while kishimoto didn't have a lot good female characters, Tsunade is truly one of the best main ones that have stayed consistent throughout the show. Her back story was sad and heartbreaking, as well as helpful into understanding how she became the person she is in the series. Even the good ones (Kushina, Konan) are dead.
What do you mean, there is an abundance of great female characters in naruto. Ino, sakura, tsunade, hinata, kaguya, mei, paku, temari, sarada, lady chiyo, konan, tenten, rin, and kushina to name a few. Kishimoto has created a lot of strong, kind, and fleshed out female characters. I don't know why people think that he can't write good female characters, when he has created some of the best in anime in general. Saying otherwise discredits the important roles they played in the show and the feats that they accomplished.
@@xavierrobbins3367 It's because most of the female cast were flashes in the pan, Tsunade was the only consistent one. Then due to the nasty power creep a lot of them ended up "weak" to a lot of viewers.
@@ExeErdna there was no power creep in the show. Each character was born with a specific set of talent, intelligence, and familial abilities if that pertains to them. Each character that stayed alive trained themselves to their up most limit to master the abilities they were born with. This applies to the female characters too. The females we have seen are incredibly strong, but since they were kids they started out very weak unless they came from a strong bloodline. So they along with most other characters needed some time before they could fight on their own. It isn't a matter of them being written to be weak, they just needed more time until they could become conventionally strong. Only people like minato, kakashi, itachi, etc. that this doesn't apply to.
First time discovering this channel and first video I’m watching. Not hating but first impression is that Sages rain sound like he is trying too hard to narrate.

@@PersonaofWill I am not defending either of them But their actions don't excuse Tsunade Sasuke was dangerous And Madara was already an example how powerful Uchiha can get Besides it was the law She didn't act in it just for her person feelings
I admittingly criticized Tsunade since she was most likely the "Weakest" Hokage and saw her status of being the Sannin started to worn off. Sage's Rain put a very new perspective that she may not be the most powerful, she is the most human Hokage (and overall Kage) ever. Naruto does a fantastic job telling a character's journey after what would seem to be an unbearable loss or weakness, and elevates them to the be the best it can be through defending those that they loved so they can strive for no loss. Princess Tsunade is no exception.
I feel like when we first saw tsunade she was a bit lost and broken from the lost of her comrades and close people. But jiraiya got her on the right path and when the village needed her most she was there.
For someone like Jiraiya to be a perv and do his research on loose looking women, it gives me a bit of a mind shocker to see he can have a meaningful side to him should he deal with a woman like Tsunade.
Tsunade Senju a woman of many names: The first’s granddaughter Kakegurui Legendary sucker World’s Greatest medical ninja But two name’s she’ll never be rid of are: granny and the fifth hokage, she protected the leaf against great evil at the expense of herself overcame he fears of blood and seeing loved ones die due to Naruto’s example which she took to heart and stepped up when the village needed a leader. Her story to me is about overcoming fear and enduring through the bad times even when you are at your weakest, although Tsunade used less than healthy methods to cope with grief such as numbing the pain through alcohol and sacrificing every penny just to feel something, anything. When Naruto showed her his resolve it strengthened her to take up the mantle of hokage and lead the Konoha through any evil and power through it. During the war she gained closure after meeting with Dan and that gave her the strength to keep fighting even though her body was beyond repair. Love is what gave Tsunade the will to live on and keep fighting that is what endurance is whenever I see Tsunade Senju.
@@divyasoin588 English dub for whatever the Japanese version of her bad gambling habits was. I haven’t watched Naruto in a very long time so I forgot what it is in Japanese.
