Orochimaru asked Kabuto about his blood type because there is a supersticion in Japanese culture that the blood type affects your personality and I think that the A blood is supposed to be very tidy and diligent. I watched it in original with subtitles and the subtitles often mentioned these interesting things. Like some of their jutsus are named afer Japenese Gods and stuff.
Naruto wasn't tricked into wearing the necklace, it's just pure coincidence that it helps control him. A really convenient coincidence, but a coincidence nonetheless lol.
im loosing my mother and aome other people in life right now. but i always have a smile on my face watching you naruto and how you grow to love it like we do. please please please keep watching. the way you like it right now… rest of shippuuden is gonna blow your mind. i cant tell too much but there are so many set ups like the necklace. please!
I've been wanting to show my gf an anime and wanted to start with Naruto. She's 35 and has never watched anything, and I grew up loving anime. I love watching you see all this for the first time while experiencing the cliff notes again before showing her. I enjoy your stuff man, please keep it up through the whole Shippuden series. So fun to watch you experience it.
31:56 Actually there was a small glimpse of this in the Sasuke vs Naruto fight. At the end, before they do the Chidori Rasengan clash, Naruto notices that suddenly he lost feeling on his left arm, and then after seeing this, Sasuke comments: “It seems your power carries some risks too” thus alluding to the fact that the Nine Tails cloak is hurting Naruto passively
Something to take note of: Last time we saw a "Rashomon Gate" was during the fight between Kiba and one of the 4 underlings of Orochimaru. A single gate was strong enough to stop Kiba's strongest move, and even then they said it was impressive enough that he managed to bend it a little, as that was one of the literal gates to hell. Now, Orochimaru summoned all three of them, the triple Rashomon, and Naruto's Jinchuriki Bomb (official name in the games BTW) basically obliterated them to dust. It's meant as a showcase of how powerful he really is with just 4 taild
Gotta start by saying i absoutely love this channel. Gotta be my favorite anime reactors out here! I know you've never reacted to music before, but there's one metal song i would love to see you react to. It's called Pices, by a band called Jinjer. (Definately watch the live sessions version) The lead singer has such a talented voice, not to mention the rest of the band. I think you would get a good kick out of the unique artistic direction the band uses in this song. I also recommend watching it blind, don't look up anything about them before you see the video. Again love all your content, regardless of what it is we're all watching together!
concerning the blood types: i think when i read the manga there was an annotation by the translators explaining it. it is basically their form of zodiac: A is perfectionist. B is laid back/chaotic AB is hard to read or something .. basically he is calling him "you are always so super clean with your tools" and he is saying " you dont know the half of me" he might be more sketchy than even orochimaru believes.
Tsunade does have Hashiramas cells witch is why shes so advanced in medical ninjutsu and has the Mitotic Regeneration: 100 healings jutsu Hashirama was the only one from his clan who could use wood release even his brothers coundn't. wood is considered to be the rarest chakra form the only person who have used it so far are Hashirama and Yamata. Wood style for some reason counters the tailed beast wich is why its so strong and rare.
It's the funny thing about these bloodline abilities/kekei genkai. Just because you have the genes doesn't mean you have the abilities. Many members of the Uchiha clan never awoke the sharingan. Being Senju probably just gave a small endurance buff, but Hashirama had to work for the fast regeneration and wood style.
Hey man!love the channel ! Subbed in the land of waves arc. As an OG fan that watched shippuden weekly, there weren’t too many crazy cliffhanger moments because we often got 2 episode specials. Not all the time but like maybe once every other month. So if there’s ever a time where the cliffhanger is unbelievably crazy it was probably a 2 episode week 🙏🏾
If you pay attention to the details when Goku uses Kaioken x4 the threat to him as well as the red aura is the risk of burning his skin, the same as when Naruto is heated by the red Fox's chakra and his skin is burned with the FOURTH tail. Identical display - Kaioken x4 and the Fourth Tail - the similarity in Kishimoto's inspiration is obvious 😅 The difference between both characters is that Naruto no longer remembers himself in that mode !
Except Naruto's literally starts ripping him apart, it's far more brutal, the red aura is his blood being boiled. The early Eight Gates are closer to Kaioken and directly inspired by it. The heat aspect is also there, but it's not as monstrous in the early Gates.
