Naruto Shippuuden Episode 199 (Canon)

I remember when they would introduce new characters for this series that didn't have "hilarious" personality quirks...


Anyway, I wonder what the difference between Ninjas and Samurais is.

Really? when was that?

Episode 1 = Hyperactive demon prankster Obsessive Inner-Sakura'd Sakura, A perverted Teacher with a hidden face who was perpetually late, and a closet pervert training the hokage's son, who makes nude jutsu.

Or did you mean the second arc? With the always-chomping chouji, a lazy supersmart underachiever, GAI AND ROCK LEE?

what the hell anime have you been watching? stop looking for things to hate lol

All the villains. But you're right, it was always bad.

I'm just saying, they could go 3 seconds after introducing a character before showing us that character's cliched quirky personality defect and running them through the patented Shounen character process.

Step 1. Here is a new character
Step 2. As soon as that character speaks, reveal how they are zany.
Step 3. Have said zaniness manifest in every scene the character appears in until it's no longer amusing.
Step 4. Have said quirk until it takes over every aspect of the character and extreme flanderization sets in, and the character is nothing more than a personification of that joke.

But then they'd either be boring or assholes.