I’ve always thought Lady Tsunade to be an underrated character. A woman with a steadfast heart who’s filled with the conviction of faith towards her village. I’ve always thought it to be comical of how during Tsunade’s reign as Hokage, we rarely see her in the presence of the elders/Danzo. And when with them, they’re usually at each other’s throats. Not that their input or concerns were completely without merit but if we look at the results of their decisions, then we know that their protection over the leaf only festered unto the next generation of Shinobi. Whereas Tsunade was the active Hokage when the world of said-Shinobi was saved by the very leaf ninja she decided to place her faith in. Quite fitting for the medical ninja to have been in office when the world was saved and the great nations united Anyways, I’m always glad to see her character be appreciated and praised, because it’s definitely deserved. So may her will of fire burn unto not only the future generation of Naruto but in our world as well. Here’s to you, granny Tsunade
Everyone talks about the other Kages because of how grandiose they are but with Tsunade we saw the compassionate side of it all, which I think is just as important
She is the only major female character in the entirety of naruto written in a decent enough manner. As for people who call her weak, it is just bad writing and lack of opportunities provided to showcase her abilities to the fullest........atleast this is what I see.
@@PersonaofWill ikr! People still be calling Sakura weak just because of the author's poor female character development when she is the strongest kunoichi in whole damn Konoha and possibly the entire Naruto verse. Tsunade is a legendary Sannin! How the fuck can she be weak. These haters need to get a life, Lol.......
Tsunade protected the village and groomed the next generation during a time when Konoha was in a terrible situation. She protected the village and its citizens and made diplomatic relations possible, She believed in kids when the adults did not and also inspired them. Tsunade also did her best to protect Sasuke from others when he left the village. She was the Hokage the village needed the most and she did her part exceptionally.
The 3rd literally died for him and the rest of the village, but sure let's keep up this dumb circlrejerk that Sarutobi was an uncaring ass. It's not like he can't display favoritism or anything.
@@tutumazibuko2510 I mean I wouldn't say he was uncaring but he really didn't do much for him. He left him in an apartment all on his own, and only occasionally decided to check on him. Plus it was his buddy danzo who leaked the info about Naruto being the 9 tails to the village, and he did nothing to stop or punish danzo for it. He let the village terrorize/shun naruto for 13 years. If at any point naruto gave in and wanted everyone dead that would've been on the 3rd. Also him looking out for naruto wouldn't be favoritism. It's not like he's gonna automatically let naruto pass the graduation exam or anything. It could be seen as the hokage taking interest in the well-being of the village's one and only deterrent against the tailed beasts of other villages. No matter how you look at it the 3rd could've done more for naruto. Oh, and dying was an act for the whole village. It wasn't naruto specific btw.
@@King_Ryuga You are forgetting how absolutely taxing and overbearing being Hokage is. The amount of work it requires and attention he barely had any left to spare for himself. The time he did have left he spent on few ppl Naruto being a primary one of them.
@@Blaze8910 Nah, my point stands. Is it taxing being the hokage? sure. He still should've done more for Naruto despite that. In Boruto, Naruto had a similar issue with making time for things outside of being hokage but he learned. And that's Naruto making time for his whole family. The third just needed to do that for one kid.
@@tutumazibuko2510 You mean the " hokage " leader that was spying through his cristal globe on how a 7 years old Naruto was raising himself after he just promised to the 4th hokage Minato that he will take good care on Naruto? Sure, people are underestimating Hiruzen, for real man.
To me, Tsunade is impressive because she managed to hold her own among characters written to be pretty much gods. While compared she’s lower on the power list but she’s an amazing ninja none the less.
For the fifth Hokage, fierce in power who was both extremely wise and willing to learn new lessons, even as those lessons were coming from a spikey-haired, knuckle-head ninja doing talk no jutsu...
This was so well done I could almost cry. Tsunade was my favorite, and I love what she represented. Outside of Naruto and maybe Kakashi and Minato, I would say she is also the most balanced hokage as well. Hashirama was too naive and soft, Tobirama was too militaristic and prejudiced, and Hiruzen was too much of a pushover to his fellow council members and just wouldn't deal with Danzo. There's a video that better explains why she's the best Hokage called "Who is the best Hokage?" highly recommend.
