Introduction and Purpose of Podcast
00:00:04
Speaker
Welcome to We Will Long. I'm Jon and I'm forcing my friend Nelson who doesn't like anime to watch and discuss different anime. Thanks for tuning in. Let's get started.
Naruto's 'Forest of Death' Arc Discussion
00:00:16
Speaker
What's up, guys? Welcome back to the show. My name is Jon. I got my buddy Nelson here. Say hi, Nelson. A lot small. That is you. And this week we are continuing our watch through of Naruto. We are finishing up the forest of death. Getting out of the forest. It lived up to the name. Yeah, it did. I was surprised it lived up to the name. You didn't think that bodies would drop? You know, I remembered this was a children's show on Cartoon Network. I was like, oh, you know, I don't think anything too bad. Oh, you know, people die. People be dead. Oh, yeah. I think we had what, six dead bodies in total so far.
Anticipation for Prelim Fights
00:01:00
Speaker
Yes.
00:01:01
Speaker
ah In the forest of death, yeah. we Yeah, we forested death in the Because we got to count ah all the people who... Zabuza killed. Zabuza killed. And then Zabuza and Zabuza Sim. Haku, thank you. um I got you. But it was unexpected and ah you know what? Cool. Yeah, look at you using a cool word. um Hell yeah. A cool word or the cool word? that Yes. Okay, perfect. But yeah, we all watched. further we got through 34 to 40 and we are prepped for some more shit going forward. I'm excited we're getting into the prelim phase before the third phase of the tuning exams.
00:01:51
Speaker
getting some one-on-one fights and some eliminations about to start happening. The ones that we watched, as far as elims, nothing too like heartbreaking or crucial or whatever the fuck. It's been like, oh, the unnamed person is eliminated. Cool. But we'll see what happens when we start getting named characters versus named characters in the next part. Oh, true. I forgot there's that one fight that is the fight that I know about. Yeah. Oh, oddly. Yeah, that. um I forgot one of them has to go home. Yeah. Fun, right? And here's
Gaara's Character Analysis
00:02:26
Speaker
my prediction. It's going to be Garo so he can come back as a bad guy. Ooh. I take. Hell yeah. Oh, the balloons going up in the back for my correct prediction.
00:02:37
Speaker
Oh, OK, that's what that was. Yeah, they did. You know, it gave like we vibes, you know, like we sports ah like are like Mario Party eight. Just balloons going up. Solid. But yeah, so we watched some Naruto. We actually, speaking of Gaara, got to open up with ah seeing Gaara do Gaara shit. ah We opened and we saw Kitba and Hinata and Shino going through scouting out some stuff that like we got ourselves. Let's just make it to the center. And then he was like, or we can take out other people and less scrolls, less competition.
00:03:17
Speaker
So they're going along and then they sense another ninja squad and then they go to it. And when they get there, Akamaru is already trembling. He's a little scared. Akamaru was trembling for like 200 yards before that. Yeah, that dog was fucking scared. Mm hmm. I don't blame him, though. Yeah. Cara, fucking scary. He's scary. Dude, you're like nine. Calm down. You spooky. I am interested for you to ah see more Gar. I'm excited for you to see the Gar Rockley fight. I really am. I'm actually kind of hype for that. Those are chi those are the who. Yeah. And not just tell all the boys that I ah did I watched it. It wasn't that cool. Mm hmm. So you didn't have to watch the rest of
Humorous Personal Anecdotes
00:04:07
Speaker
Naruto. Correct. Oh.
00:04:12
Speaker
What a guy. The man, the myth, the fucking legend. That's me. Yeah, that's you. all Oh, oh, oh, sorry. Off topic. But I thought you would appreciate it. Mm hmm. I had to make the announcements last night at work that we were closing. OK. Because we make like the 15 minute announcement to get the fuck out of the store. Yeah. And I picked up the intercom. And halfway through, somebody up front needed me. So on the intercom, I just went, I am here! And then started running toward the front. And I got up there and she was like, how's your My Hero watch going? And I was like, I miss it. Hell yeah. Thank you, My Hero Simp. Nice. No, yeah that ain't it.
00:05:04
Speaker
um buy do ah So anyway, back to Naruto. Turns around. It looks wrong. There'll go. Oh, yeah. Oh, but yeah. She she literally chased a frog yesterday. It makes sense. We got home and my wife chased a frog. Mm-hmm. Your wife. My wife. Mm-hmm. My wife. Oh. Except I'll do better than he did. Yeah, this is true. Shout out John Mulaney's horrible life decisions. Oh, my. Yeah. Olivia Munn. Really? Yeah. Psylocke. Got her choices. Gosh. God damn.
00:05:45
Speaker
Why that's her X-Men name. She was an X-Men. Yeah, she was days of future past or I never I never saw those. No, not days of future past. It was Apocalypse. Yeah, I was at the third. No, it was at the third one. It was one with Poe Dameron. I didn't see that one. I only saw like the original three. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no. This is like the
Gaara's Battle Techniques
00:06:08
Speaker
Jaylaw and the Michael Fassbender and. Oh, I've got Jaylaws in it. OK, I'll watch me need a Dory. She's from Steak. She. ah Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. She got that good costume. um Anyway, back to Naruto. I'm doing whatever I can to not discuss Naruto.
