He's more popular than Sakura in the polls.

EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Do people even like Sakura besides shippers

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

God. The quiet room with the clock ticking is always the worst.

Good thing I have an alarm clock instead.

 

[grandjedi6]

literally everyone knows how to use the shadow clones Jiraiya

literally everyone

Everyone else uses the cheap knockoff. Only Naruto and a few others use the FORBIDDEN VERSION

Sakura was nearly cool but Kishimoto took a huge dump on her

but the same applies to most Naruto characters.

 

[Morlas]

He's more popular than Sakura in the polls.

EVERY SINGLE ONE.

kinda like hinata is also more popular than sakura in all teh polls too.

 

[Ray Down]

Iruka had a very defining moment with Naruto at the very start, his impact on Naruto and at the start of the series is basically inescapable.

He's basically like Shanks, except Shanks is actually important.

 

[Grexeno]

AH

THE LIGHT

IT BURNS

 

[Schadenfreude]

Naruto...

 

[ckohler]

Man... I can't get over how colorful this episode looks. Have they been running Shippuden through a "look like shit" filter up till now?

 

[Man God]

Iruka!!!

 

[Hellwarden]

Man looking back on it,

Spoiler

thank goodness they never brought Jiraiya back.

 

[cntr]

HD Naruto almost feels like a different show

Man looking back on it,

Spoiler

thank goodness they never brought Jiraiya back.

holy shit, I'm mad just from imagining it

 

[Man God]

Everyone else uses the cheap knockoff. Only Naruto and a few others use the FORBIDDEN VERSION

Other villages love the sick ass elemental versions.

 

[Morlas]

not gonna lie that was really touching

 

[Doctor Decimate]

THE MOST SYMBOLIC POPSICLE

Sakura was nearly cool but Kishimoto took a huge dump on her

I think Kishi outright said he tried to make her more popular at one point but then just gave up, lol.

kinda like hinata is also more popular than sakura in all teh polls too.

Hinata is besto girl.

Also guys it's moments like this that despite Iruka low appearance count he's really popular.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Iruka the father I wish i had.

 

[YoodiHoshi]

Just got done watching Nostalgia Critic's review of Fant4stic.

"Literally building chemistry"

 

[cntr]

what

did they really use the bubble guy for that bump??

 

[Mizerman]

Man looking back on it,

Spoiler

thank goodness they never brought Jiraiya back.

It was a good decision.

 

[the_sun_king]

Jiraiya and Iruka are the two best adult characters in the series.

After this moment in the manga, I officially dropped it as I saw no reason to continue.

 

[Seda]

what

did they really use the bubble guy for that bump??

"there's no such thing as filler" according to Toonami

 

[Ray Down]

Man looking back on it,

Spoiler

Kishi was thinking about it, but couldn't think it would help grow Naruto anymore or a new challenge for him to over come so he never did.

Best decision he made.

 

[ckohler]

I'm not going to front, this is a legit good episode of Shippuden.

Man, just look how bad those bumps look compaired to this episode. Blurry. Washed out colors.

 

[Moaradin]

"there's no such thing as filler" according to Toonami

*Except that one time with Star Wars: Clone Wars

 

[Man God]

"there's no such thing as filler" according to Toonami

He's apparently canon anyways.

 

[cntr]

If Kishimoto knew what he was doing, Iruka would've been a major character.

But he didn't, so.

 

[BBboy20]

KFCs aren't around where I live anymore.

No TOM, I don't.

 

[Moaradin]

If Kishimoto knew what he was doing, Iruka would've been a major character.

But he didn't, so.

The anime actually does a pretty nice thing with his character in the final episodes.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

*Except that one time with Star Wars: Clone Wars

the funny thing is that episode is better than most of the Shippuden filler

 

[Morlas]

Sakura's personality was never the problem, it's all the shitty things that kishi made her do like making fun of naruto for being an orphan, or

Spoiler

lying about being in love with naruto

and kishi never really had her make up for it, that in addition to her unhealthy obsession with sasuke.

 

[B-Dubs]

If Kishimoto knew what he was doing, Iruka would've been a major character.

But he didn't, so.

If he knew what he was doing Iruka and Jiriaya would have been the same guy.

 

[Grexeno]

"Well I was code-breaking on no sleep so not great."

 

[Man God]

Make Naruto do it.

 

[grandjedi6]

Oh right, this girl existed for 5 seconds lol

And she has the same voice as every female

 

[cntr]

...is Naruto really talking about encryption?

 

[caliph95]

If Kishimoto knew what he was doing, Iruka would've been a major character.

But he didn't, so.

This the guy that brought us Kaguya and wasted Lee i doubt he has any idea

 

[ckohler]

Code breaking no-jutsu

 

[Schadenfreude]

Guys, I present to you the best Naruto girl. Code cracker girl with her messy hair and weird bottle glasses is my true waifu.

 

[SigmasonicX]

This glasses girl gets an oddly large amount of focus around here, then just disappears.

 

[Ray Down]

Forgot that Shion had a random crush on Shikamaru.

BOOBS! WOW!

 

[Hellwarden]

Oh geez, this character.

Kishi straight up forgets about her eventually.

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh right, this girl existed for 5 seconds lol

And she has the same voice as every female

For a hot minute I thought she'd amount to more than she did. How silly I was.

 

[Grexeno]

It's going to take Shikamaru about 15 episodes longer than it should for him to figure out "oh, DUH, Naruto!"

 

[Doctor Decimate]

is the code word naruto

 

[Man God]

Yep.

 

[Crocodile]

How would Naruto NOT be the first person Shikamaru thinks about. C'mon son.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

106 Centimeters Gate.

 

[Hellwarden]

BOING.

 

[cntr]

I totally forgot about this fucking plot point
