Talk:Naruto Uzumaki

Real life statue

@1989: @Flowerpiep: Apparently, Tetsuya Nishio's design inspired a life size statue of Naruto in his Part II form. Anybody thinks this is worth encyclopedic material? Source is here. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 21:47, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Unnecessary details

While this article is pretty good, it contains many statements that sounds like trivias, out of context, unrelated to previous sentences or speech, and irrilevant.This is especially serious in Creation and conception; the section has to talk about, well, the creation and the conception of Naruto character, that's all. It must not go into unnecessary details on what the author's opinion is, if it has no place in the paragraph and relevance for the production.

1. "Although Yahagi was not Kishimoto's editor for the entire serialization, he knew how the story was planned to show Naruto's coming-of-age through multiple fights and looked forward to seeing the conclusion". Not so bad, but the last part is quite superflous.
2. "Kishimoto's first editor, Kosuke Yahagi, praised the author for the way he handled Naruto's parents and his heritage". Does it matter?
3. "By 2013 when the series was reaching its climax, Kishimoto told the readers to look forward to the final fight between the two characters".
4. "Out of all the student-teacher relationships Kishimoto has created in the Naruto series, the bond between Naruto and Jiraiya is his favorite, noting that it makes drawing them "worthwhile"."
5. "Instead of having the protagonist kill the enemy he hates as happens in other series, Kishimoto found the idea of the two characters interacting and settling their differences more challenging"
6. "Of all his series' characters, Kishimoto most identified with Naruto". Meh.

In Design the sentence "Kishimoto apologized to the anime staff for Naruto's design, as he considered it too difficult to animate" must be a little reworded or deleted, since it's not so essential. Not so serious, through; you can rewrite it better.

1. "Nine years after first voicing the character, while still finding it tough to voice Naruto, Takeuchi's opinion of him changed with her feeling he was "a very reliable young man. She admired his ability to prioritize and calmly make important decisions, and believes these traits will inspire viewers worldwide". Is this info, especially the last sentence, encyclopedic? Does it matter, too?

The most critic section is "Critical reception".

1. "Naruto's character was analyzed by GameSpot's Joe Dodson who noted that despite having an "ideal" life, he still suffered from severe isolation"
2. "A study which looked at if readers could predict character types based on physical cues regarded Naruto as an ENFP (Myers-Briggs) character type, impulsive and spontaneous, finding a foil in the ISTJ-type Sasuke."
3. "Writing for Popular Culture in Counseling, Psychotherapy, and Play-Based Interventions, Lawrence Rubin states that while Naruto has an optimistic and hyperactive personality,….the type who accidentally becomes better during a series and is able to build or restore peace".
4. "Christopher A. Born, writing for DOAJ journal ASIANetwork Exchange, regards Naruto as a complex post-modern hero, ...and that Naruto himself unsettles harmony in society"
5. "Amy Plumb, a PhD candidate at Macquarie University, states that Kishimoto used the mythology of the kitsune for Naruto's development … Plumb describes the Kyuubi (Demon) seal on Naruto's stomach as a catalyst for how he develops". (BTW: quite obvious and apodictic)
6. "Franziska Ehmcke, professor of Japanese studies at Cologne University, theorized that Naruto was named after whirlpools of the sea landscape of the Awa no Naruto, and compared his behavior to that natural feature, as both figures have uncontrollable energy within them". Uhm?

These long, very long sentences do not speak of Reception. Reception is reception; analyses are analyses. They must be moved to a new section, something like Characterizations and themes. Are the files on the maelstrom and the information on the spirals really encyclopedic or informative, anyway? --TeenAngels1234 (aka Berserkelion) (talk) 10:49, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@1989: Pinging. I don't know about this. Some of these comments from the early posts you made are mentioned again like how Naruto and Sasuke's final battle ends with two suffering major wounds while interacting something like Kishimoto stated it was done in the same way as how Naruto confronted Nagato's ideals. The mention of Kishimoto's editors make sense since they are never mentioned again but the analysis is something that has been asked ever since the FA review in order to provide further commentary on the character. Nevertheless, I tried rewriting some parts based on your comments TeenAngels1234 (aka Berserkelion)Tintor2 (talk) 01:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Naruto was added to Fortnite Battle Royale in November of 2021, as an item shop outfit. 24.38.215.44 (talk) 18:04, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:32, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Somebody already added the Fortnite information in other media. Don't know if we should be more specific in regards to what he does it would count as wp:fancrut.Tintor2 (talk) 20:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Please change the less descriptive alt on the infobox to this:

"There are three Naruto Uzumakis, each differentiated by age wearing an orange jumpsuit while the adult design also wears a white cape with red flames at the bottom of it. For the Part I design, Naruto is smiling doing his signature clone hand seal by making a ‘plus' sign using the index and middle finger on each hand. For the Part II design, Naruto is leaning on top of young Narutos head with both arms while smiling and winking. For adult, Naruto has his hands on his teens self shoulders while smiling." 2603:301D:22B2:4000:BD0E:67B7:BEB6:9CC6 (talk) 22:46, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

That sounds way too detailed. How about "The three incarnations of the character Naruto Uzumaki together. They include the child at the bottom, the teenager in the middle, and the adult at the top"?Tintor2 (talk) 00:02, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

I guess that's fine. Also, on "manga and anime franchise Naruto", Naruto is supposed to be in italics. --2603:301D:22B2:4000:BD0E:67B7:BEB6:9CC6 (talk) 00:16, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Sorry I have internet issues. We'll have to leave to another editor. Also, since the primary media is the manga, the anime mention must be removed since Kishimoto didn't create it.Tintor2 (talk) 00:28, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

 Done. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 10:20, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Naruto's Powers, Skills, and Abilities

Hey guys, should we put some descriptions of Naruto's abilities, not just only him, but also for other characters from Naruto? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaeliaba (talk • contribs) 17:04, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Why would we list off other characters abilities on the Naruto character article? Sergecross73 msg me 18:11, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
