Post 500!! We made it guys, Woo, See you at 1000


:confused:

[Mixairian]

Were it not for the fact it would break the theme, I would have thought that it would take Gaara and Rock Lee together or The Sand Trio and 3/5th's of the Konoha 5 to stop Kimimaru BUT that would completely ruin the ownage theme and take away from the Naruto versus Sasuke interaction.

[blind_fury]

How many episodes of Naruto are there and is it an ongoing series?

[Guyverjay]

Its currently on its 126th ep and yes it is ongoing. I think it comes on at 8:00pm every wednesday in Japan

[blind_fury]

I hope when its released in the U.S. they put them out by the season. But then again how often do companies release anime by the seasons? They'll probobly milk us for every cent by releasing them 4 episodes at a time at 25 bucks a pop. Thats $750 to get 126 episodes.

Man,I have never been so moved watching a cartoon.

Episode 19,where Zabuza finally gets killed:(

Stupid Naruto...I hate it:mad::(

It wasnt really a spoiler until you started describing the guy. Thanks alot! :mad: :p

And am I the only one who popped a stiffy for Haku?

Cuz if he's not bish,then I dont know what bish is:o

Meh,it'd be worth it,after tappin that ass:up:

Why does Rock Lee look like he deserves to be holding a guitar and singing about yellow submarines?:(

[Mixairian]

Rock Lee is the man. There is a catch phrase around here. When he goes hardcore the episode is known as Rock Lee-licious or Rock Lee-tastic.

[Mixairian]

No new episode this week though there will be a one hour special coming at us soon.

[dmcnx]

Man,I just watched 47-50:(

Rock-Lee is such a badass...when he took off the weights and started to beat the **** out of Gaara,I was in awe.

Then he had to go open the gates and become all red and ****,and get his bones broken by Gaara,and make me get all choked up when the Docter told Gai that Rock-Lee cant continue being a ninja due to the severity of the injuries.My throat was choked up the the extremes...that was so sad:(

I'm thinking about getting into Naruto (not b/c I'm personally interested; I just haven't met anyone who has seen it and doesn't rave about it), ...but first I want to buy all DNAngels. At that point, Naruto should be wrapped up too and I can buy them bulk.

::Nuzzles:: I've missed you. Just so you know Naruto is coming to America this summer on Toonami. It will take about 6 months for 25 episodes to get out to us if we're lucky. This means you won't be buying much for a long while.

If you want to watch it, you'll have to download it. If you need assistance on finding sources just ask.

[Honey Vibe]

Howdy Mix
I thought I saw somewhere you can buy the whole boxset online - that's how I first heard of it :confused:

Yeah don't pay for that. What that is someone took a fansub(which is free) and burnt them onto CD's. Basically the quality isn't worth paying for. Especially since you can get them for free. It is licensed now, though until it comes to America you have some time to catch up on it.

Mixairian - Just IM me and I'll direct you proper. I've watched over 126 episodes and have them stored for safe Keeping. :)

[Dark Carnage]

Whoa, Gaara could have been killed. I doubt he will ever look at it the same way Lee (or at least Gai) does, that Luck is part of your strength. But in all the fight he put up was great. Nice imaginative moves, the Desert Avalanche was awesome and the Shukaku Shield was nice. Even destroyed Kimimaro strongest bone weapon.

And even though Gaara was low on chakra, doesn't the sand still automatically protect him? Yet it just stayed back while Kimimaro went for his eye.

Kimimaro was fairly impressive, just wonder where the hell he managed to store all that Calcium needed to make that forest of bone.

Sasuke's definately jumped up a level or two in the power department. Wonder what that sudden shock of pain was just before his seal retreated?

[Guyverjay]

I was hoping for some sand racoon action:mad:

Do you want them viewable on a DVD player or do you just want them stored on a DVD?

If you want them stored, you just make a normal Information CD and put them on there.

If you want DVD's, you have to encode the video's into MPEG2 format which usually takes about an hour or two per episodes and then you put it into that video folder... You're better off storing them on DVD's and watching them on your comp.

Or if you must watch it on your TV, get an S-Video cable.

[kritic]

jesus christ, what a pain in the ass......

i like watching on my tv, because 27 is a lot better than 19, and its more comfortable, IMO.

Mind telling me how I could encode them to MPEG2 format? I'd do it overnight

I think nero has an encoder. Since I forgot, you should check some of the guides here: www.cdfreaks.com

Good luck. :)

Also if your TV has an S-Video outlet and your video card in your comp has one; an S-Video cable will save you the trouble of DVD's.

