Check out my cultural breakdown of Disney's new film "Encanto" th-cam.com/video/atT5nSKXvac/w-d-xo.html What culture did you notice in Naruto Shippuden? Also, I'd like to quickly address my pronunciation of the names in this video, which I've had a lot of comments on. I watched the series in Japanese with subtitles, in which the names are said slightly differently than the English dub. I tried to imitate the names in Japanese although as my Japanese isn't great, I probably didn't succeed in that either. Sorry about that!
During the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke. At the end of the fight Sasuke uses a technique which he called "Indra's arrow". This is notable because in Hindu mythology; Indra ( like Zeus in the Greek mythology) was considered to be the "Chief" of his pantheon (family of gods) and ( like Zeus ) is noted to be a god of the "sky and storm." Sasuke's technique as reference also has another layer. Not only was Indra considered to be the chief god with power over the sky and storms. But he is also famous for being a god of the "Forrest and hunting". And his favoured tool for hunting was a "bow and arrow".
Gai Maito techniques most likely based on four legendary beasts: Asakujaku - Suzaku (Red Sparrow/Phoenix) Hirudora - Byakko (White Tiger) Night Gai - Seiryu (Blue Dragon) Ninkame Summon - Genbu (Black Turtle)
@@xpcohiox many of the names are in so many different forms of media, including other manga and anime. That’s the impression that I’m getting. Definitely common knowledge
Also: Apparently Kaguya's Yomotsu Yirasaka is a reference to the Japanese mythological slope that leads to the underworld. Also, the White Zetsu army created by Kaguya resembles Yomotsu-Shikome, Izanami's minions of Yomi.
@@mr.picklethanos7340there is a jutsu in Naruto Shippuden know as flying raijin that is mostly used by the yellow flash of the yellow flash of the leaf who is known to be as quick as lighting
I would definitely not place Naruto as the best anime of all time (as it would disconsider other amazing series such as death note, attack on titan and others) but it certainly is the one that got me into anime and japanese folklore. It's filled with various references and symbolism. Even the anbu masks are kabuki masks and it's just wonderful to see them so well integrated. It was a good anime that really sucked me in, but just not the best :)
@@xXblackgaarangelXx Definitely not the best, as there are many others with less flaws. Then again, best is subjective, as well as writing, as it would be illogical to compare a 12 episode anime with a 500+ episode anime. Naruto definitely is my favourite anime, but best for me would be, Berserk (manga), Kingdom (manga), AoT anime, Death Note till episode 25, and Chainsaw Man (manga)
@@fortnight5677 east asians knew all about these things. Indians and Chinese are aware of the concept of chakras and mudras. It was created by vedic aryans in India.
I would add the Hindu mithology, specially to understand the Otsutsuki "gods", just by reading Indra´s description gives everything way more sense (including the Eyes stuff)
This is creative af. Love anime. It’s so hard to watch cartoons here in America when we have shows like these. For example I had a friend show me Star Wars episodes and another friend DC episode. No contest
As mentioned, Uchiha have an affinity to fire jutsu, but not Sasuke. Sasuke has a lightning affinity (which is why it was si hard for him to learn katon when he was a kid) and that is a direct reference to Indra, as he is his reincarnation.
speaking of Boruto, did Boruto get his eye because of Hinata? or is it because of Chakara from the SO6P which gave him that power? if it is SO6P then why isnt Sarada so special?
@@rblxcaviarbread990 boruto got the eye from toneri . Also there’s a theory that Sarada might have a different type of susanoo named Kushinadahime which is one of the wives of susanoo in Japanese mythology.
22:41 Also when a kitsune lives for 1000 years it’s said to become a golden color and called a tenko which means “heavenly or celestial Fox.” This is why Naruto Kurama form is a yellow/gold color
Funny i discovered your first video today where you promised a second video but was disappointed to not see it yet. I open TH-cam latter today and I get the recommendation of this video posted 4 hours ago! Great research man.
I mean the sage of six paths is a mash up of alot of religious leaders. Laotsu (i know i spelled that wrong) because the sage of six paths 5 weapons are the same as the ones lautsu owned in journey 2 the west (and the gold and silver demons), not to mention all the trigams and daos he has. The budda because he gains enlightenment after literally fighting off monsters under a tree for days on end (although the Buddha was a mental battle). And a shinto preist because he has the white gown and that staff thing i can't remember the name of.