00:06:24
Speaker
I can tell. Is it working? No. Anyway, they see these two squads, they see the same ninja squad, and then they see these other people um that have umbrellas. and And yeah, what a cool ninja thing. on Umbrellas. But yeah. They catch up and they're like, Akamaru is freaking out. He was like, oh, one of these guys is super strong. I'm pretty sure it's that big guy. Uh, it turns out it's not Ikara. Uh, the guy throws the umbrella up into the sky, makes Senban come out of it, just like haku. And also, uh, whoever the fuck had Senban's recently that is currently escaping my, um, my noggin. Uh, it was, uh, fuck, I know this. It wasn't it, uh, it wrote Shimaru.
00:07:16
Speaker
I think it was. No, I think it was. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. I almost had it, though. Be proud of me. Oh, it was the fucking the bitch from the sound village. You know, that was actually going to be my guess. And then I'm like, I can't remember their name, so I'm going to go with the rich more. Hey, I can't remember her name either. So it's bitch from the sound. I think it started like a K. Mm-hmm. But yeah, ah we get to see ah the umbrellas go up, sembons come out, they go to attack Gara, it's supposed to have zero blind spots, ah and they do not hit Gara. Instead, his sand activates around him, making a shield and stopping all the sembons before they can hit him. His sand witch does so by itself, like, automatically? Uh-huh.
00:08:03
Speaker
OK, so there's a little more at play there. A little bit. Yeah. um ah Just a little. I mean, yeah, that's all I'll say. OK. Yeah. We'll watch further. It's good. John. OK. I got you. Mm hmm. Welcome. ah But yeah, what do you ah what do you think of Gara's automatic defense thing? Opie. Yeah. Like what's what is broccoli to do? Oh, you'll see. I mean, I'm assuming just take off his weights and kick right through it. But wait and see. I got it right. You'll have to. Let's go. You'll have to wait and see. I got it correct. I know. But fuck off. It. No. Garcil said that. Yeah, it's OP. um I feel like.
00:08:53
Speaker
They it's one of those things they wrote in so that they could be like, hey, look at this really cool thing. This badass character could do. And then they got to like the next fight and they were like, oh, fuck, I forgot we did that. We're going to have to figure out a way to maybe make this a little less. What, like Gage with ah Gojo being like, yeah, I made him to OP. p Yeah. Well, yeah you know, what you know what you're going to have to do? ah Wait and see. Yeah, weird. But yeah, ah Gara gets no hurt, and then he in instead goes on the attack, causes his sand to go forward. It grips onto the guy, wraps around his body. He then holds up his hand, levitates the guy up into the air, closes his hand, and then the sand crushes in on him, causing blood to go flying, causing this reaction.
00:09:51
Speaker
ah Did did Gara just? When you kill people, but you're on Cartoon Network, so you have to make the blood black. So Gara just killed that dude. 100 percent. Oh, oh, indeed. Oh, it's still kind of my reaction to that. No, even even with everything else that happened after. Oh, because once again, Gara, you're like nine. Why are you so mad? You'll have to. I don't care. He kills the other two as well, because he's like, they look to be funny. Yeah, dude. Yeah. What? Also, shout out, Lee, Mo, Brian, just, you know, being able to do the unhinged voices of Gara. What's up? Yeah, what's up? What's up? I don't know who that is. That was a what's up to Lee, Mo, Brian. You know, shout out to our main listener. Is he listening? He could.
00:10:48
Speaker
at him. Can you imagine how wild that would be if like we're a rather small show? Yeah. And then we just have like fucking Garo listening and he's like, oh, yeah, I love you guys. Yeah. Right. I mean, I'd be down. I mean, wouldn't we all? Yeah. This episode brought to you by Lima Brian. Again, tag him. ta Yeah, tag him. I will tag him on the insta post. Yeah. ah Yeah, no, this brought to you by limo Ryan LLC. I don't think we can do that one. Why?
00:11:22
Speaker
because that's like I feel like it's a man's actual business. I feel like it actually is because he's an actor. That's what it says on his tax forms. If social is? Well, now that you ask, it is 582. It's like you're getting a little close to mine. Oh, but anyway, back to the show. ah Yeah, Gara kills three people and then Kankaru and Tamari are like, hey, let's fucking get out of here and get out of here. and get dad
00:11:56
Speaker
Yeah and cars like i'm not done yet i want to kill more i wanna play and then they're like no listen to your older brother and your older sister let's go and then he's like if you want that way. or I'll fucking kill you. Yeah. And so he threatens to kill both of them. And then he, you know, decides like, you know, it is taking too long. Whatever the mood has left me for murder. Let's fucking go. And they leave as the other team is shitting their pants mercilessly. Yeah.
Fear and Consequences in Naruto
00:12:30
Speaker
Yeah. I don't blame them. They watch three dudes get eviscerated with absolutely zero effort.
