[@eddiejoewalt7746]

top 20 shows that were effected by the 2007-08 WGA STRIKE!

[@HarshAuraKing]

You missed the Naruhina marriage

[@chaoticknight9520]

I think madara’s 25 clone susano’o should’ve had a spot in place of obito’s face reveal or team 7 passing the bell test, and either the c5 bomb from deidara when fighting gaara or one of several moments in the deidara/sasuke fight

[@brokenbridge6316]

Great video

[@Dreking20]

When bleach anime finishes we need a video for the bleach fans🔥

[@thelonelion]

The scene where naruto and sasuke hit the water containers and sasuke sees how far naruto has come deserves to be on this list

[@ALEC1792]

I agree

[@doroh2328]

100%!

[@zjpdarkblaze]

number 1 in this list doesnt even deserve to be in number 1... the chidori vs rasengan should be number 1...

[@mikeywilbrink3618]

same goes for Rock Lee fighting the bone guy completely drunk.

[@maritzaguadarrama9975]

Also after Naruto defeats pain and is cheered on by the whole village 🥹 makes me cry every time bc of how hard he worked to get there

[@joshuamohlman]

This was one of the first anime I watched to completion. It took awhile, but it was so worth it

[@ironlordcayde3888]

I watched to completion, every episode. . . I mean, what he said

[@jdennis867]

Idk about u but part 1 was amazing but shippuden is filled with flashbacks and fillers which I didn't enjoy all that much.

[@unifiedgaming4526]

​@@jdennis867 I know. Like I didn't mind the filler too much when it was in between arcs but then they just started putting random filler episodes in the middle of when the war arc was ramping up completely chopping up the flow of the story so I just skipped the filler. There were other examples too but that was just what I remember bothering me the most

[@felixsaldana6705]

@@jdennis867 you actually watched the fillers😳

[@jdennis867]

@felixsaldana6705 fillers is not a problem if u binge watch the show from start to finish and u can just skip the fillers.. but how about the ppl that watched it weekly when it was new?

[@livvyb3583]

My favorite anime of all time. So many iconic moments, great list. Naruto appearing in sage mode after Pain destroys Konoha is well deserved at number one and him sensing Kakashi was no longer there was emotional to me, especially after he already lost Jiraiya!

[@teboho_26]

"This world shall know Pain" was a truly iconic moment too.. And oh boy did the soundtrack hit hard at times, it alone made men cry

[@rohanbalan7]

I have never cried more shamelessly than when naruto says goodbye to his mom.. and i am proud of it.

[@davidortiz-bw7un]

“But in this moment he starts to become the Hero in his village just as he always dreamed” that hits so hard 🥺❤️

[@dudeman-kg1lk]

im stroking it to this comment right now

[@awetauhid]

Honorable mention Naruto last messages to his dad before reanimation ran off

[@karanjagga07]

ye that was sad but a good scene

[@josebustamante9182]

and gaara's speech at the assembly of the shinobi alliance

[@antwan2wavy688]

That scene and when minato comes and sends ten tails attack into the water should have been on here

[@Surajpatra111]

The whole last arc has multiple epic scenes.

[@adhie9450]

The night guy scene always gave me a goosebumps all the time.

[@george_hatake_tulio]

Cannot understand how it's not on that list....

[@kerrmob]

the whole series is my comfort show. it’s criminally underrated

[@shikayouppi9104]

How is the most popular anime underrated ? What are you talking about

[@moonempire2821]

​@@shikayouppi9104 it's the most popular 😂 how is it underrated?

[@andrasback6043]

underrated by who?

[@somdeepchakraborty5119]

Tobi's Voice change as soon as he heard about Itachi's death is one of the most iconic moments for me.

[@WallabeeBe4tles]

He was glad to finally let go of the Tobi persona

[@baller6016]

Rock Lee dropping the weights really made me think ankle weights could give me that much strength lmao

[@carloslizardi8079]

lol same

[@MisterReapZz]

I still think Madaras introduction to the great war was the most iconic moment in Naruto/Shippuden

[@zirconescalus]

can agree with this

[@nengenusta6522]

Definitely, it's was next level

[@IplayTeemoasaWard]

If I had a nickel for every AMV of that scene with a Speedmetal or Linkin Park soundtrack I'd be a billionaire

[@TheRealWoopSlap]

All these years later & I still can't get over how Madara dropped 2 meteors on the Shinobi Alliance & treated it as a warmup

[@jasmeet_619]

that name was so hyped during the show, and when MADARA actually showed up, he lived up to the hype, he lived up to his name.

