And The Pain Arc is complete.. Thank you to everyone thats been watching and supporting the vids. I’ll never forget reacting to this arc. MORE NARUTO REACTIONS ON THE WAY!!
Kakashi carrying Naruto and saying "he's gotten heavy" is a callback to the fight at Final Valley where he carried and Naruto and said "he's so light". Naruto has not only gotten physically bigger/heavier but he also now carries the weight of others, including Nagato and his dream for peace.
@@danieltodorov3863 He thought it's a recap but it's pissing me off that he is not paying attention to the subtitles it's a really good scene of the villagers perspective of Naruto changing throughout the arcs
One thing that I love so much about this is that Naruto had two options, to talk to Nagato and relate, or to choose violence and attack Konan/Nagato. If he attacked and won the fight, everybody who died in the pain battle would have stayed dead. Instead, Naruto chose peace and understanding Nagato, lead to everyone being revived
Naruto finally getting That recognition he deserved from The beginning. The Pain Arc is The Best in The story, with The Best Villain Pain is a masterpiece Completely he has The Best story for a character in Naruto, hes also got The Best Theme, Pain's Theme "Girei" is fuckin Sick.
The final scene of this arc is one of the most cathartic scenes that I´ve ever seen in form of media. Naruto really overcamed his hatred and was rewarded with the thing he craved since he was a child,... The story of Naruto Uzumaki !!
9:13 from NAGATO TO NARUTO.that transition was🔥...In his last dieing moments as JIRAYA WISHED..that his story would be continued by his student's life..TITLING IT "THE TALE OF NARUTO UZUMAKI"..naruto finally understood..HE CAN'T LOOSE HIS DETERMINATION..cause won't just let down himself..but MASTER JIRAYA AS WELL.. .so as the the character (whose name jiraya gave)..came face to face with it's inspiration (nagato)...FROM THE NOVEL...JIRAYA'S BOOK FINALLY LED TO PEACE...AS HE HOPED FOR...SO THIS ARC FINALLY COMES TO AN END..by giving respects to JIRAYA'S FINAL WISHES ..10/10 PERFECTION
Nah Ebisu accepted Naruto waaay before in Naruto og. When Naruto teach his value to Konohamaru and Ebisu acknowledge that and say Naruto is better teacher than him (he changed from just seeing Naruto just as Kyuubi to respect him as a good teacher), so that's why in later episode he agreed to Kakashi to teach Naruto the basic before final chunin exams until Jiraiya snatched (take over) Naruto from him to teach Kuchiyose.
I never said Ebisu accepted N recently. I was referring to his memories of how the Village’s view of Naruto changed from disgust, doub,, respect, acclaim, to sympathy. to acceptance.
@@ZeeshanAli-di2qp it literally doesn't. Yall just join the hate train with literally no actual valid reason. Plus Naruto was about him ending the hatred in the Shinobi world and becoming hokage. Not to mention that means Madara was hyped up since early Shippuden. The whole story would've been just completely incomplete.
@@midnight7013 Because Naruto didn't achieve his goals of becoming hokage, Saving Sasuke and ending the hatred in the Shinobi world, plus Madara was hyped since early Shippuden. Naruto would've gotten to meet kushina and feel the love of a mother, Naruto would've controlled kurama's power, we would've gotten more information about the other jinchuriki, and more.
People's lives do not end when they die. It ends when they lose faith The power of believe is stronger than everything. Jiraiya entrusted the Ninjas world to Naruto, while the Author entrusted the real world to his reader.
"Naruto Shippuden is the best story ever told." I have been saying this for years to anyone who hasn't watched it and people that just talk about it general. You've been my favorite reactor since you started and hearing you say that was awesome. This goes for anyone. If this isn't even your favorite, but is still close to the top of your list, I think it tells a lot about you as a person. There are some very valuable moments in the show and if they hit you in the feels as hard as they do me. You've probably got a good heart in you.
