People always like to shit on how Naruto tries to empathize with the villains, but this scene is what made him. A cold blooded killer who people called a demon was a man who cared deeply for his subordinate. Naruto believes even the most evil of people have good inside of them
And he's not wrong. With the exception of characters like Zetsu, Hidan, & Kakuzu, basically every villain is sympathetic in some way. Even Orochimaru wound up the way he did mostly because he missed his parents and started looking for a way to get them back, and that just turned into a slippery slope as he fell deeper and deeper into madness.
This is what bleach needed now even with the new arc I'm still not getting that, even sadie forgave itachi when he learned the truth. This is why naruto is popular world wide and why people want a naruto remake to experience this all over again with up to date animation. I'm probably gonna shed even more tears when the blood an the tears just pop out of the TV because of that remake.
He wasn’t really trying to empathize with Zabuza here. He was shocked and angry that Zabuza wasn’t mad at how they treated Gato. He empathized with Haku, not Zabuza. Naruto empathized with Gaara, but that didn’t stop him from trying to beat Gaara and possibly kill him to protect his friends.
What an incredible episode.. Amazing opening arc. It gives us a great example of how deep and diverse this show is. It can have thrilling action scenes, heavy drama stuff and goofy comedy. Og Naruto is one of the best anime adaptations ever, imo. Not only the manga itself is the best shonen ever, imo. But the anime also is so well done. From the arstyle and animation, direction, incredible OST, great voice acting. Truly a timeless masterpiece!
@@Petrol_Sniffawell, there are people of extreme negative opinions for everything...to not only dislike it, but hate it means there's something wrong with them.
Haku's sad sacrifice, Naruto's innocence and empathy made even a cruel ninja like Zabuza cry, but Kakashi didn't cry! we see very clearly his sadness and his respect for the last moments of Haku and zabuza, yet no tears were shed... When we subsequently learn of kakashi's past, we understand that he has exhausted all the tears from his body... This character is one of the best written characters in all the history of manga and film and series scripts...
I greatly appreciate uploading these in order. Like other channels are fine uploading reactions to whatever and people only have what's available.. but it's nice going through the story and seeing everyone's reactions as it unfolds. I remember when I first started watching - and it's not like Naruto is the most emotional anime or whatever - but Zabuza caving and expression his emotions and all that for Haku really helped me open up the mindset that villains aren't always just villains. It also set the standards of the Naruto Universe in that there are rarely outright "evil" characters. They are people that had experiences in life - and as such had different perspectives. There weren't too many shounen anime that played around with that concept.
Zabuza is a perfect example of how cruel the world of Naruto is. For every ninja like Naruto, who has a team and friends, you have one like Zabuza, who had nothing, and became a demon to survive.
Dude, there isn't a time I watch the scene of Zabuza saying his goodbyes to Haku that my eyes doesn't get filled with tears. It was the most emocionating and sad thing that I watched on my childhood, and even now gets me, it's just too perfect.
Fun fact: The great Naruto bridge is an actual bridge connecting Minamiawaji, Hyogo on Awaji Island with Naruto, Tokushima on Ōge Island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Cnaruto_Bridge
If Zabuza & Haku were to have survived and possibly joined Konoha (which could cause a bit of anger from Kirigakure to be directed at Konoha for a while for sheltering one of their rogue ninja as a possible plot point), I could easily see Zabuza working very well alongside both Kakashi & Gai. While Haku could easily have become a Genin for Konoha....and maybe Haku could even have gone with Naruto to train with Jiraiya during the timeskip? Hell, we could possibly have even seen Haku take part in the Chunin Exams, where he could have shown up to protect Sakura, Sasuke, & Naruto from the Sound Trio (Dosu, Zaku, & Kin). I mean, imagine if Zabuza had joined in on the Gaara Rescue Arc in Shippuden? We could have seen Zabuza Fight Kisame rather than (or alongside) Gai.
Imagine how differently the story could have gone had Haku & Zabuza survived this arc? Especially if they were to have chosen to join Konoha after Naruto managed to "Talk no Jutsu" Zabuza. He could have been a huge help (as would Haku) in arcs like the Chunin Exams (where Zabuza & Haku could have shown up to try and back up Naruto, Sakura, & Sasuke against Gaara & Shukaku) & the Sasuke Retrieval Arc (where Haku could have saved Neji from Kidomaru & Zabuza could have saved Choji from Jirobo). And then in Shippuden they could easily have grown even stronger during the time-skip. Such an eventuality could even have led to an arc involving Konoha dealing with Kirigakure being "upset" that they took in one of their rogue ninja (Zabuza) rather than just turning him over to them, and could even have served to introduce Mei Terumi earlier than normal.
@@velox2740 Oh, it would have been possible. Remember, when Gato turned on Zabuza, his hostility to Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, & Tazuna vanished immediately, it was all just a business transaction to him, nothing more. It was never personal to Zabuza. He likely would have been receptive enough to the idea to at least have considered it, particularly if Haku was also on board with it, particularly with Kakashi & Naruto having earned his respect. Zabuza might even have agreed primarily out of an interest to see how strong Naruto, Sasuke, & Sakura would eventually become once they grew older and gained more experience. Still, I just find it fun to consider "what might have been" sometimes. :)
Hiruzen would never allow Zabuza into the village. He was a rogue ninja who attempted to kill the mizukage and start a coup. He could still be a spy working with the hidden mist (as far as the leaf knows), and if the mist ever got word of the leaf letting zabuza stay it would be grounds for war (which Hiruzen would do anything to avoid)
they wouldnt be allowed, it would be a reason to start a new ninja world war, zabuza wasnt just a small guy, he killed the mizukage and attempted a coup. those are not small crimes that can be atenuated. if only haku survived, sure, he could be accepted since he was both a kid and ninja that was exiled by its community. but not zabuza.
The only scene at which I cried in my over 100+ anime watches is when zabuza cried. I could feel his human side for the first time and how he admired Haku. That got me hard.
remember this when people compare naruto to other animes, naruto will make you bawl your eyes out for a piece of shit character that you wished you could torture just a few minutes before. and it happen again and again. this is why when i see people compare naruto to something like my hero academia i can just laugh, because, there's just no comparisson.
No, he didn't. Haku intentionally missed striking Sasuke's vital points. All Haku did was render Sasuke unconscious and make it *look* like he'd died without actually killing him.
@@gamester512 zabuza even explain it as well, haku never enjoyed killing, even when ordered. and he liked naruto, there's no way he would kill sasuke, specially since he "did it" by targeting naruto. also, all he did was the same he pulled off earlier when he saved zabuza. so the show did show he was capable of tricking even kakashi who was an experienced ninja, no way naruto wouldnt be fooled.
that's what happen when you put your work in shonnen jump. if you dont belive me, just look what is happening with MHA! it's going through even worse, since their madara is a much blander and uninteresting character. at least shippuden got amazing moments like the pain arc, and while the "big bad" at the end was shit, the series still managed to end strong, with the duel, the marriage and it comming full circle with naruto defeating her with a jutsu of his own creation that NOONE but him could use at a moment like that.