00:12:37
Speaker
yeah i would be uh shooting my pants as well i would i would turn in my papers and be like hey guys it's been great thanks for the opportunity it's i'm gonna go cry Like, I'm good. I don't need to be a Judy in that bad. I choose life. All thoughts on Gara threatening Tamarian Conker to surprising, it but also kind of unsurprising, like he's a murder hobo. So it's one of those things that it's like, I mean, you threaten your teammates, but also he's threatening like childhood friends, I assume. Well, I mean, they even say your older brother and sister.
00:13:19
Speaker
Yeah, so they have a relationship. I don't know if they're actually related. ah I don't think so. Time will tell. That's just the name of the episode this week. I have to wait and see. um Please have to wait and see. Yeah. Shout out to church trauma. What's up? What? Yeah. ah So my family would always say that growing up that you'll have to wait and see Because it was the whole thing leading up to fucking Christmas, where it's like, when is Jesus coming? We'll have to wait. Wait. see Oh, my God. It was like the call and response throughout the entire church. Actual like cult behavior. Yeah, I would be half asleep at like the 8 a.m. service. And then like I would just hear, you have to wait and see. And I just. Oh, it was great. Loved it anyway.
00:14:13
Speaker
Yeah so my family would say that whenever we need to be paid for some of my mama's like don't have to wait and see and I'm like cool right so anyway now you all understand ah the the the the tremendous pain and then with the boring and now you all will have to wait wait and see anyway ah back to the show away from that all 10 foot pole anyway. ah Yeah, so they get away, they get to the center. We see the leaf squad being ah Hinata, Chino and Kiba also make it to the center. Uncle freaks out because he's like, how the fuck did they make it here in like an hour and a half? That's like our record. maybe Three minutes, which yeah. Record by four hours. Yes, which they keep on freaking out about like Garas team doing it, but he was team was there first.
00:15:12
Speaker
And they also were relatively uninjured. ah I don't even know if it's relatively. I think they were just uninjured. Yeah, like they ran into the one team. They made leeches fall. They got the scroll and then they decided went after that interaction to just fucking dip. They could have done it in like probably 40 minutes. Yeah, honestly, shit on our team. yeah thought um Anyway, like you guys. Yeah. ah But then we also see like, you know, the whole breaking the record by four hours. And then also the fact that Gara has not a single scratch on him. Nifty. Cool. Interesting. Someone to keep an eye out for. And then we go back to our main cast. We get to see more Sakura. Hell yeah.
00:15:58
Speaker
Oh, yeah, doing what? Trying to light a fire, but then asking Sasuke for help. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah, we watch as our to make shadow clones jumps into the river, skates to fish up, Sasuke throws kunai and then ah they're like, all right, we got to try to get more next time. And then Sakura is like, that's good. I got the wood ready. Use your fireball. And then um he goes over as I have to do everything myself and fucking nutty. Anyway, they eat, Sasuke leaves to go do stuff, and then Naruto and Sakura go to open up the scroll, and we get a whole little episode of like, will they, won't they, and then Kabuto shows up and he's like, fucking don't, it's a bad idea. And then, yeah, they all team up and they go throughout the rest of the Force of Death heading towards the tower.
Kabuto's Dual Nature Revealed
00:16:51
Speaker
ah Thoughts on Kabuto showing up and keeping them in it? Well, knowing what we know now. Mm-hmm.
00:16:57
Speaker
Makes sense. Yep. Nothing's now many valuable things that you haven't thought of before. Hot the fuck up. Shout out to Stephen. Stephen Sondheim. Stephen. Uh huh. Stephen Sondheim. My man giving shout outs to Semen today. Mm hmm. It's good. It's good. It's good. Hey, guys, just want to give a big shout out to our sponsor today. Come on. ah
00:17:22
Speaker
Jesus. ah Wow. um That was a little too on the sink anyway. no Yeah. Knowing what we know now with him being a shithead, it makes sense. um I I wasn't too surprised that he was like helping because he had been kind of a a friend along the way. I was like, OK, his teammates are gone. He's still looking to advance. He's going to team up with them. They'll all get there together. And he gets to move on. Makes sense for me. Makes sense. But a shithead nonetheless. A shithead. Absolute shithead. Yeah. No, I remember watching. i I was like, you know, I like Capito. He's nice. He's, a you know, tell and stuff like that. Exactly what I've been thinking.
00:18:07
Speaker
yeah like wow look at this good guy um and then turns out he's not but yeah they start making their way towards the tower to finish off the force of death and as they're going uh naruto throws a kunai at a fucking giant fucking centipede yucky gross ill pins it to the tree and then they continue on they try to go quietly they keep on going but they realize that they're not getting any closer and then they turn around they see that same centipede kunai to the tree so they are stuck in somebody's genjutsu which is again illusionary jutsu where they've just essentially been going in circles getting tired and worn out and then
00:18:48
Speaker
They get ambushed. We see a whole bunch of these clones pop up. Kunai are coming from different areas. Naruto's fighting them and Kabuto's saving him by like pushing him out of the way. And then eventually they wind up, ah you know, turning it around. And Naruto makes clones disguised as the other people. and Yeah. yeah la ru um And the other people fall for it. and Cool. What'd you think of that thingy? I think that's a very nifty thing that'll help in the future. um The being now being able to disguise your teammates.
