@@GoldFamilyReactionslmao odd indeed. You are blessed to have this relationship with your mom. I absolutely admire the fact that she takes the time to show interests in what you like. Till this day I still pray for someone to watch anime with.
@Sky_Mech lol every comment always has that one person who disagrees.....we have a particular set of skills, we will find you and we will avenge Sir Lee
Growing up is realizing people have different opinions 😂 itachi and sasuke were my goats more so itachi also wish zabuza got more screentime , but Lee was nice too just can't take his looks serious 😂
Nah, Obito and Kakashi feel the most like actual shinobi would be IRL, despite later's detrimental popularity. I would count Danzo too, but I haven't seen much of him on field like those two.
This is one of the times I feel the plot armour point is not fair. We see these characters withstand some crazy stuff and Lee was obviously not trying to kill Gaara. This was his first time using the 4th Gate in a real fight, so obviously his body was unprepared for using it as effectively as in Shippuden. At the end of the fight, Gaara was grounded and Lee could barely walk. It's obvious the guy whose jutsu can be used without moving would win in that position. Lee probably could've opened Gate 5, but this isn't supposed to be a death match, so he tried to only use the minimum power he needed.
Nah I really don't think Lee could have beat Gaara. If you consider how much further Gaara can still go and the abilities he doesn't use in this fight, Lee's loss was inevitable. He also had no reason to go beyond the fourth gate to fight Gaara so him using the fifth gate was purely a reckless decision. That's not a dig on Lee though, none of the other Genin in the room would have been able to beat Gaara either
@@VelvetAura Totally disagree, lee is by far the strongest genin, as the author choose (wrongly for the plot) to make him that way. He destroys gaara easily with the gates you can see that his power is way too strong and his speed... he is so fast that kakashi needed sharingan to see, others couldn't even see him. Quoting gaara's words " is that the moves of a human" being lost in the sauce against a way stronger opponent. I mean gaara was getting rolled every time lee was on the offense but he get saved miraculously everytime. The plot armor is really visible on this one and appears twice, first time is the substitution jutsu (which is kishimoto's most used plot device pre timeskip, this is not the unique case) on the omote renge. The second one if making it as if the lotus damage was just "fall damage" and just making him fall on sand would nullify that, while he punched and kicked gaara with crazy power that would have killed anyone, but hey that doesn't count obviously.

I got my mom to watch Naruto, she made it all the way to the end of the Pain arc before she passed away, some awesome memories being able to talk to her about Naruto. This series is awesome
confession, it was Naruto that stopped me from deleting myself. (you tube) I'm in a good place now, i heard of a series that had Naruto, and souskes kids. i was like wtf!? i watched naruto front to back and all the filer shipudden, up to boruto. i decided to stick around. (took 2 months)
Lee is regarded as one of the greatest characters in anime. His arc is so awesome people conflate it with the purpose of the show itself. To persevere through the sheer brutality of life despite a mediocre existence is nothing short of inspirational. Lee's character is greater than almost every single anime protagonist, hell, almost any character in fiction. Lee is a character that is initially humorous but then becomes so incredibly serious at the same time and it resonates with anyone who has ever felt inadequate or struggled to become something better than they are. That's what makes this one of the greatest fights in anime. It just hits so goddamn hard.
It really shouldn’t surprise anyone. Lee is modeled after Bruce Lee. He’s one of my favorite characters. He’s just a bad mofo. He has a couple great fights. I love the sparring match between him and Naruto at the end of the series.
in the japanese dub the condition to take of the weights was to protect "the lives of a large group of people", so that would explain why lee didn't do so in the forest
@@jdollasign8629 I mean to be honest Gaara with perfect defense got his ass kicked (but won) the kids in Forest without this kind of defense just imagine the amount of broken bones
Shout out to your mum for taking an interest in something her son is passionate about and being able to share these moments together. If only more parents did this and took the time to understand and share what their kids were interested in. Love to see it.
Dude... This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I feel compelled to tell you how extremely lucky you are. I can't tell you how much that I would love to experience, let alone record a video where I enjoy even one episode of my favorite anime with one of my parents. Cherish this woman with all of your heart.
