Naruto vs One Piece

In lieu of the AMAZING SUCCESS of The YGO vs. Pokemon series, Icehawk (and his extraordinarily large penis) decided to pursue another anime venture, in order to take a break from the more childish YGO/Pokemon series. The choice ended up being Naruto vs. One Piece. Icehawk watches the shows and compares them. He has never seen either show before.

EPISODE 1
I'M GONNA BE THE KING OF PIRATES!

Some pirate dude was about to be executed, but said all of his treasure was out there somewhere, so the age of PIRATES has begun as people race to go and get it. You know, what makes them pirates just because they are looking for treasure? Were the 49ers the land based equivalent of pirates? Of course not!

Is this show kinda old? The animation doesn't look that great. Not compared to Naruto anyway, which I've seen bits and pieces of.

Not a huge fan of the theme.

Theres some sailors on a ship, and they spot a PINK pirate ship that has ears on the sails. Badass! The pirates attack the ship and everyone freaks out!

Oh my god the pirate captain is disgusting ;_;. I thought for sure she would be hot! The pirates pull up alongside the ship and board. The captain is freaking scary! She has a huge iron club. Anyone who resists will be thrown into the ocean.

This cute little girl that was on the ship now takes off her clothes to reveal PIRATE WEAR. Cool. She boards the pink ship. No one appears to be on board, except one person! She owns him in the nuts I think.

Meanwhile, aboard the ship, the pirates find a wine barrel, but it... ACTUALLY HAS A KID IN IT. He accidentally owns one of the pirates when he wakes up from a "great nap". They draw swords on the kid. But he doesn't seem to care. They slash him... HE OWNS THEM BOTH. WUT? Their swords are cut in half. How? His name is Monkey D. Luffy. The pirates run away from him.

Luffy apparently is a pirate. Heh. His ship got sucked into a whirlpool. I think he wants a new one.

The pirates come back to Alvida and tell her about Luffy. She literally hits one off the deck with her iron club, badass.

Luffy is talking to some coward dude named Coby. He has pink hair >_>. He tells Coby he is going to be the pirate king. He's currently looking for a crew!

Apparently all pirates are after "One Piece". Anyway, now Luffy is going after a boat. Coby the Coward is now inspired by Luffy, he now wants to become a marine. ALVIDA COMES DOWN! She is pissed! Luffy says she's fat! NOW SHE'S SUPER PISSED! SHE ATTACKS! Dodge by Luffy. He jumps with Coby the Coward and escapes. He's like freaking Gumby, he's so lanky and agile. LOL He owns like 6 pirates but then a bunch come so he runs away... but now his arm is stretching... HE IS GUMBY! I knew it! The pirates freak out now and run.

He does "Gomu Gomu Rocket" or something like that to defeat them all. Now Alvida is talking to him. Apparently he ate some "Devil's fruit" or rubber fruit to become like this. After Coby pisses off Alvida some more, she attacks Luffy with her iron club. It hits him in the head! He isn't hurt! So can he not be defeated? That would lack drama big time, so I'm sure some weakness will be shown eventually. Now he does GOMU GOMU PISTOL and defeats Alvida pretty easily.

The marines now show up, so Luffy grabs a boat and runs. Coby is with him. He wants to join the marines, but since he has technically been a pirate for a while now, I guess he can't just yet. Augh, I really don't like Coby, does he have to stick around?

Now Luffy wants to build his crew. On the ship he heard about a pirate hunter named Zoro. He was captured by the Marines I guess. Luffy seems to want him as part of his crew before he heads to the Grand Line (or the Great Line, I missed it) for One Piece.

'''Overall: I actually quite enjoyed this. Luffy was badass, although I hope he isn't like invincible because that would suck. I think it'll be fun to watch as Luffy builds a crew and I assume gets a better ship. Anyway, good intro episode I would say! Thumbs up.'''

ENTER: NARUTO UZAMAKI!

A long time ago there was a demon fox with nine tails. To counter it, Ninjas fought. Wow, animations are AWESOME. One Ninja sealed the monster, the Fourth Hokage.

