Though with everything happening with Shueisha, this might be the last time I can cover Dragonball, One Piece, Naruto, etc...
Looking forward to "How ninja are the Hunters from Monster Hunter Rise"..cause I'm sure it'll be there, I found insects used as ten'nenbishi (natural caltrops) so there's a point already on top of their use of nature..I'd call it that they'd be the over the top style ninja but they have some decent roots to work with.
Not sure if it was just comedy bit of yours, but its only natural that serious moment is contrasted with comedy, especially considering how much more serious the fight follows Murasakis defeat: Buyon, monster that almost defeats and eats Goku.
I can’t see Aizawa and Jiraiya Which Ninja videos because everyone want to see it but you just Remove it I’m felt sorry for you If you say temporily When are you going to reuploaded them back if Shueisha sorted out and stop being worry I know you want to avoid the risk and people are trying to help you say calm I know you don’t want to risk and please try to relax and ask someone for help like Akiterra and your friend from Japan to help you out
He's hiding the shuriken in different places around his territory, that's kinda the advantage of forcing people through his room, he can set traps and hide spare weapons around the area to strike with. Goku's whole schtick is that he brings out the worst in these otherwise indomitable and terrifying figures by being a kid who is simply unaffected by them, like 99% of the planet would die instantly at the ninjas hand, 1% would fight him equally, and then there's Goku, half of your mushroom head's issues can be summed up with "he'd do better if it wasn't against Goku".
Literally every villain in Dragonball can be summed up as “he’d do better if it wasn’t Goku”. Especially in the original comedy series. You can’t tell me that a good chunk of those villains wouldn’t have been a major threat in a more serious story without needing any drastic redesigns.
EXACTLY. It's still a good representation, because it's still related to accurate ninja culture. It's just that Murasashi is failing at the techniques. It's a good representation of a bad ninja
To be entirely fair Goomba's whole thing in this series is to be a cynic who points out all the tropey, ahistorical, or inaccurate parts of the various ninja.
Proof that “historically accurate” and “good” are not synonymous. A good “ninja” can be inaccurate historically, and a historically accurate ninja can still be terrible. ...But the best ninja is one who is both good _and_ accurate. Which most media ninja are... Not even halfway to being _close_ ...
You could say Murasaki's legend was meant to be a form of psychological warfare. Meant to make him appear more badass and intimidating than he actually is, making people less inclined to want to face him.
@@jeremytung1632 the red ribbon army were the villens from the second main arc of dragon ball. Like the name suggests, they were a army who's symbol was a red ribbon (more like a bowtie,which is always cool for obvious reasons). Dr, gero, the creator of the androids and cell was a member of the RR army, and he hates Goku because he wiped out the RR army as a child. (Which possibly resulted in his son dying, but I'm not sure if that's canon)
I wouldn't even say the RR Army were relevant in the android saga. They were more of a decorative piece in Gero's ultimately unrelated revenge plot. He didn't want to revive the Army, he just wanted his son's killer dead.
@@Ichiyama22 That's not true, actually. The idea that Gero's son was killed by Goku during the Red Ribbon HQ raid is a bit of fanon that was popularised in a big way by DBZ Abridged. In fact, Adrian canonically died in some RRA operation that had nothing to do with Goku. Gero's primary motivation during the Android Saga was to avenge the RRA, not his son.
1:52 “kid show” isn’t super accurate. Dragon Ball was filled with tons of raunchy and inappropriate jokes unsuitable for kids “gag show” would be more accurate
Eh, part of this is different cultural standards. When it was released in Japan, it was considered a kids show. Hell, this is part of the reason why some of the newer re-releases of Dragon Ball stuff has been censored compared to the original, such as removing Truck flipping someone off or Goku getting a gory hole blown through him. The intended market is children in Japan and standards have changed.
Funny you would say that...I just got finished reading a chapter with a quote in which Toriyama discusses how Dragon Ball was intended for an older audience than his previous work.
Say that to Toonami back in the early 2000s. I was in elementary school at the time and dragonball & dragonball z aired after school for me. I enjoyed it and it brought me into anime
It seems to me like Murasaki was trained as a ninja, but was eventually kicked out/fled because of his vices. He never refined his techniques, but knows the basics.
