I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS - Naruto Shippuden Episode 125 & 126 Reaction
It’s really interesting that you draw back to the sasuke sound four. He was undergoing sage transformation, same training in a way lol.
L makes a good point, useful in real life too. THe more you try to convince others of a thing, the less likeley you are it. Trying to be cool, or trustworthy, or innocnect, etc, etc. If you are those things, you just are. Light trying to convince L after the hospital scene was a bad move by light, woulda had L convinced otherwise.
Exactly
Many agree that Naruto has two endings, one of which is episode 175
If there wasn't a Tobi I'd agree
This arc is peak anime!!! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it so much!!
Amber, Eve, Anissa and Aquarus’ fish wife want mark so bad… 💀
25:10 almost said the name of someone much later in the show 😅 was confused for a sec lol
😆
The end of the pain arc is what i consider to be the end of act 2 naruto, it ends with naruto being acknowledged by the village, and him being one of the strongest ninja of the leaf. Next up is act 3, i wonder what lies ahead...
WARRRR
I always loved that its Konahamarus teacher giving the monologue, from rags to riches being praised by one of his biggest haters in OG
2:57 is that Jiraya's and Itachi's themes mixed i lowkey never caught that theres elements of both of thier themes😮
🔥
Did bro name drop who I think he did?
?
We will see konan again, soon
She's scary
Nagato definitely turns your feelings right around on you doesn’t he he can’t change those feels of hate for killing jiraiya but he makes you feel for him for sure. What I really don’t like is how often the rest of the village constantly refers to naruto as the fox brat
I never picked up on that
@@jimmytiptoereactions oh yea they call him that fox brat wayyy to often for it not to be derogatory.
I was waiting for these episodes and your reaction to it! This has been a great journey so far and it's one of the greatest arcs in naruto! I can't say that enough but even though I already watched the whole series I still couldn't hold back my tears! Especially after Kakashi my favourite character got revived again I was so relieved! And naruto getting celebrated as a hero was just the cherry on top! This series will always have a place in my heart because it's sooo good, it's full of emotions, great written characters and story, also a huge complex world. Masashi Kishimoto is just a genius for creating such awesome universe!
They finally acknowledge him!
Best arc of Naruto! So glad you’ve enjoyed it
It's so good!
I’m glad Kakashi was at least dead long enough to say the only thing his father wanted to hear.
That father kid stuff gets me everytime!
It took a few hundred episodes, but Naruto has finally been acknowledged by the village
It's about time!
At this point Naruto could be hokage!
He really could
Yahkio is my favorite character in Naruto his death was so sad 😢
He was pretty cool
This part never made sense to me if madara gave him the rinegon. Why does it show him awakening it? It doesn't make sense cause when the eyes are implanted. Need time to recover
That's a good question. There definitely isn't any consistency amongst the visual eyes. Uchiha have to unlock it, but once it is unlocked it can be passed over. Like obito to kakashi. yet here Madara passed the Rinnegan yet it still had to he unlocked by Nagato.
@jimmytiptoereactions And when Itachi implanted his eyes in saske. Saske needed time to recover. Or was that because of the fight they had?
@pacomiguel6923 oh I think it was recovery for sure. Also when he implanted his abilities, it was meant to activate when he saw tobis sharingan
@@jimmytiptoereactions yea and kill him with his amaterasu
comment to comment a comment
Ah. The part where Kira’s obsessive stalker with bonus issues shows up.
You didn’t react when Temari wiped the whole forest
So?
@jimmytiptoereactions well, wasn't that impressive?
Yes, she has been pretty under utilized so far.
Why do you always watch when you’re at the peak of your tiredness ahahahahah 🤣
It's called a job and family 👍
@ completely understand 🙏🏿
I'm liking the Ryuk shirt
Thanks! I can't wear it all the time cause it'll scare my kiddos
go sleep dude, you look tired
I'm always tired. Full time job wife and 2 kids will do that!
@jimmytiptoereactions best 👑
Nagato's dad charging at those leaf ninja wasn't smart, but you can't really blame him. He couldn't be sure if they will spare them or not. On the other hand, those guys were shinobi. They should've been able to knock him down with one hit without killing him. So yeah, it's totally their fault.
I blame both. Yeah the shinobi could of done that, but in the dark during the war you can't let your guard down in that setting. If it was on their turf then yeah for sure. But this was basically ground zero for the war.