Now theres an image of a baby... and now Naruto enters the screen. He vandalized the statues of the Hokages. Which look a lot like Mount Rushmore >_>. Suspiciously so in fact! IDEA STEALERS!

Naruto gets caught by Iruka. I guess Naruto is skipping class for this. He is now in classs... tied up >_>. They are practicing transformation techniques before the final exams. They have to make themselves look like the teacher. Naruto makes himself look like... a naked girl. Hahaha. Awesome. IRUKA IS UPSET!

Now Naruto is cleaning up the statues. He doesn't care because he has no one at home waiting for him anyway. Iruka appears to feel sorry for him and offers to treat him to Ramen after he cleans up the statues.

Naruto apparently thinks he will be greater than any of the Hokage, I guess thats why he vandalized them. In reality, he thought it was a cheap ripoff of Rushmore!

Naruto's final exam is now. This is so he can become a real ninja. The subject is the replication technique, which naruto apparently isn't good at. He goes for it in front of the judges... AND FAILS! Awww man.

The other judge seems to want to pass him, almost out of pity, but Iruka will not allow it. Naruto is upset, and listens to everyone else proud of being a ninja. No one else seems to like Naruto very much, they are glad he didn't pass as a ninja. Awww...

One of the judges talks to Naruto now. He offers to tell Naruto a big secret.

Also, a guy with a crazy hat talked to Iruka. He says that they both grew up without parents (Naruto and Iruka). It seems Iruka's parents were taken from him in the battle with the fox.

In the middle of the night, one of the judges wakes up Iruka. He tells him to go to the Hokage's (I assume thats the leader guy). Naruto stole a scroll of sealing.

Naruto has it in the woods. He's reading up on Multiple Shadow replication. Apparently this scroll was sealed by the first hokage. The leader Hokage tells them to bring Naruto here.

Ahh! It seems the one judge is actually a bad guy. he wants to kill Naruto and steal the scroll that Naruto got for him.

Meanwhile, Iruka finds Naruto. Naruto says he only learned one technique so far. Naruto says that Mizuki told him that if he learns techniques from the scroll, he can graduate. Iruka now realizes that Mizuki is a traitor. Just as he realizes this... NUNCHUCKS! Iruki gets nailed by a bunch of them. Mizuki wants the scroll. Iruka tells him that the scroll is dangerous and not to hand it over.

Mizkuki now is going to tell Naruto something. Iruka seems upset. Naruto IS THE NINE TAILED FOX. The fox was sealed into Naruto! Naruto was deceived by everyone. Thats why everyone hates him so much.

Now Mizuki is going to Kill Naruto, he throws a huge blade thing at him... AND IRUKA TAKES IT FOR HIM. Whoa. Naruto doesn't understand. Iruka says they are the same. He grew up without parents too and did the same things as Naruto. He understands that naruto was lonely. He's sorry for not recognizing it earlier. Mizuki says Iruka is lying, he hates him for killing his parents.

Naruto now runs away. Mizuki says he is going to go take revenge on the village. Iruka says thats not true... HE PULLS THE BLADE FROM HIS BACK! AND THROWS IT AT MIZUKI! AWESOME! Mizuki dodges easily. Mizuki now runs off to get Naruto.

The Hokage meanwhile is watching all of this from a ball. He says Naruto could become unsealed and turn into the fox. Meanwhile Naruto is TREE LEAPING. Iruka shows up (how did he manage to get to Naruto first). NARUTO ATTACKS HIM. Whoa. Why would he do that? AHA! It wasn't Iruka! It was Mizuki! Naruto knew! Nice. WAIT, IT WASN'T NARUTO! IT WAS IRUKA! lol the replacement technique means lots of epic hijinx. Meanwhile, Naruto is hiding nearby with the scroll. He overhears Iruka talking about what a good kid he is, and that he's not the fox. This touches Naruto and he cries.

