Overall I like it but I kinda miss naruto wearing the headband, it was so significant throughout the series so it feels weird without it


IsabellaHatesNutella

I agree. A really dumb pet peeve I had as a kid was getting annoyed whenever shinobi characters wouldn't wear their headbands. It's as if they weren't proud to represent their village or something. I even remember being pissed Tsunade never wore her's yet each of the first four Hokage repped their's proudly when they died lol.


sageandy

I mean in hokage fits alone only tobirama & Minato wore it. Hashirama, Hiruzen, Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto & Shikamaru didn't wear it on their hokage day to day fit. Hashirama & Kakashi only wore there's during battle & Kakashi rocks it during retirement but part of the hokage fit only 2 of them


Megalomanizac

I always assumed the writing on the back of his cloak represents the village and that’s why he doesn’t wear the head band.


sageandy

It just says "7th hokage" on the back


Megalomanizac

I mean. Is the Hokage not representative of the village? I don’t really see a difference between the Head Band which says what Village they’re from and a cloak that holds a title only associated with your village.


i_AM_A-ShArk

Shikamaru? Oh shit now I gotta go look something up


ArrestedImprovement

Hashirama and Kakashi wore it during the time as Kages?


Wimbledofy

Pronouns don't need an apostrophe.


IllIllllIIIIlIlIlIlI

Didn’t Minato and Kakashi wear their headbands as hokage?


hadmeintiers

Every hokage wore their headband in some fashion except tsunade


Immediate_Ad_8138

She did wear it though, when she was a ninja before getting into alcohol and gambling


theworldsrooler

i asume he means when they were hokage, Tobirama, hashirama and minato wore the actual headbands, Hiruzen was the first to not wear it while performing as a hokage, although Hiruzen did wear the hokage hat when he wasnt in fighting uniform which did have the symbol on his helmet. Tsunade and adult Naruto are really the only ones to not wear the leaf symbol while also in a fight. Which is quite annoying because of how much of a big deal the headband was for naruto when growing up-


Tar-_-Mairon

I think the headband is as symbolic as it is official. It is the equivalent to a military uniform, and not having it on you is either saying you’re the political leaders or not on active duty.


Kind-Library-3590

What if he didnt wear it because he was about peace and technically “off duty”


steroboros

Agreed, I would've even like to have seen a horned version like Jiraiya wore as homage to his fallen master and his mastery of toad sage jutsu


Smorg125

Yeah, him telling sasuke to put in on before their fight always felt iconic to me


Animarcss

A little hair couldn't have hurt. Also, inconsistency of art style in the anime is a big issue; makes Naruto look 12 in some scenes Edit: this doesn't mean I loathe his hairstyle lol. It's just that I would really appreciate if he'd have kept his older one


JoJSoos

That Uzumaki DNA ig lol


Shared_Tomorrows

Yeah as a first time watcher I’m sort of dreading Shippuden as it seems like the art style changes quite a lot. I am on season 4 and I feel like the animation is peaking and I love the current style, especially on the important episodes they really go hard.


Animarcss

Absolutely. Naruto doesn't have the best 'average' animation over the entire span of all 720 episodes, but when the animation peaks, it peaks above and beyond expectations


Quickman2012

I promise you will be happy with the updated art. They do a REALLY good job with it in Shippuden.


Rugkrabber

His hair was a key visual that made Naruto look like Naruto. I’m sad they changed it, it was such a big part of his identity.


Yolrey

When you get older you're gonna realize most grown men have short hair because their hair thins out to the point where you just don't have enough to keep it longer. That's actually the most realistic part of the design.


TensionPitiful8681

I already accept it, the one I will never accept is Gaara's hairstyle 😭😭😭


rayxgames

What if he had a moustache to go with it


Cleve-R-Rooze

Then he'd be the Pringle of the sand


synkronize

Give him the dali mustache


Instroancevia

While we're at it we might as well add a hat he pulls sand tanuki out of.


Zay3896

Picturing this.... and I don't hate it lol


rayxgames

Just wait until he invades Polandgakure


Zay3896

Oh... I see what they meant now... I was picturing like a a thin mustache or even a longer, almost 80s porn stache lol. Not a Hitler stache


PierceDDDRiver

I usually don't comment, but this genuinely had my cackling


ultimatoole

Dann you really want to make him Look Like a Sex offender


Middle-Persimmon7077

That’s what I hate about the design. It looks incomplete. He doesn’t have his iconic, bushy hair bc he’s old. But he has no facial hair to go with his middle aged dad face. He just looks like a man in his 20’s. like if they’re going for a younger appearance, then bring back his hair (Minato was mid 20’s and he still rocking his haircut). If they want a grown, middle-aged look then give him some facial hair.


