Grug · May 30, 2017

That is how my 18 month old son runs, it's freaking adorable.

kuYuri · May 30, 2017

It's the equivalent of putting airholes on your car bruh

13randO · May 30, 2017

Aerodynamics.

rackham · May 30, 2017

It doesn't seem very good for running. I don't run at super high speed but I'd think you'd run normally.

robotrock · May 30, 2017

naruto...in real life

Lulubop · May 30, 2017

I was that kid who ran like this in elementary school, my inspiration was Super Sonic however

Bobby Roberts · May 30, 2017

Kyzer · May 30, 2017

theyre running so fast their arms drag behind them

Sho_Nuff82 · May 30, 2017

Hands gotta be free for those ninjitsu signs, duh.

Puck Beaverton · May 30, 2017

I tried running like that one time and I came to that conclusion that

1. It didn't feel good on my arms
2. I felt like the biggest dork alive

Am I just a bad ninja or is there something I'm missing?

Elegant Weapon · May 30, 2017

I was that kid

Does this have a historical basis?

Were ninjas all weebs?

super-famicom · May 30, 2017

Running is for scrubs, its all about Shunkan Ido (Instant Transmission) or Shunpo (Flash Step)

vareon · May 30, 2017

It's easier to animate!

TheGeniusArcana · May 30, 2017

It's okay to call it the Naruto run

BreezyLimbo · May 30, 2017

it reduces air resistance because you make your body smaller

and you waste less energy on holding your arms next to you

I did this in middle school once(Before Naruto was a think, I learned my technique from...Bloody Roar, the ninja character >___>)

thinking back on it, I want to retroactively kill myself from embarrassment I did not feel that day.

avengers23 · May 30, 2017

True masters don't even have to move their legs.

SatoAilDarko · May 30, 2017

Admiral Woofington · May 30, 2017

rackham · May 30, 2017

Japanese samurai used to run weird too. I learned that in a movie called The Twilight Samurai

Jinfash · May 30, 2017

It's a trait of 16th century shinobis who's constant usage of paralytic weapons permanently damaged their arms.

According to Sengoku historians, they were also responsible for perfecting the stranger.

Tetsujin_MK · May 30, 2017

Keeping your arms that straight behind you actually seems really uncomfortable.

v1lla21 · May 30, 2017

I used to know a girl who'd run like that. She fell often and fucked her face up every time.

bloodforge · May 30, 2017

Pretty sure this would actually make you run slower.

Fuu · May 30, 2017

Saint Seiya was doing it years before Naruto.