She was honestly a great hokage. The way she managed so many disasters and refused to be weighed down by the past (not hesitating to get rid of the council once they proved to be unhelpful). Sure she made some mistakes like with Jiraya, but you also have to understand how dangerous a mission it was and how keeping such a team to a minimum would be important. She understood her people and did what she could to help them improve. She wasn't afraid to act when she needed to, accepting any consequences that came her way. I think she was a far superior hokage to the third and people need to give her a lot more respect and credit.
One of the great things the 4th great ninja war did was give Tsunade moments against madara. From how I remember it the fandom was calling her trash due to Naruto having to save the village against pain. Great vid
Whenever people bitch and moan about how Kishimoto fucked up with his female characters, though right may or may not be, just remember how well he wrote Tsunade Senju.
Well I love Tsunade and it fits with her story that she would want to protect the dreams of Nawaki/Dan/Naruto to become Hokage and her storyline is great in my eyes (even if she does get a lot of hate, since people seem to think only raw power is important in the narutoverse, and not healing justu or even diplomacy). But it's auite annoying that NOT one female character has a dream of her own. Like, not a single lady in Naruto has a dream that isn't linked to a guy (most female characters wants to date whatever guy, or wants to protect and help a guy's dream be realized), and that's pretty bad writing. Like people don't even have to have a dream, it's fine not to have one, but it would be nice not to have every female characters putting other (male) characters at the center of their world and purpose
@@elsafowl funny thing is people rag on Kishimoto for this when most shonen do the same. BLEACH's Orijime and Rukya's arcs where centered around the male protagonist. Hxh had one good female character and she died the same arc. Then we got Bisky who was just there. Think about how deep Jiraiya is and compare him to Bisky. People need to realise it's not jusg kishimoto who does this. Even Aot which I consider a masterpiece has Mikasa follow this trope. Which is weird since every other female character in the show is really good.
Best Hokage the Leaf has ever had. Not strongest, not the greatest legend, but the best. Leadership in spades, always knew when to be strict and when to cut slack, and died for the village like three times. Even Naruto and Hashirama have to respect that.
For someone who grew in a time where Shonen sexualized women I think Kishimoto does deserve credit for putting an effort at writing female characters.Lets not forget Kishi did fall out of love with manga and anime and his best work happened to be his first work and he was learning on the job I really hope that female manga publications get the marketing they need
Avatar Aang once said to his successor that when one hits their lowest point they are open to the greatest change. After all that gambling and time away from being with people who should matter the most, Tsunade fell deeper into despair and solitude. We all know what solitude and loneliness does to people in this world and in the world of Naruto, notably Obito, Madara, Kakashi, Sasuke, Gaara, Kabuto, Danzo and others. Those mentioned who have survived were changed by experiences or at least given opportunities to change. If Tsunade and Naruto hadn't met, things would've been way different.
This made me appreciate her alot more. Besides how well she did in the fight with Madara, I never really thought too highly of her and her importance before this.
Somehow it seems those who heal so often carry such heavy burdens and bear so many scars, whether they are seen or unseen. Great video, I really liked Tsunade a lot.
Not gonna lie, I was just now in deep thought about why I’ve made the decisions that I’ve made to get me to this point. I now realize it’s because I didn’t want to lose the friends that I’ve made. I started thinking if I made the right choice and I just couldn’t figure out if it was right at all. I had been wrestling with this thought for a while and I saw this video pop up in my notifications. “Through loss,, she’s become a cynical and bitter woman...she lost everything, and for a moment she almost threw it all away for a chance to see the people she lost”
Man I need to watch Naruto again, I still remember first watching it Saturday nights on Toonami and just being so in love with it lol. Such a comfort show for me and forever a classic in my mind!!! Great vid as always 😊
Okay, I'll admit that I did not realize how empathetic Tsunade was. I had immense respect for her but this is a beautiful insight on her whole life, to show her focus alongside her motivation and reasoning.
This is by far the best video I have seen on Tsunade, who is one of my personal heroes in the Naruto franchise. Thank you for the love and care you have put in this video. I am from today a proud subscriber of your channel and can't wait to dive into all your content. Keep up the great work, sir!