This is a very good point. There is solid evidence that he has the intellectual knowledge of the assorted techniques of the ninja, with distractions, hiding techniques, and psychological warfare. His problem is that although he INTELLECTUALLY knows the techniques, he doesn't PRACTICALLY know them. It's like the difference between memorizing medical textbooks and actually practicing medicine as a doctor. You might be able to rattle off all the information correctly, but put one of these armchair physicians in a medical emergency, and you'll be lucky if they don't wind up making things worse. In this case, Murasaki's lack of practical knowledge leads him to constantly letting his emotions get the better of him, whether it's his addiction to naughty magazines, his pride, or his inability to handle unexpected complications.
The main problem with Murasaki isnt what he does, but WHEN he is. Nearly every fight in the RR-ark is nothing more than a big joke. "Powerful" enemy challenges Goku. Underestimate him, because hes a kid. They do some goofy stuff in the fight. they get defeated. If he appeared 50 to 100 episodes later he would be a good enemy. No real challenge to Goku of course, but at least not a clownlike Wannabe like this.
Honestly, it just makes me wonder how the hell the Red Ribbon Army even got that powerful in the world of the show at that point. Given it seems like it's run by clowns
I think most people forgot that Goku's stamina had been massively upgraded in the previous arc. A 98kg (216 lb) training shell on his back over the course of several months, which was doubled for the last two weeks of the training. It might have looked like a joke, but it might have actually highly improved his odds.
Wait so Lil Goomba questions him moving so fast that he leaves an afterimage when the 300 year old man and alien monkey kid can also perform afterimages
The man is aware of Ninja Slayer! I repeat: the man is aware of Ninja Slayer! I expect a full roasting of the 'accuracy' of the shinobi in that glorious series soon. It's been a while since you evaluated truly awful ninja.
I think he could be shown on a presentation on the first day of ninja training as an anti-example, but again, against Goku everyone would be a bad ninja.
In terms of training and techniques, he is a pretty good ninja... he's just a massive idiot, and it breaks his execution of said training. And it is dependent on which medium you are using for analysis. While both are extremely similar in their overall competence, the manga version may have seishin, considering the scenes of his illicit material aren't there.
Great video! I have some characters you could analyze in the future: Gray Fox (Metal Gear Solid) Daredevil (Marvel) Vega (Street Fighter) Snakes and/or Storm Shadow (GI Joe) Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assaasins/Shadows.
I will say, about Murisaki using so many Shuriken and Kunai, this is his home field advantage, he probably has thm stashed all around in little secret places, so he doesn't have to carry many on him at all.
Just my gut feeling of what I cam remember when I watched this show, but the most ninja thing about Murasaki was the legend around him. He may have had training, but he grew complicit and lazy fully relying on fear for victory.
Who else is watching this today with the understanding that Murasaki's floor was so goofy and comedic because the previous boss fight was so heavy and dramatic?
Alright, are we not going to talk about Tengen Uzui from demon slayer? A 5'9 buff man who has giant swords on his back and the world's shiniest headband who calls himself a shinobi
Another Cartoon character of like to see is Dark wing duck. uses ninja smoke, sneaks in , use disguises. blends into surroundings, the gliding cape he does in 2017.
I can't believe out of all the ninjas we've seen murasaki gets a two parter, not complaining since he uses a technique that lives rent free in these videos.