As a father that has raised his son on anime, video games, movies, and music.. nothing tops the conversations we had while sharing these moments. What a great way to spend time together and share something that you both appreciate. Also def agree, if this show wasn’t about Naruto.. Lee would def carry it!!
We are so very, very sorry for your loss. We deeply appreciate you joining us on this crazy ride and are glad you are enjoying. Take good care of yourself and have a good weekend.
That phrase “sometimes the surest way to hit something is stop trying to hit it” made no sense as a kid but I get it now. It’s like when you try hard at something, but sometimes the best thing is to walk away from it and return later. Somehow bam like magic you improve at it. I’ve experienced that many times with different things and I still don’t really understand it but it just is.
It's because humans are ritualistic. We do the same things often and don't realize it. When we're actively looking for thingswe are interrupting that pattern for a reason. But if we can't find something, we'll often run across it again if we just allow ourselves to do our patterns
@GoroWren my hearing is realy good bc i like to do voice impressions in order for me to qant to do voice acting as well i have to be able to listen and tells different pitches apart somewhat
"I don't wanna give up on Lee, I cant!" Bro hug your mom and never let go! 💜 Edit: I got to the end of the video an saw you tearing up too at the same time i was. First video I've watched but you got my sub man💜
I think what makes the lee vs gaara fight so emotional was how guy was willing to help lee become the best which both helped lee grow but also lead to his downfall causing him to push himself to the point where he ultimately destroyed his chances of becoming a ninja 😢
Well said, i dont know if youve seen Kung Fu panda, but that kind of reminds me of tai lung, the last speech he gave, he told shifu, you trained mw till my bones cracked,
no, it's fucking kishimoto being a douche and only giving spotlight to naruto and sasuke for shippuden. Easily could have given everyone else their chance at spotlight, did not need to retire lee.
@@Soyokaze404-yc1dt facts, which is why 90% of shippuden where naruto is on screen is skippable, they made the whole story focus on him when the only interesting things happening where the characters around him and their stories, hence why sasuke became a better character than naruto in shippuden and stole the show literally 400 episodes of naruto being an obsessed weird fan girl who can't accept his friend doesn't want to chill with him anymore, meanwhile tsunade and the rest of the leaf village are putting all the children in the villages lives as risk to entertain narutos delusion gay obsession with sasuke
@@ANUBASSTheir destiny is literally linked. lol Outside of the accidental kiss, there’s nothing “gay” going on at all.. What else do you find gay? I’m curious. 👀
Great reaction. It’s always cool to watch anime with your parents. I actually got my Dad to watch three episodes of Hajime No Ippo with me yesterday and he’s not even an anime fan. 🔥🔥
This takes me back to when I was a little kid asking my mom for the Rock Lee toy at Walmart 😂 It’s crazy cause despite the fact he lost, this fight cemented him as my favorite anime character ever 😂
He didn't really need it in the Forest though, he didn't lose because he was too slow, but because he was unprepared for the Sound Trio's ninjutsu. Dosu was cooked if Zaku didn't create a cushion in the ground.
What I hate most about this fight is that Gaara's "sand armor" could never actually protect against the kind of blunt force Lee was putting out. Because the sand is making contact with his body, the force would still transfer through. The lotus technique where he was kicking Gaara into the air over and over, that by itself would have ruptured all the organs in his chest cavity and killed him.
You got the best mom bro i have watch this fight over and over and over still made me watch bc of ur mom and it made me cry again 😢 Lee and Guy bonding are so wholesome just sad cuz they made him a side character and even nerf him..
"I don't wanna give up on Lee." Nobody wants to give up on Lee. That's why he's such a beloved character. Lee earns every inch of progress he makes with hard work and determination. He's the most inspiring character in the show so when he gets beat down it hurts even more.
aw man, this is the first i'm watching one of youir vids... so nice to see a parent taking interest in their childern interests, even more so when it comes to anime lol. very wholesome, and i like your edits, seeing that you want to get better i'm sure you'll be grate soon enough. much luck to ya
I started crying the moment I heard Guy talking because I knew he was going to call him a genius of effort. Its my favorite scene and it breaks me every time.
