Unofficial fan-driven “Naruto runs” have been seemingly gaining popularity in the western world, with the event asking that participants have their arms flail behind them like Naruto characters do as they run – which likely looks quite ridiculous to those unfamiliar with the franchise.
Naruto fans in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and several other countries (except Japan it seems) have been holding these unofficial events to celebrate the franchise’s existence, perhaps serving as yet more fodder for people online to chastise western “otaku”.
Some videos of the Naruto run events:
Many are suspecting the runs held in the United States only manage a rather short duration at best…
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeaks!!
This running style is so PAINFUL to look at. Please, animators, give your characters a REALISTIC running style.
Look at all those Narutards running…..