Clarification: althou Nagato didn resent leaf shinobi when he was kid, but Adult Nagato says, his parent died bc of the WAR that leaf STARTED. He didn't blame those Leaf shinobi.
This is a great backstory and low key one of the most important in the series my only complaint is that they try to frame those hidden leaf ninja as accidental assholes just cause the audience is obviously on Naruto's side since he's the MC. I think they should've let them just be bad people from the leaf to drive home the point that theres good and bad Shinobi in all nations and that the hidden leaf aren't always the good guys
I think it was fine. Its war and they were terrified
Hanzo im almost POSITIVE was manipulated. If you know you know.
100%
@@jimmytiptoereactions IDK how far you ACTUALLY are at, so ima say nothing, but you will understand what i mean.
@idolized Obito/Tobi reveal in 4th great ninja war.
@@jimmytiptoereactions oh ok yeah I personally think danzo used shisui eye to manipulate hanzo
@idolized maybe, I can't think of the timeline right now
Anything shady and shitty got Danzos name on it😂 😂
no lie detected
Imagine how better people's lives would be if he never existed
@daryl3276 guess we will never know
Nagato is no longer Nagato, he is John Wick 21:30 😎
Show would be over if that was the case!
“Pain” is a very good description. Though it also feels a little too light for all this.
probably one of the few most important backstories in this series!
Whooo! Been waiting!
167 is my favorite episode in the entire series "the sage of the six paths is said to have created the moon...compared to that this is nothing" is ice cold 🥶
Naruto still repping the og transformation with his shadow clones🎉 also love the growth of his battle iq. Man may be dense but man will come up with his own unique solution to everything
this backstory is gonna be an interesting one for sure, can't wait to see the reaction of it!
❤❤
Surprised you didn't comment on Naruto's eyes at the end there
what did i miss about the eyes
@jimmytiptoeonyt He was in Sage Mode, but the eyes were red with the slits as well
Oh dang I guess I missed it
Man Pain backstory makes me cry all the time ,it brings me bad memories as a kid who grew from poverty going for days without food and proper clothes and when you beg rich neighbour for some food to share they just lie and say we have nothing as well too just to chase you away.
Things on a "Global" scale are worse now than when you were a child. What happens if who you viewed as "Rich" was just another layer of "Poor and Struggling"? Try explaining why people are paying 10 times the amount of Rent compared to 30 years ago.
@blackzero786 I know some of them very well because we were closely blood related we often visited them sometimes ,and they will brag in front of our faces that they just arrived yesterday from Dubai vacation and they plan to go to another very soon while when we ask for some help from them they make useless excuses all the time.
We’re about to get a backstory that even Jimmy wants to see? Truly intriguing.
He's an interesting dude, what can I say? haha
Just saying thanks to Pain Hinata achieved her fastest speed feat ever😂
the potato chip is such a legendary epic and funny scene I love it!
Pure GOLD
Here is a small part of a character analysis on Hinata that I'm working on, as a tribute to her sacrifice here. Hope you guys give it a read, no spoilers here yet as it only covers her character in part 1 Naruto. Hinata was born to the world shouldering the responsibility of her family, to lead the Prestigious, traditional and old Hyuga clan with a strong unwavering fist. But her personality was that of a soft spoken girl who was kind, gentle and empathetic, her name literally translates to "Pure white lily facing the sun" to signify her purity as a character and a person. Although Hinata undergoes rigorous and painful training with her father, Hiashi doesn't see her as fit to rule over their clan because of her kind nature. Therefore, Hiashi, as the strict leader of the Hyuga clan pits her against her younger sister Hanabi in an attempt to motivate Hinata. In this match Hinata lost to her sister since she was unable to land the final blow out of kindness for her sister, Hiashi who saw this as hesitancy and weakness for the sake of their clan disowns her and essentially kicks her out of his family, which deals a critical blow to her self esteem. To Hinata her value was in her purpose that was bestowed upon her by her father, to be the heir of the Hyuga clan. His judgement and views of her alongside with the path he layed on her to follow overruled her childhood. In disowning her, Hiashi essentially stripped Hinata of her self worth, which lead Hinata in a dark path. Hinata being born with high expectations and being unable to fullfill them to her family left her with a psychological scar in her early years as she felt inadequate, weak and an unloved failure who cursed the way she was. She berrates herself for her past failures and constantly undermines herself. Which in turn made her unable to believe, trust nor love herself and it lead her on a downward spiral of self hate and guilt. She betrayed herself and lost all will to fight and change. She developed an inferiority complex and her repeated failures in missions and in training because of her inability to trust in herself, only made things worse for her. Although