i don't how, this opening arc is amazing, romance story telling it was good but this was mention to lgbtq right?😂 i don't how i feel to zabuza and haku, i love this villain character, relationship zabuza and haku it's good but i feel like gross coz the two same gender love each other😂😂
It's sad for sure. ;~; But, it adds a ton of character development for Naruto, it shapes his character tremendously, and helps define his morals. This was certainly a masterfully written arch.
dude was a sadistic mass murderer who enjoyed torturing and killing his victims. he killed a chief of state and attempted a coup. there's no other way for him to end if not dead.
its been 20 years since this episode was dl. and its still burns. especial when you lived as a tool thinkkng nothing more. also still get you when youre arm is broken and you still have the will to move it, to reach for something important.

Imagine kakashi and zabuza deadly duo
If Zabuza & Haku were to have survived and possibly joined Konoha (which could cause a bit of anger from Kirigakure to be directed at Konoha for a while for sheltering one of their rogue ninja as a possible plot point), I could easily see Zabuza working very well alongside both Kakashi & Gai.

If you didn't cry during this scene, you're lying.
i watched these episodes back in 2004 when i was just 7, time flies so fast.

In the Latin Spanish dub, Zabuza responds to Naruto: "Your words cut me deeper than any knife."
Keep it up man!!!
あぁ、ハクはサスケを仮死状態にしたってことか。
I dont know who else realized, but Zabuza called Haku an angel. He said, he is Not going to where Haku is and then said hes going to hell.

Plus Zabuza's response: "You talk too much. Your words cut deep, deeper than any blade."
