Boruto is no where near the level of this masterpiece. What an amazing opening arc.

People always like to shit on how Naruto tries to empathize with the villains, but this scene is what made him. A cold blooded killer who people called a demon was a man who cared deeply for his subordinate. Naruto believes even the most evil of people have good inside of them

"I can't cry for Zabuza" Proceeds to cry and blame the music. Lmao.

Damn it, I remember how I cried with this part, one of the best opening arcs I've seen in an anime

In the original manga, Zabuza decapitated Gatou. I guess that was too violent to show at the time.

This when we first saw the strongest move in anime history the talk no jutsu😂😂

Haku's sad sacrifice, Naruto's innocence and empathy made even a cruel ninja like Zabuza cry, but Kakashi didn't cry! we see very clearly his sadness and his respect for the last moments of Haku and zabuza, yet no tears were shed... When we subsequently learn of kakashi's past, we understand that he has exhausted all the tears from his body... This character is one of the best written characters in all the history of manga and film and series scripts...

What an incredible episode.. Amazing opening arc. It gives us a great example of how deep and diverse this show is. It can have thrilling action scenes, heavy drama stuff and goofy comedy. Og Naruto is one of the best anime adaptations ever, imo. Not only the manga itself is the best shonen ever, imo. But the anime also is so well done. From the arstyle and animation, direction, incredible OST, great voice acting. Truly a timeless masterpiece!

Classic Naruto is a work of art, and I can prove it.

The land of the waves arc is probably the most iconic and most loved arc, everything in it is made so damn well.

thank you for including me

best example of a 10/10 ep

Zabuza is a perfect example of how cruel the world of Naruto is. For every ninja like Naruto, who has a team and friends, you have one like Zabuza, who had nothing, and became a demon to survive.

This was the first time I cried watching naruto

This is an example of just perfect writing.

I greatly appreciate uploading these in order. Like other channels are fine uploading reactions to whatever and people only have what's available.. but it's nice going through the story and seeing everyone's reactions as it unfolds. I remember when I first started watching - and it's not like Naruto is the most emotional anime or whatever - but Zabuza caving and expression his emotions and all that for Haku really helped me open up the mindset that villains aren't always just villains. It also set the standards of the Naruto Universe in that there are rarely outright "evil" characters. They are people that had experiences in life - and as such had different perspectives. There weren't too many shounen anime that played around with that concept.

Great mashup as always

Fun fact: The great Naruto bridge is an actual bridge connecting Minamiawaji, Hyogo on Awaji Island with Naruto, Tokushima on Ōge Island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%8Cnaruto_Bridge

it's amazing how perfectly planned out this opening arc was. What happened in Shippuden? It just never quite got back to this level of storytelling.

3:35 Naruto mastered the Talk No Jutsu

Dude, there isn't a time I watch the scene of Zabuza saying his goodbyes to Haku that my eyes doesn't get filled with tears. It was the most emocionating and sad thing that I watched on my childhood, and even now gets me, it's just too perfect.

To this day, one of the best episodes of the Naruto franchise and one of my favorite anime episodes of all time.

new video again, thank you so much!

I wait for every single episode you put out

"This is emotional shit man" One of the pretty ways to summarize Land of Wales arc.

Dubbed version "Your words cut deep... deeper than any sword"

Keep it up man!!!

If you didn't cry during this scene, you're lying.

i watched these episodes back in 2004 when i was just 7, time flies so fast.

Imagine kakashi and zabuza deadly duo

Ahhh finally 😍

A notificação que eu estava esperando

It's too good

keep it up bro

Imagine how differently the story could have gone had Haku & Zabuza survived this arc? Especially if they were to have chosen to join Konoha after Naruto managed to "Talk no Jutsu" Zabuza. He could have been a huge help (as would Haku) in arcs like the Chunin Exams (where Zabuza & Haku could have shown up to try and back up Naruto, Sakura, & Sasuke against Gaara & Shukaku) & the Sasuke Retrieval Arc (where Haku could have saved Neji from Kidomaru & Zabuza could have saved Choji from Jirobo). And then in Shippuden they could easily have grown even stronger during the time-skip. Such an eventuality could even have led to an arc involving Konoha dealing with Kirigakure being "upset" that they took in one of their rogue ninja (Zabuza) rather than just turning him over to them, and could even have served to introduce Mei Terumi earlier than normal.

God early Naruto was pure masterpiece

crying when zabuza said, i hope i can go to same place as you

The only scene at which I cried in my over 100+ anime watches is when zabuza cried. I could feel his human side for the first time and how he admired Haku. That got me hard.

あぁ、ハクはサスケを仮死状態にしたってことか。

I dont know who else realized, but Zabuza called Haku an angel. He said, he is Not going to where Haku is and then said hes going to hell.

My fav episode

remember this when people compare naruto to other animes, naruto will make you bawl your eyes out for a piece of shit character that you wished you could torture just a few minutes before. and it happen again and again. this is why when i see people compare naruto to something like my hero academia i can just laugh, because, there's just no comparisson.

Be nice to see Inari in boruto

first :)

E visto Naruto y Naruto shimpuden y pienso que el mejor villano es zabusa por su gramatica,por su resistencia y por sus tecnicas Buenos capitulos felicidades

Facts: Sasuke really almost died on that fight..but he was healed immediately along with Naruto when the nine tailed fox chakra was unleashed.

nice

I am gonna cry

Man I miss when Naruto used to be SOMEWHAT grounded. After the original story arc before Shippuden wrapped up it just got worse and worse.

I don't even think demon slayer episode 19 hinokami kagura is on par with this level of emotion

1st Talk No Jutsu 😢

The dub version of this hits different

6:50 where can he run its a dead end

No Manga isso 6:27 - 6:40 é um "Pouquinho" Mais Violento .

Talk no jutsu origin 😭🥹

third

Zabuza saying his goodbyes One random atheist chick: I DONT BELIEVE IN HEAVEN OR HELL 🤡

can i ask a question? who is the guy in the middle right

The animation is absurd.

tf man why they gotta kill zabuza

This is

i don't how, this opening arc is amazing, romance story telling it was good but this was mention to lgbtq right?😂 i don't how i feel to zabuza and haku, i love this villain character, relationship zabuza and haku it's good but i feel like gross coz the two same gender love each other😂😂

I prefer Naruto’s lines in the dub.. here the translation of the subtitles don’t cut as deep…

Whos Gay zabuza or Haku?

English dubbed is allot better in this scene... "Your words cut deeper then any blade"

its been 20 years since this episode was dl. and its still burns. especial when you lived as a tool thinkkng nothing more. also still get you when youre arm is broken and you still have the will to move it, to reach for something important.
