[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

Have you guys noticed...each person who read Jiraiya's book see the best version of themselves fighting what is perceived as their enemy at the time. For Naruto, he looked almost like Minato with a deeper voice and a Kakashi vest fighting a guy with a Akatsuki robe...For Nagato, he was in his Rain ninja clothes fighting a shinobi with both the armor of the Leaf and Stone...Minato saw, himself and the character he fought was similar to a Akatsuki but very random in mix...It gives you a glimpse of how he saw himself at the time ! He didn't feel he was against a precise enemy...it's fascinating really !

[@robertcampbell8070]

The Sage didn't teach them how to fight and murder though, Chris. He taught them how to harness water, fire, etc. People just used what he taught them to create fighting abilities. It would be like if aliens came and were like "here's how you create artificial gravity. Now you can explore the stars and colonize space." And we were like "thanks, if we bump this up a bit we can create a bomb that crushes other ships and even planets into dust. Thanks for the great weapon, guys!"

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

One of the case where the Pen...was mightier than the sword ! Considering all that Nagato lived and saw, the only thing that could have change his outlook on life at this point was never gonna be actions, but his own words ! To reminds him of what he was at a point and what he said..."If there is such a thing as peace, then somehow i'm gonna find it, but most importantly than how to achieve it, is the power to believe that it will happen".Pain is what sustained Nagato all his life, made him grow up in a way, but there is something that he forgot all this time that was also part of him...Hope and believe in oneself...

Jiraiya trained Minato first, then he met Ame Orphans (they are about 5 years older than Kakashi, and 5 years younger than Minato) trained them, and was inspired by Nagato to write Tale of Gutsy Ninja Minato decides to name his child after the main character, named Naruto, which was based on Nagato.

[@ComicCrossing]

It works so well too because of the similarity between the names of Nagato and Naruto. Its like Jiraiya was thinking "I based the book off him but I probably shouldnt give the character the same name." Then he was eating Ramen and it all clicked.

But I made this comment since they’ve remarked how they understand pain and have quoted to knowing 40%/90%, so with this being the end of the PAIN ARCH I’m saying they finally understand pain people can shut up about it. So quit being a kill joy and go fuck off. 😁🖕🏻

[@tgburn6984]

@Jonathan Jones why

[@lukasal91]

"Talk no Jutsu" is often seen as a way too easy deus ex machina just happening and changing everyones minds without any resistance, but their minds were barely any different from the start which made it possible. The only difference in their believes is that one gave them up and the other convinced him to regret doing it prematurely.

[@wwe12153]

Convinced him by some silly childish speech ,lol

[@fr4nk0h8]

​@@wwe12153 isn't just de speech lol. The point of this was show how someone who suffered pain was able to talk and forgive the one who caused that suffering. Nagato thought Naruto would kill and hate him, and that would just confirm the idea that people can't undertand each other, what would give the reason to Nagato, but Naruto just show him that still exist people who decide to talk and brak the cycle of hatred. Nagato always was open to other options. tha's why he asked Naruto of his answer to bring peace, but since Naruto didn't have an answer, to him the only way to bring peace was his metods. Naruto show him that even if there's no a concret answer, people actually can undertand each other, and that bring him the older version of peace he forgot, since that idea of peace was the one that inspired Naruto. Thats makes Nagato reflect himself in Naruto.

[@sammykent5752]

The flaw with this is that it's EXTREMELY idealistic. Which is fine if that's not a problem for you to accept, but honestly it's just way too simplistic a conclusion to what is actually a very deep and profound issue.

[@lukasal91]

@@sammykent5752 While those are real topics that don't have any clean and easy answers to them and historically suggest nagato to be right, it was that "easy" because they don't really disagree on any of those complex topics. Nagato wasn't "wrong" in looking for different solutions, but he still regrets having to heavily compromise on his hope which makes a "you could've tried a little more" hit, because it's not wrong either especially with naruto infront of him who does "try a little more". Also in character for the one that got to his solution through compromise to compromise.

