ONLY TOONAMI I thought it was only fair you got this one! Our 10-year + 8-month journey with Naruto: Shippuden ends tonight!! 1 2
Toonamiguy321 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Can’t believe we actually made it. When this started and people calculated the end date, it seemed impossible. But now we are here, just a few hours away from the final episode. Need some perspective? When we sat down for the first episode, as well as the world premier of Space Dandy, Obama was still the president. How much things have changed since then. 1 2
Mr. Idea Box Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 As the East Coast begins tonight's Toonami broadcast, let me just say this. I am completely surprised that Naruto somehow aired the entire story on Toonami's airwaves. Sure, there have been some setbacks throughout history, the four-year gap that allowed for Disney X.D. to scoop up the rights being chief among them, but at the end of the day, I'm kinda glad we can send this Hokage out to the tune of "Here Comes the Bride", or whatever the Japanese equivalent is. On the other hand, even when the Attack on Titan finale ended at the beginning of this year, I still thought this was an impossibility. Now that it's actually going to happen in a few hours, I will send out my own words of parting. PARTY NO JITSU! FREE RAMEN FOR ALL! BELIEVE IT! (with apologies to the Japanese seiyuu) 3

How much things have changed since then. i was about a year into college in 2005 when Naruto premiered. i remember using the computer lab at my school during digital literacy class to read about the dub announcement. George W. Bush was still president. toonami's very first naruto marathon, i was on a family vacation in florida and i remember my older cousins thinking it was odd that i spent nearly the whole weekend watching a cartoon so intently. i was in college with Brandy Camel (i that name means anything to anyone) and i remember her excitedly showing me her phone's new ringtone - it was "Wind", naruto's first ending theme. i didn't recognize it because the anime hadn't premiered in america yet and i'd only been reading the manga. it's been a real ride 1 1
CorbeauKarasu Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 "Because I'm Iruka" classic ninja move
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 This is 500? Thought we were on 498 or 499. Wasting time in the last episode on a flashback?!
CorbeauKarasu Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 god, i think Naruto is the same age now that Iruka was in that episode 2

And it's amazing thinking back. I watched the entire thing here on Toonami and also that Disney run. "New" episodes have been such a fixture for some many, many years. Like you said, never thought we'd get the whole run. 2
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Seemed like these three rascals were going to be set up for something, but I don't think they're in Boruto at all.
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Naruto is finally back! Thought I'd stop by here to see if you're still alive. 🤣 So that explains this crime scene. 🤣 You were just his grade school teacher, dude, not his dad.
CorbeauKarasu Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 too late to sow your wild oats, Naruto 1

If you mean Konohamaru and his two friends, I almost forget sometimes too, but I think that's just because Moegi's more adult design is so different from her kid design, but yeah felt like they'd be even bigger than "just" teachers. Edit: Or was it the three even younger kids? Edited September 1, 2024 by DangerMouse 1
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I spoke too soon about the dad thing. 😄 But I'm surprised Naruto didn't pick Kakashi for that. He'd probably have picked Jiraiya if he was still alive. So who is mom? 😄 2

Yeah those three should have gotten more time. I was talking about the three NEW rascals Iruka has been dealing with in this arc. I realize now they'd probably be teenagers compared to Boruto and co, but ain't don't recall them appearing at all. And what an amazing coincidence all of Naruto's friends had kids at the same time! 1
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Orochimaru NO. Oh hey Orochimaru's disappointing protege is still around. 😄 1

I can't remember if they've shown up either now that you mention it. Edited September 1, 2024 by DangerMouse 1
Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I noticed just the other day that an actual ramen place opened up near me. Kind of a cool coincidence that happens just as the final episode is about to be airing. So of course to honor the occasion, I'm gonna check the place out tomorrow and get myself a nice big steaming bowl of ramen and experience for myself hopefully what all the fuss they make in this show is all about. 3

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Do those two ever walk on their feet anymore? LOL 1
CorbeauKarasu Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 please stop saying doggy-back riding 2
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Why are you wearing face paint to a wedding? Ebisu is a cheap-ass lmao. Eh, that girl was the ramen shop owner's daughter all along? Contain yourselves, Guy and Lee! 2
DangerMouse Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 And now for the teases of the rest of the shipping hookups 2
OwlChemist81 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 And THAT is why Sarada exists in Bort! 1 1
CorbeauKarasu Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 boyfriend: i couldn't be your date to the wedding, so i sent you a text. later, buckley. 4
ben0119 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 So, what is Akamaru's lifespan? D: Wow, Shino is good with kids. Shikamaru is good with the ladies and doesn't even know it. 🤣 And Sakura all alone. FUCK Sasuke. Kakashi in a suit with that mask lmao. 2
DangerMouse Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 (edited) Mirai looks pretty different older even the hair color heh. Wish she'd get more to do in Boruto. Edited September 1, 2024 by DangerMouse
