Jup. With Konohamaru, it was a game. He used wide movements, slow attacks, giving his Junior (and kinda pupil) opportunities to make moves. With Neji, it was more like a dance, both not being serious, just enjoying the time together. With Ten-Ten, Naruto is on the defensive because she has the range advantage, and Naruto (who doesn't have that much personal connection with her) becomes more serious. And with Lee, it is just utter Chaos, as Lee is such a good fighter that everything but fight instinct takes a step back, for a chaotic but powerful exchange of blows.
team guy is criminally underrated. Neji dies, Tenten is given little to no screen time and even fewer wins. and Lee is forever stuck in the shadow of his master.
I started to rewatch the og naruto recently and it angers me how sasuke just steals lee's taijutsu and gets to show off in front of the whole village when lee spent his whole life to get to this point and has to watch everyone fangirling over sasuke's taijutsu
@@GoncaloDCa I never really got how that worked, I mean the Sharingan is supposed to copy movements like hand signs right? it shouldn't just be able to make your legs move faster and stronger than they've been built to.
I like how graceful and strategic nejis fighting style is with naruto. It feels so smooth with limited unnecessary movements all so strategic and in a coordinated sequence.
This ending made me realize how much I would loved to see tenten's fighting style and just her character in general be more relevant to the plot, would've been so cool. its such a waste how they just never utilised her character properly at all honestly asddjghadfkjs
Fight with Konohamaru: More like a sparring, Naruto is clearly superior than him and he makes it friendly Fight with Neji: A hard one, Neji's technique is gracious and Naruto actually lose when Neji does an ippon on him. Fight with Tenten: It's like a dance, and it's one of the first times Naruto fights with a kunai. It proves that Tenten had a latent potential that Kishi didn't know how to pursue Fight with Rock Lee: Desperate, energic and powerful. Naruto does an extreme to protect himself most of the time, but manage to adjust somewhat.
what makes it more frustrating is that Guy himself gets to show off more than his team. As much as I love Guy and some of the other Jounins, the side characters I really wanted to see shine were the members of the Konoha 11. Asuma's team had their moments (especially Shikamaru), but team Kurenai and team Guy really got shafted. smh
Comedy_ Express lol the only way that team 10 has ever contributed after the very beginning of shippuden to the story is neji dying. Thats pretty sad isnt it?
I can’t stop rewatching Tenten’s sequence. The choreography is SO smooth, it really shows that she’s a true weapon master. If only she had gotten more fights like this in the actual show, she would probably be a widely beloved character.
She could've been like Shigure from Ken'ichi, History's Strongest Disciple, plus use space/time ninjutsu techniques or just more cool summoning type jutsu
Aside from tenten looking so cute in this ending. It really highlights her skill. This is what we needed more of in the show. And she could use multiple weapons and switch between them to really emphasise her ability
The moment the show started to go for large scale explosive attacks TenTen had no chance of fighting with her weapon centric design. I do wish the show had kept battles to smaller scale to let characters like TenTen have a chance to shine.
@@l1_nimbus23 She's technically using a nerfed version of flying raijin when summoning 1000 weapons during her twin rising dragon. She's one of the few characters that has a bridge towards learning that skill but ofc she's not a main character (or even an existing character)
Tenten's fighting style in the hands of a different writer could be really cool. Kishi's just a really, really boring shonen writer. For an example of a weapons-specialist done right, check out Zazie's fights in Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, chapters 22, 23, 83, 90, 91, 98, 100. Awesome char.
@@FBILink That might had made since a few years ago But even Haru has screentime now. They gave her screen time in royal plus all the other P5 games now
I love the fact that sparring with Neji is very safe compared to the others. The gentle fist is less dangerous if you're not trying to disrupt the opponent's chakra.
What's more interesting is when sparring with neji is all about being technical and not wasting unnecessary movements that was why most of his movements doesn't create any opening.
When you have an entire team dedicated to martial arts and weapon's training but don't give them screen time instead everyone stands in a circle throwing hand signs.