she trained very hard every day, it means nothing if she couldn't believe in herself. Because of her past failures she has also developed a fear in failing and so she thought that it is better to stay a failure than to try and fail, and so she gives up on everything, failing herself. These feelings would eventually lead to the Hinata we see in early part of Naruto, a depressed mess with social anxiety which is seen through her general mannerisms(her shyness & being easily flustured, avoiding social confrontations by avoiding talking and looking down while talking to another, nervousness, stutter and shaky voice etc..). She is passive, indecisive, hesitant and always prefers to be in the background of situations that she is put in, she is always overruled by her peers and her opinions aren't cared even by them as she lacks agency. Even her character design of wearing cozy long sleeved sweaters as if to hide from everyone, and not showing her skin in the slightest compared to other kunoichi because she doesn't see the value in such things and certainly wants no spotlight as she hates being judged by people, like how her father and her clan by extension did with her in the past. Around this time she sees Naruto, another loner in the world who struggles with similar feelings of worth, depression, acceptance and failure but a degree worse that what she has to deal with, and yet he faces the world with a smile and a firm belief in himself. He is judged by people around him and despised by them for his circumstances similar to how she was judged and hated for hers by her family, but he is dealing with even worse prejudice. She relates to his struggles of acceptance and mostly his confidence/his ability to believe in himself, the trait that she wishes for. As a similar failure, she knows how easy it is to give up and lose your worth after constant failure and how discouraging it is. Although her worth was stripped away by her father and her clan in disowning her, Naruto didn't have a sense of self worth to begin with, since no one beleived in him in the first place, but he never gave up on himself and stopped trying like she did, to be acknowledged by people and therefore gaining a sense of self worth. Seeing how he fails repetedly but never gives up, she recognizes Naruto's strength and is motivated herself to try harder and in turn beleive and accept herself, that she too could maybe change if she never gave up on herself. Naruto essentially is restoring her sense of self worth that was stripped away by her father when she abandoned her. And therefore Hinata finds purpose in Naruto in seeing that Naruto is still trying to change himself. Hinata thought that she only had a single path to follow that was given to her by her family, but watching Naruto teaches her that she herself has to find the purpose/path for herself and that it is possible to restore ones self worth by following another path. Watching Naruto and his quality to never give up basically fills her with hope, belief, self worth and purpose making her able to accept/love herself again. She sees Naruto as a person who although fails, have the ability to stand back up and keep on fighting for his goals, unlike herself from the past who just accepted their fate and stayed sulking with the hand they were dealt with. Seeing this redefines her ideology on strength and makes her wish for that strength for herself too. As she says herself when Naruto doubts himself when he was going to fight Neji, True strength is to never give up and keep on trying even at worst odds, that is also why she calls Naruto a proud failure. A failure who never gives up on trying to change themselves for the better, until they eventually succeed. Her belief in Naruto is based on this aspect of him, this is further emphasized by the symbolical irony of their Doujutsu, the Byakugan. The Byakugan makes them look blind eventhough it grants them the ability to see through everything, but in seeing everything they are blind to their own strengths and weaknesses, which is symbolized by the blind spot. Hinata, before anyone, saw Naruto's strengths despite everyone else calling him a failure, but she was blind to her own strengths until Naruto made Hinata realize hers. With Naruto's inspiration and of her own volition, to challenge herself and possibly change her cowardly and hesitant self, she enters the chunin exams. Although she passes the written test of the exams and displays courage, mental fortitude and strength in certain moments(such as in passing the written test, of which the aim was to measure courage and helping Naruto at her own risk) she is immediatley challenged by the living embodiment of all her flaws, Neji. A complete contrast of her, an intimidating prodigy with a superiority complex to her anxiety ridden inferiority complex. And Neji is antagonistic towards her to the bitter end, although she, tries to establish a close familial relationship with him adressing him as her own brother, he insists to call her Lady and distance her. Eventhough both of them have suffered because of the Hyuga, While Hinata is offering Neji her kindness and a chance to reconcile his anger, Neji rejects it as his hatred for the Main branch blinds him from seeing Hinata's suffering. Their relationship is in contrast the main family which enslaves the branch family. Neji have misdirected anger for Hinata which he