As a teenager and young adult i always mocked naruto because i only had a surface level understanding of what it was about and thought it was stupid. But at about 23 i had a real streak of bad luck and was the loneliest and most depressed i had ever been in my life. For some reason now unknown to me, i decided to pick up naruto. And after experiencing his journey, i can safely say with nearly a decade of hindsight that he cured my depression and inspired me to better myself. What a truly fantastic show.

[@dustinhatfield8373]

@@johnfischer_2 well you don't really have to think too deep about it to enjoy it honestly. I personally just really connected to Naruto's character. He was slighted at every possible chance by life and could very well have become a villain, but he rose above all the hatred and challenges in his life and went from being the person noone wanted around to being revered. There are several really good characters In the show besides him too, just about every villain he comes across isn't truly evil, they all have complicated pasts and motivations and sometimes that clashes with the protagonist point of view. For someone like me who was all alone when i watched the show and was dealing with depression watching naruto go through such similar struggles was inspiring. I hope that about covers it

[@nathanhosea489]

​@@dustinhatfield8373Heaven Sent is a contender for the greatest TV episode of all-time imo.

[@kadajj6717]

Itachi describes this perfectly in the scene after he gets reanimated and helps seal nagato. He tells Naruto that the reason he’s come this far and was able to obtain this much power was because of his comrades. He tells him that if he were to shoulder the burden all by himself he would become like madara. It’s crazy how much insight itachi had into Naruto’s character while barely knowing him

[@antonioacvr123]

Naruto is probably one of the most misread mangas ever. I don't know exactly why it happened, but I see so many narratives across viewers that are based on misinterpretations or straight up false informations of the story. And, to make things worse, most of these narratives kind of became a common sense. Thank you for reading this story with care and posting this. I hope more people realize that Naruto was a fantastic story that we, as a generation who grew up with it, should be very proud of.

[@mulenga777]

It's true because the community outside Naruto is toxic

[@dancorneanu9144]

@@mulenga777 The moment they insult you instead of debate or articulate their point, just.... don't... just don't bother. Like that guy in Plaque's comment section calling a guy a rapist that will go to jail for no other reason that he hates Naruto and had no answer to that guy explaining the plot.

[@731freeman]

I mean your not wrong, but he mostly does that through his voices natural charisma. He’s pointing out very obvious textually shit with flowery language and the fact that his natural voice sounds “smart”. It’s not bad work, I really like it btw, but it’s nothing special. People who sound like absolute basement goblins have been saying this shit for years, but because the tenor of their voice’s isn’t as charismatic they just get written off. Like I said, the points in this video have been made before, and have been made better, unless all you value is a charismatic and authoritative voice making it.

[@731freeman]

@@mulenga777 what does that mean, exactly? Please explain yourself, because the Naruto community is plenty toxic; like all fan communities at the end of the day

[@RanVor]

It boggles my mind how anyone can call themselves a fan of Naruto and yet dislike talk no jutsu when talk no jutsu is the whole point of Naruto. The series has many flaws for sure, but its themes of understanding and forgiveness are definitely the best thing about it.

[@monkeybone1080]

Quite possibly the best video I've seen on Naruto. While far too many on KZbin view and mock many moments in the series, you analysed them, connected them, and exposed how they're all one piece of a whole. I've been a fan of Naruto for more than half of my entire life, and you've really hit the nail on the head with exactly why this series can dominate such a large part of one's existence. I really hope this vid gets the exposure it richly deserves, and thanks for putting so much effort into it.

[@Mrjoshstaff2]

This needs millions of views

[@fig6459]

Whenever I’m feeling down, I sometimes gravitate towards Naruto for inspiration. At first, I could never articulate why I did this. Naruto is only a fictional character designed for entertainment. Those were my initial thoughts, at least. Until I discovered your videos. You helped me discover why Naruto is such an integral part of my life. I am 33 years old, and I have to say without a doubt, Naruto has changed my perspective of life and even saved it on numerous occasions. Whenever someone asks me who my idols are or who’s my favorite hero, my mind never wastes contemplation. For Naruto has been the only figure in my entire life, since childhood, that has shaped me into the astounding (and steadily growing) man that I am today. Again, your videos helps me realize why the character Naruto is so powerful. And why he will always rank number one on my list of one of the strongest influencers, best idol, and the greatest hero of all time above any human. Thank you

[@madra000]

he should have listned to madara but he became a hypocrite; tobi was a better outline but was discarded for kaguya. Damn shame.

[@obvilion2060]

There is not a lot good discourse around Naruto on the internet. I consider very few people to have made something that understands the series and I definitely couldn't make something like that myself. But holy shit, this video is one of the best one regarding discussion on Naruto. You've a great understanding of the themes of this series. And you connected them elegantly. I wish people would be able to see this instead of relying on the same tiring points, how "Naruto is mainly about hard work beating talent" and how it "abandoned its themes". Thanks for you good work, sir!

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

Yeah that's insane. Like... did people not watch Lee vs Gaara? "Fate will never smile upon one who seeks victory by falling on his own sword, or demanding his enemy fall on theirs". People are dumb as hell.

[@619RoyalFlush]

One of the, if not, the greatest story ever told, thank you for this analysis!

