The manga started in 2000. So more than likely it’s merch from manga sales around it.

Historically inaccurate Naruto merch is such a funny inconsistency

It’s kind of weird to assume he wasn’t an OG fan the kind who watched the Japanese in English subs on bootleg sites before the show even hit America. Let’s be real, with a name like “The Roof Man,” that’s exactly the kind of thing he’d do.

its not the fact that its a Naruto hoodie because it was getting Eng translation in 2002 and toys and merch in 2004 its the fact that its a SHIPPUDEN HOODIE that sends me wild

Naruto was already popular in America bc of fansubs before it got licensed in English. Naruto online piracy in America is the reason it got its license. Bc so many ppl in U.S. were downloading it for free

Nah, Naruto was serialized in the US version of Shonen Jump starting in 2003. It's not a time discrepancy, it just implies that Channing Tatum was such a huge weeb that he somehow imported a Naruto hoody from Japan based on the first few issues of its manga run.

It’s like Bucky Barnes saying he read the hobbit but it didn’t release in America till way after he was frozen up so that means he tracked a copy down from England and has it mailed to him lol

do you think we didn't watch Naruto until it was released in America? Don't underestimate the lengths old otakus went through to get what we wanted

Not to mention anime merch was super rare in the US those days unless it was Dragonball or on 4Kids

Naruto was really big even before its american release. I remember a ton of merch back then even in 2004. Anime nerds never really limited themselves to official releases and the Manga was a huge success here. It's also around the same era stores realized they could capitalize on it thanks to Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon, and Dragonball. You could buy posters at Walmart.

It's certainly odd but we definitely had import shops around. It's how I got pokemon merch before the games released in America.

As someone who was OBSESSED with Naruto in the early years I count find maybe one shirt at hot topic and that was it. Getting merch was damn near impossible

Channing tatum is a huge nerd for god's sakes He learned to creole to play Gambit. Channing tatum is the kind of person I could a hundred percent see being an o g fan of the anime in japanese before it got ported over to the U.S