[@sammykent5752]

@@lukasal91 The problem is that his hopes and dreams were simplistic and childish. He's seen the REAL world and it's a lot more complex than idealisms. The main reason this shouldn't/wouldn't really work the way it did is precisely because Nagato isn't a child anymore. Simply saying "you should've tried more" doesn't really mean much and it's not nearly enough to transform a person's entire outlook, especially a person that's being through a lot like Nagato. He abandoned his original outlook for a reason, because he put it to the test and saw it didn't work. He's had decades to see it fail vs Naruto's speech where he doesn't really say anything other than "My Name is Naruto and I can do it".

I think many people don't actually understand why Naruto was able to TNJ Nagato. Nagato's entire ideology was based around the cycle of hatred. That if you hurt someone, they will hurt you. So when, even after all the pain Nagato had caused him, Naruto refused to kill him, he crumbled Nagato's entire ideology. Seeing Naruto break the cycle of hatred was what made Nagato believe in him.

[@wangshiyao]

Yeah. It's not plain talk no jutsu.

[@sammykent5752]

Nagato isn't a child

[@ssppooppcristi6734]

the rest of the world is not naruto , if nagato thought that if naruto decided to not get revenge and if that is possible it means peace can be achieved through peacefull ways and that people will be as naruto .... its just dumb ... naruto is just one person that he meet minutes ago , naruto didnt give him any plan to how he can bring peace , he just told him he belives in jirayas dream that one day people will understand each other and that he will do everything he can to make it happen ( its beautifull and everything but again where is the damn plan to how ? hoping will do nothing , in real life the power of friendship will never work , people with such a idealistic thinking like naruto will be only a few ) people call talk no jutsu bad cause it makes bad people who had a view on the world just change it entirely in seconds , naruto did not tell him anything relevant ( nagato asked a answer for how to bring peace ) a methode of how to bring it , doing everything to achieve it its not a methode everyone does everything to achieve their goals and in naruto all had the goal peace , madaras plan is a methode , nagatos plan is a methode , sasukes plan is a methode of how to bring peace , naruto was literally like a politician , which avoids to answer the real question because he is to dumb to think for one or that he stil has no answer ....

[@1Piece322]

@@ssppooppcristi6734 Let me ask you then, do you have the answer for "peace"? Realistically speaking there is no one real answer to achieve peace, that's why Naruto's answer was perfect at that moment. Madara, Nagato and Sasuke are all extremists like ISIS who uses brute force to follow their own ideology and having a "method" doesn't exactly make them right or any better than Naruto. He's not a politician for he did not avoid the question, he genuinely didn't have the answer just YET. In the end Naruto and Sasuke's rise to power brought peace to the nations, the morality of who holds the greatest power will ultimately decide whether or not the world will be plunge into chaos or enjoy great peace. P.S. Chill tf out, it's just anime. As unrealistic as the show may have gotten in ultimately achieving "peace" through Naruto's character, you should remember that this was still written by one man and not a God who knows what true peace is all about. That's all dude.

Yeah it’s really the only major bad thing about this arc, though from what I know it was Kishimoto’s editors decision more than his. Apparently too many big characters had died for his taste and so he wanted some of them to come back so Kishimoto said “rinnerebirth”

[@wangshiyao]

Think most people here don't understand this: The name 'naruto' didn't just come 'nagato' because it sounds similar. At 7:37 Jiraya was looking into his ramen bowl and saw the narutomaki (the swirly fishcake that's also the background of the show's logo), which then, with the combination of nagato's name, gave rise to the idea of 'naruto'. In fact, kishimoto initially thought of making this into a story about ramen!

12:04 I like to think of it as this way, We saw some of the many people that had interacted with Jiraiya on his journey. They all had something in common, they either talked about peace or denied its possibility. One way or another they must have stumbled upon this new group called Akatsuki, so their fate brought them here. And they judging Jiraiya as pain was Jiraiya's fate.