I'm thinking of DLing them Narutos

now that it is illegal(somewhat) it arouses me:)

[Dark Carnage]

Episode 4 of the One Piece dub was just shown in the UK, and they actually placed a cork on a string in a gun's barrel. It's laughable. Are we really meant to believe that the kids who watch this are that distanced from reality that they wouldn't know what a gun really does?

What are they going to do when Naruto stabs himself in the hand, or when Haku fills him and Sasuke up like a pin cusion? It's moronic.

I'm trying to figure out whether them confusing Naruto for Luffy is intentional?

[Dark Carnage]

It is.

"I'm looking at you Naruto."

They're saying that's already been done to One Peice, and it won't be long until the same is done to Naruto.

That's what you mean, right?

Bah this cliffhanger is killing me:(

[dmcnx]

Naruto is hitting me hard:(

Please tell me Chouji isnt really dead

:(

[Mixairian]

When Kakashi ignores Tsunade and chases after Naruto and Sasuke, he also sends out 5 dogs. This leads us to believe that he is collecting them as well. Also note that Chouji's clan is fat because all of their techniques consume mass amount of calories. It is quite feesable that he survives from his butterfly chakra ownage because he was fat. I doubt they'll kill off any kids. That's just my stance on it.

[Dark Carnage]

Oh Sasuke, what have you done?

[Mixairian]

Oh Sasuke, what have you done?
He is going against his father's command and chasing after his brother.

Dammit,is 132 the most recent episode?

Welcome to the realm of waiting a whole week to watch one episode. It's a bastard to get used to.

Just some more news updates. After 135 "The Promise That I Could Not Keep" there will be a 3 month filler arc. The manga needs time to get ahead of the anime once more. So those of you who don't read will have a good three months before learning of Kakashi and his torrid past.

[Nathan]

That's not really time for the manga to get ahead. Since the Kakashi Story also happened in the manga.

[Mixairian]

That's not really time for the manga to get ahead. Since the Kakashi Story also happened in the manga.
The anime is fastly catching up on the manga. By running a filler arc on the anime, the manga can get further ahead.

[Nathan]

I know what you mean. But Kakashi's past also happened in the manga. And something that happened in the manga can't be considered filler.

The story with that Rain Nin Aoi, now that was filler, but Kakashi's past isn't. So the anime is still catching up to the manga.

Except if they're are further extending Kakashi's story and show things that didn't appear in the manga.

[Mixairian]

I know what you mean. But Kakashi's past also happened in the manga. And something that happened in the manga can't be considered filler.

[Dark Carnage]

Is 3 months enough for the Manga?

What's that, 2-3 volumes? Which isn't a lot of anime episodes. I know they need all the gaps they can get, which probably means from now on it'll be: Manga, Filler, Manga, Filler.

Seeing as you ignored the past few posts. I'll repeat in short. They're going with a filler arc for the time being and the Kakashi arc will take place AFTER the filler is done.

[TheVileOne]

Anyone know who's going to be the Japanese voice of Yondaime? I can't wait to see anime Yondaime in action.

I really hope Steven Blum is the English voice for Kakashi.

Age rating: Teenagers (May contain bloody violence, bad language, nudity)
Genres: Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Shounen, Supernatural

Plot Summary: Naruto closely follows the life of a boy who is feared and detested by the villagers of the hidden leaf village of Konoha. The distrust of the boy has little to do with the boy himself, but it’s what’s inside him that causes anxiety. Long before Naruto came to be, a Kyuubi (demon fox) with great fury and power waged war taking many lives. The battle ensued for a long time until a man known as the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, the strongest ninja in Konoha, fiercely fought the Kyuubi. The fight was soon won by Yondaime as he sealed the evil demon in a human body. Thus the boy, Naruto, was born. As Naruto grows he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha in an effort to show everyone that he is not as they perceive him to be, but is a human being worthy of love and admiration. But the road to becoming Hokage, the title for the strongest ninja in Konoha, is a long and arduous one. It is a path filled with betrayal, pain, and loss; but with hard work, Naruto may achieve Hokage.

sounds good....

[kamesan]

I've watched all the way to episode 60 and I'm thoroughly impressed. Was this done by the same guy who did DBZ???

[Mixairian]

I've watched all the way to episode 60 and I'm thoroughly impressed. Was this done by the same guy who did DBZ???
Not in the slightest. The guy who did DBZ died before the Buu saga ended.