This is so cool. As a 31 year old dad always looking for ways to connect with my kiddo, I look forward to rewatching her favorite shows with her now. Thanks for the idea
Rewatching this as a parent now, hits even harder than before. Pair this with the amazing acoustic soundtrack when Kakashi is talking to Naruto around 24:00 chef’s kiss
I love this kind of content I don’t have to rewatch the shows and just watch the best stuff alongside your mom. It’s like watching it with a friend I always watched Naruto alone. So this new TH-cam reaction content is so amazing. I hope to one day share this show with someone
I love it! This is my first time watching your channel and your mom is great! I watched all of Naruto and Shippuden with my mom aswell and it took us 3-4 years. Even during my military service time, she visited the city near where I was stationed for a week once (mostly for herself to get out of her work stress at the time and she loved that city). She took long walks through the old city and spent time reading the bible during the day and every evening I came over from my baracks, we got some asian food and we binched half of the war arc in shippuden in her hotel room in one week. Those were some great times. I moved out 2 years ago, but everey second or third sunday afternoon I visit and we keep watching Boruto now (and many other anime). Idk what it is with moms and anime, but it's a perfect match somehow, especially for the Naruto series.
I show my mom different anime clips sometimes, and this is really heart warming. Your mom is cool. Show her the first time luffy uses haki after showing how goofy he is prior
Thanks! I’m still unsure if I’ll show her “clips” of stuff, but if I were to show her some, it’d prolly have to be for something we’d never watch, like boruto or something, whereas we’ll probably get to op someday! I appreciate the suggestion tho 💛💛
To be honest, the dub isn't horrible, but certain character's mannerisms become exponentially more annoying when translated to English and paired with mediocre voice acting that is either over or underexaggerated or awkward. Naruto's saying "Believe it" is a little bit of a meme by itself, as it sounds suuuuper corny in English, but "Dattebayo" in the sub version sounds like it belongs and is actually a cherished part of the character, partly because the Japanese voice actors were absolutely perfect imo. It's hard to match the original in quality.
I personally think it’s more about which you watched first in some cases. When I watched sub, I couldn’t focus on anything else besides how much he said datebayo, and it got annoying. It’s way more corny in English, but it has some charm, and isn’t nearly as invasive imo. Don’t get me wrong, there are some trash English performances like konohamaru, kankuro, and ino, but itachi, tobi, and pains voices ALONE are good enough for all the bad ones!
@GoldFamilyReactions definitely which one you watched first. The sub is just better quality all around but I got used to the dub and associate the characters with their dub voices, so the dissonance of hearing a different voice is uncomfortable
@GoldFamilyReactions I watched mostly subs but I can't watch shows that I watched dubbed as subbed. I watched all of dbz and inuyasha dubbed so now I can't handle the sub voices because they just aren't what I've connected with the colors. It works the other way around also, can't watch dubs after watching all of it dubbed. This show though I started dubbed but early on switched to subbed and I can only watch subbed now. The only English voices I don't hate are guy and Lee because they just seem to really fit them with the cheesiness
Knowing Gaaras backstory and rewatching this, seeing how much people cared for Lee and him learning he's not untouchable/undefeatable anymore. That might be one of the greatest character development moves
Oh Wow they even reply!!! 🥰🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Big fan here! Love seeing ya'll bond over some of my favorite shows. I also love the Vinland series with Dad, glad he's enjoying it! 😄 My personal recommendation for a show for Mom would be an anime called Mob Psycho 100. Idk if you've seen it already, but its an absolute banger. It has a TON of heart, amazing action scenes, & unbelievable animation sequences. Check it out! ;)
We reply when we can. I work a lot so don’t reply as often as I would like. Thank you for the recommendation and we may just have to check it out!! - ❤️Mom
@GoldFamilyReactions Well, at the rate this is going, maybe you won't have to work a year or so from now! 🎉 Your Son is really talented at making these kinds of videos, there's a HUGE audience for this sort of content on TH-cam. I actually can't believe ya'll are still hovering around 2k subs. The videos are so good, I definitely think this channel will grow to be huge, eventually you can slap some more advertisements on these vids and ya'll will certainly bring in some $$$. Best of luck & God bless ya'll! ✌🏼
Hyped? My man's, I subscribed just for this fight. Rock Lee standing back up with clouded over eyes was the exact second I knew I would watch anime for life. It came at the point I really needed it in middle school. Struggled mentally with esteem, and related to Lee's feelings (trade the jutsus for being on the spectrum though). 24 and the episode still makes me ugly cry every time I see it, but I've found a lot of strength since that first time.
