[spoilers] NOTE: This episode contains non-explicit nudity, and fighting involving blood. Naruto ep. 1 – Japanese! School: sensei = teacher 先生 sotsugyou = graduation 卒業 shikkaku = to fail 失格 goukaku = to pass 合格 Did you know? The word for “to pass” (goukaku) sounds like “go kaku,” or ‘five corners,’ so good luck charms for passing exams are often in the shape of pentagons! Why?! nande = why なんで doushite = why どうして Frequent: dame = no good/don’t ダメ gomen (nasai) = I’m sorry ごめん(なさい) Frequent Verbs: korosu = to kill 殺す yameru (yamete !) = to stop (stop it!) 止める (another way to say it: yamero ! = stop it!) matsu (matte !) = to wait (wait!) 待つ Did you know? In Japanese you can make a character sound distinct by having them end their sentences in a distinct way (such as Naruto’s “dattebayo,” translated as "believe it!"). Additional content notes [spoilers]: Min. 1 naked baby (no genitals); min 3. naked girl covered with clouds, nosebleed; min. 7 failing at school, reveal that a character is an orphan; min. 11 knife wound; min 13 "everyone hates you,” and a teacher gets injured; min. 20 blood from a fistfight Edit: This turned out to be a timely post!