The creator of Naruto is Masashi Kishimoto.

The Man Behind the Shadows
Born in the Okayama Prefecture in 1974 as the older of two twins, Masashi Kishimoto sprung on to the scene as one of the greatest mangakas in all of history just within the couple past years, with his beloved and ever popular manga of Naruto. Naruto has quickly become one of the most popular and best selling mangas of all time, read by millions worldwide each week.

As a pre-schooler Masashi Kishimoto was fixated with the TV show "Doraemon", all of his friends at the time were in to the show as well, and everyone would draw pictures of the characters. Kishimoto was always the perfectionist, pointing out obvious mistakes in other people drawings and showing them the way to draw it. "Now that I think about it, I sure was an annoying kid!" wrote Kishimoto.

In his elementary days, it would be safe to say that Masashi Kishimoto was obsessed with drawing (and are we sure glad that he stuck with it), during school he filled his notebooks with drawings, and he even would draw while playing hide and seek with his friends while he waited to be found. As previously stated, Doraemon was always the anime of choice for him until one day he saw an incredible show on TV, Mobile Suit Gundam, all his drawing time was now dedicated to drawing characters from that anime.

After awhile of drawing Mobile Suit Gundam characters, Kishimoto once again found a new anime, Akira Toriyama's famous creation: Dr. Slump. Masashi Kishimoto recalls how he couldn't believe how "super duper good" the art was and he began to draw the Dr. Slump characters and even submitted a crayon drawing of Arale-chan to a contest.

In his latter Elementary school days, Akira Toriyama's most famous creation, Dragonball became an anime and for Kishimoto this spawned a whole new interest in Manga and Shonen Jump. Before this though there was another Jump anime entitled, Kinnikuman. Kishimoto and his brother would often play around trying to think their own character names. At the time they mostly revolved around condiments they could find in the refrigerator, like "Mustardman".

Near the end of Elementary school, Masashi Kishimoto was strictly a Dragonball fan, he recalls how he was so obsessed with Akira Toriyama, "He was like a god to me, I was constantly drawing characters that appear in Dragonball." At this stage in his life Kishimoto did not recieve an allowance to buy the 190 Yen Jumps, and would have to rely on a friend to show him jump to get his Dragonball fix.

It was at this stage in his life that Masashi Kishimoto made a decision that he is not regretting now, and many of his fans are thankful for. He started to think to himself that "Manga sure is great" and that he wanted to become a famous Mangaka like Akira Toriyama. Kishimoto created his first manga around this time entitled "Hiatari-kun", a story revolving around a "Shadow ninja boy".

Still in elementary school, Kishimoto was still obsessed with Akira Toriyama and would spend all of his extra time making his drawings look exactly like his idols. It was then that he saw a game that Akira Toriyama helped develop called "Dragon Quest". The drawings were amazing, but unfortunately for Masashi Kishimoto he did not own a Famicon (Nintendo), which every other kid in his class seemed to own. He certainly could not ask his parents for something of this nature, everytime his father heard the word "Video Game" he would tell Kishimoto to go study. It was then that his twin brother devised a plan to get a Famicon from someone else, but could someone willing to give away something worth 10,000 Yen possibly exist, he did and Masashi Kishimoto began to view this friend as a god.

After begging his father over and over repeatedly, Masashi Kishimoto finally recieved the game "Dragon Quest" the first game he had ever owned and the first time he had played an RPG game. His father that was so against video games began to play Dragon Quest as well, and just recently Kishimoto called his father, who had apparentally just beaten Dragon Quest 7.

In Junior High School, Kishimoto began to focus on things other then drawing. Baseball had become a big part of his life, and naturally there was alot more studying to do, which meant little or no time for drawing. He pondered to himself if he was "Too old to draw", at this point an unbelievable event occured in his life. As he walked home from school he saw a movie poster, one of the best drawings he had ever seen, how could a person draw this good? The drawing was for Katsuhiro Ootomo's "Akira". This drawing rekindled the flame and passion to draw, and to this day he continues to draw continously in hopes of one day getting close to that picture.

After he learned of "Akira", Masashi Kishimoto's drawings changed in a big way. He spent hours studying and trying to understand the style of Ootomo, but couldn't. He then had a revelation that this was totally original, and nothing else was like this. It would be impossible to copy, much like a persons DNA. He couldn't understand what was great about the drawings of both Ootomo and Toriyama, but there was a few things he could understand. The effects, designs, every small detail was perfect and different from other artists. Kishimoto then began thinking to himself that an attractive picture is an original one, learning how to copy other artists was pointless.