[@villainthehero]

About Naruto philosophy class: The show is ultimately about how Japanese people reacted to world war 2. Pain destroying Konoha = atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Senju/Uzumaki vs Uchiha = Buddhism vs Shintoism. Nagato's and Hashirama's jutsus are all inspired from Buddhism, while Uchiha's mangekyo jutsus are all inspired from Shinto gods (Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Susanoo, etc.) Buddhism was separated from Shintoism and started being persecuted during early Meiji: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haibutsu_kishaku Shintoism then reigned ascendant until world war 2: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Shinto Naruto the show is ultimately about a dialogue between Buddhism and Shintoism in how to achieve peace, triggered after the destruction brought by WW2. The show leans toward Buddhism, but they don't make it very black-and-white. Nagato's Pain is the dark side of Buddhism, while Uchiha's love for their brothers are the light side of Shintoism. A philosophy class around this show would have to dig deep into the history of Japan and Shinto/Buddhist thoughts

Boruto also tries to insinuate that this peace is short lived and is only existent because everyone fears Naruto and Sasuke’s power. Without the generation that fought in the war who know Naruto, the world will eventually come back to looking at tailed beasts as weapons and peace as only partly beneficial. There is even poverty inside the villages because of how overpopulated they’ve becomes and how the economy has stemmed into a capitalist power which means some people will be stepped over. Poverty is especially even bigger outside of the 5 great ninja villages. Also, the Hidden Rain is not a part of the 5 great villages. It’s the Sand, Leaf, Mist, Cloud, Stone.

Sage of Six Paths created ninshu as a means for communication and "showing your true self". People just turned it into ninjutsu because it could also do that.

[@seekerxiii]

People say the talk no Jutsu is very Deus ex Machina and too idealistic a method, but honestly, if our leaders just talk no jutsued and attempted to understand each other - maybe the world would be a much more different place than it is right now. We need to just talk - on equal levels.

[@aviencloud4239]

I do believe peace is possible, though I think it depends on what the person believes peace is. For me, peace is living in a state where normal life has a higher probability of occurring than not.

While this shouldn't be used too often, at the risk of getting too easy, I think it works anyway.

I think this is really the type of TALK NO JUSTU that I can accept this time around, given the development of Naruto's response.

The Akatsuki was originally an organization created to bring about peace. Naruto succeeded in bringing Nagato onto his side for the sake of believing in the peace he can offer is perfectly aligned with his character.

Nagato had acute stress disorder which seemed to lead to PTSD, it can lead to a changed perception of reality and make otherwise good people go pretty wacko until they handled the feelings of whatever caused it, while believing they are above everyone else in awareness Sometimes getting the chance to truly talk it out(the trauma) to some1 that genuinely wants to listen to the entire story can get people to snap out of it, might´ve been the case for Naruto and Nagato there Nagato was even trying to provoke Naruto into attacking him to "prove a point"

[@erenyeager5288]

To be honest, has talk-no-jutsu ever worked before Naruto has proved himself? It's not just a talk, it's more about showing how strong your resolve is, and then instead of forcing your viewpoint on the loser, you try to understand them instead of judging them. I can see why this speech connected to Nagato in particular, and it surely would not have worked for any other character (e.g., Konan didn't get it). At least, Nagato's own forgotten words from the past was enough to make him realise that how it all started, and what the idea actually was, to convince him that his current way is definitely not the right one.

[@ghostspider2056]

I wonder if they noticed that Nagato has the same voice as Edward Elric and the villain in the novel is also voice by Ling Yao from Fullmetal Alchemists.

Minato named his son after the protagonist of the books of his master Jiraiya who named him after Nagato. So, Nagato was the inspiration for Naruto's name.

