Kakashi Hatake

## Kakashi Hatake (Naruto)

**Kakashi Hatake** (Japanese: はたけ カカシ, Hepburn: *Hatake Kakashi*) is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists in the *Naruto* manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. In the story, Kakashi is the teacher of Team 7, consisting of the series' primary characters, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. Kakashi's past has been extensively explored in the series, resulting in a *gaiden* being devoted to his past experiences. Kakashi has appeared in several pieces of *Naruto* media, the featured films in the series, the original video animations, and the video games.

Kakashi is depicted in *Naruto* as an eccentric but highly skilled shinobi for the Hidden Leaf Village. Initially cold and calculated due to the suicide of his father, Sakumo, Kakashi eventually began to warm up in his youth with the help of his teammate Obito Uchiha, while they are under the tutelage of Naruto's father Minato Namikaze. It is through Obito that Kakashi obtains the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, which he uses to copy the abilities of his opponents and make his own, but also drains his energy. Following the deaths of all of his squadmates, unaware of Obito's survival, Kakashi is eventually given charge of Team 7 due to his connections with Minato and the Uchiha, and through them is able to finally have the family he never had. He is initially portrayed as a detached and apathetic figure, but as the series progresses, his loyalty to his friends, students, and the village becomes increasingly apparent.

Kakashi was originally created by Kishimoto to be a harsh teacher but the author decided to avoid that. Instead, he made him more generous to calm his students in difficult situations to the point of giving him feminine traits. Kakashi's design gave Kishimoto difficulties as a result of having most of his face covered and as a result it was difficult to show his emotions. For the anime series, he is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue in Japanese and Dave Wittenberg in the English dub.

Numerous anime and manga publications have praised and criticized Kakashi's character. Although he has been noted to be an echo of similar detached *shōnen manga* characters, the duality of Kakashi's apathetic and serious sides have been praised. Kakashi has been highly popular with the *Naruto* reader base, placing high in several popularity polls. Merchandise based on Kakashi has also been released, including key chains and plush dolls.

Jonathan Joestar VS Tanjiro Kamado

#### (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure VS Demon Slayer)

* They are both anime protagonists and monster-slaying swordsmen who face undead, nocturnal creatures with healing factors that devour human flesh but have a weakness to the sun (Vampires and Demons, respectively).
* Both are known to be utterly pure-hearted, kind, respectful, and merciful, even to their enemies, and had lived their normal lives in peace until one night a tragic incident occurred in their home in which their sibling was turned into a powerful, undead monster (Dio became a Vampire and Nezuko became a Demon, respectively) while the rest of their family was killed, leading to both going on a quest to defeat the monster who killed their family (Dio and Muzan, respectively).
* Their sibling’s transformation would also reflect their relationships in contrasting ways (Dio’s newfound power made him even crueler towards Jonathan, leading to Jonathan vowing to stop him once and for all, while Tanjiro and Nezuko loved each other so much that Nezuko became a uniquely good demon, with Tanjiro wanting to turn her back into a human).
* Both would go on to meet an experienced monster slayer (Will Zeppeli and Sakonji Urokodaki, respectively) who trained them to utilize a specialized breathing technique meant to fight against the undead monsters of their world by channeling the power of the sun (Hamon and Water/Sun Breathing, respectively) and they would also gain a sword to wield said power (Luck and Pluck and the Nichirin Blade, respectively).
* Despite their optimism throughout their difficult lives, both would have their bodies stolen by their respective archenemies (Dio attached his head to Jonathan’s body and Muzan possessed Tanjiro) at the end of their storylines and tragically die at a young age (Jonathan died at 21, while The Demon Slayer Mark curses Tanjiro to die before/at 25), but not before getting married (to Erina Pendleton and Kanao Tsuyuri, respectively) and continuing their bloodline for several generations into the modern day, while they themselves lived in a relatively modern historical era (Victorian Era England and Taisho Era Japan, respectively).

* Portal powers (though Polka-Dot Man only had these very briefly in the 2000s for like two issues)

Being the only child who inherited both Endeavor and Rei's Quirks, Shoto was often separated from his siblings. After witnessing how Endeavor abused his mother, Shoto began to despise Endeavor and refused to use his fire powers as a result, though he began to use them more after a fight with Izuku Midoriya.