Kishimoto began to try and create his own style, but he found himself always copying someone elses style to some extent, finding or creating an original style would be very rare and near impossible. With this new belief, and the thought that Ootomo's style was unbeatable, Kishimoto began to try and make his drawings look exactly like his. As he entered his final year of Junior High, he would buy up all of the "Akira" material he could find and spend his time trying to draw the pictures exactly like Ootomo.

In the Eleventh Grade, Kishimoto created his first 31 page manga, he couldn't tell if it was any good so he showed it to his brother. "Great isn't it?!!" he asked. Only to get a reply of "This sucks!!", naturally he couldn't take his brothers word so he showed his father, and got the same reaction. Up until then Kishimoto had been really excited about submitting it for a Jump Magazine Award, but after that he lost the nerve and that manga will forever sit in the bottom of his desk drawer.

As a "simple, blind and stupid young man", Kishimoto did not lose sight of his dream and thought to himself that if he wants to win the contest he will have to just keep creating mangas. His thinking may have been odd then, but looking back on it he reflects how it made excellent practice, plus he was so young his train of thought couldn't be helped. After a few more manga projects, and being told that "This is no good" he began to wonder to himself why his mangas weren't? What made other peoples better!?

Dedicating all of his time to figure this out, Masashi Kishimoto graduated high school ranked 38th out of 39th in his class, it quickly became obvious that with grades like this, he wouldn't be getting into any college. No good at manga, no good at school, what would he do in life? Masashi Kishimoto didn't give up, he got right back to drawing Manga, and inspiring to become a Jump mangaka. He reflects back on how his thoughts didn't go to deep, "Well, things will work out!" was the extent of it. "Thank god for being stupid!"

Today everything has worked out for Masashi Kishimoto, his dreams of becoming a famous Jump mangaka have come true, his story about that shadow ninja boy, Naruto has become one of the best selling and most popular mangas worldwide. He has certainly shown that he can draw with the best of them, and despite all the adversities, he has succeeded. Masashi Kishimoto is a true inspiration, a true role model, and will go down in history as one of the best.

You should probably backhand that person for lying to you. While Akira Toriyama did not write any of DBGT, he did approve the character designs.

My school's anime club was VERY apprehensive about Toonami airing Naruto. But, from the promos I've seen, it doesn't look very altered at all. I've only seen three episodes, and I'm too cheap to buy any DVDs, so.....I'm looking foward to it.

A preview of it from Cartoon Network. Can you say spoilerlicious?

Does anyone else have problems with the fact the announcer had said "Centuries of peace" when peace has only lasted for about the last 25 years or so? The Sannin are all 50 and they grew up in an era of war.

Or the fact that maybe 2-3 episodes have them do stuff in the academy before graduation? No wait, my bad... One episode and then flashbacks to the academy.

Man I'm nit picking. ^_^

I heard they aren't going to change any of the names or attacks. I think you guys are overreacting.

The DVD's will also be totally uncut/unedited.

Steven Blum is a tremendous voice actor, and he can definitely handle the humorous side of Kakashi. He played Jamie on Megas XLR and Onizuka in GTO.

I'm fine with Steven Blum for kakashi. I'm more concerned with who's going to be doing Naruto; I'd imagine it'd be not that easy to find someone who can easily flip between the bubbly and badass sounding Naruto and who's voice isn't annoying as well.

Wah wah wah. Its already been said that they aren't going to change any of the character names. And the DVD's will be totally uncut/unedited. So I think with that, whatever is shown on Toonami is a small price to pay.

It could probably be shown on Adult Swim with less edits, but they lose out on a huge demographic and really the people who should be watching Naruto.

[Dark Carnage]

I forgot to mention, that in the last episode, I thought it was great when Naruto was remembering back to when he grabbed a handful.

Slot off. I'm not paying 25$ for 4 episodes on a DVD. "They said they weren't changing the characters names." Bravo for repeating yourself. But they never mentioned of not changing a characters gender. One of the key points to Haku was that he was a sweet boy following the wrong type of guy. A theme repeated later in the series. There is also a funny scene where he tells Naruto he's a boy and Naruto freaks out for being attracted to him.

As for the demographic that "should be" watching, who pray tell is that? Thousands of japanese adults AND children watch this series in its complete form on public television. The time slot is the equivalent ot 7:30 our time, which puts most of those children awake and finished with dinner. Children's show my ass.

Sorry, it's very hot out today.

