[Premium Access] Naruto - Episode 96 Deadlock: Sannin Showdown! - Group Reaction

Also nice outro guys but take my other comment on episode 98 into consideration pls..

John

Orochimaru is op no normal ninja would be able to survive all of those punches from tsunade she had to put extra monstrous strength into her last punch is why he got knocked out momentarily lol

John

This really pisses me off

Katsuyu is actually a very powerful.and useful summon

Fred Carmichael

stop posting spoilers here, what's wrong with you

PS

@Rabnod Mass MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES. Kakashi became Hokage because Kishi wanted Naruto to be the 7th. 7 is an important number in Japan for various reasons. I disagree with @Aadit Doshi that he was weaker than Tsunade, and the others were literally all God teir Shinobi. There's nothing to be ashamed of being considered weaker then them. But remember Kakashi in the end has the Perfect MS, and basically all the powers Tobi had. And let's be real the 5th Hokage should have been Itachi. If all that stuff didn't happen, there was no one more qualified in terms of strength comparable to the previous 4. And Tsunade rarely got a chance to shine because the series is called Naruto. 90% of the series was Naruto and Sasuke. Basically everyone else was secondary.

Cory Hawks

Get used to flashbacks in this show

Scar

This is about the point when these first airred, that I stopped.

Nicholas & Heather

All respect best girl Katsuyu.

Mike Strider

Ik but chill a bit it will show later in the series y katsuyu is lit

Why a slug summons? Well, lots of other people have commented on the rock paper scissors aspect of the sannin trio...and some have defended Katsuya referencing her usefulness. But on top of that, IIRC slugs have associations with medicine and healing. Slug slime has been used for centuries in that field...so Tsunade's summon is an appropriately medical type. :)

Julie Nichols

What a way to close out an Arc. Excellent soundtrack choice for the final scene, loved your reaction to it.

Keep It Zen

Don't sleep on Katsuyu like this! 😭😂

botanbutton

I love the summoning fight you guys had a good reaction to this episode overall. Also make sure to skip episode 99 it’s 100% filler

Ez

You can now watch naruto movie 1

weeniehutjr

Hunter, much better editing my guy, well done.

Brandon Guthrie

Well duh this is Kishimoto and Tsunade is a woman. You surprised?

DAki

Tsunade has to be the most undeserving Hokage out of all of them lol. The only reason she became Hokage is because of her relation to the First, literal nepotism. Not only is she the weakest Sannin, she's weaker than many of the current Jonin. Itachi would even body her.

Now is probably the time to bring this up. Naruto's Creator Masahi Kishimoto, tends to base his work and a good chunk of Naruto. On the History, Folklore and Overall Religion of Japan's and eastern Cultures. These characters (the 3 sanin) are based on an actual tale, known as Jiraya the Galant and have been adapted pretty well to this anime. In Japan the even have this rock paper scissors type of game, which is why this episode is titled the three way deadlock. Slug beats Snake, Snake beats Toad, and Toad beats Slug. As the series continue more will appear and there have been some before. Like Itachi's move Tsukyomi is actually named after a Shinto God. And the Hyuga clan's Ideals could be based on the Hindu Caste and Darma system

It was funny how savage Naruto was re: Tsunade lmao. The fact he called her out on living a lie was surprisingly insightful and perceptive. I love these bratty and childish moments of his that balance out his ferocity and tenacity when fighting. And I thought that ending was beautiful too! It came full circle, and the fact that a dream can be immortalized through different people who believe in it is really touching. It was lovely closure for Tsunade. I’m loving your ending discussions too! I love when you guys speculate or want to know more about certain things. Your questions about the village’s awareness of Tsunade and her potential inauguration are very relevant because, as you know, that will be answered in the next few eps. I’m glad you didn’t skip any of 98-100. I can’t wait to watch the next one! And the new remix outro song you chose for the shoutouts is so good!!!!!! I don’t want the video to ever end just to listen some more lol. I have to go find and download it 🔥 The new design, font, and message are nice too! You guys are so creative.