I'm glad you brought your mom 😅 she is us the first time we view this. Although I was expecting her to cry because I how sad these moments are she's tougher than I gave her credit for. Also this is my first time viewing the videos so I have to go back and view the rest of it
I love how the running theme for Naruto is that the person who is looked down on can rise up and surprise you. Every character who is hated or mocked by people around them overcomes and shows that words of hate ARE words of ignorance. No spoilers from me, but I love that out of the 12, Lee is the first person Gara fights. I'm going to love watching you react to the introduction of a very ahem 😉 interesting teacher in the near future.
LOOOL I gotta fess up. In my edited version (the one we watch) I took out some of the overly “interesting” parts in order to protect my dear mother. 😅 definitely didnt remove it completely, but they went a lil overboard at some points 😬 should still be tons of fun either way🤠🤠
I have not read all of Kishimoto's interviews about his themes, but I have read as many as I could get my hands on. Based on his words, it seems as though the series message revolves around war and understanding. He took great inspiration from his Grandfather(who I believe is a veteran), who talks about past wars he survived. Tailed Beast are supposed to represent nuclear weapons. the "Cycle of Hatred" that was born from war is suppose to be an obstacle to understanding others. Naruto connects to and learns from/ teaches others using "Talk no Jutsu". You can find evidence of this theme through the reason Naruto created his ninja way(chapter 33 and 43) as well as the antagonist that reflects Naruto himself.
Hey guys! I just wanna clarify, for most of the segments we talked over, we rewinded to hear what they said. There’s only so much of the show I can get in the vid due to copyright, so if you’d like to hear/watch the cut segments (without my silly editing) they’re on Patreon. The first 100 paid patrons will forever pay $1/month! 💛 Either way, thanks for joining us! www.patreon.com/GoldFamilyReactions?
by the end of Shippuden she's going to be 100 years old lol i edited this what im trying to say if you dont get it im trying to say is it took her 5 months to watch 40 episodes imagine 800 lol
I think in the original Dub he says "I thought I could only remove them when protecting a large group of very important people." The reason he didn't use it before was because he didn't deem the situation important enough.
Damn I cried at the end. Gets me every time. I always watch Rock Lee vs Gaara when I feel low or defeated in life. Just like Lee I had no talent or good at anything I tried, but just like him working hard paid off and then I showed the world what I'm truly made off. P.S. your mom is so cool
my first encounter with any anime ever was tuning into adult swim on these 2 episodes back to back when i was 15. thank GOD my parents were out of town. naruto may not be my favorite anime but this fight and rock lee's story will forever hold a place in my heart. i cry every time. DX

Philosopher Lee is never wrong!!
It's because humans are ritualistic. We do the same things often and don't realize it. When we're actively looking for thingswe are interrupting that pattern for a reason. But if we can't find something, we'll often run across it again if we just allow ourselves to do our patterns

Think it has something to do with the way our brains are wired. Being laser focused and letting your brain wonder are both beneficial.

Lee and Guy have enough passion to carry the show in my humble opinion
Thats a fact
This takes me back to when I was a little kid asking my mom for the Rock Lee toy at Walmart 😂
It’s crazy cause despite the fact he lost, this fight cemented him as my favorite anime character ever 😂
4:03 "so he can just stay in there and take a nap?" Pretty much yeah, people HAVE tried to jump him in his sleep too, shits impossible 😂
🤣🤣 - Mom
He didn't really need it in the Forest though, he didn't lose because he was too slow, but because he was unprepared for the Sound Trio's ninjutsu. Dosu was cooked if Zaku didn't create a cushion in the ground.
Good observation!
What I hate most about this fight is that Gaara's "sand armor" could never actually protect against the kind of blunt force Lee was putting out. Because the sand is making contact with his body, the force would still transfer through. The lotus technique where he was kicking Gaara into the air over and over, that by itself would have ruptured all the organs in his chest cavity and killed him.
Shhh don’t spit facts the weebs will hear
@@GoldFamilyReactions true, I guess we can chalk it up to some chi nonsense xD
Even if it did contact him he still had a tailed beast to fall back on and save him, gaara was never losing this fight.
