You watch anime, not act it out. Thats like watching Looney Tunes and trying to hit everything with a massive mallet š

If it doesnāt works, you need to sharpen your hammer.
Rule 1: be attractive
Rule 2: donāt be unattractive
I have a theory that the Naruto run works as a placebo.
Placebo works like a mental buff, you believe more in yourself and perform better.
If you watch olympic sprinters, theyāre bent over to the same extent. Iām pretty drunk so this explanation might suck, but the front-heavy weight distribution that comes with it means its much easier to propell yourself forwards while sprinting.
Of course, you canāt hold your arms like that, it was just for ease of animation. But itās not 100% totally and all-consumingly bullshit. Just like. Mostly bullshit.
The Naruto run is not bullshit, unless you donāt believe in the other bullshit in the anime. To get to speeds where wind resistance makes any difference, you need to be running in the ballpark of the fastest running humans are capable of. Not the fastest per se, but the same ballpark. And even then, in the real world, itās only a minimal difference and the Naruto run is far from optimal. To make it necessary youād have to run faster than any human can, by a very large margin. Maybe even an order of magnitude faster.
However, in the anime, the ninjas ARE able to run that fast. So if you take into account the inhuman basically āmagicalā abilities of the in-universe runners, it would definitely benefit them to lean forward that much to reduce wind resistance. In many scenes they are moving so fast they will jump between trees for 4-5 seconds of airtime without losing altitude. Thatās fast. Not only would the Naruto run improve air resistance but it would also prevent you from flailing all over the place when you jump.
So anyway, thatās why you should definitely run like Naruto if you are running track in the 7th grade.
Isnāt that how Naruto wins the fights too? He just believes in himself and the power of friendship, so he gets stronger.
So anon is lore accurate
yeah but theres also a demon who gives him power in exchange for his soul
There was a video I watched years ago that had people run normal, the Naruto run.
Nonathletes were faster Naruto style, athletes were faster normal style.
They broke it down as if youāre not used to ācontrollingā your body for performance, forcing yourself into a weird form forces you to focus more so you donāt fall, so you get a bit more effort without realizing it.
One of my favorite project mates in college was a body builder. After working together for a while, he told me that he had a 2400+ arena rating in World of Warcraft and if I told anyone heād kill me.
This was in like 2010.
hopefully thereās a statue of limitations on this kind of thing or else you still might be in trouble
You broke rules 1 & 2
- Be attractive
- Donāt be unattractive