[@TheAllanmeadows]

I would also have put Kakashi vs Obito inside his dimension on the list. One of the best choreographed fights in the series. Easily inside the top 5 alongside Lee vs Gaara and Naruto vs Sasuke in their final fight. Also, Hinata's declaration of her feelings and then almost death at the hands of Pain. Could easily make a top 20. Iconic one of the "big three" Shonen anime.

[@hemendyran2809]

Night Guy is always number 1 for me. My Fav sensei at his prime

[@pepsicraver7010]

F for Neji not even making the list.

[@kzarkage]

Kishimoto really had no idea what to do with Rock Lee after giving him one of the best story arcs in anime history Such a shame

[@dragonfirenetwork4554]

Thank you Toonami for introducing this legendary anime

[@adamsanders2270]

The fact that this list feels wildly incomplete only speaks to how many amazing moments are in this series!

[@moh.sohailkhan11]

That genjutsu moment of Itachi in itachi vs sasuke where he pointed fingers on himself. Thats was most iconic genjutsu.

[@pabloescobar4855]

That’s the most iconic scene of Naruto

[@LieberGangster155]

truee goosebumps!!!

[@makmurarafat4107]

Itachi,the plot twist maker of plot plot plot plot twist

[@piercepatterson9274]

The "one thousand years of death" had me rolling laughing.

[@jasmeet_619]

1000 years of death 😂😂😂😂

[@SoulKingKurosaki]

So many great moments that defined such a great series

[@brettgarvey1129]

Just finished the show today, loved it so much

[@casper191985]

You should watch Boruto

[@mitchxnxtx]

Congratulation

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

I know people give WatchMojo a hard time sometimes cause of your lists, but seriously, Ash. Thanks for keeping these moments alive. You can tell that you're actually a fan of Naruto when you do these lists, and aren't just reading a script.

[@jackskellington9442]

You sure he's not reading a script? He pronounces Obito super strange for someone who is a fan.

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

@@jackskellington9442 pronouncing names weird doesn't mean that they aren't fans. NCHammer 23, one of the biggest naruto youtubers, pronounces almost every name weird. Some people just pronounce things differently according to their atmosphere, accent and other factors. How I know that Ash likes Naruto is because he continues to add obscure references to these lists that someone who's just reading a script wouldn't care about. Plus just check his socials if you're that jaded lol.

[@WiredLain_]

NCHammer 23 is a loser, he has some of the worst takes i’ve seen. in my life. He said anyone who doesn’t like Sakura just an incel who hates all women.

[@rayhernandez2162]

Episode 1 when he uses the multi clones to save iruka.

[@tarunbanala7633]

For me, it is the moment that Naruto returns after defeating Pain when everyone lifts him up. The first scene of recognition of Naruto by the entire leaf village.

[@Dempo.]

Minato hitting obito the Rasengan when they meet for the first time should be in the top 20

[@Redpanda1214]

The fight scene and the emotion in this show was amazing one of my favorite anime.

[@princenoob10]

I almost cried when iruka starting to tears

[@bryanaviles1906]

hinata almost dying bc of pain and naruto’s eyes exploding has to be my favorite 10 minutes in the whole show

[@droldan12345]

A few scenes I would add, Kakashi and Obito fight, Rin’s death, Obito’s actual death, Tobirama kills Madara’s brother and when Kakashi sees Minato in Naruto’s transformation and says “Sensei!?” Gives me goosebumps!!!

[@kiddabenzgohard8414]

NARUTO IS THE BEST ANIME OF ALL TIME 💯

[@dova3162]

Been watching this series for 15 years, I'm 25 years old and it's still amazing💯🔥🔥🔥

[@jayfinn4569]

Thank you for doing this with the original Japanese audio

[@siliguritraveller]

Watching the video and crying..true naruto fans will understand ❤️❤️

[@animeluvr6]

Yo, good list! So many moments in this great anime though.

[@xdrolo19]

#1 will forever be one of the greatest moments in anime history i jumped out of my seat when i first saw this

[@user-ov1dy5st5r]

Naruto’s speech to Zabuza is my favourite to the day.

[@ninogold8173]

Another iconic moment is when lee is not even conscious and still stands up to fight that was gold

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing watch mojo of naruto best moments in the franchise ever,fantastic job.