Now, I get that there are lot's of times where Murasaki was straight up antithesis of Ninja (Like the porn stash and failing in hiding himself with the flag). But I don't think that makes him a bad REPRESENTATION of ninja in media. Instead he's a representation of a bad ninja. Which I think is an important distinction. All the stuff he does is usually related to ninja themes. It's kinda hard to explain my point, but to someone like me, who was a kid who didn't know anything about ninja culture, I still feel like I managed to learn about ninja's from Murasaki's screw ups. Sure, he failed at hiding under the fake rock and he jumped out to retrieve his ero picture, but that portrays him as a failing ninja, and by contrast I can imagine a good ninja doing the opposite. I guess my point is he is a good representation of a bad ninja, where many ninja are a complete misrepresentation (Like Naruto hitting people with magic spiral balls). I think Murasaki is a good compromise of having a ninja while still sticking to the gag-nature of early dragon ball. At least that's my opinion. Oh, and the starting argument of Murasaki's introduction being over-done with super speed and death shuriken, doesn't that actually fit ninja well? Not the speed or the shuriken, but the "legend" about him. I thought part of being ninja was to use tricks and illusions to make you seem more lethal and mysterious than you were. The comical inadequacy that follows just goes to show that Murasashi must have been good at deceiving people who know about him into thinking he is more dangerous than he actually is
A though occurred to me: If real ninja lived isolated in hidden villages, how did people hire them? Did they just wander into the nearest city looking for work?
I just started reading the manga and got to this part a day or two ago. Crazy timing. But I also don't remember some of the stuff I'm seeing here. Particularly that stash of magazines. Either the anime tried to make him look even worse, or I wasn't paying attention
The one complaint of this show is they don't take context into consideration. Like if the world the ninja is in has super speed afterimage techniques, WHY WOULD THE NINJA NOT USE THEM? Same thing with magic and chi.
Erm, the pattern being the wrong hue etc. is likely just because moving objects get drawn and painted differently. So more that it just would never fit in due to early anime and developing techniques
Just when I needed something to cheer me up my favourite Ninja Fanatic shows up! Thank you man. Also my copy of Sakuya of Rice and Ruin finally, finally, FINALLY comes in tommorrow. I am using your video as a reference point to power level BTW.
with the sheet being the wrong color, thats a well known animation problem, you can always pick out the moving bits in anime because theyll be shaded or colored differently than the static portions, in fact in a later episode where the cover doesnt move during a shot it blends better and goku even pees on murosaki without realising it
Murasaki didn't have to carry those kunai and shuriken on his person. The fight was on his turf, so he could have had them stashed in his hiding spots.
I always love to see mangaka compliment actual japanese culture Toriyama especially, since his style was more westernized, always surprises me with stuff like this when I go back to the original DB
Speaking of Murasaki.... did you ever knew about Ikoma Murasaki? AKA self proclaimed Ninja Master? But in actuality applying Shinobi Knowledge to Modern espionage field?
Funny, me and a couple of friends have been watching the original Dragon Ball. And I saw these eps and said 'A Which Ninja Episode on this would tear him apart.'
I actually used that running technique when I was a kid. The funny thing is that I knew absolutely nothing about ninja and had never seen any anime in my life at that point. I just discovered it by accident one day and kept doing it because it felt like I was faster when I did. Thankfully, this was a long time before Naruto existed so nobody ever called me out on it by calling it "Naruto running". I did get some funny looks from people but they were more confused than mocking.
@@GaijinGoombah are you seriously telling me that shuesha is going to tell you off for showing some lousy pictures of dragon Ball? If that's true just tell them to piss off and that they're being rediculos. Hell you know what if you're worried we can do it over on my channel, I'm not scared of shuesha or toai so if you wouldn't mind collaboration I'll take the blame If you don't want to, I really love your videos and which ninja is one of my favorites, so if you're up for it let me know. Love your stuff gaijin keep going

I remember a scene in Naruto where Jiraiya is telling Naruto about the three forbidden temptations of the ninja. As you can guess, he doesn’t follow his own teaching in that regards
Hey Goomba, you should do a video covering the new Revenant Hunters in Destiny 2 for Which Ninja. Their new stuff is honestly and truly, actually pretty ninja. They have two charges of a melee attack that slows (and freezes slowed) enemies. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it bounces around and spreads the status effect a lot, making it useful for preventing enemies from following you if you need to retreat and heal, or open them up for you to hit them with something hard. The grenade shown for Hunters draws enemies in from a pretty decent range, and lingers, slowing enemies until they're frozen solid. Its most useful trait though, is in how long it lingers. You can use it at a chokepoint to hold territory for yourself, or throw it at a boss to repeatedly freeze them. The super is to throw two Kamas, one named Silence, the other Squall. One freezes a large area, the other makes a localized storm that slowly freezes enemies while it keeps damaging them with cold, cutting winds. Lastly, there's the two aspects, one gives a dive attack thats used from up high to attack and instantly shatter frozen enemies. People will use it to freeze and shatter enemies, sometimes aggressively, sometimes while camping. The second causes your dodge to slow enemies around you while you can also use your dodge to recharge your melee. And finally there's the exotic, Mask of Barris. It is literally you, wearing the enemies face. It makes your dodge super fast, while also cloaking you while you use it. It also minorly boosts arc damage, so most people pair it with a arc shotgun or sword, and use it to zip up to a enemy from behind, and quickly put them down. Either that or its a easy escape button.
