I remember watching Naruto on Toonami on Cartoon Network years ago and heard this every time an episode came on. I never realized that this was the "American" version of the opening! 😂 Then years later, I learned of the Japanese one. 😂
i had a feeling this sounded like a japanese song before too. Btw what's your profile image? i saw the character in your image in one anime video before but there wasn't any title and comments were in japanese if i remember well, so i couldn't find it. Can you tell me what anime is it?
lcjr oh let me count the ways(animes): One piece, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Soul Eater, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist and Brotherhood, Sowrd Art Online, Even Inuyasha's opening is better than english naruto's opening, and there's many more that I haven't seen out there too.
Yes, this one had me feeling like the show was it was really better than it actually was it’s still my number one currently but back in 2004 this was the shits not to mention the rocklee fight versus Garra this opening was legendary
@@Noblesavage31 They stopped showing it after the preliminaries of the chuning exams, when I was a kid. I'm 23 now and i only finished it last year. Totally worth it. I remember how OP the sand shinobi were compared to the others. Made Gaara seem so badass.
Fr I wonder how this anime woulda turned out to be if Sasuke never wanted to avenge his clan and stayed in the village things could have turned out very different if that happened
Says the person listening to the English opening. Why are you missing something so horrible? (I am too, but I just heard there was a English opening so curious as to what it would sound like).
this was the opening i grew up with, i honestly didn't know about the original one until now, but this truly brings back memories of my 10 year old self staying up past my bed time to watch all the anime on toonami
@@Takimeko Because Captain Falcon speaks mostly in loud onomatopoeic declarations, as does the singer... in a way that reminds me of how Captain Falcon does. You thought I'd never actually respond, didn't you?
They worshipped the fuck out of this show. I remember they did a whole fucking marathon for 50 hours of nothing but Naruto in chronological order. That aired back during August 2007.
I first started watching Naruto when it came to Toonami 9 years ago...9 years man. This series was my childhood man goin home after school waitin for a new episode eatin some pizza or somethin and just my imagination runnin wild. I love this series man. Now it's almost gone. Sure there might be movies or a follow up series after shippuden or maybe a remastered version but the original plot and storyline is coming to an end. I was 7 years old when I first started watching Naruto man...Lmao everytime I heard this theme and opening I knew shit was about to get real 😂. Thanks for the memories Kishi 😪😭🙏
i remember when I was 8 I watched toonami til like 7:30 then this show called naruto would come one and i would be like "wtf i aint watchn that bull" then cartoon network had a marathon of it one day. I decided to watch and i have been hooked for 8 years
Was good until the creator didn't know how to end his series so to compensate he made the ending biggerer and epicerer than it needed to be and constantly threw in twists to the series. First you think Pain is the leader of the Akatsuki, then it turns out Tobi is the leader, then it turns out Tobi is Madara, but wait that was just an alias and it turns out his whole plan was to actually resurrect Madara who can do ungodly things for no reason other than it looks cool, then it turns out one of Madara's minions actually contains the chakra of an extraterrestial ancient spirit lady ninja (goddess?) who I guess wants all chakra back because reasons. If any of this sounds confusing and doesn't stick with with the traditional ninja-y stuff that occurs in Part 1 and the early stages of Shippuden well then you aren't alone. For me what made the series charming(although it had it's cliches) was the strategic points of battle and individual character arcs. I respected the amount of effort that went into each fight scene as far as planning went and I liked seeing certain characters change overtime both physically and internally. Unfortunately, later on that got overshadowed by wanting cool things to happen.
After watching this show for a decade I finished the manga just a little over an hour ago. I came here to bring closure through nostalgia. Memories...being sick and watching to feel better, being well and laughing, being awed as a kid by the fights, always waiting for new opening songs. Good times.
The original naruto opening is cool and all but I also can see why they decided to replace it with this one. I’m sure this did a better job at pulling mid 2000’s kids into the show then the original would have. And after they got their audience they started using the original opening songs so it worked out in the end.
If you're talking about the big guy holding the log, he's not from the movies, it's footage from the first Japanese opening 'Rocks' where Team 7 fights a generic group of (what I'm assuming are) bandits
This holds a special place in my heart. Love this opening far more than the 1st Japanese opening. Wonder what the name of this song is? I love how they have actual clips of the show spliced into it, because as a kid, it felt more honest of what I was getting myself into.
Fun fact: This was composed by the same guy who did "Rock the Dragon" for the original Ocean Dub of Dragon Ball Z Naruto really _was_ DBZ's successor back in the day...

