Assuming that almost everyone knows what the Naruto Run is, I'll move on to the topic. ( In case if anyone doesn't, it's the edgy kid way of running with both your hands behind your back.) I almost forgot (or tried to forget ) that anything called the Naruto Run actually exist, but then a certain anime had to reminded me about that painful stuff again. To think that a modern anime would use such things, I'm beyond surprised! Why would they still use something like that in anime? It's not like this will actually make you run faster or anything... Now moving on to the topic: Why does this trope still exist in anime? I thought this naruta run was long extinct. Are the anime studios actually taking them seriously? Why is the "Naruto Run" still a thing in and outside of anime? I'm not blaming anyone or anything. This just.... brings back painful memories >.< |

| It looks stylish. That's basically it--a stylish action show wanted to make their characters run in a manner more stylish than plain ol' running. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
Askorti said: Well, you're gravely mistaken. I can still remember kids running like that during my high school days. Some even wore those Naruto headbands!I don't think Naruto run was ever a thing outside anime. |

| The naruto run is an excellent technique with many advantages and allows for a faster run. When you run you can't bring your chest too forward because you would fall but his ingenious and revolutionary style manages to do that thanks to the arms pointing backwards that keep the balance preventing the otherwise unavoidable fall. And of course as we all know the more forward your chest is the faster you run. |

| Running like naruto makes me wet...i like it |
| Face it @z-dante the naruto run is here to stay, it'll never go away. The naruto run is a cringy part of your past, but your must allow it to be a part of your future. |

| It was there long before Naruto came out. I've seen this in mostly anime related to Ninjas like Flame of Recca and Ninku. Maybe it's easier to animate or maybe it looks different/cool or maybe it's aerodynamically beneficial. You do look like an airplane while running like that. I used to run like that sometimes and emulate Fuusuke as a kid. I was a retarded child. |

| Well sonic does that kind of run to you know? there are mainly 2 reason why they do it: 1. it looks cool to them and 2. it is allot easier to Animate that because then they don't have to animate the arms swinging |

| Why the fuck not? It looks kewl and it's an aerodynamically efficient way of running. You see, running like that makes your body a streamlined shape by cutting off the resistance your arms would've produced otherwise, making cutting through air easier hence increasing your running velocity. . |
kamisama751 said: Wat?Tobe honest I can't see the difference between your original post and all those so-called "anti-echi" threads you are against all the time. Are you being hypocritical? :D My original post has nothing related to ecchi. It's just against a trend that grew from a single mainstream anime. And to think that you of all people would defend kabaneri... '>.> |

| well..Naruto is cool..so anything he does is also cool..accept it..XD Edit: why this thread looks so formal..o_O |

| The "Naruto Run" is still a thing because Naruto itself is still a thing. 'Nuff said |
| Sonic the Hedgehog was doing the "arms behind the back" run since long before Naruto jumped on the bandwagon. |
 |
| Because doing the Naruto-run or whatever it's called is fun >_< I do it when I'm running away from dogs at night :3 |

| Because people like you still make threads like this |
| ^This fella gets it! *cries with joy* ( ╥ω╥ ) @Bobby2hands, it's understandable for small shaped fictional character to run like that ( tbh, it'd look weird if sonic ran like normal humans). But for a human shaped character to run like that, idk, 2clichéd4me. Ultimatedeath said: Be careful. If dogs could talk, they'd call you a weeb immediately :3Because doing the Naruto-run or whatever it's called is fun >_< I do it when I'm running away from dogs at night :3 As for why Naruto is a thing? Beats me! Must be because of the Naruto x Sasuke ship ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

this and this one looks like someone who have a compulsive obsession with his glasses and the other one seems to have some problems with his fingers' nerves.. but people still tghink it's cool and triy to do it irl..XD |
Why not?And why isn't it called the "Arale run" by the way? (right, @bikers123 , it is old) I'm sure I saw the EVA-01 do this some years before Naruto started. Or Sonic even before. I always found this pretty bizarre in Naruto because it looked like a "cheap" replacement for what you can see in some historical reconstitutions where ninja are running with an arm in front of them and the other hand in the back (I saw it in some animated movie too) |

| Looks pretty cool imo. I should have used it when I ran in high school. Maybe I'd have won. |

| I guess it's easier to animate than regular running. |
| Tbh, it looks really funny seeing characters running like that xD That reminds me of your thread about characters wearing tracksuits. |
 |
| Easier to animate. Less movements. |
 |
| I suspect that the so-called Naruto Run is more of a Japanese theatrical/cinematic tradition that goes much further back than we think. |
| So when someone does it in real life you immediately know they're a weeaboo. |

| Because it makes your body more aerodynamic. |
 |
| Because they're so fast there arms go straight in a backwards position. If you try think they run in a normal way, it's like they are in a marathon or sumthing. |
 |
| Because it looks cool than normal run... |
 |
| I attempted the naruto run in PE doing the mile when I was hyped about the show in middle school. I got jumped by 3 black kids and never ran that way again. |
| I don't fucking know.... Nobody runs like that....NOBODY! Has anyone ever seen a track and field athlete run like a fucking retard? No. |
