You can tell he's getting addicted to Naruto as these vids come out faster and faster. It's like watching myself watch Naruto for the first time it's great
The worst without a doubt, coulda done without it and distributed that time to og Naruto for more development for the rest of the K12 with more missions
For reference, the village elders are not technically in charge. The village elders are advisors. They do some of the day to day admin and they generally are the ones who pick who is nominated to become Kage. And think of the foundation as the KGB
I've seen Naruto and Shippuden 3 times through, watches character analyses, clips, etc... not have I ever even once thought of the comparisons to the substitute teacher skit 😂 that was glorious. Also, appreciate you bringing "A LOG" back. It hasn't left my brain since you highlighted it
Yep.. and honestly thats why i think he was such a good antivillain.. especially since he is the reason we got one of the best anti-heroes in anime itachi..
You've been feeding us so good lately buddy I am eternally grateful. You're my fav reactor to naruto in particular you just notice all my favorite parts and love all my favorite characters! Its like watching a friend see it for the first time!
The two old people w/ Danzo are village elders and act as advisors to the hokage. They are respected former Shinobi. They don't command Tsunade, but could potentially rally the village against her with their influence. Iirc
The scanslators and fansubbers also used Root. "Ne" must mean both, and Foundation does sound black-ops ish, but Root is definitely more thematic. I still sometimes call the Final Valley the Valley of the End lol
Not 100% sure but I think the manga initially translated it as Root until the English dub got there and changed it. I know the fan translations I read did.
Yeah, I agree. And original word in Japanese is also "root" It also doesn't fully convey the idea - "foundation" means something that is used as a basis for something else, something that reliably holds everything. Which isn't representative at all. While "root" means something that is hidden, and something that is from the very far past - which is exactly what Root as organisation is.
The thing about structure in Shinobi villages that wasn't reall explained till this point is that each Village has Elders, like Chiyo and her Brother in the Sand village. They mostly have passive influence over the Kage's decisions as their opinion is held in high regard. Though I advise you to remember the Konoha Elders that were shown here, as well as Danzo. Why? You'll see.
Remember in the 3rd hokage fight when the first hokage appeared they mentioned he created the whole forest that the leaf village is hidden in as well as the original houses and buildings
this arc is a bit slower but feels like a proper buildup for what‘s to come. i also really like how the introduction of danzo gets us more into the leaf village‘s backroom politics while the introduction of sai builds towards sasuke‘s reintroduction in the future. also, i’m always glad to see orochimaru lmao
Took off work today. Then I saw this was posted and realized why Also cannot wait for the next one. Watching these next episodes was the first time in a while I got as hyped as I did
I love the edited content, you do a fantastic job with pace and humor. I do think that if you had a twitch or something that you livestream the reactions for I would watch those as well lol
Yay it's here!!!! I want to watch it in 5 minute increments so it never ends lmao. You should throw all of these into one huge mega comp when u finish the series. I'd watch them every night as a bedtime story. Appreciate the work as always bro. Edit: I already "sai" when I look at him 😂
14:14 "Now I know you're not packing anything major" This line & Naruto's reaction is a bit lost due to English translation. When they first met Sai didn't say Naruto had no balls, he said "Do you even have a d!ck". Hence why Sai says Naruto isn't packing anything major & why when they first met Naruto blushed.
Wood jutsu is special because it’s the only one that can create living things out of chakra. Creating life is supposed be the domain of gods. Also, the first Hokage created the entire forest outside the Hidden Leaf Village.
32:10 that's correct. kononoha wasn't built by the first, it was created by him. it was revealed in some supplementary materials so I don't think it's much of a spoiler
45:15 - Lord Orochimaru has been Sasuke's new Sensei for the past 3 years, just like Naruto was Jiraiya's Pupil for 3 years. all three of Team Kakashi's members, trained by the Legendary Sanin of the Leaf. making all their potential extremely high.
That 'interesting new OST' with Danzo gazing out over the village is not new. It's the OST that was playing when Chiyo was staring at Sasori in disbelief upon seeing his face, up until he pulled out the Third Kazekage puppet.
You are killing it on the reactions dude! Best way to start the week! P.S. I think Sai’s powers are underrated! So creative and flexible in many situations!
Naruto could still control up to 3 tails in the manga but the anime changed it in the Gaara arc. It's confirmed later on by Naruto (by Jiraiya too in that hospital) that after the time skip all his 9 tails stuff were intentional before the 4th tail.
Tiny spoiler (not important to the plot and doesnt give anything away on the story) Danzo leads the Foundation, which used to be the training division for the Anbu black ops. The Third Hokage disbanded the Foundation after the dispute Tsunade mentioned, with regards to its official involvement in the Anbu and Leaf policy. The Foundation now is a separate intel division that doesnt really have any official standing within the Leaf. Its kind of a private organization now. Danzo still remains as one of the elder advisors to the Hokage, along with the two old bags that tried to ground Naruto. None of which have any real power or authority, just their influence. The Foundation itself is separate from the regular Anbu.
Just as like an fyi, you said people "turn into logs" in their substitution jutsu - that's not really the case. They're actually "using" logs that are just... around. It's like an implied thing, rather than said. It's kind of weird, because water users can create MASSIVE waterfalls out of no where, unlike in avatar where they are using what's available to them. Most people can't "create" wood, but Yamato can (more or less), which only the first hokage could do before him. Other substitutions use something near them to substitute their form with when they get hit, like a wooden log, or how naruto uses his clones in substitutions of other people.
24:55 - nothing Standard about Wood Style at all, of course that's not known to you yet, because Kishimoto hasnt communicated about Jutsu and Elements. just take my word on it for now, that Wood Style is actually quite advanced.
Tbf to Naruto he hasn't seen Shino or anyone else since he left with Jiraya at the end of the original series. Would've been hilarious if they pulled off something like Guy and Kisame's "have I seen you before" though.
My fave reactor huhu I don't watch solo people reactions but I make an exception for Solo Raiju... I don't watch dubs, but I make exceptions for this channel. Hope you continue AOT tho..