tries to justify in different ways, because he believes that he can't do anything about his situation, the only thing he can do is deflect it with aggression towards someone who used to symbolize the main family, even though she too was betrayed by them. In this sense Hinata is the same as Naruto, someone who gets unjustified anger towards them for the circusmtances they were born with, but both of them tried to change their situations by chosing different paths from what fate had in store for them, compared to Neji. Neji feels like he is treated in an unjust way by the Hyuga and since he can't do anything about it, he calls his situation fate and hides in it, wallowing in self pity and hate, stagnating himself in it. Neji also represent the core aspect of her past self, which is giving up, so this can also be interpret as Hinata challenging her past self in order to cast it away. Neji beleives that if he couldn't change his standing in the clan with all his skill and effort, she couldn't change as well. And with this he have already given up on trying to change. He believes that everyone should follow the path they are supposed to and live within the confinements of their fate and that going against it has reprecussions as his father suffered. So it angers him to see people try to defy fate and when they are unable to as he too wasn't able to, he rationalizes being unable to change by putting it on fate. He beleives that Hinata can't change, judging by how the past Hinata acted he beleives that Hinata would forfiet the match, he wants her to forfiet because if she chose to fight, it means she have changed herself and that would mean he lost ideologically to her. So he would do whatever he could to make her forfiet. Rest is in the comments...
In this fight, fuelled by his preconceptions of the past Hinata, he doubts her resolve and questions her mental fortitude and he uses Hinata's body language as a weapon to poke at her past mistakes, Neji berates her character and dismantles her psyche in an attempt to expose her failures and prove himself right, that she cannot change herself. He pressures her psychologically to confront her past failures and doubts that she thought of herself. This only confirms to herself that she is a failure and it eats away at whatever resolve/courage she built coming to the exams. These harsh remarks of her past terrorises her psyche and in resurfacing her insecurities, she reverts her back to her past self and she begins to display signs of anxiety. Using the her involuntary gestures that she displays as a result of her coping mechanism to rising panic, she displays a meek demeanour. Neji compares Hinata's past self with her current and says that she haven't changed and will not, that she is unfit to become a Ninja with her non-confrontational and kind self that lacks in agency, in order to confirm his own ideology that people cannot change. Neji continues to judge Hinata, that since Hinata haven't changed from the past, she will not in this fight either and tries to convince her to forfiet by telling her that since she lost in the past she will fail here too, calling it her fate. He calls Hinata a failure and labels her as such just like how her father did, and says that she wouldn't be able to change as going against fate is impossible in his eyes. As her fathers views of her and her own doubts of her being reinforced by Neji, judging her just like her father did in the past, crumbles her own image of trying to change and it makes her panic thinking that she might really be a failure. Hinata's crisis resonates with Naruto, as he too is labelled a failure and is reduced to a monster by the village. He is trying to rid himself of those labels in order to get acknowledged by everyone. Therefore Naruto despises Nejis ideology of labelling people and sees himself in Hinata, so it agitates him to see Hinata not talking back to Neji. And so he screams at Hinata to stand up for herself and beat Neji as he would if he was in her place. In the past whenever Hinata felt down, she would find the strength to keep trying in Naruto and his Nindo. In believing Naruto, she was able to restore her belief in herself, as she sees Naruto as the living embodiment of proof of strength to continue. This situation has the same effect on her, Naruto reminds her of her belief in him and therefore herself, restoring the confidence she lost and she is grateful to him for it. For the first time in her life, Hinata decides to take the initiative, a stark contrast with her past cowardly self which used to avoid confrontation in the slightest. Neji, noticing Hinata's change in mental attitude and stance, now displaying confidence, is annoyed that his efforts thus far have been futile and fights her. Hinata's resolve this time around is evident in her being the first to strike Neji in contrast to her past fight with Hanabi. Although Hinata fights with her best, she couldn't win against the genius, so she loses repeatedly and even when her heart and body gives up she continues to push herself, repeating her Nindo/ideals that she and Naruto share, in order to change while proving Nejis preconceptions of her and her fate wrong many times over. Naruto finds this quality similar to himself, relates to her and acknowledges her for her strength and ideals, just like how she acknowledged him. And so he roots for her. Neji who is still