[NARUTO] E27, 28, 29 & 30 Full Reactions

Tranquilaye

Finally catching up on these reactions. It is an interesting discussion about their choices when faced with Orochimaru. For me, there's 2 separate parts. Part 1 is Sasuke offering up the scroll with Naruto calling him a coward and punching him. At this point, that's the best move Sasuke could have made. He was painfully aware of how outclassed they were. Sure, maybe some could argue he should have known it wouldn't work on someone who's bloodlust was so strong it brought them to their knees, made Sakura start crying and caused Sasuke to vomit.... but even if he had doubts, offering up the scroll was his best chance to survive, better than running or fighting. I'm on Sasuke's side here but I can give Naruto a bit of a pass since he didn't witness Orochimaru yet and has no clue how outmatched they are. He is also coming off a high of overcoming a near death situation of his own by escaping from that snake. Yes it's not comparable to the level of threat facing Sasuke and Sakura, but he doesn't know that, so I'm not too hard on him for reacting that way, though the punch was a bit much. Part 2 however comes here when Orochimaru admits that he doesn't care about the scroll and will kill them anyway. This is where I leave Sasuke's side. I get it, and don't begrudge him for it, it's a moment of weakness, but he's certainly not in the right anymore. He doesn't run or fight or try to call or signal for help or anything, he just freezes. It's understandable as a natural reaction to such fear and I absolutely sympathize with it, but it's objectively the worst move possible. This is where Sakura joins in now, calling Sasuke a coward too. While harsh, she's seeing her hero and guy she's been crushing on forever just freeze up and do nothing in a life and death situation where she's facing the same thing he is. His will is weaker than hers here and it's crushing her to see that. That's how I took this whole scene anyway, I'm sure there's a million interpretations of it. In the end though, I don't begrudge any of the characters for what they did here, tensions were just really high.

I didn’t say it was :) I was asking if it also was, since people said naruto is inspired by hxh

Pratos

I think you're mistaken when you say that this scene of Naruto was inspired from the one from Hunter X Hunter. Even if Hunter x Hunter started being published 1 year before Naruto, tthe author from Hunter x Hunter had many hiatus and his pace was slower. The scene you're speaking about from HxH is after many arcs whereas this one from Naruto is only at the second arc so this scene from Naruto was published in 2000 whereas the one from HxH was published in 2005.

She's not moderating the comments, but she's trying to avoid spoilers. She's having Hanco try and moderate, but he's never seen Naruto before so he's trying his best. She mentioned this in the description. It's a shame though, my comment also got deleted. I was also just explaining my interpretation of a scene that already happened. Maybe Hanco thought we were posting spoilers or fansplaining? Edit: Also, I just looked at more comments, and another person also had their comment deleted haha. I think Hanco might be removing all the comments explaining why we think Naruto was right. Maybe he thinks it's a spoiler? lol If KT sees this, I totally get that these things can happen.

The moderation here is really weird , I posted a comment with absolutely 0 spoilers (only a comment based my opnion on a subject) of course with no insult and in total respect and it was deleted... If we're not allowed to disagree with the reactor or with other people here and disucss different opinions in respect , why have a comment section in the first place?

Animaechan

yeah in my eyes, he had just gotten there, he had no idea about the situation, so he had no right to criticize. As far as I understand from what we've learned up to now, a ninja has to be more than strong, they need to be smart to, and prioritise the mission. If you have to avoid a fight to make sure you complete a mission, I think that's the right thing to do. Based on the information Sasuke had, this person could have easily killed them (the exam rules allow that), so I still think Sasuke was in the right

Animaechan

that's... pretty much what I said lol

Eric

You get heated up so much cause youre watching the anime with a “realistic mindset” lol I’ve never seen anyone do that before lol cheers to a sasuke fan boy haha

John Kauffman

Great reaction and totally agree on the whole scaredy cat thing. I'm no Sasuke fan but he was right in that case and Naruto really doesn't have much reason for his confidence but I guess it could be him being too clueless to know he's in over his head lol.

omg when it started buffering when Sasuke got punched in the face I nearly choked on my food

Chris Mitchell

Episode 30 has aged so well visually. Thanks for your hard work on watching extra episodes.

Di

Lmfaoo that buffer when sasuke got punched was perfect😂. Caught me off guard.

Animaechan

hey hey! Please read the edited part of the post, I did try and address this as well as I could and also have mentioned it earlier on Discord

Azazelop

Wait why did my comment get deleted? Did it have a spoiler in it. If so it was unintentional because this is also my first time watching.

Animaechan

hmm I didn't think it wasn't physical/just a projection - I meant like, are they snakes that are really in the forest and was just being controlled by that guy or not :) Like... there were two possibilities at that point - the forest was filled with monsters and those snakes might've been in the forest already and that guy has the power to control snakes, OR he can summon them (like we saw him do in a later episode). Like I always say, there is no need to answer my questions/confirm or deny things, the anime will reveal all in time.

The snake was real. It was a summoning jutsu, like Kakashi's dogs and Guy's turtle. Also you missed that Anko (the pretty instructor) was Orochimaru's subordinate And just now I realized how visually bad episode 29 was, compared to 30th Great reaction as always❤

Xhulio

Sasuke was amazing in that last episode. He just showed us that UCHIHA GREATNESS in that fight with Orochimaru🔥

I thought i'm trippin

Animaechan

As in the past, I will close the chat if I feel it's necessary. But I generally enjoy watching it with others - and I'm sure you'd feel the same if you were there.

Can you turn off the chat when you watch an episode because it distracts you from the episode don't kill me it's just a request you can say no:) love your reaction hope it's not get you mad
