A bit of face distortion and I can label Ghost Hunt as the third season of Higurashi, after Manabi Straight.
As expected, Mai is not dead as yet. We also realize a very important clue to who Naru actually is and his purpose to come to Japan. Lin’s purpose with Naru is also addressed (well, hinted) too. There are tons of surprises in this episode and that itself is a major understatement!
Episode summary
Mai woke up screaming in terror until she was slapped by Ayako. As she woke up, she felt total fear as everyone came in to comfort her. Bou-san rushed in and asked her about the dream as Mai re-accounted it. Bou-san apologized for forcing her to remember it. Naru came in to give some red tea to Mai as she calmed down. The next day, Yasuhara proposed that it might be the spirit of Suzuki and the other assistant sending her a message of their impending death. In other words, it was telepathy. John mentioned whether the spirit liked young people, as all the caretakers who came one week ago were safe and were of middle-aged. The two missing people were young.
Naru then asked Ayako how much he could trust her and she replied first in annoyance about the lack of faith but corrected to say that she was confident of repelling spirits. He told Ayako to stay with Masako, John and Bou-san to protect Yasuhara, Mai protected by Lin while Naru has no defense. Lin immediately objected to it and tried to make other arrangements but it was all rejected by Naru as it was too dangerous. Lin continued to lecture Naru, saying how he would answer to the professor if anyone happened to him and told Naru not to make his parents worry. Naru told him that Lin could leave if he was not happy but Lin reminded him that he was here to supervise him, leaving Mai shocked. Yasuhara offered to leave in order to settle the situation.
Lin explained that the blueprint of the room seemed to be centered on a space in the middle of the house. Lin proposed that the rooms and walls were building out of this space, as Naru wondered what this unknown space that they could not reach was. Naru proposed that the space was not a hidden room but in fact a basement in order to hide something from others. Madoka and Yasuhara came over to give information once again through the window. Naru said that it was dangerous but Madoka said the surroundings were places where kids played and there were no missing children. They first informed that there were 12 chimneys when they viewed the house from outside when there were only 11 indoors. They also talked about the owner of the house being weak, having two servants.
The servants often complained that the room was extremely smelly and the name “浦户” (name on the note) was in fact his nickname. Mai was starting to freak out with the information, with Masako stepping in. She simply tapped on the shoulders of Mai, telling the spirit to move along as Mai returned to her senses. It seemed that it was the residue of memories by the maid in the dream. A loud sound emitted that was completely different as the lights went down. When it returned, a lot of words written in blood appeared everywhere and Naru asked Masako whether she was confident about suppressing the spirit in her.
Masako said she did but Mai stopped her, saying that Naru did not understand the feeling of death and that feeling in which you were carried off to die. Naru’s look at her seemed to imply that she said something really awful but Naru asked Lin to do a less reliable method which was to get the spirit out in the open through a ritual. As the ritual started, Suzuki appeared and it seemed that she had not realized that she had died. Naru asked whether the name “浦户” had anything to do with her disappearance as she seemed stressed. Naru asked the last question on where she was when prompted by Lin, as she pointed at the wall.
Bou-san realized that “浦户” (Urado) was in fact Vlad or Dracula. Mai started to freak out with vampires, but Naru told her that there was no living person who would suck blood. His Romanian surname Drăculea (transliterated as “Dracula” in foreign languages of the historical documents where his name is mentioned) is a diminutive derived from his father’s title Dracul and means “Son of the Dragon” but also could mean “demon”. He was an all conquering warlord who was sadistic to impale his victims and enemies onto stakes, leaving them to die. The master of this house, being a well traveled man, would have read the novel before.
The novel Dracula was often related to Countess Erzebet Báthory, who believed that by soaking herself into the virgin blood of women, she would retain her beauty. Urado probably admired those of good health and wanted such sacrifices to extend his life instead. The note that said “everyone who came in died” was perhaps a message for others who were about to come. It also seemed that people from the hospital, people of his clan were not spared for his aim to stay healthy even if it was a futile attempt. It was proposed by Bou-san and Ayako then that the son of the master realized the atrocities of his father and tried to seal the place by making a whole maze around that area. Naru added that the man was probably still somewhere around, trying to grab people to extend his life in the spiritual form.