[@animagamer2]

Micky, I know you may not get it, but how you felt during the Naruto and Pain conversation is how us veteran anime watchers felt during Subaru and Rem's conversation in Re:Zero. None of it was wasted. Every line had meaning. It was a total deconstruction of Subaru's character and the archetypes he represented. Honestly, I said this to myself the instant I saw episode one on the channel "They're not ready for this", but I think that's okay. Everyone has anime like that along their path. So even if you can't appreciate Re:Zero, I'm sure you'll find an anime someday with a story that resonates with you in a way similar to how Subaru's resonates with us. But beyond that, *this* conversation is truly iconic. It's where you start to realize just how deep anime can be, even as a 14-year-old kid.

The Big 3 will forever be: Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. Dragon Ball (specifically the "Z" portion) was apart of the 90s Trio: Dragon Ball Z, Hunter Hunter, and Slam Dunk

Simplicity is best even if it seems childish... Like if the hero in book change....

I love Nahid's reactions😂

Then Naruto never even confirmed how hidden rain village or konan is doing let alone keeping the peace alive.

[@Youngblood-Pirates]

Imagine we go back to the Rain Village only to find it’s still a war-torn country in Boruto.

What if Nagato gave naruto the Rennegan? Imagine how powerful he would have become.

“Shizune too right?” “Fuck Shizune!” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

And Naruto literally never finds a good answer for breaking this curse. Tbh, pain was just to real for an anime. It literally parallels real life and there IS no quick fix. You can only hope humanity progressively becomes better through advancements in science and other fields of research.

Kazumba? You mean Zumba? Pretty famous type of dancing in latin america yes

[@jaegerzero9252]

Naruto had Nagato to teach him about "Pain". Nagato didn't have anyone to teach him about "Pain". Senpai looking out for his kohai. Yep

[@eastsidereviews727]

These two episode are just outstanding and I get emotional watching them. We see the Pain but was also see the belief and hope in the future. Nagato is a tragic character, he could never get past the trauma that he endured, so he brought it to others and eventually ended up ruining his life. There is a lesson in that, you have to learn how to let pain go and move on; you don't have to forget or even forgive who might have caused it, but you have to look within yourself and be able to live your life and not that that pain define who you are.

Defcon 1 - Send out the diplomacy kid

[@cydra_infinity1423]

If I have this right. The reason why Pain trusted Naruto is because Naruto proved he wouldn’t go for revenge even after his sensei died.

[@BloodyGir7]

If you dont have a significant reason to kill a character in terms of storytelling that's sh*tty writting. Naruto did something significant here, bringing the people back makes sense to me. Absolute peace is not possible but when you actually talk and communicate it can be what's the closest to peace and the right thing to do so I think that was the reward

[@stephengonzalez1801]

The only thing that bugs me about Nagato bringing everyone back is that it undercuts Tsunade's sacrifice to protect everyone. I think it's fairly easy to fix with a few lines of dialogue. Have Nagato or Konan mention that he only has the strength to resurrect so many people, so if any more villagers had died, he wouldn't have been able to pull it off. That would preserve Tsunade's sacrifice.

[@stevetherush1193]

Ultimately, Nagato was fighting his own ninja way, and Jiraiya was fighting to keep that way alive. Theres nothing more shocking than realising you were fighting yourself all along And then Naruto challenged him as a mere villain who had given up on true peace because the path got difficult, not a god who could seize it. Pain had no answer to that other than his own fear of "Life changes people", infront of Naruto's idea that "People change lives" This was sooooooo good

[@aviencloud4239]

Aaaand, Naruto never rebuilt the rain village… sorry, nagato, like obito said, u entrusted ur future to a kid with just talk

[@stevetherush1193]

@@aviencloud4239 1}Naruto wasn't just talk, he saved the entire world from subjugation... 2)The rain didn't need rebuilding, it just needed the great nations to stop misusing it...that was Nagato's beef. it was a fully functioning village by the time Pain was leading the Akatsuki 3), Nagato never entrusted the rain to Naruto, he entrusted the search for peace with his originally peaceful method...what anime were you watching????