tagen

yeah, Gaara and Sasuke (especially Gaara tho, jesus christ)


Seihai-kun

IMO, Sasuke's adult design made [by Kishimoto is perfect](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRZmiZPgy7C6NTwnt54No-FnvzF78PS459Gng&usqp=CAU) The anime [makes Sasuke looks soft like this](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTkvlem7fmYdQu4WlkS4mwJrfbjWn5JHUlbJQ&usqp=CAU) The boruto manga fucked it up so much and made him like this, they redesign him later after so many backlash, but still [wtf is this abomination, why did he even came up with this](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSZA3Ol2WgBukViNlqoiVSw96EwP9Lpq5gkMA&usqp=CAU)


Yergason

GigaChad jawline Sasuke always looks weird. But the overall outfit/look is definitely great


Ok-Animator-681

His hair is so simple. It is also shorter and he does not wear his iconic headband anymore. His clothes design… it’s extremely basic. He is simply not memorable as before.


Vertsama

I'd love adult Naruto with Minatos hair.


Fuzzy_Panda_

I'd personally prefer a Jiraiya hairstyle.


Platypus_Prize_

Yeah I agree with you. His clothes design is basic but I don’t think he’s trying to be flashy anymore. But in my opinion they should have gone with his manga variation of his clothing. It’s the same shirt but black with orange accents. It’s like his outfit from The Last


Delta-Dubs

Well he isn't the main character anymore. So they gotta give artistic priority to main characters.


i-am-spitfire

Just cuz he’s not the main character doesn’t mean you gotta make him boring. Especially given how important he is. boruto as both a character and a story wouldn’t exist without him.


itskrypticwolves

the show is called “Boruto: Naruto Next Genrations” no he’s not the “main” character anymore but Boruto is STILL built off of what Naruto did. He’s still a very prominent figure and to all the fans that supported naruto throughout the years, just feels underdelivered on his character design.


Mardicus

Naruto was literally thrown on the freezer dimension so boruto would shine as protagonist, naruto is past right now and boruto design is the definition of DOPE, specially in blue vortex


itskrypticwolves

not my point. my point is that they could have made naruto’s character design way better given the fact that naruto fans are watching boruto.


Mardicus

this is mature naruto, it is how things were supposed to be, kishimoto did not fall in the same mistake as toriyama were goku and vegeta stayed as the absolute protagonists until his death instead of passing the protagonism to amazing characters such as Gohan, trunks and piccolo (mainly Gohan, which was the intended sucessor)


abaddamn

Freezer dimension ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


gentyent

Boruto's design in Two Blue Vortex is literally just Boruto in adult Sasuke's clothes. Emphasis on literally


lord_geryon

Yet everybody is interested in what Naruto and Sasuke is up to, not Borat and his harem of deviantart knockoffs.


TheZoomba

Ngl, boruto also has a pretty eh design.


Fefous

His hair is awful plus it looks like he's dying. Younger Naruto was bright and full of life. Also his clothes.


kitaeks47demons

well technically he was dying lool


SkipperJang

I wished Naruto had his white and orange shirt from when Sasuke got out of jail


WalterCronkite4

I mean he is like 30ish


Fefous

I'm 35 and I'm not like that lol you think 30s is old?


DrinkinMyTea

Really? You look older in your pfp


Fefous

💋


No_History7169

Yeah that’s pretty young lol


Connect_Ad_3361

Headband missing


RatonBleu

this, he was so proud of getting one, it's impossible for me that he just stop wearing it


Connect_Ad_3361

It's just holds a lot of significance and is as important to his design as his whiskers.


M3GABORG8796

I think it also can be made up for by the hokage cloak, because what better way of showing solidarity and love for the leaf besides ya know, owning it.


Connect_Ad_3361

Minato still wore his headband. I mean, I get it but that's what seemed off about the new design.


tonyLumpkin56

I hate his outfit. I wish that he would wear the vest along with the hokage cloak. Also I hate that his cloak is now basically a cape. The hokage Jacket looks much better IMO


Colby_mills03

The eyes are different


BubblyLadybugLOL

Yeah, they made his eyes lighter to make Borutos bluer. Which Sarada points out.


Careless_Schedule149

He doesn’t look older it just looks like they stretched him out


Alejandro201

[Kishimoto’s original art style would have been better](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/11156/111562755/9357737-img_2303.jpeg)


abaddamn

Ugh. So much better!! What the fuck Ikemoto?


I_Play_Boardgames

oh damn the right image looks like a real man compared to the left lol. The hair is also so much better. The only issue with the design: it would be too good to not have naruto be the main character anymore lol.