The next day, they went to check out the blank space in the map where the thickest chimney was, and it seemed that there was a hidden path behind the wall where a dead body of the missing person two months ago was found. A conference was set up, as Naru broke the news to Igarashi as she tried to disbelieve it. However, Naru proved beyond doubt that the body found was behind thick walls and it was nearly impossible for the body to be there. Igarashi tried to ask Davis for help but it seemed that Dr Davis was a fake and he was asked by Minami to help. Eventually, they rushed out. Naru then told everyone to pack up as this place would not be possible to exorcise.
Thoughts
To start off, there are a few parts that I am unable to translate effectively, but 90% of the summary should be close to spot on. I think my Chinese is getting a little rusty with all the complex words used. Ha Ha.
One thing I liked about Ghost Hunt is definitely the fact about referencing real people who have links with the paranormal. This episode is no different as they stated about the common Vlad III the Impaler as well as a lesser known Countess Erzebet Báthory. That point is not lost to me, which I think is a very strong point of Ghost hunt. I also like the idea how the ghost hunters explored the possibility that the people died due to being envious of health.
First and most importantly, we learn a lot of new things about Naru, even revealing a lot of this mysterious man. First, Lin addressed his father as professor, which I speculate to hint at Dr Davis. It will make sense since Naru has been looking at the man with the “HAH, I know you are fake” look most of the time when Naru is seen after an introduction of Davis in the previous two episodes. It does point to the fact that Naru is in fact the son of Dr Davis.
However, that is not all. It’s also hinted in Lin’s lines that he is in fact here for a mission and that is in fact to test his abilities in Japan. This will also explain why Naru is in fact not well versed in Japanese due to the fact that he has been overseas for a while. This, by the way, assumes that the professor is in fact Dr Davis, but I presume it is for now. With that assumption set in place, that will also mean that Naru’s mom HAS TO BE JAPANESE. I do not know what the implications of this is, but I think that it does open out a whole lot of mysteries on his parentage.
Warning: I might have misinterpreted the two since they did not exactly state that his parents is a professor but the information went on two different lines.
Lin is in fact one of the caretakers of Naru to supervise and monitor his progress as a ghost hunter. My next question will hence be an interesting one. Does Madoka know Dr Davis? The obvious answer is yes and I believe that she is also someone who is closely related to his parents and perhaps the person who teaches Naru about Japanese culture.
Back on the speculations, it is obvious now the motivation of where the missing people have gone. However, I do wonder how they will close this case since it is totally impossible for them to really leave the scene. I mean, they have one whole episode to conclude this series and to me, it will be vehement if they do not resolve such a wonderful arc. I believe that the conclusion will have something to do with the whole demolition of the house, or perhaps that “empty space” that they noted. It is still curious on why Naru said they cannot get rid of the spirits in this case.
This episode also deals with a rather philosophical situation. It is perhaps the quest of eternal life, the promise of utopia corrupting the minds of man. It is a very sad tale as you think of how desperate this man got while attempting to find a way to improve his health. He even killed his own family, the people from the hospital in order to survive. Is it really that worthwhile to have eternal life at the expense of all? What is it all for since everyone will die? Isn’t it ironic that he has gained eternal life of sorts but he cannot even rest after dying?
I do have many other thoughts but I prefer to leave others to explore them for themselves. Very good arc, definitely the best arc cemented by this episode. I want the conclusion soon!

@ cat : “if shibuya kazuya isn’t naru’s real name, how’d he get cursed the other time? i think it was ep 8. using enmi probably requires the full name of a person.”
You’ve forgotten a key part of the curse in the spoon-bending case. It is *not* necessary to have the victim’s name in that type of curse. A description of the person is sufficient to identify the victim. If you remember, the girls who were dragged by getting caught in the train were not cursed by name but because they were sitting at the specific desk. The curse was on the desk not on the person. Therefore it is not necessary to have the person’s name to have a curse on the person.
One thing the anime added from the manga was the scene in the hospital where the teacher tried to curse Naru a second time. That scene didn’t happen in the manga. Also in the manga, we are never shown a curse doll with the name Shibuya Kazuya on it. There is no definitive evidence that the teacher used the name Shibuya Kazuya in her attempt to curse Naru.
I believe that the teacher used a description of Naru, something like the boss of the investigators, to make her curse doll of Naru. That would be sufficient to send the curse after Naru.
