I just tried watching this episode [I'm on a reaction marathon :) ] and This message popped up: "Sorry. Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played here" and has a link to VIMEO underneath. Then I clicked it and it's asking for a password...what is it?

Vanessa Grijalva

what do you expect from an early 2000's anime that had the run time that spanned multiple years??

Nick

the animation is so bad...

I mean, there's only so many ways to make an action shonen series exam/tornament original.... but if we get technical Naruto came before Boku No Hero though.

sasuke was about to give up,but then he recollected his emotions and thought of his actual goals

symbolic amaterasu

if you're wandering why Sasuke is so scared and willing to give the scroll like that, it's because the person they're fighting is waaaay stronger than the other genin. Just looking at the wind jutsu she just opened with, it wrecked a huge part of the forest and that was just to announce her presence

eliphass

But I mean... no one in Naruto's generation know that Naruto has the fox in him. They only know that the parents don't like him. So he's an outcast. Other villages probably don't know much about Naruto. So if they do that's pretty shady.

The episode of derp faces

David C

The creepiness factor and the overwhelming fight in an exam, perhaps, but that's only a cosmetic thing. Character wise, Orochimaru is a fantastic antagonist in his own right with huge differences from everyone's favorite card-man.

Champion Bescos

Hisoka rip off.

micheal king

Exactly. Naruto's classmates shun him but most of them either do it for reasons unrelated to the adults or just because they see the adults do it and understand there's something "bad" about him. I'm not sure they even know about the existence of Ninetails, let alone its connection to Naruto.

Sachal Ali

It's not that they don't know about the nine tails, it's that it's considered taboo by the adults to talk about it so that Naruto could have a "normal" life. NONE of the kids know about it.. they just avoid/hate Naruto because they saw the adults doing it. This isn't a spoiler, just a reminder on what's been touched on at the start of the series.

Miasimon

Nah

Zee

I think you figured out by the episode's end but I'm pretty sure Sasuke telling Naruto to back off wasn't a pride thing or "I can handle this without you", it was because he was scared shitless. He legitimately thought he was going to die and was trying to make sure Naruto didn't die too.

Sachal Ali

Sasuke didn't do anything because he realised pretty quickly that he was out of his depth and it scared him. Sakura didn't do anything because she was waiting for Sasuke to do something since his more skilled than her (and she's kind of developed a crutch). Also it feels like hours but in the manga this whole interaction is literally seconds long

Kim Carragher

damn that was probably the worste episode so far production wise. Permanent still frames with off model drawings lol. Had one sick moment in it though when naruto stood before sasuke

Oh yeah, Naruto is actually his favorite Manga!

NMD

I remember getting so annoyed with sasuke first watching this episode because like, i really just wanted them to move the plot along. I was like stop holding us up. But in hindsight they definitely should’ve just handed him the scroll and went home lmao. And btw mha is actually inspired by naruto, the creator is a big fan.

Emily

Does anyone else think they should change their group name to the konoha five?

Otaku27

It's pretty funny to hear micky complain about Shikamaru's whining when these 2 sound exactly the same, always whining and whining.

Jo

You could've left out the last part of your comment dude.

Chris V

My Hero was very inspired by Naruto. Horikoshi (MHA creator) says his favorite Manga is Naruto.

Keep It Zen

LMAL They're bagging on Shikamaru so much I cant wait for the LATER episodes

Everton

I think it's been said 100 times already but the "mind attack" was literally just the enemy using their killing intent to to make them scared. Haku ain't shit compared to that so Sasuke knew the best way to survive was to give up. It's a totally different scale.

Heru Muharrar

Congratulations, you've cracked the shounen anime code

think you missed it from the first or 2nd ep the 3rd order no one to talk about it so naruto could be a normal kid

monkeyman

The grown ups in the village are the only ones who know about the nine tails spirit being in naruto. The kids actually aren't aware of this.

Katia Gaona

We don’t like logic in our action shows lol

Zee

they need to do only one episode per week like the other shows

PS

Same. It’s one of my favorites from the original series! :D

Sean Dean

yeah and that works

PS

they're watching for the lols

scottrager

Lol Sasuke knew that Orochimaru was way WAY stronger than them is like you are getting robbed by a Rambo type guy with a machine gun and then your friend a 12 year old kid arrives with a wooden stick and think they can win and gets mad because your giving away your wallet. Of course Sasuke would tell him to leave.