Now Mizuki takes out his huge star and gets ready to finish off Iruka. NARUTO ARRIVES! HE KICKS MIZUKI! **** YEAH! **** YEAH! PISSED NARUTO! HE THREATENS TO KILL MIZUKI! HE'S BADASS AS HELL NOW. NARUTO USES SHADOW REPLICATION! THOUSANDS OF NARUTOS! UNBELIEVABLE!

Mizuki is OWNED. HELL YEAH. Iruka now gives Naruto a ninja headband. Cool!

'''Overall: Wow, I really enjoyed this one a lot. The animation here is superb, the fight scenes were short but totally awesome. I really like the plotline, and I thought this was an incredibly dramatic episode, especially considering it was the first ever episode of the show. Very impressive, I'm also liking all the characters thus far, great stuff!'''

NARUTO VS. ONE PIECE EPISODE 1

Wow. I'm already very pleased that I started this project, as I had a great time watching both first episodes. One Piece was very solid and has a lot of potential, but Naruto flat out blew me away, I don't think a first episode of an anime can get much better than that, high drama and character development, as well as great action. Naruto takes this one.

And my writeups were incredibly long. I'm not sure if it's because I'm feeling out the shows still or if it's because unlike Pokemon and YGO, interesting stuff is happening all the time >_>. We'll see I suppose.

Naruto: 1

One Piece: 0

EPISODE 2
'''RORONOA ZORO: PIRATE HUNTER

So I guess Luffy does indeed go for Zoro right away. Awesome.

Yep, they are on their way to a marine base to find Zoro. He hungers for blood. He is a demon in human form. Luffy plans on deciding if he is a good guy before letting him join the crew. Luffy tells Coby he can join the marines here too. Coby doesn't think he is ready. he says there is a CAPTAIN MORGAN on the island though. REALLY? CAPTAIN MORGAN? The names of Zoro and Morgan freak out the town. Interesting.

Luffy peaks over the wall and sees Zoro out in the open, tied up to a cross or something. As they are watching, a girl runs to Zoro from over the wall. She gives him some food. Zoro is an ass to her though.

Now a weird ass guy appears. HE TAKES HER FOOD! He doesn't like it so he stomps on the other one! Awwww, she cries! SHE TRIED TO MAKE IT WITH ALL HER HEART DAMN IT! Now he shows her a flyer that says anyone who helps the criminal will be executed. Apparently he is CAPTAIN MORGAN's son. He forces a marine to "throw" her outside. The marine is upset at this. He literally throws her over the wall, but Luffy grabs her with his SUPER STRETCHY ARMS! Zoro is pissed at Morgan.

Now Luffy talks to Zoro. He says he would have escaped in three days. Zoro wants to survive and not escape to "show them" something. He now eats the food that was stomped into the dirt that the girl made, he says it's delicious.

The girl tells Luffy that it is her fault that Zoro is in jail, and that he isn't a bad guy. Morgan's son brought some fox into town, and it was eating a bunch of food and wrecking stuff. Rika, the girl, tried to stop it. The Fox attacked and Zoro protected her, and then beat the living crap out of Morgan's son (awesome). Zoro is officially "cool" in my book. In order to protect the family from being executed by Morgan, Zoro went to jail in their place. He will be set free if he survives for a month. So that's why he won't escape, to protect them.

It has now been 3 weeks. Morgan's son tortures Zoro while he is tied up. Now Morgan's son goes to the restaurant and says he is eating for free. he is a first class ass. That girl from episode 1 is also here in the restaurant. Morgan's son says he is executing Zoro tomorrow. Luffy gets PISSED and hits him. Luffy says Zoro will join him in his crew! Morgan's son wants to tell daddy so Luffy gets executed. And he does that. We get a brief intro to Morgan and he seems like an ass too.

Luffy now meets up with Zoro again and says he is going to free him and they will be comrades. Zoro says pirates are scum. He refuses. Luffy is oblivious to his refusal. He says he is going to go in the base and get his weapons back, and then they will be comrades... hahah.

We finally get introduced to Morgan. He is making the marines hoist up a huge statue of himself. Morgan's son is upset that he isn't getting revenge for him, but Morgan says he is worthless... haha. One of Morgan's hands has an axe implanted on it btw >_>.

