gara is scary the way he just kills people, naruto killing characters in general makes it feel different from other shows, also rock lee peak.

As a note for Gaara’s Sand Burial, all that black stuff flew out. That is supposed to be the dude’s blood.

oh wait that's kinda true actually. I'm still more surprised I didn't clock it, or even consider it was his blood lol. idk what I thought it was

I really like that you said that you find it endearing that Sakura is self aware because she really is. She knows she has been hiding behind the boys and she is frustrated that she is weaker, but in the end she really cares for them and wants to protect them. A lot of people give her crap and hate her when really, she is a normal young girl, trying to find her way in a crazy world while her teammates each got super powers in their arsenal. Also the fact that Sakura was able to calm Sasuke down from the curse mark shows that he does care about her a lot more then he showed until this point. Great reaction, can't wait for the next part. :D

People clown on Sakura because she's in a team with two broken AF characters who are practically demi-gods as far as lore goes. If they didn't have plot armor and busted abilities, Sakura would easily be recognized as the single most talented ninja of her class.

@justincain2702

God it's just so frustrating. All of the setup is there for Sakura to be a strong character, but Kishimoto just fumbles the bag every time! The fight against the sound ninja makes me cringe because it's so well done until the very end when Sakura just bites Zaku for her finishing move. All he had to do was write in that Ino Shikamaru and Choji come in to save her before that point and let her fight along side them. Her failing to take any of them out and then being completely absent for the rest of the fight really undermines her "blossoming" moment.

@cheyennemoore8380

Perfectly said. This was also what I was thinking.

49:27 One of the reasons why Sakura calls Ino a pig is because her name means pig (I think). There's a card game called Koi-Koi that has you making pairs and some cards have animals in them. There's a hand called InoShikaCho which is the pig/boar, deer, and butterfly. That's why those 3 (Ino, Shikamaru, Choji) have a formation called InoShikaCho.

Sasuke didn't dodge the neck bite because he couldn't. When Orochimaru clapped his hands together making Sakura and Saskue scream, he'd initiated a paralysis jutsu to keep them from moving.

ah that makes sense. I was gonna say he was doing all that crazy dodging before

20:14 keep pausing and you'll see Sasuke snapped his neck before he released some fire. The animators had a lot of fun with this. Also Orochimaru is still the scariest antagonist in the Naruto series. He left such an impression when he first appeared. Also I think Sasuke removed that guys arm in the manga

I like how you highlighted how they built up Gara and Lee as almost like opposites, so fun seeing how lots of things are being foreshadowed rewatching this with you.

I’ve said it on a couple other videos but man there are sooooo many awesome moments that I can’t wait for you to get too. This is gonna be a ton of fun. Shippuden is definitely way better than Naruto but that doesn’t mean that Naruto doesn’t have a ton of really great moments + good fights and it helps set up the world for Shippuden so I’m glad you didn’t skip it.

A LOG! NO WAY!... thanks for this comment man, super kind. making vids people look forward to is kinda insane to think about, but I'm glad people enjoying em :)

this part of the exam is definitely focused a lot on Sasuke he gets to shine and has significant plot points :) Sasuke has been shown to be pretty good at feeling the level of the opposition, against Zabuza he knew he was outmatched and here as well he couldnt see himself winning :) love the reveal of Orochimaru here its perfect for him, with the atmosphere and the music, still shrouded in mystery, proper intimidating villain :D Naruto going berserk never gets old, now more people got a glimpse of it, epic moment how he protected Sasuke :) tbf to Sakura despite being weaker than the others she was never really a coward :) Sasuke vs Orochimaru is a great fight too people tend to forget about it but its really well done :) this also made Anko more intriguing making that connection with Orochimaru :) Sound guys are really savage, makes sense that village is Orochimaru's, they were willing to bomb a squirrel xD ye its great to see how everything is done with purpose, the whole show is self-aware in every moment, Sakura tries her best but still had something holding her back, here it symbolizes how she is willing to move forward and leave the past behind, set her priorities straight :) Lee got to impress here which was cool as well as Team 10 Ino-Shika-Cho they showed they arent that bad their teamwork is actually solid :D Sasuke's awakening is hype af, so many people got the Curse Mark tattoos cause of that :) Gaara is honestly my fave character in the OG series he is so well done, his proper introduction here is iconic :D those guys attacking us at the end were from the Hidden Rain village :) Naruto got to shine here at the end, more people got to witness his growth and recognize him :) good guy Kabuto was a bit too good to be true what a shame :P now it makes sense why he keeps retaking the test :D Iruka still loves Naruto though thats important :) obviously the show is gonna be childish to an extent since we got a lot of children here but it makes perfect sense for the story too, the characters gotta feel natural and authentic and its intriguing watching these kids grow and having to deal with the harsh reality, having these tonal shifts in the show keeps you on your toes :)

@SOLDAT_MENDES

I agree with your assessment of this part of the Chunin Exams. Sasuke is definitely the focus, and he has some significant plot points. He is shown to be very perceptive, and he knows when he is outmatched. I also agree that Orochimaru's reveal is perfect. He is shrouded in mystery, and he is a very intimidating villain. Naruto's berserk mode is always epic, and it is great to see that more people got a glimpse of it. I think it is fair to say that Sakura is not a coward. She may be weaker than the others, but she is always willing to fight. Her fight against Orochimaru is a good example of this. I also agree that the Sound Ninja are very savage. It makes sense that they are from Orochimaru's village. I think it is great that the show is self-aware. Sakura's arc in this part of the exam is a good example of this. She is shown to be willing to move forward and leave the past behind. I am also glad that Lee and Team 10 got to shine in this part of the exam. They showed that they are not as weak as some people think. Sasuke's awakening is definitely hype. It is no wonder that so many people got the Curse Mark tattoos because of it. I agree that Gaara is one of the best characters in the OG series. His introduction in this part of the exam is iconic. I am also glad that Naruto got to shine at the end. He showed more growth, and more people got to recognize him. I think it is understandable that Kabuto was a bit too good to be true. He is a very mysterious character, and it makes sense that he would have hidden his true intentions. I am glad that Iruka still loves Naruto. It is important that Naruto has someone who believes in him. I agree that the show is going to be childish to an extent. It is about a bunch of kids, after all. However, I think that it does a good job of balancing the childishness with the harsh reality of the ninja world. The tonal shifts in the show keep things interesting. Note: Overall, I think this part of the Chunin Exams is very well done. It is a great example of what makes Naruto so special.

I never hear such good words towards Hinata either, so that made me happy. Tenten basically disappears, and I love Saukra's arc with Ino and Lee here. I also wish it was a better backstory, but they let her shine finally (until she gets better in Shippuden) so can't wait for that. Thanks for this video.

And thank you for not being unfair to Sakura, so many people love to hate on her, but imo she's one of the characters who grow the most in the series. Yuri and Maile, the voice actors for Sasuke and Naruto, are SO TALENTED, i usually only watch sub but they're just as good as the japanese seiyuu!

My absolute freaking favorite part of Naruto ever..Forest of Death is the best part of the best arc in Naruto, imo. I remember watching this back in like 2006 and nothing was cooler and more captivating than this. Naruto felt like a next level for me and probably the first teen oriented anime. I've never seen a "cartoon" show before with this level of violence, blood and all (although they've censored the hell out of it where i was watching it). But most importantly the story, characters, the atmosphere were amazing. Suspense, struggle, survival were so well depicted in this arc. It's so well done. Many years later this is still very interesting to watch. And nostalgia is definitely not a deciding factor at how good it is. And yes, this is definitely not a kids show as you can see for yourself already)
