Jiraiya News

This is a mini-series I thought I would start with my blogs, I'm not as active as I would like to be so I figured this would give me a more consistent activity. This "series" will be on various teams throughout the Naruto series, highlighting there past, what they have done, members, and so on. These won't be the most popular teams, some you might know, but that may actuallly help you through learning something you weren't familar with. Anyways, for the first blog I thought I might use a team that is notable, and also a fan-favorite, The Sannin. The Sannin is a group of very powerful ninja, easily Kage-level, that used to work together for a common cause, despite there very different attitudes. These three ninja's are Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.  

Past

 
All three ninja grew up in Konoha, and were all apart of the same team when they were Genin. The team's leader was Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen was the Hokage when the series was introduced, and was a major supporter of Naruto and his dreams of becoming Hokage. So all three of the students weren't called the Sannin at the time, that would come later in there lives. However, all three showed impressive skills and talent of the ninja arts that no doubt gave Hiruzen a foreshadow of the power they would have one day.  
Later in their lives, they would fight in the Second Shinobi World War, where they faught Hanzo. Becuase he was so powerful at the time, it was difficult for any one person or army to stop him, and just three ninja's were able to challenge his power. Becuase of this, he called them Konoha's Sannin, though they are just known as the Sannin for short. That is when Jiraiya met Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko. The Sannin had mixed opinions about what to do with the children, but Jiraiya eventually came to stay with them and train them, not knowing of the destruction they would cause one day.

Done

 
Shortly after Hiruzen's death, which Orochimaru caused when he attempted to take control of Konoha, Jiraiya was offered the position of the Fifth Hokage. However, he quickly turned down the oppurtunity, and instead decided to go look for and offer the position to Tsunade. When they finally met, all three of the Sannin fought in a battle. Eventually, it came down to Orochimaru fleeing, Tsunade and Jiraiya were both injured, though Tsunade has her medical-nin, still being weak. Before they began to battle with their summons, Tsunade mentioned that after that day they were no longer the Sannin, even though they were still noted as that afterwords. 
 

All three used their respected summons, Orochimaru with Manda, Jiraiya with Gamabunta, and Tsunade with Katsuyu. Showing all their affinities with their respected animal, also tying into the old Chinese folklore of the Slug fearing the Toad, the Toad fearing the Snake, and the Snake fearing the Slug. This is most often presumed to show that they are more or less equal in power, but in different areas may excel than each other. Its also interesting to note that each of Team 7 have trained with one of the Sannin. Naruto trained with Jiraiya, Sakura trained with Tsunade, and Sasuke trained with Orochimaru at some point. Each bringing back abilities and traits that model their respective mentors. 
  
So that is my basic run-up of the Sannin, their isn't a whole lot of time spent on them, but I covered the major appearences of them. Note that I didn't use this blog to specify each member, but the activity when all three were together. 
Hope you enjoyed !

Two More Profiles Formatted!!

I've been making some pretty good progress in formatting some of the character pages on Anime Vice. I've written two blogs showing some of the larger projects. Over forty character profiles have been given pretty detailed formatting detail and I have no idea how many anime episode. As I was doing some browsing of some characters. I noticed two had some rather glaring omissions in that there was so little detail on their profiles. Samui from the Hidden Cloud Village had very little info, and what was more shocking, other than Samui's ability to fit in that top, is that Jiraiya's profile was entirely blank. A major character such as him with no profile info was just wrong.

Samui's profile was easy enough to fill out since so little information is known about her. She's not been in the series for long, but I do hope to see a lot more of her (No, that's not a pun). Samui would be what would best be described as a "cool beauty". As calm and mature as her name implies. Read her profile and you'll understand what I mean. Jiraiya's profile took a bit more time. Yeah, it could still use some work, but for the most part it's looking good. Especially when you consider that a couple days ago it was blank. Though, that made me suspicious how some users have earned 800 wiki points or more.

I have also added pretty much all the characters from the Hidden Cloud Village. You should check those characters out. They have some really good looking women.

I just rewatched Nostalgia Critic`s review of the Power Rangers movie. And i finally decided to make a log about the only thing that bothered me. And good to see that he didn't do any real research what so ever otherwise he would have know the in the Japanese version the Black Frog Ranger is called Jiraiya who is a very well developed character btw. sound familliar?XD

Yep he kinda called the perve sage lame too in a way....  FROG/TOAD POWER AINT LAME!!!!

(O and if he did do some research he would also know that Repulsa`s voice aint in synch because Saban used the old Bandora Footage from ZyuRanger and dubbed it so he could have left that question out. double lame!) and yes i already posted there too week ago lol

Welcome to Cougerville - where all we are is the day Naruto Met Granny Tsunade...

So, im going to make really funny as possible. Or at least try.