00:19:28
Speaker
Uh-huh. Cause that's the first time we've seen that, isn't it? Nope. Uh, so the thing that he had to do to, um, pass the thing was one, make a shadow clone, and then also the, uh, transformation. Oh, with the sexy jutsu. Yeah. The sexy jutsu. This is him not doing the sexy, but instead changing it to be something else. But doing it three times. Yeah, yeah. That's the part. Yeah, that's the part where I'm like, oh, mm hmm. OK, no, that's that's a useful tool that'll help us later. That is nifty. Yeah. Naruto's huge thing is Shadow Clone and then two other jutsu or actually really three others that will get to. OK. So he's more than a one trick pony. Correct. He is this one trick.
00:20:14
Speaker
ah For a bit, however, I believe not in our next chunk, but the chunk after that um will be when he gets another one. OK. Yeah. So not our next Naruto like block, but the following. Yeah. OK. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, so, you know, listen, less of a one truck pony, he gets some more stuff, you know, adds a little notch to the belt, grows a little bit. And yeah, cool, nifty, enjoying it. Uh, but yeah, so they make it through that fight. Uh, and then they continue on their way and they make it to it. Habuto dismisses himself from the group to be like, Oh, I got to go over here and meet up with my team. And so they all go through together. And then, uh, Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto venture into the tower.
00:21:06
Speaker
We then see that how it meets up with none other than a rochi maru and they start talking we find out that it has been a double agent the entire time. Oh oh he's a shithead he is. He is a shithead. Were you expecting that? No. Hey. Look at the show throwing a curveball at you. great I had I had no other words to describe him other than shithead. Yeah. Yeah. We will get to see more ah more Kabuto in the future.
00:21:44
Speaker
Asshole behavior. Mm-hmm. Straight up. How can we see more of him in the future? He left. Oh. What's going to happen? That means we'll never see him again, right? Anime never brings back characters. You know what that means? I have to wait and see. got ah The power of Christ compels us. um and che It's not very compelling. But yeah, ah so Capito and Orochimaru, they ah be in cahoots searching for something vital and interesting, and they have found it in
00:22:23
Speaker
sasuke sasuke so they are keeping him a little close to the chest and keeping an eye on him uh but we go from kabuto and roji maru to sakura sasuke and naruto who see this thingy they open up the scrolls it summons aruka sensei uh is there he's like hey you did it you passed aruka I that was alluding to I couldn't remember who the fuck he was. Oh, yeah. Yeah. In the moment ah when we were watching it, you could not remember the name at all. I could. I couldn't really even remember him. I was like, Oh, that's a guy we've seen. Don't know where but we've seen him. How are you already spacing on stuff that happened in this? So, um.
00:23:13
Speaker
I worry about your memory. We're watching a show I don't like. Mm-hmm weird. Well, it's happened with other shows as well and do something every Shit memory, bro. Yeah that too. Oh Hmm weird But yeah a ruka who um you know coach Naruto through the not m ramen Yeah, got him ramen took the giant shuriken from me
00:23:44
Speaker
yeah forgot took one for the team Yeah. And has like when the training exam arc started, it was like, they're not ready. And then he was like, whoa, whoa, listen, they're my team now. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up, guy. Yeah. But not guy. He didn't tell that guy. Kukashi. That's how I'll do my announcements tonight. Yeah. The power of youth. The power of the store closing in 15 minutes. Mm-hmm. You just need to pick up the mic and go dynamic entry. Oh my god.
00:24:22
Speaker
I would like to go home. Is there a leaf hurricane? Cause stuff is flying off the shelf at BJ's.
00:24:34
Speaker
Oh, it's so stupid and I love it. on Anyway, getting back to it. Uh, yeah, everything shows up. We found out that he went to uncle. I was like, Hey, can I fucking for Naruto squad? Can I, can I give the new news whether it's pass or fail? And then she's like a fucking. Sure, I don't give a shit, do it. ah And so then he does. And yeah, they get and ready for the next thing. We get a little flashback you know montage of like, you guys are getting so far. and and
00:25:05
Speaker
Yeah, it doesn't even matter. Anyway, they go into the next place. We see all the other people who have just finished and wound up being seven squads, leaving us with 21 people. lot number and ah Lord is there um and they all talk in. Oh, God. No. um They all talking amongst themselves and then they get it dressed and they're like, hey, you guys fucking did it. Nice. ah Before we move on to the next thing, it's going to be one on one
Tuning Exams vs. Olympics
00:25:39
Speaker
fights. This is an all out brawl. You are allowed to do whatever you want. This is, you know, showing that each country has its merits based off of its youthful shinobi that are newcomers and stuff like that.
00:25:54
Speaker
It's how you display your strength and your national pride. Tuning exams very much like the Olympics. Olympics. Yeah. I knew where that was going. Yeah, hell yeah. nail Nailed it. Nailed it. What you think about just the tuning exams in general being a thing? I think i think it it's kind of cool that we get to see all of the different abilities I guess kind like kind of like come together and fight each other because I don't think in any other situation really like statistically like somebody from the hidden leaf village is going to run into a sound ninja just going out. Yeah, it would mostly be like, oh, hey, we're against each other on missions.
