SHIPPUDEN 176-178 (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)

WHAT?! These Episodes Made ME CRY... someone halp me.
WE ARE BACK ... I'm recording the next batch of episodes off stream until I hear something back from Twitch. It felt a little weird not having you all there with me, but these episodes were truly, incredible. A must watch.

OMG 50:43 I LOVE that scene in part 1, so glad we got to see their tsundere relationship again in part 2

Wow, yah I'd never watched these episodes either! I think I stopped watching filler for the most part after the Utakata arc. But these were sooo GOOD!! And honestly important as long with bringing that emotional depth that Naruto's known for! Thank you for providing such amazing content! I've never watched a reactor who's put this much time and love into Naruto <3

LordoftheCast13

I've never had twitch, but I agree, fuck twitch!

It's episodes like these that make Naruto so special to me. It's not just good vs evil, its real issues based in a lack of understanding for each other. To me that's why Pain is such an amazing villain. Then to follow that up with these episodes is crucial. Not everyone has experienced the pain and hate that death brings. But we all know what it feels like to be bullied/misunderstood by the people around us in some way. Over and over this show reminds us of the importance of taking the time to listen and understand each other.

The 3rd Hokage was so awesome! People like to give him shit because of how Naruto was treated but they don't understand he had to do it that way otherwise Naruto would have had it way rougher. The 3rd Hokage was integral with the will of fire and the mind set of all the young leaf ninja including all the older ones as well. Plus, he was considered a genius even from the 1st and 2nd Hokage. He just had it during such a rough time and had to make some hard decisions all while keeping Danzo away as well. Much respect for the 3rd.

Just Gedo Art: Rinne Rebirth chat. Then we’ll un-die so you can see us again.

Let us know if there's anything we can do to help with the twitch situation πŸ™πŸΌ

@2:09 I understand why it would have been nice for Hinata to have a moment with Naruto there, but I think one perspective is Sakura has been by Naruto's side for a long time and they have a much deeper friendship, and Sakura has never truly acknowledged or shown Naruto any respect/affection that he deserved, and so by her punching Naruto you are reminded of how their relationship always goes, but then juxtaposed with a tender and warming hug. It wasn't the worst thing imo, but i understand your frustration.

I think now would be a great time to try and stream on X (formerly Twitter) in order to boost up your profile on that platform and just so that once you get familiar with said platform it can serve as a backup for the future. X has plans to really get serious as a streaming platform this year so maybe now would be a good time to jump in while things are just getting off the ground.

We're so back

FeelsTimmyMan

Don't forget the same night he killed his clan Itachi put Sauske under Tsukuyomi, the Jutsu that put Kakashi out for a week. So his head was in a bad place for sure, anyone would go emo. Also thank you for posting these, the fact that most people skip them as 'filler' is a crime.

Jeffy G. Blum

There’s some speculation that Teuchi (Ramen guy) and Minato were on the same squad under Jiraiya based on a photo from the past and that’s why Teuchi always fed Naruto. The man prevented our boy from becoming a villain 😭😭

James

Her punshing Naruto also shouldn't be viewed as abusive or as a sign of her not caring for him. It's just a Japanese comedy trope, it's really not as serious as western people make it out to be.

Lighto San

I would take any Sakura scene in the anime with a grain of salt. Studio Pierrot added some scenes with Sakura that did not exist in the manga. I don't have any link handy, but if you do look it up, you will notice how Sakura does genuinely care for Naruto as a friend and a lot of her annoying scenes/dialogues never actually existed

Child neglector fr

DarthLinpaws

She just got home from a vacation, so she is trying to record and upload as much as possible as fast as she can. So yeah, the next few episodes should be coming in soon :) Also we have told her about the next OP so she will be watching it too. Thank you for bringing it up though.

DarthLinpaws

the lack of acknowledgement for Hinata gets me. pours her heart out, almost dies. basically gets ghosted after....

Travis Pike

Omg the banana! Lmao I love it

Alan

Really? πŸ₯Ί yeah maybe lol… the popular kids might not be able to understand and connect as much πŸ˜…

Jessica McCann

I was also bullied as a kid, i think this is a trend for people who really attach themselves to naruto lol

kinonikobii

I like sage mode makeup

Eliezzer

At this point it's probably worth looking into other options like Kick or maybe something like Restream if want to keep the door open for Twitch.

Revian

This is all canon, just extra anime add ons similar to what bleach is doing in tybw. Just not as direct, a lot of goof moments after the heartbreaks in pain arc

Tamel Tyrell

Im so happy you made it back, thank you for still making content even though Twitch is being weird!

Gary Oaks

I said it once, and said it twice. JUSTICE FOR FLEXIE! BOO TWITCH!

hoobity

Two more episodes. My favorite OP starts on 180. No spoilers in at all. Can't wait for you to react to it.

