[Premium Access] Naruto - Episode 54 The Summoning Jutsu, Wisdom of the Toad Sage! - Group Reaction

I like this intro personally

Sanatea

One More Step is such a good opening with meaning!! Give it a chance. Third openings don't always suck T-T

Lavota Carter

the 4th opening is fire, can't wait till you guys get to listen to that one.

Kishan P

Can’t wait till y’all see the higher level ninjustsu and hand to hand combat 🔥

Ahaha! That is really cute (the way he writes his name) it’s like his own personal Signature. Hell I didn’t even come up with my signature until this year, and I’m 24! It’s also not half as cool as Naruto’s.

Keep It Zen

Suraj: - I forget how FMA’s later opening songs compare with the first and the best but I’m pretty confident you’ll find Naruto openings down the road that surpass what you’ve heard so far! - You get a shadow clone, you get a shadow clone, you get a shadow clone! Naruto’s the Oprah of shadow clones - When Naruto was writing his name in blood, that last symbol was “to” from Na-ru-to. Even though the English dub read it as Naruto Uzumaki, and always introduces people by first name-surname, Japanese people always introduce themselves and write their names in the order of surname-first name. The way Naruto wrote ‘Na-ru-to’ in Japanese in this instance (since there are two different ways to write it) was なると. It’s actually really cute because for the と he extended the tail to curve inwards to make a swirly pattern, and that’s because he’s named after a ramen topping. “Naruto” is a type of sliced white fishcake with a pink/red swirly pattern at its centre that’s popularly eaten with ramen. That’s why it’s adorable Naruto loves ramen and a lot of his clothing/belongings have a swirly pattern on it. Here, even his signature has it - Nahid was right. The Kazekage is the Village Hidden by Sand’s leader, one of the Hokage’s counterparts, which resides in the Land of Wind. The Village Hidden by Sand is where Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro are from Chris: - Lolol the deadpan way you said “now add his blood to the collection, boy” Yes this is all normal, collecting blood like you collect marbles - Yeah anyone who internally monologues in the midst of danger are destined to die, there’s no escaping that self-trap - It’s interesting that you noted a sword on your back is the worst place to keep it. I agree about its impracticality. I love that you pick up on these details - All ANBU Black Ops wear those animalistic masks. I like the cat ones too - Wow that’s interesting. I had no idea crime rose during full moons, but I think you’re right it’s because of the extra light Rana: - Naruto, Sasuke~~~~ Lol - Wind chimes? Hahaha calling Suraj out like that - *Gasp* Tired guy! That was so funny. Hayate does look perpetually tired and sick - Ughhhh I know right? Girls don’t frolic in the water or splash each other while giggling lmao. I don’t know what fantasy this materialized from - Haha I think Naruto was tired for his standards. He has incredible stamina because of the nine-tail’s chakra, so even if he were to exhaust his own chakra he’d be able to summon a burst of energy if he really wanted. That’s probably why he bounced back up so readily after his own battle royale - I love how you always sympathize with characters who are taken advantage of, killed, or going through hardships. I actually love that Naruto isn’t someone who always succeeds at first try. He struggles endlessly but keeps persevering. It doesn’t mean he’s failed, it’s a work in progress. It makes him relatable

Micky: - I love it when you all spontaneously sing :’’’D It’s amazing - It’s really interesting that you mentioned you’re noticing a pattern of similar beats in the animes you’re watching. I have no doubt that’s the case because all the animes you’re watching currently are within the shounen genre and they all follow the same tropes and character matrices and developmental arcs. In fact, this traditional storytelling is systematically reinforced by large manga publishing companies. There are stringent editors that control how a manga artist’s story progresses so that it falls in line with the genre’s rules. With Kishimoto for example, he had no plans of doing a tournament arc (the Chuunin Exams) after the Land of Waves/Zabuza arc but his editors pushed him to do it because tournament arcs are, as you know, a staple of shounen anime and would invite more readership/profit. So Kishimoto had to rework his prior plans and come up with the Chuunin Exams arc. This is something he was forced to deal with throughout the duration of Naruto. So I’m sure you’ll continue to see parallels among shounen animes in the future. Other genres have their own rules too. It’s rather unfortunate in my opinion - It’s funny how early and accurately you called Dosu’s death even though technically sound should be faster than sand lol. I guess bloodlust goes a long way - I’m glad you found the pacing of this ep a little better. I enjoyed this one too because of the heightened tension and conspiracy. I mentioned this before, but it’ll really start to pick after ep 80. Hang in there. I can’t wait! - Lmaooo good-guy-eavesdroppers and whistleblowers-to-be cannot multitask. It’s too much to expect them to run and internal monologue about the villains they saw at the same time Nahid: - All your headbands look awesome! You look like a real ninja with the jacket on too - LOL why do you say the third intro of animes always suck? I find that so fascinating. Is that really a pattern you’ve noticed in all the anime you’ve seen? I have to pay more attention from now on. It could very well be true. I thought this intro was okay. I definitely had the same underwhelmed reaction when I first heard it. It’s very hard to follow the rock intensity of Haruka Kanata with a more melodic song and be as impressed, but it might grow on you with time as most songs do. Even if it doesn’t for you, that’s totally fine. No matter what, your opinions are valid. Just as some others are quick to judge you, you are free to judge the song three seconds or 10 seconds or one minute in or whatever. Psychologically it only takes thee to five seconds for a person to form a first impression, and so that was just yours. Nothing wrong with that at all! I’m just happy you’re all reacting to the opening and ending songs at all. I enjoy seeing it. And as you know Naruto is a series that changes up the songs often and there will be a lot more coming later! I wonder, do you have another counting rule for when openings are always good? - I love that you took the time to search up Dosu’s name haha. He did not die a nameless death thanks to you. Good job in finding it!