I have an interesting question that I can’t seem to find the answer to: in popular media, video games and such, there always seems to be an association with electricity and bugs, particularly beetles. Why is that?
I haven’t really noticed that trend. The only examples of that I can think of is the Thunderbugs and Flashbugs from MH, and the Chargabug and Dottler lines from Pokémon
Considering that 1st strike would probably have killed anyone but goku, I'd say that his problem is he was so good at the 1st strike he got out of practice on everything else.
when can we expect part 2? also he got more lore not too long ago in dragonball z dokkan battle in one of the stories involving android 8 and android 17

Hey Gaijin, I loved your Greninja video, and I have an idea for another Pokémon Which Ninja. Instead of a specific Pokémon though, it's a type in general. Poison Type. The reason I say that is that they're one of the fragile types out there, but the the general strategy for most of them is to go in, Poison the target, and either die, or get out. Not to mention the first 2 poison specialists are the Fuschia City Gym Leaders Koga and his daughter Janine, with their gym in the anime acting like a typical ninja house. Plus, a lot of poison type Pokémon are based on animals that stereotypical ninjas would use, such as insects, arthropods, and snakes. Examples are Venomoth, Drapion, Arbok, & Seviper. I could actually make a whole breakdown, but I'll stop now.

Could we see a video about how Japanese cultural standards affected what was considered "acceptable" on media meant for kids?
I think Murasaki’s legend was far larger than the man himself, much like how ninja stories today are much larger-than-life.
FInally. I've been waiting for this episode for a long time.
YES! Very much this!
it's all apart of the intimidation jutsu.
@@GaijinGoombah you posted this video over a year ago and hasn't release the so called part 2 to it like you said in the video

Gaijin: "This is pretty accurate."

@@KlausiboyZ
Indeed.
I love how Goomba is berating Murasaki for not being able to keep up with a super powerful alien child that can break steel and shoot energy blasts...
To be entirely fair Goomba's whole thing in this series is to be a cynic who points out all the tropey, ahistorical, or inaccurate parts of the various ninja.
Hey, nobody knew he was an alien yet (not even the creator) - he was just a crazy strong kid with a monkey tail.
So what I'm hearing is that Murasaki is a historically accurate ninja...
But he's not a good one. :/
Proof that “historically accurate” and “good” are not synonymous. A good “ninja” can be inaccurate historically, and a historically accurate ninja can still be terrible.

Well, from what I recall, his name literally translates
to "purple" in Japanese, so it still works anyway.

A though occurred to me: If real ninja lived isolated in hidden villages, how did people hire them? Did they just wander into the nearest city looking for work?
I just started reading the manga and got to this part a day or two ago. Crazy timing. But I also don't remember some of the stuff I'm seeing here. Particularly that stash of magazines. Either the anime tried to make him look even worse, or I wasn't paying attention
The one complaint of this show is they don't take context into consideration. Like if the world the ninja is in has super speed afterimage techniques, WHY WOULD THE NINJA NOT USE THEM? Same thing with magic and chi.
Erm, the pattern being the wrong hue etc. is likely just because moving objects get drawn and painted differently. So more that it just would never fit in due to early anime and developing techniques
I like this alternating schedule. While I don't watch your other channel, it does keep things fresh every two weeks.