It's definitely a favorite but I do still find a few faults with it to be able to call it the best story ever told. However, I firmly believe that this is one of the strongest runs of episodes in anime, all the way from the akatsuki suppression arc to the sasuke pursuit mission through the itachi/pain arc, to the five kage summit... yeah it's up there
@@VelvetAuraFor me Naruto is the best not for the story or anything else it's just something I can't describe. I've related to a lot of the scenes and character's story so much ,sympathize with almost all the villans and have emotional damage a lot of times. I think that's what's make naruto special I wouldn't say it's perfect like no holes but that's not the important thing always what's important is the feeling you got from the show and in that term nothing comes close to naruto for me
@@MS_DHONI_07-j6n it's ok but I don't really agree because jjk isn't trying to be way too deep and big like big 3 it's just a incredibly fun show. That's why big 3 arcs > jjk arcs
Shikamaru's father is such a W for the series. Probably one of the wisest and most down-to-earth people. The way he helped Shikamaru navigate through Asuma's death and how he understood to let Naruto have his opportunity with Pain. *chef kiss*
26:16 iruka also hated Naruto for his parents death in ninetails attack but he overcome that hatred and became a big brother to Naruto the only person that never hated Naruto was hinata,sasuke,Kakashi,lee,guy and some more but iruka even with his hatred still cared for Naruto w iruka there
sasuke did hate naruto though. he probably hated him more than any other person in the village because he was indifferent towards everyone but that form of hatred was different than the hatred he felt towards itachi and he felt some solace in that so even though he hated naruto they still got along to some extent also i dont think shikamaru and choji hated naruto either. not sure about kiba and shino but i wouldn't even consider sakura and ino hating on naruto because they're just kids. pretty sure all of the genin 12 teachers didn't hate naruto either and were just indifferent towards him
Didn't cried first time i saw this, i was like 16 i think when it came out... but man i couldn't hold my tears back today, now that i'm 29 and have known pain, this hits harder.
I was watching along with you, couldn't believe we've already come to Pain's arc, thanks for experiencing this peak story again. I'll never stop praising Naruto as the masterpiece, the top of anime. I was so happy hearing that you may like it even more tha AoT and NO, AoT is my favourite anime of all times but when it comes to Naruto Shippuden, I just can't figure any place in my top-list. Naruto takes its place is in the heart ... ❤ (deap respect to Kishimoto, GOAT)
@@firmak2 As much as I like to be cynical irl, you're wrong here. The pen did bring them back. The shinobi system destroyed the village through Pain, but Jiraiya's hope and Naruto's empathy brought everyone back, in a demonstration of how, when pain/suffering is shared, people are able to understand each other.
@@giannixx and all that caime trough the sword. Even the ending showed how the sword is most important, including for sharing paint. The war arc also showed this.
NicholasLightTV is really redefining the game. People said the AOT moment in season 4 was cringe, and he said it was based. They said the Pain animation was weird, and he said it was PEAK. And Nicholas was RIGHT both times!
Naruto finally getting the recognition he deserves! The entire vilage understands he's their savior... Kakashi picking him up, his arrival at the vilage, the music... It is epic! Easily one of the best moments of Naruto!
Rewatching this series with you, I've come to realize that Naruto was even better than I remember it to be. Perhaps I was too young back then but never completely understood or appreciated its themes and ideas as I do now. The pain arc ending with such a meaningful discussion really went over my head as a child bc I craved more action on top of the action (tho we got plenty of that in this arc) Now I think it ABSOLUTELY brilliant and an unheard-of way to end an arc in any shonen series. Kishimoto truly did something unprecedented with an already great series. I have more respect for him as a writer than when I finally finished Naruto previously (transitioning the series to Baruto still makes me salty. Really messed with the ending in my opinion. Kaguya and all) The themes of war and the cycle of hatred are more relevant than ever in our current world and grappling with figuring out the solution to it is something I can finally relate too. Naruto was truly ahead of its time and I think plenty of people need to come back and rewatch it to appreciate it more. Most, if not all, current Shonen series are nowhere near exploring these themes to the depth that Naruto has (and the villains are unparalleled). Thank you Nick for letting me rewatch this great series again so easily.