Sally

"The third one always sucks." Boi... Have you forgotten Sasageyo from Attack on Titan? That's opening 3 for that series, and I will fight anyone who says that one sucks.

Miasimon

Kazegake is the kage of the hidden sand village hokage is the kage of the hidden leaf raikage is the kage of the hidden cloud mizukage is the kage of the hidden mist tsuchikage is the kage of the hidden stone Kaze in the word kazekage translates to wind in english ,which is the land that the hidden sand resides

William Pahau

dw when get more into naruto youl love all the openings trust me , this is coming from a 17 year long fan

William Pahau

between jiraiya and orochimaru it's almost like creeping on little boys is mandatory for being a saanin. luckily the 3rd saanin is a much better person than both of them. also yeah this op sucks but shippuden op 3 is actually one of my favorites in anime

Emily

Chill with the spoilers please. Delete this

Keep It Zen

Ya'll I just gotta say she's right the 3rd opening slaps. It's one of my favorite Naruto openings.

Jenna Kochanski

the opening shows them the 3rd sennin.. normies: bad opening, not giving it attention

Hachem Hm

normies last ep: we now have seen 2 of the 3 sennins, when will we see the 3rd?

Hachem Hm

Im low key using this as a market substitute. I have only really watched every fight seen in Naruto but no plot. I know every important character and important backstory but that’s about it. I could never get to watching thousand of naruto episodes by myself so ima go on this journey with the normies 👊.

Will Cee

Nah im with him its annoying to me and its been fking years

joel bailey

Ok Normies he is the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, you all need to put some respect on the name, thank you very much.

Ryan

They probably would have liked it better if Nahid didn’t declare the song sucked after 5 seconds lol

Tim Xi

Once Nahid went on his stupid rant, they stopped paying attention to the intro.

Tim Xi

Don’t skip the intro, ever. You’ll get used to the music. If you skip it, you’ll always hate it. Don’t be sensitive over a song please. Honestly, you shouldn’t be hating anything after only 5 seconds anyways, Nahid, but whatever.

Tim Xi

Even more fun fact, the fun fact that Chris gave about the sword on the back is not entirely true and people have worn them on the back. You have to design the scabbard and the sword right for that kind of thing. It's less common, however. But it is mostly worn that way for carrying it around, not for being battle ready.

Michael Diaz

I mean, Jiraiya may be a major perv, but don't let that distract you. He is by far no joke. This guy is ridiculously powerful. Hence why he's a sage and a legendary sannin

Matt Kenny

oooh gaara's home. i remember fighting on top of that in the ninja storm games. wonder if they would ever try any of the naruto games out one day

rickie woodson

real shit same here

MajinVegeta420

The disrespect 🙃

Victoria

didnt you learn from avatar? filler doesnt = bad. thats not what that word means lol. filler is just an episode that doest progress the plot and is just there to fill out the season cause we need x amount of episodes. they can be good or bad but still skippable without loosing important plot points

rickie woodson

fire? thought they were the hidden leaf village?

rickie woodson

cool band. what village is that from? (nahid's band)

rickie woodson

3rd OP of Naruto: Shippudden is one of the best openings, can't wait to get to it this time next year haha

Curtis

That mustve been a good ass cookie! Lol makes you wanna sing some Alicia Keys to it

This OP isn't bad, its just Haruka Kanata was the shit

Its Jimmu

Kage means shadow. Hokage means "fire shadow" because they are from the land of fire. Kazekage means "wind shadow" because they are for the land of wind.

kinky28

3rd opening of Attack non Titan is an exception to Nahid's rule

Chili Chanda

He’s big boned!

Zee

Whoa Micky he ain't fat.

Jarrod Watkins

last week of tthe month

The Normies

RIP Hayate. The dopest and sickest proctor we could’ve asked for

Zee

People have their opinions but I think he likes the more hype openings. Explains why he also didn't like the 4th opening of attack on titan.

BeesKnees

Exactly! That 3rd opening rule doesn't apply for Shippuden

Mten10th

I know its way too early but I cant wait till ya'll hear Blue Bird

Abs Mahamud

"3rd opening always sucks" meanwhile, in Black Clover

ElectricAnt

Yeah not a fan of this opening

Conner Simpkins

Man, I still don't get Nahid's hate for the third opening of MHA. I definitely like the song more than the first opening, and in terms of visuals, it's my favorite of the first three.

Subaru130

I need them to listen to Blue Bird now.

Gezno

I stayed up all night and morning just so I can watch the anime vids right when they come out but now I’m tired AF so ima be back after a nap 💀.

Will Cee

Dosu got a train rain on him... literally.

Zee

Lol u guys did not just compare jiriaya to mineta smh

Di

Not complaining but y do we have get a triple upload 😂🤷🏾‍♂️

Zuronicks

I know a lot of people hate on the intro, but it 's actually my personal favourite. Don't know, it just is. The only one that comes close is hero's Comeback.

olof

You can totally draw a sword from your back. It just can't be too long.

coffeemilk

I’m shocked you guys didn’t notice the little Easter egg in the intro, but yea, the opening itself is cool but the song isn’t as dope

Zee