Tsunade is the true heroine of Naruto having the best character development in Part 1, overcoming her fear of blood and embracing the title of Hokage in honor of her deceased brother and lover.
i don't know about strength, but she definitely was the best Hokage. if it weren't for her, the other villages would never trust konoha, after what Danzo did. she lead konoha to victory in every way. way too underrated.
She was down then she rose she cares for the village and is willing to die to protect the village and she tries to preserve dreams and is the true embodiment of hashirama's granddaughter
In a way, if it isn't Jiraiya or Naruto, the one person I think in-universe knows Tsunade to the greatest extent is her constant companion, Shizune. I don't know exactly where it is stated directly, but Shizune is in fact Dan's niece. Having someone that close to the lover she lost must've made it easy for Tsunade to bond with the black-haired medic. Their relationship highlights to me that the bond between teacher and student can and should go both ways, Tsunade teaching Shizune medical ninjutsu and bringing her up to Jonin level, while Shizune takes care of Tsunade's every need during her time away from the village. I'm willing to bet that it was Shizune that first noticed the similarity between Tsunade and Sakura when the Fifth Hokage took her in. While the student/teacher relationship would still go on, evolving into leader/advisor, one could also argue the mother/daughter or grandmother/granddaughter angle for these two women.
The 5th Hokage may have failed in her many gambling exploits, but she went all in with her bet on Naruto and his generation in a way that no one else would have, and she hit the Jackpot! Her faith in them and work to invest in them helped pushed them to greatness! Truly a legend. -She pushed Naruto to learn the Rasengan. - She trained Sakura into an elite ninja and healer - She had unwaivering support to bring Sasuke back - She worked tirelessly to restore Rock Lee’s health and took a big risk to do it. - She was pivotal in getting Shikamaru out of apathy. Sending him on the mission to retrieve Sasuke was pivotal in the progress of Him along with Kiba, Choji, Neji, and Naruto. - She refused to allow the likes of Danzo and the elders to jade her and helped foster a world of shinobi compliance.
The first time I heard her not to underestimate the will of fire I had chills, first time I really felt something for what a characters words meant to others
Always excellent. Naruto has so many good characters. Every time I see one of your videos or someone else's talking about a specific one, I always think 'That's right. Maybe that one is the best.' Tsunade is special though.
Only you Sage can make me go from being indifferent about a character to actually liking the character! Your love and passion for the characters you like is amazing! Stay safe bro, and I can’t wait for the next video!
So happy sage posted again I just binged all of the older videos last week wondering when the next vid would drop love this and the rock Lee one bangers
Amazing essay. I suggest doing Tobirama Senju in the future, how his philosophies differ from his brother's, his caution of the Uchiha, and the way he molded the Shinobi world as a whole with his institutes, such as the ANBU and the Academy.
Your vidoes are so heartwarming. I love the way you make these vidoes. It's been awhile since I've watched Naruto and watching your videos make me go through a memory lane and experience all the different kinds of emotions I felt while watching this beautiful series. Keep up the good work bro. ❤️❤️
All of these clips with the cartoonnetwork logo in it reminds me why I love it over channels like nickelodeon. CN even to this day isn't afraid to show more mature shows or shows with mature themes. But when they first showed Naruto, they showed the whole thing many times before being sent to Toonami.
Coming back to this video 3 years later, I think there's something very touching and meaningful (whether Kishimoto intended it to be read this way or not) that Naruto's first Rasengan was manifested in an act of protecting someone else, Tsunade in particular. Tsunade as the greatest medical ninja symbolizes a kind of meliorism and love, a belief that things can get better if pursued in earnest. In the end, all powerful ninjutsu or whatnot in the Narutoverse is the most powerful when used to protect the hopes, dreams, and love of one's people. The Will of Fire is indeed strong.
