⭐Naruto Episodes 114-115: Watch Along & Analysis

Kat, Tat, This gets dark, it is tearfully sad, makes you see red in your anger, cry out in anguish and feel exhausted by the never ending battle. Finally it all culminates in the battle we have all been waiting for in an amazingly tragic climax. Oh, and that is just his arc. Ninja science with Graystar. Today's topic...Food Pills. Food pills are special ninja items that restore energy by packing a huge amount of ingredients used for such meals into a small, pill sized edible marble. The pills Choji ate are special, created by his clan. They each produce an exponentially greater amount of energy and chakra in the individual that eats them by burning excess materials already in the human body in exchange.It starts with your readily available energy, then moves onto potential energy. The difference is that while the readily available energy is present in your body already due to your body breaking down food to provide it, potential energy is stored in the food still waiting to be digested and turned into energy, as well as fat which is essentially the body's storage system. Choji felt such a recoil due to the first one due to the fact that he used most of the readily available energy his body had available when he ate the green spinach pill to give him his first burst of strength. Once the reaction was over, he took the full force of the exhaustion caused by using so much energy all at the same time rather than in small amounts or a build up. The same can be said for the Yellow curry pill but in an exponentially higher dose, which probably also used up all the potential energy in his digestive system as well to power itself. It's most likely why he felt like he couldn't move afterwards, he literally had no more energy to spare to do so. The final red chili pepper pill used all the potential energy (IE. fat) left in him to power itself and left him in a sorry state with the recoil. While he may have been skinny now (seriously, you see that boys legs? where do i get that diet pill?) he had completely exhausted all the energy, potential or actual, that he had. That being the case, his body most likely couldn't handle the strain and either shut down or, like Jack said, caused a heart attack. Now that science corner is over, what do you think is going to happen with the further fights to come? Remember that the sound ninja all have 2 more forms that increase their capabilities thanks to curse marks and that could be a major problem for those that don't have Choji's power-up pills to help them out. Could become a sticky situation...in Neji's case, literally. P.S. Yes, Tat is my favorite. She likes to respond to her messages in the first 24hours rather than the first 7days which I greatly appreciate. Virtual hand heart, Tat. P.P.S. Still top tier Kat (put the bat down please).

Kat, you know me from Patreon day. The backstory to my name can be found by reading it backwards. There are some butterflies that are real and there are some that are made from Choji's chakra. I find it interesting that the anime points out several times in the series so far that visually seeing pure chakra is rare. Naruto's Nine Tails chakra and Rasengan were both commented on in this way. Here Choji's chakra becomes butterflies and the bad guy swipes at it, obviously seeing and reacting to it. Not sure what this means but I think it makes Choji that much more special.

I think If I remember correctly those are forbidden diet pills unlike most other ninja Choji uses up calories for his ninjitsu as well as chakra. Because of that he needs to be chunky to even preform his clans ninjitsu. Did you notice how thin he became after eating the red pill I think the huge conversion of fat to chakra caused him to have a heart attack.

Sith and Jedi, they're both obsessive extremist cults who pervert and warp the minds of children and the vulnerable while completely misunderstanding the Force. You know, the thing they're supposed to be experts at. No thank you. On to the Naruto lol, the earrings Shikamaru and Choji wear have significance, for reasons. Cho(with a macron or line over the o) translates to butterfly, thus the butterfly imagery and him being recognized for who he is within and "becoming a butterfly" at the end by protecting his friends and demonstrating his true nature. The fact that this series, with so many desperately lonely kids, can do yet another lonely story and have it be both honest and emotional as well as uniquely different from the others is amazing to me. As for Choji's...condition at the moment, well it was stated multiple times that he absolutely shouldn't take the red pill. As to why a 12-13 y/o genin has pills like that, look at them like Choji's version of Lee's 8 Inner Gates. A Forbidden/Hidden Jutsu granting increasingly incredible strength with correlating consequences ending in the same place, likely entrusted to him by his father for use in only the most desperate circumstances. Edit: Very Sad Kat. It gets very sad.