Now Morgan gets pissed at his son for not having the little girl who ran to help Zoro executed, whoa. He orders a marine to finish the job. The marine refuses, so he HITS HIM WITH HIS AXE. whoa. Man, Morgan is a total ass. Lawl, now Luffy uses his arms to get to the top of the base, and ruins that huge statue. MORGAN IS NOT PLEASED!!!

Luffy takes Morgan's son and runs to find the sword. Also, someone has once again appeared on the execution field. ALSO, that girl is in the base.

COBY is the one freeing Zoro. Whoa, he tells Zoro everything. And he wants Zoro to help Luffy escape. Now MORGAN appears on the field, and is going to kill both of them. This should be good. Guns are pointed at them. They are about to fire... Zoro is thinking about a girl from his past... it kinda looks like the girl that keeps showing up.

Anyway, Luffy sees whats going on and uses Gomu Gomu Rocket to get to the ground fast. He takes the bullets and they bounce right off him! And that ends the episode.

'''Overall: Zoro is awesome, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of him. I am also looking forward to what will most likely be the first "big" fight of the series, with Morgan vs. Luffy or Morgan vs. Zoro. This episode was pretty good in its own right. While I think a lot of it was building to the next ep, it had some good character development and some interesting stuff happen, another thumbs up.'''

MY NAME IS KONOHAMARU! Naruto is sitting in what I assume is something like the Grand Hokage's office when a kid shows up, his name is konohamaru. He seems to be... hyperactive. And he has the same dream as Naruto of being a Hokage it seems. Konohamaru's bodyguard or teacher or something runs in now. They hint that like Mizuki, he is secretly evil.

LOL, apparently its the grandson of the Hokage... but Naruto gets pissed and hits him anyway, awesome. Also, the teachers name is Ebisu. Konohamaru runs off to find Naruto now. He's following him, all sneaky like... except Naruto obviously knows. He calls him out... Konohamaru wants to be Naruto's follower! He also wants to learn the temptation technique that KOed the Hokage >___>.

So now Naruto is out teaching him stuff. Kono tries to transform into a hot babe, but comes out all fat and gross. Now they sneak into a store and check out babes in magazines. Basically, they keep getting into trouble while they practice, but Naruto gets beat up and Kono doesn't. Kono feels bad about his special treatment.

Meanwhile, Ebitsu is all pissed looking for Kono. He says any bugs that attach themselves to his pupils will be EXTERMINATED. Well then.

It turns out Kono is upset because everyone calls him the grandson of a Hokage and not by his name. So thats why he wants to be a Hokage now.

Ikaru and the Third Hokage now have a conversation about Naruto. He says the Fourth Hokage wanted Naruto to be seen as a hero. He wishes the other adults in the village saw him that way.

Meanwhile Ebitsu has found Naruto and Kono. Ebitsu seems to hate Naruto for being the nine-tailed fox. KONO USES THE SEDUCTION TECHNIQUE! Ebitsu is upset that he learned that technique, haha.

Now Naruto uses Shadow Replication! Ebitsu isn't scared, he says he is stronger than Mizuki. The third Hokage is watching all this too from his ball. LOL, now all the Narutos use the temptation technique to own Ebitsu, haha awesome.

Naruto now gives Kono a little speech on becoming Hokage. Kono quits being Naruto's follower and says they are now rivals. Naruto says one day they will fight for the title of Hokage... ha.

'''Overall: Pretty weak episode inbetween Naruto becoming a ninja. Kono isn't a particularly compelling character, and outside of learning a bit more about Naruto and how the village views him, not much interesting. Thumbs slightly down.'''

NARUTO VS. ONE PIECE EPISODE 2

Pretty easy one. One Piece was interesting and going somewhere, while Naruto was a just kind of there episode. One Piece by a mile.

Naruto: 1

One Piece: 1

EPISODE 3
'''MORGAN VERSUS LUFFY! WHO'S THE MYSTERIOUS PRETTY GIRL?'''

Went with the japenese translation title this time.