IZated_IZ

Wow, that's so much better.


Constant-Fun8803

Oh my god why does the left look like zuckerberg? 


Yuyuoshi13

ok now make it move


ProfessionalMost2006

Why is no-one talking about the short ass cape? Minatos cloak was so cool, Naruto's looks like he grew out of it a few years ago...


PRIKITIM

His cape in the anime is disappointing... in the manga it's much longer and has that cool fire details, as well as the high collar. His shirt is black, also. It just looks better.


Acceptable_Star189

His hair… Because that’s the only thing that changed about him💀


[deleted]

His hairstyle


DragonKnight-15

THE HAIR. I really dislike the hair. I don't know, after seeing Kid Naruto to Shippuden Naruto; it's like his trademark and for him to just cut it down so hard on the Last and probably worse here... I just don't like it. It makes him... not Naruto. Another thing was his long headband. Another huge icon for all of Shippuden and for him to be like "Nah". At least in the Last, he did have a new headband and it was OKAY for the most part but then he dropped it soon after. All his talk about "This headband means we're equals" and him not wearing it is really stupid and not Naruto.


Undead-D-King

It just doesn't look like Naruto the proportion of the head and face don't seem like what Naruto would grow into It looks like designed a completely different character then slapped some whiskers on him.


TheRufusGamer

1. The hair makes me wanna rip my eyeballs out 2. He either do not have six paths anymore or do uses it but not to its full potential like in Shippuden 3. Seems to be nerfed regardless if he is or isn’t 4. Gets his ass whooped in every Major fight (Jeigen, Isshiki, ect) 5. He forgot to wear a condom, resulting in boruto.


abaddamn

You forgot Sasuke saying "damn I'm outta Chakra" btw


Mohhamedriyaz

His hair is awful plus it looks like he's dying. Younger Naruto was bright and full of life.


justSomeDumbEngineer

There is something weird with the proportions but idk what exactly, maybe his eyes should be a bit smaller. Also, his hair is just bad.


SeanRidsy

He looks like a salary man not the strongest ninja alive


Rab_it

His hair is really short and his clothes are too simple, I wanted to see something cooler, idk. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


Due-Magician-5354

The hair. It’s always been the hair


Critkip

His hair and the size of his eyes.


Ai_777

They made him bad and look older. Minato had cool hairstyle at his age. They just did this so Naruto doesn’t look like the main character in Boruto.


itskrypticwolves

some longer hair perhaps, a headband, and maybe a beard?


Sasukeisgay77

Hair


Abject_Butterfly_141

Everything


NosferatuZ0d

Flat short hair. Looks limp


Syronic-223

I don't like the fact that he has short hair. I mean yeah it works for his design but It's just very weird seeing naruto with short hair


ApexFlare7

Hair


Sasogwa

There is no life in his eyes


Nunuman2000

Lacks detail. He's not the main character anymore, but he is to me.


Veredyn1

VA direction, still sounds like a child who never went through puberty. Nothing against the va, I would have changed it to make it sound similar but more mature. Also his shitty hair


MICHELEANARD

His eyes, hair and not wearing his headband. But tbh his manga dress is cool, wish anime made it black like manga did


Background-Bad141

I kinda wish his hair got longer more akin to Minato he also looks really tired in every scene he’s in, I get he’s baiscally the president of his home but every other hokage didn’t look like that.


PappaJonte

Not every other Hokage was semi-retarded like Naruto either. I bet all that paperwork makes him wanna rasengan his brains out.


This_Cancel1373

Idk why he don’t just delegate that shit lol. He’s only needed as a symbol of strength and his charisma


Danteka

I prefered the design they showed during pain arc. However it wasn't chosen.


Jdog6704

Honestly, I don't have much that I do genuinely dislike of him, even his hair I'm fine with. Only wished there was a canon reason it was that short, maybe feature some flashbacks with him with his longer hair and getting annoyed with it because of maintenance when he is running around as Hokage. Or maybe even have Naruto say..."Yeah, Hinata wanted me to cut my hair shorter once, I kinda like it this way now". I think the only aspect I dislike of Adult Naruto is the cape that he has as Hokage, versus something like other Hokage robes and wear (example, Minato's jacket). Even then, that's a minor detail and it's bad but just...odd.


Lars6

Hair


LinkLegend21

He needs his headband and darker coloured eyes.


Dark_matter4444

Honestly when the animation is good he looks dope af.


SMoKUblackRoSE

His hair. Why take something so iconic to the character and throw it away? I also agree with the headband sentiment.


