A bit USA-centric?

>British slang is also used in place of more common terms, such as Sakura telling Naruto to "stop giving Sasuke evils" (slang for a dirty look) instead of just telling him to quit staring.

Why shouldn't a british edition use british idioms? Maybe this sentence should be flagged as "partial" or removed altogether.

>British slang is just as unwelcome as American slang, although the quoted sentence is a pretty bad example of a phrase not that commonly known or used even in some parts of Britain. It's also suggesting that it's moving even further away from the original phrasing of the show - possibly the British used the US version of the show for reference, instead of the Japanese one?

Move to Thursdays

As of October 5th, Naruto will be airing on Thursdays instead of Wednesdays. Also, as of this October 5th, one airing will be 90 minutes long. I think the move to Thursdays should be mentioned in the article. IamCool316 01:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

1) What network are you talking about? 2) 90 minute episode have a name? 3) Wait for it to happen, then report it. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 01:23, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, there is some proof. Im not entirely sure where the link was to show it is moving to thursdays but i have an image from the latest chapter and it says, im not entirely sure because i cant read Kanji, but a friend of mine says that there will be a 90 minute airing on October 5th. Im sorry i thought that everyone knew about this already dont attack me for saying something that i found out just 3 hours ago. Jezz... IamCool316 02:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Oops forgot to put down the Image of the manga showing the 10/5 airing to be 90 mins. http://img303.imageshack.us/my.php?image=heavysmoker003ma2.jpg IamCool316 02:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, you weren't very specific. At least the 90 minute thing sounds hopeful. Until we get a title, however, ther'e not much of a point. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 02:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Alrighty, sorry for the confusion. In new at this so dont attack me for not knowing what to do. And regarding the title for the 10/5 airing, i think it will surface around this upcomming week or the next.IamCool316 15:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Episodes 203-205 - 10/05/06 (90 Minute Special) Commemorating Naruto’s Move to Thursdays! Confrontation between Love and Hate, Students and Teachers… Genin and Jounin all come together in this rampaging 90-minute special!

Naruto moves to Thursdays. There is your proof. IamCool316 15:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

how do you think the end naruto?

you know when kakashi says rasengan is not complete becuase you have to fuse nature with form, i think to kill orochimaru naruto will form a rasengan and sasuke will then form a chidori and they wil fuse attacks thus completing the rasengan.

I think "the end naruto" is not a suitable subject for this talk page, and should be brought up on a fansite/forum. Which this website is not. That would be among the worst endings possible anyway. --tjstrf 18:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Characters maturity

Does anyone else feel the main characters in Naruto (Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, Sasuke etc) behave wayyy more mature then 12 year olds usually are (I'm sure as hell didn't think they were 12 when I started watching the anime)? I think this should be noted in some way. Kalandra 10:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to compliment you all on this Naruto article. It has to be one of the most educating encyclopedic entries I have read from the Misplaced Pages in regards to anime/manga. I like how you've picked at the series and identified the prevalent themes in the series. I definitely appreciate that because sometimes you're left in the dark as to determine the themes that the creator tried to convey, and some anime fans, whether they like to admit it or not, finish the series or is at a point in the series where they're confused. Thanks again Naruto Wiki team!

24.119.142.242 18:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)B Jones, an avid anime/mange fan!

This is definately the most expansive wiki for an anime I have seen, and one of the most expansive wikis I have seen in general.

Yes it is very informative and pretty well written. They have helped me alot in understanding the Naruto world. As for the question above, I feel that there maturity is understandable and is implied as normal when you take in consideration the world and culture they live in. A world where they are trained to defend lives with there own at a very young age so they have to matture quickly. Naruto is getting more mature but he isnt that mature in comparisson with the other charicters. Neji and Sasuke come from noble blood so they of course act the part. As for shikamaru he wasnt that mature in the start of the series but after he was promoted he realized the responsability he carried and being the smart guy that he is adjusted his way of living accordingly.BLaCk 22:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Gosh... we need some more mature people making the Naruto article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.106.58.232 (talk • contribs) 05:29, September 30, 2006.