00:26:46
Speaker
Yeah, and not really, I mean, because it's not really a teamwork aspect between the different villages, which I think would have been cool. Mm hmm. Like if we got to see a combined what she know. with the bug shit. Yeah. Like fighting with the sound guy like if the sound guy was like launching the bugs. Yeah. Then like would have been nifty, but instead that. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. You'll have to wait and see. Hmm. The cool stuff that you're asking for may happen in the future. Who knows how far in the future?
00:27:31
Speaker
You'll have to wait.
00:27:36
Speaker
But yeah, you're killing me, man. You're killing me. Good. Killing me, Smalls. Have you even seen that movie? Yes, I have. Oh. Yeah. Run home. Anyway. The dangerous in the outfield. I know. Where's he going? He's running home. You told him to go home. He's going home. Uh, baseball. ah Anyway, um, we're in a league of our own. Oh, cool. Hey, Rudy, Rudy. Mm hmm. Yeah. that's for I was struggling to think of any other baseball. I was about to go to fucking. Oh, what is it, Ruth or no, babe, where it's just like the animated tag. Oh, what Babe Roots bat that talks to the kid. I e do not believe you that that is a thing. A hundred percent is a thing. I can't remember the name of it right now. Oh, I'm going to see ah Babe Roots. Everyone's hero movie in 2006 animated comedy film about a young boy who sets out to return Babe Bruce stolen bat before the 32 World Series.
00:28:52
Speaker
Yep, there we are. We have nailed it. You're welcome. What is this cast list? It is great. That's what it is. J.T. Austin, Rob Reiner, William H. Macy, Raven, Simone and Whoopi Goldberg. Yep. And also directed and executive producer Christopher Reeves. ah
00:29:15
Speaker
What Brian? He stacked. But yeah, anyway, back to Naruto. Mandy Patankin. Yep, Mandy Patankin. Back to Naruto. ah We get the that that whole addressing thing. Onko starts talking about the curse mark a little bit loud, and definitely with an earshot of everything. And Kakashi's like, nah, he won't willingly give up. like You gotta let him compete. Also, it would be bad.
00:29:46
Speaker
ah For us to do that and they're like seems okay cool to decide to move forward and not pull Sasuke out at this point They ask if there are any people who want to ah you know, give up i Me I want to afford I want to give up. No, you don't says the shithead. Yes, exactly Wow, I wasn't even making I wasn't even like me giving up like i I'm trying to be more open-minded here Yeah, no sure. That's exactly where you were going with that. I It is. I haven't bitched nearly as much this episode. That is true. There's been less yelling at each other this episode. So fuck you.
00:30:25
Speaker
More laughter, I think. More, you know, personal religious anecdotes. And let's finish the episode. We don't finish the recording and just go bye. Yep, yep. Well, we finished the episode. You'll have to wait and wait. Oh, yeah. Damn it. Yep. it's ah It's awful because it's one of those things where like you say it once and then it just keeps on going in your brain. Yeah, it's awful. Love it. Brainwash. Anyway, back to Naruto.
Sasuke and Shino's Fight Tactics

Yeah, but we get, uh, Ooh. Sakura trying to raise her hand to tell them all about the curse mark on Sasuke's neck because she's like, they can't. You can't compete. It's going to be bad. Whatever that's happening to. It's a bad thing. And so she goes to raise her hand at Sasuke grabs. I was like, fucking don't bitch. It's my call. Where to fuck my future. I am an Avenger.
00:32:29
Speaker
um da That has become my... That is one of my two favorite running gags. When I was editing through the stuff, whenever Sasuke says, I'm an Avenger, ah then we both do the Avengers ah theme. And then also, as we hit the closer is you go, oh, dear God, let me skip this. And I just go, so to buy.
00:33:02
Speaker
Every episode without. Oh, it's great. That's the word we're going to go with, huh? Yeah, it's very enjoyable for me. Oh, there you go. Yep. And that's what matters, right? Because, you know, treat yourself. Love Parks and Rec. Great show. Anyway, shout out, Michael. Soda bar soda bar. Bada, bada. Um, and back to Naruto. What a transition. Thank you. Catch my DJ playlist. Um, no we got all the good transitions. Just wait for the bass drop from sadness and sorrow to, uh, fucking don't stop believing. and Which one sadness and sorrow.
00:33:50
Speaker
It's a sad that leave from a fine. No, that's that's a sad music from Avatar, the last airbender. Oh, we fuck. You're right. That's on the uncle. I wrote cry yourself to sleep music. That's what that is. You're right. Never mind. Oh, hi. but I do remember sobbing my eyes out when I was 10 when that came out. Yeah. He's like his child. And now he has a surrogate in his girl nephew, nephew, not grandson, nephew, not grandson. neph Uncle Iroh, brother. Uncle, uncle, not grandpa. Uncle, uncle. Anyway, ah back to Naruto.