Yamato is a beast but it’s funny he thinks he can “step in” on this battle. 😂 “let me just get between the extremely pissed off Fox Demon and the Immortal Snake God.” Okay buddy. You do that.
2:13 Honestly, that's just a classic anime trope. They say that people's eyes are like windows into their soul, and that looking into someone's eyes helps you see into their character. However, when you're not able to see a character's eyes, it is a subtle, subconscious tell that you can't trust a character. This could be done with things like shadows and smoke, but using a character's glasses is an easy and popular choice. My favorite version of this trope is, in a certain series, the main protagonist when he is being devilishly manipulative has only one of his glass's lenses hiding his eye, in order to get a half-and-half version of this meaning. It basically shows that we as an audience and (most of the time) his friends can trust him, but that he will not show any mercy to those not in his inner circle and until you earn his trust you should not trust him. 47:56 As for this scene, this is a reference towards Japanese horoscopes, where they believe that the blood type a person has determines their personality, or at the very least influences it in certain directions. That's why some anime characters have their blood type listed as a basic "short hand" description of that character's personality. I don't know myself what the blood type personalities are and I don't care to look them up. But I imagine, in this case, it is in reference to Kabuto's compulsive desires/impulse to keep his tools clean and his supply of corpses completely stocked up, whether it be from perfectionism, completism, or any other sort of reason, but it is the fact that this behavior of his could be fueled by 1 of many different reasons but likely it is not the most obvious one that comes to mind.
Naruto being underwater in his own mental landscape is symbolic, not literal. He is essentially drowning in his feelings of frustration and despair at not being able to save Sasuke - unable to breathe. The Nine Tails being caged up is because of the 4th Hokage's sealing jutsu... you know the one on Naruto's stomach. All jinchuriki have some kind of seal that keeps the beast sealed within them, that's the only way a jinchuriki can exist. And yes, Naruto floating past the cage is symbolic of Naruto giving himself over to his rage, frustration, and hatred, and embracing the evil power of the nine tails willingly. The 4th Hokage's seal is not able to (or made to) hold back all of the nine tails power, so if Naruto gives in to hatred then he will lose conbtrol and be consumed by that power. Kind of like the seal Kakashi put on Sasuke's curse mark, where it partially relies on the user's mental fortitude to resist what is being sealed. Then you might ask "Why did Naruto not lose control as a kid, then, or ever transform until he became a shinobi? Why does it seem so much worse in shippuden than it was in OG?". That will be answered later on, don't worry about that. Just know that his hatred or other negative emotions are what triggers the transformation.
26:37 A random aside: This is my exact theory around being “beamed” anywhere in Star Trek. It always looked like being torn apart and reassembled… which does not seem like something one survives. So I always wondered if the moment they say “energize, they die-and the newly assembled person - whose memories, feelings, and thoughts don’t feel interrupted or foreign - doesn’t realize that these are simply inherited from perfectly replicating the neural pathways and chemical/electrical signals of a person just before they were unknowingly killed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also the reason they were discussing blood types is because there is a superstition in Japan that the blood type you have affects ur personality. For example, Oro assumed that Kabuto had blood type A because such individuals (according to the superstition) are considered to be organized meticulous and cautious :D
@SoloRaiju, you mentioned Goku would never transform to super sayian if he had to go through what Naruto goes through with the pain/skin peeling stuff, but its more like Kaioken and Goku willingly goes through a shhhton of pain before getting stronger and better with Transformations. Just wanted to build on your thoughts. :) Have a great day brother and please keep up the awesome commentary and thoughts. Watching you watch makes me remember the moments and chills i get with your reactions.
It's a shounen. They need to slowly explain even obvious stuff for the 9-year-old kids watching. That's why you get that long scene of them slowly figuring out what Sai's book is about.
Honestly, the entire Snake Sword thing is a localization nightmare. The sword is based on part of the Japanese Imperial Regalia, the Grass-Cutting Sword, or Kusanagi no Tsurugi. You can see how 'Grass Cutting Sword' would make even less sense than 'Snake Sword' in the context, and 'Snake Sword' at least has a tangential connection to it due to Japanese mythology (where it was used by a god to cut down a many-headed snake). I'd personally have used 'Kusanagi Sword', because it makes it sound a bit more unique.
if Solo was stunned ab how they didn't figure out sai was in the book, i hope he doesn't get to watch bleach where everything anyone says no matter how obvious it is, the answers are always "Huh?" or "What do you mean?" :))
The necklace can be a random gift as well as a token that came in handy later on, I don’t think it was premeditated. Also, not all jinchuriki have the same life experience. Not all of them are hated or used as a weapon by their village, Naruto transformed later in his life than other Jinchurikis and imo that’s what makes him different than other Jinchurikis.