This is back when I though Kakashi was the strongest character in the whole show
He can read a book AND be a ninja? This guy is OP!
+Andrea Casillas no I just thought that cause he was badass and could turn his hand into lightning
ikr back when kakashi was bad ass
Naruto have Kyuubi, and he defeated Madara. Naruto is the boss.:D
Anonimule Waffles xD Naruto did not defeat Madara.
FRIES! Too much salt!
Eat! Yuummm!
Why did you ruin this for me.....
notlame9000 i kinda heard rise to your salt lol
Jamie Schell Rise! Tsuyosa!
notlame9000 Brilliant, that made my day
When this was on cartoon network. The memories
Jeff Washington good times
Andrew Sham Facts
Toonami was the best thing to ever happen to Cartoon Network.
and then came the new bs cartoons
AdzzXYZ but dat guitar riff
You a real OG if you remember this intro.
It was a classic. Even though they got GO! later on
yeah i dont know why they removed it
loved that opening
Loved Dat Opening💯
Does anyone else remember how much Toonami was hyping the English/US debut of this show? 😵💫
0:14-0:23
That fucking riff was so perfect.
Whoever performed that solo deserves a high five.
Jeremy Sweet did this so its bound to sound like one of the PR themes.
the tap solo is pure gold
Bro he deserves a raise honestly
@@tubbylumpkins4885 who that
Fr it’s soo nostalgic
Rise... Tsuyosa
We... Will... Rise
We... Will... Rise... Tsuyosa
Rise... Tsuyosa (2x)
These are the lyrics, in case anyone didn't know.
dcgitz I always thought he was saying “RIIIIIDE, JUDO CHOP”
After about 10 years, I finally know what the lyrics were. 😂😂😂 Thank you!
I mostly heard
“Uno, dos, FRY!”
I thought it was;
Na,Na... RutoSo!
FRIES!!!
TOO MUCH SALT!!
EAT! EWW!!
FRIES!!! TOO MUCH SALT!!
This is much better than the Japanese version. It’s hard af
This opening got me so pumped to watch the show as a kid.
Same!
IKR! Same here! I had to legit run it off after an episode when i was a kid cause I was just so pumped!
Right?! It actually makes you feel like a ninja. For me, It's the only one that sounds right. 🤘
Man me and my little brother omg love it
What’s this intro called? Because I get a different response when I tell people this was the intro I remembered!!

It's Nanana from Nanana's buried treasure :)
Same haha, naruto has a pretty good dub in my opinion, this shit definitely brings back memories
Yeah same but I think this one better than the Japanese one. Idk it just seems bland to me but this one is LIT. lol
yea me too
The good old days when you didn't hear:
"I love Naruto but English dub sucks."
More like when you didn't hear
"I like (insert anime here) but ew the dub exists".
This is actually one of the few dubs I can tolerate ngl. Probably because Naruto's English VA is distinct but fitting
I like the dub
Because the subtitles go by to fast
@@paolopasaol9700 Stfu weaboo.
The Netflix version doesn't use this and I was caught so off-guard
Back when naruto used his famous phrase "believe it" ! Naruto will never be forgotten
Tô certo
* dattebayo
Lol their was an episode when Sasuke said it
*dattebayo 😇
LOL it was his ninja way
Otakus hate on, this opening right here gets my nostalgia levels Over 9000
ive seen better openings.....
yeah this opening is quite lame compared to most others
***** Such as?
lcjr oh let me count the ways(animes): One piece, Space Dandy, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Soul Eater, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist and Brotherhood, Sowrd Art Online, Even Inuyasha's opening is better than english naruto's opening, and there's many more that I haven't seen out there too.
***** ...
I mean just the Naruto openings..
Don't get me wrong I like the Japanese opening but this is the one that I grew up with as a kid!
Me too, I like the Japanese theme song as well but this is what I grew up with as well
Yeah, I prefer this opening to the japanese one
Yes, this one had me feeling like the show was it was really better than it actually was it’s still my number one currently but back in 2004 this was the shits not to mention the rocklee fight versus Garra this opening was legendary

Glad to Chew it mate
Fries!
Too much salt!
Eat!
Puke!
Deaaad 💀😂
I'm dead.😂
I cant unhear this now
lmao
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL
This shit hit so unnecessarily hard, and I loved it every time
Naruto will always have a special place in my heart. It was the show that got me into anime as a kid.
Back when all the Elite Jonin (especially kakashi) were strong asf until itachi came in lol.
Yo lmao this is so true when I really think back on. Kakashi holding lighting in his hand like an OG then Itachi beating him like it's nothing
Power scalings were much better back then
Back when Kurenai tried to use a Genjutsu on Itachi :v
Why did I just read "Elite Jonin" as "Elton John"??
