Tsunade 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 !

I Took On the Search for Tsunade and Survived!!

I've been a user who has undertaken rather crazy projects on Anime Vice for no particular reason. It started with filling out the episode information on the One Piece anime series page. Even now, I've nearly completed formatting all 490+ episodes. I could have it all done if I hadn't sworn off fan subs for this series and FUNimation hasn't reached the Thriller Bark story arc just yet. Other series I've worked on formatting episode pages has been both seasons of Strike Witches, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, the second season of Negima!?, Okami-san, and the entire first season of Code Geass. Well, I've taken a break on One Piece once more on the Naruto series.

With formatting character profiles. I just notice that profiles with so much detail in the story arcs aren't very helpful to people new to anime or manga. Why do these character pages need to be so filled? We have actual profiles for all these episodes/volumes. I got to thinking that if the episode profiles were well filled out with all this detail, all we would need to do is write simple plot summaries and link readers to the actual episodes to learn more fine detail. Even I'm considering going through my infamously large Nami profile and condensing the story arcs.

Tsunade Project

I've always liked Tsunade and I decided one day to try getting the ball rolling on the first Naruto series by filling out the episode profiles on one story arc as an example for the next. I chose the Search for Tsunade arc that was listed in episodes 81-100. It was about 20 episodes in the entire arc and I filled out each and every page with the same level of detail that dedicated to One Piece, but more so in the summary of the episode events.

I filled out every character that appeared in the episode and their appropriate voice actor. I was rather shocked that for as long that Anime Vice has been around that I was the person who had to create the profile for Naruto's English voice actress. The actress that had been listed all this time was the wrong one. Someone marked Naruto's voice actress as the women who voices Naruto only when performing his Sexy Justu technique and changes into a naked woman. I also had to make Tsunade's English voice actress profile. This was only a month or so ago when I started this project. I did this along with the 35 character profiles I formatted.

Check out the my work

Episode 81 - HERE Episode 82 - HERE  Episode 83 - HERE  Episode 84 - HERE  Episode 85 - HERE  Episode 86 - HERE Episode 87 - HERE  Episode 88 - HERE  Episode 89 - HERE  Episode 90 - HERE

Episode 91 - HERE Episode 92 - HERE  Episode 93 - HERE  Episode 94 - HERE  Episode 95 - HERE  Episode 96 - HERE Episode 97 - HERE  Episode 98 - HERE  Episode 99 - HERE  Episode 100 - HERE

Now, for all these characters that appeared in this arc only need a brief description of what happened on their character page. The reader can just be directed to the episode pages to get the finer points.

I would like to see this as one part of a much larger initiative to start getting other users to start filling out episode profiles on this and other series a few episodes at a time. Using this arc as a high quality standard.

Since when have we ever known Tsunade's last name was Koichi? If anything, wouldn't it be like Senju or something? But yeah, just thought I'd bring this up, because her last name is still unknown information and yet here it says that it's Koichi (which I think is completely wrong)

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.