The White Fang’s reaction to Kakashi saying he’s proud was more emotional than Kakashi’s death. Dude was sitting there at the fire for decades wondering if his son ever forgave him 😢
Nick not realizing that the flashbacks were to show more and more of the village liking and acknowledging Naruto over time is wild lmao. He really didn't pay attention to anything being said, just kept going on about how Iruka was the only one who liked him lol.
Nick thank you for reacting to this.. Your are one of my favorite reactors on..ENTIRE TH-cam.. WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS..made me even a bigger fan of this anime. .and i loved your description of the emotional moments..FOR THIS SHOW...and your editing bro...YOUR EDITING OF THE ENTIRE SHOW HAS BEEN 🔥... Thank you once again..I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS SHOW..
Kakashi is in my top 3 characters for many reasons, so maaan... Him having that conversation with his dad while in limbo. THEN immediately returning to life just to almost instantly back Naruto up makes me tear up. Man is one of the series goats ❤️
Dude, I just came across your channel, and it's like watching a fusion of Bill Burr and Just Trust Ash react to my favorite anime! You've earned a new subscriber!
Hey Nick and others, wanted to explain some of the poetry and symbolish with the end of this arc. This is essentially the end of Act 2. Both Naruto and Sasuke have actually accomplished their 'real goals'. Naruto wanted to become Hokage because he believed it would get the village to love and respect him. With the end of this arc, the village now loves him. There's no real reason for him to become the Hokage now. And Sasuke was determined to kill Itachi and restore the Uchiha only for him to learn the real truth and now being consumed with anger. Naruto gained love from the village that always despised him and Sasuke has now gained hate and wants to destroy the village that he feels cost him his brother's humanity and soul. Its perfect. The next arc is basically the epilogue to Act 2 and Prelude to the Final Act. It brings certain things to a close whilst at the same time setting up a whole load of new things to now come going forward. Enjoy.
hey nick idk if youu'll see this but i just wanted to say thank you so much for being so entertaining to watch. i kind of stopped watching you aafter i got busy in life but your video just popped on my feed and i remembered those fun good times of you reacting to aot. i just got so nostalgic and emotional and i just wanted to thank you for making me so happy for that part of my life. i just got back and checked out your channel and became so happy that you're doing well, your channel is doing well and ALSO .....you are MARRIED! congratulations nick! so happy for you guys. i'm just grateful and so happy that i used to be so happy looking at your reactions. it felt like somebody else can relate to the excitement i got while watching these shows. keep doing your stuff cuz' you do make a lot of people's fun and interesting. it's a huge thing to make people happy and you do a great job at that!
Man, I just wish Naruto & Hinata had a little moment after the arc. It would’ve been a perfect time for more development. After they both faced Pain, together, how could they go back to essentially avoiding one another? D:
cause Kishimoto litterally didn't plan them together :') almost until the very end we could only see his and Sakura's relationship hints. He really sucks at romance
@@diana_mei I knowwww D: even just a hug, maybe Naruto noticing her, being relieved she’s okay and then a brief embrace before resuming the celebration with everyone else. D: oh well.
Nah Even after everything, Naruto was not ready for that. He barely knew what was love for his friends/"precious people" as he knew it. And not even hours prior, he got to knew love from his real parent. And let's be honest, Hinata expected a 100% chance of death, she was ready to die for him, so it was more about declaring her love for him before dying. That's why it was "selfish". And even after surviving, you think Hinata would hound Naruto about it? When there's so much shit to deal with? You know, like their damn village being in ruins at the moment, and then Naruto going to a different time zone to intercept the Raikage. . . Then again, it was then that Sakura made her pro-gamer move that didn't work because our boy, even as messed up as he is, had already received an honest declaration of love to compare with Sakura's. At the end of the day it's a shonen battle manga/anime, one can only be grateful for the little specks of romance in them.
Even though I've watched this arc several times, every time it's an adventure again, a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.
Before people try to glaze say the tagashi(the editor of Naruto) carried he didn't. He left during the Sasuke vs itachi fight which was during the early beginning of the pain arc.