[@isaiahach]

i got my girlfriend into Naruto. she used to playfully/jokingly bug me about watching it so i told her all about it without revealing any of the spoilers. i asked her to give it a chance like i do with the things she enjoys. she thought that was fair and said ok so we binged Naruto and Naruto shippuden and skipped all of the filler in between and caught up to where i left off. from then on we watched every new episode together. i let her know that it was ok to binge episodes without me if i wasn't around except for the episodes that have a big reveal/moment because i wanted to see her reaction to them. we grew closer from doing that for one another. we didn't make fun of each others music, tv shows or movies that we didn't like. we tolerated it like adults. we kept our words to ourselves and let one another enjoy whatever it is we're doing

[@azymondiaskingofthedragons2897]

One of my Top 3 favorite anime of all time. The fights, comedy and lessons are just too great for any anime fan to resist

[@Nokard]

Iconic indeed, I love Naruto and props to you for putting the original and not dub, I couldn't watch the video otherwise 😅, thank you!

[@clarelwc2849]

Such a great series!! Fab list

[@xArbiter279]

The best anime for sure. Teaches you so much too!

[@JustAsh001]

One of the best for sure but if you consider it the best then it's also cool because its amazing no doubt

[@janmilescastillo5937]

Naruto holds a special place in my heart. One of the best things that shaped my childhood.

[@jackreaper2890]

Just another observation about team 7 reuniting in the war is that each of them are students of the Legendary Sanin (Naruto/Jariah, Sakura/Tsunade, Sasuke/Orochimaru). It is also like the Legendary Sanin coming back together in spirit.

[@megumie0ka]

Thank you for keeping the original audio. It will always be more emotional than the English dub

[@JayanthMD]

I can proudly say Naruto is my first anime, Naruto made me watch another anime series.

[@franzirijillo2384]

When the 4 previous Hokage are reanimated That's an Iconic moment right there

[@wesleyreintjes8248]

one of the best story line s. this vid makes me wanna rewatch naruto

[@itzzfang7076]

Definitely should've added the moment when Naruto and Sasuke get their Sage of Six Paths power and declare that Madara's time has come

[@TheBugsBunny24]

A few possible honourable mentions: - Kaguya’s appearance - Third Hokage’s Funeral - Itachi’s quote “No matter what I will love you always!” hugging Sasuke after ending Edo-Tensei - Naruto vs. Gaara - Naruto summoning Gamabunta for the first time - Natuto using Shadow Clones during the fight with Mizuki - Kakashi lifts Sasuke’s curse and threatens Orochimaru

[@ashleeramey]

I think the most iconic moments is when Naruto married Hinata and achieved his dream of becoming Hokage!❤

[@draculemihawk8844]

Starting to think Watchmojo just makes the same lists over and over again and slightly rewords the titles cuz there's no way there hasn't been a top iconic Naruto moments list yet.

[@flockione9767]

sasuke learning the truth bout itachi should be on list that was a pivotal moment for me

[@Tania-d]

Enjoyed this 10/10

[@d3d3d3vulpus9]

God the music in Naruto was soooo good. Shippuden's music was lack luster.

[@arilumani6194]

Excuse me, but the music in Shippuden is equally great as the orchestras help sell out bigger scope and higher stakes of Part II. Hell, some of my favorite tracks are from Shippuden. It has more than just orchestra though, as it has rock music fused with japanese instruments just like the original series and all this thanks to the composer Yasuharu Takanashi. They even brought him back to compose music for Boruto. Sure, Takanashi might not be Toshio Masuda but his music talent still deserves equal praise just like Norihito Sumitomo in his work on Dragon Ball Super.

[@d3d3d3vulpus9]

​@@arilumani6194 that's your opinion. This video reminded me of my love for the original soundtrack. I'm also a metal head. So in my opinion. The original series had the best music. It emphasized the mood better.

[@deguzzie9000]

I know there was already the legendary sannin team 7 reunion on here, but the first reunion they had after the 2.5 yrs needs to be on this list. The excitement from the trailers for shippuden was so much and then when they finally aired it .. such an iconic moment.

[@rasionalkan8195]

The Naruto meet Kushina, when the scene show up, i almost cry. Yeah, when i saw it in the anime, i cry a lot

[@HMBRTOABLE]

Naruto unleashing nine tails was pretty insane. It was the first time he’d ever reach that many tails. He never got to 6 up until then, but that scene was crazy!

[@2Shottis]

Pain's full power Almighty push is an honorable mention I guess and also Minato's Rasengan vs Obito.

[@ginyang]

After this video I had to watch Natuto meeting his Mom again… I cried. I cried for all the suffer, pain, and loneliness Naruto had to endure and the long way that he has come

[@rasionalkan8195]

Yeah, even when i see it in this list, my eyes get wet

[@adampearson2975]

I’ll always say Zabuza was the most impactful villain in the whole series

[@carloslizardi8079]

Agree because he was the 1st bad ass main villain we are introduced to that gets us hooked😅and then the way he goes out is Top G!!!