I do not believe that Naru’s real name is Shibuya Kazuya. I also don’t believe that Narumi Kazoa (or whatever fake name he’s using in this case) is his real name either. If Naru has been using a fake name like Shibuya Kazuya for at least a year, I don’t see why he would suddenly use his real name this time. I think Narumi is just as made up a name as Kazuya is.
“but if shibuya kazuya isn’t naru’s real name, how’d he get cursed the other time? i think it was ep 8. using enmi probably requires the full name of a person. ”
Wasn’t Mai the one who was cursed? He was injured/involved only because he was trying to save her.
Actually now that I’ve thought about it, he was cursed and ended up staring at the female ghost all night, wasn’t he? *smacks head* Faulty memory…
But names are something that one identify one with. So if everyone thinks of Naru as Shibuya, and Naru himself thinks of himself as Shibuya, I think maybe the curse will work as well. Not knowing much about curses, I can’t say.
On the other hand, maybe Naru knows that Shibuya wasn’t his real name, so the ghost wouldn’t be able to truly hurt him, which is why he is so calm about it. Just a thought.
(I’m unconvinced either way, actually. On one hand I think Narumi may truly be his real name; on the other Cat has such a convincing evidence that says otherwise…)
“yeah i guess that’s true, chicken passeth by. but if shibuya kazuya isn’t naru’s real name, how’d he get cursed the other time? i think it was ep 8. using enmi probably requires the full name of a person.”
Not really – since the teach was perfectly able to curse “anyone sitting at table A”. I have read about such talisman curses in Chinese lore – and IIRC you CAN curse someone through a commonly used nickname or false name, rather than his real name – tho using the real name works better.
This explains why the sickle wielding spirit didn’t even try to touch Naru – Naru was a direct target with a different real name, so all the spirit could do was glare menacingly at him. In comparison, the same curse, with Mai’s real name, affected Mai *PHYSICALLY* as the ghost child tried to pull her into the drain.
(Luckily it would seem the sensei, expert as she is, didn’t quite know she can put curses on everyone in the party without even going through the trouble of getting to know them. She could put a curse on “That Monk Guy”, “The Priest”, or “The Entire Kazuya Research Party” for example, and it would *just work*.)
maybe Naru has been in an unfortunate adventure in the past. Taking the family part along, maybe he almost died but his mother saved him and died instead. And I also think it wasn’t Naru’s real name.
btw, LOVE the anime
ARIGATOU! no, seriously.
Uwa, 105 comments, and I read it all xD You guys have interesting ideas. I’m not going to go into Naru’s parents or Naru’s real name or anything, but I just found it funny how the fake Davis starts speaking English and everyone automatically understands him. Are they all pro at English now? xDD
Oh ya! Now that you said it, it is probably a little problematic. I will expect them to at least have an expression of “HUH!!! What the hell is he saying” RATHER than knowing it.
I guess that is because I am too used to code switching that I miss this fact. That is probably the dissonance that some of the others experienced
Hmm, I wonder if anyone went like @_@ after listening to Raymond speak since my knowledge is that most Japanese suck at English big time.
@13sugars: well, since he’s fake, it doesn’t really matter whether he’s english or american… he never spoke loud enough for anyone other than Minami to hear him previously anyway.
@bellie: can you say harry potter any more loudly? lol.
@Briar: maybe we can think up a list of western names that “Naru” might be a nickname for?
Yeah! I mean, I can understand Naru knowing what he said, if only a bit, and then maybe Lin, too, but for everyone else? Most Japanese do suck at English, unless they spent some time overseas or are learning it harcore xD
That voiceover is isane, which was how I noticed it xD It’s actually the same English-speaking person saying the Japanese lines as well, ne? I could hear the English in the accent.
@ noblsheep : “maybe we can think up a list of western names that “Naru
~Madhatter~ ^^ It’s nice to know that you like GH just as much as we do here. Also, your perspectives on it are really interesting. It’s nice to know what the opposite sex think. And yes, I like your speculations! This just proves that great minds think alike! ^^ (lol j/k)
Btw, it’s not weird for a guy to comment/like an anime love couple. As a matter of fact, in my opinion, guys like that are adorable, especially when they get scared a little too. It sometimes brings out women’s protective instincts. And besides, you’re a Mai x Naru love-love supporter. Everyone certainly understands. ^^
~Noblsheep~ ^^ I thought it was cute to address it as kitten-fights what with the two of them being so cute and all. Of course, Mai is way cuter! She’s the only kitten for Naru.