Watching Naruto being thrown in the air by the villagers was so heartwarming and felt so right. It felt like a long, hard fought journey where the hero finally got what he deserved
i watched Naruto as a young young teen so i definately missed a ton of stuff and i dont usually cry, but that sentence at 17:27 broke me to pieces once you love someone for the 1st time, you understand the weight of those words. and i dont even like Sakumo, but fuck man when i heard him say that my heart sank and the tears started flowing on their own this show is a masterpiece, second only to One Piece
Glad you are enjoying this show as much as I have!! My friends and I have watched a number of anime and we each picked one for ourselves that was "our" anime. Naruto was mine, seen every single episode and movie! Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions, sooo much is going to happen so wrap that headband even tighter!!
when nagato finally remembered the name of the hero in the book😭.. he knew of the name naruto even before the show's naruto was born, that's why he felt like the kid in front of him was the incarnation and embodiment of that book's hero😭
that line from kakashis father "i can finally see your mother" always brings out tears. I have seen this anime from people reacting to so many times and these episodes still hit so hard for me.
For those who don't know @NicholasLightTV: Naruto Shippuden was originally supposed to end here and come back with a time skip so that the author (Masashi Kishimoto) had time to think about what's next. But because of the success of Naruto he was forced to continue and change its plan. If I remember well, the same happened in the great war arc with the final villain, who was not supposed to be.
Agreed. This is the only time where I found revival of all dead characters acceptable. It was the best way to conclude the arc and added to the emotional depth of it. It was truly earned.
9:40 lil detail I like is him asking naruto how he can say that he will never change? I feel like it comes from a place of self-awareness nagato knows what he's become and has some awareness of it, after being reminded of his past, he knows he's changed too much, which I think adds an extra layer of sadness. I didn't notice this until this watch tbh.
Naruto will be a fool for the rest of his life, just like he said at the end of the first season. Realistically, there is never a guarantee of eternal peace, war never stops, but people need faith and inspiration to live, and even if Naruto dies, the millions of descendants of ninjas and those who think like him will continue the peace, a cycle that might as well be called eternal peace. That's what I like about this anime, it always gives hope.
In Ebisu's case he acknowledged Naruto since Naruto OG, when he was teaching him how to walk on water, prior to Jiraiya's appearance 👍, he was thinking about how Naruto was a figure to Konohamaru and was a better teacher than him or something like that
Iruka sensei was so pround and was a beautiful scene showing of how much he truly loves Naruto. Of course I balled when i saw him cried of happiness for Naruto.

One thing that I love so much about this is that Naruto had two options, to talk to Nagato and relate, or to choose violence and attack Konan/Nagato. If he attacked and won the fight, everybody who died in the pain battle would have stayed dead. Instead, Naruto chose peace and understanding Nagato, lead to everyone being revived

I cry every damn time I see this arc. Masashi Kishimoto, you genius.
Nick thank you for reacting to this..
Your are one of my favorite reactors on..ENTIRE TH-cam..
WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS..made me even a bigger fan of this anime.
.and i loved your description of the emotional moments..FOR THIS SHOW...and your editing bro...YOUR EDITING OF THE ENTIRE SHOW HAS BEEN 🔥...
Thank you once again..I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS SHOW..
There is a hero right before our eyes
No mater how many times i watch this ark im still crying
I honestly couldn’t ask for a better birthday gift thank u nick
Every time I rewatch Pain arc. I realize how amazing it was
Kakashi is in my top 3 characters for many reasons, so maaan... Him having that conversation with his dad while in limbo. THEN immediately returning to life just to almost instantly back Naruto up makes me tear up. Man is one of the series goats ❤️
Naruto will always be a very special anime and will be close to our hearts.
The legend says that if Eren had seen the scene of Naruto and the swing, 80% of humanity would have been saved lol
Dude, I just came across your channel, and it's like watching a fusion of Bill Burr and Just Trust Ash react to my favorite anime! You've earned a new subscriber!