@@Bananasforthesoul you don't have to tell me that
Daww this was wholesome af. Loved that she got teary eyed for Lee like we all did at one point. Lee has inspired me for over 20 years now.
We are so you are with us ❤️ - Mom
I LOVE THIS!!! Protect your mom at all cost. Shes more precious then per sage. 🖤🖤🖤
You got the best mom bro i have watch this fight over and over and over still made me watch bc of ur mom and it made me cry again 😢 Lee and Guy bonding are so wholesome just sad cuz they made him a side character and even nerf him..
Another amazing reaction!
love mom’s “do not Disturb” shirt too!
Thanks so much for joining us! ❤️-Mom
Your lucky you have a mom that puts in the effort of taking interest in your interest. 99 percent of parents dont do that.
The OST in this fight is S-Tier. Sadness and Sorrow hits hard here but Lee's theme when he does Hidden Lotus is the chef's kiss.
I'm glad this young buck knows the truth. These anime fights in Naruto live in my soul rent free
You see in Shippuden that Naruto and Lee get along better than most of the MC’s. Which is so well written because they are so similar
Your mom is gold ❤
I love the Lee's drawing behind XD
"emotional damage" I like that haha 😹
I love when u ask ur mom u know what this is or means, she like no but I'm ready!
when y’all both started to tear up at the Lee flash backs, I started to cry again. Also W mom!!
,,take off his backpack, goddamn you'r a genius'' killed me 😂😂😂😂
You guys are adorable :p Lucky to have a mom that will watch anime with you!
"I don't wanna give up on Lee."
Nobody wants to give up on Lee. That's why he's such a beloved character. Lee earns every inch of progress he makes with hard work and determination. He's the most inspiring character in the show so when he gets beat down it hurts even more.
Except in shipudden…. Everyone gave up on him 😭
I loved this mom and son relationship ❤ keep bringing more vids😊
One should be coming today if copyright would stop killing me 💛😆
Your mom is cool af, you better be giving her a hug every day.
aw man, this is the first i'm watching one of youir vids... so nice to see a parent taking interest in their childern interests, even more so when it comes to anime lol. very wholesome, and i like your edits, seeing that you want to get better i'm sure you'll be grate soon enough. much luck to ya
I started crying the moment I heard Guy talking because I knew he was going to call him a genius of effort. Its my favorite scene and it breaks me every time.
This is so cool. As a 31 year old dad always looking for ways to connect with my kiddo, I look forward to rewatching her favorite shows with her now. Thanks for the idea
Never clicked so fast in my life!
Was not disappointed either!
Rock Lee will always be a champion in my eyes 💚
I loved seeing mom react, thanks for sharing!
Rewatching this as a parent now, hits even harder than before. Pair this with the amazing acoustic soundtrack when Kakashi is talking to Naruto around 24:00 chef’s kiss
This was adorable :) I've been trying to get my mom to watch anime and am sending her your videos.
It is so sweet to see her reactions!!
I love this kind of content I don’t have to rewatch the shows and just watch the best stuff alongside your mom. It’s like watching it with a friend I always watched Naruto alone. So this new TH-cam reaction content is so amazing. I hope to one day share this show with someone
I love it! This is my first time watching your channel and your mom is great! I watched all of Naruto and Shippuden with my mom aswell and it took us 3-4 years. Even during my military service time, she visited the city near where I was stationed for a week once (mostly for herself to get out of her work stress at the time and she loved that city). She took long walks through the old city and spent time reading the bible during the day and every evening I came over from my baracks, we got some asian food and we binched half of the war arc in shippuden in her hotel room in one week. Those were some great times.
I moved out 2 years ago, but everey second or third sunday afternoon I visit and we keep watching Boruto now (and many other anime). Idk what it is with moms and anime, but it's a perfect match somehow, especially for the Naruto series.
What a great story and thank you for your service!! ❤️ -Mom
Mom's a real one for backing Lee from the jump.
Choji instantly caught lacking 😂😂
Yall are so wholesome. Awesome video!
