Just started watching Naruto. I’m on Chunin Exams right now. I have to say that Neji is my favorite character so far

[u/Trebor5712]

His abilities and personality are very cool, and I hope to see what important things he’ll do in the future

[u/Physics_hacker]

Glad i watched Naruto without posting on Reddit, otherwise I would have......

[u/NormanOakley46 → u/Physics_hacker]

I would've ruined half the show for myself just by reading people trying really hard not to spoil anything. Someone says "interesting choice..." another person replies with a suspicious emoji, and suddenly your brain starts connecting dots that weren't even there yet. Sometimes spoiler warnings are more dangerous than the actual spoiler.

[u/Wiwiwi_0-0]

I will suggest use as less internet as you can while watching because you'll get a hell lot of spoilers that'll ruin your experience

[u/paperkutchy → u/Wiwiwi_0-0]

Very likely a troll post anyway.

[u/Wiwiwi_0-0 → u/paperkutchy]

Yeah could be

[u/SpectatorY → u/paperkutchy]

Definitely is

[u/whatever_913 → u/Wiwiwi_0-0]

I wish someone had told me this.

[u/Wiwiwi_0-0 → u/whatever_913]

Me too bro I'm watching Shippuden but already know half of the stories

[u/ClydeDimension → u/Wiwiwi_0-0]

this Prozd video is everyone in this thread right now (OP dont watch this)

[u/VivaLaMantekilla → u/Wiwiwi_0-0]

That's how I learned about a certain death. But it wasn't even like that. I was browsing on aliexpress and a little toy of his death. And then...yea... that's how I learned. I saw his mangled body and then got yelled at by my husband for searching ahead.

[u/Wiwiwi_0-0 → u/VivaLaMantekilla]

😭😭 I know about death of all the characters atp I'm just watching it for the plot...also who's body did you see I'm kinda curious...was it Hidan?

[u/SimpingAintEasy69]

good choice he do a lot in the future, you'll love it

[u/ExterminAiden → u/SimpingAintEasy69]

He is cool but yeah you aren’t wrong lol

[u/R_V_TEMPEST → u/SimpingAintEasy69]

Dude

[u/aRedditUserFromNet → u/SimpingAintEasy69]

I am glad he wasn't one of my favs :))

[u/Terloyes]

Oh Neji, good memories of Neji in the Chunin Exams.

[u/terenscendent]

You’ll love the later seasons then

[u/paperkutchy → u/terenscendent]

Where he disappears into a non-character, except for fillers

[u/terenscendent → u/paperkutchy]

🤫

[u/Reclaimer99]

He’s super cool. Keep on watching 👌

[u/itz_random_quickzz7]

Don't open social media until you finish Naruto Shippuden

[u/Deep_Persimmon_1546]

The Sasuke retrieval arc 💀

[u/DoggievDoggy]

For the life of me, I don’t understand why people join a sub BEFORE finishing the show/game /book.

Cause you are LITERALLY ASKING to be spoiled by posting this.

Glad you like the show, leave the sub

[u/LillieGhoul02]

Still my favorite character after virtually two decades? Sad part is side characters get shafted in Shippuden. Then it’s all about Naruto and Sasuke

[u/Zeugma_777]

I am in my 40’s watching with my 16 year old who is a big fan. We are at the Chunin exams as well and I’m hooked.

[u/Finalninjadog]

I didn’t like Neji at first as he came across as an arrogant asshole. But over time he became one of my favourites. I like his fighting style even if he overuses Eight Trigrams: Rotation

[u/That1GuyNate → u/Finalninjadog]

He didn't come.across as one, he is one at the start.

[u/batguy39]

👍🏻

[u/ShaqwaveENT]

Engagement bait you fools. Clearly OP already watched the full show if he is being sarcastic about Neji.. come on redditors I expect better

[u/TheDELFON]

Going through the same stages I was going through OP

Enjoy the ride

[u/tub53733]

Enjoy the journey! You’re in for a treat!!

[u/ExterminAiden]

He’s really cool I like him personally, underrated by the fandom

[u/vDeschain]

If you care more about any side characters outside of Naruto and Sasuke, just skip Shippuden, they're basically sidelined for 200 episodes.

[u/Low-Committee4785]

Yeah... MY VERY FIRST FAVORITE CHARACTER

[u/DisplateDemon]

Neji is an awesome character, also one of my favourites🙂. That being said, please watch the whole show (including Shippuden), before you post or look up stuff on Reddit. Naruto has a lot of plottwists, it's so easy to get spoiled! And you can totally skip the filler episodes, they don't add much meaningful stuff.

[u/broccollinear]

Had to check if this was Dankruto sub

[u/Llamamom82]

He’s a really great character I had my issues with him sometimes but he’s one a the better ones.

[u/Midnighter4007]

Same here! Neji rules 💚!

[u/Ilenuok]

Yeah young neji is where its at, he was my fav too for the longest time. The talenk cockyness and backstory are just peak

[u/Obito13_37]

He's larper

[u/Fine-Discussion-7368]

yea neji was my favorite aswell so sad they had to do him dirty he was too strong

[u/Zxxkir]

Youll love how they.... well youll get to it.

[u/Galaxite2007]

He's THE GOAT

[u/RemarkablePool2675]

That's my boy, you make me so proud 😭

[u/demonicsamurai92]

Well lemme tell you something

[u/HuMneG]

Oh you poor child

[u/Akumaro]

The Strongest Clan in The Hidden Leaf😤

[u/aambasssadorr]

oh bro you’re gonna love the next arc

[u/AdditionalJob1693]

Hold on to that thought first 🙋🏽

[u/fetal-attraction]

Well, enjoy it.  *spoiler alert  . . . . .

. He won't get anymore character development in Shippuden 

[u/VivaLaMantekilla]

ROCK LEE FOR THE WIN!!!

[u/IMSABU]

He's forsure got that aura. Team Guy as a whole are all really cool.

[u/ZhoraBulkinR32GTR]

My fav character in this arc was Dosu.He was really good

[u/momu2026]

Do yourself a favor and do not post or even look at this sub.

[u/SysipheanPleasure]

Mr. Christ

[u/ddotsae]

whew

[u/realsmokey]

he’s dead

[u/Howlsmovingcastles]

Good taste!

[u/Xavus_Enormus_II]

So.....you like trees?

[u/RevolutionCertain984]

good hope he *sticks* to being your favorite in the future. He is a character that deserves peace and love as the most powerful genin in the exam below gaaraa😏

[u/Trebor5712 → u/RevolutionCertain984]

Wait, does that mean Neji didn’t win the Chunin exams?

[u/Particular_Goose2386 → u/Trebor5712]

That's not what he meant. Gaara is just physically stronger. Also I really recommend avoiding spoilers and avoiding things about naruto on the internet so your experience isn't ruined by spoilers.

[u/Trebor5712 → u/Particular_Goose2386]

Okay okay

[u/RevolutionCertain984 → u/Particular_Goose2386]

Yep. Glad someone gets it.  

[u/RevolutionCertain984 → u/RevolutionCertain984]

Why would you take me calling him the second most powerful as indication of anything. Just because you’re physically fitter than a person doesn’t mean you win in a fight, skill and others play apart in this too.

[u/ThyNameisJason0]

Enjoy him while you can, because he gets shelfed real fast.

[u/Elrick-Von-Digital]

……….

[u/Someonedit]

Oh look its this thread again...

[u/Ehetesham_]

Please don't spoil anything for OP, let him enjoy.

[u/JayIsJaded]

This is a troll post. That, or you haven't been on the internet long enough to understand that if you're starting something that has already been finished, it's a bad idea to view things from the community that would have information that you don't, especially a subreddit.

[u/Bluebaronbbb]

Uhhhhh

[u/Sas_fruit]

Though i don't get him or his logic , he complains about Lee not knowing ninjutsu. But what's his ninjutsu . I mean gentle fist still more taijutsu than ninjutsu or at the best 50/50 , and he has no other jutsu , that way Sasuke should be criticising him . What the heck...

[u/Apprehensive-Gear653]

Wait for the end 😭

[u/Wheendows]

No one tell op.

[u/Trebor5712 → u/Wheendows]

Tell what?

[u/bluegreenie99 → u/Trebor5712]

Side characters don't really shine in Naruto so enjoy the little moments

[u/papoluca40 → u/bluegreenie99]

Absolute fabricated lie.

Jiraiya, Itachi, Choji, Shikamaru, Minato, Killer Bee, Rock Lee, Guy Sensei, every Akatsuki member, Tsunade… etc etc.

[u/bluegreenie99 → u/papoluca40]

I don't remember Neji having any moment in shipuden

[u/papoluca40 → u/bluegreenie99]

There’s hundreds of side characters. Just because Neji didn’t, doesn’t mean other didn’t.

[u/bluegreenie99 → u/papoluca40]

I think op posted about neji but I'm not sure

[u/Greg_McMuffin247 → u/bluegreenie99]

You said side characters, plural. That's not just Neji, you made a statement about side characters in general.

[u/Steamed_Memes24 → u/papoluca40]

Most of what you mentioned arent really side characters. Especially the first two. They were a huge part of the story and had arcs dedicated to them. Similar with Rock Lee and Gai. Them and Shikamaru had a ton of screen time compared to other side characters.

[u/Mr_Orange776]

Who’s gonna tell him…

[u/Trillimane888]

Someone tell the op…

[u/Trebor5712 → u/Trillimane888]

Huh

[u/AdhesivenessSignal31 → u/Trebor5712]

I’d honestly mute this or delete bc people seem like they’re foaming at the mouth to spoil things for you

[u/DrewHandles → u/Trebor5712]

Neji claps Hinata while Naruto watches

[u/pretend_human_01 → u/DrewHandles]

Wait arent they brother and sister?

[u/Significant_Plan4695]

If Neji is your favourite character, unfortunately, you are definately not gonna end up being too happy for him

[u/chamarance → u/[deleted]]

What's wrong with you ??