It's like no one's original anymore all I want to do is become Hokage. The hokage is like an arrow and it's like no one wants to be the archer, or bow that launches that Arrow or the wind that keeps that Arrow flying as far as possible.
thank you for watching! two videos left in naruto month, i hope you all enjoyed this one. truly one of my favourites in naruto

Me: has homework
Me: notices this video
also me: eh another video wont hurt
It's not just homework my man it's a lifestyle
What a beautiful curse.😂🤟
For the fifth Hokage, fierce in power who was both extremely wise and willing to learn new lessons, even as those lessons were coming from a spikey-haired, knuckle-head ninja doing talk no jutsu...
This was so well done I could almost cry. Tsunade was my favorite, and I love what she represented. Outside of Naruto and maybe Kakashi and Minato, I would say she is also the most balanced hokage as well. Hashirama was too naive and soft, Tobirama was too militaristic and prejudiced, and Hiruzen was too much of a pushover to his fellow council members and just wouldn't deal with Danzo. There's a video that better explains why she's the best Hokage called "Who is the best Hokage?" highly recommend.
She was honestly a great hokage. The way she managed so many disasters and refused to be weighed down by the past (not hesitating to get rid of the council once they proved to be unhelpful). Sure she made some mistakes like with Jiraya, but you also have to understand how dangerous a mission it was and how keeping such a team to a minimum would be important. She understood her people and did what she could to help them improve. She wasn't afraid to act when she needed to, accepting any consequences that came her way.
I think she was a far superior hokage to the third and people need to give her a lot more respect and credit.
One of the great things the 4th great ninja war did was give Tsunade moments against madara. From how I remember it the fandom was calling her trash due to Naruto having to save the village against pain. Great vid
Whenever people bitch and moan about how Kishimoto fucked up with his female characters, though right may or may not be, just remember how well he wrote Tsunade Senju.
Facts
Massive shame about the rest though, including the central female side character.
Well I love Tsunade and it fits with her story that she would want to protect the dreams of Nawaki/Dan/Naruto to become Hokage and her storyline is great in my eyes (even if she does get a lot of hate, since people seem to think only raw power is important in the narutoverse, and not healing justu or even diplomacy). But it's auite annoying that NOT one female character has a dream of her own. Like, not a single lady in Naruto has a dream that isn't linked to a guy (most female characters wants to date whatever guy, or wants to protect and help a guy's dream be realized), and that's pretty bad writing. Like people don't even have to have a dream, it's fine not to have one, but it would be nice not to have every female characters putting other (male) characters at the center of their world and purpose
@@elsafowl funny thing is people rag on Kishimoto for this when most shonen do the same.
BLEACH's Orijime and Rukya's arcs where centered around the male protagonist. Hxh had one good female character and she died the same arc. Then we got Bisky who was just there. Think about how deep Jiraiya is and compare him to Bisky.
People need to realise it's not jusg kishimoto who does this. Even Aot which I consider a masterpiece has Mikasa follow this trope. Which is weird since every other female character in the show is really good.
Tsunade was also the first of the Five Kage to kill, not seal, an Edo Madara clone
Thank you for giving Tsunade the respect she deserves❤️
Tsunade has been my favourite for so long. Thank you.
Best Hokage the Leaf has ever had. Not strongest, not the greatest legend, but the best. Leadership in spades, always knew when to be strict and when to cut slack, and died for the village like three times. Even Naruto and Hashirama have to respect that.
i don’t know man there’s always this sense of calmness in his content... something in his voice that drives me towards one of his videos every day
For someone who grew in a time where Shonen sexualized women I think Kishimoto does deserve credit for putting an effort at writing female characters.Lets not forget Kishi did fall out of love with manga and anime and his best work happened to be his first work and he was learning on the job I really hope that female manga publications get the marketing they need
Avatar Aang once said to his successor that when one hits their lowest point they are open to the greatest change. After all that gambling and time away from being with people who should matter the most, Tsunade fell deeper into despair and solitude. We all know what solitude and loneliness does to people in this world and in the world of Naruto, notably Obito, Madara, Kakashi, Sasuke, Gaara, Kabuto, Danzo and others. Those mentioned who have survived were changed by experiences or at least given opportunities to change. If Tsunade and Naruto hadn't met, things would've been way different.
