that naruto isnt just a gary stu. he is often the butt of jokes earlier on, and he is alot weaker by comparisson. i dont want to spoil but the show does an amazing job at making it worth the wait.

Not gonna lie, I did read DB/DBZ through and through, but never got into another anime for quite some time. A friend of mine got through my thick skull with a stupid bet that I lost, and made me watch a few episodes of Naruto to try and get me hooked... and hooked I Became. I was surprised at the amount of depth the story and each character has, and especially since yeah, there are some easy outs here and there (with the clone jutsu, morphing into a log to prevent being hit, mind tricks and stuff) to get easy wins, it really did a good job actually avoiding those easy outs. Every fight is VERY well thought out and some fights are simply spectacular. I hope you'll enjoy the ride as much as I did when I plowed through the entire serie, Naruto AND Naruto Shippuden. Your reactions reminds me of my own and you've got good intuitions.