I can actually answer the blood type question! the Japanese (i don't know if its a large demographic) believe that blood type is kind of like how horoscopes work, and your personality is determined by it. thats why anime wiki's will list character bloodtype.
22:45 - simple, because if Naruto becomes the Nine Tails, he'll be significantly easier to overtake, and no longer able to be protected by the Leaf. it would be a Weapon without an Owner, a Beast to be tamed and brought to heel. of course in the process Naruto would be gone, a dead husk like Gaara was after the Tailed Beast was ripped from his body.
Orochimaru asking about Kabuto's blood type because it's like the Japanese horoscope. We use Virgo or Aries or Gemini as our personality types, while the Japanese use blood types.
Idc if this ever reaches your eyes/ears, you are the best man, the quality and effort you put out is just absurdly amazing. Ty so much for the videos
For real, the talking points, the edits, the uploads, he's one of the goats
This is an adequate enough comment for my eyes to see :)
So you have finally met the main character of the story: hasihirama's cells
🤣🤣 nah that’s true
31:29
« bro it’s too much pain »
Not now bro, not now…
fun fact: hasirama cells has more screentime than tenten
Orochimaru asked Kabuto about his blood type because there is a supersticion in Japanese culture that the blood type affects your personality and I think that the A blood is supposed to be very tidy and diligent. I watched it in original with subtitles and the subtitles often mentioned these interesting things. Like some of their jutsus are named afer Japenese Gods and stuff.
Basically Japanese flavoured horoscopes
yes that's true,this is the most misunderstood scene in naruto,a lot of people think it's just meaningless conversation
Naruto wasn't tricked into wearing the necklace, it's just pure coincidence that it helps control him. A really convenient coincidence, but a coincidence nonetheless lol.
Sakura is basically in charge of keeping a nuclear weapon alive and she was told of nothing
YOU ARE MY FRIEND.
im loosing my mother and aome other people in life right now. but i always have a smile on my face watching you naruto and how you grow to love it like we do. please please please keep watching. the way you like it right now… rest of shippuuden is gonna blow your mind. i cant tell too much but there are so many set ups like the necklace. please!
I've been wanting to show my gf an anime and wanted to start with Naruto. She's 35 and has never watched anything, and I grew up loving anime. I love watching you see all this for the first time while experiencing the cliff notes again before showing her. I enjoy your stuff man, please keep it up through the whole Shippuden series. So fun to watch you experience it.
Swords that came out of snakes that came out of orochimaru that came out of another orochimaru
31:56 Actually there was a small glimpse of this in the Sasuke vs Naruto fight. At the end, before they do the Chidori Rasengan clash, Naruto notices that suddenly he lost feeling on his left arm, and then after seeing this, Sasuke comments: “It seems your power carries some risks too” thus alluding to the fact that the Nine Tails cloak is hurting Naruto passively
wait what? I don't remember that ever happening - but that is good foreshadowing if so
The pacing in this arc of the anime looks so painful. I’m so glad it gets better next arc. I don’t know how I watched this so slow paced first time 😭
I feel the exact same way about the original dbz. I used to hate on Kai but the pacing in Kai is so much better.
Something to take note of: Last time we saw a "Rashomon Gate" was during the fight between Kiba and one of the 4 underlings of Orochimaru. A single gate was strong enough to stop Kiba's strongest move, and even then they said it was impressive enough that he managed to bend it a little, as that was one of the literal gates to hell.
Now, Orochimaru summoned all three of them, the triple Rashomon, and Naruto's Jinchuriki Bomb (official name in the games BTW) basically obliterated them to dust. It's meant as a showcase of how powerful he really is with just 4 taild
29:31 Yeah Maile Flanagan really popped off with this one.