@Billybob 69 Actually, you describe the Virgo Shaka battle against the three ghouls since Virgo Shaka is the reincarnation of Siddhartha Gautama-Buddha. Also Virgo Shaka's Six Samsāras (Six Paths) is terrifying.
To add to Paths of Pain background, it's pretty amazing how they're made of no-name characters but every bit of brief characterization Kishimoto put in them was planned and intentional. 1. Deva/Tendo (Yahiko) - In Buddhism, the Deva realm is the realm of bliss. The Deva realm is sometimes also referred to as the *"god's realm" because, compared to humans, its inhabitants are so powerful that they could be compared to deities.* Yahiko wanted to become the god of the new world. 2. Animal/Chikushōdō (summonings) - Buddhists believe that animals inhabit a different dimension separated from humans not spatially but mentally; *an unhappy plane of rebirth which revolves around fear, instinct and survival of the fittest, suffered by those animals that work for humans* and, above all, by those ignorant to what is happening to them. The guy who had summoning powers was the one that fought Jiraiya, as well as his main character in the book, in the forest. He puts in the perspective how inevitable war is, how futile it is to stop him, how impossible peace is and how you can either destroy or be destroyed. 3. Asura/Shurado (cyborg) - In Buddhism, the Asura realm is the plane of semi-divine warring demons which people are reincarnated in due to actions based on jealousy, struggle, combat or rationalization in a previous life, and though powerful, *live in constant violence and conflict to which there is no resolution nor peace. They are known to live a life pursuing power, while indulgent and representative of materialistic and carnal pleasures.* It also draws inspiration from Hinduism, where Asuras in mythology purportedly had the ability (called Astra) to use magical equivalents to modern day biological missiles. That's the guy in a with a hat and little puppet that Jiraiya meets at the start of his journey, in ruins of a house. He goes with the flow of era of destruction, as Jiraiya put it. He is motivated by materialistic gains and adjusts his usual profession to what the fighting countries need for waging conflicts. Also there is the obvious parallel of mechanical aspect. 4. Human/Ningendo (the one that Jiraiya blinded with his kick) - In Buddhism, the Human realm (also known as the "Manuṣya realm") is based on passion, desire, doubt, and pride. It is widely believed that the Human realm is the form of rebirth *most likely to attain enlightenment, due to both the availability of information and teachers, and the ability to reason without falling victim to the obsessive aggression or carnal delights* inherited by the higher planes. This is the blue haired guy (looks way too much like Dan btw.) that Jiraiya met in a tavern. Not only is he a teacher but that, as the name suggest, is the most "grounded" and relatable of all paths. He represents the perspective of the most common people (his students) and teaches them how to survive and also to "make the right decisions" which (because it suggests he doesn't outright do combat training) plays into not falling a victim to the shortcomings highlighted above, like the higher planes do. 5. Preta/Gakido (absorption guy) - In Buddhism, the Preta realm (also known as the Hungry Ghost realm) is a reincarnation based on strong possessiveness and desire which were cultivated in a previous life or lives. The Preta are humanoid creatures which are *perpetually hungry and thirsty, but are unable to satisfy themselves, living lives similar to those of hopeless addicts trying to appease their unyielding hunger.* He was the unsatisfied and angry dude in that tavern, the one that tried to hit the blue haired teacher. He refused to pay for the gambling game. He was also heavily complaining about unfair state of his life and how little did his efforts amount to while trying to better his land, only to drown his misfortune in sake. 6. Naraka/Jigokudo (spikes in his angular jaw guy) - In Buddhism, the Naraka realm, or *"hell realm", is a plane of rebirth, based on Karma (actions of body, speech, and mind)* built up in a previous life or lives. There are various Naraka, each *containing beings that are tormented until their Karma has achieved its full and satisfactory results.* This was another teacher-like figure, this time met by Jiraiya in a destroyed village with crowd of people. He presents by far the most hopeless perspective, as at first he is preaching about at least possibility of peace if there is enough effort but then says that this world is self destructing hell and nobody can stop it. He fully focuses on a spiritual aspect (like Karma above) and has little group of followers that is encouraged by him to do the same, which can be seen as contained beings that are tormented until their Karma gets better.
