NARUTO KAI: ULTIMATE SUBBED EDITION
PLEASE READ THE POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS (ESPECIALLY THE FAQ)
Naruto Kai is a fan project dedicated to removing filler, padding and any other executive-minded nonsense that made the Naruto animated series the mess that it is. Each episode roughly corresponds to each volume of the comic, running for about 1 and a half to 2 hours.
Many people have worked on this project before me (notably including u/Thekaiguy) and I’ve just picked up the torch to expand on where they left off. I basically figured there were several things I could fix myself so I decided to work on my own ideal “perfect” version for the Japanese dub.
What I’ve done is:
Entirely re-translated most episodes that had amateur/inadequate subtitles in order to do justice to the dialogue
Fixed minterpreted lines in other translations
Edited out unnecessary recaps and padding in order to service the pacing
Edited in certain scenes that were added to the show to expand on and compliment the canonical content rather than just pad it out
Any tweaks that I made to the episodes are specified in the notes below the episode name. “Sub fix” means that I’ve re-translated an episode’s subtitles. The other few different translations in the series were fine, so I didn’t bother tweaking them. I still don’t consider them perfect due to issues such as over-simplistic dialogue, odd and awkward phrasing, and overly edgy swearing, but they’re definitely watchable.
On that note, it’s worth saying that this edit isn’t perfect. I’m just one guy with a busy life who took on a big hobby, which was also worked on by other people with busy lives. My subs have the occassional spelling mistake, some stuff isn’t translated as well as it could be, I forgot to cut some stuff out, etc. This is most apparent in the first few episodes but after that I more or less found my feet. Please keep in mind that though some things could be better, me and everyone else who worked on this fan edit put in many hours of work for free, because we just really love this show and we want it to be the best that we can make it.
Note from kuchikirukia:
For this torrent I’ve renamed episodes 1-9 to 01-09, since some file systems will order it as 1, 10, 11, 12… 2, 20, 21, 22…
If you have the previous torrents just throw them all in a directory named “Naruto Kai” (no quotes) and rename episodes 1-9 to 01-09 and they will recheck to this one.
This second upload contains episodes 37 and 38 that were missing from the first, and I’ve included USS’ Naruto Movie 7 - The Last, since I wasn’t going to include the terrible 1.1GB .flv encode on Reddit. I stripped the dub from USS and replaced the AC-3 with AAC, since this isn’t a dual-audio torrent and I don’t do AC-3.

What did you use as source for the video?
kuchikirukia (uploader)
Not mine.
cybernaut
boobychan you keep asking the same question on every upload. Just go to the reddit link and ask Kloggmankey.

plss seed as long as u can

What is the difference between this Naruto Kai Complete release and the previous one? I noticed that this one has a few more gigs of files.
kuchikirukia (uploader)
My other one was missing episodes 37 and 38 and the movie.
The torrent by the other guy is Reddit-complete, but has the terrible web rip of the movie.
SSJLuffy
Damn, the video is kinda bad.
boobychan
It seems like the encoding was done using Handbrake which I always thought wasn’t very good for encoding anime. Also, I think the audio bit rate should be higher than 160 kb/s
Kinganime
Thank you very much
akadende
high file sizes… besides there are no enough seeders at the moment :(

Look if you are coming here for the best quality then go elsewhere. This is a filler removal passion project done in peoples spare time. If you want the best quality then go download something else. That said outside of a few pretty bad earlier episodes the quality is completely passable, unless you are being insanely picky, and perfectly fine once it’s goes into the HD stuff.
Chytharo
I like the idea and how it was cut/edited, but I have to say that at places the quality is hardly acceptable for me. I wouldn’t mind some minor quality decrease, but some of the HD episodes look more like DVD material with very noticable artifacts, some look even worse than that.
A bunch of episodes seem like they were simply ripped from a kissanime stream, even including the watermarks and everything.
Also it uses censored versions of all episodes that had major edits or entirely missing cuts in their first japanese broadcasting.
it doesn’t have to look perfect, but I think if you are working on a project like this, you should at least try to get a better video source than ripping kissanime potato streams.

thank you for the the contribution to the anime society Mr.kuchikirukia, may you been blessed with time~ hope to see more of your work in the future~
mariondomenei
thanks so much for this!
MrAnon
The quality is absolute fucking shit clearly made by a literal monkey that knows nothing about video encoding, fuck this shit.
Kinganime
wow super crazy thanks a lot.
Nigga_San
Thanks <3
Saraneth
Thanks. Will keep this seeded for as long as it takes me to watch it all.
Nokiya
Such a massive file size and video quality or translation/sub type is not even mentioned.
What the hell is the guy who made this thinking?
Yea BRB let me download 60 gigs to find out video is blurry and translation is some localized garbage.
Nokiya
So I downloaded it and exactly as I thought: localized garbage.
Wrong name order. No honorifics etc. Its like watching a shitty dub with the extra of “sensei” instead of teacher.
Some episodes are hardsubbed meaning there was no editing done to them at all.
Overall massive disappointment. No proper work went into this outside of cutting up the episodes and removing filter, which in itself also has a downside of not having OP/ED regularly imo. Naruto has amazing OPs/EDs for the most part. Missing them is missing experience.
Every single similar project so far has been incredibly inconsistent, unfinished and just plain bad.
I will most likely edit every single episode sometime in the future but will keep it “episoded”, because Karaoke are important part of Anime.
If I go with it I’ll do Boruto as well.
Will see how it goes.
jojofag_br
@Nokiya you must be a blast to be with at parties.
I will seed until i delete it, thanks for this kuchikirukia

SoulTaker

darthnero
@johnDoeOfNyaa yes please could you reup? this was very convenient. i was downloading from mega but suddenly all links got taken down.
talkaboutbad
Quality is pretty awful sadly. Would be awesome if someone remade this with Yellow Flash’s version.
Karellen
This is a huge work and quite an accomplishment, thank you a thousand times Kloggmankey and kuchikirukia.
You gave a chance to many to (re) discover Naruto anime as it should be!
sangofe

Sync of the audio seems to be around 140 ms too late. I’ve only checked out episode 1
popcan37
wow so many haters…These picky man children should really just keep their toxic shit inside. Its not perfect but it will save me time and its still way better than the .rm and xvid/avi that i watched almost “17-18?” years ago. IDK im old af but I can still remember that horrible year and a half of fillers before Shippuden started. Thanks for sharing.
Broleta
I wish someone would do a One Pace level edit of Naruto. That group have such high quality releases that there’s no reason to watch the official One Piece anime over it.
gokurosan
The Akatsuki or “main” plot is a sideplot, the show is about Naruto & the village Konoha.

I watched this other edit completely and I thought it was good:
