I Counted Every Flashback In Naruto
As we all know, Naruto is an anime notorious for its flashbacks. I remember being so annoyed at seeing the same flashbacks multiple times in an episode when I first watched it. So way back in July of 2017 I got curious and wondered how many flashbacks there were in total. And yes it took me almost 3 years to complete this. I watched every episode and tallied every flashback I saw and categorized it as well. And now as of July 2019, I have finally finished. And here are my findings:
18 flashbacks about Naruto’s childhood/years in the Academy
47 flashbacks about Sasuke/Uchiha Clan
12 flashbacks about the conflict with Mizuki/Mizuki’s life
56 flashbacks about the Land of the Wave Arc/Zabuza & Haku/Inari & his Dad
21 flashbacks about Itachi
23 flashbacks about the Sasuke Recovery Arc
10 flashbacks about the Uchiha Massacre
12 flashbacks about Kimmimaro
3 flashbacks about the Kyuubi Attack
11 flashbacks about the Third Hokage
7 flashbacks about Iruka/his childhood
3 flashbacks about Kyuubi sealed into Naruto/Naruto’s birth
22 flashbacks about Naruto saying inspirational words/speech
44 flashbacks about Team 7 or members of Team 7
10 flashbacks about Naruto training
12 flashbacks about Naruto having moments with others
31 flashbacks about Naruto & Sasuke having fights/moments
19 flashbacks are misc or I don’t know how to place
98 flashbacks about the Chuunin Exams
32 flashbacks about Team Gai or members of Team Gai
9 flashbacks about Sakura & Ino (their friendship)
22 flashbacks about Orochimaru
24 flashbacks about Hinata & Neji
20 flashbacks about Team 10 or members of Team 10
36 flashbacks about the Sand Siblings & their childhood
35 flashbacks about Jiraiya & Tsunade/their childhood
30 flashbacks about Team 8 or members of Team 8

5 flashbacks about Land of Rice Feilds Investigation Mission/Fuuma Clan

3 flashbacks about Gosunkugi Capture Mission
14 flashbacks about Cursed Warrior Extermination Mission
5 flashbacks about Anko/her past
6 flashbacks about the Kaima Capture Mission/Isaribi & her life
24 flashbacks about the Star Guard Mission/Sumaru’s Past and family
6 flashbacks about the Peddlers Escort Mission
18 flashbacks about the Konoha Plans Recapture Mission
13 flashbacks about the Yakumo Kurama Rescue Mission
10 flashbacks about the Gantetsu Mission/Todoroki’s past
6 flashbacks about the Menma Memory Search Mission
6 flashbacks about the Sunagakure support Mission/Matsuri
The grand total of all flashbacks is: 791
So yeah, that’s how many there are. Some of them were rather difficult to decide if it was a flashback or not but I think I did pretty well. Now I’m onto the real challenge-Shippuden. If I don’t upload another list by 2021 then I’m probably dead.