Luffy once again blocks the bullets! Morgan calls him straw hat, which is awesome. Luffy now has a casual conversation with Zoro about his goal to be a pirate king, and he hands over Zoro's swords... all 3 are his! Cool! Meanwhile, the marines are still sitting there >_>.

Zoro now agrees to join Luffy! YESSSS.

Morgan now talks about the devil's fruits, and the rumors about the powers they bring, and how the secret lies in the Grand Line. Ahh, so thats what they are. So Luffy ate one of these to become a rubber man. I assume we will eventually come across others with devil's fruit powas. Morgan now orders the marines to attack with swords... they run at them... Luffy can't untie Zoro's knot >_>. Zoro now gets his swords, and fends off the attackers! So Zoro holds one of his swords with his MOUTH. Insane! While defending the marines attacks, Zoro and Luffy talk about Zoro's ambitions. He wants to be the greatest swordsman of all time, and if Luffy gets in the way of that, he will kill him. Now Lufffy owns all the marines with a RUBBER KICK.

Things are getting good now, Luffy runs in with a punch to Morgan, but he blocks it with his hand that is actually an axe. Luffy dodges a few attacks and now is beating the **** out of Morgan!

Morgan: DIE!

Luffy: Don't wanna!

Haha, he's so cool. So now he has Morgan on the ground and he's punching him, but MORGAN'S SON arrives. He has a gun to Coby's head! Luffy just... smiles >_>. Coby is actually being brave too. He says he refuses to interfere with Luffy's dream, even if he dies.

Now Morgan is back up! He is behind Luffy, but luffy doesn't seem to care. He uses Gomu pistol to knock out Morgan's son, he also takes an axe to the back of the head, but is unaffected. Meanwhile, Zoro slashes Morgan from behind. The marines celebrate.

Meanwhile the girl is in the base, uhh stealing stuff I guess.

Haha, they are celebrating in that restaurant.

Girl: You were amazing back there!

Luffy: Yeah, I'm great!

XD, Zoro is a little thrown off that Luffy has no crew and a super small ship. Luffy says they are now off to the Grand Line. Coby says that is impossible, it is the graveyard for pirates, with only 2 people, they are SCREWED. Now the marines show up, and say that while they are grateful, they must leave town since they are pirates. They won't contact headquarters.

Now the marines ask Coby if he is with them. Luffy says that Coby served under a pirate for two years, HAHAHA. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. COBY PUNCHES LUFFY! THEY ARE FIGHTING! The marine says it's clear Coby isn't with them. Nice. Coby realizes that Luffy helped him once again, he feels weak. He now says he wants to become a Marine... one of the marines is against it, but Coby looks intense as hell. He sincerely wants to be a marine.

The captain seems to like him though, and he lets him join! Now all the marines wish Luffy goodbye with a salute. The captain says that Coby has a great friend in Luffy, ha awesome.

Apparently Luffy made a vow to someone to become the pirate king.

'''Overall: I really liked this. The fight wasn't that great, but the character development and plot progression was cool. I even liked Coby at the end there. Very good ep.'''

SASUKE AND SAKURA: FRIENDS OR FOES?

We get a glimpse of Naruto preparing himself in the morning. It's actually pretty interesting to watch, it gives insight into his life all alone.

Naruto is on his way to an "explanatory" meeting, whatever that is. We get short intros to Sakura and Sasuke, who are in the episode title! Sakura is a pink-haired girl, who seems... girly. Sasuke seems like your stereoptypical loner "badass" lawl that all the chicks dig even though he has no interest in any of them. Apparently Sasuke is the #1 rookie.

WTF! LOL. NARUTO AND SASUKE ARE HAVING A STARE DOWN AND ACCIDENTALLY KISS EACH OTHER! HOLY CRAP! LOL. HOMOPHOBIA! HOMOPHOBIA!

The ninjas will be split into teams of three under one "Jounin" master dude.

Naruto's group is NARUTO, SAKURA, AND SASUKE! lawl. Sasuke had the top scores for all the graduating ninjas, and naruto had the lowest, which is why they are teaming up. Sakura must be average then.