List every power

What I think would improve the general Naruto info is, on each character's page, is a list of every power that character has used. That would improve our knowledge of each move and character! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.135.212.105 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

That has been done

Growth and Popularity

Hey, everyone. I'd just like to point out some points that should be noted as contributing to Naruto 's incredible popularity; when Naruto premiered in 1999, it was featured on the famous Toriyama's World website and always had consistent, high quality scanslations; this was also the advent of bittorrent, which allowed distribution of Naruto to be all that much easier. IRC popularity and the spawning of several large, huge fansites simultaneously dedicated to Bleach and Naruto only further inflamed favour for these excellent shows. Additionally, older manga like One Piece, which could have potentially spoiled Naruto's popularity, recieved little attention because it was widely assumed in the pre-2000 period that the OP anime was licensed, and there was never a dedicated or consistent scanslation group to edit the manga; this allowed Naruto and Bleach to gain much more fame, in part because of dedication and technological innovations. 68.189.82.81 23:5712 September 2006 (UTC)

Cool, but that's original research. To include information like that in the article we really need sources. ~MDD4696 02:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

This show is really hyped up. What's so great about it? (130.113.226.6 14:24, 13 September 2006 (UTC))

naruto special

SATURDAY: 09/23/2006

8:30PM Naruto 51 A Shadow in Darkness: Danger Approaches Sasuke

9:00PM Naruto Special 1 The Adventures of Naruto!...Oh, And Everyone Else Too! / One on One: Every Genin For Themselves!

this is the schedule for Sept 23 as listed by www.toonzone.net

think this is one of the OVAs or maybe the special episode that is supposed to air in Japan on Oct 5th? 71.71.79.235 15:34, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

um dude thats USA airings...japan is on like episode 200 now...tahts episode 51.....read things before posting -Gus- (66.191.125.243)

at this time Japan is ON 200 not "like 200", i do read things. that is why i listed the source of that schedule so people could be aware to be on the lookout for it if it is something only going to be shown in america and not an official release clip show like we think 202 is. and with the name of the one labeled Special 1 following episode 51. maybe you should read before posting. 71.71.79.235 06:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

The special appears to be a clip show. It will probably summarize the plot and show all the fight scenes between the genin that have occurred during the chunin exam arch thusfar. Narutofan discusses the subject here: –Gunslinger47 02:23, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks for that link. guess it is just garbage made by Viz to fill space. i see the speculation on future airings after episode 53 in that and think Naruto will end for a while on CN cause i read that the final episode of inuyasha will be airing in October. so maybe since Beach and Trinity Blood have become the midnight hour Inuyasha wil take Naruto's timeslot for October until it is done. but that makes no sense to show the clip show then a regular episode the go off schedule for a month. unless they are just wanting to create anticipation for the final round of the Chunin Exam. 71.71.79.235 06:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Anime Filler Arcs/Canon

I rewrote a couple lines from the 'Anime' section, nothing but speculation.

Though these arcs are only present in the anime, it is likely that their events will hold true in the manga, since continuity issues would be created if they were ignored. No specific comment has been given on their status, however.

I changed it to:

It is unknown whether these filler arcs will be incorporated into the manga.

I still think even that is too speculatory. If anyone wants to take it out altogether, go right ahead - I just have this hesitation about removing things completely.

Cartoon Network M-Thur Schedule

Naruto was running Mon-Thurs on Cartoon Network @ 9PM CST, but I went to the scheduling page at C.N. and next weeks schedule does not have Naruto playing Mon-Thurs. Does anyone know if this is a mistake, or is the network removing the Mon-Thurs replays?--Salvax 19:51, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I live in Canada and naruto doesn't come everyday at 8: 30 as it did before! I totally agree with Salvax! Himanyo 02:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

It's gone. Apparently it wasn't bringing in the viewers. Pacific Coast Highway 03:20, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

It's back on the schedule. Disreguard that. Pacific Coast Highway 19:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Back where/when? I just checked this entire week and did not see Naruto listed during the weekdays on CN. shadzar|Talk|contribs 21:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Redisreguard, in fact I dunno anymore. My TV Guide says so, but we'll see. Pacific Coast Highway 21:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The Naruto Wiki

So, does a Wiki specifically for Naruto exist yet? I mean, If they have a whole Wiki on the iPod, then I think someone can create a Naruto Wiki. Misplaced Pages is like a corporate exec, like Wal-Mart. It has a little bit of everything, but isn't as good as your local guys (i.e.: For music, you want Allegro Music. Wal-Mart sucks in terms of Music supplies). I would personally like to see a Naruto Wiki. Call it AkatWiki or something (Modeled after Akatsuki). 71.212.160.161 05:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

... I don't think Naruto is that big yet. While it certainly is popular, it really doesn't have enough topics to fill its own Wiki. Trust me, Category:Naruto has everything you need to know about the series so far and more. You Can't See Me! 03:24, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

You can cover Naruto quite nicely here. No need to start forking the database. --tjstrf 03:31, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Swearing in dub.

