Naruto Jump Festa 2004

LOL. So very true. What -was- up with the Naruto/Sasuke pound? They never were that great friends as I recall. The only other time they do that is in the first opening if I remember correctly. WEIRD. GODDAMNIT INCLUDE MORE CHARACTERS

NEJI

I didn't really like this one. It kind of reminded me of the DBZ battles.

anyway, i just downloaded and watched this thing and i must say, it was the biggest waste of my hour and 30 min. ever. it was sooooooooooooooo gay. i knew it was gonna suck as soon as kakashi peaced out on the team. there were many gay parts. such as when they started to 'fly' (those 4 nins vs sasuke & naruto vs suien). it seemed that they can change directions in mid air and were able locate a zero gravity zone and use it to their advantage. but the gayest part of all was near the end when they congratulated their victory on defeating that lame excuse for a villian by giving each other a 'pound' (fist tapping another fist). overall this was equally bad as crimson gay leaf.

Well, I thought the crimson leaf was way better than this one. I suppose the inconsistencies where this happens on the timeline I don't mind too much, but the jounin v. two genins is outlandish. The only explaination is that the waterfall ppl are really really weak, so I guess a weak guy can become a jounin in the waterfall village easily.

Yep, too much like dbz. I liked the four leafed colver better.

[bitwar]

The explanation is that they didn't put much thought into this. I really hope this is NOT a sign of what to expect from the movie. It was amusing, but really not quite right.

[DeluxSkillz]

i really liked this for some reason, better then some filler episodes for specials this one and crimson leaf were pretty ok though, lots of action in this one

[Knives122]

It wasnt that great, couldnt tell when it was in the series, which is to much like watching a DBZ movie(where you couldnt tell when the movies took place)

[originalkrn]

It was absolutely Horrid. Oh my God. Seriously, wtf was that dbz style? That was so retarded.


SPOILER regarding ep if you havnt seen it




































Yeah and shizuka or watever took out everyone with ONE jitsu and yet was still unable to make some type of water clone or at least some kawarmi. Everything was so annoying about the ep

[orn210]

it doesn't fit in the story cuz the team 7 is very peacefull and together but they seem like they already know about the red chakra, they were drinking some water and just powering up like dbz that looked so lame but what more can you guys expect from korean studio? they just suck!

[Raven]

Ok, it seems that those who were clinging to the vain hope that Naruto is nothing like DBZ now don't have any argument left. This special was soooo like a DBZ movie. The flying, the aura floating around them.... Come on! It's supposed to be a ninja series!

And that coward guy (can't remember his name), he turns up to the battle in a whirlwind, and somehow knocks out all of the powerful ninjas instantly!?!? WTF? So much for them being really tough.

Like someone said, this really takes away the credibility of the Hidden Falls, seeing as their top skilled Jounin got defeated by 2 Leaf Gennin.

Also, this must have taken place somewhere after the Gaara/Naruto battle during the village cleanup/repairs, because everyone viewed Naruto using his kyuubi chakra and they all knew about it, probably from his fight with Gaara.

One thing that made me laugh though, when he was swinging from the vine with the cool music, then the vine snapped and the music slowed down like it was running out of batteries, that was funny.

[Assertn]

haha yeah that was great......but i dont get the fascination the writers are having with dog crap lately....he stepped in some about 4 times now, and none of these times happened in the manga

[Kagari]

lol you guys are all goofs.


DBZ! DBZ! DBZ! you chant, as if the point you've been trying to prove finally has something to back it!


This episode/special was done to fit an entire story into 40 minutes. They had to make some sort of quick access to power since they had so little time. And, staying consistent with the series, when someone is releasing a large amount of chakra, it becomes visible to the naked eye. Hence the hero water, and the explosive chakra.

As far as the jounin vs. 2 genins thingy, does anyone remember Mizuki? Taju Kage Bunshin no jutsu defeated him, correct? He was wearing a green vest....much like....jounins of the leaf! See the parallel?


My opinion on the special is that It was clearly squeezed into a smaller time-frame than the story deserved, which is why it wasn't as good as usual naruto events...but it was still fun, with some cool new characters, jutsus, and jokes.

I agree with CmDr about the vine part, that was my fave too.

please elaborate on this a little bit more... i don't get what you're trying to say.

[Assertn]

mizuki was a chuunin.....and for all we know, he mighta became one just a year or two ago
he was also a teacher, and you know what they say: those who cant do, teach

Yep, Mizuki was only a chuunin, and a lacklustre one at that. It's really no big deal that a technique like Taju Kage Bunshin defeated him.

[kaigan]

yea, this one was pretty retarded i must say. So far, this and the crimsom leaf was a big waste of time.

[Terracosmo]

At the same time, if this took place after Naruto VS Gaara, how come Sasuke changed back his clothes?
WEIIIIIRD.

maybe it was laundry day so he didn't have the black outfit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

seriously though, these specials are like OVAs so they have inconsistency that doesn't fit with the regular timeframe/plot of the anime.

[?igma]

the whole scripting was off, man really, whats up with these koreans..