Aww, Naruto wants to eat with Sakura but gets shut down, as she searches for Sasuke. Poor Naruto!

Naruto now has a plan. We see him sneaking up on Sasuke and ATTACKING, but he gets owned. Now we see Sasuke hitting on Sakura. He asks what she thinks of Naruto, and she says that Naruto is annoying and doesn't understand her. Now we cut to SASUKE. WHAT? Sasuke actually got defeated by Naruto! So Sasuke talking to Sakura must be Naruto. heh. Nice.

So Sakura is about to kiss "Sasuke" when... NARUTO GETS DIARREAH! He runs away to the bathroom, lawl. His new plan while he is on the john is to act like an evil Sasuke to make Sakura hate Sasuke. As Sakura is sitting there, "Sasuke" walks by. he asks where Naruto is. Sakura says that doesn't matter and starts bashing him for having no parents. "Sasuke" gets mad and says that you can't even compare the solitude to the level of where your parents get mad at you... he calls her annoying. Wow, she deserves that, **** that *****.

WAIT WHAT. NARUTO IS STILL WIPING HIS ASS. So that was the real Sasuke talking to Sakura eh? Interesting... very interesting. Naruto leaves the bathroom and finds SASUKE. he goes to attack using shadow replication, but they all get diarreah aagain and run to the bathroom >____>. Meanwhile, Sakura decides to be nicer to Naruto.

The third Hokage and some other ninja are now in Naruto's house... he's beem using expired milk! Thats why he has to keep pooping!

'''Overall: Hmm, it was Ok I suppose. Sasuke is interesting, and now we have our groups, but overall the episode seemed a bit pointless, Thumbs in the middle, leaning down.'''

Naruto vs. One Piece EPISODE 3

Pretty simple one here. One Piece had a great episode and is going somewhere, Naruto didn't really go anywhere and wasn't that great. One Piece takes it easy.

One Piece: 2

Naruto: 1

EPISODE 4
'''LUFFY'S PAST! ENTER RED-HAIRED SHANKS!'''

Luffy's past was hinted at last ep, this should be good, I'm looking forward to it.

To start some pirates (who mention "Buggy" some feared pirate captain) stumble across a girl on a boat, it's the same girl we keep seeing. She says she needs water, she offers all her treasure for them to save her. They go to check on the treasure and.... SHE STEALS THEIR BOAT! OWNED!

Meanwhile... Luffy is hungry and has no idea where he's going. He doesn't know how to navigate it seems >_>. His hat blows off in the wind and he starts thinking about its previous owner, Shanks.

Luffy remembers a time when a bandit picked on Shanks, but Shanks was totally laid back and didn't fight back. Luffy was a kid and didn't understand it at all. He got mad and ate a fruit, it was the devil's fruit. Now he's rubber and can't swim. Shanks was angry obviously.

It looks like later on the bandits were insulting Shanks crew some more so Luffy got really mad. I guess the bandit isn't going to let Luffy live. He pulls his sword and gets ready to kill when SHANKS and his crew arrive. Shanks steps forward and a bandit puts a gun to his head... BUT ONE OF SHANKS MEN BLOWS THE BANDITS HEAD OFF... WHILE EATING CHICKEN!

Now one of the pirates beat the hell out of all the bandits except for the leader. He throws a smoke bomb and escapes with Luffy though to the sea. He throws Luffy in the sea, NO HES RUBBER NOW HE CAN'T SWIM! After he does that.. some DRAGON eats the bandit? WTF? Shanks makes the thing run away though once he shows up. But Shanks arm gets cut off in the process. Luffy is upset, but Shanks is totally calm and unaffected. Luffy obviously got a lot of his personality from Shanks.

As Shanks and crew are leaving town, Luffy says he is going to gather a crew to beat his, and he will become the pirate king. Thats when Shanks gives his straw hat to Luffy. Awesome. He hopes Luffy returns it to him one day as a great pirate.