Word out of every team this one definitely had the least screentime in shippuden. Nonetheless I dont understand why people are mad when the fights are mostly ninjutsu. That literally makes sense tho. Ninjas started when the sage of 6 paths gave them power. They used their chakra to fight. Tyjutsu became old fashioned
Naruto is basically toying with konohamaru Naruto has to be more calculated and precise against neji Naruto is more fluid against Tenten and then there's Lee, where Naruto just has to go balls to wall crazy
this is exactly why i love this ending so much lol he strategically fights each person different, and lets loose with Lee. its funny these fighting scenes during the credits are better than most fights today
@@kingnamor777 I know but in base his taijutsu was never that good. The way he is fighting in this ending is what I wish how he fought before Sage Mode
I think this is honestly my favorite Naruto Ed. The choreography is so smooth and it’s really nice to see not only how better Naruto got with his fighting skills, but how his relationship grew with each of these characters. It’s just so cute and wholesome 🥰❤️❤️
Love the different feeling of each opponent Konohamaru: Don’t let your guard down just because he’s younger Neji: Don’t rush in you’ll be countered take your time Tenten: Keep your distance watch the weapon and find an opening Lee: No time to think fight fast and fight hard Plus the little details like Naruto playing around with Konohamaru, Him and Neji smiling while fighting, his hesitation to go in against Tenten when she spun the staff, and getting put on the defensive against Lee
I can't stop watching this. The storytelling, the animation, the colo palette, the flow with the great music. One of many Naruto ops/eds that I wish was longer, but this might take the cake. Definitely for Shippuden.
@@yvthanrosemary she and her team are about 1 year older than the rest of the genin. They would've been 18 by the time the show ended. But, no matter how old someone is, if they are not your spouse, you do not get to look at their body like that.
@@Gadget-Walkmen no he shouldn't seeing as there was no build up to his death, if there was thn yes. If anything the ppl that should've died would have been Sai and Hinatas father (mainly him seeing as it was his responsibility to protect Neji)
I love not only the different styles but also the lil details on the characters themselves- like how Naruto is being more playful with Konohamaru and how much respect there is between him and Neji, is really cute.
Nah, she's not underrated, just underdeveloped but she would be more popular if Kishimoto took the time to give her some canon screentime since she's the only one who fights like a ninja
I feel like the flow of the ending goes like this: Konohamaru: The Warm Up Neji: Strategic Hand to Hand Combat TenTen: Weapons Training Lee: Speed Combat
When the "Hey, Hey HEY! I THINK YOU CAN DoO IT!!" comes on, another wave of grooviness hits with the energy rise of Naruto and Lee sparring!!! It's such a catchy song!!!
I love the small detail of Ten Ten shifting her grip lower to counter naruto pulling out a kunai for extra reach on his shorter weapon. If only she got more screen time and was able to do something noticeable in the series with her weapon mastery, but thats Shounen anime discarding side characters.
That's more kishimoto unable to handle his rookie 9 at all because other shonens are able to handle all their main cast of characters and supporting characters well like One Piece who gives spotlight to ALL the spotlight.
Don't say Shonen anime, just say Naruto, not all of them do this, like the guy said above, One Piece usually gives spotlight to it's side characters, hell, the protagonist literally gets saved by them
That match up is the same as the Lee and Garaa match up. The issue is having the ninetails makes him immune to gentle fist, because it's chakra Neji can't block off. Think Ereaserhead from my hero, if he were fighting someone who's quirk was to reflect other people's quirk back at them. Both of their specialties are knocked out, but the other guy would win the war in quirk combat. Chakra becomes such an integral part of combat later that naruto is the most powerful, based on how much he has alone.
The fact that tenten got like 10 minutes of canon screentime total in all of naruto, and she still has a nice little fanbase proves that if she would have been used more she would have easily been a fan favorite. I can see why considering her and temari were like the only young females that didn't spend all of their screentime obsessing over some boy.
