Itachi VS Sasuke - Naruto (Original VS Shippuden) Comparison Side by Side

[@JaxBlade]

Prefer the original. Back when Itachi was portrayed as a pure villain, he looks so much more imposing & his eyes look more eerie, Shippuden version post knowing why he did what he did understandably lacks the intimidating Venom emanating like the original had.

[@vhamer123]

Heck yea JaxBlade. 🔥

[@mb3318]

Awesome to see you around

[@juliuuz_]

Well, the Shippuden version was made precisely with this objective in mind, to show Itachi's feelings and thoughts while everything was happening

[@JaxBlade]

@@juliuuz_ that’s why I mentioned why it understandably did that in my comment. Still prefer the Original look aesthetically personally

[@Vibrant133]

There's significantly less depth in digital animation

[@jasonsinn9237]

The original has way more intense expressions. I also prefer the lighting, like how chidori has that blue glow that underlights Sasuke's face. Everything feels much more immersive.

[@ilhamseptian1604]

The characters were hand drawing in the original, where sp is digital and they paint them instead coloring digitally

[@reyash4]

colours were better too.

[@fearedjames]

​@@ilhamseptian1604 colouring digitally is basically the same as by hand. Its just not wanting to bother.

[@dunnono00]

Man.... Itachi looked so much COLDER in the original. His Sharingan is darker, his expression void of all emotion. Like death incarnate.

I think like other person was whrite,original version was sasuke'vision and the remake trough the eyes of itachi by himself

[@metarex000]

Yeah thats the Itachi i fell in love with. Not that cheap rip-off. But Shippuden Itachi still got my heart too :3

[@supertrollfaxnoprinter3329]

[@yugimuto477]

Animator: We can take a break and just reuse the old stuff right? Boss: Nope you get to re-draw it all over again!

[@johnsmith-ck4qt]

They couldn't use the old stuff cause it was done in 4:3 ratio while shippuden switched to the 16:9 ratio around episode 80. Also episodes for shippuden are started to be rendered in higher resolution around that time. So yeah, they had to redraw a lot of scenes and most of them looked much worse. Drawing quality on average was better in the original, imo.

[@ceoChief09]

[@SWIFT_NINJA47]

Shippuden had smoother animation

[@fiveleft63]

It's because the animators had more love for their art in the beginning, it shows. Later it became more about the money so they take the easy and cheap route. Sadly, it happens alot with these shows that become popular. Just look at DBZ / DBS

[@squiddyword7224]

@@fiveleft63Dbs is not a good example of this. The animators had the passion and desire to do great but the model company (Toei) overworked the animators, forcing them to create weekly episodes repeatedly for 131 episodes.

[@nick-np1bb]

I do love shippuden but this scenes are much better in the original. Although, seeing thr difference in their expression one could argue that in the original you see it through the lenses of Sasuke and thats why Itachi is so cold-blooded and menacing while in Shippuden we see what actually happened and that's why we see Itachi's expression much softer.

[@voyager1568]

Did you not watch? He picks him up and slams him by his collar in the original. But he physically chokes him in shippuden. The original looks more violent, however shippuden is technically more cruel in that instance

[@quinnyknowsbest6292]

1:55 the shot of Itachi is absolutely terrifying in the original the piercing red eyes and the intimidating stare like dude looks like a real villain. In the remake he kinda looks only mildly irritated like if he were reading in the library and someone farted, not intimidating at all. Like someone said in another comment, I think it’s because back then we (including the anime staff at the time probably) all thought he really was this evil dude, and so was portrayed as such.

[@crucfx.]

shippudens remake was to kinda give more of itachi's side of the story about him not really being a villain as show here 6:36

[@Animaja001]

The animation comparison at 6:34 is interesting. In the original, there is a lot more weight and momentum in their jump, compared to shippuden where the movement is static, almost like they're flying. Frame timing is the main issue, here. (Frame timing is just how long the drawing is shown on-screen. ) In the original, frame timings varied depending on momentum, weight, etc. When they kicked off the water, drawings were only held for a single frame, conveying quick movement and a burst of speed. Then when they're in the air, moving into the distance, each frame lingers for 2 or even 3 frames, slowing down the action and easing out of the jump. Dynamic and beautiful. In shippuden, nearly all of the frames are held for 2 or 3 each regardless of context, which makes movement look awkward and floaty.

[@Mon_55]

Very interesting point! Maybe that's why I like the OG version. Even just small things like that can change the feel of a scene.

[@hustle5683]

Itachi's gaze in original 🥶🥶

[@pendora4182]

Itachi, he provided information indirectly to Jiraiya about Akatsuki's intentions towards the Jinchuuriki because of the Biju within them... Whether Jiraiya understands or not, at least we as readers and viewers know what he means...

[@a2134-i2n]

No he didnt 😂 jiraya he found out about akatsuki because he spied Orochimaru jiraya himself told Kakashi about it😂

[@TiagoDotDJ]

Jiraiya wasn't completely sure about the Akatsuki's true intentions, but Itachi was subliminally relaying Intel to Jiraiya as to let the village know the Akatsuki's number 1 target is the 9 tailed fox.