3:40 hold on, after images arent unfounded. Goku and roshi did them in the 21st tenkaichi budokai
Just when I needed something to cheer me up my favourite Ninja Fanatic shows up! Thank you man. Also my copy of Sakuya of Rice and Ruin finally, finally, FINALLY comes in tommorrow. I am using your video as a reference point to power level BTW.
with the sheet being the wrong color, thats a well known animation problem, you can always pick out the moving bits in anime because theyll be shaded or colored differently than the static portions, in fact in a later episode where the cover doesnt move during a shot it blends better and goku even pees on murosaki without realising it
Murasaki didn't have to carry those kunai and shuriken on his person. The fight was on his turf, so he could have had them stashed in his hiding spots.
I love hearing that you are loving the change!
You got this Goombah!
So he’s a LEGIT ninja…he’s just also really, really bad at it
I always love to see mangaka compliment actual japanese culture
Toriyama especially, since his style was more westernized, always surprises me with stuff like this when I go back to the original DB
Maybe he should a Which Ninja episode on the Ninjago ninjas to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
Speaking of Murasaki.... did you ever knew about Ikoma Murasaki? AKA self proclaimed Ninja Master? But in actuality applying Shinobi Knowledge to Modern espionage field?
so it's been well over a year by this point
when are we getting a part 2?
When Shueisha figures out what year it is.
These videos are inspiring, educational AND entertaining. I already look forward to part 2!
2 years, we had to wait TWO YEARS FOR PART 2 OF THIS WHICH NINJA ON MURASAKI
The 5 Murasakis really bring up the ninja level in murasaki.
I mean- he is in fact a ninja, but he's just a bad one
nice to have this back in the new year I can' wait to check out your other channel
Funny, me and a couple of friends have been watching the original Dragon Ball. And I saw these eps and said 'A Which Ninja Episode on this would tear him apart.'
Lol, I was just watching a review on that arc, and now there’s a video about the ninja, life works in mysterious ways.
I actually used that running technique when I was a kid. The funny thing is that I knew absolutely nothing about ninja and had never seen any anime in my life at that point. I just discovered it by accident one day and kept doing it because it felt like I was faster when I did. Thankfully, this was a long time before Naruto existed so nobody ever called me out on it by calling it "Naruto running". I did get some funny looks from people but they were more confused than mocking.
I haven't gotten any notifications for your channel for awile but I'm happy I got this one and get to binge your content again. 😁😁
Where's episode 2 then you've not done it anywhere
Shuesha got me spooked.
@@GaijinGoombah are you seriously telling me that shuesha is going to tell you off for showing some lousy pictures of dragon Ball? If that's true just tell them to piss off and that they're being rediculos. Hell you know what if you're worried we can do it over on my channel, I'm not scared of shuesha or toai so if you wouldn't mind collaboration I'll take the blame If you don't want to, I really love your videos and which ninja is one of my favorites, so if you're up for it let me know. Love your stuff gaijin keep going
I could help with idea "How ninja are the rogues from World of Warcraft and which race fits the role best?"
Your chanel is one of the best i ve seen in a long time, great content and a nice break from all the doom in the world these days. Much respect
I mean it's a pretty good analogie for a master of his craft to fall so deep, because he's engulfed in his desires
*Lillie close her eyes while she toss a multiple shuriken around blindly as Murasaki run but sadly he knocked out because of Lillie lucky shot to the head*
Lillie: “It might be lucky but it was a good shot.”
(( A bad ninja gets punished by Lillie improper ninja techniques, failure get punished. Lol
7:05 second mark that makes the ninja vices in Naruto make sense now. Also why Hawkmon became a ninja when using serenity transforming into a ninja.
I remember a scene in Naruto where Jiraiya is telling Naruto about the three forbidden temptations of the ninja. As you can guess, he doesn’t follow his own teaching in that regards
Hey Goomba, you should do a video covering the new Revenant Hunters in Destiny 2 for Which Ninja. Their new stuff is honestly and truly, actually pretty ninja.
They have two charges of a melee attack that slows (and freezes slowed) enemies. It doesn't do a lot of damage, but it bounces around and spreads the status effect a lot, making it useful for preventing enemies from following you if you need to retreat and heal, or open them up for you to hit them with something hard.