You talk a looot during the episode guys, that's a shame!

Lawliet

They usually spread out the episode releases on the day they're released, don't worry though, it'll be released today.

NMD

If it's not uploaded today, I'd hope they make up for it again sometime this week... Otherwise idk about redoing my subscription...doing stuff for free and not committing is fine... But charging for stuff.. and not doing it is no bueno

Nick

Where's episode 30?

Hyun

They always upload at least 2 episodes of Naruto every Wednesday.

NMD

should i keep my hopes up for today? or it's not gonna happen?

Man I cannot wait until they find out more about Shikamaru! One of favorites behind Neji and Itachi.

Patiently waiting for ep 30

barcafan101

Need the next episode nowwww

Kanza

Don't forget that while fighting Zabuza and Haku, they had Kakashi, a Jonin, their skilled Sensei, with them. Who not only is obviously really strong, but also provided moral support. Here, they are all alone. Usually they would have taken the exams one year later and have more training and Jutsu available. Now they face this person who can summon snakes, bend their body, stretch their tongue, deep throat a thick a** scroll and various other things. They are shown illusions of their death. They may be Ninja, but they are still kids. Excited for the next one.

Alphonse Holdenbach

Eh, I don't think there was a right decision and I don't think Sasuke had the right mentality anymore than Naruto did. He was literally paralyzed by fear, there wasn't a rational thought going on in his head. Just before Naruto arrived he was about to just let Orochimaru attack and probably kill him. Desperation driven by fear shouldn't be confused with a rational retreat.

JediMasterSamson

I look forward to them seeing the technicalities later of a specifically 5 prong seal being put there.

Hazy Skies

FIVE PRONGED SEAL!!

JediMasterSamson

naruto was only right in that orochimaru didn't care about the scroll. ultimately it doesn't matter because they aren't even skilled enough to escape. Sasuke's desperation to get away was the right mentality to have in this situation. naruto couldn't see that because he came in halfway not realizing the power they were dealing with

klah

THe next episode can't arrive sooner :)

Ji-pi Doyon

None of the children know that Naruto has the Nine Tailed Fox inside him. Even now. The 3rd Hokage forbade any of the adults to talk about it. This was explained in the 1st episode.

Mten10th

Yeah lol I think they forget they were getting fucked up during that fight

Zee

Lol I like how much they’re undercutting just how dangerous their opponent is. They barely did anything to Haku or Zabuza

Philip Kay

I just keep refreshing. That fight is so dope yet surprisingly short

Zee

Sasuke got his second tomoe if y'all didn't catch that its the lil , in his eyes when he uses sharingan

Cameron

Has the show made that clear at this point? Maybe they missed it

Zee

Only the adults in the village know the truth about Naruto and the nine tailed fox. The kids know about the story of it attacking the village and being defeated but they don't know that it was sealed inside Naruto.

KingKien1

when micky said about how people in the village know about naruto having the nine tailed fox inside him, only a select group of ninja like the teachers, elders and the hokage know about this because they were there around the time it happened, their children, the genin don't know about any of this and some of the adults fear and hatred of naruto's nine tails behaviours has been passed down to their children, that's why he was so neglected growing up as people in the village were told to avoid him as he has the potential to be dangerous

Praga

Same 😂

Zee

I hear Kenshin's voice.

MarkyO

Let’s not forget about the pacing either. This episode isn’t as bad as others but long pauses on character faces. Oof. Nahid was like “I need some coffee” I felt the same way I just kept yawning until Orochimaru was revealed.

Siegmeyer

Oh God i'm just refreshing here at work until I see that Episode 30 Link!!! Episode 30, the FIRST naruto episode to feature Sakuga level fight animation = D You guys are in for a fucking treat.

Edo

*hurriedly refreshing to see when ep30 drops*

Watching this over makes me realize just how sub par naruto's animation is. It's like Studio Perriot decides to do shitty animation for an entire series except for a few episodes (like the next one) in which they put all their work into with the implication that those phenomenally animated episodes are supposed to make up for all the shitty ones. They do it with Naruto. They do it with Bleach. Makes me wish Studio Bones got the series instead, or even MadHouse.

scottrager

I’m glad that you guys are seeing the mystery unravel. It’s like watching all over again lol

Zee

MY FAVORITE DAY! YES!

Zee

Yes!!!! Greatness has arrived

Wednesday is my favorite day! WOOO
