Naruto #12 Reaction - Early Access!

I wonder why we have many kids there always complaining about two eps a week and giving spoiler and acting like nothing like ********

2 episodes a week bullshit aside, can we all agree that they need to skip a majority of the filler?

Lads 2 episodes a week would be solid!

It's NA-ru-To dangit!!

Here we see more similarities between Kota and Deku with Inari and Naruto. Those henchmen (Muscular) kill Inari's father figure (Kota's parents) for being heroic, Inari (Kota) hates heroic people because of that but then Naruto (Deku) saves him from the same people and Inari comes to like Naruto as a hero. So yeah, Horikoshi, the author of My Hero Academia, is a big fan of Naruto xD

Haku is definitely a boy (its clearer in flashbacks). But he's also like 11. So pretty sure there wouldnt be cleavage even if he were a girl. The joke about Hakus gender hits harder in the Japanese though. In Japanese, they don't usually use male/female pronouns, at least not the way we do. They have gendered words, sure, but they are more context based, indicating that the person is more masculine or feminine than the speaker, not necessarily that they are male or female. And, those words are often used as terms of endearment, they arent needed for normal communication the way "he" or "she" are. So, up until this episode in Japanese, Haku hasnt been referred to by any gendered words at all. The first time we get any indication of Haku's gender at all is when Naruto refers to him as "onee-chan" (an affectionate word meaning "older sister", which isnt uncommon in Japanese culture, when an older girl cares for a lost child, buuuut, given that they are the same age, or pretty close to it, it's clear that Naruto is actually just flirting here). Haku declaring himself a boy is meant to be a massive punchline, four episodes in the making. In the japanese I believe he is also a lot gruffer when declaring it too. Uses more crude language that either didn't translate well, or was censored for kids. "By the way, I have a penis." Defintiely something that lost some humor in the translation since we already knew he was a boy from previous episodes. For the English dub, the humor was in narutos reaction. But in the Japanese, it would have been a shock for the whole audience too.

The technique is called "CHAKRA FEET!!!!!!!!!"

Man, I really love how refreshing your reactions are! You guys really take your time to appreciate what you can, no matter the terrible pacing