Tsunades always been one of favorite characters. Especially among the kunoichi
Im a simple man I see sages rain
I click
I kinda dropped off your videos and I’m so glad I’m back. Quality never dropped in fact it’s even improved. Keep it up Sage I can’t wait for more ❤️🌧
This made me appreciate her alot more. Besides how well she did in the fight with Madara, I never really thought too highly of her and her importance before this.
Somehow it seems those who heal so often carry such heavy burdens and bear so many scars, whether they are seen or unseen. Great video, I really liked Tsunade a lot.
She is the best female character in the naruto series, and also one of the best hokages, she is underrated and people dont appreicate her enough.
And what a beautiful thing, that when Konoha was most wounded, it was Tsunade, a _healer_ the best choice to take the mantle of Hokage.
Not gonna lie, I was just now in deep thought about why I’ve made the decisions that I’ve made to get me to this point. I now realize it’s because I didn’t want to lose the friends that I’ve made. I started thinking if I made the right choice and I just couldn’t figure out if it was right at all. I had been wrestling with this thought for a while and I saw this video pop up in my notifications. “Through loss,, she’s become a cynical and bitter woman...she lost everything, and for a moment she almost threw it all away for a chance to see the people she lost”
This video helped me realize that tsunade is my favorite Naruto character!
Tsunade will always have a place in my heart
I get chills watching these videos.
Thank you for doing this 💜
I love her
Man I need to watch Naruto again, I still remember first watching it Saturday nights on Toonami and just being so in love with it lol. Such a comfort show for me and forever a classic in my mind!!! Great vid as always 😊
The legendary sucker is such a dirty name
Bro i just realized that 😭
i watched enough hentai to like that name 😏😏😏
Okay, I'll admit that I did not realize how empathetic Tsunade was. I had immense respect for her but this is a beautiful insight on her whole life, to show her focus alongside her motivation and reasoning.
This is by far the best video I have seen on Tsunade, who is one of my personal heroes in the Naruto franchise. Thank you for the love and care you have put in this video. I am from today a proud subscriber of your channel and can't wait to dive into all your content. Keep up the great work, sir!
Tsunade is the true heroine of Naruto having the best character development in Part 1, overcoming her fear of blood and embracing the title of Hokage in honor of her deceased brother and lover.
One of my favorite characters in the whole series. She is so selfless, dedicated and wise.
i don't know about strength, but she definitely was the best Hokage. if it weren't for her, the other villages would never trust konoha, after what Danzo did. she lead konoha to victory in every way. way too underrated.
Thank you for this video! Tsunade is one of my favorite characters this character analysis is so well done , great job !
Sage Rain posted on my birthday, today was a good day, thank you for the great upload man!
Constantly love your videos. So much wisdom, appreciation, and understanding comes from your voice and analysis. Thank you for your work!
She was down then she rose she cares for the village and is willing to die to protect the village and she tries to preserve dreams and is the true embodiment of hashirama's granddaughter
In a way, if it isn't Jiraiya or Naruto, the one person I think in-universe knows Tsunade to the greatest extent is her constant companion, Shizune. I don't know exactly where it is stated directly, but Shizune is in fact Dan's niece. Having someone that close to the lover she lost must've made it easy for Tsunade to bond with the black-haired medic. Their relationship highlights to me that the bond between teacher and student can and should go both ways, Tsunade teaching Shizune medical ninjutsu and bringing her up to Jonin level, while Shizune takes care of Tsunade's every need during her time away from the village. I'm willing to bet that it was Shizune that first noticed the similarity between Tsunade and Sakura when the Fifth Hokage took her in. While the student/teacher relationship would still go on, evolving into leader/advisor, one could also argue the mother/daughter or grandmother/granddaughter angle for these two women.