LOL, so Luffy gets uhh, his head inside of a bird in the air that he was trying to catch. Zoro chases after him in the boat, when the pirates of Buggy the Clwon come aboard, they threaten Zoro... but then they realize who he is and start paddling the boat for him. Awesome. Zoro rules! Zoro asks about Buggy the Clown. Apparently he ate a devil's fruit. Interesting.

Meanwhile, Luffy ends up landing on an island where it looks like Buggy is. The girl is there too.

'''Overall: This episode was all about SHANKS. Shanks is the freaking man, and I really hope we see him again someday. I feel like Chris megahyped this episode, and while I enjoyed it a lot, I don't think it was THAT amazing, but thumbs up for sure.'''

PASS OR FAIL: SURVIVAL TEST

Since I don't think I've commented on it, I like the Naruto theme a pretty good amount. Above average. Nothing will ever be better than Record Of Lodoss War's theme though.

So Naruto and crew are waiting for their Jounin to arrive, but he is late. Naruto gets annoyed and sets up a TRAP using an eraser... and when the guy arrives he falls for it! lol. Sasuke wonders if this guy is a joke for falling for such a cheap trick.

'''Ninja: My first impression of this group... you're a bunch of idiots'''

Haw Haw. Not sure what I think of this guy, he looks kinda weird, but cool at the same time. Now they are going to introduce themselves, names, stuff they like, stuff they hate. Naruto wants him to go first. His name is Kakashi (Ohhhh so thats where shoe gets his name from!). He doesn't feel like telling them the stuff he likes and hates, haha, awesome. I like this guy.

Naruto's hobbies revolve around ramen, Sakura's around Sasuke (she sucks), and Sasuke's around... nothing. He hates a lot of things. His dream is to restore his clan and destroy a certain someone... wel then... awkward silence. They HAVE mentioned that he is a lone survivor of some clan or something. Kakashi expected this apparently. They will have a survival test tomorrow. Kakashi decides if they pass or fail. If they fail, they go back to the academy. On average, only 9/27 graduates make it to become "Genin", which I assume is the next ninja level.

The next morning they arrive at 5AM, but Kakashi is way late... because a black cat crossed his path. LOL. The test is they have to take some bells from Kakashi, if they don't get them, they don't get lunch. Also, there's only 2 bells, so one person is guaranteed to fail at least. PLEASE BE SAKURA.

Naruto attacks right away, he is pleased that Naruto came at him with the full intention of killing him. He's starting to like them!

Now we cut to Iruka and the third Hokage talking. Iruka is concerned about Naruto being under Kakashi. He's heard some things about his training style. The Hokage gives him a book with every student that has been under Kakashi, all who have passed and failed. Iruka looks stunned when he looks at it.

Meanwhile, while Naruto is attacking Kakashi, he is reading a book. He pokes Naruto in the... butthole >_>. WTF. Kakashi is countering EVERYTHING they throw at him.

Iruka and Hokage again... NO ONE HAS EVER PASSED KAKASHI'S TESTS. whoa.

Naruto makes another epic attempt to get the bells... and with the shadow clone thing almost succeeds, but Kakashi is still too good. Now Naruto, sees a bell on the ground, but it leads to a trap. While Naruto is tied up in a tree, kakashi seems to have his guard down, Sasuke sees his opening and throws a bunch of Shurikens at Kakashi... AND NAILS HIM IN THE HEAD! KAKASHI IS DOWN! And the episode ends.

'''Overall: Very interesting. Kakashi is as fascinating guy. We had some plot progression, some fun action scenes, and I really liked this episode. If I had to pick a flaw I'd say Naruto getting owned so easily got a little old, but overall, great stuff.'''

Naruto vs. One Piece EPISODE 4

Ohhhh this is really tough. If I were to judge these episodes solely by the new characters introduced, I'd say Shanks > Kakashi and give it to One Piece, but as much as I enjoyed the flashback, I liked the plot progression in Naruto even more, and for right now, Naruto episode 4 made me look forward to the next episode more than One Piece did, so I give the edge to Naruto.

Naruto: 2

One Piece: 2