[@spectre4890]

At the time original was airing, kishimoto hadnt thought about itachi being an anti hero and he was actually a villain. Also in the original, itachi is drawn way more coldly and emotionless

[@asala1857]

That’s not true kishimoto never stated that , also the fact that Itachi spared kakashi’s life when based on kakashi words he could have killed him with tsukoyomi show that he was already written as a good guy, not mentioning that he also told kurenai and asuma that he didn’t want to kill them and the fact that he gave jiraya important confidential informations on the akatsuki goals and that purposefully avoid the fight with him when he could have beat him with kisame ( Itachi is above sannin level he easily beated orochimaru twice and kisame is perfect jinchuriki killer bee level) can also prove the point that he was already written as an anti hero or anti villain , he is clearly a grey character not purely white or black

[@AkatsukiClash]

@@asala1857I dont know man, the beating was enough. He didnt have to use mangekyo on Sasuke. But plot, I guess.

[@asala1857]

@@AkatsukiClash That’s why I said that he is a grey character, his objective are noble but the method he use are quite radicale , I mean he did put kakashi and sasuke in a coma but in the end he didn’t kill them when he was able to, also as an anbu member he did a lot of harsh things, and when he was accused of killing Shisui he was ready to kill the uchiha police members and even his father he was stopped in his anger by the sight and the words of young Sasuke. He was never implied to be a hero or a villain, he is an type of anti hero and anti villain and that is way more realistic behaviour for a ninja, a spy or a soldier to have than being juste purely good or bad.

[@-Otsutsuki-]

Originally, Kishimoto had planned on Itachi just being an evil person who gave Sasuke a reason to want to kill him. This soon changed, however, when Kishimoto decided to make Itachi a member of the ANBU Black Ops, a squad of covert assassins for the Hidden Leaf. He received more character development once shippuden started.

[@jonathancampbell5231]

He'd thought about it, but he hadn't revealed or committed to it yet. I read an interview where he said he conceived Itachi as an evil villain and he remained as such in the Land of Waves arc, but he started thinking it would be cool if Itachi had some ulterior motive and wasn't so bad when he actually introduced him properly (i.e. around about this arc here). But it's not until the fight in Part 2 and the aftermath with Tobitomadara that this is actually a part of the story proper- if he'd decided to keep Itachi evil, he easily could have.

[@HalfEatenBurrito971]

Itachi looks more menacing in the original 2:20 he looks emotionless, disappointed and seems more intimidating. He’s giving a coldstone and superior look. It looks like he will strike any moment and he knows it will be successful. But in shippuden he looks more emotional and expressive. It removes that villainous vibe. I think the original looks way better in my opinion. They depicted him incredible because he does look formidable in the original.

[@arcticwolf8150]

I think it's the soundtrack and not knowing about Itachi back then and plus the way Crispin Freeman voiced him made Itachi seem more like a serious threat

The remake has some sick shots at places though, like 1:23, 4:26, 9:59 or that angle at 6:08 is pretty good too. I think once enough time has passed, someone gonna pick up OG Naruto for a remake and if it's gonna be in seasons, I can't wait to see how they'll adapt many of the darker and gory elements of older Naruto with higher animation quality.

[@YoYoknots]

[@stvcherenfant]

[@Asaylum117]

I always liked the art style of the original Naruto anime, because it had a unique art style that makes darker moments feel and look actually dark. Something Shippuden seems like it has lost probably after the Pain arc I believe. Animation can leave a lot of impact on the viewer, especially it's art style.

[@jameschristopher2540]

Definitely after Pain arc. When Pain stood over Konoha there was a light shining on him making him look mysterious. They didn’t do that in the anniversary thing. It shows that things would change a lot now. Less ‘scary’ moments

Part 1 Naruto had the better art direction and style. Studio Pierrot decided to cut corners and simplify character designs and shapes for smoother animation in Shippuden.

[@RogerCassagnol]

1:58 kinda cool that in part 1 and in shippuden they still did the comparison that itachi is so much stronger still he still has 3 tomoe in this moment compared to sasuke who still has two tomoe...

[@MarioTheLiopleurodon]