00:34:30
Speaker
And 40 episodes were killing it. Yeah, I think this is episode 43 that we're doing right now. Oh, we're fucking balling out. We're almost to 50, my guy. Almost, which is almost 60. Mm hmm. Wait, that means almost to our one year. Yeah. Oh. Yup, never forget. Anyway, back to the show for I think the fifth time to try to get us going forward. sodaba Yeah, they start up ah the the shit because Sasuke's like, don don't talk about the curse mic and Sakura's like, fine. And then it turns out that he is going first in the 1v1s versus one of Kabuto's um teammates.
00:35:13
Speaker
And so they start a fight. um It looks bad for your boys to sook right off the bat because the first one says soo curse mark activates whenever he uses his chocolate. And this guy runs up towards him and he lays hands on him and ah he has a technique where he can like sap your chakra away from you by touching you kill you. Yeah, he drains you of your energy. So he is making contact with Sasuke. Sasuke is like, yeah. And so then things look not great and he has an idea. ah He remembers when Rock Lee ah kicked his shit around. And so he copies Rock Lee's move, kicks him up into the air. But he's only seen it once. Only once. The fact that it was only once when it was used against him.
00:36:08
Speaker
Yeah, like are the sharing gone, you know? yeah Oh, yeah. Yeah. He got them powers. Fucking nutty. Fucking cool. And so then he shows up behind Capito's teammate and he goes to kick him down towards the ground. We see his lion's barrage and he kicked some so hard down into the ground that the concrete around him where the impact is is cracked and sasuke wins his fight uh thoughts on sasuke's fight sasuke not going like full curse mark uh-huh i thought he was gonna lose it
00:36:50
Speaker
Like, I thought it was going to go full like ape shit like he did against the the sound ninjas. Yeah. Well, like he doesn't even go any curse mark. You know, he sends it away, pushes it back. Yeah. Which I know Orochi Maru was like, oh, isn't that interesting? You know, he was over there making some noises and milking very much over the very much so. Mm hmm. Creepy. Making his own soda bar. Yeah. Oh, God. Oh.
00:37:20
Speaker
ah no You're welcome. Did not like that. Too bad. yeah um But no, the I I feel like I expected a little more from the fight. It was kind of cool seeing him copy Rockley's move. Yeah. But I it'll be interesting to see what happens with the curse mark down the line. Yeah. No, I'm excited to, you know, get you seen more of it because it's a, it's an important thing for a while. So hell yeah. I would hope so. Yeah. So it'll be cool. But yeah.
00:37:58
Speaker
Sasuke gets to move forward. ge lays He gets up and then as he's about to fall back, Kashi teleports behind him and he gets escorted away. Kashi goes and Kashi Kashi. um goes and he creates a seal for the curse mark and then he finished sealing sasuke falls over and gets a little nappy poo in because he's exhausted uh and then as he falls over who should appear in the shadows none other than Orochimaru.
00:38:35

00:39:42
Speaker
and We see Kakashi square up against Orochimaru ready to defend Sasuke and he even does his full lightning blade and is ready to go at him and Orochimaru is like Are you actually going to do it? Are you going to hesitate like last time? And we see Kashi get that same. Hang of fear that Sakura and Sasuke got when they were in the forest of death, when they first started fighting Orochimaru. And then Orochimaru just walks away and Kakashi was unexpected. Yeah. say Yeah.
00:40:17
Speaker
What do you think of Kakashi Friesen? How strong is Orochi Maru? So he even says, I don't care if you're one of the legendary signing or not. The signing are three like top, top, top, top tier ninjas. And that's what tomorrow is. He's one of them. Yeah. Oh, so he's like. Yeah, he is he's like up there. Yes, very much so. OK, so no, I understand the freezing now. Yeah. um but it but Go ahead, go, Joe. Just ah take a step back and calm yourself. Well, my favorite thing is he makes the comment of like, if you want him, you're going to have to go through me. If you take a step forward, one of us isn't going to make it out of here. And then he's like thinking back and he's like, hindsight, that was a stupid fucking thing to say. I would have died.
00:41:05
Speaker
ah Yeah, which would have been a wild plot twist for the show. yeah Kakashi just murked nutty. Yeah, a kakashi a kakashi kill would have been probably the biggest ah like curveball in the show so far. Yeah. Other than the Kabuto reveal. I would say more so. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Oh, Yeah. Character. The one of the only characters that you really like ah would be only like. Oh, no, no, no. Rock Lee. Rock Lee. Sorry. I feel like you're also becoming like a Sasuke fan. I feel it. I feel it. Oh, you're pretty jazzed over his fight. I'm just saying. Not this one. The one with versus Roji Mara. It ah wrestled your Jimmy's. My Jimmy's were wrestled. Yes. Throwing it back to that. Oh, it's your utter confusion. Yeah, again, just weird vernacular. Oh,
00:41:59
Speaker
But anyway, yeah, so Sasuke makes it through his round. He does get kidnapped by Orochimaru and Kakashi doesn't die. And the curse mark is sealed. Cool. And then we get to move on to Zaku versus Shino. We get to see Bugman. start doing bug things. Bugman. Oh. Bugman. Oh, we went too very different. Too very different. I thought that you're 100 percent going. It's always sunny. Oh, man. Oh, yep.
