Why Orochimaru Wears the Wrong Clothes the Entire Naruto Series 

A child's body, and that's not creepy at all.

His war outfit.

Classic or casual t shirt.

War outfit.

just him fully nude. don't ask where I saw that

He liked it so much that in Boruto he even decided to go more androgynous to look like her. But seriously, Orochimaru in Part 1 only lives in a woman's body, there's Shiore, there's the unknown ninja he was using as a body and that we saw in the fight against Hiruzen, and in Boruto he got more androgynous. I personally always found Orochimaru as a female to be the most terrifying version of the character, I don't know why. Him as Shiore in the Forest of Death is the most terrifying version of the character for me, the version of him with the original body just doesn't have the same impact, secondly there's the female version of him fighting Hiruzen, which is the body of some Kunoichi he used as a vessel for his soul. The voice of the female versions are creepy. And every time I see him swallowing and spitting things out of his mouth I laugh because I think it's funny, but the female versions for some reason make everything seem more terrifying, him swallowing that scroll in the Forest of Death terrified me as a child, and for for some reason I tried to imitate later I don't know why. The laugh of the female version of him in the fight against Hiruzen for me is one of my favorite moments in the series. Maybe it's not just me, I mean, every time Kishimoto wants to turn Orochimaru into something out of a horror movie he turns him into a woman: First there's the Forest of Death, and in the fight against Hiruzen he uses Orochimaru turning into a woman to show how sick/evil/scary he is. And there's Boruto where he became a single mother. But I don't want to talk about Boruto.

6:58

Kishimoto probably does that to emphasize that Orochimaru is so inhuman at that point that simple biological classifications cannot even be applied to him anymore. Not to mention, the fact that he seems to only steal the bodies of women and teenage boys reminds us of predators of another sort and makes him look even more evil.

haha, that would be a quirky twist.

@@Oblivion___ Yeah, Orochimaru's female versions definitely bring a different kind of terror and impact to the character. It's interesting how Kishimoto uses these transformations to create a sense of horror. And yeah, Boruto has its own unique twists and turns.

“So I gotta kill one student to impersonate… who’s got the best drip?”

haha, that would be quite a fashion statement for Orochimaru and his village.

I assumed the village took on the outfit in that month waiting for the chunin exams.

Imagine being killed and now your Assassin stole your drip and make all his followers have the same drip, i would be honored tbh

He was posessing a girl at the time. So there's that

M DAMN IT

Lol whatever works I guess. He just likes those clothes I guess

No its not

@@jbo4547Great commentary. I love the part where you explained yourself so eloquently that it brought a tear to my eye. You should start your own channel.

lol, seems like Kishimoto might have slipped up on that one.

​@SOLDAT_MENDES not the first time, wasn't the last.

Change states of being.

I thought the same thing lmao

*Shiore:* "Over my dead b-" *Oorochimaru:* "Fine by me!"

omg that scene, with that exact line delivery, SHOULD have been in the show, it is a crime this was never made canon

​@@kuroketsu5908like, as in, matter?

Shiori Shiori Shori Shory Shorty

Form

haha, sounds like Orochimaru was really inspired by Shiori's style.

😂😂😂😂 drake

And, well, Shiori too, we can guess ? (for the rest of the henchmen, it is likely more the "guarding the sacred" approach or something) Also, thank for the lesson.

lol, that's an interesting observation, The use of the shimenawa rope around Orochimaru's waist could definitely symbolize his narcissistic nature.

Could also be a nod to his design being inspired by a ghost. The pale skin, long hair, and extendo neck are all part of a classic Japanese ghost story.

@@MrDj232 true, it's possible that Gojo's design was inspired by Japanese ghost stories. The pale skin, long hair, and elongated neck do resemble the characteristics of a ghost in Japanese folklore. It's a cool nod if that's the case.

Maybe that's the reason Akuma wears that big rope.

HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAA, i'm dead.

Danm thats some nice stats for a starter armor

Lmaoooo

lmao, that's dedication to fashion.

