Naruto is so original!!1!

So what if it's an homage?

 

I think I'ma just skip whatever might've happened in here barring the initial responses to the OP.

Lol at people not realizing that everyone does this in Japan and that Naruto is not the first, nor worst, offender. In fact, any decently choreographed fight scene is almost guaranteed to belong to a much older martial arts movie or pay homage to a famous martial artist. At least in the first one, both Cowboy Bebop and Naruto are paying homage to Bruce Lee in that scene. In fact, Gainax was on board for the scene direction of both the Cowboy Bebop movie and select Naruto episodes; you can't plagiarize yourself.

Besides, that fight sucked. Sasuke vs Oro was much cooler and probably not ripped off. Since, y'know, you can't really rip off a melting snake monster that can kinda sorta fly and a kid that can breathe fire and see you.

oh god wat

 

I'm guessing either Naruto Abridged or there's a bridge called Naruto.
Which makes sense since it means whirlpool or something.

 

I'm sure I saw someone who "Reads Narutos" as in the thing in ramen in a TV show once. Not sure if it's a mistranslation or there's really a thing called a Naruto in ramen.

 

Yeah, it's shrimp or something.



It's the swirled thing, if I remember correctly.

 

Thats called an Uzumaki, which is Naruto's last name.

...Damn now I want some soup.

 

-hungry-

-takes bowl-

-eats it-

That reminds me of a relatively disgusting disease that is related to the vagina.
Hint : This Colour
