The highlights from my final
#NARUTO
Retrospective/Analysis. The full video is unlisted, but these are the only segments worth watching. Share this with someone who loves or hates Naruto!
@JPeterGod
Sanji having conquerors would be character assassination of the highest degree. He's not a man who wants to be king of anything, unlike his biological father. He wants to cook for the hungry, like Zeff.
If we liken Ichigo's journey to rain, the start of FullBring represents an ever-present cloudy sky. No rain falls, but the sun is blocked by a perpetual gray veil. An elongated melancholy stuck between hope and despair. This ending captures this sentiment perfectly.
#BLEACH
A Quincy shadow mimicking the power of a soul reaper, and showing its true form with their signature desperation technique. I love Bleach, dude...
#BLEACH
He might’ve eventually stopped looking for his mother, but he carries that same feeling with him when he loses sight of things only he can see. It’s ironic he talks of fate, because he’s never merely a human observer. He’s fated to battle the division within himself.

@Aleczandxr
While I know you are taking what they say with a massive grain of salt, believe me when I say I'm almost certain your love for this story will increase exponentially more by the end. People who hate the final stretch of Naruto generally misunderstand its messaging.
@LocalW_
Inconsistent theming? And there’s loads more about this thread that I just see as you missing what I believe is blatantly there. Would you be willing to have a discussion with me on one of my streams?
Videos like mine haven’t spread enough to come close to repairing the damage caused by one troll. He made a single video over half a decade ago that so many have internalized and allowed it to gaslight the western community—deferring to it rather than the story’s actual messaging

Is a reincarnation of a Demi god and was Literally prophesied by gamamaru/the only diviner. Naruto really collapsed on itself of its first established theme which is “hard work beats talent”. Don’t get me started on its second fold of attempting to be political like one piece
This is the strongest case for why I should never fully retire from making YouTube content. Media comprehension is almost as important as the media itself.
TV Tokyo took down one of the greatest
#Naruto
videos I'll ever make. It's sad this can happen without any fair consideration. I work too hard on my content to have it treated like this.
@Bankaiwave
@pirateking056
I'm so glad Oda doesn't take fan recommendations for his writing. That scene was one of Sanji's greatest moments in the series.
@LookAtMyMeat1
We haven’t seen the state of the rain in Boruto manga canon. Plus, the main plague they endured was getting constantly thrown into the crossfire of wars between the great nations. Now that they've been at peace with each other for so long, the rain’s biggest problem is gone.
Denji leans into the action, but is compromised mentally, while Asa is compromised physically. They both are getting assaulted in this moment, and it’s actually an interesting development that is going to lead somewhere that will develop their dynamic.

While there are so many phenomenal Kakashi moments throughout
#Naruto
, This moment is what made him one of my favorite characters until the end. One of the best scenes in part 1. THIS is how you say a lot about a character with so little.
This Event with Kishimoto and Ikemoto has been proving what I’ve said about Boruto for a long time. It’s been clear Kishi only drafted an outline but doesn’t write the actual moment-to-moment stuff, like the dialogue. That’s all Ikemoto.
It amazes me how many people still talk about Kaido like he was a low to mid tier One Piece villain. Through poor dialogue from popular content creators like morj, the nuance in his character and how it connects to OP’s themes is lost.

@wildfireluffy
Both are phenomenal character moments. One showing strength in his conviction to see beyond the known himself, and the other showing a glaring weakness on a path that would one day mature into his greatest strength. Unfortunately, most are too busy aura scaling to see this.
@stupidlizard_
@Noodledori1
“Fan service gone too far” when viewing this scene just goes to show how far this flew over so many heads. Craziest part is she’s doing the same thing every other character is doing in this arc. But because her scene also had to do with sexualization, it’s automatically bad.
What is blud waffling about? If maintaining friendships with the five great nations well after their mutually-beneficial coalition isn’t massive change, I don’t know what is. And he was only ever the front runner of this change, not a sole savior.
#NARUTO
#BORUTO
If re reading Bleach has given me one thing to take away, It’s that I don’t want to continue JJK reactions. This is real shonen. Gege could never (although he did in hidden inventory. What happened bros?)
#bleach
Over a year ago, I made the best Naruto video ever. Changed a lot of opinions on Kaguya and the war arc in general. Despite this, I didn't realize I never made timestamps for it! Well they are locked in now! Give it a watch or rewatch if it's been a while

@PayArcanum
Because being a “learned reader” doesn’t mean anything. It’s about perspective, and you can’t gain that without being faced with a novel interpretation that you genuinely try to engage with. The unfortunate truth is that most people don’t allow themselves to be flexible.
I’ve been seeing way too much vitriol between fans of One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. As the CEO of the big 3, I hereby ban fans of any of these series to slander the other. If I catch you, god rest your soul…
The more I see from the Hunter X Hunter manga, the more I hate myself for just settling with the anime and never starting the manga from chapter 1. Soon…
@Aleczandxr
Crazy part is I keep seeing people say this is the "best stretch" of Naruto. But, especially thematically, I'd give that title to the final arc any day. You have a lot more to look forward to!
Months later, Gintama still fills my mind along my other favorite stories. I could not expect the level of thematic depth this goofy series has. What it means to battle as a samurai, and how even characters like Kamui fight that same battle, they just don’t know it.