Mune Yotsuki

Everyone hates on Sakura for her punching Naruto but nobody cares that Tsunade did the exact same thing with Jiraiya. It’s out of familiarity, not out of hatred. Like when Ino yells at Choji or Shikamaru, it’s the same thing. You only get like that with someone you have a close bond to You’d smack your younger brother for doing something dumb or for making you worry. It’s like that

victoria t

3rd hokage did Naruto so dirty

victoria t

i hate the 3rd hokage flashback, YOU KNEW ALL THIS OLD MAN WHY DID YOU LET THE KID GROW UP REJECTED THEN, the adults in this village are just failures istg

Maxxy

Some episodes are filler, and some are mixed with canon.

Fio

I love seen naruto with you. All the chapters.... Is perfect.

Fio

Sasuke is Naruto's "best friend" from the Leaf - Shikamaru and Choji are Naruto's BEST friends from the Leaf

DietPop

Well, have been a twitch viewer for a while. As much as I know, you have to ask bigger streamers or a twitch staff that you know to help you get unbanned quicker. Gotta have connections you know

ROCJOSHUA

knew you would love this portion of episodes, especially these first 3 they are a great little story that adds precious substance and it works perfectly after what we have been through :) I can tell you its all canon, no specials or anything here, some bits here and there from were also in the manga, like Zetsu popping up :) what a throwback this is, they are really bringing us back to the good old days when the show started, perfect timing after we have reached the half way point :) now that Naruto is the hero of the village and everybody loves its fascinating to see and remember where he came from :) also more context to Iruka and his growth :) Kakashi gets a little cameo but steals the show classic :) Shikaku still best dad and Shikamaru best friend :)

Kisame

It's mostly an anime only thing, not in the manga. Mostly. Especially these episodes right here should be taken with a grain of salt. And it's not a stereotype. It's a joke because in Japan people can distinguish between fiction and reality. If Naruto had an issue with it he would voice it.

Lighto San

Stream on Kick! Stream on Kick!

Thomas ZΓΆllner

Yes, sakura punching naruto was so terrible... It ruined the whole thing for me. I hate this personality stereotype, it didn't age well.

JoΓ£o Barros

SO MHA S4 also off stream? Or are you waiting for an answer from Twitch?

RiShinMarco

It’s not apologist, it’s correcting a false narrative with facts. The animators misrepresent many scenes from the manga, that is a FACT The animators *ruined* key scenes and effectively changed certain characters. It sucks for those of us who actually read the manga

victoria t

Nah, it's the brute force of "facts".πŸ˜‰

Lighto San

Sounds like apologist rhetoric to me.

A1X

Yeah, the animators did Sakura dirty. They made her awful in certain filler eps, and they made the Sasuke/Sakura relationship in part 1 so one-sided by having Sasuke annoyed with her all the time, when in reality, the manga shows him usually blushing around her and caring for her. But the animators totally nuked this so all of her Sasuke affection comes off pathetic

victoria t

Bleach has Chair-sama, Naruto has Sad Swing-Sama. Truly they are powerful beyond measure

Ben

Sakura top, dont underestimated her

ДСнис ΠšΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠΌΠΈΠΉΡ‡ΡƒΠΊ

Good to have you back Flexie! Happy New Year!

Keane

Her "worst moment" isn't actually as bad as people make it out to be. People are just dumbasses who only view stuff like this on a surface level in that regard and this has been proven time and time again on Youtube. But we will get to *that* in the comments once the episode comes. No spoilers. Buuut...a lot of her bad moments (not talking about her so-called worst one here) and reasons why fans hate her are often anime only scenes because Studio Pierrot was really keen on making Sakura look terrible and uplifting Hinata as much as possible. That is also one of the reasons why Manga only readers usually have a *much* better opinion of Sakura in comparison to anime watchers. Talking about stuff the anime added i.e. non canon material in order to justify Sakura hate is, at the very least, questionable. And yes. Even canon episodes often do include filler scenes, this is a known issue with Naruto and Sakura suffers greatly for it in the eyes of the fandom. There is also the anime only issue of terrible pacing. Like for example, the 4 Tails Naruto VS Orochimaru fight takes extremely long in the anime while in the Manga it's over fairly quickly. That makes it seem like Sakura is just sitting around doing nothing for an eternity while in the manga it feels like just a few minutes have passed. And the anime is full of issues like that. And yes, she didn't like Naruto when she was a 12 year old girl. What do you expect? She was a 12 year old girl living in a village in which every grown up hates Naruto. Of course she orientates herself on the adults surrounding her, like her parents for example. That's completely normal and it's honestly amazing how quickly she changed her mind about Naruto even though the village taught her to hate him.

Lighto San

Shikaku, Shikamaru, Iruka & Kakashi all GOATs

victoria t

I'm a certified Sakura hater going on 20 years. Ain't nothing changing my world view. @Victoria t - Her worst moment is in Shippuden and Flexy hasn't even seen it yet. That's all I'll say.

A1X

Sakura hate is so forced. She’s a totally different person from how she was in OG, she’s grown so much. But people can’t let go of how she was at 12, as if Naruto wasn’t as annoying too

victoria t

A lot of these scenes are mixed canon with filler

victoria t

Sakura haters are some the most braindead part of this fandom.

Matt Brock

All my homies hate Sakura. But don't worry, she'll give you more reason to hate her πŸ˜‰
