Remember she has a fear of blood, that's why he won

Many other ppl have mentioned this but I wanted to add a bit. Tsunade has a fear of blood, but it’s not something random, she developed her fear of blood because of her traumatic experience with her partner dying in front of her. Notice the amount of blood in the scene where she tries to keep him alive. So when Kabuto cuts his hand and splashes his blood on Tsunade, she’s paralyzed by her traumatic stress response, which is why he wins. Only when Tsunade is able to find new hope in Naruto, instead of living in the past with her late brother and partner, she’s able to overcome her fear. Leaving her past behind means leaving her trauma too, and her trauma was what was weakening her.

The worst part about these is the wait for the next one.

Tsunade is bae. And "I will die right along with you" is one of the hardest lines ever.

They are all nerfed on this fight. Orochimaru without his arms Jiraiya is drugged Tsunade is still suffering from Kabuto attack and this is her first battle since ages after her "boyfriend" died cuz of her blood trauma

6:20 Pretty sure Jiraya said "I will kill you right here" in the original. They tiptoe around that A LOT in the original Naruto. Usually stop / defeat / beat means kill.

I enjoy that you actually pause the show to talk instead of talking over. That’s how reactions should be !

The knife went fully through his hand in the manga and it was sick

I forgot how much of a MENACE kabuto was in this lmao

And yes, as others said, tsunade has hemophobia. She just had an off switch till she got past it

Orochimaru is based for saying only a fool would want to be a Hokage. It’s literally a desk job.

Tsunade's first fight after being drunk along 30 years its inspiring😂

How Kabuto figured out how to move his nervous system in the manner of seconds, is still one of the sickest things in the series!

Nice bro, keep doing these more often, they're incredibly entertaining to watch, especially because it's Naruto tbh, but still Keep it up

11:48 For sure. Kishimoto, the author of this series, has gone on record saying he isn’t great at writing women; which is why so many female characters end up boy-crazy or one-note. I’d say despite that he did a banger job with Tsunade, though. Tenten and Temari are also like, normal human beings and don’t base their entire characters around their crush, so I guess there’s that, but they’re minor characters. Hinata’s also shy and into Naruto, but her crush is more endearing than clingy, and we see her devote herself to personal growth for reasons beyond something as shallow as getting with a cute guy. Naruto inspires her, but he isn’t her goal. But I have to give credit for 57:15 to give reason for Sakura and Ino to be the way they are to help Shikamaru grow. It’s not like people like those two don’t exist.

Jiraya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are actually plucked right from japanese folklore (as far as i know) as masters of toad, slug, and snake magic respectively. So, that's at least one reason their summoned animals aren't things like lions :)

“Dreams don’t come true when you’re dead!” I really like the line from Kabuto.

yessss! 🎉 we back on the binge on Bois. I genuinely feel like I'm rewatching the series but with a friend who gives excellent reactions 😅. quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers. can't wait until you get to shippuden.

Did you not catch Tsunade’s fear of blood? That’s why Kabuto got to her so easily, he used his own blood to trigger her.

Don't underestimate the power of anime tears. They depetrified pokemon

If you think Naruto grabbing the kunai with the webbing of his fingers is baller… In the manga, it just straight up goes through his entire hand and he grabs Kabuto that way.

One of my favorite most underrated silly lines in all of naruto comes from Kabuto when he says “Dreams don’t come true and you’re dead” 😂😂 Later on I think in shippuden they flash back to the exact moment but his line is completely different but I noticed lol

Hi! The song that played over that iconic scene between lee and guy is called "Oh! Student and teacher affection". I'm not really sure if that's the official name for the OST but they're all titled like that on KZfaq, so you should be able to enjoy that beautiful piece if you search that! Love the reaction btw! Not enough reactors actually watches the dub version, it's not perfect, but it's one of the good ones out there, you can tell that that the Dub VAs actually put effort to give emotional scenes like the one with guy and lee the justice it deserves, so thank you!

kabuto stomping the shit out of naruto is a meme in itself lol...dude literally turned into a wwe heel LOL

Samuel Jackson coming in to shut Kabuto up had me dying laughing 😂 Thanks for the upload, you’ve got the most entertaining reactions/commentary in the genre in my opinion and I enjoy hearing your thought process as the show progresses.

lmao - you are following through with your less cussing from you claim in the last video love the creative to put "believe it" in there

🎉 LET'S GO 🎉

Stayed up until 1am to watch this and wasn't disappointed, can't wait for the next one to come out. Keep up the amazing content 🎉

Okay does anybody else think the yellow frog sounds like Mr. Hankey?

