Orochimaru is seriously sooo f-ing cool, you have these powerful clans and sealed demons in this anime, meanwhile bro is literally just a dude, not from any big clan, not any special hereditary technique, he just learned so much he's technically not even human anymore and he's strong enough that only the gods of the verse can fight with him
When you realize that throughout this whole fight Orochimaru had completely non-functional arms and therefore was unable to cast proper jutsus AND was also sick and his body was slowly deteriorating at this point too is the moment you understand just how fucking insanely strong Orochimaru is. Like this is Naruto's strongest form YET up to this point, and this is the same form that a YOUNGER version of Naruto used to almost KILL Jiraiya.
Orochimaru used any means necessary to get stronger even learning all forbidden jutsus and experiments and stuff. Jiraiya didn't, so narratively it makes sense why orochimaru is stronger.
Durability doesn't necessarily translate to strength. Orochimaru is the hardest to kill bastard ever, but even with his Jutsu's I wouldn't be so sure he'd win against this form in the end, DEFINITELY not if the nine tails gets to keep leaking out. It's more of a stalemate then anything, Orochimaru can't beat the nine-tails but if he really *tries* to run away then I don't think the nine-tails would be able to catch him either, so neither one would win. In a fight to the DEATH well, it pretty much exclusively comes down to if Orochimaru could seal the nine-tails' chakra after 4 tails are out. If he can't then he's dead, he ain't beating the nine-tails, but if he can then he wins because Naruto at this point ain't winning without the cloak.
Man, watching Nicks reactions just remind me how PEAK the first 50 episodes of Shippuden really were. Its crazy how good this show was at the early stages.
It just keeps getting better and better from here on, up next Hidan and Kakuzu arc, then Jiraiya's infiltration into the Rain village, Sasuke vs Itachi, Pain's invasion, 5 kage summit. Show is absolutely fucking GOATED
@@crocoboi7936 very underrated arc tbh. Banger action, sasuke's descent into full on final boss role, and the first lore dump surrounding the Indra and Ashura cycle
demon slayer season 2 was mid definitely aint no competition the only thing it has on naruto is animation which can easily be matched if naruto dropped today demon slayers story and plot is ass currently 😂😂 jjk is good and i cant lie it would be a good contender but i think jjk doesnt have enough longevity and i know people think it isn't important but it is to help us grow and watch the characters develop in jjk we rarely see that the character development is slow and i think gojo just takes away too much from everyone else hes basically the main character when hes not the protagonist 😂😂😂 but if im being honest naruto isnt really the best either the shows about sauske and naruto the rest are all pushed to the side after the first series i still think the first series alone would be enough to go number 1 shippuden is good but there are parts where i can see people wanting to skip
Man i cant wait for you to get to episode 112-175, remember my words, it's the peak of naruto and one of the greatest experience someone can have with anime.
What's crazy is that Kiba with Akamaru in that fused form only dented one Rashomon, it was their ultimate attack, but Naruto in this form used normal tailed beast bomb and in a split second, destroyed all three, with no real effort
See Nick is the perfect reactor he takes the feedback from his fans and pushes out the content people want the most fastest keep it up I can’t wait for you to see what this show has in store
I like that Nick appreciates the sound design, the OST and the VAs a lot. Too many examples here: 6:16 "Chidori!", 7:32, 9:32, 10:18, 11:18, 17:16-17:45.
Seeing how hyped Nick is for all this I just need to see that Episode Count climb into hundreds asap lol, My man is not ready for Naruto few hundred Episodes from now, Hell hes not ready for Naruto 70 Chapters from now… Ah man I cant wait!!
4:17 Orochimaru said Naruto was still no match with Sasuke because He already said that Naruto is "Borrowing" Powers from Nine Tail to get that strong, in other hand Sasuke is growing to another level under Orochimaru's training to reach out his own true potential. By that comparison that's why Orochimaru was saying that Naruto is still no match for Sasuke (if we count it from their own power and abilities)
Oh was this really the first time Orochimaru showed that he could spit up a new body for himself in the series? 😂 I dont even remember. Its been so long since I watched the show. Either way, gotta love the creepy snake man.
This is one of my peak moments of Naruto! The Sanju Rashomon that gets OBLITERATED, and still Orochimaru is pushed back and drilled into the ground, absolute awesomeness!!!! SPOILER: . . . If you already know the end or "last part" of Naruto, it's actually jaw-dropping how good the times where when the Kyuubi was still a threat to the whole story... After Naruto friend-zoned Kurama, it was of course also cool, but on a totally different level. The threat of Kyuubi was a really big deal, and quite missed :) .
This episode is Fuego… but believe me you haven’t seen nothing yet because… like you said.. the Pain Arc. Arguably the greatest arc in the history of all Anime.
