They skipped a week of putting out Naruto Shippuuden, so this week there were 2 episodes. :P In the first part, it was about Jiraiya's past. Jiraiya's character is based off a Japanese folktale of a character with the same name. He was a ninja too, but in this other story he could morph into a toad. He fell in love and married someone named Tsunade who mastered snail magic. (He also added Tsunade to the world of Naruto.) Oh, and wouldn't you know it Orochimaru mastered snake magic and was Jiraiya's arch enemy. So, he's taken from the story too. Kind of cool! When Jiraiya started out he seemed just like Naruto. According to the 3rd Hokage, everyone has a certain animal they align with that they can summon. Without making a contract with any animal, Jiraiya tries to summon one. He ends up in Mount Myoboku, the land of the toads. The toad elder called 'Great Lord Elder' had predicted Jiraiya would end up there and that eventually he'd make a contract with him. He's told that later the elder will tell him his prophecy. So, in the meantime, Jiraiya trains as being a toad sage half the time, and trains in ninjutsu in Konoha the rest of the time. He finally gets to see the elder and finds out the toad is so old he's senile and keeps asking who he is. :P Most of the prophecy that the toad predicted has already come true. He said Jiraiya will, despite being a big pervert, be a great ninja. While doing so, he'll travel the world writing his novel. He also told him after all this he'll find a disciple who will bring peace to the world. After traveling for a while, war breaks out over the five great nations. So, he joins his team again (Tsunade and Orochimaru) and tries to bring peace to the land. Eventually, after winning so many battles they are given the title of the Legendary Sannin. Just after this on the way back to Konoha, they meet 3 kids. Their names at the time were Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan. (I think later Yahiko changes his name to Pain.) They were orphaned because of the war. They were also begging for food, so the team gives them their bread. For thanks, Konan makes a paper rose and offers it to them. Jiraiya decides to take care of them, at least until they are strong enough to fend for themselves. Apparently, Konan and I think Nagato have the Rinnegan. (At least it looked like he was talking about Konan at first.) Rinnegan is considered more superior of a bloodline technique than Sharingan and Byakugan. (They are shown in the users eyes when used.) It's as Jiraiya said what the 'father' of ninjas possessed. With it you can develop all the jutsu that are known and create more. You can use it to either save the world or obliterate it. Nagato for sure used it, and killed someone instantly. So, Jiraiya believes this is the revolutionary that the toad was talking about. After working with them for 3 years, Jiraiya leaves to go back to Konoha. Later, he gets a letter telling him that the 3 kids are dead. So, he moved on to his next disciple, who ended up becoming the 4th Hokage. He read Jiraiya's first book, which basically was about the adventures he's had. The Hokage liked the main character so much he names his son Naruto. He hopes his son will be as great. Finally we see Naruto's mother who at the time was very pregnant with him. Jiraiya becomes Naruto's g-dfather. The funny thing is they don't really get to know each other until years later. Makes sense now why Jiraiya wanted to train Naruto.
てつち
For Japanese, I did the rest of te section, tsu section, and started the chi section. 出口 or deguchi means exit, gateway, or way out. (It looks like the kanji for to go out and mouth. Interesting.) Tesuto means test. Dewa means then, well, or so. It's funny because the last letter is written as ha, but you pronounce it as wa in this case. Depaato means department store. Demo means but, however, still, yet, even though, or although. Terebi means TV or television. 天気 or tenki means weather, the elements, fair weather, or fine weather. 電気 or denki means electricity. I've noticed that den must go with anything that's electric, they just slap it on. The kanji for it is cool too. :P 電車 or densha means (electric) train. 電話 or denwa means telephone. 次 or tsugi means next. 机 or tsukue means desk. 詰まらない or tsumaranai means uninteresting or boring. 冷たい or tsumetai means cold or freezing. 強い or tsuyoi means strong. 小さい or chiisai means small. 近い or chikai means near.
Well, I'll talk about Vocaloids tomorrow. They're very interesting. I just don't have the time right now. ^_^
