I have rarely been as hyped as i was when i watched Rock Lee drop his weights for the first time. Him and Might Guy should hold a special place in every Naruto fan's heart.
During the two episodes of the Rock Lee vs Gaara fight, Kishimoto decided to let Rock Lee experience what it was like to be the main character. A wise decision so he became one of the fans' favorites. And Shikamaru who also took over the role as the main character replacing Naruto in the Hidan & Kakuzu Invasion Arc for a while. He really is the GOAT for real!
The only difference between Nick's list and my own is for the Land of Waves arc I had Haku as the best. Even though he's technically a villain, he was extremely complex and made you question whether or not he could really be considered a villain as opposed to a victim. His presence in the storyline is what makes it such an emotional arc because he's the catalyst for the first character development we see in the story between Naruto, Sasuke, and Zabuza. To me, his response to his own trauma makes him one of the most "human" characters Kishimoto ever created.
I actually placed Inari at the top for land of waves, both because he embodied the mentality of taking fate into one's own hands that would be used for the rest of the show and because of how much he affected Naruto's growth in the process.
Hiruzen 100% best Konoha Crush character. Little ass 8th grade me hearing him giving that speech about the strength of the leaf and the will of fire absolutely lit something in me and was one of the moments that solidified the fact that I was going to watch this entire show no matter how long it is. And I did. Edit: and don't even get me started on how much I cried during his funeral. I always hated young Konohamaru, he annoyed the hell out of me, but seeing him crying at the loss of his grandfather and basically last remaining family (on screen at least) broke me
My only ever problem with hiruzen was how he was the one who put Naruto in the position he was in as a child “For the good of the leaf” To me he has the same capacity as danzo he’s just always had a scapegoat to do it for him he’s not on danzos level of evil for the good of many but to me none of the leadership of konoha has been entirely “good” since minato and before that since Hashirama and I get that the hokage needs to be the strongest not the best for the village but watching hiruzen do virtually nothing to help the child even a little that ended up in the position he was in because of the leaf leadership, It was hiruzens duty to take care of Naruto and he did a really horrible job Naruto could have easily become pain or taken the route of sasuke and I actually like danzo a bunch he plays the part of evil for the good of the many so well.
I liked Hiruzen in Naruto but hated him in Shippuden, cuz I realized how much suffering he inflicted on Naruto and how he didn't take time for him. Also how he was ok with slaughtering the whole Uchiha clan.
Very solid list; I would personally put Zabuza or Haku for Land of Waves simply based off of how incredibly dynamic they were as villains with such a compelling relationship. Sasuke Retrieval is super tough, I think Choji has the most compelling battle between all of the Konoha 12 (besides Naruto & Sasuke of course). But then when the sand siblings show up to save the day, there is something particularly cathartic about Gaara saving Lee considering their history, it shows great character development for Gaara, also Kimmimaro was peak in both design and abilities.
I can agree with that, however I also really like how Shikamaru's fight sets up more of his relationship with Temari. It gives us building blocks for them to further develop and grow closer
I like the fact that you had Naruto as the top in the search for Tsunade, but also because it's an important part of jiraiyas development as well. He's spent so much time trailing after orochimaru and keeping out of village business and then obviously we find out his backstory as minatos teacher and Naruto's godfather, it really gives a lot of weight to the development of their relationship.
Hear me out when I say Choji is the best from the Sasuke retrieval arc. He was nothing but a goof ball, always snacking and whining. But he stepped up to the guy who stopped the whole squad dead in their tracks, took that red pill of guaranteed death to stop him from going after his friends, and butterfly bombed himself into an absolute legend.
A truly amazing scene. One of my top favorites... But what's sad is that's the only legit badass thing we've seen choji do. He has been pretty much neglected ever since that arc.
Yes I remember Hiruzen vs orochimaru being quite insane in the anime. It showed us the highest level of technique we had ever seen, and showed us forbidden jutsu, and it showed what a hokage truly is: the defender of the village until death. His sacrifice was beautiful, and I remember being so angry that orochimaru survived the reaper. That’s because kishimoto wrote a great character in hiruzen and I was sad to see his sacrifice sorta be in vain.