@JuanchoPan8931
“The first established theme” when it’s not even a theme at all—even when looking solely at Lee. That’s not what his arc represents. You people didn’t read/watch Naruto. The first clear theme comes at the end of chapter 1, expanding at the end of land of waves and so on…
I always believe I have average intelligence until I see the replies on threads like this. Most people lack the most basic media literacy, and as an aspiring author, it’s pretty sad.
@LotusAsakura
2023 and people still believe this shit. This video touches on everything going into Madara, Kaguya, and finally, Sasuke in the war arc. Everything culminates beautifully into Sasuke, and Kaguya is 100% a net positive for this thematic thread.
Shinra: Whimsical answer thought up on the fly to quell the foundation of suffering - is successful.
Yhwach: Methodical plan to do the same thing - fails.
There’s a major distinction between these two, though. And that is…
Heart.

What he means is start it and decide for yourself if you want to continue. Also, save yourself pain and watch only the manga canon episodes. Personally, I love the manga material.
@marie_ahan27775
I just don’t understand. Like, aside from obviously discounting Ichigo and Orehime’s dynamic, they are also ignoring Renji and Rukia’s relationship. Through Ichigo, they became stronger and closer to one another, and that’s where they always wanted to be.
It’s interesting Uryu asks this question as if it’s something unrelatable, yet just in the last major arc, he risked everything to win. It’s like he’s not looking directly at the hollows his kind historically hates so much. If he did, he’d see how her conviction is a lot like his
@VastoLorde08
This question is the ultimate litmus test for One Piece fans. Most don’t realize it isn’t a power scaling question. And most who ask it are looking for power scaling answers.
I WAS WRONG ABOUT JJK. GEGE COOKED. IM SORRY EVERYONE. I WAS THE FRUAD ALL ALONG.
Tune into my stream tomorrow to see me read the Shibuya arc for the first time. I have a lot to say about hidden inventory too.
#JujustuKaisen
CFYOW Volume 3 is Bleach manga levels of peak. Holy shit. Tousen goated, Aura goated, Hikone goated, Tokinada goated, Hisagi GOATED. If you haven’t read these novels and love Bleach, you are missing out heavy. This is peak fiction material.
#BLEACH
A lot of the Naruto posts I see are just engagement bait of the same bot opinions. He probably secretly fantasizes about Madara’s “aura” seeping into his urethra and coating his balls. Not that I see anything wrong with that on pride month.
So, I don’t think most people in the community care about the Crunchyroll anime awards, but how can
#Bleach
not be a nominee for best score? I mean, listen to this shit.
The double meaning of Mugetsu (moonless sky) in that Ichigo is not only eliminating Aizen's moon, but his own internal moon--His power controlled by Zangetsu, the vestige of Yhwach.
#BLEACH
Fujimoto either intentionally or unintentionally pointing to the state of current America. A finger on a trigger and a crack below lady liberty's eye, like metaphorical tears.
#csm177
Since he's fundamentally kind, Ryuken didn't want his son to follow the ultimate fate of all Quincies--everything for Yhwach and nothing for them.

@3SkullJoe
Nice. This doesn't change the fact that the pacing is still abhorrent, though. For me, pacing is the most important aspect in making a series either entertaining or not. No amount of Sakuga can make up for it.
@Naruto_Wifeyy
Usually, I hear gripes on the mass resurrection. But what they don’t get is that it was only achieved because Naruto reached Nagato, and didn’t kill him. Had Naruto enacted vengeance, it would merely mean victory, but since he didn’t, he’s granted something far better.
Rangiku’s words here are crazy when you consider one of the main themes of the story. It reminds me of Ichigo and Kenpachi’s journeys specifically.
#BLEACH
Someone should bet me ($100 at least. More if you're truly confident) that Sanji will get conquerors haki. I think there's absolutely no chance, and Sanji is my favorite character.

You and everyone else that have this take lack perspective. It’s as simple as bending is a martial art, not the manifestation of elemental power. Wan was the first to learn from the animals that used the elements as extensions of themselves—to bend.
In honor of Monogatari coming back, I’m going to out myself. Yes, I have a file with every frame of all the Monogatari girls’ feet. And no, I won’t delete it.

@envinyon
You mean the system that saw the five great nations constantly in a state of war or ceasefire that compelled sending children to battlefields? Funny how that's not a thing after Naruto successfully ended the 4th shinobi war.

I’d be happy to defend against any criticism you have (or anyone else) over on my stream :). I’ll be live streaming this Saturday @ around 3pm cst.
@r7dman
I feel like I’ve been gaslighting myself into liking it more than I actually do because of fans who hype it up like crazy. On the other hand, Bleach so effortlessly sweeps me away. I’m sorry, but the words I speak are my unfiltered truth.
It’ll be interesting to see how G5 Luffy adapts to all his looney tune effects being negated by Shank’s insane haki. Though, by the end of the fight, I need to see Shanks get tossed like a pizza.
#onepiece1111
@mrmorjman
No, people say it's not a big deal because that's the thread Oda has been crafting with the sh's and many other characters in the series. Blood ties have no bearing on them. Franky's father is Tom, and that's what matters to him and his story.
