I Counted Every Flashback In Naruto

As we all know, Naruto is an anime notorious for its flashbacks. I remember being so annoyed at seeing the same flashbacks multiple times in an episode when I first watched it. So way back in July of 2017 I got curious and wondered how many flashbacks there were in total. And yes it took me almost 3 years to complete this. I watched every episode and tallied every flashback I saw and categorized it as well. And now as of July 2019, I have finally finished. And here are my findings:

18 flashbacks about Naruto’s childhood/years in the Academy

47 flashbacks about Sasuke/Uchiha Clan

12 flashbacks about the conflict with Mizuki/Mizuki’s life

56 flashbacks about the Land of the Wave Arc/Zabuza & Haku/Inari & his Dad

21 flashbacks about Itachi

23 flashbacks about the Sasuke Recovery Arc

10 flashbacks about the Uchiha Massacre

12 flashbacks about Kimmimaro

3   flashbacks about the Kyuubi Attack

11 flashbacks about the Third Hokage

7  flashbacks about Iruka/his childhood

3  flashbacks about Kyuubi sealed into Naruto/Naruto’s birth

22 flashbacks about Naruto saying inspirational words/speech

44 flashbacks about Team 7 or members of Team 7

10 flashbacks about Naruto training

12 flashbacks about Naruto having moments with others

31 flashbacks about Naruto & Sasuke having fights/moments

19 flashbacks are misc or I don’t know how to place

98 flashbacks about the Chuunin Exams

32 flashbacks about Team Gai or members of Team Gai

9  flashbacks about Sakura & Ino (their friendship)

22 flashbacks about Orochimaru

24 flashbacks about Hinata & Neji

20 flashbacks about Team 10 or members of Team 10

36 flashbacks about the Sand Siblings & their childhood

35 flashbacks about Jiraiya & Tsunade/their childhood

30 flashbacks about Team 8 or members of Team 8

9  flashbacks about Idate Morino/his childhood

5 flashbacks about Land of Rice Feilds Investigation Mission/Fuuma Clan

7 flashbacks about Kurosaki Family Removal Mission/Ranmaru & Karashi’s past

3  flashbacks about Gosunkugi Capture Mission

14 flashbacks about Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission

5  flashbacks about Anko/her past

6 flashbacks about the Kaima Capture Mission/Isaribi & her life

24 flashbacks about the Star Guard Mission/Sumaru’s Past and family

6 flashbacks about the Peddlers Escort Mission

18 flashbacks about the Konoha Plans Recapture Mission

13 flashbacks about the Yakumo Kurama Rescue Mission

10 flashbacks about the Gantetsu Mission/Todoroki’s past

6 flashbacks about the Menma Memory Search Mission

6 flashbacks about the Sunagakure support Mission/Matsuri 

The grand total of all flashbacks is: 791

So yeah, that’s how many there are. Some of them were rather difficult to decide if it was a flashback or not but I think I did pretty well. Now I’m onto the real challenge-Shippuden. If I don’t upload another list by 2021 then I’m probably dead.

[sasukesgaychangemymind]

The last paragraph has me shook. OP are you telling me this list does NOT include Shippuden.

This is important.

It’s not a “loophole” it’s explicit within the text of the amendment

[asgardreid-deactivated20180407]

“Loophole” lmfao like it’s a fucking accident, like it wasn’t purposefully structured to reclaim and expand a source of free labor

[stele3]

We never outlawed slavery in America. We simply transferred ownership of slaves from individual landowners to the government and large corporations.

Other fun facts about prison labor corporations:

-Federal and state-run prisons usually pay their slaves minimum wage; some states, however, like Colorado, pay $2/hour.

-Private prisons pay $.17-.50/hour. The highest paying private prison is in Tennessee, which pays $.50/hour for “highly-skilled labor.”

-You think that hasn’t affected wages in the US? You think that hasn’t removed manufacturing jobs from the economy?

-Companies that contract with private prisons for their slave labor include: IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Wireless, Texas Instrument, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Nortel, Lucent Technologies, 3Com, Intel, Northern Telecom, TWA, Nordstrom’s, Revlon, Macy’s, Pierre Cardin, Target Stores. Many, many products that say “Made in USA” were made in prison.