00:42:32
Speaker
Fight her over the sound man. paul Solid. I'm really proud of that one. Yeah, ah we get to see some backstory on Zaku in the Shino fight. We find out no backstory really on Shino. We get it on the guy who's leaving. Yep. For now. ah We see that Orochimaru would, you know, pick up strays and stuff like that and recruit them alluding to some other stuff that could potentially happen and makes you wonder how he has gathered all this other stuff because everyone's been talking about how the sound village is a relatively new village and then in his interaction with Kakashi is like, you know, the sound villages are
00:43:16
Speaker
My village. What are your thoughts on him, you know, being like the Fagin to evil Fagin for Oliver Twist of all the yeah his name? is I was trying to remember that name like two days ago. I played the damn guy in a show and couldn't even remember the name. No, you didn't. Didn't I? Nope. That which when was me. Fagin. What was the undertaker's name? The undertaker. That was it. No way. He had a name. Mr. Brown, though. Was it actually? I think so. Anyway, but that was the name I was trying to remember. And I was like, what's Fagan? the Undertaker? No, you were that guy. That was him. fuck That's right. It's it's a very. Oh, and speaking of perfect. Perfect way of doing this. Who is the proctor for the third part of the tuning exams?
00:44:10
Speaker
Oh that's easy, it sucks playing. Who plays? Suguru Gato. Exactly. I was going to say it's a very gato thing. it to Maybe that's where I got the idea. to I mean, how strong are the people in his village if he individually plucked them as children and trained them himself? Yeah, like I feel like it is definitely not a village to be fucked with, but at the same time, if you have, I don't know, the nine tail fox in you, a curse mark you can get control, ah you throw somebody a kunai once, is it then you might they might be in trouble.
00:44:51
Speaker
Potentially, who knows? I guess we'll wait and see. Not this, but the next big chunk will be the end of like the intro to Naruto. okay Oh, so we're still in just the intro. I mean, this is so this is still like, you know, we're getting new characters and stuff like that. It's two seasons for another show. yeah By this point, we are halfway through Attack on Titan. Listen, Linda, they were still introducing characters in season four ah for Attack on Titan. And season two, I think is when we got introduced to most of the military police. While they were wrapping up the show, they introduced new characters in season four.
00:45:37
Speaker
Yeah, and also we got new characters in season three. We got the whole Royal Family and all that shit. We got Kenny, we got all these other people. People get introduced in shows as it goes along. That is how shows work. Stop being mad at Naruto for doing what other shows do. It's not fair and it's stupid. Respectfully, no. Stupid. It doesn't make my hero season two. We're gonna get so many other characters and stuff like that. And that is like 190 episodes or something. What? My hero? I think it's like 170, 180 somewhere in there. I guess I can momentarily cease my bitching. Nice. Good. Nailed it. For now.
00:46:21
Speaker
Yeah, but you know, like it has, like you could, it would be the end of the tuning exam arc is what I'm trying to say. Perfect. Okay. I can live with that. I can work with that. Cool. Which like, I feel like the tuning exam arc, it establishes, establishes characters. You get a whole bunch of stuff. You get a lot of stuff to use for the future as
Structure of the Tuning Exams Arc
00:46:39
Speaker
well. And it's, it's solid. It's a long arc. It's a good arc though. And it's an arc full of arcs. Hence force of death, prelim, first exam, and then also third exam. and then so on and so forth. But yeah, excited to keep on going with that. ah But anyway, going on with this, Shino versus Zaku fighting each other. ah We see that Zaku is able to start moving his arms again. and After Sasuke, like, done, popped him out and dislocated them, slash, broke them in the forest. He pulls one out and hit Shino up close. He goes to hit him and Shino blocks.
00:47:17
Speaker
and then he gets sent flying by the air cannon. We then see a whole bunch of bugs going up behind Zaku and then bugs coming from Shino. I did not like that. You didn't like that? I did not like that. Weird. ah We find out that Shino has these chakra beetles that are living inside of him. ah Neji takes a look inside with his biakugan and sees all the bugs crawling around underneath Shino's skin, ah prompting this from you. The speed at which I would kill myself.
00:47:52
Speaker
ah I mean, say no, I'm ah absolutely like doing my best impression of a ceiling fan. There is no chance that I would I would make it to 10. No, yucky. Imagine having beetles just crawling crawling in and out of your skin. I'd rather not imagine that. Imagine it, though. No, I'm I'm OK if if all the things I can imagine, that's going to be one of the last. How about no and get fucked? Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:26
Speaker
Yeah. But anyway, ah he has these beetles they can feed on other people's chakra and they live inside of Shino. So he calls them out. He's a part of the Aparame clan and that is Clam. Yep. They're a pearl. um Anyway. Good recovery. Thank you. I try. I nail it sometimes, but not always. ah But yeah, so they're a clan that is in the Hidden Leaf Village and their thing that they're known for is being master bug tamers. and so What a wild job title to have. A wild job title, but a job title um nonetheless. Nonetheless.
