General & Others Top 3 Naruto Arcs

[Light D Lamperouge]

Just as the title says, what are your top 3 Naruto arcs?

This is really difficult.

I think Land of Waves, Chunin Exam and SRA along with the Pein arc and the Itachi arc take it for me. Those are 5, duh, but if I really had to, I'd probably go with the first 3.


YOU CAN VOTE FOR 3 OPTIONS IN THE POLL.

Your thoughts?

Chunin Exams, Sasuke Recovery, Akatsuki

 

[ShiShiShi]

Chunin Exams were a classic. Gaara vs. Rock Lee is one of the fights I remember well. Naruto vs. Neji was one of those things that helped shape Neji’s character. …

Sasuke Recovery Mission. I assume this is the arc where Naruto fought Sasuke for the first time, right? Back when Sasuke was relying on his curse mark for power. The fight was great, emotional and it changed the series from then on.

Pain‘s Assault is probably the most famous arc in Naruto Shippuden. Jiraya’s death was tragic and you’d think that Pain would be one of those character you’d hate forever but Nagato‘s backstory changed my opinion of him. He’s one of those characters who suffered a lot, similar to Itachi.

I have to have the Pain Arc somewhere in my top 3.

After that, I'd say it's between a few others for the remaining 2 spots:
-Chunin Exams
-Tsunade Arc
-Sasuke Retrieval
-That entire sequence of mini arcs that included the Search for Itachi/Sasuke, Jiraiya vs. Pain, and Sasuke vs. Itachi. I kinda count it as one big thing

Honorable mentions to 5 Kage Summit & Naruto training to control Kyuubi Chakra.

EDIT: Wait wtf I forgot about Hidan and Kakuzu??? Fuck. Too many to choose.

Shows how much more I love Naruto compared to One Piece now

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

1. Pain's assault arc
2. Chunin Exams arc
3. Sasuke Recovery Mission
4. Konoha Crush arc
5. Kazekage Rescue arc

Chunin Exams - Good pacing and introduced so many characters that I loved.
Pain's Assault - Such a great villain and it truly felt like there was no way to win against him, plus Pain's villain pov makes sense. Really cool visually and a real page-turner.
Sasuke Recovery - Nice to see the abilities of the kids from the chunin exams being used all out. Sasuke's development, drunk Lee, Naruto's resolve and failure and new resolve--chef kiss

(Honorable mentions: Prologue Land of Waves, Tale of Jiraiya, Kakashi Gaiden)

 

[TheKnightOfTheSea]

Hmm I don't remember Naruto that well, but I'd say that Chunin and Sasuke Recovery would definitely be in my top 3, really unsure on what the third would be lmao.

 

[Kiiro]

Where Minato appears lol.

So, Pain saga, where Raikage chases Naruto and Bee, before the time skip where Minato was and still is stronger than Hashirama.

 

[lee33]

Damn this is hard. I really like the character driven arcs so this may change but I have:

1. Fated Battle Between Brothers Arc:
   1. I really like Itachi's whole backstory and how Tobi was the one to narrate it. The fight between Sasuke and Itachi was one of my fav in Naruto.
2. Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant Arc/Pain arc:
   1. They are technically different arcs but it's hard to separate the two since they both are so connected.
3. Five Kage Summit Arc:
   1. I don't know why but I just really like this arc. I liked how Sasuke went full evil and crashed the summit and seeing all the different Kages in one room.

Honorable mentions:

1. Kazekage Rescue Mission:
   1. Granny Chiyo is one of my favorite characters in Naruto so this arc is one of my favs.
2. Chunin Exams and Sasuke retrieval arc.

 

[Cruxroux]

- It won't be majority of the people favourite but Land of waves (Prolouge) It actually convinced me to watch remaining 500 episodes.
- Chunin exam
- Debatable between Pain assault and Five kage Summit.

 

[Natalija]

I can’t make my mind up at all

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Pain arc is my fav. Honestly hard to chose top 3 but the entire akatsuki arc is based

 

[Seven7]

Chunin exams
Pain arc
Sasuke recovery mission

HM
Land of waves arc (peak intro arc)
Kazukage rescue arc(Deidara and Sasori best duo)

 

[Thabeast]

So many great arcs. I think my favourites would be :
Sasuke Recovery mission
Pain arc
Chunin exams or sasuke vs itachi

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

I can’t make my mind up at all

I know right? It took me quite a while to narrow it down and even now I am not sure tbh.

 

[ZenZu]

I've never known the answer to this since some of those arcs felt more like a single fight rather than a traditional arc. But the peak stretch of Naruto for me is when it was essentially Sasuke shippuden, starting from Sasuke "killing" Orochimaru - Sasuke vs Danzo.

Naruto finally showed out in the Pain arc after a whole lot of nothing, Sasuke saved the series (Sasuke vs Orochimaru, Deidara, Itachi, Killer Bee, Danzo, an insane stretch of fights from him).

Top 3 big arcs
Pain invasion
Sasuke retrieval
Hidan/Kakuzu

 

[kom5]

Prologue
Chunin
Kakashi/Pain assault

These are the best arcs the rest is medicore

 

[soheilhazrat]

I love it all i cant but pain top 1

 

[Jiihad]

Ahh shit, I’d prolly go:

1. Wave Arc/Mission
2. When Sasuke kills Orochimaru/Start ofShippuden