Well then you can just keep doing whatever you are doing to get the episodes now and the people that really want to own it on DVD uncut/unedited in Japanese with English subtitles can.

I remember the whole story, and I don't think they are going to change it. Its really not risqué or suggestive at all. Naruto just thought a very effeminate and "pretty" boy was a girl. I don't really think Naruto found Haku attractive either, but whatever. It happens in cartoons all the time. In fact it even happened on an episode of Dragon Ball. Goku had a little Indian friend named Oopa (?) and Krillin hit on him thinking he was a girl. It was actually a lot creepier than the situation in Naruto. And the dubbers would really go out of their way to change it.

Geez man. With it on Toonami it does NOT cut out the children's audience as it is on Adult Swim. On Toonami thousands of adults AND children can still watch it. And Cartoon Network is doing a smart move by putting it on a block of time where kids will be able to watch it.

Again, I'm not sure what will be altered at this time. My concern is they may alienate a large portion of their none children fans. One of the differences between DBZ and Naruto is that DBZ was brought over 10 years ago or more. By now you'd hope that American television (especially cable) would get over the need to censor anything that could remotely effect their children.

I've been bored this summer so far and I've gotten back to watching Naruto. I'm on episode 90 now, keeps getting better. :up:

Well this was an episode of Dragon Ball that aired on Cartoon Network very recently (less than 2 years ago) after Funimation licensed it and decided to redo it not long ago.

They will probably alienate the mega-otakus that take anime way too seriously, but they'd be alienated no matter what. But considering that they are going to get uncut DVD's and will probably just keep downloading new episode and manga anyway, I don't see why its worth getting so pissed off about.

Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, came to America dubbed approximated 10 years again.

It was played every saturday morning, on WB 11 here. Many animation shows were. They were changed for public television greatly BUT the first time they were aired it was less censored. As new episodes ceased and repeats came about, more censored versions were aired. Those versions, years later, made it to Cartoon Network.

Some other animes this was done with are Sailor Moon and Ronin Warriors.

It's frustrating. I dislike censors telling me what I'm a unable to watch or mentally comprehend, this same outlook applies when I've my own litter.

[The Kingpin]

What do you think they'll do about the "Perverted Hermit"? Will Naruto just call him Jiraiya or Frog Hermit from the start?

Ten to one he'll say something like "Old Man" or "Silly Old Man"... If they do "Perverted Old Man", that would be cool.

This is all well and good. But I'm just pointing out why they won't alter the little gag with Naruto/Haku.

[The Kingpin]

Anybody know any good direct download sites besides www.narutochaos.com? They're eps are always offline...and Limewire is going too slow. I'm only on 100, so it would have to have past episodes.

You should really think about giving Bittorrent a try.

[Mixairian]

If Haku's gender is changed to female, the gag won't make much sense.

I understand the hesitation to use BT. I didn't trust it for a long time. Sometimes I still don't.

[The Kingpin]

I don't know, but BitTorrent just sucks for me. I've opened the right ports and disabled my firewall...and it still went 2-6 kbps.

[Guyverjay]

bwhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa

Bit torrebnts rules, I get an ep of Naruto in under 15 mins:D

[Dark Carnage]

I might have felt that joy. I'm switiching from NTL to Bulldog. We were going to get 8MB, but they just sent an email saying we can only have 2MB. :(

And they are only offering a £5 discount. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/Vegenom/Smilies/wtf.gif

[Guyverjay]

Yeah I feel your pain, I had to be dropped from 4mb to 3mb because I live far from the exchange:(

[Nathan]

Question, is the BitTorrent clinet usually only 17kb big? I just downloaded the newest version, but it doesn't seem to work.

That sounds about right. I remember seeing previews for DBZ in the EGM magazines circa late '93. I was thinking "wow, I wonder when we'll see this cartoon in the states" cuz it put Street Fighter 2 to shame. I remember Ronin Warriors coming out circa '95, in '96 they were showing Dragonball (the first 13 episodes). Then they had this cartoon called Samurai Pizza Cats & shortly thereafter Dragonball Z.

You must've been watching it the same time I did. I do remember some episodes where they slipped up on the censoring. One particular episode was Nappa the Invincible where Chiaotzu was gettimg smashed up. One frame he looked normal & then the next frame he had blood all over his head.

Sorry to go off the thread subject, but that particular post brought me back to memory lane......

[The Kingpin]

Is there anywhere to find old subbed DB/Z episodes?

