Naruto: Remembering the Series' Most Important Characte

As the Naruto anime celebrates its twentieth anniversary
this month, it is essential to recall the series' most significant character.

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the Naruto anime,
giving it the ideal moment to commemorate all that is fantastic about the
series. The series featured a superb, character-driven tale that was so successful
that it, together with Bleach and One Piece, became known as the "Big
Three" of anime. This group is still so famous that the series that
comprise it are still utilised and regarded as the gold standard for what
constitutes a good anime/manga.

 One of the reasons anime fans adore Naruto is because of its
fantastic ensemble of characters. Naruto is a really inspirational protagonist
who spectators got to see develop from an unruly boy into a guy worthy of
everyone's praise and respect. Sasuke was also a fantastic competitor
character, having some of the strongest and most fascinating characterisation
in anime. Even Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox within Naruto who served as the
series' enemy for the majority of the time, has become one of the franchise's
most beloved characters. However, there can only be one "greatest
character," and luckily for everyone, we all know who that character is.

 That's right, it's Swing-kun all over again. This one small
swing was always there for Naruto when no one else was. After his parents died,
Naruto was supposed to be nurtured and supported by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen
Sarutobi, but this never occurred. The Third Hokage hardly provided him with
groceries, let alone any form of parenting or care.

 Naruto's situation at school was no better. Rather than
looking after the orphaned child of one of Hidden Leaf Village's best shinobi
and the Fourth Hokage, the vast majority of the villagers treated the
unfortunate kid like trash, even warning their children to keep away from
Naruto and avoid him since he had the Nine-Tailed Fox. Despite this, Naruto was
never alone – not because of his destructive connection with Sasuke, but
because of Swing-kun.

 

Swing-kun offered Naruto with more comfort and company than
anybody else, and is possibly the only reason he did not become twisted from
loneliness and isolation as Gaara did. Every day, Naruto would have to see his
classmates interact with one another, get picked up by their parents, and enjoy
being a part of the village. It was devastating for Naruto, but Swing-kun was
there to console him. Furthermore, unlike Sasuke, who repeatedly abandoned
Naruto's relationship, breaking his confidence, Swing-kun never did. Swing-kun
doesn't seem to allow anybody else sit on him except Naruto. Swing-kun, in
other words, is the epitome of a "ride or die" day one buddy.

 Swing-kun had a large and consistent effect on the series'
storyline, despite being Naruto's only source of support (which is true on
numerous ways, considering how he supported Naruto's weight when he was
sitting). Naruto's signature technique was never the Rasengan or his Shadow
Clones, but rather his one-of-a-kind talent, "Talk no Jutsu," and
Swing-kun was always a big part of it. Talk no Jutsu is a special move that
attacks opponents with powerful words as well as a flashback. In truth, it's
always the same flashback. Why is this significant? Because Swing-kun is the
focal point of the flashback!

 

 

 Naruto's loneliness as a youngster is constantly depicted in
the flashback, as well as how heartbroken and furious it made him. This is why
Naruto can relate to the villains he is attempting to save and rehabilitate.
It's also evident that Naruto was able to keep himself from going down a dark
road due of the tight relationships he had, none of which were as powerful as
the one he had with Swing-kun. These flashbacks demonstrated that Swing-kun not
only had more screen time than other characters like as Tenten, but that
Swing-kun was also more significant than them.

 

 

In fact, it's safe to say that without his most devoted
comrade, Swing-kun, Naruto would never have become Hokage, let alone saved the
whole ninja world. While many fans recall flashier figures like Jiraiya or
Kakashi as the ones who helped lead and nurture Naruto into the ninja he is
now, it's apparent that Swing-kun deserves that appreciation and credit.
Swing-kun survived after Pain destroyed the Hidden Leaf Village because he knew
Naruto needed his oldest and best friend. Swing-kun may not be the strongest in
terms of sheer force, but what counts most is character strength, which
Swing-kun possesses in plenty.
