I dunno if I'm allowed to do this, but if I can, here's the official thread for the discussion of Naruto #40. If you missed episode 39 (Bushy Brow's Jealousy: Lions Barrage Unleashed!), you can see it at 8:30pm just before episode 40.

Its obvious by the title of ep.40, that Kakashi will be fightin Orochimaru! But is Kakashi strong enough to take on the sinister snake man?! And what about the preliminary matches?! What other matches will come? Who will lose? Who will win?!

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

WHo cares about Orochiomaru and Kakashi!

Shino gets to fight! YES! Very creepy, atleast in the manga.

 

[mangod/pikachu]

I love the dub, but I have to say Shino's English voice sucks. It just doesn't give you that mysterious feeling.

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

I like Shino's voice, it's Ken from Digimon 02!

And Zaku sounds like Don Patch. XD

But, this was less violent then the manga, Zaku's arms weren't blown off!

 

[cold_katanagirl]

But, this was less violent then the manga, Zaku's arms weren't blown off!

Weren't his arms still on in the anime, only full of holes? I wasn't really paying attention to that part though, so I'm probably wrong. D:

I don't get excited at the thought of Shino's voice either, but what can you do? Orochimaru's theme is awesome. :O

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

Yeah, his arms were just injured in the anime, while in the Manga his arms were blown off.

This episode did make Shino seem like a bad guy, when hes not.

 

[Haruka's Swimsuit]

I like Shino's voice, it's Ken from Digimon 02!

And Zaku sounds like Don Patch. XD

You do know Naruto and BoBoBo-Bo Bo-Bobo are dubbed by the same studio?

But, this was less violent then the manga, Zaku's arms weren't blown off!

I'm pretty sure there was an explosion that was cut out...

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

Yeah, his arms were just injured in the anime, while in the Manga his arms were blown off.

Same effect, though...

BTW, Shino is now officially a badàss in my eyes. And I could've sworn for a second that I heard Davis' voice from Rock Lee when he was in shock. I do believe they share the same VA...

 

[Juputoru]

This is the ep that lets you know why Shino rocks. He's creepy, but in a cool way. And of course, he completely owned Zaku. "What you put bugs in my arm tubes?!?!?!1111oneoneichiBOOM"

And Kankuro's fight is next. Yay.

 

[Alphonse Elric]

Hmm...

Been there, done that. Seen that episode a long time ago. Shino is awesome there, of course. But I didn't think that Zaku reminiscing about Orochimaru was necessary...

Over all, I'd describe it as average.

I'm waiting for the Neji vs. Hinata-chan fight, though. Hinata-chan... *Drools*

 

[The Big Al]

I'd have to say bloody holes in the arms is enough gore to get the point across. And they kept the explosion I saw it burst through his arms, unless there's more to it.

So the Shino's a living hive. Creepy but effective.

 

[YoshiAngemon]

You do know Naruto and BoBoBo-Bo Bo-Bobo are dubbed by the same studio?

Well, they were done by Shonen Jump, but they are individually dubbed by Viz Media and Geneon, respectively. Viz dubbed Naruto, and Geneon dubbed Bo-BoBo, and they're the same ones who dubbed Viewtiful Joe!

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

However, they do share alot of the same VA's, actually pretty much every Non-4Kids dub anime shares VAs.

 

[GymLeaderLance99]

I like Shino's voice, it's Ken from Digimon 02!

I knew it! I knew I recognized that voice! And Izzy's voice was used for that kid in the Bridge Builder's village. Heh, I also noticed Davis' voice in Rock Lee. And that makes me beg the question: did Viz dub Digimon?

Anyway, this was a good episode, and Kakashi's threat to Orochimaru wasn't carried out, but who knows, he might've done it. And as for Shino's fight, well, let's just say it was creepy with all those bugs coming out of him. Now, it looks like we're about to see a catfight between Sakura and Ino...

 

[Ralts Master]

I'm pretty sure there was an explosion that was cut out...

Just an fyi, Zaku's arms blow off only in the manga. They edited it (among other things) when the anime was made...

 

[Kabuto]

Didn't see why they needed to show Zaku's past

Spoiler: Read the spoiler, you know you want to find out what happens

seeing as how Zaku dies soon

Anyway great episode. I thought Shino's voice suited him more in the Japanese version, but he is still creepy anyway. Great fights coming up

Spoiler: C'mon read the spoiler!

can't wait to see Rock Lee vs. Gaara translated

Cool scene with kakashi and orochimaru

Spoiler: Read me, chump

He must not have seen Orochimaru since he was 13 since thats when he gets his sharingan implanted

 

[Pika Hikari KT]

I knew it! I knew I recognized that voice! And Izzy's voice was used for that kid in the Bridge Builder's village. Heh, I also noticed Davis' voice in Rock Lee. And that makes me beg the question: did Viz dub Digimon?

Nope, that was Saban(Disney dubbed Frontier, and presumably will do Savers).

 

[BlindFear]

Shino is awesome, but there's a filler episode that ruins his awesomeness. =/

 

[Alphonse Elric]

Shino is awesome, but there's a filler episode that ruins his awesomeness. =/

You mean Episode 186, "The Laughing Shino"?

Oh yeah, that totally ruined his "Mysterious" image. Shino + Hysterical Laughing = BAD.

At least he kicked butt in that episode... :/

 

[whit19]

Shino is awesome, but there's a filler episode that ruins his awesomeness. =/

lol, I loved that episode and I don't think it ruinned his image cuz you ain't neva gon see him do that eva again.

Man, I thought Kakashi was gon fight Oro, but I guess not... well, on to the next preliminary matches. I can't wait to see some of Naruto and Sakura's matches. (I've only watched episodes 138-191 in japanese, so I ain't spoil the series for myself, unless you count fillers as spoilers and one other large event...)
