Sasuke vs Orochimaru

[sasuke-kun!!]

Hey,
I was looking over this episode again, and I just have to say that this fight KICKS ASS!!
The animation quality isn't very good in this episode, but the action is top notch.
Sasuke fight like that more often
I also like this episode because it has my favourite "stupid sakura" scene. She runs to Sasuke like the total useless dumbass that she is, its just so funny.

I encourage you guys to rewatch this episode cuz its my favourite Sasuke fight.

Animation isn't good? Are you blind? That is one of the better animations in this series (the other top notch one is the Hokage battle), I should know since I'm an animation student right now. I suppose you like the animation in the Naruto vs Kiba fight, even you it was absolute crap for quality.

[Board of Command]

It's not that great. All Sasuke does is blow fire. He has no strategy. Even Naruto is a smarter fighter than him when it comes to real fights. Oro raped him like nothing.

[Assertn]

nah, i was a fan of 30 for a while.....the music just worked so well with the part where he's all like "I CAN SEE"

and it was certainly better than in the manga

[theblakeman]

That fight was off the hizzle and you know it was. The animation was excellent, since they payed less attention to details when it came to the art. This way things look smoother and cleaner.

All of Sasuke's fights (in the anime) > Naruto's fight.

Except the Naruto VS Zabuza thing.

[?igma]

Woo someone that doesn't have eyes where they are supposed to be ._.

The Sasuke vs Gaara fight -> weak
Sasuke vs Oro -> weak

hell I cant even find more fights Sasuke did.. Except for Zabuza..

Eh, I think you're forgetting about a couple other fights.

- Naruto vs Haku (Naruto going berserk, how can you say that's not good)
- Naruto vs Gaara (totally pwned Gaara)

I think it's just a tie between the fights of Naruto and Sasuke.

[?igma]

I was looking for fights that Sasuke did ._.

[chambers]

i dunno man when sasuke went mental anf flipped in the forest and snapped zakus arm that was pretty fucking amazing if you ask me, just just genrally didnt expect this level of violence.

[r3n]

yeah always nice when you get surprised in naruto to show that this anime isnt only meant for 10yr olds.

[basey44]

man how can people possible say ep 30 wasnt amazing, it was so fluent and the thought of how they would fight and stuff, not so much the stratergies used by each of the fighters but the way they fight, like where to puch and kick and wen to do a flip, also the body swapping technique(kawarmimi sp?) was used to perfection by oro, it all went nicely together

EDIT: also a bit off topic what what ratio should a sig be, like horizontal:vertical

Ep 30 is probably my favorite fight. The only complaint I have about the animation is that they made Sasuke look very young. Somehow he has a baby-face in this episode.

Anyway, I loved that part with the falling off the tree and using his threads to slow down (Spider-Man!!!) and the sharingan windmill. Plus, dragon-fire no jutsu was awesome. Too bad he hasn't used it since (except in the second Jump Fiesta).




I believe that when he says "I can see" it is just emphasizing how his sharingan allows him to follow Orochimaru's movement, even though he's blazing around like Rock Lee. He was also able to predict Oro's movement enough to blast him once with a fireball.

Naruto never faught Zabuza.

Naruto always uses the battlefield to his advantage. Sasuke only relies on his own talents, which makes him weak and vulnerable.

Naruto never faught Zabuza. I wouldn't really call that a fight because it was just one scene.

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you here.

I can't remember Naruto using the battlefield to his advantage very much (except for the Neji fight, and that was just a hole).

Sasuke used the battlefield as much as or more than Naruto. Remember his fight with Temari? He outsmarted her even faster than Shikamaru did using the terrain. And he barely used any chakra there.

His fight with Orochimaru (which this thread is about) has massive use of the environment. Note his use of the trees for his super-duper pile-driver (that was sweet). Note bouncing off trees to launch himself forward really quickly (when did naruto ever do that? He just charges straight ahead and gets beat down). Let's not even get into the Sharingan Windmill, which is ingenious exploitation of the envirenment.

Err sorry for the double post. The "Post Message" button was acting kinda queer.

[ZakuHan]

This was my favorite ep for a long time too. The music fit really well, and the way they fought was just great. THey need more fights like that, where it's one long string of movement and counter-movement.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

What are you guys talking about? Are you actually suggesting that watching smooth and exciting fights is more entertaining than watching guys get needles rained on them!?

actually, shikamaru's the one who used the hole to his advantage. Naruto was the one who MADE the whole, therefore i wouldnt say naruto used the battlefield to his advantage, but rather manipulated the battlefield to fit his style.

i liked the way neji was able to attack the ground with his face

lol...wicked funny

Naruto has definitely improved since the Zabuza/Haku saga, but i still believe he lacks the strategy skills that Sasuke possesses. The Temari fight was a nice example, with Sasuke switching himself out for a log (gotta love the always perfectly cut logs that are just randomply found in the wild) and an explosive tag, and blowing Temari up...And as far as Orochimaru owning Sasuke in the forest battle...i believe the way Sasuke captured/Ryuuka-no-jutsu'ed him was ingenious, and had that been pretty much ANYONE else in the Chuunin Exams, they would most definitely have died, or come damn close to it. That technique uses a LOT of chakra, is supposed to be a deathblow, and assumes that the enemy has absolutely no chance of dodging/escaping...

[jimmymasaki]

yeah the fight between oro and sasuke was good. yes i admit sasuke is one strong boy. but i think the best fight would be the naruto vs haku one.. i guess because it showed us the potential naruto had .. i mean at this point he had little to no control over kyuubi's chakra but to me it showed that naruto can in fact become stronger if he learns to control it (which i guess he has at this point?).
we always knew sasuke was strong and we always knew that naruto was... uh... crap? so yeah. it's just my opinion. i don't really look at animation and stuff mainly coz i can only look at the basic aesthetics like the colouring or lighting or the use of c.g.i.

[kooshi]

Hehe, Naruto should create a jutsu where he can allow Kyubi to take over his body slightly for the whole berserk thing to happen, lol.

[wirm]

Maybe he can try to summon the kyuubi's chakra and do a giant henge i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif
