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 [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|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 15:
* [[Alternative Foreign Theme Song]]: The first opening theme for the English dub of ''[[Naruto]]'' was [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWx5EJWonmc this], but afterwards, all the theme songs were the original Japanese ones.
* [[Animated Actors]]: Some of the [[Omake]] segments have the characters as these.
* [[Animation Bump]]: Crops up from time to time in big fights. Examples include Sasuke vs. Orochimaru, Lee vs. Gaara, Naruto vs. Sasuke, some parts of Team 10 vs. Hidan and Kakuzu, {{spoiler|Sasuke vs. Killer Bee, Kakashi vs. Pain, Hinata vs. Pain, and the Kyuubi vs. Pain (which has quickly gained infamy amongst the fandom for its [[Off -Model]] art)}}.
** Arguably, the last three examples count as an ''inversion'' of this trope. Hence the infamy.
* [[Art Shift]]: In the anime, Juugo's initial flashback is drawn in a more abstract, undefined style.
Line 28:
*** The Elder Toad shown alongside the ''villains''.
*** {{spoiler|The revived Akatsuki zombies}} sliding into each other while their containers comedically topple in the background.
*** An out-of-nowhere dance routine featuring the Konoha rookies and the Sand Siblings, [[Disney Acid Sequence|while the adults are shown prancing about synchronously on a tropical beach]]. Even the [[Large and In Charge|4th Raikage]] and the [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!|3rd Tsuchikage]].
** The sixth Shippûden ending Features Sakura prominently, and makes the show look like it's a romance. While the previous one is ''only'' Hinata and makes it [[Mood Whiplash|look like]] a [[Slice of Life]]!
* [[Beat Still My Heart]]: In a [[Filler]] episode, a ninja impersonating Kabuto links her heart to Naruto's and then pulls it out, still beating.
Line 49:
** The best use of this trope can be seen in Shippuden's 6th OP. It's a must-watch for its sheer epicness.
* [[Gainaxing]]: Temari becomes unusually bouncy in one episode despite her breasts being perfectly stable in the rest of the series. Tsunade does so during the Pain arc (on low-angle shot!).
* [[God Was My Co -Pilot]] : Played straight for the audience and semi averted for Naruto himself in the 4th Shippuden Movie. The audience knows (or ought to know) that Naruto has inadvertently met the 4th from nearly the beginning. Naruto himself gets a few hints towards the very end of the film, but never puts two and two together (and gets mind wiped as a a result of time travel).
* [[Girl of the Week|Girl Of The Movie]]: Naruto gets one of these in the first, fourth, and fifth movies. While the first, Kazahana Koyuki, could arguably be a [[Jerkass]] [[Cool Big Sis|Big Sis]] role (the actress in the first movie is definitely subject of a one-sided crush), the same is not true for Shion (fourth movie) or Amaru (fifth movie). The writers are taking full advantage of Naruto hitting puberty over the time skip.
** Played with the [[Big Bad]] of the sixth movie and [[Ho Yay|Kakashi]].
Line 75:
* [[No Sell]]: In the Raiga filler arc, Neji's byakugan- an all-seeing eye passed down via generations of [[Superpoewrful Genetics]], the secrets of which Neji's father died to protect - is unable to locate a paraplegic kid in a backpack.
* [[Oddly Named Sequel]]: The anime adaptation of Part II, ''Naruto Shippuden''.
* [[Off -Model]]: Generally, it is seen in what were meant to be ''epic'' fights, such as the Valley of the End or {{spoiler|Naruto vs. Pain}}. That last one gave rise to episode 167, which includes [http://i48.tinypic.com/k0spr8.gif these] [http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/gabzylovescrack/1painlol.gif sequences]. [[Animation Bump]] + [[Filler]] padding apparently equals [[Looney Tunes]]. It's like watching Naruto on acid.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Several pieces of music in ''Shippudden'': ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux0Qnn2XEgM Akatsuki's theme]'', ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pkZ1xwFZdA Hidan's theme]'', and most recently the unearthly ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9z8t6k3liU Girei]'' which was used as a theme for the godlike Pain (and once for Tobi revealing himself as Madara).
* [[Ominous Pipe Organ]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keMcNo38fGA Orochimaru's theme]'' is the ''[[Toccata and Fugue In D Minor (Music)|Toccata and Fugue In D Minor]]'' ([[Older Than They Think|by Johannes Sebastian Bach]]) on a pipe organ, with some Asian flute, shamisen and electric guitar thrown in for good measure. The ''Fight'' version is that [[This Is Your Premise On Drugs|on steroids]]. The rest of the villains pretty much follow suit, each upping the ante with yet more unearthly chords and [[Ominous Latin Chanting]].
* [[Ondo]]
* [[One -Woman Wail]]: Used for great effect in ''Shippuden'' when Sasori dies. Also subverted at the middle of Orochimaru's theme: it's there but used for hypnotic and unsettling effect.
* [[Overtook the Manga]]: Resulted in an 85-episode stretch of [[Filler]] after the main events of Part 1, but got better in part 2. They now have the filler spread out more cautiously.
* [[Remember the New Guy]]: The anime pulls this with the random Hyuga guy guarding Hinata during the Pain arc. A whole series of flashbacks make him out as some sort of bodyguard that's constantly around, yet we've never seen him before now.
Line 90:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: The 13th ending of ''Shippuden''. Not the ending itself, but seeing as the arc that this ending plays trough [[Wham Episode|is probably the darkest moment of the series]], you would think that the animators knew exactly what they were getting into by putting [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk8kGyaTSC0 an insanely upbeat ending featuring Hinata happily riding a bicycle] after [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm0XfDXrv1o something like this.]
* [[Technicolor Toxin]]: In the anime, many poisonous jutsu and weapons are purple, including Shizune's venomous cloud and Sasori's blades.
* [[Theme Music Power -Up]]:
** In Part I, Naruto had several "commence recovery and ass-kicking" tunes. "''The Raising Fighting Spirit''" was the most common, but several were held in reserve for really stand-out occasions. To beat [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Neji]], Naruto had to bust out ''three'' of these in a row ("''Avenger''" followed immediately by "''Heavy Violence''" followed immediately by "''Strong and Strike''").
** Rock Lee has "''Utsukishi Aoi Yajuu''" (Beautiful Green Beast), which starts up every time it [[The Worf Effect|seems like]] he is going to win a battle.
Line 111:
* [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons]]: There seems to be a "Dragon Missile" technique for every element, which forms the element into a dragon shape appropriate to the element and then blasts the opponent. Turned [[Up to Eleven]] with the tenth anniversary game [[Meaningful Name|Ryujinki]], which compared to the main series, is ''entirely'' this. In game, while the bosses being dragons and Naruto's new [[Cool Sword]] are understandable given the theme, Naruto can use a dragon-shaped ''[[Beyond the Impossible|Rasengan]]''.
* [[OC Stand In]]: Hanabi (Hinata's younger sister) is often prominently featured in Hyuuga-centric fanfiction and her personality widely varies from story to story, given her lack of characterization. Also Tenten, who has absolutely no background (not even a family name).
* [[Spin -Off]]: ''Rock Lee's Springtime Of Youth'', a comical spin-off [[Captain Obvious|centered around Rock Lee]] is published in the Jump's monthly.
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: [http://naruto.wikia.com There's a wiki for that, too.]