To be fair.... LOTS of characters in the canon actually had huge fan bases while having little screen time. Kishi was able to create a huge amount of characters that had a huge amount of popularity... If the character talked at some point in the series and were properly named, they might have had popularity. Think about it... there are more liked than forgotten characters
Tenten was basically sucking neji when he was fighting naruto.. “ThAtS wHy NeJi Is ThE gReAtEsT hIs ByAkUgAn Is ThE BeSt.” That was so annoying but other than that yeah, tenten pretty cool
i still come back and listen to this every now and then good vibe, clean fluid animation. i wish all the people who worked on this ed, long and prosperous health
Konohamaru: Come on big bro otherwise I'll take the Hokage bro from you!! Neji: Don't just block, but counterattack as well. Focus on where I aim. Now faster. Tenten: Alright up, down, left, right, block. Up, down, left, right, block....Now up, up left right left block weave block left up right Sansetsukon SPECIAL COMBO UNLOCKED. Rock LEE: THE POWER OF YOUTH NARUTO. GIVE ME EVERYTHING NO HOLDING BACK OUR SPRINGTIME IS NOW
1:27 Rock Lee deserves more. Multiple opening and ending and non-canon stories about him. Is like they know he is a fan favorite, but Kishimoto still didn't know what to do with him
@@datboisus339 Dude, you need to understand my comment. You notice how my comment has 13 likes? That means 13 people saw the logic in it and agreed. Now if 13 people agreed that means that the comment makes sense and you're not understanding it.
@Mark Stein This is what really annoys me, they had the perfect opputunity to bring back Hidan during Boruto but no they had some crappy version of him instead. Missed Oppotunity.
I love this so much. There is so much detail to every fight, like that konohamaru often has moments where he just stands still and watches Narutos next move very carefully to dodge it porperly. Or how Naruto is looking for neji before he enters the fight with a surprising attack that Naruto barely dodges. That perfectly shows nejis carefull and smart fightingstyle. Ten Ten is actually the one most dominating Naruto, keeping him on distance all the time not even letting him do a real attack once. In the fight with lee both of them actually get hit a few times right in the face (you can see the sweat flying) while in all the other fights all attacks are blocked or dodged
According to certain fansubs of this ending, the flyer literally translates to *I want the Smoke* *Meet me at the Shark Tank Dojo* *Signed,* *_NARUTO UZUMAKI_*
Tenten is such a cool character i mean she is not annoying like Sakura and she is always helpful in some way i just watched like Episode 404 and 405 and those Tenten fillers i loved them
For me both were annoying. Mainly cuz of tenten acting so arrogant in the OG Naruto series when all she did was throw weapons basically. During the war her keep on saying that she was so good with that sage of 6 paths ninja tool when it can brew up all 5 elements when swung had nothing to do with her talent. I do think she had the potential to be a cool character especially here but majority of the few times when they shown her just didn’t care for her. Think the village hidden in the stars she had kind of good moments
@Sabre 43 I agree. She could have been so well written, but she just missed the mark so many times. Lee and Guy proved that you don't need ninjutsu to be a great shinobi, but TenTen didn't come across the way they did.
@@potentdelirium exactly then this moment I nvr see it enough attention like some of Sakura’s other moments but what about when she saved kankuro from sasori’s poison with such little time and ingredients. Think that was a good showing for her. But then later on when tenten appears it’s like really this girl is a chunin
@@sabre4382many characters were annoying. That’s normal. Naruto himself was super annoying at times Sasuke was worse than all of em combined. We only loved Hinata bc she had no personality whatsoever
All the side characters in Naruto were done dirty, but Ten Ten probably had the most unfair treatment. In introducing her fighting style, she had to go up against Tamari, who made her look like a chump because the sand ninja were Jonine level. She didn't get to be in Sasuke's retrieval, which both Lee and Neji got to shine in. And in Shippuden, she's barely given any screen time. Admittedly, her fighting style on the surface is the most boring, she's a weapons expert, but they could've easily made that more interesting with the right set up.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I"M SAYIN!!! Everyone's so focused on Tenten in those shorts (not gonna lie, she looks fine in them), but they didn't even realize that we pretty much got the dream match of Naruto V.S. Rock Lee!!!
The way I still come back to this ED so many times. My fave ED, this team deserved way more shine, Neji and Naruto's match always got me smiling (dang I miss Neji) and Tenten honestly deserved so much better, plus this song is a complete jam! A comfort ED that'll never get old for me.
@@Scribbles-hz9ec I agree, a lot of wasted potential. The original Naruto series was great because of the konoha 11 were all had important roles to play while Shippuden, especially at the end, completely focused on Naruto an the sharingan users
I really like two main things about this ending 1. You can clearly see all the characters have their own fighting style 2. I really like the fact that the fights dont have a clear winner and just move on in midfight to the next one basically
Nobody is talking about the fact that this is the MOST VIEWED ending??? Pd: all Guy's team deserves more screen time and character develop, specially Tenten :(
It would have been so fun too see Tenten master of all ninja weapons to see her fight switching to every weapon mid fight every second or so. Oh wait we cant. Bc every Naruto women in her teens are poorly written :D
Honestly the choreo in this ending is probably still some of my favorite in the entire franchise It's just great to see classic taijustu from a lot of side characters that haven't been featured as much in Shippuden Also I really love how each character's personal style just shines here and Naruto has to change his approach for each person Just a great ending altogether
Donovan Spencer yea this was amazing it represents everyone’s styles this goes to show how much work they put in just for an outro how swiftly and fluently the movements went its flat out amazing they put all work into this
I love the end frame of them relaxing after training. Gives me memories of after school soccer or basketball practice, we'd all go to the school canteen and buy a couple milk drinks or juice and lay in the middle of the soccer field or stairs leading towards the basketball court. Can't believe that was only 8 years ago, damn time flies. In my mid twenties now and engaged.. far out. I'm happy I made the memories though, sad I can't relive them. :D
I like how Konahamaru fights like Naruto, and while both Lee and Neji fight using Taijutsu, Neji is more about where to strike and thus Naruto focuses more on blocks and precise movement, where Lee is all about controlling the battle so Naruto has to fight aggressive or else he’ll constantly be on the defensive. Really highlights the styles in which they all fight
I love how this actually shows the difference in the fighting styles, and how Naruto's is definitely not a 'proper' style, honestly, he'd probably benefit from break dancing lessons - it seems to fit his fighting style
Yes team Guy was the team that was sticking to thé roule of Naruto combat style de were introduced in Naruto as a kid and then choose their path and diversity in it. That one of the things i really like about them. But in shinppuden, since the rule of their World wasn't respected and we get into mecha combat with Giants invocation....... We don't get to much of différent combat style now...
Love, love this ending. Super dig the upbeat feel, and I love how it showcases Naruto's vastly improved hand-to-hand combat skills that he had just learned.
Uhhh...no that's not true man...just take a look at Kakashi vs Obito, Madara vs Shinobi Alliance, Rock Lee vs Gaara, Killer Bee vs Sasuke, Kakashi vs Hidan and Kakuzu, Naruto vs Sasuke (both fights), Orochimaru vs Third Hokage, Sasuke vs Orochimaru (from OG Naruto), Jirayja vs Pain
OP and ED credits screen are usually outsourced to different studios, often outside Japan because the inhouse studio literally don't have time for that, especially for long running series like Naruto. That's why many OP and ED has higher art and animation quality, sometimes even OOC concept.
I really loved this ending. It came at the perfect time in the anime, right after Naruto had gotten back from training with the frogs and learned Frog Kata. Naruto was always pretty meh at taijutsu up until that frog training, getting regularly shown up whenever he got into a 1 on 1 taijutsu fight and instead had to rely on clones or rasengan to win fights. But after studying Frog Kata with the toads, finally Naruto had actual taijutsu skills, and this ending showed that Naruto could toy around with Konohamaru fighting with a clone, and could fight on par with Team Guy, who were all taijutsu specialists.
This actually shows that Naruto had some pretty rad hand to hand combat skills. If he can mess with both Neji and Lee, plus ten ten's skill with weapons. Das my boi Naruto

I argue most of the filler is pretty good
I can't stop watching this. The storytelling, the animation, the colo palette, the flow with the great music. One of many Naruto ops/eds that I wish was longer, but this might take the cake. Definitely for Shippuden.

True
Ten ten is 15
@@yvthanrosemary She's still hot
@@yvthanrosemary she and her team are about 1 year older than the rest of the genin. They would've been 18 by the time the show ended.
But, no matter how old someone is, if they are not your spouse, you do not get to look at their body like that.

I like how neji kept a smile in the fight 😭
He should have never died
hes sooo beautiful
@@ampocalypsew3883 yes he should have, but not like that. It was bad death just so naruto and Hinata could hold hands.
@@Gadget-Walkmen no he shouldn't seeing as there was no build up to his death, if there was thn yes. If anything the ppl that should've died would have been Sai and Hinatas father (mainly him seeing as it was his responsibility to protect Neji)
Neji was the only one on Team ten to hit Naruto and take him down.

Tenten ♡ underrated af
♡
Nah, she's not underrated, just underdeveloped but she would be more popular if Kishimoto took the time to give her some canon screentime since she's the only one who fights like a ninja
Obigadu lindo ou kida
For good reason😂
She's NOT "underreated", there's nothing to her character at all.
Every frame of this could be a wallpaper
It’s certainly choopy enough for that.
(Not criticism I know that it’s intended, just saying)
@@Buphido it's "choppy" so the animation can flow probably, you're not supposed to stop and pause the video to inspect each frame.
@@Buphido that’s not what “choppy” means.
I feel like the flow of the ending goes like this:
Konohamaru: The Warm Up
Neji: Strategic Hand to Hand Combat
TenTen: Weapons Training
Lee: Speed Combat
Perfect but i think Konohamaru was more like Multi Opponent Training
I do like how they used Team guy with Naruto as well, since it was stated that Team guy's Taijutsu was the best out of everyones.
Vegito Blue Sure that could work as a title but I see one mistake.
*have you forgotten this is kid konohamaru vs naruto?*
i always felt konohamru was more of a clone training jutsu lol
When the "Hey, Hey HEY! I THINK YOU CAN DoO IT!!" comes on, another wave of grooviness hits with the energy rise of Naruto and Lee sparring!!! It's such a catchy song!!!
I love the small detail of Ten Ten shifting her grip lower to counter naruto pulling out a kunai for extra reach on his shorter weapon. If only she got more screen time and was able to do something noticeable in the series with her weapon mastery, but thats Shounen anime discarding side characters.
That's more kishimoto unable to handle his rookie 9 at all because other shonens are able to handle all their main cast of characters and supporting characters well like One Piece who gives spotlight to ALL the spotlight.
Just here to say Neji was the only one to hit and take down Naruto.
Don't say Shonen anime, just say Naruto, not all of them do this, like the guy said above, One Piece usually gives spotlight to it's side characters, hell, the protagonist literally gets saved by them
That was actually a nice touch, never noticed it
@@Gadget-Walkmen
One piece is unnecessarily long with plenty of filler and bloat so they can do that. Naruto was anime that eventually got the point
It's a real shame we never got a proper rematch like this between Naruto and Neji.
Kinda of an unfair fight for Neji. Naruto literally counters his entire fighting style xD
That match up is the same as the Lee and Garaa match up. The issue is having the ninetails makes him immune to gentle fist, because it's chakra Neji can't block off. Think Ereaserhead from my hero, if he were fighting someone who's quirk was to reflect other people's quirk back at them. Both of their specialties are knocked out, but the other guy would win the war in quirk combat. Chakra becomes such an integral part of combat later that naruto is the most powerful, based on how much he has alone.
The fact that tenten got like 10 minutes of canon screentime total in all of naruto, and she still has a nice little fanbase proves that if she would have been used more she would have easily been a fan favorite. I can see why considering her and temari were like the only young females that didn't spend all of their screentime obsessing over some boy.
To be fair.... LOTS of characters in the canon actually had huge fan bases while having little screen time. Kishi was able to create a huge amount of characters that had a huge amount of popularity...
If the character talked at some point in the series and were properly named, they might have had popularity. Think about it... there are more liked than forgotten characters
The first time Temari appears she says Sasuke is handsome lol
@@Dani12FCB And Tenten blushed and said that Sasuke was cute when his group met the team 7 lol
@@Dani12FCB @M.o.l.a true but finding someone handsome is different from obsessing though lol
Tenten was basically sucking neji when he was fighting naruto..
“ThAtS wHy NeJi Is ThE gReAtEsT hIs ByAkUgAn Is ThE BeSt.”
That was so annoying but other than that yeah, tenten pretty cool
i still come back and listen to this every now and then
good vibe, clean fluid animation. i wish all the people who worked on this ed, long and prosperous health
This outro is just *SO FREAKING SMOOTH*
Yeah, not by fps but i really love taijutsu battles in naruto, that makes me love this outro most, i wish someone made a 60fps version of this.

Mark Stein i mean technically isn’t hidan still alive? haha
@Mark Stein This is what really annoys me, they had the perfect opputunity to bring back Hidan during Boruto but no they had some crappy version of him instead. Missed Oppotunity.
you want kishimoto to "use" tenten?
Tenten should've had Shin Uchiha's technique
I love this so much. There is so much detail to every fight, like that konohamaru often has moments where he just stands still and watches Narutos next move very carefully to dodge it porperly. Or how Naruto is looking for neji before he enters the fight with a surprising attack that Naruto barely dodges. That perfectly shows nejis carefull and smart fightingstyle. Ten Ten is actually the one most dominating Naruto, keeping him on distance all the time not even letting him do a real attack once. In the fight with lee both of them actually get hit a few times right in the face (you can see the sweat flying) while in all the other fights all attacks are blocked or dodged
The most screen time Tenten has ever received. Could have been the coolest female character on the show.
💯.
Even the worst filler focused on Tenten was at least an 8/10.
Any of the girls could've claimed that title, I'm still salty Kishimoto shat on Hinata the way he did
@@mikhailthegreatestdragon3627 his fav female character was tenten too, i love her so much ;

Did Naruto just put out an "I want smoke" flyer and then proceeded to take on the entirety of team 3 + change?

