For catching a bunch of monsters you need a bunch of ninjas who have capabilities of legendary stature. They are a band of rogue talented ninjas who are tasked with capturing the tailed beasts to put them in a vessel known as the Gedo Statue. We got a taste of the Akatsuki in ‘Naruto’. Sometimes, he felt a little too uninteresting.
I felt that he could have been given a better character. One thing I didn’t like is the introduction of Sai. Similarly, a lot of characters have had noticeable changes in their personality though at the core they still remain the same. The best of all is seeing Akamaru, the small dog who used to sit on Kiba’s head is now a large dog who can carry Kiba on his head. We also see a grown-up Kiba and Rock Lee who have matured too. She can hold her own in a fight and can even fight alongside Naruto as she proves during the Pain arc. But now she is all grown up and beautiful (I find her to be the prettiest in the anime) and has more confidence. Earlier, she used to faint while talking to Naruto or couldn’t look him in the eye directly. We see Hinata in a different light over here. She is quite like Tsunade in terms of strength and her Kunoichi skills. Later in the series, Sakura becomes really powerful and possesses the strength of the hundred seals. Though at later stages we do see her love for Sasuke getting in the way but it is never that annoying. She seems mature and looks like someone who is confident. When Naruto Shippuden starts we see a much better version of Sakura. I have previously mentioned that this at times it became really annoying to watch. Sakura who was immature and was unable to do anything because of her love for Sasuke. The show did that by making the characters grown.

As the series was really long, it meant that the characters needed to be constantly refreshed and upgraded to suit the needs of the fan. Many people who started reading the manga or watched the anime were quite young. This made the series much more relatable. It upgraded its character throughout the life of the series. This is one part I liked a lot about the ‘Naruto’ series. They had grown up over the time-lapse and had achieved grown-up personality traits. But anyway, the visuals didn’t affect me much.
These vibrant details in the previous series gave the characters their unique feel. Though the characters still had their unique characteristics details were much low. I did a little research into this and found out that it was due to the creator of ‘Naruto’, Masashi Kishimoto, making the characters easier to draw. There are notable differences between the character designs of ‘Naruto’ and ‘Naruto Shippuden’. I will talk about the characters in general from the point of view of ‘Naruto Shippuden’.įirst of all, let’s talk about the design style of ‘Naruto Shippuden’. Since you have landed on this article, I am assuming you have already watched ‘Naruto’ and are well aware of the characters and various plot points.
We will discuss the parts that worked and parts that didn’t? Let’s also see why ‘Naruto’ had such a great impact. I won’t segregate the plot into arcs but rather talk about the important parts as a whole.
Here I am gonna talk about the series in bulk. The way I normally approach explainers is by talking a bit about some of the main characters and the talking about the various arcs and how they led to the ending.