As for the voiceover, that’s the thing for me. I almost didn’t think about it but the accent-thing jerked my mind to think, “Whoa, he just spoke in a different language but with an American-accent!
@ Naru x Masako is not a delusion. It’s the truth and nothing but the truth! Wahahahahaha!
On 13sugars’s comment about Naru, I think rather than being dense (he’s definitely extremely sensitive toward others), it’s more like he does not know how to handle girls. In fact, I think he has little exposure toward gals and the only few (the one that he is close to) is Madoka. Hah, he is like totally owned by her too.
Urado possessing one of his descendants will make logical sense, though i still believe that he is in a total spiritual form rather than possessing someone.
To all, I have just added a “Top commentor list” at the sidebar for a bit of ego-boost and encourage others to comment more too. The official site news will appear in my saimono post too
It will also be reseted every month, ahaha~
OMG! My face hit my laptop screen so bad that my front teeth actually hurt…
I shall rephrase it then. In my humble opinion, due to the fact that Naru has very little exposure to matters of the heart and girls like Mai, he has very little knowledge of how to express his true feelings when it comes to dealing with such affections other than his somewhat surrogate mother, Madoka. ^^
But yes, Madoka owns him.
Btw, is the Top Commentor list, an overall account of THAT Anime Blog’s commentors’ comments?
If so, then…Dang! I do go to this place way more than an average blog-viewer should. (lol) Maybe that is unhealthy and I should try to lessen my visits. Or maybe I should change my nickname now and then…My teeth hurts. (sighs)
And yes, Masako x Naru love is a delusion. Impz, you are delusional
. As for what your-so-called ego-boost, it can actually be termed as bribery (lol 
), which actually makes me think that you can probably be just as twisted as I am. I’m just a lot sweeter though. ( ^^ j/k)
Truthfully though, that list is a very sweet way to let us, commentors alike, know that we are appreciated. So thanks.
13Sugars: Hahaha I don’t think you’re the top commentator in the blog, I probably have more comments than you. That top commentator list probably only counts comments from when it was started.
In my very humble opinion, I really really doubt that Naru is really narcisstic. I mean, after all that is what Mai calls him. And if you think about it, Naru is simply confident in what he is good at, and he knows what he is good at. I don’t think he’s in love with himself. Besides, let’s recall. Why did Mai call him a narcissist? She commented to him that he’s good-looking, good at what he’s doing and something else (I forgot). When someone cute (as in Mai) tells you you’re good looking, what would your response be? Naru is certainly not a humble person, but perhaps his response is because he’s slightly embarassed and can’t think of anything better to say? Remember he also turned away when he said that. So after which Mai concluded that he’s a narcissist so that she comes out with the nickname for him. (I honestly think it’s just an excuse for the author to use the nickname Naru)
And I have to agree with thirteensugars that Naru probably doesn’t know how to interact with girls as smoothly as that other smart aleck kid whathisname?
And I have a theory! Maybe Naru himself have a crush on Mai??? After all, she practically ignored him on their first meeting, while her other classmates were like trying to get his attention, and he didn’t like that?
Hey, my name’s up there!
“@Briar: maybe we can think up a list of western names that “Naru
@alkanphel: To correct alkanphel, it is for this month only.
The counter will reset every month.
@Lys: No, Mai is having a crush on Naru but Naru is fated to be with Masako. Smart aleck kid = you mean Yasuhara? I mean Yasuhara is good with Mai, much better fit imho.
I seconded your thoughts that Naru is hardly a narcissist. His actions proved that he’s hardly someone who cares that much about his appearance.
Naru is Naru!alright!
*ThirteenSugars-I’m expecting your the number one of Impz’s list of top commentors!he said it will be post soon!as for the our Belgium chocolates!I think they put lots,lots,lots of sugar in it!what do you think?hehehe
*D.J-whats up?
*Madhatter-I was just trying!
I have to disagree with you Impz. Naru is fated to be with Mai. Come to think of it, why don’t you like Naru x Mai? Well, besides the fact that Masako is pretty cute too, but so is Mai. And Naru and Mai has got so much more chemistry that Naru and Masako!
First of all, WOW! I hadn’t been able to visit for a couple of days due to crappy internet connection and when i come back, it’s 119 comments! amazing!