Yes according to myths hinduism originated first and Indra is god of devas or gods and asura is terms used for evil demons I like how misimoto switched their names
Impressive video! If I can add more to this, not sure if others said the same thing, but here goes: The First Hokage uses some Hindu/Buddhist figure in his technique - Veritable 1,000 Arm Kanon (Shinsuu Senju) is also a popular figure the Bodhisattva Guanyin that is featured in folklore like Journey to the West. His wood golems resemble statues of Japanese/Hindu deities as well. Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen uses a summon that is basically the Monkey King Sun Wukong as well, able to transform into the iron cudgel that he uses as his main weapon. The Sannin and their summons are essentially a Japanese folklore trio I beleive, that always fights to a stalemate. Someone else can probably provide more info into this if I'm on the right track. And Jiraiya himself is a legendary ninja from folklore also.
@@jamesjaredo8167 Thanks. I think you're right, too. I have to check those videos out. Another thing about the 1000 arm Kannon is that it's also an aspect of the mythology behind Guanyin. If I recall, she was able to generate many arms that reached out and healed or helped people. So it's actually a thing and why you would sometimes see the Buddhist depictions of her with many arms in pictures and statues.
NARUTO: Now that Kurama is gone, I wonder how I could get a powerful eye like yours. SASUKE: There's this called "Black Eye" NARUTO: How can I get it? SASUKE: Let Hinata punch your eye
that killer b wutang clan reference made me giggle and smile !! these videos are so interesting and make me respect and love the naruto series so much !!
idk if it's related to myths, but in the past of Japan there was the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan......also big names as Yamato, Senju ,Danzo ,Kisame
Great vid. Also, thanks for noticing Over The Moon, that film goes hard. Also, I want point of the legends of Qoilyxoki(I probably got that name wrong) the Aztec moon goddess who also got banished to the moon cause she was evil. I noticed some similarities there.
also i want to ask, would you be interested in doing the tales of jiraiya too? that'll be awesome, gajin did a video, i'll like to see you tackle that one, unless you have done one already i assume? imma check the channel still
@@maymay5600 Thanks, I'll look into it but I didn't know there were other cultural references for Jiraiya, aside from the legend and tale of Jiraiya. I'll consider it!
@@turkeysgotmorecloutthanyou in name only, never officially and yes he did he was a selfish warmongering imp with stolen power implanted in him. Danzo may have been good at one point but by the time the 5 kage summit rolled around he was so far gone that I'm not sure even Sarutobi could have reasoned with him
@@Ash-fu6jf he wasn’t a bad person nor did he want fear, he simply wanted to improve the hidden leaf his own way. Both itachi and shisui despite being dealt wrongly by Danzo still believed that he did it for god reasons, if they believe so then I don’t know what’s convincing enough.
Budhism have lot of its share from hindism because gautam budha was once hindu prince who renounced his position and wealth to seek enlightenment as a spiritual ascetic, attained his goal and, in preaching his path to others, founded Buddhism..
The dual destruction of Konohagakure and Sunagakure can very easily be read as the dual attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima; even to the point that such events lead to the "end of war"/prelude to peace and modernization (although inversed between show and reality)
@StoryDive Here is something you missed. Konan, pain’s partner is often know as Lady Angel, which aka the goddess of mercy Guanyin who often come from heaven to help the helpless. the 10000 arm attack that is the 1st hokage ultimate attack is also a reference to guanyin, when lord Buddha decided to give her 10000 to reach and help people’s in need! Heck I believe the name of that attack even have “konan” in it. Konan is Guanyin in Japanese!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. P.S :- I DON'T MEAN TO SAY IT WAS *WRONG* TO COPY/TAKE INSPIRATION FROM KRISHNA/INDRA/SHIVA/HINDU MYTHOLOGY etc.

Wasn't the seal Monito used to put half the nine tails in baby Naruto also an 8 trigrams seal?

The guy that made naruto definitely did his homework
Sometimes it’s amazing and deep or they throw all world building out and give up
i wonder if he even watched it
It's probably common knowledge for the people of Japan
Masashi Kishimoto*

Apparently Kaguya's Yomotsu Yirasaka is a reference to the Japanese mythological slope that leads to the underworld.
Also, the White Zetsu army created by Kaguya resembles Yomotsu-Shikome, Izanami's minions of Yomi.
