the only valid naruto meta is the single use clothing sasuke theory my flatmates came up with after a drunken binge of the chuunin exams

[schistcity]

“Single Use Clothing Sasuke” is a complex, multi-layered theory borne of the complex, multi-layered minds of my flatmates. It essentially boils down to the idea that Every Single Thing sasuke wears from the day of the uchiha massacre to the day he leaves the village are entirely different yet identical versions of the same two outfits. He only wears them once and then throws them out.

The idea behind this is based on the implications that a) sasuke lives alone in the uchiha compound which is intended to be lived in by hundreds of people, b) he was not cared or provided for in any way by the village adults after the massacre, and c) there are entire city blocks of empty uchiha houses full of free shit just sitting there, ESPECIALLY clothing.

Theory is as follows: sasuke, clearly unable to do his own laundry because he’s 12 and a moron, spends four years of his life using the abandoned clothes that previously belonged to the children in the uchiha clan as disposable clothing and there’s a landfill in Konoha somewhere just full of black playsuits.

Companion theory “One-Shirt Uzumaki” where naruto owns exactly one (1) set of clothing that he furiously hand washes every night at 1am.

[lafortis]

you know what this is pretty plausible actually all things considered

[i-am-the-wilding-deactivated201]

According to the article, all clothing for the photo shoot was designed for women, per Miller’s request. He rocks it.

[milkshake-fairy]

this scene amuses me bc Naruto hitting the tree wouldn't have been that detrimental. It would’ve hurt, sure, but nothing too serious, given that hes been knocked around plenty in battles before, yet sasuke still felt the need to get up in his already very injured state and shield his boy, not just shield him but let naruto crash into him at full force. like sasuke was ready to take on more pain if it meant a little less pain for naruto, what a prince charming

BANANA FISH!

[fady-jaeger]

Why Banana Fish is amazing

(From the perspective of an anime-only viewer)

“Nature made Ash Lynx beautiful; nurture made him a cold ruthless killer.”

This is how people describe the main protagonist of this series, and I couldn’t have said it better. The show is dark and gritty, and it touches on extremely sensitive topics, but over everything else, it’s realistic af.

MAPPA truly outdid themselves with Banana Fish. Action, culture, angst and a whole lot of drama. It really deals with tough elements like trafficking and gang violence, which feels like a refreshing change from typical anime story lines, but it’s not for the faint of heart. However, I am not here writing today about how much I love Banana Fish, being someone who never read its manga. I am here to prove to you how Banana Fish particularly gained my utmost respect in episode 12 (To Have and Have Not).

I know, I know. There is a whole lot more to cover from this brilliant episode that happened way before this scene but hear me out. Hear me out because this is exactly the scene that caught my most interest this week. Ash’s conversation with Max on what the Mafia is planning with the drug in question in a global scale was both terrifying yet also a painful reality check for us the viewers.How does this not remind you of our modern dark times?

So tell us Ash, how does the US cleverly intervene in foreign affairs without permission? How do they knock in people’s doors uninvited?

YES! IN A NUTSHELL, YES! This is how the US and other superpowers take control of other lands using geopolitical conflicts as disguise!

I am absolutely SPEECHLESS! These are very self-explanatory regarding our real planet Earth.

Banana Fish does not just deliver a reality check after another. It also delivers real-life statistical information to educate you. Yes, I have verified info, (knowing that ‘Kafghanistan’ is the certain mock of real-life war-torn country in the Middle East today.

You can easily verify this with a quick Google search. Most news outlets have written articles depicting the following:

I am just blown away by the veracity of this anime. Mind you, I am not a manga reader, but I now know for a fact that this show does not lie to you. It is a manga series written and illustrated by Akimi Yoshida (amazing woman) and was serialized in Shōjo Comic from 1985 to 1994. As I said, I am not sure if these pieces of information are straight from the manga or an anime original, but either way I am very, very happy with how it raises awareness in these issues. If it was a MAPPA original, I am proud of MAPPA, and if it is all from the late 80s and early 90s, the Akimi Yoshida needs to be celebrated. She is amazing at what she compiled. 

Remember kids, everything is possible if:

Just like our dearest Ash said:

Thank you Ash, it has always been. But with a Trump administration in power, all I can say is there is indeed Mafia and a lot of illegal money wondering around from hand to hand behind closed doors. Who says that those wearing the nice suits are not the actual terrorists?! But we all find it easier to blame religion for terrorism. God forbid, we talk rubbish on other people’s prophets and religious beliefs all the time. Were you there when the founders of the top 3 Abrahamic religions we know today spread their beliefs to their people? Have you seen how Muhammad or Jesus really lived? Then who are you to judge those who have faith to them today? Religion aside, the US government is crap, and so is the UK government, and so is the Russian government and so is the French government. It is just so sad, therefore, we must applaud those who use the medium of manga/anime and TV entertainment in general such as studio MAPPA for reminding us in what side of the gang we should be. A woman, who I didn’t even know existed before 2018 conveyed the painful reminder yet also, the powerful message of how scarily dangerous money and illegal drug trafficking can pose to humanity. While Banana Fish is thankfully not real, heroin is real, greed for money is real, the Mafia is real, and so are wars with no regard for human lives. I want you to watch this show through this perspective. This is how I am watching it.

I WAS IN LITERAL TEARS! THIS ANIME IS AMAZING! The way it portrays real life issues. How the men in suits are the real terrorists in this world of ours. How the US is intervening in international affairs without permission. HOW THE MAFIA IS COOPERATING WITH THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE MONEY IS ALWAYS INVOLVED. How they exploit the Middle East, cause wars and make them turn into each other, effectively making them PUPPETS! THIS IS ALL SO TRUE! How Afghanistan is sadly the biggest exporter of heroin in the planet…rendering thousands of Afghans to have to survive in a war-torn land with no future and about 50% of the country’s young population in no education. Instead, they are probably cultivating heroin. Because how else would you and your family get the means to survive?

Akimi Yoshida is brilliant. Akimi Yoshida created Banana Fish in 1986, THIS WAS OVER 30 YEARS AGO! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! What I have shown in this post is my favourite scene in this episode. All of this is summarized by a 17-year old protagonist in a matter of seconds. I am simply blown away and this was not even the only good scenes in this show. 

Please have a watch if you have not yet discovered Banana Fish! It may contain distressing mature themes throughout the series, but as a mature viewer, you shall greatly benefit. I love Ash and I love Eiji and I love the rest of the characters. But that’s a character-focused talk for another day. You can catch It subtitled in English on Amazon Prime Video every Thursday! Thanks for reading my long post! I LOVE BANANA FISH! REMEMBER THAT!

What an absolutely stunning Lynx. Thanks for coming to my Banana Fish TED Talk and see you next week Ash! 

(PS: please don’t die on me I am suffering with you.)