If you don't care for the 1st naruto movie after checking it out, I highly recommend the 3rd one, even if you skip the 2nd one. The third one is really unique in my opinion, and it has a great cast. It's called Crescent Moon Island or something iirc. The animation is insane.

You're literally one of the very very few people that actually acknowledges how Sakura cares of everyone and the little stuff she does for those she cares about. 🌺

Man I laughed through out your reactions every time 😂😂 , thanks much needed that keep making them 🙌🏾🙌🏾 ..

Genuinely, you so quickly became one of my favorite reactors! Glad to have to back after your break!

"Back with a vengeance" Posts two videos almost back to back 😮😁 love the naruto videos, hopefully naruto shippuden is in your future

Bro is the definition of silently screaming 😂

love thiss it always makes my day when i get to binge with raiju ty so much :)

One of my favorite reaction people back so soon, we didn't deserve this, but I'm so thankful!

Dude gotta say your still my favorite reactor out there right now lol your reactions always seem genuine and your not scared to say you don't like something even if other might. Keep going man!

Love you man, the best way to start into the weekend 🎉❤

I get so excited to see these naruto binges mate haha

always happy to see a new vid! thanks for the upload!

Yes yes yes please make it to movie 3 of OG naruto it is the best of them all (1 is pretty good too)

I was like wow it’s been a while since he last uploaded… then he does two back to back? Awesome

Awesome video! I don’t know what it is about your reactions, but I love them. Could literally watch these all day. Can’t wait for the next one!

I've watched quite a bit of people reacting to anime before, but you are definitely the best, we can clearly see your genuine emotions while watching the anime. It feels like we're watching it with a friend, keep it up man, there's so much more in this anime that you're gonna love, and I'll definitely be here watching along!

LETS GOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY DAY WAY BETTER NOW

It always makes my day to see a new one come on my feed. I love that you kept going with this and eagerly await the next one

My man! Wasn't expecting another binge so soon!

Having seen the horror movie Slither around the time this came out, Katsuyu breaking down into a million smaller slugs traumatized me the first time lol. But it's only gross because we associate slugs with being gross I suppose.

Thank you @solo for these super fast back to back videos! Really enjoy your reactions and attitude! Don’t mind all the swearing either lol

I’ve waited so long for this vid it was so worth it 🔥

Was not expecting him to post again so soon what a pleasant surprise

I'm so happy we didn't have to wait much for another great video! Hopefully more are to come!

You are my favorite Naruto reacter, and it's not close. Your editing, your commentary, all of it is top-notch, man. Good to have you back!

Tsunade has an arsenal of ninjutsu but she typically relies on taijutsu because it is more aligned with her fighting style. As a medical nin, ninjutsu wastes too much chakra using attacks that might not even land. Using taijutsu and her crazy strength, she expends chakra mainly when her attacks land and reserves it for medical ninjutsu

Glad to see you are back and churning out these absolutely great reactions.

I love watching you watch these dude. So nostalgic and having this arc hit the heart after the madness of the past two arcs. I do t believe I’ve ever seen any of the movies though. Wonder how that will go.

Watching you is so entertaining, you have the best reactions! Thank you for reacting to Naruto and I'm glad you enjoy the series as much as many of us here did.

Wow this one was up pretty fast! Nice surprise to wake up to. You’re quickly becoming one of my favourite reactors and your editing just keeps getting better and better!

I literally look forward to your videos every day I check KZfaq just for your videos

🚨Wake Up ! Raiju uploaded again🎊

1:16:53 The epic rock baĺlad playing during Lee and Guy's conversation is called 'Oh! Student and Teacher Affection" which can be found on the Naruto Original Soundtrack Volume 3. It's one that never fails to make me tear up.

SoloRaiju uploaded? Historic W 🙏🏻

This arc deals with action, comic, pratice and deep thoughts, that's a really good one 👍🏻 I like your raw réactions

IM SO READY

cant wait for the next episode, love your reactions to naruto!

love watching your reactions to Naruto especially since its my all time favourite anime! please keep doing them you make me laugh as well with your humour and the little edits 😂😂

great video raiju i love your sense of humor

Hey man! Been keeping up with your Naruto reacts- good work as always! The song for the moment between Lee and Gai near the end is from the Naruto OST 3, titled 嗚呼、師弟愛 (or "Oh! Student and Teacher Affection"). Really good track!