I'm going through a tought time right now, thank you for the positive attitude you provide, plus the entertaining topics. It help distract me from my situation. Thank you and God bless.
@@DrixMaloneDFS Not alone, I've been doing my best to reach out to my few friends and family who will listen. More importantly than even that, I've been trying to lean on my relationship with God, faith has helped me alot through life. I fell away from my faith for years, in the long run its what caused the situation im in now. But im doing the best I can to keep pressing on, I have kids depending on me.
@@jcr_spartan4214you're headed in the right direction. Sounds like you have your priorities straight. A couple of years from now you'll look back and it will feel like it was a whole other lifetime ago.
I had Sasuke, Lee and Hiruzen on my list before the intro was over. I can agree with Shikimaru for Sasuke Retreaval and Naruto is the logical choice in SFT. He is the character that has the most to do. You forgot to mention it is also the arc where he truly masters Talk no Jutsu.
An interesting phenomenon I have found in the last 8-14months is that most people who start Naruto "now" consider the first few episodes the first arc. The way they are portraying the series is "Graduation" arc, then "land of waves" arc. The justification for it is actually pretty solid, the episodes before Naruto leaves the village there actually is a small character arc. Kuruma sealed in Naruto (inciting event) Naruto fails the graduation exam but is told another way (call to action) Naruto uses the forbidden technique to protect the person he cares about most (defining moment) Naruto is paired with his worst rival during team selection (the awakening) kakashi beats team 7 and threatens to fail them (moment of enlightenment) Sasuke and Sakura break the rules and feeds Naruto knowing that doing so will cause them all to fail (near death experience) kakashi explains that by working as a team, even though he forbade it, they all pass(transformation moment) team 7 is told they are ready for a real mission(climax) leaving the village for the first time resolution. And if this is enough to justify calling it an arc I submit Iruka-sensei for best character. He knew Naruto's loneliness and tried to be there for him, knew what Naruto was but never held any ill will against him, had faith that Naruto could be great but refused to give him special treatment because it would only hurt his student in the long run.
I agree Shikamaru was my favourite in SRA, but I think his best arc was the ASA. The way that he basically takes the spotlight to avenge his master and stop Hidan and Kakazu is very compelling for me, easily his best arc. (I used the acronym version of arcs so no one is confused)
I love Rock Lee, but in my opinion the one who shone in that arc was neji. From his fight with Hinata, to Naruto(that yes he lost, but only because of the nine tails), all that was revealed about his history, him using main family abilities that he shouldn't know. Honestily, the part where he took os the hitai and looked straight into Hiashi gave me chills. And in the end he evolved so much, actually changing his opinion by reading his fathers letter and losing to Naruto
I’d agree with this. Rock Lee basically got three episodes to really shine and show his strength, but that was it. Neji had real character development throughout the Chunin exams
10:51 Ah yes, Rock Lee, the man who has no Ninjutsu or TAIJUTSU skills whatsoever. But, that's what makes him a winner. You see, he doesn't need those other things to win, because he's transformed himself into the world's greatest GENJUTSU SPECIALIST.
I actually think Orochimaru is the best character in the Chunin Exam arc. Prior to his introduction the arc was amazing. But that moment he is introduced the arc goes from amazing to flat out peak Naruto. His intro reminds me of Mihawk’s intro in Baratie. It expanded the Naruto universe. It was epic world building using a character. Yes Rock Lee was awesome. And in any other arc his performance would be best character worthy. But it just can’t compete with our top creepy snaky guy villian Orochimaru.
I've never met somebody that intros their videos with a 5 minute explanation of what the videos will be on like every video. Still love the content, I just usually fast forward 3 minutes every video now.