And then Jiraiya comes in
Nostalgia is real here
Who else remembers watching this at 9 on Saturdays as part of Tonami?
My childhood was awesome
Am I the only one that misses Naruto when it was pure and fun
Fr I wonder how this anime woulda turned out to be if Sasuke never wanted to avenge his clan and stayed in the village things could have turned out very different if that happened
Naruto is still pure and fun to this day.
oh a believe it alright
Says the person listening to the English opening. Why are you missing something so horrible? (I am too, but I just heard there was a English opening so curious as to what it would sound like).
What do you mean, like 5 people died in first 20 episodes
I really like the rhythm/ melody from 0:13-0:23
me too the best opening
this was the opening i grew up with, i honestly didn't know about the original one until now, but this truly brings back memories of my 10 year old self staying up past my bed time to watch all the anime on toonami
This song sounds like its sung by Captain Falcon.
I know this comment is older than bones but I truly need to know how you hear Captain Falcon from this singer.
LMAO
Ride ride falcon punch
Bad case of Drugs when screaming sing.
@@Takimeko Because Captain Falcon speaks mostly in loud onomatopoeic declarations, as does the singer... in a way that reminds me of how Captain Falcon does.
You thought I'd never actually respond, didn't you?
This is the opening I heard growing up. I didn't know about the original ones but this shit was pure fire at 5 pm after school in cartoon network.
sue your soap
I remember when this was on cartoon network
Those were the days...
Right it feels just like yesterday and I still watch it I paused for 3 years then I found out shippoden
They worshipped the fuck out of this show. I remember they did a whole fucking marathon for 50 hours of nothing but Naruto in chronological order. That aired back during August 2007.
Sounds like a death metal power rangers theme
Barely death metal.
More towards thrash metal.
Lmfao.
DraculaXHunter101 yea you're right
Maybe cause this song was made by Jeremy Sweet & Ian Nickus?
16 years ago… time FLIESSSS
I first started watching Naruto when it came to Toonami 9 years ago...9 years man. This series was my childhood man goin home after school waitin for a new episode eatin some pizza or somethin and just my

why did toonami have to dissapier? it was the BEST!
TheJack7195
It's actually back iirc.
where? don't be trolling me
TheJack7195
Well, unless there is a rip off that played Space Dandy the other night, I am fairly sure it's back on Adult Swim on Saturdays.
omg thanks, ill have to check that out
I'm about to start a war but this was better than the 1st Japanese opening.
Finally i found the REAL opening
Its 2020 and this still SLAPS!!!
its 2024 and we don't say slaps anymore. I think the kids say its fired or something.
Cartoon network and Toonami in 2005 was so great when this dropped. *chef Kiss*
The guitar play is awesome!!
This takes me back so much.
Waayyy better then the other one
God this takes me waaaaaaay back
FRIES FRIES
TOO MUCH SALT
EAT
EWWW!
LMAO
Lmfao 😹
This went hard for no reason
I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY
Me too I remember this intro as a kid 😂😂 ive always wondered where itvwent
crying! i'm watching shipuuden and seeing this when naruto FIRST aired omfg. i remember waiting every saturday night on toonami to watch this
i remember when I was 8 I watched toonami til like 7:30 then this show called naruto would come one and i would be like "wtf i aint watchn that bull" then cartoon network had a marathon of it one day. I decided to watch and i have been hooked for 8 years
r.i.p the good naruto episodes...
rip
And then Naruto and Sasuke became overpowered
Man it’s almost 20 years later since I heard this intro for the first time and it still slaps hard like a will smith slap. Fries! Fries!! Sumo Sauce!!
Even though I prefer watching Naruto in Japanese I still think this opening is way sick, and it brings back so many memories of when I was a kid 😭❤️
Naruto is actually pretty cool. Everybody kept telling me it was full of crap but its really good 👍
It has its ups and downs like everything out there but, it's entertaining to say the least
I said *Naruto* was pretty cool. NOT Shippuden. No one said anything, but I'm just making sure no one gets the wrong idea...
It's awful.
Was good until the creator didn't know how to end his series so to compensate he made the ending biggerer and epicerer than it needed to be and constantly threw in twists to the series. First you think Pain is the leader of the Akatsuki, then it turns out Tobi is the leader, then it turns out Tobi is Madara, but wait that was just an alias and it turns out his whole plan was to actually resurrect Madara who can do ungodly things for no reason other than it looks cool, then it turns out one of Madara's minions actually contains the chakra of an extraterrestial ancient spirit lady ninja (goddess?) who I guess wants all chakra back because reasons.