Shoto's Quirk is Half-Cold Half-Hot (半冷半燃), which allows him to shoot flames from the left side of his body and freeze things with the right side of his body. However, there are drawbacks to either side's overuse. Shoto has received positive reception by critics, with many praising his character development and origins in the anime.

Within *Zelda* mythology, Link is the soul of a legendary hero that throughout history is reincarnated within a seemingly ordinary boy or young man whenever evil arises. To defeat Ganon, Link usually obtains the mystical Master Sword or a similar legendary weapon obtained after completing many trials.

In addition to the main series, Link has appeared in other Nintendo media, including merchandise, comics and manga, and an animated television series.

Sakura Haruno

## Sakura Haruno (Naruto)

Sakura Haruno (Japanese: 春野 サクラ, Hepburn: Haruno Sakura) is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Sakura is depicted as a kunoichi affiliated with Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里, English version: "Hidden Leaf Village") and a part of Team 7, which consists of herself, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and their sensei Kakashi Hatake. Besides the main series, Sakura has appeared in several pieces of the Naruto media, most notably the spin-off Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring (2015) and the sequel Boruto: Naruto Next Generations (2016) where she married Sasuke Uchiha taking name of Sakura Uchiha (Japanese: うちは サクラ, Hepburn: Uchiha Sakura) and is the mother of their daughter, Sarada Uchiha.[1]

Sakura is depicted as an innocent girl who does not share the same tragic backstories as her teammates but was regardless bullied throughout her youth. She initially has an infatuation for Sasuke, praising him at every juncture, and is initially unambitious aside from becoming Sasuke's girlfriend; by contrast, she is dismissive to her less-skilled teammate Naruto despite, ironically, being Naruto's initial love interest. Over the course of the series, as Sasuke eventually leaves the village, Sakura begins to shed this singularly driven persona, becoming an elite medical ninja while apprenticed under the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, and becomes friendly and even protective of Naruto as his life becomes increasingly at risk.

Sakura serves as the series' female lead, although she was not immediately intended for the role. Kishimoto had difficulty drawing her character, resulting in Kishimoto inadvertently emphasizing certain parts of her appearance, including her large forehead which was written into her character. In order to make the character more appealing in the second part of the series, Kishimoto designed her costume in a way that makes her look more like a martial artist as well as more beautiful during later chapters. Chie Nakamura voices the character in the animated adaptations of the series, while Kate Higgins plays her in the English dub.

Numerous anime and manga publications have praised and criticized Sakura's character. She was initially noted to be a stereotypical shōnen character, representing a love interest for the protagonist, and was said to serve little purpose at the beginning of the series beyond being comic relief. Her emergence from this stereotype as the series progressed, thanks to her training with Tsunade, which leads her to develop her medical and combat skills, has been celebrated by many reviewers. Amongst the Naruto reader base, Sakura has been popular, placing high in some polls. Several pieces of merchandise have been released in Sakura's likeness, such as action figures and key chains.

It even gets to the point where they hold themselves back all the time in order to even have a fight. Eventually, they have their big fight where they can go all out in contrasting ways (Saitama fights Garou who killed genos and Nemona fights the player character, who is their friend)

Blut

**Blut** ist eine Körperflüssigkeit, die mit Unterstützung des Herz-Kreislauf-Systems die Funktionalität der verschiedenen Körpergewebe über vielfältige Transport- und Verknüpfungsfunktionen sicherstellt. Blut besteht aus speziellen Zellen sowie dem proteinreichen Blutplasma, das im Herz-Kreislauf-System als Träger dieser Zellen fungiert.

Blut wird vornehmlich durch mechanische Tätigkeit des Herzens in einem Kreislaufsystem, dem Blutkreislauf, durch die Blutgefäße des Körpers gepumpt. Unterstützend wirken Venenklappen in Kombination mit Muskelarbeit. Dabei werden die Gefäße, die vom Herzen wegführen, als Arterien und jene, die zurück zum Herzen führen, als Venen bezeichnet. Das Gefäßsystem eines erwachsenen Menschen enthält etwa 5 bis 6 Liter Blut. Durchschnittlich haben Männer etwa 1 Liter mehr Blut als Frauen, was vor allem auf Größen- und Gewichtsunterschiede zurückzuführen ist.