For me: 1) Land of waves: Zabuza. His presence was made clear that the bridge builder lied about the mission rank. His death was sad yet poetic. Naruto helped open his eyes to realize how special Haku was to him, not just a tool. 2) Chunin exam: Rock Lee. 3) Konoha crush: Hiruzen. 4) Search for Tsunade: Naruto. 5) Sasuke retrieval: Shikamaru. In my opinion, this is where we see the beginning of his own 'will of fire'. Besides the Akatsuki Suppression Mission arc where Asuma died, this is the lowest point of his young life. He failed his first and important mission to get Sasuke back and felt so terrible about how things ended that he wanted to quit being a ninja at the hospital.
In the retrieval arc... I see Gaara as being the best character.. He is trying to do right by Lee. protect him, even if it'd cost him his own life. Gaara completely changed his view and yearns for friends. To me Gaara's the M.V.P.
@@littyfromsouth2002 first time I saw Choji's fight, I effing cried and cheered for him. His butterfly mid blew me away, he looked so elegant and cool. Kimimaru didn't affect me much as a kid.. But at a grown up who has an autoimmune illness, I am crying for him, he was hurting, all the time, but showed enough respect towards Lee to let him take his "medicine" because he knew how much pain ones body can be in, he was graceful in fighting and in life. Poor boy. Neji also had a shining moment, gambling his life and severely injuring himself, just to get a chance to flow his chakra into Kidomaru, takes so much skill. Above Hyuuga Anbu level. Only person who sadly didn't get a shining moment was Kiba.. I really like Kiba though.
Call me insane because I think orochimaru slightly outshines rock lee in the chunin exams, he was plain and simply THAT GUY in the chunin exams and basically all of part 1 for that matter and it was such a phenomenal introduction that if it weren’t for madara being equally amazing I would’ve kinda wished that orochimaru was the final villain
That actually summarized how I feel about a LOT of characters in the series. It's so long that each phase of a character feels like almost different ones. For example, Saskue. He's interesting as a kid, and Fantastic as an adult, but GOD he's insufferable once he goes nuts. I'm angry on BEHALF of Sakura (who's my favorite, sue me) because SERIOUSLY THATS AN ENTIRE QUILT OF RED FLAGS. Similarly, Neji (also a favorite) is interesting in the first arc but GOD he's SUCH and adorable older brother to Hinata that I'm INSULTED he got killed off. I wanna know how they reconciled so bad it hurts! Sakura is also really compelling to me too, I freaking love how determined she is when she takes herself seriously, but I really wish she was written better. Her feelings about being left behind and ignored in a male dominated ninja career where pedigree is everything would be compelling if they TOOK HER SERIOUSLY. The problem is A, the writer can't write women for shit, B, the parts where she doesn't take herself seriously really piss me off, and can we PLEASE acknowledge how she feels/is left out of things constantly? Does anyone ever tell her the truth about the Uchiha Massacre? It's insane cause in Universe she's a FREAKING big deal but the writing did her so dirty.....
Not going to lie. You started the Konoha Crush arc, and I had my ideas, but you said Hiruzen and I went "oh. Yeah ok. That tracks." The way you explained Sasuke in the beginning, Naruto and Shikamaru after the invasion, and of course everybody loves Rock Lee vs Gaara... Yeah. That makes sense. Think I had a couple before you said anything that matched, but after, I'm 5 for 5 with you.