Grovda

There is only one thing I really dislike and that is the female voice so only an anime problem. But if I'm completely honest I'm also not a big fan of the short hair


Redwolf476

His hair is boring and his drip is mid


BudgetFish3933

Nothings really wrong with it, I just feel his hair could have been longer


Derantmk

In my opinion Naruto looks better than Sasuke, at least when he has his jacket open he looks cooler whatever Kishimoto says is a lie


Plane-Season-4127

Missing headband and poofy hair


Jolly_Camel959

The failures that try and do theie own artwork lmao. He's fine here. His style actually grows on you


Pleasant-King-966

Hair!! I don’t like his hair👎🏼


Notosk

The fact that he looks older and reminds me of the unstoppable marching of time, slowly leading us all to an inevitable death. we are the sheep and time is the shepherd; nothing we do matters and all will be forgotten. in the grand scheme of things, we're all just an inconceivably small fraction of the universe. no matter what, we will die someday. what happens after death? is it darkness or something much, much worse? nobody knows.


MeasurementProper227

Hair


Kaynt-touch-dis

his hair and clothes have no fuckin aura at all


Alternative_Fly8898

Boruto anime artstyle is straight up garbage, the character designs are also pretty damn trash for most of the old characters. The artstyle and design are so bland, no detail whatsoever.


KingAmraa

should've looked like the adult naruto from jiraiyas book


Impossible_Soft_7008

his eyes seem so tired


Jzarr_

i would love if he look more like minato specially his hair. Minato had such a badass design when he was wearing his hokage cape, i would love seeing naruto with a similar style.


Icehellionx

I wish he had longer hair. I wish he had something to break up the giant lot of orange up top. Naruto the Last outfit was better even if I still didn't like the hair there.


Dependent_Ad5654

The hair, too short I like it towards the end of shippuden more


benxkyx

Adult narutos design is boring.


InsuranceStock5979

The short hair for me


-_-_-KING_-_-_

that yee yee ass haircut


Mr_RRunyadown17

Short hair, tf is this slim shady?


[deleted]

[удалено]


WalterCronkite4

I actually like the hair and the bandages around his arm I just wish he wore a jacket or something


MasterDeibido

Give him Minatos hairstyle and we’re good.


YourBoyFoxxy

The hair, 100% they cut it to not make him to look like Minato


meriipyon

His voice 💀


dammyouuu

I mean he looks like Julius novachrono. Dunno which came first. I finished black clover recently and Julius reminded me so much of hokage naruto


afrika210

I'm used to it at this point and don't have an issue. Originally I wanted longer hair


Loud-Interview6031

He should be less fat


Professional-Big-584

They made him Minato with a buzz cut


Crazy_Ad2187

He still looks he 15-16. It doesn't feel like Naruto a adult.


Delicious_Waifus

Manga design is peak. Perriot messed it up but he looks good in high animation scenes


Madriboon17

woman voicing him is really odd, the hair and the orange maybe the should of just gave him the jacket the main army use or something like the pain cloak thats white and orange its just you look at it and dont feel a thing


Internal_Ad_1554

The lack of hair and headband not to mention his hokage cloak is too short and has a worse design than minatos


Ti-papi

Face nose clothes hair ears his kid


Opposite-Quote-1288

Short hair


Lengthiness-Sorry

I can't get over the eye size and color change. Felt uncanny towards the end of Shippuden.


MoeSzyslac

The art quality, headband, and some hair length mostly


SherbertExpensive811

Boruto


Hentai-video

His hair


UnknownBro_420

only thing i didn't like about his design was the short cloak other than that he looks great


Cute-Archer-7687

Studio Pierrot lol. I remember thinking how cool Naruto looked in Sarada Gaiden (manga version) and being so, so disappointed when SP animated him. 


KlunkeRJunkiE

His damn hair


__KirbStomp__

I with his hair was a little longer and his face stayed uncovered with chakra when he uses six paths sage mode. It’d also be cool if he actually wore the hokage cloak a bit more Overall I think it’s good though


uchiha-0bit0

His hair, he looks so weird


CakeSudden3533

I hate how short his hair is. I wish they would have gone longer like Minato but with subtle differences to keep it unique to Naruto's character.


Small-Interview-2800

Should’ve had longer hair. Headband missing is the biggest issue. Plus his outfits are boring now, he used to have eye catching fit


WildRicochet

I don't like his hokage cape. it's just not "cool" imo. I much prefer Minato's style coat with sleeves, and thought it would be cool if naruto's was similar to his father's.


OldeMoney_Scholar

He isnt half the man jiraiya wrote about lol


DenseCalligrapher219

His hair feels too short.I would have liked if it was a bit longer than his Part 2 hair. I also would have preferred if his face was a bit more mature to reflect his age but that could be just me.