In which episode did they say the B word?

Which one? The Wretched 05:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Well, either way, I don't think it's on the dub. It wuld be on the Naruto Uncut DVD Box set, but not the dub. The Wretched 05:40, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

The word bitch is not profane in itself. It's only profane when used insultingly. I could see the Inuzuka clan using the term in an acceptable fashion. This is assuming, of course, that by the "B-word" you mean "bitch". If you meant bukkake, it was mentioned in episodes 5, 9, 16 and 37, as well as sixteen times within the 101 Omake alone. ;p –Gunslinger47 02:21, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually I was talking about the other b word.I'm just saying b word because i don't want to swear.And it was in the Naruto Wiki.

If by "B word," you mean "That's bull!" I believe Kiba said that at one point. It was either him or Naruto at some point around their fight, but I'm pretty sure it's Kiba. And was bukkake actually mentioned that many times? I've watched 101 several times (subbed) and I can't recall seeing it once. 'Course, that was several months ago, but I still think I would have remembered something like that. You Can't See Me! 01:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to anger you,but I mean the b word that has they a after.It said they said it.

• If they said "bastard" it's certainly not on the TV version. Danny Lilithborne 10:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• The TV version of episode 25 (The Tenth Question: All or Nothing!), they have Kiba use the word bull ("That's bull, man!"). --Alexie 16:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
• "Bastard" is not a swear, is it? at least YTV aceptable i think. Guille2015 17:54, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Bukkake? I assume you mean the food of that name. Also, Narutofan, it's OK to actually say what word you're talking about. --tjstrf 16:31, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Naruto Universe template

Where can I get the text for this Naruto template, you know, the one at the bottom of the page that says 'Naruto Universe' and has all the links? - The preceding comment was made by Grevenko Sereth 2:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

{{Naruto info}} – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 17:01, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

On a more general note about the template, why is it one giant box, rather than two or three that are crosslinked to only the relevant similar articles within the category? For instance, we could seperate out the characters from the main template, and only use the one which applies directly to the page in question. In that way, we could make the template look less cluttered than at present. --tjstrf 17:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Navigation boxes should encompass the whole of a series. Also, it doesn't seem that bad to me. It's concise and well-formatted, not like some other giant messes of links. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 17:22, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help Someguy0830, using the Naruto template as a guide, I created my own template. Go to Super Power Warriors to see it (of course it's not finished but it's a good start). I created this template because I am writing a story called Super Power Warriors that will have a prequel series (Super Power) and a sequel series (Super Power Warriors: Infinite), all of which I hope to turn into computer animated television series. I'm well on my way towards finishing the main series, then I'll be able to work on the other two series. So it will be 2007/2008 before you see much more of SP/SPW/SPW:I. If you're interested, you can read some of my work here: http://filelodge.bolt.com/profile/Grevenko/. I've only uploaded the first saga so far but I'll upload more soon. - The preceding comment was made by Grevenko Sereth 1:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

So will you be the one to tell him that his non-notable and presently non-existant fiction doesn't need a template (or an article), or should I? --tjstrf 16:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Considering his record shows he has a habit of not listening to, much less replying to, messages on his talk page, you might as well tell him here. NeoChaosX 19:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Konoha Sports Festival

Is it just me,or does the sports festival stadium look like the stadium in battle stadium D.O.N?

naruto

I think it's kind of stupid that kakashi ditched naruto, for saske.

Sasuke had more potential.

Naruto

I recently got into naruto cause they jus showed it to england (bunch of bums) and i think its really good now i know every thing about it and read all the comics im into it and i think its really got a good plot and storysoz guy im old yeh but CAN NARUTO BE THE FOURTH ??? just asking cus he wants to live his kinda legacy right

err.... look up Hokage in the Land of Fire section please. That is all.

4th? That old geezer? No. How about his being the 7th? Anyway, this really isn't a discussion forum and shouldn't be used as such. --tjstrf 23:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

English dub

What episode is the English dub up to? I noticed that Naruto will soon be coming out on DVD (October 11 - the first Naruto DVD comes out in Australia), so I'm just curious to know how many episodes have been dubbed into English. - The preceding comment was made by Grevenko Sereth 21:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

In America episode 52 has aired and two VIZ only episodes to recap the 2nd and 3rd stages of the Chunin exam. So if you really want to count those there have been 54 dubbed episodes in an English language, and actual episode 53 to air this Saturday. 71.71.79.235 18:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The recap doesn't count. It's a glorified clip show with no Japanese equivalent. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 18:35, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect Information

In america, the publisher is Shonen Jump. Just a heads up.