She really does Naruto justice, and is an incredible voice actor. ❤
Gotta start by saying i absoutely love this channel. Gotta be my favorite anime reactors out here! I know you've never reacted to music before, but there's one metal song i would love to see you react to. It's called Pices, by a band called Jinjer. (Definately watch the live sessions version) The lead singer has such a talented voice, not to mention the rest of the band. I think you would get a good kick out of the unique artistic direction the band uses in this song. I also recommend watching it blind, don't look up anything about them before you see the video. Again love all your content, regardless of what it is we're all watching together!
THIS CONSISTENCY IS AMAZING BRO. im in the middle of the last vid from being caught up since u finished og naruto and then u drop this lfgggg
The water represents "Rage" Naruto is literally Drowning in Rage
So what you're saying is that i need to finish my work over 1h earlier? Deal!
That’s immediately what I was thinking 😂 he should’ve posted this around 5 or 6pm because now all I wanna do is watch this instead of work
Nothing makes my day like seeing a new upload from you! Fun reactions as always
Sakura dodged god damn poisoned sand grains but couldn't dodge a human body
They hinted at it in the first arc. Before Kakashi suppressed it, all of the clones were like "ahh it burns!" while grabbing their face.
Lmao the dad son jokes were the best part of this one, the next one will be crazy with sasuke showing up again!
I love how this man is completely stuck on how much orochimaru and sai look alike
Aww hell yeah its time again :D
Always love your reactions
good thing my popcorn is ready
i honestly think alot of plot points like the necklace and tailed beasts that were in naruto were reimagined for shippuden
yeah they retconned the shit out of that show. Kichimoto didn't think of any of the later stuff when he wrote the earlier stories.
raiju 5:28 saying what we were all thinking lol
concerning the blood types: i think when i read the manga there was an annotation by the translators explaining it. it is basically their form of zodiac: A is perfectionist. B is laid back/chaotic AB is hard to read or something .. basically he is calling him "you are always so super clean with your tools" and he is saying " you dont know the half of me" he might be more sketchy than even orochimaru believes.
Keep this going mate, so much enjoying rewatching all of this again. Hope you wont stop before the end.
"He went home to his parents." killed me. great video. love the edits in the series. Keep it up dood
Keep it up my dude. I'm watching with you. I look forward to seeing your videos.
Tsunade does have Hashiramas cells witch is why shes so advanced in medical ninjutsu and has the Mitotic Regeneration: 100 healings jutsu
Hashirama was the only one from his clan who could use wood release even his brothers coundn't. wood is considered to be the rarest chakra form the only person who have used it so far are Hashirama and Yamata. Wood style for some reason counters the tailed beast wich is why its so strong and rare.

Really enjoy these hope u do the whole series

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS ive been waiting thank you!
Yamato is a beast but it’s funny he thinks he can “step in” on this battle. 😂 “let me just get between the extremely pissed off Fox Demon and the Immortal Snake God.” Okay buddy. You do that.
YES LETS GOOOOOOOOOO MORE SOLORAIJU NARUTO REACTIONSSSS 🔥
thank you for making these vids me and my nephew watch them together
First reaction content I've watched, other than the occasional short here or there. Love this kid.
This was premiered earlier right?
I couldn’t watch it then because I was at work, but I can fully enjoy the reaction now💪🏾😁

One of the top 5 reaction youtubers
#1 in my opinion
29:20
Nah he's fine. There's no pain.
Lmao not yet....
Second comment: "Neji, get counting" DESTROYED me lmfao!!!
Loving this series so entertaining,
Bro i dont care what villains are yet to come in Naruto and their stories. Orochimaru will always be the goat for me
"[Orochimaru] better die such a cruel fucking death"
man....
Your narrative observations are sharp. There's just some things that flew past my head.
13:01 This is why I sticked to watching your reactions videos for so long
Naruto being underwater in his own mental landscape is symbolic, not literal. He is essentially drowning in his feelings of frustration and despair at not being able to save Sasuke - unable to breathe.
The Nine Tails being caged up is because of the 4th Hokage's sealing jutsu... you know the one on Naruto's stomach. All jinchuriki have some kind of seal that keeps the beast sealed within them, that's the only way a jinchuriki can exist.

That will be answered later on, don't worry about that. Just know that his hatred or other negative emotions are what triggers the transformation.
Tsunade really did finesse kid naruto into wearing that necklace 😅
31:27 😂you have no idea yet!! You will know Pain!