The grenade shown for Hunters draws enemies in from a pretty decent range, and lingers, slowing enemies until they're frozen solid. Its most useful trait though, is in how long it lingers. You can use it at a chokepoint to hold territory for yourself, or throw it at a boss to repeatedly freeze them.
The super is to throw two Kamas, one named Silence, the other Squall. One freezes a large area, the other makes a localized storm that slowly freezes enemies while it keeps damaging them with cold, cutting winds.
Lastly, there's the two aspects, one gives a dive attack thats used from up high to attack and instantly shatter frozen enemies. People will use it to freeze and shatter enemies, sometimes aggressively, sometimes while camping.
The second causes your dodge to slow enemies around you while you can also use your dodge to recharge your melee.
And finally there's the exotic, Mask of Barris. It is literally you, wearing the enemies face. It makes your dodge super fast, while also cloaking you while you use it. It also minorly boosts arc damage, so most people pair it with a arc shotgun or sword, and use it to zip up to a enemy from behind, and quickly put them down. Either that or its a easy escape button.
6:43 Oh, that's where Naruto got the Three Ninja Prohibitions from!
8:09 I'm getting flashbacks to the Ninja Boys from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
I would like to recommend Nami from the anime One piece, i wanna see your take on how ninja she is.
I have an interesting question that I can’t seem to find the answer to: in popular media, video games and such, there always seems to be an association with electricity and bugs, particularly beetles. Why is that?
I haven’t really noticed that trend. The only examples of that I can think of is the Thunderbugs and Flashbugs from MH, and the Chargabug and Dottler lines from Pokémon
I always interpreted because Goku was already pretty superhuman taking on assassin who was only trained to better than human tier targets
Part 2 is more ninja than Murasaki, no one has seen it.
I wonder if half life 3 will came out before part 2?
I always wonder about this. And the Murasaki episodes always make me laugh in the General White Arc.
Love these vids. makes me appreciate the source material that much more. Thanks.
As a kid, I would occasionally get this guy confused with the assassin, Mercenary Tao
Seems silly now though
“Shiribo No Jutsu”
Ha! Butt Staff Technique. Good one, Gaijin.
I've been looking forward for this!
Considering that 1st strike would probably have killed anyone but goku, I'd say that his problem is he was so good at the 1st strike he got out of practice on everything else.
when can we expect part 2? also he got more lore not too long ago in dragonball z dokkan battle in one of the stories involving android 8 and android 17
Hi everyone, I hope you all have a fantastic day.
Take care and God bless
🖤💜🤎Gabriel🤍🧡💙
“Enter Ninja Murasaki” That’s what the power pole does
Took you a WHILE my friend
Duuuuuuuuude. If I could tell you all the technical problems I ran into with getting this thing out...
@@GaijinGoombah I can’t see Aizawa and Jiraiya Which Ninja videos because everyone want to see it but you just Remove it
I’m felt sorry for you
If you say temporily
When are you going to reuploaded them back if DMCA sorted out and stop being worry
I know you want to avoid the risk and people are trying to help you say calm
Go ahead I got plenty of time school doesn't start until 18th January for me
I get the feeling that ninja weren't the most badass mystical fighters that they're made out to be.
6:17 Maybe Murasaki has hidden shuriken storage spots all over his floor
So, where's part 2? I have waited a full year for this.
Would you guys want a WHICH NINJA episode on Lo Wang from Shadow Warrior, both the classic and reboot versions?
Hey Gaijin, I loved your Greninja video, and I have an idea for another Pokémon Which Ninja. Instead of a specific Pokémon though, it's a type in general. Poison Type. The reason I say that is that they're one of the fragile types out there, but the the general strategy for most of them is to go in, Poison the target, and either die, or get out. Not to mention the first 2 poison specialists are the Fuschia City Gym Leaders Koga and his daughter Janine, with their gym in the anime acting like a typical ninja house. Plus, a lot of poison type Pokémon are based on animals that stereotypical ninjas would use, such as insects, arthropods, and snakes. Examples are Venomoth, Drapion, Arbok, & Seviper. I could actually make a whole breakdown, but I'll stop now.