About Shibuya Kazuya not being Naru’s real name, if it really isn’t, how come that he was still haunted by that vengeful spirit? Wouldn’t it only be effective if your name was used? Maybe Shibuya Kazuya is his Japanese name or perhaps if he were adopted, it could be his adopted name or his pre-adopted one… Then again it could be an alias to hide his true identity, a famous one?
“Not really – since the teach was perfectly able to curse “anyone sitting at table A
Wow it went comment crazy in here!
@na2niet, Alas I have caught my third cold in the last 3 months, I am sick of being sick. Other than that nothing too much, what’s up with you? But I did get to go to a RedWings game for my birthday so this weekend hasn’t been all bad.
@Thirteensugars, “(sighs) I’m so jealous. I want my own hubby-sama/bodyguard/servant.”
I hope one day you get one! ^-^ I earn mine through the cooking, cleaning and laundry. He does take care of the yard though, and the dogs ears, since our Labbu’s have icky ears right now.
Hmm I don’t think I can think of one western name that you might shorten down to Naru. I thought that maybe if dream Naru was a twin, then maybe it was the twin’s name. But that doesn’t make sense since Madoka calls him Naru.
Or perhaps it was his twin’s pet name for him (if dream Naru is his twin).
Dream Naru could very well be just a figment of Mai’s imagination so to speak. Basically her mind conjured him up to aid her in comprehending her dreams. The human brain does this all the time, when faced with something it isn’t sure of, it will do its best to make sense of it.
“Dream Naru could very well be just a figment of Mai’s imagination so to speak. Basically her mind conjured him up to aid her in comprehending her dreams. The human brain does this all the time, when faced with something it isn’t sure of, it will do its best to make sense of it.”
Yep, that would be my backup theory.
If Real Naru isn’t Dream Naru, then Dream Naru must be a figment of Mai’s imagination. And it’s significant that she conjured up NARU would at that time when she first dreamt of him, she didn’t really like a lot. Which also supports my theory of Mai x Naru, because that means that Mai is fated to be together with Naru, right from the beginning. 
*Briar-you are indeed a big fan of Naru x Mai!yes they were fated to be together as anime always like that!except I guess for Ryuuki & Shuurei?most of the fans believed always in destiny,as they called it so!thats why we always like to have a perfect pair of characters!but how about,if we refer it in realistic views!not all people have their happy ending!thats what I find the Saiunkoku most interesting one!because I do always not believed of what they called fate!
as for Mai X Naru fan,don’t get angry!I do like Mai also for Naru!
~Alkanphel~ Had your comment been a dare/challenge from another commentor to be the top commetor for the next month (I’m too lazy to add the ‘ta’ in the word ‘commentor’ to make it ‘commantator.’ ^^), I would’ve taken you on. But the fact is, you don’t really count since you’re one of THAT’s bloggers just like Impz is. And I’d also like to point out that you’re ahead of me by how many months. ^^
Plus, my going and commenting here is probably becoming an unhealthy habit for an average blog-viewer. Hmmm, maybe I’m obsessed or maybe I’m harboring a secret crush on THAT Anime Blog itself that I myself don’t realize. (lol j/k)
~Lys~ I respectfully disagree on your first comment. There was an episode (I can’t remember which one) where Ayako made a move on Naru to which he responded that he is only used to looking at the mirror, or something like that. And though he may not be a total narcissist, he certainly is a little bit of that. And Mai, with her more-than average sensitivity and perceptivity (and that sweet bond that ties her to Naru), came to a conclusion that Naru, perhaps, is a little bit of a narcissist, but not a cold-hearted person, from the moment she met him, thus the pet/nickname she gave him which coincidentally happens to be his, or at least one of them, real name.
And if you’re referring to Yasuhara, I certainly agree that he is smoother when it comes to dealing with “flirting.
“where Ayako made a move on Naru to which he responded that he is only used to looking at the mirror, or something like that. And though he may not be a total narcissist, he certainly is a little bit of that. ”
I was under the impression that he was joking, though, albeit in a very dead pan way.
~Briar~ (lol) You may be right, but I guess we’ll never really know. ^^
I felt the same way that Naru is joking, but as we all know, Naru is a really bad joker.
@13sugars: The naruto thread are writing a lot as usual. Very scary, ahaha~. I do not dare to go in since I know little about Naruto. I leave that to alkanphel to deal with it.
@Cat: I like your idea and it’s possible if Dr Davis is his father. He is hence like mixed blood since he looked distinctly Japanese. Interesting.