Bro I love the videos I want more of them
Naruto is a figure it out as you go type of story. After a couple of arcs things started to change meaning
the "cooler" flash had me fucked up
Worth it then
26:37 A random aside: This is my exact theory around being “beamed” anywhere in Star Trek. It always looked like being torn apart and reassembled… which does not seem like something one survives.
So I always wondered if the moment they say “energize, they die-and the newly assembled person - whose memories, feelings, and thoughts don’t feel interrupted or foreign - doesn’t realize that these are simply inherited from perfectly replicating the neural pathways and chemical/electrical signals of a person just before they were unknowingly killed.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol that's not a theory that's how physicists describe teleportation
Edit: actually it is a theory... By theoretical physicists... Duh
I been waiting all week for this
Also the reason they were discussing blood types is because there is a superstition in Japan that the blood type you have affects ur personality. For example, Oro assumed that Kabuto had blood type A because such individuals (according to the superstition) are considered to be organized meticulous and cautious :D

Watching you watch makes me remember the moments and chills i get with your reactions.
Rochi asked his blood type cause that is basically like horoscopes in Japanese culture
Dude your edits actually kill me 😂
Nice one thank you for your reaction 🎉❤
slowly approaching the greatest arc in anime history (i’m blinded by my childhood nostalgia but it’s still fire asf)
It's a shounen. They need to slowly explain even obvious stuff for the 9-year-old kids watching. That's why you get that long scene of them slowly figuring out what Sai's book is about.
LETS GOOO I WAITED A WHOKE WEEK FOR THIS BABY.

"Rent was due" 😂
Been waiting for thissssss
if Solo was stunned ab how they didn't figure out sai was in the book, i hope he doesn't get to watch bleach where everything anyone says no matter how obvious it is, the answers are always "Huh?" or "What do you mean?" :))
W reactions my man
the blood type stuff was about personality types as theirs a belief it effects your personality
How you manage to upload right when I'm supposed to be doing something productive 😂 I have to drop everything and watch asap you know!
The necklace can be a random gift as well as a token that came in handy later on, I don’t think it was premeditated. Also, not all jinchuriki have the same life experience. Not all of them are hated or used as a weapon by their village, Naruto transformed later in his life than other Jinchurikis and imo that’s what makes him different than other Jinchurikis.
Just bought some snacks, perfect timing
Naruto had to feel like a prize and had to work hard for it. But, Sunade was always going to give it to him.
"Okay VA; rent was due!"
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
29:29
50:20 it's not because they're stupid. It's for the adience, the stupidiest of them.
I can actually answer the blood type question!
the Japanese (i don't know if its a large demographic) believe that blood type is kind of like how horoscopes work, and your personality is determined by it. thats why anime wiki's will list character bloodtype.
"Let him beat his ass....and then um....then turn him off..." hahahahaha
LETS GOOOOO IM SO READY FOR THIS
Loving the naruto reactions.
Will there be more one piece videos?
Very good fight.
for some reason I thought that when kabuto said AB you would add a meme of someone saying DCEFG 😭
How gross do we make Orochimaru?
Yes! 😂
Bro cant wait for your reaction on what follow this
sad i missed the first 24 hrs, beyond glad i got another naruto drop lol
You're too funny man 😂
22:45 - simple, because if Naruto becomes the Nine Tails, he'll be significantly easier to overtake, and no longer able to be protected by the Leaf. it would be a Weapon without an Owner, a Beast to be tamed and brought to heel. of course in the process Naruto would be gone, a dead husk like Gaara was after the Tailed Beast was ripped from his body.
Orochimaru my fucked up GOAT
This is the best thing to wake up to ❤🥹
And this is where you see the similarities between this and DBZ
Six episodes of building up/power up
Already watched it once early. But time to watch it again!!
*YOU ARE MY FRIEND* 🗣
I hope you do the movies, too. Blood Prison is nutssss
Orochimaru asking about Kabuto's blood type because it's like the Japanese horoscope. We use Virgo or Aries or Gemini as our personality types, while the Japanese use blood types.
Later down the line, you’ll see fights and power making that form of Naruto seem like an insect compared to a dinosaur.
LETS GOO BROTHER!!
Work can wait... I'm on lunch... YEAH BOI