unable to grasp the reason for Hinata's tenaciousness as he doesn't think people can go against their fate questions her motives in trying to keep the fight going, even when she knows that she already lost. He doesn't understand that Hinata already won against him by proving him wrong and changing herself as a person. He still believes that Hinata is just acting tough and tries his failed mental tactics at her again, judging her for her past and trying to convince her to be obedient to the path her fate have layed over her to follow as it would give her freedom from her own suffering. Neji doesn't realize the contradiction in this statement as he is the one who is suffering by stagnating in his past while Hinata who have managed to change, is free from her past weakness which had kept her stagnating. Hinata calls him out on it, which angers Neji as Hinata now pokes at his ideology, showing it's hypocrisies. The fight ends with Neji trying to lash out his anger on Hinata, losing composure, providing us with a stark conrast of their mindsets with the start of the fight. In the aftermath where Hinata is about to die, even then her thoughts are whether if she was able to change and so when Naruto came to her to see if she is okay after the fight, what she asks herself mentally is if she was able to change as a person, she also seeks validation from Naruto who inspired her to change and is also trying to change like herself. Naruto who feels the need to avenge Hinata and defend their shared ideals, makes a blood oath using Hinata's spilt blood to win against Neji and prove him wrong as he labelled both Hinata and himself failures. Naruto using Hinata's blood to make the oath is a representation of Naruto carrying out Hinata's ideals and resolve on behalf of her, as her blood symbolises the pain and suffering she had to endure in order to protect their ideals. Naruto recognises Neji as a strong opponent but believes that he can beat Neji. He is fearless and is very confident in himself and training with Jiraiya in summoning and controlling his Nine tails chakra only boosts his confidence even more. But this lasts only till he meets Gaara at the hospital, to whom he is initially faces fearlessly, even knowing his prowess when he fought Lee, but as he learns more about Gaara's character and his past, loses belief in himself. Naruto see his past self in Gaara, how they were feared for their power, labeled as monsters and were ostracised by the villagers and in being denied of their existences they sought to find their reasons to exist/purpose in life. Naruto found his purpose for living in being acknowledged as Iruka was there to accept Naruto's existence, and in being acknowledged he feels deep gratitude towards Iruka and those who made him feel that it is okay to live. But Gaara found his purpose in killing people who wished to kill him thus confirming to himself his existence as everyone else continued denying his existence, living in constant fear of death made him feel that way as his definition of love was love for himself and that other people exists to provide him reason to live, to give him a purpose and therefore in a twisted way, to provide him love. As long as people lived to kill him, he would have a reason to exist. The thought that Naruto could have ended up like Gaara terrifies Naruto. Naruto thinks that Gaara is the product of not having someone acknowledge him, an alternate self of Naruto which he thinks must be stronger than him since Naruto needed Iruka to be saved, while Gaara is surviving on his own all alone, trusting in only himself and living for only himself, loving only himself, without yearning acknowledgement from others in what Naruto believes to be in the worst pain of solitude. Naruto loses his belief in himself and his own strength after this confrontation as he concludes he wouldn't be able to win against someone like Gaara. Naruto, who feels weak after meeting Gaara feels pressured to fight Neji although he was confident in fighting Neji prior to this incident. Since Neji can tear down a person mentally by looking into their insecurities, Naruto knows that if he were to fight Neji as he is right now, he would lose. He feels inadequate, intimidated and he doubts himself as he have completely lost belief in himself. Even trying to cheer up himself as he have done in the past in face of fear doesn't work as he is reminded to how strong his opponents are compared to him. And therefore he visits the training grounds where he first felt accepted, to regain some of the lost confidence by reminiscing his past, seeking acknowledgement and to draw strength that he believes he lacks, from it. Here he meets Hinata who have dealt with the exact same dilemma Naruto is facing and offers her views on belief/strength. Sources for the first paragraphs of my analysis are the special episodes that were released alongside The LAST Naruto movie as an 1 hour special, the shippuden episodes 389 and 390 which elaborates on the Hyuga conflict a bit more than the manga. The rest is straight from the manga. That's all for now, her themes here connects heavy with this confession scene of her character you are reacting to, but I haven't done the analysis that far as of yet.
And ppl have the audacity to say Tsunade did nothing against pain 😑
The fear of yamato and the hopelessness of naruto is what makes this episode soooo good