-Private prisons often have quotas with the states, wherein the states contractually guarantee that they will provide a certain number of prisoners to fill the beds of a private prison, and if they don’t then they owe the private prison millions of dollars. I’m not making this up. It happened in Colorado after they legalized weed.

-States have a financial incentive to lock up their citizens.

-All of the above corporations have a financial incentive to see citizens get locked up.

-This is why Jeff Sessions is going after weed. The prison industrial complex needs slaves.

-To the shock of absolutely no one, private prisons have even more disparate racial demographics than federal/state prisons.

-Where do you think they send undocumented immigrants who have been rounded up? That’s right, private prisons. That’s why so many of them are in the South. So they take immigrants who are earning some kind of comparable wage and paying income tax to the government, and put them in prison where the wages are absurdly depressed and the prison pays virtually nothing in taxes.

-Oh yeah: private prisons pay virtually nothing in taxes. Because they technically manage real estate (prison as housing), they get all sorts of tax breaks and subsidies.

Tl;dr the prison industrial complex removes jobs from the economy, depresses wages, cheats the tax system, and ENSLAVES PEOPLE, usually people of color.

For reference, they’re referring to the clause that goes, “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

Local Bookstores Have A New Weapon In The Fight With Amazon

In the book industry, Amazon is Goliath, the giant who overshadows everyone else. But there’s a new David on the scene, Bookshop.org.

It doesn’t expect to topple the giant, but it has launched a weapon that could make Amazon’s shadow a little smaller, and help local bookstores fight back.

Bookshop.org, a website that went live at the end of January and is still in beta mode, is designed to be an alternative to Amazon, and to generate income for independent bookstores. And, perhaps more importantly, it seeks to give book reviewers, bloggers and publications who rely on affiliate income from “Buy now” links to Amazon a different option.

Profit from books sold through Bookshop will be split three ways, with 10% of the sale price going into a pool that will be divided among participating bookstores, 10% going to the publication that triggered the sale by linking to Bookshop.org, and 10% going to Bookshop.org to support its operations.

y’all, Bookshop is amazing. i got an email about them from my local indie store, and they’re so excited about it. please oh please use this place instead of Amazon!!

with every purchase, they tell you how much you’re putting toward independent booksellers, which is fun and cute:

it’s also amazing for authors! i’ve been asked a couple times about the best way to support my books. this site is now the answer. it reports sales figures to the NYT and Bookscan, a type of tracking that helps authors hit bestseller lists. and even better, authors can set up affiliate pages, and if you buy through those pages, we get an additional 10 percent of each sale on top of royalties. this is a massive deal!!!

for reference, many royalty rates are in the 6-8 percent range. so if you buy through Bookshop author affiliate pages, authors get more than twice as much from sales of their books, with no additional cost to you.

the site is still in beta, but it also has a fun interface where you can make book lists for favorites or recommendations, sort of like goodreads (except better, because goodreads is owned by amazon).

this is my Bookshop page. if you ever buy one of my books, i pray u will do it from this site! (or from your local indie :D)

Independent bookseller here. We fucking love Bookshop right now. They’ve increased the percentage we get from sales through affiliate links during the COVID-19 crisis, which is a really big deal for the stores that can’t or don’t run their own online shops – which, with most stores shut down, is a lot. Even those of us trying to operate remotely could really use the extra boost.

Plus you can get both eBooks and DRM-free audiobooks through Bookshop, too! They’re powered by Hummingbird (the American Bookseller Association’s new e-reader program) and Libro-dot-FM (for legal, ethical, DRM-free aubiobooks.)

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

[vesperlionheart]

6. Content creators are not your parents and owe you nothing, not even a breakdown on why their content isn’t problematic. You don’t get to demand a dissertation denouncing any and everything unhealthy in a piece you don’t like. Move on.

[summerpipedream]

7. Tagging is a nicety but not an obligation. You can message people, politely, and ask them to tag things, and many people will, but understand that it’s their blog and they aren’t obliged to say yes. Unfollow and block when you need to. Circling back to number 1, you are responsible for curating your own experience.

8. Don’t be a jerk. Remember at the end of the day, there are actual living, breathing people behind each screen name. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to someone’s face in real life.