@Briar, YAY GO MAI x NARU! Hopefully by the end of this we’ll get some conformation about the theories we all have. But yea if her unconscious mind is conjuring up images of a nice Naru then on some level she really likes him. Despite what she says in reality! ^-^
Now on the current topic…
I don’t think Naru is much of a narcissist either. I do think he has poor people skills though.
No wait I take that back, in the first episode he was very good at manipulating those girls to get information. LOL the only one who didn’t fall for his charms is Mai.
Hmm I guess instead what I should say is, that if he knows someone on a superficial level he can communicate very easily with them. Because there is no real relationship there, its easy for him. And he doesn’t really have to reveal too much about himself.
Its when he gets to know someone on a more intimate level he seems to have some difficulties. He’s particularly closed up about himself.
Although one telling thing for me that he likes Mai is the fact he does seem to take pleasure in teasing her. ^-^ And he is starting to open up to her a little bit and show her more of his emotional side. Such as the coin trick, and the smile. I think Naru feels, more than he lets on, he just keeps a tighter rein on his emotions than most of us do.
Aah, I’m babbling, must stop…
@ThirteenSugars, well in that case I will just wish for your continued happiness! ^-^
Oh Impzy, you are going to LOVE episode 21.
wow guys wt a gr8 comments oh my god i read all of them in one time, 13 sugar, DJ,cat,briar,na2niet, alllll gr8 comments and really really interesting, just want to say smthin tht just popped in my head. do u remember in ep.1 wn masako asked naru if she saw him b4, and he said no, well maybe she saw his twin brother once, which adds to the reality tht naru really had a twin, and tht he (naru) was with his brother wn he died.^__^ (hehe a wild thought)
@13suger, um with u allll the way NaruXMai forever
sorry which CONFIRM the reality tht……..
@laboosh.
You,know that is a very good point! And it definetely adds credence to the theory of Naru having a twin.
*laboosh* arigatu!yes!I remember that one hah!it seems that Masako already saw Naru before!quite like that!yah! your very good in remembering scenes!I think I have to consider 13sugars idea,its also possible!that Naru has a twin or a brother?
hmmm very interesting!so what would be the kind of Naru’s twin or brother?a bad one or a good one?if he has twin or brother?As I know mostly in anime the who’s fighting each other is either a brother to brother /sister to sister!I mean mostly of the enemies are related to the mean character!thats anime alright!
And there’s some more most of the anime mean character,loses their parents?
*D.J* where did you find ep 21 of GH?alstublijt!I couldn’t find it!your making me nervous!I am very curious who is the monster?culprit or devil? or dracula!whatever!pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
*D.J*If you won’t tell me!at least you tell me how to have voodoo!I like to be expert on it!from now own!hek
Of course that Mai got the dream by being possessed by a dead maid explains why there was no Dream Naru in the dream. It was not an exercise of her psychic power and hence didn’t fit the pattern of her psychic dreams.
@na2niet, I usually catch them on youtube as they come out. And then later download them so I can rewatch in better quality and see if I can catch anything I missed.
But I couldn’t possibly say anything or that would spoil it for everyone.
I will just say that I really enjoyed the episode. It maintains the scare factor of the previous episodes and well as I said Impzy is going to love it.
Voodoo? You could always read up on it on wiki. Although I wouldn’t mess with those kinds of things, it can be very dangerous! After my friends experiences I stay away from things like Ouja boards, voodoo and the like.
And it would be very bad to curse someone in case they send it back to you.
@David. You know I think that is the best explanation yet as to why Dream Naru wasn’t present when she was possessed.
~Impz~ Ah, oh well. At least we, commentors, tried. Had I not dropped Naruto then, I would probably be one of the ‘Narutards’ there. ^^ But I’m much happier being a GH-fanatic now.
~DJ~ I actually find myself agreeing with your comment of Naru being too careful to show his true feelings, especially to Mai. After all, if our assumption that someone close to Naru had died, his reaction of not wanting to get too close to another person and his cautious show of feelings to that person would actually make sense.
As for your, “Oh Impzy, you are going to LOVE episode 21,
So does liking Naruto make a me a Narutard? Even I’m scared of posting in the Naruto sections, its really scary in there. I prefer the intelligent conversations going on in here.