English-language broadcast

On September 10, 2005, Naruto had its hour-long premiere in the U.S. on Cartoon Network's Toonami. The first episode of Naruto premiered in Canada on YTV on September 16, 2005. New episodes of Naruto currently air on Saturdays at 9:00 p.m. EST on Cartoon Network with an encore presentation the following Saturday at 8:30 p.m. On YTV it airs Fridays at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST and an encore presentation at 2:00 a.m. on Saturdays. In the UK, Naruto is shown on Jetix at 7:30 p.m. GMT. In Australia and New Zealand it premiered on Cartoon Network on September 27, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. AEST. The earlier English episodes are also available on Toonami Jetstream, Cartoon Network's broadband video service.

What is wrong with that? Some of it shows when the anime series was broadened and placed into multilingual production. Even if current airing times don't belong, its first airing in a new country should be substanial information to not remove entirely as it shows the growth and popularity of the series. 71.71.79.235 15:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

How many viewiers do naruto pull in the u.s?

Do anybody have the numbers of the viewers this show pull in for the new episodes? The reason im asking this so i could add it in the growth and popularity section of this article.

P.S i dont want the ratings but the actual numbers please thank you.

Card Game

I was thinking something was wierd when I added the link to the CCG and the reference to it was removed

Among several other manga and anime titles Naruto has also spawned its own collectible card game.

Replacing it is this revison

Revision as of 15:00, October 1, 2006 (edit)

(restoring deleted paragraph, reword)

I added the card game info without removing anything. Not sure then whether I should again replace the card game info or Someguy mistakenly thought I had changed a paragraph that didn't exist back when I added the info in the first place.

Are card games made from anime/manga relevant enough to list in the main article for such anime/manga tosfurther show its "Growth and Popularity"?

shadzar|Talk|contribs 17:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that. Someone deleted an entire paragraph. I must have caught your addition with the rollback. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 17:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem at all. With all the recent vandals it is quite easy to strip a part of the article that may belong. I just didn't know if the card game itself belongs on the page or not so I was checking with everyone else's opinion that has more experience than me before I added it back. shadzar|Talk|contribs 18:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Akatsuki 9 or 10

OK iIbeen watching it change back and forth on occation, so can some agreement be made as to how many members it has? Orochimaru WAS a member until he left and there are only 10 rings leaving 9 members of the main group. Considering Sasori was quickly replaced by Tobi for Deiedra to still have a partner, then can saying it comprises of 10 S-rank ninjas be truthful. Apparently there are more than 10 members. Also we don't know the ranks of the subordinates. One of the S-rank criminals left leaving only a definate 9.

Is thre any way to come to terms so that something can be agreed upon by all as to not be some complicated? How about (which consists of 9 S-Rank and other criminals)?

Maybe even remove it from the main article since Akatsuki has its own article in which people can check to see its membership both past and present.

shadzar|Talk|contribs 23:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Two editors seem determined to strip out as much content from the article as possible, can the other editors please keep an eye on them?

Thank you.KenshinSayAra? 13:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that's bad move to be calling an admin a vandal, don't you think? And he has a point; the sections he and Tjstrf are removing are biased POV and fan observations, which don't belong on an encyclopedic article about the series. NeoChaosX 15:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

With as many vandlas of late it is a bit hard to follow every member to see who is admin or not. When fan reactions cause a change in the airing/editing doesn't that make it worthy of note? I am trying to figure out how much opinion can go into types of articles that may have had effect on the production and release of overseas versions. Thanks for any help in understanding. shadzar|Talk|contribs 16:42, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

The answer would be none. Fans don't determine when shows air, they only determine whether or not they survive, and even that isn't true some of the time. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 16:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Nothing prevents an admin from being a vandal. Some of them just get full of themselves and think they own an article. The only difference between an admin and a normal user is that if an admin decides to be incivil, push pov, and use their powers against you, you're fucked and can't do anything about it.

Oh, and: I think their removals are bad. There is nothing unencyclopedic about mentioning at what point two forms of a media - in this case anime and manga - separate in terms of storyline. But they keep removing that.