@@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct you're messing with me!!! 🤯
@@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct you’re cappin right?
Tenten is such a cool character i mean she is not annoying like Sakura and she is always helpful in some way i just watched like Episode 404 and 405 and those Tenten fillers i loved them
For me both were annoying. Mainly cuz of tenten acting so arrogant in the OG Naruto series when all she did was throw weapons basically. During the war her keep on saying that she was so good with that sage of 6 paths ninja tool when it can brew up all 5 elements when swung had nothing to do with her talent. I do think she had the potential to be a cool character especially here but majority of the few times when they shown her just didn’t care for her. Think the village hidden in the stars she had kind of good moments
@Sabre 43 I agree. She could have been so well written, but she just missed the mark so many times. Lee and Guy proved that you don't need ninjutsu to be a great shinobi, but TenTen didn't come across the way they did.
Your comment looks like sakura haters😂, tenten n sakura both are good, n sakura also helpful, it just haters not see it
@@potentdelirium exactly then this moment I nvr see it enough attention like some of Sakura’s other moments but what about when she saved kankuro from sasori’s poison with such little time and ingredients. Think that was a good showing for her. But then later on when tenten appears it’s like really this girl is a chunin
@@sabre4382many characters were annoying. That’s normal.
Naruto himself was super annoying at times
Sasuke was worse than all of em combined. We only loved Hinata bc she had no personality whatsoever
Neji is alive. Neji is alive. Neji is alive.
Neji is dead
Neji isnt alive. Neji isnt alive. Neji isnt alive.
why are my eyes sweating
**cries**
But ten tails is alive
If only we saw more of Tenten fighting. She's a really good fighter but she barely gets any screentime
All the side characters in Naruto were done dirty, but Ten Ten probably had the most unfair treatment. In introducing her fighting style, she had to go up against Tamari, who made her look like a chump because the sand ninja were Jonine level. She didn't get to be in Sasuke's retrieval, which both Lee and Neji got to shine in. And in Shippuden, she's barely given any screen time. Admittedly, her fighting style on the surface is the most boring, she's a weapons expert, but they could've easily made that more interesting with the right set up.
Rock lee was coming for Nauto’s entire life.
But honestly that's so in character for Lee

JazzyAKOtaku to be fair when it comes to Tenten, she doesn’t get a lot focus.
White knight nerd I'm here for TENTEN
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I"M SAYIN!!! Everyone's so focused on Tenten in those shorts (not gonna lie, she looks fine in them), but they didn't even realize that we pretty much got the dream match of Naruto V.S. Rock Lee!!!
Rock Lee: *Appears*
Boss music: allow me to introduce myself
Drunken fist lee: exists
Unbeatable boss music: hello
The way I still come back to this ED so many times. My fave ED, this team deserved way more shine, Neji and Naruto's match always got me smiling (dang I miss Neji) and Tenten honestly deserved so much better, plus this song is a complete jam! A comfort ED that'll never get old for me.

what arc was it?
Luciano Junior it was the arc right after Naruto saves Konoha from pain.
Naruto Uzumaxi Oh hi Naruto
This ending the prize you get after watching it
Naruto changing his fighting style for every one of his opponents is the coolest thing about this ed
I really like two main things about this ending
1. You can clearly see all the characters have their own fighting style
2. I really like the fact that the fights dont have a clear winner and just move on in midfight to the next one basically
I love how nejis punches go with the song at 0:41
Nobody is talking about the fact that this is the MOST VIEWED ending???
Pd: all Guy's team deserves more screen time and character develop, specially Tenten :(
Knowledge is Peace No they did not. People wouldn’t feel that way if they didn’t think so.

Naruto never disappoints in terms of openings and endings.
I really like Lee, he is more beautiful with this outfit, I think.

