Naruto #27 Reaction - Early Access!

For part 1 Sakura, the story acknowledges several times that she’s useless and the little she wins she gets, she can’t even do it on her own. The story very much puts intentionally puts her that and up until the first arc in shippuden. It’s a cohesive story arc. Rn Sakura is still half assing. She doesn’t even want to become a shinobi. Just because she’s useless in part 1 doesn’t make it bad especially considering she’s in only 1 arc and half.

Kingjasco

Lmao Gang signs and Prayers

Kingjasco

That's literally what they do. Haha.

Johan Liebert

Nah.

Johan Liebert

Rightfully so. The pacing is bad and I don't care if the rest of the crew like it.

Johan Liebert

Simp.

Johan Liebert

Nah.

Johan Liebert

@Charlie Henriksson Nah, we'll keep asking until they do.

Johan Liebert

@Cory Ng Nah, we'll keep asking until they do.

Johan Liebert

@Jack Mapstone. Nah, we'll keep asking until they do.

Johan Liebert

It's always your fault for accepting the hype. Stop being a fanboy.

Johan Liebert

If you really want to experience the same thing we did back then, watch the fillers too. Also, in what world does shortening something from 5 years to 2,5 years count as binging? Stop being stubborn and do two reactions in a week already.

Johan Liebert

yeah their avatar did that and somehow that made them not want to do that again. i wonder why though its 48minutes not more than regular live action episode show times. But 1 episode a week works too.

Charlie Henriksson

I love nauto!

Julia Macleod

Shane <3

Katzennahrung

@Medunuuu :D right? i think at least 6 years :D i dont think any of us will be here i hope at least they will be still here and have even bigger success but i hope i will be not here because i will have real life :D :D

MihoKiryu

Not the whole reaction, just their reaction to the song.

Bryan Matola

soooo slowwww

Dboy

The new opening song is much better and one of the best anime openings ever... Guys are just biased because they made a "bit" out of the terrible first opening.

n p

Glad to see Eric is open to the song change, in the American release we didn’t even have Rocks, we had Rise, Power! and that lasted for the first 52 episodes before switching to this new song (Haruka Kanata). Lots of people like Rise, Power! better than Rocks, but I think a lot of that is nostalgia, kind of like Rock the Dragon for DBZ

Matthew Elijah Brown

I was thinking we would get THE fight as a christmas present but I think its a few weeks off.

Lairdom

Skip the reaction? If your worried their gonna trash on it I hope you know it’s only jokes because of their attachment to the first one and Eric even compliments it. Plus they barely even talk about it enough to rag on it. I wouldn’t skip but you can do what you want.

YaBoiBrandon

They’ll (some of them) probably come around on it. They are just really attached to the first one

YaBoiBrandon

Before I even start the video, very happy to see Shane’s back!!!

Matthew Elijah Brown

I agree! Best naruto Op and they act like they don't give it even a second lol. But it was funny to see nevertheless. I guess the moral is not to go into reaction videos expecting them to react like you did. :)

MelanieRS

I wish they like the song but I find it hilarious they don't like it. As someone who loved the song growing up this is an oddly refreshing reaction to it for me. After all, they aren't watching this at the ages we watched it.

Arimpact

Yooooooo welcome back Shane

Blackwing007

You're posting cringe

AnEnthusiasticKoala

This is one anime that I seen over and over and Naruto's story is one of the most important and beautiful story telling for an anime for me. I'm trying watching Naruto the blindwave way watching it once a week. I never done it that way. I love the zabuza arc even more now. But I like the chunin exam arc even better.

Chase Gardner

Agreed

He is going to struggle with this show then lol

Also yay 7 more months till the best fight in naruto

chris crookham

I actually appreciate how much they want more from Sakura and don’t just write her off 😭

DAki

Sakura doesnt see chakra she has excellent chakra control and book knowledge. seeing chakra is a whole different thing

chris crookham

They may be similar but the Chunin exams beats Hunter exams every time...just saying

DAki

hah, the funeral you had at the end for the old op was sweet

Herberderber

"If it takes the next year of our lives to get through this exam..." Me: "A little more, actually"

GoldArthur

happy you back Shane :)

MihoKiryu

they will not react to aot final season trailer they dont want to be spoiled

MihoKiryu

yeah thats true

Brian R

Given how much its gives away simply in character design and general story direction they've be warned to avoid it, so even if a dub version comes out they likely won't watch it so they can go into S4 completely Blind

GoFree4

ty for letting me know, i almost got my hopes up for it

Brian R

They won’t get to this point for years. You could probably tell them this & they’ll probably forget when it does happen

Medunuuu

The whole genin family is back together in the wavecave! To watch more Naruto! Believe it!!

Chase Gardner

To AB, I didn't cut them listening to it. I included excerpts of their reactions to it because I can't include the whole thing on Youtube under Fair Use.

