Line 2:
There are [[Trope Overdosed|so many tropes]] in ''[[Naruto]]'' that we had to split its trope page. This one is for the tropes specific to other media than the manga itself, especially the anime.
 
''Here be spoilers. Anything that has not been aired on the free version<ref>one week after the paid version</ref> of [https://web.archive.org/web/20100507134209/http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Naruto_Shippuden Crunchyroll] should be spoiler-tagged.''

Line 9:
** Shikamaru's reaction to Asuma's death is dealt with in much more detail.
** Temari's fight against Tenten in the manga is only shown off-panel, and she does not confront Sasuke at all. In the anime we get to actually see Temari [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomping]] Tenten, and later trying in vain to delay Sasuke.
** If you have to name the character who [[Adaptational Badass|got the most mileage]] out of this, it's probably Hinata. In the manga you'd be hard-pressed to find her enjoying even a single fleeting moment of triumph. In the Anime she's learned a [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|Big Lipped Alligator Jutsu]] involving a [[Eleventy-Zillion|gazillion]] laser beams, landed solid hits on seemingly undefeatable villains and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|won a ramen eating contest]]. The anime team aren't bothering to hide their fondness of her (they even spent an omake on [[Lampshading]] it).
** Iruka had his moments, too. The Mizuki Strikes Back arc is the greatest thing to happen for Iruka fans since he stood up to Kakashi before the Chuunin exams. It also shows off his power and intelligence, stopping fans of the series from wondering just how he became a Chuunin, because up until then we ''basically never see him fight.''
* [[Adaptation-Induced Plothole]]: Episode 166 of ''Shippûden''. Hey, why is Hinata charging head-on when that's the ''least'' likely strategy to work? What happened to the [[Forgotten Phlebotinum|insane barrage of chakra lasers]] from [[Filler|the 1st series' episode 151]]?
Line 45:
* [[Eat the Dog|Eat The Summoning Toad]]: With all the supplies contaminated by poisonous mushrooms, Naruto resorts to trying to eat Gamatatsu. This fails hilariously, but then he remembers that he can also use summoning to get fresh supplies from Mt. Myoboku.
* [[Dub-Induced Plot Hole]]: "U-zu-ma-ki! Naruto Rendan!" was translated as "Na-ru-to! Uzumaki Barrage!" The purpose of this attack in the first place was for it to be in sync with his last name, thus four upward kicks. Because the dub reversed his last and first name for this attack, the first kick either comes out with something akin to a "Ha!" or nothing at all, making the first kick useless for the dub in what the original intention of it was.
* [[Filler]]: Before the [[Time Skip]], filler made up 38% of the entire series, including 85 episodes in a row. These mostly consisted of various examples of [[Defeat Means Friendship]], fights against blatant [[Filler Villain|Filler Villains]]s and several one-shots of slapstick/potty humor, all with no plot relevance; by the end it was being described by fans as a form of torture. Thankfully Shippuuden has taken to spreading out the filler arcs, probably to keep this from happening ever again. There's also clearly been a shift from three episode pointlessness to [[Adaptation Expansion]] (The Ninja Guardians arc featured an expanded backstory for a character who probably wasn't going to get another chance to have one; the Three Tails arc created a story arc of 22 episodes out of an event that took all of half an issue in the manga).
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Done in, of all things, the opening sequences. For example, in the second opening you see Sakura with long hair except a couple of brief shots taking place after her [[Important Haircut]]. In the third opening there is a shot of Sasuke running zoomed into his face, and a lightning bolt very briefly appears near him, which is him using Chidori.
** The best use of this trope can be seen in Shippuden's 6th OP. It's a must-watch for its sheer epicness.
Line 59:
* [[Inaction Sequence]]
* [[Kabuki Sounds]]
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The introduction music for season 1 of Shippuden is a bit ''too'' triumphant in declaring that now the series proper can get back on track (with an implied "as opposed to endless filler"). One translation even went ahead and translated a line to "no more doing the same thing over and over" (the "same thing" being encountering [[Filler Villain|Filler Villains]]s, flinging rasengans, failing the plot-of-the-day to locate Sasuke...), though it's unclear how close that is to the meaning of the original.
** The [[Omake]] to shippuden episode 165 consists of Sakura scolding Hinata over the then-current credits animation which consisted of ~10 year old Hinata pedaling a bicycle up a mountain to the tune of a [[Tastes Like Diabetes|super cheery fun pop song]]. Sakura is outraged that Hinata, a mere extra, is hogging the credits all to herself, and further points out that as a ninja Hinata should be running and not riding bicycles. Naruto then explains that it can't be helped- [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|the production staff had been overrun with Hinata fans]] and every other word in the song is "bicycle" or "pedal", so they hardly could have ''not'' put her on a bicycle. Sakura would have none of this and demands to have an ending all to herself, [[Foreshadowing|which she, funnily enough, gets two episodes later]].
** In a filler episode, Naruto lampshades the overuse of super-powerful ninja techniques for mundane tasks, which was a regular feature of the pre-Shippuden fillers. The said episode has Jiraiya using a Rasengan to ''row a boat''.