@ThirteenSugars, we can wave the Mai x Naru banner anyway, and there is definetely a lot of cute involving Mai and Masako. I won’t say any more in case I spoil things.
~DJ~ (lol) I’m sorry if my statements sounded a bit offensive like that. That’s not what I meant to say. ^^ What I meant to say is that, had I not stopped watching Naruto, I’d probably be just as addicted and as scary as most of the Narutards out there dropping tons of comments of whatever Naruto thread there is.
Come to think of it, I haven’t even set my eyes in the Naruto thread. Maybe this is a good time to do that just to see how scary it really is since you and Impz seem to claim it is so.
As for episode 21, I’ve already acquired and I’ve been contemplating whether I should watch it before SaiMono 39 or not for the last oh, 30 minutes or so?
(I’m really praying that this anime will also have a second season.)
*D.J~ thank you for reminder,I’m scare of what you said!so its kind of pretty to practice voodoo, don’t worry I’m not a witch,though I was trying,Dracula would fine!hek!
*13sugars~I have watched ep 21 at youtube,waaaalaaa!jeez its pretty interesting????????
*laboosh~ thanks for the site! you mean 13sugars?right?
*Impz~ as always were counting on your summary that explain what we don’t understand!I guess I have to go to Japan,to study Japanese!hmmmm (hek)
has anyone,who can give me little detail about Naruto?
Unlike Saimono that has a huge stack of material, Ghost Hunt is unlikely to see 26 episodes. I will be surprised to see any second season for it, as much as I hope for it. It’s probably the kind of show that will be sweet with simply 26.
that said,I finally got my hands on Ghost Hunt Episode 21!
just finished ep 21. scared the wits out of me at one point. can’t wait to see what Impzy has to say about it!
*”go Impz” banner waving*
Hmmm, I think I’ll wait for Impz’s entry to come out and save my comment/rant/thunder till then. ^_-
@na2niet, well being a witch isn’t so bad if you are a good witch ^-^ People think bad things of Wiccans mainly because of the salem Witch Hunts, but being a wiccan doesn’t necessarily make you evil.
But like I said with things like voodoo and the ouja you can put yourself in a dangerous situation. With the ouja board in particular, if you don’t know what you are doing you can leave yourself very vulnerable to evil spirits.
OFF TOPIC!!!!!
Hmm as for an explanation of Naruto. Its about ninjas. Naruto is a young ninja who dreams one day of being Hokage (the leader of Konohogakure – the village hidden in the leaves) he gets put in a team with the girl of his dreams and a boy from one of the clans most prestigious villages, Naruto is the idiot of the group and isn’t even close to the talent of his teammate Uchiha Sasuke. As for the girl Haruno Sakura, like most girls her age, all she can think about is Sasuke.
They go on missions, gain new jutsu’s (Special attacks they can peform) along with their team leader Hatake Kakashi. A former ANBU (elite ninja) and now a Jounin (high level ninja) when we first meet the kids they are Genin level.
Naruto will grow and become less of an idiot, Sakura will become stronger, no longer wanting to be rescued and having to see the backs of her teammates. Sasuke, well, who knows what’s going to happen to him.
Thats how the series starts off, I won’t spoil the rest if you want to check it out. I recommend the manga over the anime. The anime is pretty good, but the manga is better. Sasuke has a goal in life, and its this goal that is set to tear the team apart.
END OF OFF TOPIC
@ThirteenSugars, oh your comments didn’t sound offensive at all. You are right there are plenty of narutards out there, its why the Naruto threads are really scary and full of unintelligent conversation.
And I’m afraid anything intelligent in there gets lost underneath all the crappu.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, NARUTO!
*melts*
Honestly, the series is pretty decent when it started. I just got lost by the fillers.
I am also done with my ghost hunt post for ep 21!
NARUTO ROXX!!!
Hey Impz, maybe you will want to pick Naruto up now that the fillers have ended.
After all, you will have to find some animes now that Saimono is almost finished and Ghost Hunt has only 5-6 episodes to go. Or maybe… pick up Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto again? *hint hint*
And how did you get epi 21 so fast??? I’m pretty I’ll only be able to get it tomorrow. *cries*
“Naru’s look at her seemed to imply that she said something really awful” Doesn’t describe his look correctly. He looked like someone that died once and just remembered how he died!
Dr.Davis is not naru;s father he is naru himself
naru real name is oliver davis and dream naru is his dead twin