I show my mom different anime clips sometimes, and this is really heart warming. Your mom is cool. Show her the first time luffy uses haki after showing how goofy he is prior
Thanks! I’m still unsure if I’ll show her “clips” of stuff, but if I were to show her some, it’d prolly have to be for something we’d never watch, like boruto or something, whereas we’ll probably get to op someday! I appreciate the suggestion tho 💛💛
This is wholesome and wonderful. Thank you for bringing us into your family time.
And thank you for sharing with us ❤️-Mom
Mama Gold needs to be protected at all costs. Loving her reactions!
God damnit this is wholesome as hell... you're gonna look back on this in 20 years man. Keep it up.
6:33 Lee probably thinks no one is going to get killed in these exams
This is so sweet, naruto has made me cry so many times, seeing you watch it with your mother is beautiful
To be honest, the dub isn't horrible, but certain character's mannerisms become exponentially more annoying when translated to English and paired with mediocre voice acting that is either over or underexaggerated or awkward. Naruto's saying "Believe it" is a little bit of a meme by itself, as it sounds suuuuper corny in English, but "Dattebayo" in the sub version sounds like it belongs and is actually a cherished part of the character, partly because the Japanese voice actors were absolutely perfect imo. It's hard to match the original in quality.
I personally think it’s more about which you watched first in some cases. When I watched sub, I couldn’t focus on anything else besides how much he said datebayo, and it got annoying. It’s way more corny in English, but it has some charm, and isn’t nearly as invasive imo. Don’t get me wrong, there are some trash English performances like konohamaru, kankuro, and ino, but itachi, tobi, and pains voices ALONE are good enough for all the bad ones!
@GoldFamilyReactions definitely which one you watched first. The sub is just better quality all around but I got used to the dub and associate the characters with their dub voices, so the dissonance of hearing a different voice is uncomfortable
@GoldFamilyReactions I watched mostly subs but I can't watch shows that I watched dubbed as subbed. I watched all of dbz and inuyasha dubbed so now I can't handle the sub voices because they just aren't what I've connected with the colors. It works the other way around also, can't watch dubs after watching all of it dubbed. This show though I started dubbed but early on switched to subbed and I can only watch subbed now. The only English voices I don't hate are guy and Lee because they just seem to really fit them with the cheesiness
They could do really good english dubs though if they weren't so cheap
Na dawg dattebayo is more of a meme than Naruto saying believe it 💀
Knowing Gaaras backstory and rewatching this, seeing how much people cared for Lee and him learning he's not untouchable/undefeatable anymore. That might be one of the greatest character development moves
I LOVE this channel God bless your family, be well, &keep making this content :) Your Mom is so sweet & hilarious! 😆
Awe thank you so much and thank you for joining us ❤️ - Mom
Oh Wow they even reply!!! 🥰🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃🙂 Big fan here! Love seeing ya'll bond over some of my favorite shows. I also love the Vinland series with Dad, glad he's enjoying it! 😄
My personal recommendation for a show for Mom would be an anime called Mob Psycho 100. Idk if you've seen it already, but its an absolute banger. It has a TON of heart, amazing action scenes, & unbelievable animation sequences. Check it out! ;)
We reply when we can. I work a lot so don’t reply as often as I would like. Thank you for the recommendation and we may just have to check it out!! - ❤️Mom
@GoldFamilyReactions Well, at the rate this is going, maybe you won't have to work a year or so from now! 🎉 Your Son is really talented at making these kinds of videos, there's a HUGE audience for this sort of content on TH-cam. I actually can't believe ya'll are still hovering around 2k subs. The videos are so good, I definitely think this channel will grow to be huge, eventually you can slap some more advertisements on these vids and ya'll will certainly bring in some $$$. Best of luck & God bless ya'll! ✌🏼
@@drewjohnson1985W suggestion that anime is so good
I saw this pop up and I just have to say hats off to this beautiful family!! ❤
We hyped?
Hyped? My man's, I subscribed just for this fight. Rock Lee standing back up with clouded over eyes was the exact second I knew I would watch anime for life.
It came at the point I really needed it in middle school. Struggled mentally with esteem, and related to Lee's feelings (trade the jutsus for being on the spectrum though).
24 and the episode still makes me ugly cry every time I see it, but I've found a lot of strength since that first time.
13:55 "He's a good sensei."
The best
The "prewatched 🙏🏻" was very funny.
