The Most Iconic Naruto Scene According To Fans
By Mia Tucker
In the "Naruto" subreddit, one fan called u/Arrioso made a post celebrating the show's longevity by talking about one of their favorite moments. The moment in question is from Episode 163 of "Naruto: Shippuden," and it shows Naruto as he appears on the edge of a village that the character Pain has laid waste to. The reason the scene is so iconic is that Naruto appears atop a great toad (a powerful, summonable beast), who's atop another, even bigger toad. The visual is both grand and hilarious in the face of a massacre.
The comments were full of "Naruto" fans celebrating the memorable scene. U/Thorn0427 went as far as to suggest it might be the most iconic scene throughout the whole series. U/cMk added that they wished that Naruto got to keep the flowing cape he wears in the episode, which makes everything look just a little bit more dramatic. While nearly everyone agreed with u/Arrioso, u/roxicod0ne offered another moment for the number one spot. "I'll never forget when Lee drops them weights," they said. Considering how their comment was the most upvoted in the thread, it's certainly a popular opinion.
Perhaps the most interesting thing here is how cordial the entire thread was. "Naruto" fans know how to share their joy and keep it joyful, even when the moment in question leads up to something heartbreaking.
