    Just came to realization, that Naruto running is actually quite realistic, in their universe. They jump from tree to tree, meaning they should rather be considered flying than running. Spending most time midair, it’s reasonable that their posture focuses on wind resistance and the control of their balance to land with their feet where they want.

    • @marspark6351
      @marspark6351 Рік тому +8

      Yah even if we ignore the fantastical element that the characters are so fast that it's best to remove air drag, I can see the stance actually being practical in real life for a variety of reasons.
      But first, you have to take note that in the original naruto manga, the running stance is that you lean super low, and your arms are more or less naturally back because your upper body is so low. It's really the anime that kinda ruined this by having them not lean as much. I think it's only fair to compare with the actual author's intent. So, it's really not so much the arms that should be the focus, but how low the upper body goes.
      One factor that's worth taking into consideration is that all the ninjas have a lot they are carrying around. Especially early on in the manga, they would often show with backpacks. And almost all of them tend to carry weapons around the vest and belts. If you've ever ran with a heavy backpack, you would quickly realize how hard it is to run with your backpack bouncing up and down. Instead if you lean forward and minimize the up-and-down motion in running, it gets significantly easier. Try it out yourself. Get a heavy backpack and try running while you lean forward. It is significantly easier than running body straight

      Someone who practices running in the ninja style could in theory get more efficient at it... Your body needs to memorize a different sort of form.
      Also it could train your lower body a lot more because it strains your muscles more.
      Inefficiency doesn't mean you don't gain anything from it.
      If you want to train stamina in shorter time frames you subject yourself to a handicap basically.

The issue is the amount of time anyone has spent their life doing regular runs simply puts such a strain on trying to. Animie run that. Its never going to be relaxed enough to test. Evenly. If you grew up only ever animie running you would have muscle memory. And knowing just where back there your arms could be also neither of you had your heads down quite as far as i immagine. Really. Running ninja style would be. The test is not flawed. But. The test cant be done without a lifelong dedicated. Ninja run. Runner. Not. A champ but relaxed.

    Ok. I'm going to state for the record that even in Naruto, it's faster to run while moving your arms than not. There is an episode where they are guarding a guy doing a race. He easily and consistently outruns them even when they are trying their hardest to catch him. He moves faster than they can while he is moving his arms.
    The real reason they run like that is to keep their hands free for weapons or grabbing onto things while they are running through trees. And because, and I cannot stress this enough, the biggest reason: with the amount of running they do, it's easier to animate.

    Easy answer: Anime are animated images. If you animate the regular running loop there are a lot more frames in regards of arms, hands etc. If you animate the 'ninja' loop there a less frames = less money and time spent. Why do you think DBZ characters flew so 'staticly'?

  • @Silvershire

    I never interpreted "anime running" as a purposeful technique; I always thought it was just a representation of the fact that they're moving so fast that their arms can't fight the wind resistance and go back like a flag in the wind. It's similar to how fast or acrobatic characters are often animated with scarves or headbands so that you can track the direction of their movement more easily.

    Hope this makes it into footnotes. I’ve been watching for a month or so and went through almost all your videos and finally made a video in time to comment. There’s a video called “the last ninja explains naruto running” it’s very interesting (all subtitles) you should watch it sometime. In the video the man talks about how ninja were mostly used for delivering information and while it was important to know how to fight it wasn’t their main focus to get into fights. He goes on to explain that the method of running they use while leaning forwards (in the video you can see that the lean is not as extreme as it is on naruto) is used because when you lean forward you naturally want to fall so it helps save energy and when you aren’t doing it at a ridiculous angle you are getting the good momentum without sacrificing your balance. Also he explained that when a real ninja runs they keep their arms down by their hips and sides to keep their swords from swinging wildly. They also lift their knees up high so they don’t trip on obstacles when trying to flee at night. Side note for all of the fans that love naruto: in the same video he also explained that they really do hand signs and that they don’t believe it “crafts their chakra” but it is used as a way to help calm their selves.

      This person's got it! And the video I was going to mention, too! xD
      It isn't about being more 'aerodynamic', per se (it does helps in not having arms flailing about though),it's about being in a constant state of falling forward, and using your feet to keep you up. Thus, both forces (kinda like the Shuttle orbiting Earth) act together to give what appears to be a 'faster' forward motion. But it's just more a more efficient form, fit for their tasks.
      And it's the very approach used in this channel's video (and almost every other test ever done) that many people get wrong in trying to emulate it, either for fun or for testing. Most just simply bend their upper bodies forward, then run as they normally would, keeping their arms behind them. But that is *entirely* the wrong way to do it. You need to start off by leaning forward, and let yourself start to fall forward. *Then*, use your legs and feet to keep yourself as far from doing a face-plant as you can.

    • @joshuasomeones9618
      @joshuasomeones9618 5 років тому +1

      Another thing to add into this is the theme of stealth. As listed above they are mindful of energy conservation, not tripping, and keeping the sound to a minimum. Another thing to add to all of that is your body is lower to the ground with less visible movement. In the shadows you better blend into the background. Ninjas were never meant for fighting though it did happen, it was all spy work.
      Side note; The Shogun of Japan would use Samuri to pretend to be Ninja for assassinations. This way it was blamed on the Ninja instead. This caused the view of Ninja to be seen as assassins more than the spies they really were.

      Way back in elementary school I used to be one of the slowest guys in class. One time I tried running 60m with anime style and my time did improve, but the teacher didn't approve and I had to revert to the usual technique.
      Perhaps there is some truth in "Naruto run" being a better option for slow people. It might be part psychological: "I must run faster or I will fall on my face".

    • @saldiven2009

      Slowest runners tend to run very vertically, which is ineffective to fast running. Instead, they should run with a forward body posture. The "anime run" puts the body into this forward body posture, which will help an untrained runner go a bit faster.

    I know this is a year old but there is a few variables that I think are not taken into account (in general).
    First, they are both professionals in terms of fitness and are taught the proper way to run, breaking from that means their brains are naturally going to fight it and get back into proper form.
    Secondly, there was a legitimate style of 'ninja running' but even that had a proper form (point 1). The point of the form was not to run extremely fast, but rather run efficiently, focusing on covering vast amounts of distance as quickly as possible, as quietly as possible, with minimal drain to one's stamina.
    Essentially, to compare Olympic runners to ninjas would be basically like comparing military hand to hand combat vs boxing. 2 different styles for 2 vastly different professions and purposes.

    The whole "anime run" comes from two things, noh/kabuki theater where stage space was limited and the actor wanted to create an impression of speed, also, sometimes the costumes were quite elaborate and elevating the arms up and back when they "ran" prevented them stepping on the overly long sleeves of their outfits, and two, an animation trick, when they are shown running like that they only need to draw the head, shoulders and some of the legs although sometimes not even the legs, just "speed lines" to depict moving faster than the eye can see, this saved a bit of extra time drawing a torso and arms moving up and down etc and is now a staple of most action anime.

You keep your upper body relaxed and arms away from your body to interact with your surroundings and keep weapons in hand at a safe distance and the less upper body movement could help muffle any armour you are wearing if you were going into a combat situation. And the lower profile helps make you a smaller target, really it's more like running at a crouch more than a standing run. It's a technique for stealth, not speed.
      More than likely it was rarely used since more missions for ninja was intelligence gathering or infiltration which would require blending in, not standing out, and when combat was involved, samurai would be used, not ninja.