Sally

bruh stop no hints

Alex cleveland

I loved your reaction to this episode!!!! It was even better than I hoped!!! Wasn’t it so satisfying to see Tsunade pummel Orochimaru like that? I felt every punch she threw. I’m glad she didn’t start off as invincible but went through this whole emotional arc where she had to overcome her fear of blood and find her resolve again before showing off some of her true abilities - it adds depth to her character and makes it feel more realistic. She’s a total badass! Who else can lift up Gamabunta’s bigass sword and pierce Manda to the ground like that? 💪💅 Lol I found it so amusing how grossed out Rana was by Katsuyu and how it made you all recall Grade 12 Biology 😂 I think she’s cute and her abilities are cool! I’m way more grossed out by Orochimaru’s slimy mile long tongue and snake tongue sword bullshit. But Nahid’s right, Gamatatsu is best toad!! ❤️ He’s that special brother that just wants to eat some snacks and have fun. His voice is 👌

Sally

I just want them to meet know PAIN 🥺 but i know we are a long way aways from that.

mashallah alhumidllah inshallah better

mghool4ever

Naruto: talks mad shit about everyone Also Naruto: Why does the village hate me? (ps its just a joke pls believe Naruto is my favorite character)

Its Jimmu

The Tsunade respect I'm here for!

I think its very important that you all react to the First Naruto movie after this. At least before the next Major Arc! We should let them know.

Jordan Richardson

Such a perfect wrap up episode to this arc! now onto the final arc in Naruto and the best one!!!!

Liam D

Well he wasnt and got the business end instead. No offence but the only reason he survives this fight is plot armor. No one in naruto survives taking so many hits from monster strength tsunade. Especially in his weakened state. He only survives to further the plot.

Karthig

yall dont read shit but just to let you know. orochimaru what gave tsunade the business if he was at full power

Devon Mendes

How is a slug more disgusting than some of the other thing in this show?

SpeedyCat19

Great reaction!!

raesh

LONG MAY SHE REIGN!!

The Normies

Gotta love a good Xiaolin... I mean, Sannin Showdown in the morning.

Miasimon

YES. ITS AMAZING

Zee

And we have our 5th Hokage...It's crazy to says but in one move, Konoha's military strenght and potential as just increase ! Adding a war veteran super doctor as leader and in bonus Shizune, another jonin level medical ninja is gonna be very helpful !

Ji-pi Doyon

Man, if they think that soundtrack is good, they really are not ready for the Akatsuki ones in Shippuden ! Still a great one !

Ji-pi Doyon

Wow they're really going through this series faster than I thought

Gezno

Tsunade was giving Oro that WERK

Zee

This was the episode that got me into Naruto. I was just confused yet hype as hell. Been on journey ever since #BelieveIt

Zee

That’s a good way of putting it. Do you consider the Konoha Crush not an arc ? Since it’s just basically apart of C.E

Zee

Yeah i dont get it either

Mohamed Aimal

What's so disgusting about the Slug summon? I really don't get what the problem is....

The Pebble

Normies: We don't have Tsunade figure. Please don't send her. Me: 👀

Johnny Blue

That outro though...🍆💦

STEAMY_DA_GOD

Very good episode. Personally my favorite Tsunade moment in the series is this episode. And I would call this an Arc, like the Land Of Waves, while the Chunnin Exams was a Saga.

Cory Hawks

They literally gave her props in the video lol

Chris Mitchell

I hope you guys can finally realize that Tsunade is not weak, but lets give Orochimaru his credit he was fighting 2 v 1 with no arms. And Tsunade is 50 same age as Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

Arthur D. Gastino

how is katsuyu disgusting, they literally in the least gross way she looks like a toy. Also katsuyu isn't necessarily weak she's just not an offensive fighter she's about healing and evading.

Arthur D. Gastino

man katsuyu got such a negative reaction lmao, in time you'll see how much more useful she is, always felt v under appreciated to me

Praga

So they are reacting to 101? If so that's great!

NMD

Absolutely no spoilers here. Just an old Japanese Folklore. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiraiya Check it out. It was the inspiration to these characters.

The Dude's Rug

LES GO BABYYY!!!

STEAMY_DA_GOD

omg i'm so happy that this is posted this early! <3

Loic Reviews

Just two more weeks before the funniest episode ever.

Gabtab0000

Lol how do you mix that up and post it

Sage

Katsuyu is a slug btw💀

Resident stan

Everyone please be good shinobi and not name who is in 79 thumbnail. Everyone knows it's a thumbnail mix-up. Please let the Normies take care of it without spoiling them.

Johnny Blue

Yayyy good morning!!