The scene I was thinking of was when Gohan (or was it Goku---I don't remember) was urinating on a rock and a dinosaur snuck up on him. That scene was completely removed.

Another small funny scene was with Sailor Moon where the scouts were facer and enemy in a narrow alley a one of them fell over. There was a gratuitous panty shot with her ass being right in one of the Sailor's faces and everyone going red. I remember laughing my ass off. When the repeats played the alley scene was gone.

There were others but as I said, it's been like a decade.

Memories. :)Is there anywhere to find old subbed DB/Z episodes?
That was before the age of online subbing groups. Finding that stuff will be nigh impossible without going to China Town or something.

I've yet to see anything to indicate they will change his gender.

[BlackOpsTengu]

Ah, greetings fellow Naruto fans!

I've been following the manga and anime for about a year now. In my opinon, it's by far one of the best action animes put out in years.

Now, the *real* plot has finally begun in the manga. Our heroes are going to be taking on some absolutely insanely powerful villians. It's going to rule. :D

Favorite fights:

Kakashi vs Zabuza

Sasuke vs Orochimaru

Lee vs Gaara

Neji vs Kidoumaru

Lee and Gaara vs Kimimaro

Kakashi and Gai vs the Sound and Sand Ninja

3rd Hokage vs Orochimaru

Sasuke vs Naruto (both times)

Gai vs ?????

Naruto vs ?????

Sorry, can't mention those last two yet because they haven't happened yet, but they kick ass. ;)

Long live Naruto!

[The Kingpin]

Lee and Gaara team up? :confused: Has it happened in the anime yet?

[Nathan]

Yup, it has.

[Mixairian]

You guys really gotta learn how to use spoiler tags. Like this. Though the idea of Gai fighting has peaked my interest.

[The Kingpin]

Yeah, thanks, now I know Lee survives the surgery

[Poeman]

wait till u see what happens later in the anime... the comics are kickass

[kritic]

goddamn it i need to watch this goddamn show again. what ep its on?

[WallCrawl]

goddamn it i need to watch this goddamn show again. what ep its on?

138.

[BlackOpsTengu]

No spoilers, just "hints" so you know your favorites will fight again. The anime is has already passed all the fights I mentioned except the last two. And don't worry, nothing is spoiled because you will absolutely plotz on the fights coming up. :D

D'oh! I forgot in my favorites

Naruto vs Gaara

The first, "large scale" fight ever on the show and our first true look at Naruto's progress. ;)

Anyone seen the two OVAs? The Crimson Clover and Battle at the Falls? If you haven't you can get them through the "usual" channels along the first movie.

[kamesan]

Now that I have a home computer, I've seen up to episode 100. I can't help but to notice the glaring similarities w/ this show & dbz:


Naruto=Gohan
Sakura=Bulma
Rock Lee=Tien
Gaara=Vegeta
Shino=Piccolo
& so on. Although I really like this show, there are several things that I don't agree w/ in the story, like how everyone takes forever to die. Someone has to show me where I use the spoiler tags, so I don't spoil any plots like SO MANY OTHERS HAVE DONE IN THE PAST!http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon8.gif

[The Kingpin]

Uh....no.

[Dark Carnage]

If anything, Naruto and Sasuke have the Goku/Vegeta relationship.

Sasuke was the top student, loved and respected by all. Considered a genius and being an Uchiha, was destined to be the best. Vegeta was the Saiya-Jin Prince, with his royal bloodline he was destined to become a legendary Super Saiya-Jin.

Naruto was weak, couldn't do anything right, yet his power has grown to the point where he surpassed Sasuke. Goku reached Super Saiya-Jin without even having that in mind. It just happened. (With a whole lot of luck, I might add.)

Vegeta and Sasuke were too weak for their own liking so accepted help from outside sources. Babadi and Orochimaru.

Gaara is probably closer to being Frieza.

[Guyverjay]

Its no big surprise really. Most Shonen manga have always kept to the Dragonball archetypes

Example: The main hero is reallly stupid but powerful as hell and usually loves eating.

Luffy,Naruto = Goku

[darkdaz]

I have just got into Naruto. Up to about episode 90 odd. I am really loving this show
Fave 2 characters so for, Gaara and Naruto. And rock lee not far behind. Don't really like sasuke he is abit too whiney and lets face it Naruto is going to be the most powerful in the end since its his show. Not happend yet in the episodes i have watched but i would love too see Naruto Mutate taking on deeper aspects of the 9 tails. Like growing longer teeth claws and them 9 tails that can destroy mountains.