I enjoy this content. I never really watched it. Only read the manga, so getting an annotated version works pretty well for me.

After all the years i still cry at the all the Rock Lee and Guy scenes

Im so glad you love the anime, I can't wait till the movie and the next set of episodes!!!!

He teased a Friday release and he wasn’t playing! 🎉

I'm glad you liked Tsunade! She is one of my favorite characters in the shown, and easily my favorite among the women. Not only is she so well developed as a character, she is badass as well. Now I'll answer a few questions you had. "What does destroying the Leaf have to do with immortality?" Orochimaru simply has a grudge against the Leaf, he doesn't want to destroy it for his immortality plan or anything. I believe they mentioned it back in the Chunin Exams arc, but the reason he is suspected of having a grudge against the Leaf potentially has to do with how ironically at one point Orochimaru DID want to be 4th Hokage. However, the 3rd Hokage (his sensei) chose someone else because he sensed evil in Orochimaru's heart. This likely felt insulting to Orochimaru, like his talents were being overlooked. In addition the grudge is likely even more personal now, because in taking his arms the 3rd Hokage caused him tons of pain and inconvenience. In revenge he surely wants to destroy what the 3rd found most precious to him, the village. Hope that makes sense, Orochimaru just has some twisted irrational grudge vs the Leaf basically. "How is the title of Sannin given?". Good question. There are only 3 Sannin, and they are the 3 students of the 3rd Hokage. Sannin literally translated to "three ninja". It's not really an official title or rank, but more of a term the ninja world uses to refer to those 3 because of how powerful they are and how much they have influenced ninja history (through accomplishments in war, mainly). All 3 are more than strong enough to be a Kage, they're extremely impressive and world famous. Even in the flashbacks where you saw Tsunade was younger they had already made a name for themselves in some of the shinobi world wars and as we saw were already called the Sannin back then. "How can Kabuto beat Sannin level opponents?". So let me first say, normally he cannot beat a Sannin or Tsunade for that matter. He is not on their level, not even close. As other characters have hinted at, he is very strong though and is more or less in Kakashi's league. That alone is still extremely impressive, because Kakashi (while not being Sannin level) is extremely strong. Kakashi is strong enough to be qualified for the Hokage position if need be, even if he is not on the level of some of the strongest characters in the series. So why did Kabuto beat Tsunade then? First off, it seems you may have missed that Tsunade had a fear of blood (or maybe you knew and said it edited out). She gained that fear when she was traumatized by Dan's death, if you recall her hands were covered in his blood. That's the primary reason Kabuto was able to win, he sprayed his own blood all over her which sent her into a state of shock essentially and she was no longer able to fight back because she had a PTSD attack essentially. Before that Tsunade had the upper hand and would have destroyed him. Worse case scenario Kabuto would have forced her to use the Mitotic Regeneration jutsu she used to heal those impalement wounds Orochimaru gave her and that would heal any damage Kabuto did to her, he would have been f*cked. Don't listen to anyone that tells you Kabuto is Sannin level, he is not. He took advantage of her fear of blood. Also, the only reason he was able to keep up with her in Taijutsu was likely because she was both rusty and just mentally weaker at that time. After she got over her fear of blood and starting beating the tar out of Orochimaru I think it's plain to see that her overall movements became faster, stronger, and sharper. Her mental state in general likely gave Kabuto an advantage. Not to say Kabuto is weak, he is extremely strong and is kage level like Kakashi. Tsuande and the Sannin put him to shame though, he is not on their level. "Is Tsunade stronger than the other Sannin" Probably not, I think most would say Jiraiya and Orochimaru are about 1 tier above her in overall power despite Tsuande being one of the strongest ninja alive. They would never beat Tsunande in hand to hand combat though, they'd get clobbered l;like Orochimarui did since that's her specialty. She focused chakra in her fists or other body parts to explosively amplify the power of her taijutsu strikes, it's actually similar to medical ninjutsu and involves tons of complex chakra control which is why only she can use it on that level. She also just has monstrous physical strength on top of that, no one really compares to her in that regard. Those 2 have the edge in the ninjutsu department is all. It just seemed like Tsuande was stronger to you because Jiraiya and Orochimaru are super nerfed here. Orochimaru lost all ninjutsu with no arms, and Jiraiya is probably even worse off with how heavily drugged he is. HOWEVER, the difference in power is not that big. They would probably beat her in a fight 1 vs 1, but it would be a very difficult fight for them and they would likely take some considerable damage in the process. Tsunade is not to be trifled with, she's the real deal and very OP especially with her automatic self-healing jutsu which is her trump card.