Naruto and Sasuke are also based off of the Shinto gods Fujin (the wind god) and Raijin (the lightning god) who are brothers
And also rivals
Also Sasuke's kirin is very similar to certain depictions of raiju, Raijin's helper animal which manifests itself as a lightning bolt
Ouff that's deep

Imagine being such an inspiration, an anime writer lowkey puts ur group in as a character… and it ends up being one of the most beloved characters.
The eagle summoning of Sasuke's is named "Garuna". That is also the name of Hindu god of bird.
Garuna / Garuda / Garunda... the pronunciation is hard to catch in English letters
That was awesome! Lots of research must go into these videos. Creators of these animes are trying to tell us something... art reflects reality.
They´re trying to tell us to change
In Hindu mythology there is a god called siva he has a 3rd eye if he fully opens the eye the world will be destroyed
Actually the universe
Yeah
Not world it will destroy everything
potential spoilers lol

Awesome video. I enjoyed it very much!
it is truly amazing how many old folk lore stories actually stole from naruto. thank you for this very important video
This is very interesting & informative 👍👏
Great videos I watched both
You forgot raijin god of lightning
And flying Raijin technic in Naruto allows user to move lighting fast
Yamma is also in hindu mythology known as God of death as I commented on your previous video
Now that I notice..many names are seriously hindi and sanskrit words😱...and kaguya is kind of depicting shiva🤔
When Atlantis created gene altered weapons against Lemuria, these yokai were it.
The way you said all there names was special
AMAZING VIDEO!!!👏👏👏👏
A boruto follow-up would be awesome!!!
Make me want to put my chevy caprice in the game 🎮 but that interior is killing it.
Summons in Naruto is like hindu mythology in which every god has their own vehicle animals for example lord Shiva has cow goddess Durga has lion 🦁
Budhism have lot of its share from hindism because gautam budha was once hindu prince who renounced his position and wealth to seek enlightenment as a spiritual ascetic, attained his goal and, in preaching his path to others, founded Buddhism..
Advaita vedanta is better
3 things I can’t live without:
Naruto
The karate kid (all 3 movies)
Cobra Kai
Yes make the 3rd installment!!!
Man I've been waiting for this for such a long time, thanks.
And i think it'd be awesome if you also did a video covering boruto.
_”my first girlfriend turned into a moon”_
_”that’s rough buddy”_
This is why I laugh when people say anime is for kids. They tend to be more complex and deep then what people think.
Very complex
Please do follow up video of the boruto series.
I'd like to see a Boruto video, I'd also like to see one for YuGiOhs magic
The dual destruction of Konohagakure and Sunagakure can very easily be read as the dual attacks on Nagasaki and Hiroshima; even to the point that such events lead to the "end of war"/prelude to peace and modernization (although inversed between show and reality)
Theres also a correlation between the Shinto Gods Raijin and Fujin, with Naruto and Sasake.
No Indra and Asura who are like Zuse vs the lavitaton.
@StoryDive Here is something you missed. Konan, pain’s partner is often know as Lady Angel, which aka the goddess of mercy Guanyin who often come from heaven to help the helpless. the 10000 arm attack that is the 1st hokage ultimate attack is also a reference to guanyin, when lord Buddha decided to give her 10000 to reach and help people’s in need! Heck I believe the name of that attack even have “konan” in it. Konan is Guanyin in Japanese!
I was suprise when Yamamoto suddenly appear.
They took that right off of a fanfic wiki lmao
Officially the 2700 like bro 👍😊
Well yama/yamraj is the god of hell in Hinduism.
I don’t know why but i love this ..
Wu-tang Pow!! I like your videos and I appreciate that you have knowledge of the anime the pronunciation is excellent. Have you done inyuasha?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.
P.S :- I DON'T MEAN TO SAY IT WAS *WRONG* TO COPY/TAKE INSPIRATION FROM KRISHNA/INDRA/SHIVA/HINDU MYTHOLOGY etc.
Yes, enjoyed the video very much, Please consider doing Hunter x Hunter also!
Ur best
bout time. Lol. no, thanks for doing it, gonna check it out, love your channel
Bro make boruto mythology video also plzzz
very good video
Great mythos references, but is there scientific esoteric knowledge? I thought there would be something like that.
love the wu-tang clan part
What a video 😮😮😮
Naruto basically got me into using eastern mythology for inspiration
i legit watched the story of creation before this and this popped
Yes please cover boruto
yes do a follow up