Ryan Hopkins

Lol true

DAki

Eric has the right idea. Kishimoto literally writes all his female characters into dirt. Their only focus is men and that’s it. Ive also noticed that the girls in Naruto can never win their own battles solo. In one of his interviews Kishimoto was asked why Sakura never played a bigger role (something like that) and he jokingly said ‘she’s just a girl’.....that speaks volumes to me.

DAki

Lmao Sakura is a shit character in both Naruto and Shippuden. The same goes for pretty much every other female character as well, excluding Tsnuade.

AnEnthusiasticKoala

alright thanks, never realized that😭

Brian R

They only react to dub.

Gavin Mcfadden

one of the best opening next to fighting dreamers and calvin walks away and doesnt see the genin guitar show off which is pretty epic for an opening at the same time i'm glad shane is back

Pucki

Lol the opening reaction was kinda funny but reading the comments about it is funnier.

DAki

Seems like Calvin is the only one who has a real problem with the shonen pacing. All of them know its not great but Aaron loves taking its time watching something, Eric just kind of ignores it, and Shane and Rick truly grew up with japanese videogame pacing.

Bekss

Also to Note Sakura is not a main character. She is main supporting character, she’s in the same category as Neji and Shikamaru. She is only in one and a half arcs for the whole this first Naruto series.

Kingjasco

I don’t think she was written badly in part 1. I think her issues are in part 2

Kingjasco

so they only react to dub trailers?

Brian R

I don’t know if the Dub version of the trailer came out

Lawliet

I thought about this when Shane brings up Haku. Oh, How I loved that character

HIM

random question but did they react to atot finale season trailer?

Brian R

SHANE'S BACK!!! YEEAAHH! YEEAAHH! The balance has been restored 🐱‍👓👍EDIT:🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Eric and Calvin walking away at the same time, without even looking at each other had me DED lmao! Holy shit, that was funny 😂👍 and even if this OP doesn't grow on them, they're gonna LOVE LOVE LOVE sambomaster 👍 Believe it!

HIM

Sakura was written badly in Naruto, the things she does in the chunin exams are pretty boring and doesn't add any character growth. A lot better in Shippuden and has one of the best arcs.

Timmytoby

Two episodes a week for a 130 episode, 20 minute show is far from binging. I think it's a good compromise to satisfy fans while still keeping the reactions going over at least a few years, especially with Shippuden

Shane

The new opening will grow on them guys, they didn't necessarily dislike the opening they just disliked the change from the old one.

Coco

I'm sure it'll grow on them XD

Coco

I think it's more missing the old OP than disliking the new one. Give it time, folks. Give it time. They got really, really attached to the old one (and you might not always see *how* attached unless you have full length). That said, this OP was definitely my favorite as a kid. :D

JojoInSpace

The Zabuza arc is the only arc that's been completed so far, so that's a weird question to ask.

GoldArthur

Well, they've been dreading a change and loving OP 1 (surprisingly) for weeks and weeks now, so I was expecting this. :D I'm sure (some of them) will get around to it eventually.

JojoInSpace

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't like the 2nd opening, but I also get it.

GoldArthur

this show is pretty much full send from this point forward. Excited for the next year

Scrimshaw

The thing is at this point Sakura is not that interested or motivated to be a ninja. So while she has some good points that she could use better. Being a ninja is not her priority. Over the course of this first part of the series, that’s her arc essentially. Sakura can’t be useful until she chooses to be useful, she has to make a conscious effort whereas right now she’s just a passenger and is only really interested in Sasuke

Kingjasco

Loads of people want them to do 2 or more episodes a week but it's never going to happen

Gazille

I’m glad I read the comments. This intro got me so pumped as a kid. Now I know to skip.

Bryan Matola

One of the iconic Naruto opening next to Fighting Dreamers

Golisopod95

SPOILERS FOR SHIPPUDEN cant wait for the ressurection jutsu to kick in and they be like: who is this. did we see them before?

Nilexinator

Pretty much. Then she won’t do something else until shippuden

VanguardDuelist

One thing, and then another thing, then a minor third thing. She does exactly one thing for each arc left in the Chunin exams.

Bryan Matola

Every week, I look forward to your new synonym!

Cory Ng

Don’t worry Eric. Sakura will get to do stuff during this arc.

VanguardDuelist

And it’s not gonna happen. They tried doing that in the past and it doesn’t work, so we only get one.

Jack Mapstone

Lads 2 episodes a week would be superb!

Votten

It's 26 episodes in. What is serious about this show so far? Besides the Zabuza stuff which they took seriously.

KevinFromNewYork

Not gonna lie that was a bizarre reaction to the best naruto op. And that's why you don't hype certain things up folks.

Ruben Lopez

They always get too attached to the first openings and dont like the next one for a few weeks. I can imagine the people's rage when they didnt like it right away

Bekss

Fr tho the second op is perhaps my favorite

John T

A little sad they didn't like this opening. This one is probably my favorite from the original naruto series, and is super nostalgic to me from when I was younger.

James Sibonga

Abide

Welcome back Shane!

Paris Williams

It will happen literally every time for the next few weeks. Wish the editor didn’t cut out them listening to it again!

Able

It bothers me how much they dislike the first good intro