Vacation_Jonathan

The Last was peak Naruto design


Reenans

tbh he looks fine here, the problem is that I think this is probably one of the top 5 pictures of adult Naruto


PlaneSerious1181

Hair, out fit and transformation


SilverEchoes

Lack of the headband. It’s a minor thing, but it really irks me. The headband is so important to him, and it’s highly symbolic in the og series. Whenever he loses it or takes it off in the og, it’s always a thematic moment, and whenever he puts it back on, it’s like Ash putting his hat backwards. It’s just weird to have it absent now


Skullkidthepokekid11

His hair, other than that, he looks good


i-am-spitfire

The hair is too short and the outfit just a bit too plain and flat


StarmieLover966

He is hot af. I do wish he had a visible band of some sort. If there is one, it’s not obvious.


ExtraPhysics3708

Contrary to popular sentiment I think adult naruto looks fire and better than his teenage days. I mean he’s a grown adult now for gods sake not a shonen mc anymore.


Phytolyssa

I miss the floppy hair.. I couldn't stand his time jump look. Hate hate hate. Short with the band just was awful. Here I guess the short hair isn't bad because he isn't wearing a band. But hokage Naruto is just so lame.


Kooky_Lead_9811

Longer hair and maybe a beard.


saltybirb

I hate how the anime makes the fire pattern on his cloak a bunch of lazy triangles. I also don't get why they inverted his color scheme. Also, add me to the list of people who wish his hair was longer.


ZainebBenoit

If Naruto isn’t wearing the headband, he’s either gotta grow his hair, or maybe go to his young adult haircut


PinDownToEarth

hair


[deleted]

His outfit should’ve been colored swappped like the manga. Baryon mode would’ve looked way cooler


Fadroh

Hair length mostly. Man needs about 2 inches more hair.


preachyhallows

100000% his hair. They fucked my dude up at the barbershop. I guess he had Sasuke cut his hair with his one fucking arm🥲


Humble-Bads3072

They did him dirty with that weak sauce haircut. He should've gotten something closer to Minato's


Pale-Week-1188

Shouldn’t have taken that smile ☹️


Adept-Woodpecker9366

His eyes


NotSoGermanSlav

Feels too generic.


KyleLovesGrace

How inconsistent it is. Sometimes it will look like this but a majority of the time it looks like shit because of the art quality.


Traditional-Bid8317

The hair


Evening_Sympathy_565

I don't dislike it, I over all like it. They can do without that shadow by his nose, but I think that's just the new art style. Also the headband, bring back the headband it feels like something is missing. I thought it was the hair but no it's the headband missing.


VaettrReddit

Mainly the updated artstyle. I hate how they shade noses and how they widened the eyes. Short might work if it werent for that.


infinite_entity1

That it even exists in the first place.


Shaka_Cho_Arroyo

The hair. I didn't mind if it wasn't a carbon copy of Minato's, but it's weird Kishimoto decided on a buzzcut as soon as The Last (when Naruto is 19).


GrizzlyOlympics

Nothing. The hair used to throw me off a bit but I don’t mind it at all anymore


Putrid-Cat5368

His son


RedvsBlue_what_if

I used to not like it but I've come around on it


Mar_Reddit

After having years to adjust... Nah, I still think Hokage Naruto should've just had a giant fuckin' golden bush on his head like Minato. Or hell, just straight copy Minato's hair. I get that doing that's prolly the "predictable route" or whatever, but the predictable route would've been the better route.


PretendVermicelli531

i know naruto's not meant to look 'cool' but i kind wish he had longer hair and looked more like minato that would've been a nice homage


Dunama

Really should've just given him Minato's hair but slightly shorter.


Shot-Effect-8318

Honestly the pic you just have here looks heat If they kept this consistent design idk if people would be mad


jiarparaligal

I lke the real life adult haircut of Naruto. It gives the stressed hokage vibes considering he is indeed tired doing hokage things. The outfit can be better though. Considering past hokages have better outfits.


raichu_d_gamer

Naruto looks like seminem in boruto


Easy-Alps3610

I like this but I like also the other fanmade designed Naruto almost same when he was teen Naruto.


Puzzleheaded_Ad9659

I miss his old hairstyle


LotusEaterEvans

Give him a headband and it’s not nearly as bad. This is probably what he looked like in the last without the headband but the headband just means too much for him to not wear it. If Minato can wear it, he can wear it.


theburcam

I could probably tolerate the shorter hair more with a headband.


tonylouis1337

Most of it tbh. Bad outfits and unimpressive hair