Rock Lee and Guy are some of the best characters in the entire show. I definitely had the same reaction where whenever they got on screen I'd just really feel the scene more, they are just the most inspiring duo, always giving it their all to achiever their dreams. Love your reactions, seeing how you are connecting with different aspects of the story along with your commentary/insights, and can't wait to see more!

Hell yeah. Every time I see one of Raiju's vids I get so excited.

Love your videos fr❤

Rewatching the rock lee and guy sensei dynamic was emotional. Didn't pay attention to how strong their bond was first time watching.

When Gamatatsu talks all I hear is “don’t forget to bring a towel”

Shikamaru dad is the best dad in the series

yea im down to see the movies along side this lol you got a long way to go till the end of just the base 9 seasons XD and ill be here for the journey

So glad you noticed the moment of Naruto gracefully walking out of the hospital room :) love this little goon

I fucking LOVE watching your reactions. I love Naruto and it's so fun watching someone reacting and enjoying it

Funny thing when Orochimaru said that thing "Only fools would want to be Hokage", he wanted to be the Hokage at one point and when he wasn't chosen he left the village crying like a bitch and then wanted to destroy it out of spite 🙂 I like how Shikamaru is made into this kids with somewhat flawed values about girls, it shows that very high IQ doesn't come with wisdom.. wisdom is somehing that comes with life experience and he still has a lot of growing up to do Guy and Rock have the best relationship, like full honesty and openess So almost halfway through Naruto, I am looking forward to Shippuden already, but gr8 reactions 🙂

Im pretty sure Orochimarus snake is voiced by Captain Ginyu himself. Would of been way funnier if he voiced Gamabunta instead IYKYK.

Just taking note that at 1:02:40, guy says he got Lee “rare Chinese herbal medicine balls”, which confirms that in Naruto China still exists

37:35 - "all in"? yes, that's a superb analogy, she is indeed making her greatest gamble betting on Naruto. unlike her history of bad gambles, that's her jackpot spin.

The edit of Samuel L Jackson and the Rock every time Kabuto tried to talk 🤣

47:15 - pretty much, she uses her Chakra to turn back the clock on her physiology, now that it is waining, she's literally starting to feel her age.

The ost that played during Gai and Rock Lee is scene is called "Teacher and Student Affection" easily one of my fav ost of all times.

Tf Kabuto! Just kicking everyone on the ground😂😂😂

The next set of episodes 👀. Can’t wait. Keep these uploads coming as fast as possible.

the summons are like rock paper scissors where one is weak against one, but can beat another. Thats why this summons between all three is known as the threeway deadlock summon

Can't wait for the next arc. btw. Nobody in the comments talking about Lee and Guy...I teared up the first time, the fact that this random teacher feels so connected to him that he would die without him. Then they back it in the scene before, "You and I are a lot a like, we can't survive without our Ninja way guiding us", it's when you realize, that Guy's ninja way Guy Goal is to make Lee a great ninja, and if Lee dies, he has no reason to live also... It's an amazing scene

Others have said it as well, but I’m figuring that you’ll be more likely to see with more comments. Tsunade had a crippling fear of blood, traumatized by her past with her loved ones dying around her. I’m fairly sure that’s the weakness that a Orochimaru told Kabuto. She only was able to get over it because of Naruto.

Jiraiya: Toad with sword Orochimaru: Big snek Tsunade: Glob of toothpaste?

59:45 - Guy: "HEY! i wasnt like 'screw Kakashi', he's my rival you know? but Lee is my student and i want him to be his youthful and vigorous self again! he's been in a depression since the incident!"

16:15 - Tsunade specializes in Taijutsu for Offense and Medical Ninjitsu for Support. so no, she's not like Rock Lee where she cant do anything else, it's just something simple she can use when in a scuffle.

The village probably looks more developed back then than now because a lot of the village was destroyed the night the 9 tales attacked

Your reactions are pretty good tbh.. I keep having to remind myself that this is the first time you are watching it though.. I know what's going to happen because I watched it several times.. but one thing I noticed about you is that you pick up stuff that went over my head the first time i watched it..