Hey Nick and others, wanted to explain some of the poetry and symbolish with the end of this arc. This is essentially the end of Act 2. Both Naruto and Sasuke have actually accomplished their 'real goals'. Naruto wanted to become Hokage because he believed it would get the village to love and respect him. With the end of this arc, the village now loves him. There's no real reason for him to become the Hokage now. And Sasuke was determined to kill Itachi and restore the Uchiha only for him to learn the real truth and now being consumed with anger. Naruto gained love from the village that always despised him and Sasuke has now gained hate and wants to destroy the village that he feels cost him his brother's humanity and soul. Its perfect. The next arc is basically the epilogue to Act 2 and Prelude to the Final Act. It brings certain things to a close whilst at the same time setting up a whole load of new things to now come going forward. Enjoy.
the most emotional moment in all of fiction for me
hey nick idk if youu'll see this but i just wanted to say thank you so much for being so entertaining to watch. i kind of stopped watching you aafter i got busy in life but your video just popped on my feed and i remembered those fun good times of you reacting to aot. i just got so nostalgic and emotional and i just wanted to thank you for making me so happy for that part of my life. i just got back and checked out your channel and became so happy that you're doing well, your channel is doing well and ALSO .....you are MARRIED! congratulations nick! so happy for you guys. i'm just grateful and so happy that i used to be so happy looking at your reactions. it felt like somebody else can relate to the excitement i got while watching these shows. keep doing your stuff cuz' you do make a lot of people's fun and interesting. it's a huge thing to make people happy and you do a great job at that!
I don't dislike the end of the series, but THIS was the climax of the series.
Man, I just wish Naruto & Hinata had a little moment after the arc. It would’ve been a perfect time for more development.
After they both faced Pain, together, how could they go back to essentially avoiding one another? D:
cause Kishimoto litterally didn't plan them together :') almost until the very end we could only see his and Sakura's relationship hints. He really sucks at romance
@@diana_mei Yeah Oda sucks at romance as well but besides that they are cooking
@@diana_mei I knowwww D: even just a hug, maybe Naruto noticing her, being relieved she’s okay and then a brief embrace before resuming the celebration with everyone else. D: oh well.
Nah
Even after everything, Naruto was not ready for that.
He barely knew what was love for his friends/"precious people" as he knew it. And not even hours prior, he got to knew love from his real parent.
And let's be honest, Hinata expected a 100% chance of death, she was ready to die for him, so it was more about declaring her love for him before dying.
That's why it was "selfish".
And even after surviving, you think Hinata would hound Naruto about it? When there's so much shit to deal with? You know, like their damn village being in ruins at the moment, and then Naruto going to a different time zone to intercept the Raikage. . .
Then again, it was then that Sakura made her pro-gamer move that didn't work because our boy, even as messed up as he is, had already received an honest declaration of love to compare with Sakura's.
At the end of the day it's a shonen battle manga/anime, one can only be grateful for the little specks of romance in them.
This subathon made me love this arc even more
15:10 "Arigato" Gets me every mf time
Even though I've watched this arc several times, every time it's an adventure again, a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.
Didn't think nick would react to something older and longer like Naruto. Beyond happy he has and actually loves it.
every single person i watch react to pain arc says the same. This is the perfect ending for the show.
Not gonna lie but Ten Ten got more screen time here than in anime😂😂
24:58 and this great Nicholas sound
Arigato kishimoto Sensei for give
us best arc in anime
Before people try to glaze say the tagashi(the editor of Naruto) carried he didn't. He left during the Sasuke vs itachi fight which was during the early beginning of the pain arc.
@@Swagjutsusolosfiction yep 👍 good details
Me: "Bro we about to take Chinese classes this about to be easy!"