OK this is the actual 1st naruto opening
You know you’re old when it says 18 years ago 🥲
And this is how it all started
this goes harder than any other naruto op
*when you wake up on a saturday morning and you hear this on the TV you know you are going to be into some good stuff*
no i watched this at night. didnt know the morning was an option lol
FRIES!!!!! NEED MORE SALT!!
I may not remember this but it does sound pretty cool

I swear the nostalgia hits me so much when I see this opening just reminds me of the good old original Naruto days and how far Team 7 has gotten
This is my favorite Opening in the Naruto series!
THIS WAS MY LIFE I remember watching the movie premiere on Cartoon Network, and being obssessed with what was underneath Kakashi's mask.
THE FUCKING NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I was looking for this all over the internet!
I was in one of lssq's live streams and talked about this. Such a time cabsule
The original opening and english opening are so different o-o
take a yander at the german naruto opening.
That's how you get people hype for your show!
The original naruto opening is cool and all but I also can see why they decided to replace it with this one. I’m sure this did a better job at pulling mid 2000’s kids into the show then the original would have. And after they got their audience they started using the original opening songs so it worked out in the end.
GOAT
I still have no idea who naruto is fighting at the start of this opening.
You still haven't watched that movie? Go. Do it now. Your life is INCOMPLETE.
I know :/ I dont know which movie it is. Ever sense the show first came on tv I've wondered who he was fighting.
It's Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow, I think.
Wait Coblajo you watch Naruto too? I used to think all snipers did was watch cod on youtube >.>
If you're talking about the big guy holding the log, he's not from the movies, it's footage from the first Japanese opening 'Rocks' where Team 7 fights a generic group of (what I'm assuming are) bandits
My testosterone increased 10X fold
Who else misses Naruto on Cartoon Network, because I do.
Back when Naruto was a show about Ninjas
Man the guitar solo gives me goosebumps! Best opening.. childhood
This brings me back when Naruto first premiered on YTV back in 05 when I was in the 8th grade lol
lol the lyrics to this really sounds like Fries Too Much Salt!
This is dozens of generations' national anthem 🔥🔥🔥👌🏻👌🏻
I knew something was off lol I remember this being the opening song not the other one 😂 I thought I was crazy
I can't believe I watched this as a kid in elementary. Time sure does go by fast.
Hard to believe it’s been 11 years..
where is my jetix gang?
Good old days...
Holy shit! No, THIS is the one I remember. Fuck all of the people saying the Japanese version was better. THIS is the one I remember.
Back when Orochimaru was the scariest one
Jeez I was only in 5th Grade when this first came on.
Still rocks all these years later
Same, I miss the care free Saturdays when my biggest problem was getting to the remote control before my sisters woke up 😂
I gotta wonder why the hell Netflix had some other intro for naruto for the first season instead of this one I saw growing up on toonami.
It's because the one used on Netflid is the real intro.
Toonami skipped a lot of openings
This might b one of the greatest anime openings of all time
This holds a special place in my heart. Love this opening far more than the 1st Japanese opening. Wonder what the name of this song is?
I love how they have actual clips of the show spliced into it, because as a kid, it felt more honest of what I was getting myself into.
This was my shit
True
Loved when this intro came on back on toonami
lmao this aint english or japanese or ANY LANGUAGE AT ALL
Lmao that's true
RIIICCCCE! CHEW YOUR SOCK!
Rise TSUYOSA - Meaning - Rise - English and TSUYOSA - japanese for strength. :D
Why do I read this comment in Madara's voice?😂
blackham7 OH C'MON 😂😂
The song is called: RISE! CHEW YOUR SOAP!
I respect the Japanese intro but this is the intro I remember first when talking about the first naruto opening, brings all the nostalgia
Esa fue la canción de mi infancia 😢
This is the only American anime opening that actually fits the tone of the show
Rock the dragon??
Catch em all?
Yu-Gi-Oh?
Damn they put you on blast n I was lowkey about to agree😂
@@Mjames1010
no
This is so wild
Fun fact: This was composed by the same guy who did "Rock the Dragon" for the original Ocean Dub of Dragon Ball Z
Naruto really _was_ DBZ's successor back in the day...
Anyone here remember when cartoon network had a 3 day marathon of naruto??
See now this is the true First naruto opening
Ah the good old day
0:14 woah calm down rock lee
As a 5th grader this drew me in and now nostalgia is what makes me really like it.
I knew I'd love this show when this opening came on.
