I still can’t get over how Naruto is literally named after the little pink spiral thingies you get in ramen noodles
the western equivalent would be like naming your kid fucking Crouton
MY NAME IS CROUTON AND IM GONNA BE PRESIDENT SOMEDAY BELIEVE IT
It gets better: Narutomaki, the aforementioned topping, is named for the whirlpools in the region it originated from. His last name, Uzumaki, means vortex/spiral. So the kid’s name is basically whirlpool vortex, or if you really want to simplify it, spiral spiral.
Naruto Uzumaki joins Remus Lupin in the Moon Moon Category of naming.
