Why Original Naruto is BETTER than Shippuden

I think that original Naruto is better than Naruto Shippuden and in this video I explain why!

Although Naruto Shippuden has better fights like Naruto vs. Pain and Might Guy vs. Madara people just can't look past that fact. And even then part 1 of Naruto has iconic fights such as Rock Lee vs. Gaara and Naruto vs. Sasuke.

What really makes the original Naruto better to me is the connection we had with the characters. Characters like Rock Lee, Neji, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, Ino, and even Sakura. had large roles in part one but during Shippuden it seemed as though they had been forgotten.

What do you think, is original Naruto or Naruto Shippuden better?

I’d have to agree, the original naruto seemed way more cool, more serious, it gave off a real early 2000s cartoon/anime vibe that’s what I like about it. Everything about it was badass and the world felt way more mysterious

I still think the Chunin exams arc was peak Naruto

Shippuden ruined the legacy of Naruto because it proved Neji's philosophy on becoming great in the ninja world right. The ones who are great are born into greatness either by being part of a powerful bloodline, or through prophecy. No weak as ninja with nothing special about them will ever amount to true greatness even with hard work.

I feel like Naruto Shippuden was too focused on Sasuke and Narutos relationship and stuff that wasn't in the og naruto like working to become hokage. Everything just seemed all over the place especially after the 5 kage summit. The fighting was cool and all but it wasn't strategic like part 1 to the point i forgot the characters are ninjas.

I miss the old mysterious fights in naruto part one, seeing kakashi and zabuza having a stand off and having this tactical fight was peak.

Og Naruto: About ninjas and strategy
Naruto Shippuden: About aliens and titans overbuffs

The whole shippuden was finding sasuke and taking him back to the village .

In Shippuden every secondary characters are Chunin and Jonin. But we never see their growth. Especially Neji and Rock Lee, they had some really good fights before Shippuden.

1. Power escalation
2. in part 1, every jutsu had a special effect, strengths and weaknesses, which led to strategic fights. in part 2, the last one that was kind of strategic was Sasuke vs Deidara.
3. Too less focus on other characters. It would have been a lot to tell in addition, sure. But I would rather watch this + all of them fighting as chunin and jonin in a war in a forest, than 10 different stages of Obito and Madara being overpowered for hundrets of chapters, which leads to 4.
4. In my opinion the most important one, it was not about ninja missions anymore. Naruto was at its best, when they were on missions, they were more or less underqualified for. Every mistake could lead to a downfall. It was about traps, hiding, information gathering, etc. I loved moments like when Sasuke pulled kunai and demanded the scroll from Kabuto and Kabuto replied, if Sasuke would have been serious, he would just have attacked him with an ambush attack. That's how a ninja would fight.

The original Naruto is just so nostalgic, makes me sad when I look at Boruto

[FlyingMonet]

Naruto (as in the series) was destined to fail. Rushing plot, writers fatigue, etc happened to all of the big 3 and even dragon ball. I much, much, much prefer part 1 of Naruto over Shippuden. It's interesting because I only started to appreciate the little things as I got older

[jacinto]

It actually makes me sick when people say they just watch shippuden or recommend only shippuden.

[DrewPicklesTheDark]

I actually stopped consuming part 2 once it started dragging out and becoming extremely detached from the origins. It almost felt like the main characters were transported in to another universe since it went from throwing shuriken to shooting massive balls of death.

[KydLives]

Naruto part 1 was simplistic, and easy to understand while being enjoyable to entertain almost everyone with its fight, originality, and different styles and types within the power system, it had charectes relying on their witz, skill, and strategy to come up on top.

[noworneversoulbeach]

If somebody skips the original then they’re crazy.😂

[hoanx]

I think with the power scale up was generally just a problem with the whole series, not just Shippuden. Even in the first series nearly all of the genin side characters were not comparable to Naruto Kyuubi or Sasuke with Orochimaru's curse mark. Either way this was really well made and most points are agreeable.

the drawings of original naruto is way better than shippuden fr

[kiyanyip]

naruto og had a darker tone in my opinion especially for tsunade she was a juxter postion from narutos overall happy and optomistic outlook om life because she was a spiteful old drunk sad woman who dealt with pain through unhealthy ways naruto og had a darker tone and way less plot holes so as a story i believe its better but i had a lot more fun watching shipuden just because of all the hype moments it has

Funnily enough, Original Naruto felt way more mature then Shippuden. It felt more consistent in its quality, it had a beautifully balanced level of grit and comedy, and it felt like such a bombastic world, and it felt like ninja’s, but most importantly, they felt *intimate*