Gotta love how the Rock Lee fight was the most intense, but the Neji one was the one where Naruto never had the upper hand
Oh I love this ending! The music, animation, Naruto being like Goku calling everyone to fight
Fist of the North star did it first
Armedas WorkShops Rome did it first
i love how he did all of their fighting styles
It would have been so fun too see Tenten master of all ninja weapons to see her fight switching to every weapon mid fight every second or so. Oh wait we cant. Bc every Naruto women in her teens are poorly written :D
And is a shame, isn't it ?
but she does actually switch weapon
I'd argue Tenten and Temari were better written than Ino and Sakura. Hinata gets a barely pass but Sakura got really hard done for a main character.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks it's true, but I grow fond of the character, though they definitely need some good writing and growth.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks u guys shouldn't forget that sakura did the most during the sasori fight.. a very powerful akatsuki member at that

It's just great to see classic taijustu from a lot of side characters that haven't been featured as much in Shippuden
Also I really love how each character's personal style just shines here and Naruto has to change his approach for each person
Just a great ending altogether
Donovan Spencer yea this was amazing it represents everyone’s styles this goes to show how much work they put in just for an outro how swiftly and fluently the movements went its flat out amazing they put all work into this

I love the end frame of them relaxing after training. Gives me memories of after school soccer or basketball practice, we'd all go to the school canteen and buy a couple milk drinks or juice and lay in the middle of the soccer field or stairs leading towards the basketball court. Can't believe that was only 8 years ago, damn time flies. In my mid twenties now and engaged.. far out. I'm happy I made the memories though, sad I can't relive them. :D
I like how Konahamaru fights like Naruto, and while both Lee and Neji fight using Taijutsu, Neji is more about where to strike and thus Naruto focuses more on blocks and precise movement, where Lee is all about controlling the battle so Naruto has to fight aggressive or else he’ll constantly be on the defensive. Really highlights the styles in which they all fight
Why I love this video
1 Rock Lee is my favorite Naruto character
2 Very good song
3 Tenten is best girl
I agree with all the statements here
I’m sorry how can you say Tenten is best girl when she was on screen for like 10 seconds and didn’t even exist in Shippuden.
I mean Tenten or Hinata has to be best girl
I agree 👍
+ 1
I love how this actually shows the difference in the fighting styles, and how Naruto's is definitely not a 'proper' style, honestly, he'd probably benefit from break dancing lessons - it seems to fit his fighting style
Yes team Guy was the team that was sticking to thé roule of Naruto combat style de were introduced in Naruto as a kid and then choose their path and diversity in it. That one of the things i really like about them. But in shinppuden, since the rule of their World wasn't respected and we get into mecha combat with Giants invocation....... We don't get to much of différent combat style now...
I got the idea that when he developed the sennin mode learned some frog style. But I might be wrong
@@anthortort2737 Yes Naruto learned Frog Kata while developing his sage mode to better utilize it.
A little late, but isn't there a legit dancing fighting style? Capoeira I think it was called?

Bandon Eple because the only time they used the people who made this was in Kakashi vs Obito.
And in case people don’t realize I’m joking. I have no idea whether or not they used these guys for Kakashi vs Obito.
Neji’s fighting style is so cool
Love, love this ending. Super dig the upbeat feel, and I love how it showcases Naruto's vastly improved hand-to-hand combat skills that he had just learned.
funny how the hand-to-hand fights in this ending were choreographed better than most hand-to-hand fights in the actual anime
But they more like breakdancing here
@@firstofficer296 martial arts is like dancing when you think of it
Uhhh...no that's not true man...just take a look at Kakashi vs Obito, Madara vs Shinobi Alliance, Rock Lee vs Gaara, Killer Bee vs Sasuke, Kakashi vs Hidan and Kakuzu, Naruto vs Sasuke (both fights), Orochimaru vs Third Hokage, Sasuke vs Orochimaru (from OG Naruto), Jirayja vs Pain
OP and ED credits screen are usually outsourced to different studios, often outside Japan because the inhouse studio literally don't have time for that, especially for long running series like Naruto.
That's why many OP and ED has higher art and animation quality, sometimes even OOC concept.

I really loved this ending. It came at the perfect time in the anime, right after Naruto had gotten back from training with the frogs and learned Frog Kata. Naruto was always pretty meh at taijutsu up until that frog training, getting regularly shown up whenever he got into a 1 on 1 taijutsu fight and instead had to rely on clones or rasengan to win fights. But after studying Frog Kata with the toads, finally Naruto had actual taijutsu skills, and this ending showed that Naruto could toy around with Konohamaru fighting with a clone, and could fight on par with Team Guy, who were all taijutsu specialists.
