Boy dies after friends imitate Naruto

Cartoon Network brings anime to the Web

Trivia (257)

When it first shows Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in the forest remembering their trip in the forest, Sakura has long hair (even when one of their memories was of Sakura cutting her hair).

While Naruto is captured, he uses his teeth to grab a nail file from his shoe. When it shows the close-up of Naruto trying to file through the chain, his whiskers are gone.

When Naruto, Sasuke and Shibuki are hiding behind a rock in the cave, Naruto's whiskers are missing.

When Sakura says "Sasuke-kun is so cool!", her head looks a bit too big for her body.

The Falls Ninja uses the Water Dragon Blast technique without doing the long series of hand seals done in the Kakashi VS Zabuza fight

When Naruto uses his Orioke no Jutsu (Sexy Jutsu), in the Japanese version, Iruka is shown having a nosebleed and then yelling at Naruto with tissues up his nose to stop the bleeding. However, in the edited version of the English dub, when the blood was edited out, the tissues were still there when he yelled, "CUT THE STUPID TRICKS!"

During the confrontation scene with Naruto, Iruka and Mizuki, watch the shoulder of Iruka's vest. First, it's pinned to the wall behind him after Mizuki first attacks. When Iruka first yells at Mizuki not to tell Naruto the truth about his past, his vest is free from being pinned, yet when he yells at Mizuki the third time to stop, his vest is again pinned to the wall and Iruka rips the shoulder of his vest out from the kunai that pinned it there.

When Mizuki and Iruka were talking in the forest Iruka's vest had a cut on the shoulder, but when Iruka said "How's that?" the cut was gone.