i hope you understand how much joy you bring to me with all your videos. you are an amazing theorist and and even better at explaining theories you believe in, i dont speak from your entire fanbase but we thank you for the dedication and hard work you bring to your content....as well as your hell of an editor that knows how to configure all your videos for us to enjoy. I LOVE YOU BOTH P.S you should show us your editor if they ever want lol
Nick: “if you have daddy issues and are insufferable then you probably like Sasuke” Me: Nick you didn’t even make it to the 30 second mark of the video and you just had to roast Sasuke like that 😂😂😂
Im gonna put my opinion on this as well Land of Waves; Zabuza, he is one of if not my favorite character personally and his arc is really interesting in this Arc Chunin Exams; Rock Lee, For Obvious Reasons he is Rock Lee (Honorable mentions.. Anko for even more obvious reasons) Konoha Crush; Hiruzen Sarutobi, I am a hiruzen defender all the way and I love him as a character and this is an amazing showing for him and his self sacrafice is very well done Search for Tsunade; Jiraiya, Jiraiya being a good teacher and actually wholesome is my favorite from the Arc Sasuke Retrieval Arc; Choji Akimichi, though he doesnt do as much as other characters Choji has those amazing flashbacks and his battle is probobly the on of the most emotional sections of the arc and is really good
Arc by arc list and my favourite character overall for OG Naruto specifically; Kakashi Hatake 1.(❎) Zabuza Momochi 2.(✅) Rock Lee 3.(✅) Hiruzen Sarutobi 4.(✅) Naruto Uzumaki 5.(❎) Temari Kazekage
I always loved Hiruzen dare I say he’s possibly my fav charter even I was so exited to see him near the end of shippuden but then I remember how they pretty much made everyone hate lord third due to the fact he didn’t intervene In narutos childhood which is crazy but other then that he’s a good old man always has been
I had: 1. Kakashi - Land of Waves Kakashi was the coolest dude. 2. Rock Lee 3. Gaara - First instance of Talk no Jutsu I liked. Plus the fight is bomb. 4. Naruto 5. Choji - My boi got Butterfly mode. So good.
Aside from Hiruzen, my guesses were pretty on point. And Naruto I guess, but I assumed he would be getting saved for the Pain arc or something. Without that assumption I could've figured as much.
i wouldve said naruto for konoha crush he pulled off the most impressive feat he defeated a tailed beast as a genin and hiruzen was already said to be one of the strongest ninja in existence

Konoha Crush; Hiruzen Sarutobi, I am a hiruzen defender all the way and I love him as a character and this is an amazing showing for him and his self sacrafice is very well done
Search for Tsunade; Jiraiya, Jiraiya being a good teacher and actually wholesome is my favorite from the Arc
Sasuke Retrieval Arc; Choji Akimichi, though he doesnt do as much as other characters Choji has those amazing flashbacks and his battle is probobly the on of the most emotional sections of the arc and is really good
We need part 2 nick!

Not really
Keep up the awesome work and videos Nick love the video
I always loved Hiruzen dare I say he’s possibly my fav charter even I was so exited to see him near the end of shippuden but then I remember how they pretty much made everyone hate lord third due to the fact he didn’t intervene In narutos childhood which is crazy but other then that he’s a good old man always has been
Well now I’m disappointed part 2 was never posted 😢
10:52 yes, rock lee. my favorite genjutsu user
1) Land of waves arc - Sasuke

3) Konoha Crush arc - Orochimaru
4) Search for tsunade arc - Jiraiya (honorable mention itachi)

Waiting fir Part 2 - Day 55
I'm sorry but I have to point out and ask, why the hell is Ino naked in that Naruto picture you showed at the beginning 😂
Is there a part 2 or am I missing it??
This is a great video
Is part 2 still coming?
Waiting for part 2 - Day 56
Anyone else still waiting for part 2??
We need part 2😭😭
I'm waiting for the same video about naruto shippuden arcs and I expect it TOMORROW!!! period 😤
I had:
1. Kakashi - Land of Waves Kakashi was the coolest dude.
2. Rock Lee
3. Gaara - First instance of Talk no Jutsu I liked. Plus the fight is bomb.
4. Naruto
5. Choji - My boi got Butterfly mode. So good.
Part 2 🤞🏾
Did anyone notice in the frame with the characters dressed as Naruto, that Ino was in his sexy jutsu? I found that hilarious
I didn't notice until the editor told me😂
5:25 Land of Waves
9:20 Chunnin exams
12:57 Konoha Crush
15:55 Search for Tsunade
18:03 Sasuke retrieval
Aside from Hiruzen, my guesses were pretty on point. And Naruto I guess, but I assumed he would be getting saved for the Pain arc or something. Without that assumption I could've figured as much.
i wouldve said naruto for konoha crush he pulled off the most impressive feat he defeated a tailed beast as a genin and hiruzen was already said to be one of the strongest ninja in existence
THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM AT THE END, OML I LOVE IT
I want pt 2!!!!!!!!
Can we get a video of your top 10 favorite filler arcs?
where is part 2
