The BBS trio eventually making it to Quadratum and this happens.

Hastily made but I am crossing my fingers their eventual meet up is like this. Just the sheer look of shock and slight terror.

I Counted Every Flashback In Naruto

As we all know, Naruto is an anime notorious for its flashbacks. I remember being so annoyed at seeing the same flashbacks multiple times in an episode when I first watched it. So way back in July of 2017 I got curious and wondered how many flashbacks there were in total. And yes it took me almost 3 years to complete this. I watched every episode and tallied every flashback I saw and categorized it as well. And now as of July 2019, I have finally finished. And here are my findings:

18 flashbacks about Naruto’s childhood/years in the Academy

47 flashbacks about Sasuke/Uchiha Clan

12 flashbacks about the conflict with Mizuki/Mizuki’s life

56 flashbacks about the Land of the Wave Arc/Zabuza & Haku/Inari & his Dad

21 flashbacks about Itachi

23 flashbacks about the Sasuke Recovery Arc

10 flashbacks about the Uchiha Massacre

12 flashbacks about Kimmimaro

3   flashbacks about the Kyuubi Attack

11 flashbacks about the Third Hokage

7  flashbacks about Iruka/his childhood

3  flashbacks about Kyuubi sealed into Naruto/Naruto’s birth

22 flashbacks about Naruto saying inspirational words/speech

44 flashbacks about Team 7 or members of Team 7

10 flashbacks about Naruto training

12 flashbacks about Naruto having moments with others

31 flashbacks about Naruto & Sasuke having fights/moments

19 flashbacks are misc or I don’t know how to place

98 flashbacks about the Chuunin Exams

32 flashbacks about Team Gai or members of Team Gai

9  flashbacks about Sakura & Ino (their friendship)

22 flashbacks about Orochimaru

24 flashbacks about Hinata & Neji

20 flashbacks about Team 10 or members of Team 10

36 flashbacks about the Sand Siblings & their childhood

35 flashbacks about Jiraiya & Tsunade/their childhood

30 flashbacks about Team 8 or members of Team 8

5 flashbacks about Land of Rice Feilds Investigation Mission/Fuuma Clan

7 flashbacks about Kurosaki Family Removal Mission/Ranmaru & Karashi’s past

3  flashbacks about Gosunkugi Capture Mission

14 flashbacks about Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission

5  flashbacks about Anko/her past

6 flashbacks about the Kaima Capture Mission/Isaribi & her life

24 flashbacks about the Star Guard Mission/Sumaru’s Past and family

6 flashbacks about the Peddlers Escort Mission

18 flashbacks about the Konoha Plans Recapture Mission

13 flashbacks about the Yakumo Kurama Rescue Mission

10 flashbacks about the Gantetsu Mission/Todoroki’s past

6 flashbacks about the Menma Memory Search Mission

6 flashbacks about the Sunagakure support Mission/Matsuri 

The grand total of all flashbacks is: 791

So yeah, that’s how many there are. Some of them were rather difficult to decide if it was a flashback or not but I think I did pretty well. Now I’m onto the real challenge-Shippuden. If I don’t upload another list by 2021 then I’m probably dead.

You know, I always figured that Sarutobi played it off as “Oh look, an orphan boy with no clan, better give him the same name as outer fallen sister village to honor them.” And no one thought it was weird because the shinobi wear the Uzumaki Clan symbol on their vests anyway. Although the fact that no one put “child with large chakra reserves+prankster+loves ramen+looks suspiciously like the Fourth Hokage and his wife” together is frustrating. So yeah. Can you imagine, though, if that was a common occurrence in the orphanage? Giving some nameless child the Uzumaki name? Then Naruto comes along with all these whispers of being the Kyuubi reborn, and they stop because no one wants to share a name with him? THE ANGST

Me every godsdamn day:

The absolute absurdity of Sarutobi allowing Naruto to be openly known as Uzumaki Naruto.

somebody once trolled me, successfully rickroll’d me
