I came here to say that it made me laugh so hard knowing what was to come and his excitement when he realized what the sand ment was just priceless I love getting to watch people experience this show for the first time I wish I could watch it again for the first time
IKR. Well, almost everybody. Probabaly everyone but Kimimaro. Jirobo is slow and gets wrecked by the insects sucking up his chakra. For Tayuya his insects could clog her flute so she couldn't play it and his insects are probably resistant or immune to genjutsu as a certain filler suggested. For Sakon, just imagine Sakon trying to invade his body and then the insects in Shino's body just act like scalpels and destroy only Sakon's cells and organs while leaving Shino's alone. Game over for Sakon, his trump card is useless. Kimimaro would potentially be a tough fight compared to the others for him since he leaps around and attacks from a distance, but I am assuming his insects can eat through his troublesome threads considering they are made of chakra mostly and his insects eat chakra. His insects can gradually surround Kimimaro and then swarm him and it's GG lol. Shino's insects are just way too versatile as a weapon and can deal with almost any opponent that doesn't have some way to take him down quickly or avoid the insects entirely. Kimimaro would beat him though I think just cause Kimimaro's agility and strength are just off the charts compared to Shino.
One little thing that I always like to remark is how quick Kiba decided to stab himself to get rid of his enemy. In any other show or with any other character we would have gotten a full on episode of him exploring his options before resorting to that, but here he doesn’t even give the audience time to think about it and just does it. He got that dawg in him
The reason why they didnt do a 5v1 is hecause the others would have escaped with sasuke And every fight would just drag everyone down and let the rest of the enemies escape
Imagine you are lee, hopes almost crushed by Gaara's sand and in your first fight right after you recovered you're suddenly surrounded by that sand, i would freak the fuck out
Dub hater here. You calling us out at Gaara's voice line 1:03:53 . Yeah. That's a good dubbed line. That's fantastic. That's a point to dub right there. Also, why did they dub Akamaru? He's just barking. xD
The cool thing about Kiba here is how animalistically he's written. Wolves and other wild animals would easily sacrifice a limb for the sake of survival. So Kiba being a Beast Tamer shinobi is willing to sacrifice his life to take out a strong enemy. Small little detail but it adds to the subtle characterization
Well yes He probatly would have counterd taijua and sakkon With his bugs He could make the flute useless and swarm taijua Sakkons tec would most likely Not work on shino trough to his Bugs swimmin in his blood wich most likely would freak sakkon out or worse it would just Not go trough
Music: goofy fun anime fight. The visuals: one man gets trapped by a wooden puppet with saw blades for arms, and the other gets locked in a box and gets skewered around 9 times with short sword sized blades
Kiba being the Meg of Naruto might be the funniest thing yet. Also people probably already told you, but they left Neji and Choji to fight is cause they have to stop them before they leave the border to the land of fire. So they couldnt spend to much time to 1 v 5 each time.
I am commenting 40 seconds in, so I might be wrong, lol. But the whole deal with 5 v 1 is that it is safer, but the rest of the sound ninja would just get away with Sasuke. They need to keep the pace. Anyways, awesome react series.
Have been waiting days for this to drop literally have seen all your reaction twice now lol love the humor you give. Can’t wait for the next one to drop and then shippuden
Not sure if this came across, but I think Gaara was also talking about Lee when he said that following a person to a fault may be your downfall, even though it might feel good and right to you. The fight with Kimimaru gave him the insight to understand why Guy acted the way he did and why Lee lost their fight during the chunin exams, despite giving it his all. Lee had the same kind of unhealthy dependance on Guy's approval that Kimimaru had on Orochimaru. Of course, Lee and Guy have a healthier relationship overall, but that aspect of wanting to do anything to impress his teacher is exactly what lead to Lee loosing to Gaara. Gaara couldn't understand at the time but now he understands.
I think it's that his arms work a little bit with a new body but as we saw in the shower they deteriorate quickly. Even in the Tsunade fight he could move them but he had to put a lot of effort into it.
He could still move them pre body swap, but it clearly hurt and couldn’t weave signs. After the switch it seems he got use of his arms back at a basic level
he still cant use jutsu on the level he could... until much later he arms are working because the new bodies arms arent rotten. the chakra/soul part is still missing thus no hand signs
The sound that came from your mouth was the exact sound that came from my mouth when I first watched the Rock Lee's entrance. The exact emotion. That proves that you are a true Naruto fan now.
the kimimaro fight. lee showing up. gaara showing up. ahhhhhh this was my favorite arc in the whole show. the nostalgia and hype I'm getting from watching this again through your channel is 10/10
Also they were showing that zabuza kind of had a heart anyways because the massacre of the kaguya clan was the reason he left the hidden mist and was the place that he came accross haku
Sasuke retrieval arc definitely is the best arc in OG Naruto & 2nd Best arc in whole Naruto series🔥🔥 Lee & Gaara vs Kimimaro fight was goated.The choreography between lee & Kimimaro and dynamics between lee/gaara, & gaara/Kimimaro in this fight was 🔥🔥 Ngl, Kiba & Shikamaru's fight also good
You I know you are probably drop the last big arch and than moving onto to Shippuden but there are a couple of “Filler/not filler” episodes you should check out before moving on to Shippuden that will really help with context and they are Hinata heavy episodes that are pretty important $(148-151-ish)$ they also teach you about “Chakra Nature “ which plays a big roll in Shippuden I know you like Hinata so even if you don’t do a react you should watch them before moving on. Much love brother
Temari is way more OP than I think most give her credit for, I would put her as a much bigger threat than someone like Kankuro. She can just summon massive wind blasts that cut her opponents to pieces like razor blades. The scale and power of the wind attack exceeds what even most Jonin would probably be capable of producing especially with this summoning technique she showed here that enhanced her attack and leveled the whole forest. Shikamaru said it well, she easily defends and attacks at the same time. For most people to beat her they either need insane speed, some way to directly counter her wind jutsu, or an even more destructive jutsu than hers to hit her with before she can hit them. Not saying she is top tier obviously but for a GENIN she is insanely strong and is already well into Jonin level I'd say. Sand is OP.
Your reactions are gold. It's so fun seeing people reacting to Naruto's final arc for the first time. It makes me remember my own excitement and emotions at that time. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the series just as much!
So.. when the Sasuke retrieval arc ends, you can jump to the final episodes to get filled in on where the story picks up in shippuden.. Buuuut the filler arc just before then is all about Gaara who we don't see again from now until then and it's pretty damn good. Most people skip it, but the Sand trio get pupils, and no one wants Gaara as a Master, except one person who has a minor role in Shippuden. It's a great Gaara growth arc and worth watching.
I am surprised you didnt picked up or realised what the Drunken Fist is. I grew up on alot of martial arts films and jackie chans Drunken master was definately a stand out. I was delighted to see A naruto version in Rock Lees character.
I absolutely love to watch you watch the series,,, only one question. are you going to continue to shippuden after this series. There are some absolute beast episodes i need to see your reaction to.
kishimoto was fucking cookin here tbh, thanks for watching the dub, ive been watching along with a few creators and you're the only dub watcher and i absolutely prefer dub. keep it up man
Haku Died thinking Zabuza thought of him as a tool while it was the opposite, Kimimaru died thinking Orichimaru cared about him, and he didn't, similar but different dynamics :( They could have been friends 😭
Easily one of my top 3 fights for all of naruto is the drunken fist fight with lee its so good, and gaara showing up last minute was perfect. Excited for shippuden.
