AshleyHOST
Oh, um-
KeithPANELIST
Akatsuki
JJPANELIST
...
JJPANELIST
Akatsuki.
AshleyHOST
Akatsuki.
JJPANELIST
Bl- sky blue blazers, it was Death the Kid and Li- Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty.
JJPANELIST
Like-
speaker_1HOST
And Naruto's desperately trying to save his closest friend, Sasuke Uchiha, who has essentially defected to pursue this dark path of vengeance.
speaker_0HOST
While simultaneously being targeted by the Akatsuki, which is this terrifying rogue organization.
speaker_1HOST
Yeah.
speaker_1HOST
And what makes Shippuden such a narrative evolution from DBZ is that its villains are deeply, deeply multidimensional.
JayPANELIST
Okay.
MarioHOST
the Akatsuki oh cloak do you know what I mean and then now everyone thinks he's got it right and now you're questioning someone because
JayPANELIST
when you said clouds I wasn't thinking the cloak I was thinking the village still but then in the Akatsuki there's multiple villages
MarioHOST
yeah
OliPANELIST
fair
JuanGUEST
So a big part of that immersion, a big part of making you feel like you are where you are is that background music.
JuanGUEST
You know what I mean? And like fighting in, you know, the forest of death, fighting in the Akatsuki Haida or fighting in Orochimaru's Haida.
JuanGUEST
Like everything...
JuanGUEST
Like all the music is written with a purpose behind each place.
JuanGUEST
Like I keep mentioning the Akatsuki Hideout.
JuanGUEST
It's one of my favorite ones from Storm 2 because the music is like, it has this industrial vibe to it.
JuanGUEST
You know, like you start with the big choirs, like in Naruto, like in one of the best songs from Naruto, which is also the Akatsuki Hideout.
JuanGUEST
So you start kind of with the same idea, but you can't stay there, right? Because you're going to have to fight in there eventually.
DotoDoyaHOST
What? How? Man, yeah, Deidara was cool.
DotoDoyaHOST
A lot of the Akatsuki was co- Sasori was sick.
DotoDoyaHOST
I don't know if I've told this story, but like, um, another big thing Naruto was for me in my life was I went to my friend's house and he, he had like a hookup with Japan, or maybe his uncle went to Japan.
DotoDoyaHOST
He's like-
DotoDoyaHOST
So I see Sakura-
NanogenixHOST
Next Naruto
DotoDoyaHOST
... fighting an Akatsuki member and like going hand-to-hand with like these massive Tsunade level attacks.
DotoDoyaHOST
I'm like, "Wha..." And I, the first thing I did, I turned to him, I was like, "What, what are Naruto and Sasuke doing in this series, bro? Like if Sakura's moving like this, this shit must be crazy." And yeah, and then he, we put in the Wii game, which was limi- uh, exclusive to Japan at that point, with Deidara on the cover and everything.
KennyHOST
Yeah.
KennyHOST
My biggest thought, this is, like, the one I'm really, like, I really think might be number one, was just, like, an Akatsuki, like, Akatsuki in general.
FrayWyrHOST
Okay.
FrayWyrHOST
That's fair.
KennyHOST
Just, like, the, those Akatsuki cloaks 'cause-
FrayWyrHOST
Yeah
KennyHOST
...
KennyHOST
I think just the reason why I thought about this is 'cause we were talking about the Organization cloaks.
UchiHOST
Like, there's people that have drawn...
UchiHOST
There have been people drawing Naruto in an Akatsuki jacket for years.
UchiHOST
okay like as just fan art but that's it just fan art right now of course we have this we're in this new ai world where it's like shit you don't even know what's real anymore you know and that's that's crazy to even say and think about but then you have these rare gems that stick out in the sand of all this fake artificial shit that's real Right.
UchiHOST
And so you see this concept and the concept of would you watch this version of Naruto?
CJHOST
I agree with a lot of Donzo's takes.
CJHOST
I think he was stupid everything he did with the Akatsuki.
CJHOST
If it wasn't for him.
CJHOST
The Akatsuki? Yes.
CJHOST
The Akatsuki.
CJHOST
What did he do with the Akatsuki? He pushed Hanzo to fight the Akatsuki because he didn't want them getting stronger and potentially being a threat to the Leaf Village.
CJHOST
Do you know why?
MalGUEST
Makes sense.
Nathan WallaceGUEST
the main movie.
XHOST
They have nothing to do with the Grand Line or with Akatsuki or with whatever's going on with Dragon Ball.
XHOST
I don't
Nathan WallaceGUEST
watch them.
Bob KingHOST
I mean, he's a protagonist.
Bob KingHOST
He's a necessary protagonist because we need him so we can see what the evil side, the Akatsuki is doing.
Bob KingHOST
His whole going away thing, that's how we were able to see into what Orochimaru and all them guys were even doing.
Bob KingHOST
So he was necessary in my opinion.