00:49:16
Speaker
We see that Zaku is fucking faking. Uh, his other one is able to pull out his other arm and he goes to unleash a sound wave at both Shino and also the bugs at the same time. And as he does, we see ah some shit fucking up with his arms and we watch as his arms pretty much like snap. explode about midway through because he's got holy arms. Yeah, he himself is indeed drafty. Oh, we find out that when she know and him got up close in the very beginning of the fight, she knows you knows gave him herpes. Yep, he gave him the bugs. And so they crawled inside of the air cannons, air cannons in his hands and
00:50:07
Speaker
block them up and air had to go somewhere somewhere so out through the other new holes in his arm crazy. ah honestly pretty brutal of she not extremely brutal but i mean he won Bugman. Ah, ah being, ah you know, him and Sasuke, the two people who are moving on so far to stage three of the tuning exams, you know, getting us that that stacked bug cast. Cool. After that, we get the next people getting called up, which is Concerto. And also, I believe Capucho's other teammate as well. Yes.
00:50:52
Speaker
Uh, which is where we leave off. ah Your prediction was that, uh, concrete who's going to get ah eliminated. I was right. Yeah. What do you, uh, what do you think is going to happen with the next couple of fights? Who do you think is going to fight who? I think Rockley is going to fight Gara. Okay. Who do you think Naruto is going to fight? I think Naruto is going to fight, um, Negi. Okay. Who do you think Kiba's going to fight? dog is I think, I think, oh, I know Kiba. I think Kiba is going to fight... Ten Ten. Okay. Wait, is it Ten Ten on his team? No, Ten Ten is on... nege Oh, then yeah, him and Ten Ten. The girl on his team, Hinata. ah Who do you think Hinata is going to fight? Sakura. Okay. Who do you think Ino and Shikamaru?
00:51:47
Speaker
yeah Are you pairing them up? Because those are your only other ones. Yeah, pairing them up. Yeah. And then, oh, and then you also have choji. ah And also we will be fighting a empty stomach. Heard. Sounds good. Cool. Predictions were made um made. Well, are they accurate? No, no. um I got Rockley Agara. You got that one. they You got none of the others. Not a single one. Yep. None of those matchups are in the prelims. Oh, fuck.
00:52:28
Speaker
It's all good, but, uh, anyway, I go again. Yeah. So we have two of our 10 spots. No, no. Uh, two of our 10 spots.
Prelim Fight Predictions
00:52:42
Speaker
Uh, we have a 16 other people. It'll be cool. See who makes it through. I was sure it was going to be fucking Naruto and edgy. Nope. That was like my guaranteed. It was not. You're only guaranteed was Rockley and Gara, buddy. That's only because I knew that going in. I would never have guessed it. Believe it.
00:53:04
Speaker
ah But yeah, so that ends where our episodes ended. yeah That was our Naruto watch. Next week, we'll be watching another seven episodes, going 41 to 47. This will be finish or getting close to the end of the prelim fights. And yeah, I'm excited for you to get further. We're gonna get a lot of Sakura action in the next couple episodes.
00:53:48
Speaker
I don't want it. He's milking? um It'll be great. I don't want it. I don't want it. Oh, what a fucking soccer a bullshit. Hey, it's going to happen. Um, but yeah, we get to see. So to. We'll get to see some more shit going on. ah But yeah, again, episodes 41 through 47 for next week. Yeah. What are you? ah What are you up to? What you what you plug in, bitch?

How could I? Holy shit. So good. The band has a hype man that's a goblin. Nice. He just runs around on stage dancing like a goblin. Solid. It's so good. Hell yeah. He doesn't sing. He doesn't play any instruments. He just hops around and gets people fucking late. I didn't have a mic. That doesn't mean that he can't make that. Yeah, you're right. He probably does. I'd be doing that at the top of my lungs if I was a goblin hype man.
00:55:56

Yeah, very nice. um The entirety of the movie is basically just a recap of season one is it ah from like Nagi's perspective. Mm hmm. The last five minutes of the movie is the only like, I guess, plot significant thing moving forward. That's like new information. um So shout out to the girl in the movie theater who was with me, who sat through the entire film and then had to go to the bathroom in the last six minutes and got back as the credits rolled. Damn. And missed the announcement. Yeah. Oh, no. But what was that? Aren't you going to go see the movie potentially?
01:01:50
Speaker
I want to know anyway yeah sure I'll go for it so those who finish or like instead of being like the top number one they're taking the top eleven who are going to go up against the japan u11 or you are you twenty team and if they win they'll be replacing them. Yeah that was not at the end of season one. No, was it? Yes, it was 100 percent. No, I just watched season one. It was. Ego tells them all that that is the thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I have no memory of this and I fuck my memories so bad. Yeah. So my God. All of this out. I had it all of this out.

It's good. Um, this week's episode got to you by hymns. Uh, what? I don't know. It doesn't even improve memory. It just gives you a boner. Uh, no, it's a blue chew. Yeah. I figured hair loss would also be with, I don't know, memory loss. It's the same thing, right? Uh, well, well, uh, anyway, It's good. Do your, you know, do Sudoku, get your brain exercises going. Why did I kill myself? Remember more importantly to watch the next seven episodes of Naruto to keep weaving along with us. And you all have an absolutely fantastic rest of your week.