While I do like that Shippuden had more consistent characters shot for shot, the original has better expressions and reaction shots. For example, Sasuke getting up to face Itachi after his wrist was broken while stumbling like a drunk was better in the original; Itachi slowly grabbing him by the neck looked a bit better in Shippuden, like a villain from a slasher movie. I honestly wish we got a "Naruto Kai" type series, that fully remade the entirety of Naruto (from Part 1 all the way to the end of Shippuden), with new animation and fixing a few plot holes. Something that would have the much more consistent animation shot for shot like modern anime (no weird-eye Naruto in the Forest of Death or play-dough Pain), while still keeping the extremely expressive reaction shots from Part 1. Itachi should be depicted as much colder and darker like Part 1, but with his Mangekyou present (like Shippuden) and his finalized character design (his hair got much longer). Similarly, older scenes would be redone to be congruent with how stuff is depicted later. For example, the tomoe in Kakashi's sharingan start spinning during his fight with Zabuza in the Land of Waves arc, whereas they never seem to do this in the rest of the series. Also when Orochimaru summons a giant snake in the forest of death, there's a large swirling tornado effect; summoning jutsu makes a poofy cloud of smoke when used in the rest of the series, *not* a tornado. As for plot holes, that really just comes up to tweaking some dialogue. If something doesn't make sense to say or gets contradicted later in the series, a lot of times characters don't even have to say it, so keep those characters quiet. For example: When Guru-guru dies and Yamato's body falls out of him, Hiruzen says "Yamato...?" but that doesn't make sence, since "Yamato" is a codename given to him by Tsunade *AFTER* Hiruzen died; it'd make more sense for Hiruzen to say "Tenzo...?" which is Yamato's actual name, and something Hiruzen *would* have known before dying. The same goes for Hashirama noting Sakura's abilities surpassing Tsunade. How would he know that? He died when she was a kid. Either Hashirama should've stayed quiet or somebody else (Hiruzen probably) should've made the comment. Obito's mangekyou is another one. Simple fix, just *don't* show his eye when he uses kamui. That way his MS being the same as Kakashi's isn't spoiled, but there's still no weird plot inconsistency with him using Kamui with his base Sharingan. Then just cut the filler, cut the flashbacks, give more relevant downtime arcs, give the side characters more screentime, have the side characters do more, etc. What I mean by the downtime arcs is: show the characters interacting day-to-day without progressing the plot, but not in a filler-y kinda way. Let the characters naturally interact, let the viewer get to know them as a person, etc. Show Team-7 going on more missions together (doesn't have to be too detailed) so that they're actually a bonded team; make them feel closer so that Sasuke's betrayal is more impactful. If you just watch the canon episodes, it feels like Team-7 forms, Land of Waves, then immediately goes to the Chunin Exams, then Sasuke leaves, all in like a month's time. That's way too fast, and the filler doesn't really do it any justice. Make them look a bit younger in the first couple of episodes (about 10 or 11) and older by the time they go to the Chunin exams (12 to 13), so we can see that time has passed and they've grown together as a team. Show Sasuke saving Karin in the Forest of Death. Show Team-7 being a TEAM, but in a way that doesn't feel like useless filler. Make it feel natural. Just one arc between Land of Waves and the Chunin Exams, showing either a couple of smaller missions or one big mission, maybe both, but either way it should bond Team-7 together by the time of the Exams, during which they should be closer. Like I said, Sasuke leaving the village should be painful, it should feel a lot bigger than it feels in the anime. I'm rewatching the series with my dad who hasn't seen it, and we're watching the canon episodes. Sasuke leaving is impactful but not as much as it should be. For Madara's death: he can still die and introduce Kaguya, but just make it be different. The Black Zetsu backstab is one of the most hated things in anime, and I *guarantee* that Kaguya would've been more liked if Madara wasn't backstabbed by Zetsu. Maybe make him sacrifice his own life to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, maybe have Naruto & Sasuke legitimately beat him and *then* Kaguya comes out, just something better than "idk how to kill him. Um...... RANDOM PLOT BULLSHIT GO!"

In the original itachis cloak actually covers his nose and he is squinting more which is cooler.on top of that he looks sharper

it was always nice to see Naruto caring about Sasuke, even if Sasuke's deal with Itachi should not have involved him... Itachi turned into an Akatsuki member and Naruto just so happened to become team members/close friends with Sasuke

I could never put my finger on it before, just had a subconscious preference for the OG. It's the artwork, it's significantly better. Thanks for making this vid!

Lol. He's just talking. Imagine thinking Itachi is a good guy while watching him grape Sasukes mind by throwing him in that hellish, seeing his clan and parents be butchered...and going, "wow Itachi was really good from the beginning." That's you.

Og hits different man🤧 my man Itachi looks hot as shiiiii

[@WdGDark]

This video is perfect for showing how Kishimoto changed Itachi's outcome. In the classic, we can clearly see that his facial expressions are completely different from those in Shippuden. I believe Itachi would be the main villain of the work, but Kishimoto said that he was his favorite character and changed the story in Shippuden a lot to change the outcome of this story.

[@ayhamahmad2277]

Itachi wasn't going to be the main villain anyway because obito and madara were already established obito named was mentioned server times and Itachi didn't kill kakasi and sasuke in part one

[@MaxIronsThird]

Sheet is always getting worse, little by little. 7:10 Even Itachi's monologue is changed now that we know he's a good guy, it makes no sense, what he thinks here wouldn't change, they had to prolong the scene and show MORE of what Itachi thinks, not changed it.

[@altsurf]

That's fantastic, we made a tribute with Itachi & other characters recently ❤

[@jbxgundam2872]

original is better for sure... the expression of saskues face when he does chidori and runs down the hall is just amazingly done. Also when itachi uppercuts saskue in the stomach the original looks alot better, thought you cant see the fist you can for sure see the impact and how strong it was.
