ehh I would have to call their relationship more of a master and his loyal dog kinda thing. Yea there is love there, but that doesn't change the fact he is basically his slave.

To all the people complaining about "Believe it!" they did not just add it in there. It is an adaptation of the word Dattebayo (which has no actual translation) that Naruto used on the end of all his sentences.

This is why I want to learn Japanese, some things just don't translate. Well in any case its still a catch phrase. Wonder why it never appears in the manga or (I am assuming this) the fan subs?

Good point Pyros, but I didn't notice him saying dattebayo until later in the anime. But if it has no translation, they could have just left it out and had Naruto finish his sentence like a normal person.

Did anyone watch last nights episode? If I remember from the Japanese version, they showed the water clone beating up Naruto when he goes for the headband. Last night, it was edited it out, but the part where the clone holds Sasuke by the neck and throws Sasuke was kept. Am I the only one who thinks that was wierd?

Edit: Yeah, Naruto doesnt have a catch phrase in the fansubs, but you can hear dattebayo.

Huh. Dattebayo is believe it. Now i can tell Nin that it's not the translator's fault, it's Masashi Kishmoto's fault. Then he'll stop ranting about the dubbing and start going on sobful murder sprees questioning everything he's believed in.

This is gonna be funny.

Hmmm... didn't know that. But still, it drives me nuts.

Oh well.

Tonights episode, IMHO, was much cooler than the chapter in the magna. I dunno, I just like the animated stuff more. Probably 'cause of the color.

Except for FMA. Ed's voice kinda was a shock to me. :P

That's what they did in the manga, though I never noticed the "believe it", of course when I heard the voice's, and saw how they had stretched the height of Kakashi's hair in one set of frames I ran away to focus on the glory of the manga.

Alright, I finally got a hold of a bunch of Fansubs. Damn, there's a lot of them.

Here's a problem I've had with it: Please tell me that Naruto is going to get some more action time here. Basically it's all about Sasuke. I mean, just change the name of the show to "Sasuke", and I won't be upset when he's the one getting all the action. Naruto is the main character, and I want to see him fight. But no, It's always some guy coming up to Sasuke going "I want to be your rival" and Sasuke is all "You are strong and I'm filled with generic rage because I'm cool like that" and Sakura is "I love you Sasuke and I'll go celebrate with you instead of checking on Naruto who is unconscious from saving your ass". Yeah, please tell me that Naruto gets more screen time in a good way because I'm starting to get tired of hearing about how great Sasuke is.

And also, not seeing them kiss isn't such a big deal. So they cut it out. Whoopdedoo.

The show follows Naruto, but Sasuke is more important. So yes, you will see Naruto fight many times, but you will also see Sasuke fight many times.

In the first arc, the one where Naruto and Co. defend the bridge, Sasuke is stronger, has a quicker reaction, etc than Naruto. This means that Sasuke is the one who does a lot of fighting, trust me though...

Naruto has his moments that blow anything Sasuke can do out of the water. This is why later in the series Sasuke (/SPOILER) goes AWOL, he hates himself so much for being equal to a "dropout" like Naruto.(/END SPOILER)

Of course, all of Team 7 gets their moments, even Sakura gets a brief moment.

As for the whole "believe it!" thing, it is a replacement for his saying "datte ba yo" in the Japanese version. And for those of you who wonder why he says those things, some Japanese people add some words to the end of their sentences to add some personality to it. It doesn't really mean something in particular, but a close translation would be something along the lines of "OH FUCK YEAH!" or "OH HELL YEAH" if you wanna stay PG13.

Foe example, If i say "Kore wa hon datte ba yo" it would translate as "How many times do I have to tell you that this is a book?" Or: " This is a Fucking book!"

See learning can be fun!