Bro on his first day: 4:34
Watching Naruto being thrown in the air by the villagers was so heartwarming and felt so right. It felt like a long, hard fought journey where the hero finally got what he deserved
you know what? my mind can't keep the mindblown in this arc, the butterfly effect, the fight, the sadness, everything is just so peak.
i watched Naruto as a young young teen so i definately missed a ton of stuff and i dont usually cry, but that sentence at 17:27 broke me to pieces
once you love someone for the 1st time, you understand the weight of those words. and i dont even like Sakumo, but fuck man when i heard him say that my heart sank and the tears started flowing on their own
this show is a masterpiece, second only to One Piece
for me the scene where naruto returns to the village and is recognized as a hero should've been the ending,it was the perfect set-up.
Glad you are enjoying this show as much as I have!! My friends and I have watched a number of anime and we each picked one for ourselves that was "our" anime. Naruto was mine, seen every single episode and movie! Looking forward to seeing more of your reactions, sooo much is going to happen so wrap that headband even tighter!!
when nagato finally remembered the name of the hero in the book😭.. he knew of the name naruto even before the show's naruto was born, that's why he felt like the kid in front of him was the incarnation and embodiment of that book's hero😭
"WHEN DID YOU FORSAKE YOURSELVES?!" 🥶❄️🥵🔥
In all honesty, this episode is technically where Naruto accomplished his dream of being recognized by everyone in the village.
that line from kakashis father "i can finally see your mother" always brings out tears. I have seen this anime from people reacting to so many times and these episodes still hit so hard for me.
Just wanted to let ya know, you quickly became one of my fave streamers/youtubers. I can tell you're a real one! Keep up the great work.
16:37 that smile was exactly how we felt watching it the first time
For those who don't know @NicholasLightTV: Naruto Shippuden was originally supposed to end here and come back with a time skip so that the author (Masashi Kishimoto) had time to think about what's next. But because of the success of Naruto he was forced to continue and change its plan. If I remember well, the same happened in the great war arc with the final villain, who was not supposed to be.
the ONLY case where i think "revival of everyone who died" was not only warranted, but actually earned and didn't feel like forced status quo.
Agreed. This is the only time where I found revival of all dead characters acceptable. It was the best way to conclude the arc and added to the emotional depth of it. It was truly earned.
9:40 lil detail I like is him asking naruto how he can say that he will never change? I feel like it comes from a place of self-awareness nagato knows what he's become and has some awareness of it, after being reminded of his past, he knows he's changed too much, which I think adds an extra layer of sadness. I didn't notice this until this watch tbh.
Naruto tells the villain that he experienced pain too
The swing: "Ah sh*t here we go again"
The best ARC in the history of Anime
I always cry watching this episode :') the best arc ever!
The greatest arc in anime history.
17:25 This is so perfect man. that music, that line, so much emotion.
Kakashi doesn't care he's dead or alive, he just proud of Naruto. That what means a true sensei!
Loved rewatching this through you all the emotions of hype and reflection were great and I can't wait for more of your reactions 👌🏽
it really is peak animation right there crying even after watching it 100 times
Naruto will be a fool for the rest of his life, just like he said at the end of the first season. Realistically, there is never a guarantee of eternal peace, war never stops, but people need faith and inspiration to live, and even if Naruto dies, the millions of descendants of ninjas and those who think like him will continue the peace, a cycle that might as well be called eternal peace. That's what I like about this anime, it always gives hope.
Kishimoto played with us with Kakashi's death, dang it
In Ebisu's case he acknowledged Naruto since Naruto OG, when he was teaching him how to walk on water, prior to Jiraiya's appearance 👍, he was thinking about how Naruto was a figure to Konohamaru and was a better teacher than him or something like that
For sure Nick, The Pain Arc is a masterpiece. Such an Epic story telling. By Far the Best story in the Whole Naruto franchise.
Iruka sensei was so pround and was a beautiful scene showing of how much he truly loves Naruto. Of course I balled when i saw him cried of happiness for Naruto.
remember Nick, this anime is about Naruto and Sasuke, not Madara, until the end Naruto is still one of the best anime
Now that is Naruto's peak as an mc🔥
Naruto is good but luffy is better.
@@fezzshaikh1071 yeah but goku solos
When naruto finally got acknowledged by the whole village, one of my favorite moments in all of naruto
06:30 My Man Came