I'm glad you brought your mom 😅 she is us the first time we view this. Although I was expecting her to cry because I how sad these moments are she's tougher than I gave her credit for. Also this is my first time viewing the videos so I have to go back and view the rest of it
If she's Sasuke's female counterpart than Shikamaru and Naruto truly are right, "Mom's are scary."
I am nearly 40 and I would carry mountains on my back to share moments like this with my mother. Cherish her, cherish this moment. ❤
22:28 Thanks mom, that helped me with the tears 😂
This is the best!!! I love that your mom watches anime with you and you both are able to build a stronger relationship through sharing interests!
I love how the running theme for Naruto is that the person who is looked down on can rise up and surprise you. Every character who is hated or mocked by people around them overcomes and shows that words of hate ARE words of ignorance. No spoilers from me, but I love that out of the 12, Lee is the first person Gara fights. I'm going to love watching you react to the introduction of a very ahem 😉 interesting teacher in the near future.
LOOOL I gotta fess up. In my edited version (the one we watch) I took out some of the overly “interesting” parts in order to protect my dear mother. 😅 definitely didnt remove it completely, but they went a lil overboard at some points 😬 should still be tons of fun either way🤠🤠
I have not read all of Kishimoto's interviews about his themes, but I have read as many as I could get my hands on.
Based on his words, it seems as though the series message revolves around war and understanding.
He took great inspiration from his Grandfather(who I believe is a veteran), who talks about past wars he survived.
Tailed Beast are supposed to represent nuclear weapons. the "Cycle of Hatred" that was born from war is suppose to be an obstacle to understanding others. Naruto connects to and learns from/ teaches others using "Talk no Jutsu".
You can find evidence of this theme through the reason Naruto created his ninja way(chapter 33 and 43) as well as the antagonist that reflects Naruto himself.
“My money is still on Lee” after he lost is such a hard bar
6:45 He said only when the lives of VERY IMPORTANT people are on the line.
Must just be important... not VERY important lol.
Yea i took it to mean like the hokage or daimyo or like government personnel
Great content bro and love that you have your moms support too keep it up
Hey guys! I just wanna clarify, for most of the segments we talked over, we rewinded to hear what they said. There’s only so much of the show I can get in the vid due to copyright, so if you’d like to hear/watch the cut segments (without my silly editing) they’re on Patreon. The first 100 paid patrons will forever pay $1/month! 💛
Either way, thanks for joining us!

Great reactions (but the dub is so cringe).
Good luck with your channel!
by the end of Shippuden she's going to be 100 years old lol i edited this what im trying to say if you dont get it im trying to say is it took her 5 months to watch 40 episodes imagine 800 lol
I think in the original Dub he says "I thought I could only remove them when protecting a large group of very important people." The reason he didn't use it before was because he didn't deem the situation important enough.
Damn I cried at the end. Gets me every time. I always watch Rock Lee vs Gaara when I feel low or defeated in life. Just like Lee I had no talent or good at anything I tried, but just like him working hard paid off and then I showed the world what I'm truly made off.
P.S. your mom is so cool
Yes!!! Faster uploads!
my first encounter with any anime ever was tuning into adult swim on these 2 episodes back to back when i was 15. thank GOD my parents were out of town. naruto may not be my favorite anime but this fight and rock lee's story will forever hold a place in my heart. i cry every time. DX
That backstory is one of the only times to me that a dub clearly outshines a sub
This might be one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen lol I love this
Wow, that’s high praise! Thank you very much 🥹💛💛
6:44 nah Sakura ain't important
Man this was so wholesome, I loved it. I was not ok rewatching this scene lol. even after all these years, after seeing it probably 6 times already.
English dubs are theeeee worst. 🤮
Not another anime sweat 😔
The naruto dub is hella good wdym
yeah, but lee`s va was on point.
Seriously? The sub vs dub war is still raging? Just watch what you like and keep it moving.
Honestly, some of the older ones aren't too bad. It's mostly the newer stuff that's just completely awful
This is so wholesome! Awwww i love how invested mom is !
Let’s gooooo
I really enjoy your edits and reactions! Awesome job so far.
I like how she genuinely watches it and you dont push it on her. You just let her watch it and enjoy. Cool video !
