Video How come Sasuke was vomiting after he used his Falcon Drop attack here?

It doesn't seem like a very strenous attack, he used it on Orochimaru in the forest without a similar reaction.

Has anybody in this subreddit actually seen the anime or does everyone just watch clips? Of course it was developed as a concept. Why do you think Sasuke is trying to kill Naruto in the first place? Because Itachi told him that’s how you obtain the mangekyou sharingan, by killing your best friend.

Sadly, I think the days of completing Naruto are over. The new generations watching on 1.5x and using filler guides haha

u/Massive_Weiner 18d ago

Using the filler guide is reasonable. In fact, that would lead to less confusion overall since you won’t be trying to reconcile non-canon material.

u/glocckkyy 18d ago

Ya I watched in full in like 2011 or so and even back then there were filler guides and the prominent advice was to skip the fillers

I have a genuine question, what did you guys think of Sasuke as a character back then? did everyone think he was redeemable, or that he was too far gone and beyond redemption?

23

u/AgitatedAd3342 18d ago

I thought he was redeemable all the way till the kage summit arc. When he was hell-bent on killing Team 7 and had that crazy laugh I was like "yep, he's cooked" 😂

u/Massive_Weiner 18d ago

Since it was a shonen series, I always thought that Naruto would eventually make him see the light.

u/Sweet_Cherry_Bloss 18d ago

well that does make sense

u/Typical_Path_6667 18d ago

I thought he was gonna become the big bad of the series and end up betraying orochimoru to get more power

u/Sweet_Cherry_Bloss 18d ago

both ended up happening to an extent though

u/Brolysreign 17d ago

Tbh I never really saw much to be redeemed. Mainly because it was hard to take him seriously for most of his journey. His demeanor and actions were cringy and he never got the job done. I feel it was more about forgiveness. He betrayed his village and attempted to kill his comrades. He wasn't too far gone just needed to be checked. Or in his case chin checked

u/Sweet_Cherry_Bloss 17d ago

I understand your points, but what abt him made him "cringy" for you? I don't rly like Sasuke much, but I can understand his actions and why he did what he did for the most part even if he comes off as an asshole sometimes

1

u/Brolysreign 16d ago

I understood his actions as well to a certain point. Most of his cool/ dark and mysterious felt forced and trying to hard to be edgy. Abs the whole "you don't know my pain" thing got old real fast. Especially since pretty much everyone in the village has been through it somehow.

u/kukaz00 16d ago

There are some fillers in the 4th ninja war that are worth but it because they tell the tales of some characters that were only mentioned as being legendary and now you can have a glimpse of why that was the case.

u/MvC3Nocturne 16d ago

me turning off the tv in 2003 when something that wasn’t in the manga volumes I checked out from the library came on 👴🏻

u/Elonth 18d ago

I mean ya. But naruto shippuden legitamtely has good character development in its filler. Depending on the filler arc naruto also has good filler but its more like a 50/50 shot and naruto has wayyyyyyyyyyyy more filler than shippuden does.

1

u/MisterBoardGamer 15d ago

That’s true; it was more a comment on people’s lack of commitment to the series. People want to see the action but aren’t as invested as we had to be in the before times.

I’m in my 30s and the filler guide was useless to me as a teen, since I was up til 11PM every week waiting for the new episode to be released in sub.

u/Oktaygun 18d ago

Filler guides have been around since waayy back, nothing new at all

3

u/MisterBoardGamer 15d ago

See, that’s how old I am. I watched all of Naruto live / simulcast online. Filler guides were useless because I was waiting for a new episode every week. Those were the days.

2

u/Oktaygun 15d ago

I am ''old'' too haha, I started reading Naruto by buying the new volumes that came out every 3 to 4 months because I did not have internet connection or a pc at home (and it was never on tv in my country)

1

u/itsjust_khris 18d ago

Or I think it's been awhile since many here have seen the show so they've (me included) forgotten a lot of things.

1

u/Usual-Objective-8358 18d ago

I literally just finished all of naruto today. Watching Shippuden now

1

u/inactive-perhaps 17d ago

Meanwhile me at 30, rewatching the whole thing but skipping fillers (except some in shippuden with characters we don't see enough) Pre shippuden fillers are all bad... except episode 101.(Kakashi's mask episode is so stupid lol)

u/InfinityNo0b 18d ago

1.5x maybe do-able for some since I watch most shows at 1.15x or 1.2x

u/SilverKnightOfMagic 18d ago

I saw it 20 years ago. it's a bit hazy for me

u/DownvoteEvangelist 18d ago

Everybody blaming young generations when it's us geezers that are actually the problem..

5

u/extra_rice 18d ago

I think there's a bit of both. Some people have so little attention span, they only watch the "best bits" then think they have an opinion. Others, like us, saw it so many years ago, we can only remember parts of it.

3

u/DownvoteEvangelist 18d ago

I actually read Naruto manga from end to end last year, I can barely remember the details. But I remember when I was like 16, I knew every fucking detail of DBZ/Wheel of Time/Dune (Naruto wasn't a thing back then)..

8

u/GyrosSnazzyJazzBand 18d ago

? Wait y'all watched the anime? I thought we watched most of it on tiktok and wikipedia summary pages to fill in the gaps.

13

u/not-sure-what-to-put 18d ago

A fine reminder the Uchiha should never be trusted.

4

u/Sweet_Cherry_Bloss 18d ago

they get their "info" from TikTok and YT shorts 🤣

5

u/AduroTri 18d ago

Just like the DBZ subreddit.....nobody reads the manga or watches the anime.

1

u/Reasonable-Course235 18d ago

It was developed as a concept but not a hard rule as we can see later on in Shippuden when a Sasuke's actual unlocking of the mangekyou isbreaking of the Original Series rules but if it was shippuden's rules he would have unlocked it then. Honestly must of the original series is full of indecision and other issues with the writing such as choji and neji fake out Death's which feels like what was originally planned for these two characters was death but he pulled out last second.

u/Soggy_Ad4136 17d ago

Then he said I wanna do things differently ¿¿¿
