The Naruto Saga has grown to epic proportions over the two-plus decades of since it launched. Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden built the franchise from a cult-hit to a mainstream anime hit – and now, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is a bonafide worldwide phenomenon. As Naruto has become bigger and more famous, the expressions of love within the fandom have gotten even bigger, as well. We’ve seen epic Naruto cosplay, and even some epic Naruto tattoos, but today we have the example of one fan who is taking cosplay so far that he made his own real-life Sasuke Fireball jutsu!

Real Fire Style Fire Ball Jutsu๐Ÿ”ฅ (Entire video sponsored by and edited on VMaker.

If you do, learn from someone and do your research!โš ๏ธ โ€ข โ€ข Iโ€™m hyper proud of this video if you canโ€™t tell ๐Ÿ˜… โ€ข โ€ข Cosplay for me is suppose to be more. This is my goal to be next level and do what no one has done before. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป I mean, has there ever been a Sasuke Cosplayer to blow real fire? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข This has been a dream video for me to shoot! Iโ€™ve learned the art of fire breathing just so I could cosplay Sasuke and do this. And wow was it a lot of effort to learn and to film in cosplay! ๐Ÿ˜ซThereโ€™s a lot of risk to it too (the fire traveled into my mouth and burned me a bit on one outtake๐Ÿ˜…) but the end result makes me so proud that I donโ€™t even care! Expect more cinematic footage in the future!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป (I actually had a full CMV planned for this, but weather didnโ€™t allow.) โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข This project was not only a dream project of mine, but it was also my first sponsored video project, courtesy of the new iOS Video Editing App Vmaker. ๐ŸŽฅ Many ask how I do my videos, this entire vid was edited on my phone using this App. The fire was real and not an effect so donโ€™t expect that lol, but the video cutting, the music, and adjustments was all done on the app. It was simple and fit all my needs. Look for full overview and review of the App in my IGTV. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป The App is free and can be downloaded from the App Store or by the link in my Bio. โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข Shoutout to @kate_s62 for reaching out to me for the project. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ โ€ข And shoutout to my big brother for helping me film this and being ready to hit me with a fire extinguisher if I caught fire ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ€ข โ€ข โ€ข #sasukeuchiha #sasukexsakura #sasukevsnaruto #sasukekun #uchiha #firebreather #uchihasasuke #cosplayvideo #cosplayglowup #shippuden #narutolover #narutocosplay #sasukecosplay #holmat2019 #holidaymatsuri #vizmedia #explorepages #shonenjump #jumpforce

Okay, so was that not epic! As we said: there’s cosplay, and then there’s what that guy just did!

CopyCatCosplayer isn’t just good at the big spectacle – he also has a pretty good sense of humor. Check out this video where he captures Sasuke’s Naruto: Shippuden Emo angst by staring off epically into the sunset:

Fans are really feeling some strong Sasuke nostalgia right now, thanks to Boruto. The anime’s recent “Time Travel Arc” took Boruto and Adult Sasuke back to the past, to the time in between the original Naruto anime and Naruto: Shippuden. That’s when Sasuke defected from Hidden Leaf, and by traveling to the past, Adult Sasuke was forced to finally face the pain his Emo younger self caused all his friends and loved ones. That sunset stare video is truly timely and on point.

Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto for Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, Naruto follows a young ninja, with a sealed demon within him, that wishes to become the leader of his home village. The series ran for 700 chapters overall, and was adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot and Aniplex that ran from 2002 to 2017. The series was popular enough to warrant a sequel, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations which is set several years after the events of the original Naruto story and features the children of many of its key characters such as Naruto and Hinata.