Orochimaru: I'll just have to change the leg parts and get myself ankle wraps.

sounds like Orochimaru has a fashion upgrade in mind.@@mdrstudios7067

💀💀💀

Y'know with how Naruto kept dripping "masterminds" I can believe it Pain: "I am the mastermind behind the Akatsuki" Obito: "I am the mastermind behind pain and the Akatsuki" Madara"I am the mastermind behind Obito, pain, and the Akatsuki" B. Zetsu: "I am the mastermind behind Madara, Obito, pain, and the Akatsuki" Kaguya: "I am the mastermind behind B. Zetsu, Madara, Obito, pain, and the Akatsuki" Purple Belt: *"AAHAA IT WAS I ALL ALONG!!"*

That was my thought too. Also, maybe in the grass village that's the normal fashion and Orochimaru just liked the style. I'm assuming he's been in the area or been in that village before, so it's not a stretch to think that he knows about that grass village drip

I think it makes the most amount of sense that orochimaru the snake man would have been hiding in the GRASS village for a while, So it's not far-fetched that he made his sound village out of people he took from the grass village and that's why they all share fashion.

look at this youtube channel and what vids and takes he makes. hes clearly just trying to find any reason to talk shit about naruto or tries to make plotholes up when he can because thats what works best for his viewers. it isnt too far fetched too just assume that orochimaru keeps his outfits even if he changes bodies and even if its a plothole, who cares?😭does not affect the story in any way

@@xxXDrManhattanXxx I don't know if you watch the video to the end but he literally said that it's a very minor plot hole that doesn't actually affect the story He just noticed they wanted to make a video lol

@@Chronal-Rend and still he made a whole ass video about it and treated it like a important point until he said that? just saying that this guy tries to nitpick anything in the franchise for clout and sometimes even makes things up

even before meeting her

And this. Is why Sasuke is one of his fav, along with Kimimaro who likely just took it and already went to change without question.

@@orianefaton1885 Yup.

I guess the sound four were potential candidates but I always thought they wore the outfits out of respect for Orochimaru.

I think it’s the grass village attire

All that just so he can wear his favorite outfit? Sounds like Orochimaru

nah, you're not tripping. That theory actually makes a lot of sense considering Orochimaru's sneaky and manipulative nature.

I personally never thought this was a plot hole,I assumed she was a sound ninja pretending to be from another village and orochimaru killed her once her role was finished,another thought I had was that the sound adopted the outfit to honor orochimaru during the month wait for the chunin exams finals.

Omg thank God. Haha this guy. .. obviously it worked the other way around. It's weird cuz he even said that the hideout had everyone wearing so u would think it would be obvious

Well we know Orochimaru has spies in other villages, for example Kabuto pretending to be a leaf ninja for most of his life so this makes alot of sense. Once people serve their purpose he tosses them aside like trash.

ye

Same. That outfit was badass and practical. What's funny is that having a vest with pockets and all, the Sound Village sent their ninja in purple clothes and more Pretzels

I am also a bit of a fan of the kimono-style robes he was seen wearing once or twice, fits his airy, sophisticated, arrogant personality

Now he's concerned feminine dad.

@@obsideonyx7604 looooooooool!!!!!!

The anime turned into a horror movie every single time my man appeared. All characters shat themselves and got paralyzed and shir and he was all creepy and legit fucking insanely evil.

Not just sasuke, the whole sound village

why are you assuming that he took her look? the pants and shoes that he wears are different to the ones that she wore. It makes more sense that they had the same shirt because she was one of his underlings.

Let’s not forget he was also trying to get the most “perfect” body Man concluded perfect body is female 😂

Honestly I think it’s even more hilarious if Orochimaru already liked that style saw her ripping off his brand and said alright that’s the bitch I’m going to kill

But does that explain the outfit?

@@Brutalyte616 it would mean the outfit was originally Orochimaru’s, like in the Kabuto flashback. She just mirrored him, instead of the other way around

Convoluted but plausible

oof, that would definitely be a dark twist in their relationship.

If they left Orochimaru then they would also ditch the clothing for something else. Most likely they were still part of Orochimaru's group and he merely killed them as he did with several of his own followers.

The Sound Four also wear the purple belt, implying it is standard attire in the Sound.

Orochimaru being jealous and killing Shiore because she wore the outfit better would definitely be an interesting twist. And the idea of him wearing the standard attire of the Hidden Grass Village to blend in is a clever observation too.

Its funny because none of the dead guys had their cloth’s stolen just their faces so that could actually be the case…😆

And he kept him wearing the same fit as him (canon in manga) and his team lay lifeless in the opening outside the forest of death

And Orochimaru also has ankle wraps.

So different bottoms and covered ankles, got it

@@OctogonOxygen024816 Yup, excellent.

My favourite Orochimaru's costume was his Hidden Sound shinobi outfit. I wished he'd wear it on his fight with Hiruzen.

