Breakdown and Analysis
- The first episode already pulls you in to want to see Naruto succeed. We see so much progression with Naruto and the storyline with the Forbidden Jutsu.
- Naruto chose to see the brightness in everything. For him to turn into who he is in Shippuden is credit to his resilience.
- Naruto and Sasuke both had devastating childhoods but they turned out vastly different.
- Every life that Naruto touches is changed for the better.
- We Stan a strong Shikamaru!
- In order for Sasuke to become as strong or stronger than Naruto he needed to leave Konoha.
- Kakashi is the best
- Most of the characters had tough childhoods. Except for spoilt Sakura.
- Rock Lee is a fan fave! His drunken Taijutsu was everything! He has pure grit and, like Naruto, never gives up. Made sense to have him as the lead in the spin off.
- Neji is a natural born leader. He would always be there for the team and figure things out. His character development was a delight to watch. Rest in peace, our friend.
- We had a new found respect for Choji when he chose to stay behind on the first mission to rescue Sasuke.
Unrelated but vital points
- Happy 20th episode to us! Thanks to everyone that has been with us from the start and those that are new to the podcast.
- Michael B Jordan gets a shoutout before we get into the episode
- Sakura was the Samwell Tarly of the show.
- If Danzo pjs exist, please don’t tell us.
- Oti would rock Might Guy’s onesie. Coming to a Comic Con near you!

Ichigo's life completely changes one day when he and his two sisters are attacked by an evil, hungry and tormented spirit known as a Hollow. Right in the nick of time, Ichigo and his siblings are aided by a Shinigami (Death God) named Kuchiki Rukia, whose responsibility it is to send good spirits (Pluses) to the afterlife known as Soul Society, and to purify Hollows and send them up to Soul Society. But during the fight against the Hollow, Rukia is injured and must transfer her powers to Ichigo. With this newly acquired power, so begins Kurosaki Ichigo's training and duty as a Shinigami to maintain the balance between the world of the living and the world of the dead..."