[@carloslizardi8079]

This makes me want to go back down the path and rewatch the Whole Series including fillers and manga!!!!

[@AYER-]

“i will love you always” deserves to be in the list

[@adariusgallon7186]

Naruto is one of them ones that’ll rly have you crying

[@bacik847]

Great list, I would add Hinata finally confessing her love

[@nengenusta6522]

Naruto and sasukes dialogue and fight at the rooftop after sasuke left the hospital i would argue should be top 3 impactfull moments, it was huge for the story as a whole

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

good video

[@peterparter69]

Nothing hits harder than Jariyas death. It still haunts me

[@Raiden7284677]

Mine was when Black Zetsu betrayed Madara and showed that he worked for Kaguya the whole time. Just felt like such an impactful moment and awesome when he said, “You’re not the savior, and this is only the beginning!” and “My will is…Kaguya’s!”

[@tiagoteixeira9540]

The scene of the farewell between naruto and minato after the war coul also be here. Such an emotional moment

[@JamesStPatrick_]

We need a part 2 😭

[@Kobra6510]

That reverse harem jutsu was hilarious!

[@ricovdcafda]

even now listening to you explain narutos request to Iruka brought me to tears (all the way in 2024)

[@mbuszka5295]

Shame, that *Sasuke giving up(as he at time was sure, he'll die) his life mission to save Naruto's life* , which ended with Uzumaki waking Kyuubi FIRST TIME didn't made it on a list. 🦊

[@KennyMcGavin]

Say what you want about the overwhelming length and poor pacing of this anime, but if there's something that it always nails, it's the scenes that hits you in the feels like an arrow. The soundtrack and voice actors always made every emotional scene come alive

[@c0dakw0lfgaang48]

Yeah those right in the feels moments of this anime are enough to make even a grown ass man cry.

[@elgusaniiiodeljuego6823]

And besides, Naruto is one of the last anime true heroes. More and more often I’m finding shows where the main character is a damn psycho you can’t relate to unless you’re an angry teenager with issues (Eren, Yujiro and Bernkastel just to name a few).

[@atcera8714]

If you think Naruto has poor pacing, you must not have seen One Piece yet

[@KennyMcGavin]

@@atcera8714 I have absolutely seen One Piece and I know it's far worse, but that doesn't automatically make Naruto's pacing good

[@blueboi3229]

Where is Might guy vs Madara. Most epic sequence.

[@bazza1024]

Thank you so much for using subbed, dubbed does not carry the same emotional weight and energy as subbed!

[@ebreeze242]

Id argue naruto's farewell to minato should be #1

[@andrijadikic5241]

8 gates on Madara is iconic

[@jimmyclimer594]

I can still watch the pain fights over and over again.

[@kukit10k]

Sasuke standing upside down the five kage at the summit is also an honourable mention

[@highguy1566]

Swear y’all did this already

[@partofthetribe3277]

Naruto meeting his mom made me cry like a baby

[@partofthetribe3277]

So did night guy.

[@partofthetribe3277]

So did Naruto giving Sasuke his headband back....

[@partofthetribe3277]

So did Itachi and Sasuke...

[@partofthetribe3277]

I cried a lot....

[@sinuouswinter0]

Sasuke's bowling ball incident Pains derpy bleeding effect and Kakashi's "Everyone you're talking about, have already been killed."

[@patrickperry7157]

I like it.

[@teddkarma8270]

Sexy jutsu is the strongest jutsu. So thats why naruto the creator of jutsu is proven strongest shinobi ever😅

[@rafarafa646]

"Would you like these clones to use Susano'o or not?" legen wait for it... DARY come on guys

[@callmetae6627]

Naruto using Shadow Clones for the first time should've at least gotten an honorable mention

[@that_izzy]

just went through Naruto and Naruto shippuden.. starting boruto 🥰

[@thebestfrom361]

Before the video even started I knew that Naruto arrving to fight pain would be number 1

[@countlesscakes3898]

My favorite is when itachi tricks him while he sitting in a throne

[@SreehariS-qh2fr]

dude the might guy one deserves to be in the top 5

[@mosaiaholiver6676]

So Mojo might as well make their own Anime channel like how they did with video games

[@AvaneeshMallavarapu-fy3lv]

man i just need the moments

[@elborrego1118]

I first watched this show on Toonami when I was 10. One of the few shows I’ve ever watched to completion. The other is dragon ball z

[@sho_freak_]

This series made me change my point of view about who the king is in chess.