True that’s what I was thinking

lmao

nice mental gymnastics there

Nope sometimes creators make mistakes. No need to make excuses or do mental gymnastics just accept it.

@@Mr.Erikstad How do you fail to realize that this is a joke?

@OnAChairSitting cuz there are a lot of people here that would not mean this as a joke.

His outfit wasn't iconic by the time he fights Hiruzen. You can excuse it away that he only had the disguise and the jonin outfit for the infiltration, but after that there isn't a reason. It could've been an editor decision to leave his outfit the way it is for character recognizability.

@@sor3999 her and Orochimaru are wearing different shoes and pants. They're not wearing the exact same clothes. And there is a reason as to why he has the outfit throughout the series. It's because it's his outfit, the fact that the sound ninja 5 have similar outfits confirms this.

Like, it was stole from him or something and he was pissed and decided to be petty about it ? XD

@@orianefaton1885 maybe it was an old outfit and he had one of his servants throw it away but ended up in a thrift store in the grass village lol and orochimaru is a weird mf i dont think its far fetched he acted petty about someone having the same outfit as he did lol

Honestly it's probably just an oversight and Kishimoto forgetting why Orochimaru was wearing the outfit in the first place

@@grayackerman2119 Out of universe, definitely. In universe it's a weird situation. Shiore's corpse is wearing the same outfit as Orochimaru in the Forest of Death. Why do they both have the same clothes?

He probably just forgot

he just needed one more outfit though that is not shioris. and he got multiple outfits anyways. so the reason is probably NOT that he didn't want to draw lots of outfits, but rather that this specific outfit just worked the best and that's why he kept it (like explained in the video)

I like that explaination. It would also explain why no one was wondering why Shiori had the inhuman long tongue and was eating the paper roll

But by that logic she would have recognized the clothes when Orochimaru was wearing them, still disguised

@@DM-Oz maybe he started wearing those clothes after Anko lost contact with him.

This makes the most sense

Accept Shiore was a guy and the author of the video didn’t know that

The talismans hanging from their strawhats says they’re evil so they could’ve associated with Orochimaru or the grass village have ninja just as evil as they do in the sound village

I am glad to see I am not the only one who prefer this outfit over his usual one. Like, sure, it kinda fit him, I guess... but the other clothes we saw him wears were cool.

@orianefaton1885 I also wish The sound 4 also kept the chunin exams Camo ascetic. Im just not a fan. Part 1 sound village is one of my favorite things in Naruto. When it was actual military and not 3 people at the most.

One of them was probably Kimimaro disguised, while the other could be one of the Sound 4 members.

In which case, if @@fhlo2000 is right, Kimimaro likely got sick at this moment and had to be taken out... as to who is the second most likely candidate... maybe either Kidomaro (I don't know if I spelled spider guy right) or one of the twins... Sakon or Ukon. (since they were the leader after Kimi got sick so he could make sense, you know)

@@orianefaton1885 Kimimaro got sick when Orochimaru murdered the 4th Kazekage, more than a month after the Forest of Death incident. Still, one of them could be him. On the other hand, I just remembered now that two similar looking "grass ninja" got killed by Gaara in the forest. If they were the same two, who infiltrated the forest with Orochimaru, I wonder why Orochimaru ordered them to attack Gaara. He should've known better that a jinchuriki is more than a match for two (maybe around chunin level) sound nin.

they probably got lost in the forest and never found their way out.

@@fhlo2000 could be, it's possible that Orochimaru had some of his trusted followers infiltrate the forest with him. However, their identities and whereabouts after that encounter are not explicitly shown in the series.

Kisame

​@@onajgodorochimaru will destroy him with edo so kisame can't win

It depends on which era are we talking about if we’re talking both of them at their peak that means orochimaru boruto era which solos

@@Jc_lightningmaster orochimaru has edo so he can bring people to fight for him and he can summon many of them even before boruto and boruto is not cannon

Only 3 people in the akatsuki can beat orochimaru. Obito, pain and itachi. Kisame and kakuzu would give him a high diff fight but would still lose to him. Sasori, deidara and konan would give him mid diff. Hidan and zetsu get rekt.

It wasn't

What's more they're not "Jedi Robes," they're just ascetic clothing. Things any person might wear, as they don't have possessions to speak of. So even saying that this "uniform" would give up any Jedi in hiding is wrong as well, any more than having the standard outfit for Jedi in the real world be a T-Shirt and Jeans.