This video is reawakening my love for naruto thank you for this masterpiece, it’s nice to know there’s still people who really appreciate and love this story

[@rabbithaze9707]

After only watching the first 16 episodes as a kid (longer and different story) I finally watched Naruto front to back during COVID and really fell in love, after just seeing internet memes for year I was pleasantly surprised by how deep the series ended up being, and I love your videos for showing me the show was even deeper than I thought when watching it, thanks

[@adamsanders2270]

The way you clarify the Uchiha turmoil should be required listening. Much of the Naruto community hates Sasuke but loves Itachi, Obito, and Madara. The fact is that Sasuke is an awesome person and he is just as compelling as the other fallen heroes who get their redemption. I love Itachi, but it’s not a blind love that sees him as perfect. It’s for the reasons you describe. A broken man who hurt others, but found redemption!

[@chichichichilling4822]

Man I hope you're very proud of this video. It's an insanely impressive work of art you've produced here.

[@treacheroustiger5571]

This was a master piece. You really did the mangaka of Naruto proud with these videos. Put together like this you have made a beautiful documentary of what Naruto is all about, Well done!

[@a-kil5646]

I really think people who aren’t fans of this series and even people who are, should watch this video. Naruto is nowhere near a perfect series but its narrative and writing are arguably the most overlooked in the big three. You put together such a potent and powerful video about a series that’s more than a shonen battle manga, but a commentary and creative vision of human nature and I hope everyone finds, watch, comprehend, and understand this video at least once. Especially aspiring creatives.

[@SirTingII]

Why are you so good at this. Used to hate when people said naruto is bad because of “talk no Justu”. Happy somebody looked past that.

[@daahorse1652]

@@johnfischer_2I always assumed “talk no jutsu” was just a phrase used to sully the message of Naruto since usually the people who used the phrase “talk no jutsu” were people who actively refused to believe that Naruto wasn’t deep. I’m glad people are starting to realize how great this show is.

[@dontmisunderstand6041]

@@daahorse1652 "Talk no jutsu" is legit the primary message of the series. The core theme of the entire story is EMPATHY.

Nice, I’ve subscribed to you for amazing analysis. Where everyone just disrespects Naruto, you on the other hand respected and analysed Naruto philosophy. You gave respect to my favourite show. Which earned you my respect. When I watched Naruto I was at a dark place and alone, I didn’t see Naruto on the swing I saw myself. I had an outline of the world similar to Sasuke’s however Naruto changed for me.

[@hakaytypebeat7982]

I relate to this soo much I don’t even know what to say, there’s so much disrespect and hatred thrown at naruto it’s crazy, every time people treat it like just any other show it hurts me. I have SOO much love for every aspect of Naruto from the arcs to even the covers I just can’t get enough of this beautiful story

[@dancorneanu9144]

@@nozers Heck, Lee's initial idea was debunked in his side plot. We find out from Kakashi he is super talented at the Gates, when Kakashi can't open as many. He is able to use the Drunken Fist with no training. And he was so obsessed with "talent vs hard work" that he took it too far and showed of. In the forest, wanted to impress Sakura, used the Lotus and the Sound Ninja took advantage. In the Gaara fight, he never understood Gaara and crippled himself, when Gaara was able to escape his final move and he couldn't move afterwards. In a story, both characters need to conflict on an ideology. Gaara was a monster born out of hatred and love. A bio weapon created by the Sand that went out of control. He didn't care. Take Guy: he has an actual connection and point of conflict with his big guys: Kisame and Madara. His fights were much more than hard work vs talent.

[@MasterOFSuperFunny]

Hey Spicy, I just wanted to let you know that I have gotten many hours of enjoyment from this video. I've probably watched it from start to finish three or four times now. There was something about Naruto's story that I latched onto but I only understood it sub-consciously. You articulated the deep meaning of the story, giving me the words that I could use to explain why the story is so important. Although this video hasn't blown up yet, it still has had a great impact. I shed a tear after re-watching "Uchiha Obito: The Coolest Guy" and knew that I should thank you for the video. That was not the first time I cried watching this video and it wont be the last. To me, it is not just an analysis of my favourite anime, it is a guide to avoiding malevolence and understanding how some of the warmest (fictional) individuals became evil so I can avoid the pitfalls they stumbled into. It's also a hope-filled and beautiful reminder of the rewards for facing life's challenges and staying true to yourself. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for making this video a reality.

Obito is truly a tragic villain (goat). Madeira is also tragic but anywhere as tragic plot wise. He comes off as a badass homicidal maniac that was also manipulated but was so stubborn that it took him to die twice to accept that his best friend was truly correct. Madara is more of a philosophical point and not a drama type like Obito

By the end of shippuden her summon has six paths sage mode, and mastery over the kyubis power. One-eye jubidara was getting pressed by this version of her summon so she would demolish edo madara.

I wonder if this writing was accidental genius or if the whole thing was planned and Kishimoto has Shikamaru level iq

[@RandomPerson-le6xc]

Probably a mix of both. A lot of the ideas in this video were definitley intentional as they are directly brought up in the story, but some them aren't. But either way a lot of times themes manifest themeselves subconciously without the authors realizing it, so I think just limiting yourself to authorial intent is not the way to go. Stories are based on individual experience, not necesarily what the author intends.

Because Kishimoto respects his audience's intelligence too much. It's almost entirely subtext, and some people just struggle to understand when not told explicitly... some because they can't see it, and some because they refuse to accept the notion that subtext can exist in a story.