The 5th Hokage may have failed in her many gambling exploits, but she went all in with her bet on Naruto and his generation in a way that no one else would have, and she hit the Jackpot!
Her faith in them and work to invest in them helped pushed them to greatness! Truly a legend.
-She pushed Naruto to learn the Rasengan.
- She trained Sakura into an elite ninja and healer
- She had unwaivering support to bring Sasuke back
- She worked tirelessly to restore Rock Lee’s health and took a big risk to do it.
- She was pivotal in getting Shikamaru out of apathy. Sending him on the mission to retrieve Sasuke was pivotal in the progress of Him along with Kiba, Choji, Neji, and Naruto.
- She refused to allow the likes of Danzo and the elders to jade her and helped foster a world of shinobi compliance.
Tsunade is a fine woman.
Thankyou for making this, your voice holds great weight.
Your Naruto episodes always tear me up a bit... this anime means so much to me
The first time I heard her not to underestimate the will of fire I had chills, first time I really felt something for what a characters words meant to others
my favorite character
This was so good, love Tsunade
She is the best woman in the shinobi world of all time ✨️
Your videos make me remember exactly what I loved about Naruto, please keep this up
Always excellent.
Naruto has so many good characters. Every time I see one of your videos or someone else's talking about a specific one, I always think 'That's right. Maybe that one is the best.' Tsunade is special though.
Only you Sage can make me go from being indifferent about a character to actually liking the character!
Your love and passion for the characters you like is amazing!
Stay safe bro, and I can’t wait for the next video!
I love the new Naruto uploads, please make more! :)
So happy sage posted again I just binged all of the older videos last week wondering when the next vid would drop love this and the rock Lee one bangers
Amazing essay.
I suggest doing Tobirama Senju in the future, how his philosophies differ from his brother's, his caution of the Uchiha, and the way he molded the Shinobi world as a whole with his institutes, such as the ANBU and the Academy.
Your naruto vids are the best videos on youtube, keep it up🔥💜
Your vidoes are so heartwarming. I love the way you make these vidoes. It's been awhile since I've watched Naruto and watching your videos make me go through a memory lane and experience all the different kinds of emotions I felt while watching this beautiful series. Keep up the good work bro. ❤️❤️
Tsunade was the closest mother figure to Naruto that he never had. She nurtured him and get to watch him grow into a strong shinobi
Tsunade is probably the most underrated Hokage or any leader of the Naruto World
Dude everytime I watch your video, I cry
Good stuff. Your stuff makes my day!
Your knowledge and voice are tremendous.
Yes please keep uploading Naruto videos we love you
Dude... your videos have so much heart it's barely bearable. I am so grateful I got to see your channel
Thank you for all the hard work!
All of these clips with the cartoonnetwork logo in it reminds me why I love it over channels like nickelodeon. CN even to this day isn't afraid to show more mature shows or shows with mature themes. But when they first showed Naruto, they showed the whole thing many times before being sent to Toonami.
Coming back to this video 3 years later, I think there's something very touching and meaningful (whether Kishimoto intended it to be read this way or not) that Naruto's first Rasengan was manifested in an act of protecting someone else, Tsunade in particular. Tsunade as the greatest medical ninja symbolizes a kind of meliorism and love, a belief that things can get better if pursued in earnest. In the end, all powerful ninjutsu or whatnot in the Narutoverse is the most powerful when used to protect the hopes, dreams, and love of one's people. The Will of Fire is indeed strong.
LIKE THIS MANS VIDS THEY ALWAYS HIT!!!!
Hi buddy, I love your videos, your make me cry sometimes
Amazing video. Did not know your content until today. Binging and loving all your naruto video essays. Amazing work my friend!!!
It's like no one's original anymore all I want to do is become Hokage. The hokage is like an arrow and it's like no one wants to be the archer, or bow that launches that Arrow or the wind that keeps that Arrow flying as far as possible.
You changed my perception of Tsunade❤️
Truly remarkable
Tsunade is so well written it almost makes me question reality
